RECKLESS OIL DRAIN
CAUSES HEAVY LOSS

Princeton, N J.-Government ac-
ton is necessary to stop appalling
wastes in the gas industry, DR.. w. T.
Thorn, of the United States geograph-
ical survey, told an audience at
Princeton University.
High pressure competition and
waste were condemned and legislation
was urged to insure the greatest bene-
fit from remaining fields.
Although the United States pro-
duces nearly three-fourths of the
worlds yearly yield of petroleum, it
has only one-seventh of the worlds
reserve, said Dr. Thorn.
Through government aid, he added,
''it is highly probable there would be
saved at least one of the six barrels
which are now in all probability lost
in the extraction Of each. barrel This
would mean an annual saving of a
billion dollars for an expenditure of a
million"

INJURY PROFITS

Lansing, Mich.-The evils of pri

tion are indicated by Silan Main, coun-
ty superintendent of the poor, who
says the private insurance companies
compel employers to weed out only
the most fit workers.
"There are more persons in tine In
CHAM county infrmary than a year
ago." said Mr.. Main. Some of these
persons are physically able to do light
work, but are unable to find employ
ment as the employer does not care
to take chance, he said.
"In fact, there is wedding out
process now going on among factories
in this city. Although the corpora
tion may desire to give employment
to certain persons, yet these persons,
for one reason or another, are bad
risks for employer and the insur-
ance company carrying compensa-

The fact of the matter is that while

Take this very question of hot

There is. perhaps, no other one diet

Self-Reliance.

Here's a shrewd bit of wisdom that
comes from an old Irishwoman: "'Tis
the willing mother that makes the
lazy child" Think il over, and then
start off on new track in dealing
with your children. Stop fetching and
carrying for them. Don't smooth
away all their difficulties. Make them
do for themselves everything they
possibly can. no matter how greatly
YOU would like to help along their
awkwardness or slowness. Let your
children stand on their own feet and
work with their own hands, and use
their own brains. Then they will be
capable, self-re!iant and unafraid.
