Technical Debate to Mark
 Meeting of Oil Ceologists
(By Associated Press)

WICHITA, Kans., Apr. S.-(AP).- - The sub-structure of the principal crude oil fields in the world will be visualized, dissected and discussed during the convention of the Amer ican Association of Petroleum Geolo gists, which meets here soon. Treat ment of this subject occupies the most prominent place on the pro- gram, and will be handled by geolo- gists representing all states and sev- eral foreign countries.
 New light on the general strait graphic background of the Kansas fields, the sub-surface stratigraphy of western Oklahoma, the San Ang- elO formation in Texas, the upper cretaceous diastrophism and sedimen- tation in Montana, the age and cor relation of the kreyenhagen in Calif- ornia, carbon ratios and petroleum in Illinois and the permian of India, is expected to be thrown on these fields in more than so papers to read before the convention.

Seadogs of Danzig Slow
 to Endorse Rotor Vessel

DANZIG, Apr. S.-(AP) ).-Shipping experts are reluctant to pass judg- ment on the recent trip of the rotor ship Buckau from this port to Scot land. They say the Buckau is so small, and the rotor substitute for sails so new, that long experimenta- tion with larger ships will be neces- sary to test the commercial value of the new invention. Nevertheless the speed of the Buckau from Dan- zig to Grangemouth is regarded as satisfactory, in comparison with the average speed of sailing ships of the same size over a similar distance
 The memory of old clippers which crossed the Atlantic from Boston to Liverpool in 12 or 13 days will not fade from the minds of shipping men, who still look back with favor upon the great old sailing ships that were making records in the middle of last century, when sailing was in it's glory It is clear that the oldtimers

Los Angeles Hotels Move
 to Dust Chair Squatters

LOS ANGELES, Apr. S.-(AP).- The old variety of young man-about- town who finds it convenient to while away the hours in a comforta- ble lobby-chair in fashionable ho- tel, whose rates preclude his perma- nent residence there, has been for gotten temporarily by hotel detec- tives in Los Angeles. They have come to center their attention on the 'squatter."
 Squatters usually are tourists who come to Los Angeles, take an mex pensive room and join the cafeteria lines, but every afternoon and even ing go to a smart hotel, clad in their best garments They settle into chairs, where they have a good view ol the passing pageant, and there they tarry, hour after hour, while the hotel guests and their friends are often crowded out.
 Some of the sitters have fayorite chairs and get angry if they find some one ahead of them,' said a hotel houseman. Its all free show, and the idea that hotel guests are forced to stand means nothing to them"
 Therefore little printed cards have been added to the equipment of the house detectives. When an unmis- takable squatter becomes too regu- lar. he is courteously handed this token from the management After reading it he usually moves on.

Engineers Spend Freely
 to Test Scientific Theory

LOS ANGELES, Apr. S.-(AP).- An experimental dam, to be built at a cost of $60,000, only to be de stroyed to test the latest engineering theories in relation to the constant angle arch type, will be constructed soon on Stevenson Creek, tribu- tary of the San Joaquin river north of here. Funds for the work have been provided jointly by Los An geles county and private interests.
 The object of the experiment is to obtain data expected to prove of great value in the construction of dams in the Los Angeles county flood control program, in which ap- proximately $35,O0O,00O will be spent On several of these projects the use of the constant angle arch type is anticipated.
 It is the theory of many engi- neers that the constant angle arch type will permit the use of thinner construction than has been tried here tofore If true, this would reduce materially the cost of dams.
 The experimental dam will be 140 feet long and 60 feet high when the first tests are made. Special instru- ments will be inserted in the con- crete to test stresses, Reflections and temperature changes as the load of water is increased. After this information is obtained, the height of the arch will be run up to 100 feet The water then will be all lowed to rise to the point at which the dam may be pushed out of posi- ton, thus establishing the ultimate resistance of this type of construc- tion.

 Dispense with Death Penalty

BERLIN, Apr. 8.-(AP).-There have been no executions in Berlin since 1921, and it is now being al legged that the number of brutal mur- ders has increased in the German capital because of the disposition of the court to impose sentences of life Imprisonment instead of death.
 Berlin has no executioner and the discussions in the papers as to the advisability of restoring capital pun ishment have brought more than 100 applications from men who want to serve as hangman.

