EXPERTS DRAFT
PLANS FOR new
OIL EQUIPMENT
win Present Findi1 IS ot Ma
tionol Convention Next
Week on West Coast

Los Angeles. Calf. Jan. 13.
Faced with the necessity of de-
yeloping interchangeable parts,
the sixth national meeting of the
American Petroleum institute
meeting here January 1921, will
receive reports on the work of
400 experts who have been labor
ing many months on standardiza-
tion Of equipment.
These experts, who are at
tempting to solve what is said to
be the most serious problem in
oil well drilling. are members of
the Standardization division of
the institute. They represent
manufacturers. oil companies,
well drillers and others engaged
in the oil industry.
Threads on pipe made by one
manufacturer are not always the
same as those on pipes made by
another manufacturer. although
the article may be labeled with
the same dimensions. What is
the driller to do when he tries to
fit these lengths Of pipe togeth-
er? His only answer heretofore
has been to buy all his pipe from
one manufacturer.
A little article known as a
wrist pin nut also illustrates the
problem. Some manufacturers
make this item with right-hand
threads; others with left-hand.
Numerous instances of this lack
of standardization run through
the industry. The most costly re
suits are said to be in the use cf
misft tubing, casing and pipe,
which represent a fourth of drill
ing costs. Casing, for instance,
is suspended sometimes thou
sands Of feet in a well and the
threads must bear an enormous
weight. 1t they are not true they
may not hold. When casing drops
into a we'll it may ruin a hole on
which thousands Of dollars have
been spent. The threads must be
adjusted to the thourandths of
an inch.
Pipe manufacturers are now
spending more than $4,000 on
uniform gauges meeting t h e
specifications laid down by the
petroleum institute. The bureau
Of standards of the United States
of commerce is aid
ing in the work by testing the
gauges.
Some of the Standardization
work has been completed, other
phases of it will be finally adopt
ed at the Los Angeles meeting.
The tubular goods committee un-
der the Craftsmanship of j. Edgar
Pew of Dallas, president of the
institute, has completed its re-
port, and pipe is now being man
according to the stan
iards it has established.
According to G. A. Young. who
IS secretary of the standardiza-
ton division, drilling costs are to
be reduced many thousands of
dollars by this work.

no longer threatens the welfare of Maine" .....-. Al.
 Chairman Dan W. Cony of the democratic committee contented himself with conceding the election of Gould early in the evening and extending him his congratulations.
 Governor Brewster sent a tele- he said:
 "The overwhelming republican majority cannot be otherwise con- strued than as indi ting convic- ton among citizens without regard to party that grave injustice has been done to you in questioning the method used in the conduct of the primary campaign. One may re- joice in the prospect of republican senator from Maine. and one of your broad experience, without yielding ones convictions as to the relative at stake"
 Gould carried every county and every city in the state. Aroostook county, where for years he has been a leading bu.-neSs man. lumber manufacturer and railroad builder, gave him an 5000 margin In total vote or 9,900. He carried his home town. Presque Isle, 1.096 to 145. and Redman's home city, Ellsworth. 479 to 353. Redman was four votes be- hind Gould in his own ward. Port land, the largest city. gave Gould a majority of 5,S24.

PRO7ESTANTISM IS
 GROWING IN STATE
Conn. Federation Of Churches
 Hears Reports

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 30. R- That Professionalism is holding it's own and in many instances grow ing in the suburban areas of Con- necticut contiguous to New York, Bridgeport, Waterbury, New Britain, New Haven and Hartford was brought out at the annual meeting of the Connecticut Federation of churches at the Hotel Garde here yesterday by Prof. William N. Rice, of Western University and the Rev. Morris E. filling. secretary. Their statements were made as the result of an investigation by the committee on interdenominational comity and as the report of that committee to show population trends and church organization in Connecticut" While Professionalism is also holding it's own' in the larger cities of the state, nevertheless the marked growth is found to be in the sub- urbs of these cities, such as in West Hartford, Manchester, Branford, Naugatuck. and other towns.
 AS result of this investigation the committee on comity submitted the following recommendations:
 That churches and denomination al officials give consideration to the protection of both old and new churches In these suburban areas where competition does not now exist; that new churches consult those nearby; that the yoking and merging of two or more denomina- tions in communities of the state be recommended that recognition be given to the great value of stu dent work in the smaller churches: that there be held 5 conference be- tween the members Of the committee and representatives of the theologi- cal schools and colleges to discuss comity problems as influenced by student service. Such a conference was recommended for next spring, at which rural and city ministers, laymen and national and local church board officers should be present. The report of Prof. Rice and the secretary showed that that section of the state between Bridge port and New York is becoming rapidly filled with commuters ahd that there the ministers have the same problem as in New York city where the popuation is always changing. Apartment houses simi- lar to these in New York are the homes there. The population is like wise growing around New Haven and even more rapidly around Hart ford. the investigation showed. In thc rural districts the federated church is believed to be merely a factor which is saving the country church from it's otherwise inevita ble decline.
 Salvage" the secretary termed this work. Attention was called in the report to the work of the fed erated church in Northeastern Con- nccticut. where agriculture lis de- ching" and where industry is de- clining," and showed that protes- tantism Is declining in most of the country communities in Connecticut.

