Crude oil production in the United States for the first
week in November reached 1885, 900 barrels day.
record for all time The greatest daily production pre-
viously recorded was 1884 barrels in May 1925
Tremendous production from new fields in Seminole

served to swell the total to unprecedented figure.
The Seminole pool discovered only few weeks
ago. yet it's production reaches about 10000 bar

 Turned to Furniture

Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 2l. Rl-The sable palmetto tree, emblematic of the state of South Carolina is about to attain it's second place in the history of the United States. This time 1t will be chronicled in the annals of furniture manufacturing
 The tree received first historical mention as a protection for the American colonists in their defense of Fort Moultrie, where the shot from the British fleet sank harm lessly in the soft spongy logs.
 His attention prompted by the unique porous quality Of the tree, a large industrialist acquired S00,- 900 acre tract Of groves and enlisted the aid of twelve laboratories of furniture companies in an attempt 10 apply a veneer finish. After all had failed the work was assigned to the wood work department of the Georgia School of Technology which, after a two year period of research. has just succeeded in applying glass-like veneered surface and is now producing actual samples.
 Its only use in the past has been for dock piling and the building of rugged, picturesque log cabins.

 Six Persons Died

Riverhead, L. l.. Oct. 2i-The Suffolk County Grand Jury, which has been Investigating the wreck of a Long Island railroad train at Cal verton on August 13 in which six persons were killed and 20 injured, sharply criticized the railroad in a presentment handed up to Supreme Court Justice Charles J.

 The cause of the wreck, according 10 the findings of the jury, was the working loose and dropping off of q nut from the arm of switch at Calverton. Antonio Dininizio, sec 'iOIl SetllS lol tllIdIi, "llO Sdlu ilS HdI inspected the switch four days be- fore the crash and had found 1t in good condition, was declared in the prescntment to be improperly quail fled as foreman. and his reputed inspection of the switch was asserted to have been either Superficial or lacking"
 Dr. Clarence C. Miles of Green port. a coroner, was subjected to se- were criticism because he was a railroad physician when he con- ductel the inquest into the deaths Of the wreck victims, and In its pre- sentiment tho grand jury went on record as being opposed to doctors heinz coroners and employees of the railroad at the same time.
 The presentment recommended that the public service commission and the interstate commerce com mission take such action as will protect the travelling public" on the Long Island railroad, and that leg islation be enacted at once to rem oiy the conditions on the railroad condemned by the grand jurors.
