B0TAN|ST STUDIES
TROPICAL FLORA
StandIey's Explorations Mean
Savings to Industries Using
Plant Oils and Gums.

The interests of those American in.
dustries which depend upon such raw
materials as gums, resins cabinet
woods, drug and oil plants, are being
very actively served by the botanical
exploration of Costa Rica and other
Central American states which Paul
G. Standley, Smithsonian botanist, is
now carrying on with the financial sup
port of Mr.. Oakes Ames of Boston.
Tho Smithsonian Institution has just
received word from Mr.. Standley that
he has succeeded in collecting 5000
specimens of plants in Costa Rica.
Many of these will undoubtedly be new
species.
The meaning of this scientific work
TO industry is that the data when pub
lished will bring to the knowledge OF
commerce the existence of certain
plants commercially useful, of which
nothing is now known, and VIII
further enable it to distinguish be-
tween useful and non-useful plants.
This may be illustrated by the results
obtained from q recent publication by
Mr.. Standley on the trees and SHRUBS
Of Mexico. Before the appearance OF
that work one American industry was
importing raw gum from Mexico, 80
per cent of which was waste, because
for lack of definite description or the
flora of the country the industry dld
not know from which particular gum
trees the commercial product came.
That is, while many plants produced
gum, only a portion Of suoh gums were
usable.
Brought Cost Reduction.
Thanks to Mr. Standley's critical
studies of all these plants, the com
pany in question was able to specify
to the native gum gatherers the trees
which yield the desired gums, ana SO
has eliminated the waste.
This is Mr.. Standley's third success.
sive season of collecting in Central
America. He has devoted himself
mainly TO Costa Rica, Salvador ana
Panama, In addition to his material,
the United States National Herbarlun,
which is under the direction or the
Smithsonian Institution, contains
large series of specimens from Guate'
mala. British Honduras, Nicaragua
and Honduras. Based primarily on
this material, the Smithsonian 1nstl'
tuition plans a general descriptive ac-
count Of the flora of Central America,
which. as Indicated, will be Of first I'M
portance to American business.
More Funds Needed.
Before this can be properly under
taken. however, much more intensive
exploration of Honduras, and Mica
ragua in particular, is necessary. Tne
flora OF these two countries IS practi'
callv unknown, and should receive the
same attention as that given in recent
years to the flora of Costa Rca. TO
accomplish this funds are needed.
Mr.. STANDBY is bringing back with
him no less than 1900 specimens of
orchids. He says of the orchids OF
Costa Rica that they almost fill the
role Of weeds" This little republic,
which approximates West Virginia IN
size, has the richest variety of flower.

similar size in the Western Hemi.

than 5000 species. The United States
and Canada have only $4,000 species.
though they cover 130 times the area

London Borough
Under Labor Rule
To Fly Red Flag
BY tho Associated Press.


LONDON, March 24.-Bermond-
sey, a London borough largely
inhabited by working.class people.
has decided to fly the red flag over
its town hall instead of the Union
Jack. thus following the example
of its sister borough, Battersea.
The town councillors, most Of
whom belong to the Labor party,
have decided that the new red flag
will shcw the arms Of the borough
in the upper left-hand quarter.
j. A. w. Douglas. secretary of
the council. said no disrespect was
intended toward the Union Jack.
There Is a growing tendency for
boroughs to fly their own flags,
and. as the old Union Jack was
worn out, Bermondsey decided to
buy a new red flag.

President Coolidge let it be known
yesterday that he would like to spend
his vacation this coming Summer

.SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS
Of OIL INDUSTRY
First Well Gushed Over Half
Century Ago

! Titusyille, Pa, Aug. IS Up Sixty
first artesian oil we'll in the world
was brought in between here and
Oil City by the late Col. z. L. Drake
/ Although negligible quantities of
oil had been found in various parts
/ of the world prior to the time Drake
/ struck petroleum at a depth of So y
feet, his achievement marked the
birth of the gigantic industry and its
subsequent produc =.
| Before brakes discovery. petro-
leum was obtained by skimming from
the surface of pools of water after it
had seeped through the earth. The
| oil secured was used principally for
medicinal purposes and the Indians
utilized it in mixing war paint.
Derricks sprang up like mush-
rooms about his we'll soon after his
experiment proved successful New
producing territory was opened in
other areas later and today wells
may be found in virtually every
quarter of the globe. Original fields
in this territory still are producing
oil but only in small quantities
Drake was not widely known
However the late Henry II. Rodgers
of the Standard Oil Company did
much to perpetuate the first produc-
ers memory by erecting a $780,
900 monument in the cemetery here
where brakes body is inferred. The
Drake Memorial association was
formed in 1918 with membership
of many prominent oil men in the
United States to preserve the col
onels memory.
Drake died poor man, living on
a pension granted by the state of
Pennsylvania and without realizing
the importance of his discovery

TWENTY-FIVE MEN
FLEE FROM prison

Many Bad Men.

The 25 men who escaped, accord
ing to officials, include many of the
most desperate criminals housed at
the institution.
An officer on duty at telephone
| booth in the prison office sounded
the alarm. Officials were summoned
and succeeded in preventing the es-
cape of any of the prisoners con-
fined in the other dormitories.
Rob Garage Later
About fifteen of the convicts later
entered a garage on the outskirts
of the city, commandment four au-
tomobiles and sped away in the gem
eral direction of Detroit.
Local officials attempted to get in
communication with Governor
Groesbeek to obtain guardsmen for
help in rounding up the men. but
the executive, who spoke here last
night was en- route to Lansing on a
train.
A squad of state police arrived
early today to assist in the search.
Frank Shean, warden of the re-
formatory, was absent at the time
of the break, and was reported to
be in Detroit. Deputy Warden Ed
ward Haight was in charge of the
institution.
1t was Haight, assisted by Deputy
Frank Leland, who prevented what
probably would have resulted In a
wholesale delivery. Summoned by
the switchboard attendant, they
rushed to the scene of the distur-
bance, and opened fire on the es-
Gaping men, none of whom appar-
emily was wounded.
The deputies restored order in the
other cells where pandemonium had
broken loose.

BRITISH OPEN
GOLF CONTESTS
PROFESSIONALS AND ANA
TEURS MAKE READY TO
START IN OUTSTANDING
EVENTS OF TOURNAMENT

ST. ANNES, Eng, June 22.-
Professional and amateur golfers
to the number of lit are qualified
to begin play here tomorrow in the
annual British open golf tourna-
ment.
Four American amateurs and
nine professionals will be pitted
against the best players that Great
Britain and the continent can pro-
duce. The title will be defended
by one American, Jim Barnes,
professional, who won it last year.
The play viii last over three
days. One round at eighteen holes
will be played on each of the first
two days and a double round of
thirty-six holes on Friday. All
players who are fifteen strokes be-
hind the low man at the end of
the second round will be auto
matically dropped from the COM
petition. The others viii continue
to play and the man having the
lowest score at the end of the ~
hole match will be the victor.
Bobby Jones of Atlanta, Ca,
who, in the qualifying round.
shot sensational golf. has great
following. His score of 66-6s-
1874, has never been equalled in
tournament play.
Walter Hagen, the only Ameri-
can born goia,= who has ever won
the title--and he has captured it
twice-also is well thought of by
the experts after the thrilling
match he won against Abe
Mitchell last Saturday in one of
his famous fighting rallies. Hagen
came from four down to win by
two and one in - hole match.
Only one other American. aside
from Hagen. ever has taken the
trophy across the sea. he is Jock
Hutchinson, but he is not a native
born. Hutchinson did not coae
across the ocean this year to com.
pete.