GOULD WINNER,
 f. 0. P. IN POWER
Maine Senatorial Election Yin dication, Candidate Says

Portland. Me, Nov. 30 P)-Ar- thur R. Gould. republican. was to- day the senator eject from Maine anG contin'- ! republican control of the United States 'enate was thus assured. Maine voters apparently were not greatly worried over the matter as only two-thirds of those who cast their ballots in the state election in September. turned out to vote yesterday.
 Goulds margin of victory over Fulton J. Redman. democrat, was about 4S,000. With 24 precincts missing. representing small and re- mote towns. the vote was:
 Gould-795S2.
 Redman-31,540.
 The special election was occasion ed by the death of Senator Bert M. Fernald, who was reelected in 1924. Redman was the democratic nom- inee in that year also and was Ge- feated by majority of 51,355. Gould's term will expire in 1881.
 AS soon as the result of the elec- tion was known Redman reverted to the issue which had caused great excitement in the campaign by as- serting that he would press at Wash ington charges that Gould had spent an amount largely in excess of the legal limit obtaining his nomination. A few days before the election the Maine secretary of state refused to act on such charges filed by lead ing member of the ku kluy Klan end supported by Governor Ralph O. Brewster, republican. After a hearing he declared the evidence in sufficient.
 "The lection" said Redman, "shows the futilty of wasing a campaign against solid phalanX of newspapers, fey of which have presented anything but one side of the case and some indulging in the most fragrant misrepresentation My every utterance in this campaign has been backed by uncontroverted evi- dence. Right s on my side and l intend to present the case in Wash ington.
 T am not detorrcd by attorneys who adroitly keep out evidence on the ground that it will incriminate and degrade the primary campaign managers of my opponent
 Goulds Statement
 Mir. Gould in thanking his friends for their support said:
 "I am highly gratified at the re- suit of the contest. not only as carry ing with it so flattering an endorse ment of my claims and qualifica- tions for the high office to which ] have been chosen, but also as carry ing with it so ample a vindication of my character as a man and my in teerity in my business career"
 Senator Frederick Hale. repuh- lican, said that the election was "a complete vindication of Mir. Gould' and added:
 "'The campaign of abuse which we have been through and which Is without precedent in any Maine state election in my recollection, has urquestionably reacted in his favor"
 Chairman Daniel r. Field of the republican state committee apprais- ed the result as showing that the good sense of the voters of Maine cannot be overcome by unfounded islander and that the sinister influ- ence of an oath-bound organization

CHICAGO; April 14.-An automobile
stalled on, a hill near Joliet, Ills, end
ed a wild flight from Indiana today
following the robbery of a mail truck
at the rear of the Indiana Harbor post
office TheI robber escaped after fore
ing Frank Watson, driver OF the truck,
whom he had kidnapped at the scene
of the holdup to help push the car into
a garage With him went the con-
tents of .lhe two mail sacks taken
from the tracks and believed to con-
tain $37, 500.
Although witnesses say they saw
two men hold up, Watson and force
him into the automobile, Watson said
only one man was involved. He told
Joliet police that the bandit offered
him 5000 !f he would keep still and
threatened his life when ne refused.
Watson escaped while his captor was
talking to garage men. 'Orficials of
the federal reserve bank which had
shipped $37, 500 to an Indiana Harbor
bank, were unable to ascertain wheth-
er the money was in one of the stolen
sacks. Reports that the $150,000 pay
roll of the Inland Steel company was
also a part of the loot were denied.
This man made me drive all the
way into Joliet after pulling a gun
on me, and making me throw the bags
into the ear Watson told police. Wit
nesses said they saw no gun used in

UP WEEK
FINDS EVERYONE
AIDING In WORK

With half the week gone, the gen
eral city cleanup is progressing nice
ly, city officials report.
Although the actual cleaning up
process rests more with the individual
than the city, the various residents
are responding with a vim. Yards are
putting en- brighter appearance and
if thei rain lets UP a trifle during the
next few days, the campaign may be-
come great deal more extensive and
the painting which is being done in so
many places can progress more readily.
City trucks will probably make the
rounds Friday through the various al
leys to gather in the refuse which
residents are asked to pile there in
suitable receptables. The campaign to
"swat the fly" seems a bit early so
far, as the warm weather is necessary
to bring the flies and it has been too
cold to date for many of tehm to VEN
ture out DR.. Causey urges everyone
to take a swat at the early birds of
that species, however, ana to make
this week a real cleanup week as re-