French Designers Failed
 to Grasp American Theme

CHICAGO, Apr. 7.-(AP).-T h e quick, impulsive curve of the French art nouveau style had it's origin in the American broom corn, asserted Charles R. Richards, director of the American Association of Museums, speaking recently at the Art Insti- ute of Chicago.
 When the French and Belgian art ists of the eighties, searching for a new style of art, turned to the curv- ed line of nature, a young lad of IT in Dayton, O., named E. ColOnna, was a apublishing a little book call ed An Essay on Broom Corn" MT. Richards said. The book, dated 1887, consisted first of a naturalistic draw ing of the broom corn, and then a it's curves.
 "Coonna later went to Paris and eventually joined the Paris group which was developing the art nou- veau style His furniture and jew elry appeared in the Paris exposi- ton of 1900, and were so impressive that photographs were made. When I was visiting a prominent art off cial in Paris I noticed in his offices some of Colonna's furniture. He admired it's artistic worth and pre- served it, though the art nouveau style is now dead"
 The art nouveau style in the hand of great designers like Colonna has a lasting artistic value, according to Professor Richards. The reason that it failed as a great art movement was that the curve on which it was based was too subtle an art form and could only be handled with sue cess by genius When it was taken up by the French manufacturers they did not call in the best de- signed, with the result that the curve was used in all sorts of exag- gerated and bizarre ways and the style was soon run out

Mr.. Mellon has been regarded as

source is small and not worth the

pet Of the meat packers. The Fed

on the meat packing industry ii 1913
exposed the fact that tie big meat
packers had a joint unaudited Iegis-
lative expense account. Il gave the
percentages Of this account paid by
several Of the big meat packers to
protect the oleomarearine business.
The Wisconsin Creamery Associa-
ton adopted resolution asking deal
ers not to handle oleomargafine and
urging the citizens of Polk County to
eliminate the use of butter substi-
tutes. One creamery stopped selling
butter at wholesale prices to the con-
sumner after compliance with this re-
quest. The meat packers must be

Commission which was able to see

The meat packers succeeded in secur-
ing a provision in the packer and

"The recent sultry, oppressive
weather serves to illustrate the great
boon Of prohibition, remarks the Will
mington, Del, Labor Herald, which
goes on to say:
Prior to 1913 the worker, his shirt
turned down at the collar, would have
found pleasant relief from such wea-
Their in the quafiing of cold beer, un-
der a revolving fan and enjoying the
good fellowship of fellow workers.
Now, thanks to prohibition, he doesn't
have TO put up with such. iniquity.
Beer has been 4eplaced With a horri-
BILE fat-tasting concoction, near beer,
far more inhammatory to the man ac-
custoned to drinking beer than the
most potent hootch. A sip, of this
near beer has been known to sink a
man to such depths of despair and dis
gust that he has been heard to curse
the institution of prohibition.
1.-THE man with taste for beer
cares little for liquor. His is harm
less habit, and he is fully aware Of it.
Consequently, his disapproval of pro-
hibition, especially when he looks
about and sees the ease with which
colored alcohol, synthetic gin, car
bolic acid Scotch, ETC., can be bought.
Prohibition seems to have little
effect on the sale of thesarpoisons-
but beer, that's something else again.
The whole business lends credence to
the definition thata prohibitionist is
one who dislikes to see anyone enjoy
ing himself or be comfortable"

What we need is little sense in
diplomacy and in government, too.
We need few speeches that aren't
made to suit somebody. but that are
made to express the feelings of this
nation, which is neither cowardly and
white Ivered, nor all full of swagger
and the lust of conquest.
Whatever any speech may say, the
fact remains that this nation will fight
for principle-and there are same
principles left in the world, strange
as that may seem.
Every person hopes right principles
can prevail without having to get seri-
GUS about the discussion of them, but
anybody whose principles are worth
anything to him win stand for them
as long as he can stand at all.

And then Mr.. Coolidge says the
