OIL SHALE is GOLDEN VESTS
NEW BONANZA FOR INDUSTRY

OIL from shale is the vests
~ new romantic bonanza-but
getting it out is another matter.
With a tremendously increased
oil demand the navy is looking
ahead to the day when the wells
go dry.
The government, therefore, has
set aside $4,000 acres of oil shale
land in the Colorado mountains,
and $4,000 acres in Utah.
Oil shale is petroleum-saturated
clay. 1t is deep-brown or black,
and resembles slate. Colorado
and Utah have whole mountains
of it, inside and out the naval re-
serves. Thousands of acres are
already under patent by private
interests.
Extracting 1t
The problem of getting the oil
out the government has tackled in
Colorado by erecting a large expert
ment station on Colorado naval
shale reserve No. 8, a mile and a
half northwest of Rulison, Col, on
the main line of the Denver & Rio
Grande Western Railroad, and
nine miles west of Rife. Col.
The first stream of petroleum
sprouted from the retorts there
Dec. 80, and is still running. Soon
The first tank a of shale oil
ever to pass over the rails in the
United States will go from Ruli-
son TO the navy fuel oil testing
station at Philadelphia. The ex-
pertinent for which Congress ap-
propriated $4,000 in 1925 and
$4,000 additional in 1926 is be-
lieved a success.
NJ. j Gavin. government min
ing engineer, is the man behind
the job. He is in charge of oil
shale investigation for the U. S.
Bureau of Mines. With congress
sional backing assured, Gavin
went to Scotland in May, 1925.
There, oil shale has been worked
for years. He obtained the con-
struction and operation data OF
the Scotch retort and came back
America, as he says, TO beat
the thrifty Scotch at their own
game"
Beating the Scotch
We started building our
Scotch retort at Rulison after |

to build camps, power houses. and
run a 60U0-foot aerial cable tram

She moved quickly past the Indian

under the trees. Her heart was

would not confess it entirely to her

Lorna got up after she he'd passed
her hand over her eyes, and she took
the telegram, hesitating only a mo-
ment before opening it. It ran:

This was signed Emerson" and
had been dispatched from London.
Il want you to persuade your
mother to eat a little luncheon"
Mrs. Brown said in her gentle way.
Il have suggested an omelette and a
little fish, but she says that she is
not hungry. Will you see what you
can do, miss?"
Lorna said nothing, but turned
and walked quickly into the nouse
She paused an instant or two out
side her mothers door, and then
went in, putting on as bright and
as happy a look as she could pos
sibly %conjure in the circumstances.

Familiarity Breeds
TRUST

CONTRARY to the old adage, familiari-
ty with some things breeds trust. Adver-
tised products, for instance. The trade
names and frm-names you see regularly in
this paper, by reason of their very c%ontinu-
ity, kindle familiarity first and then conf
dence. These are the names that leap to
your lips in market-places.
Familiarity of this sort is q thing to be
cultivated. The more you know about an
advertiser and his wares, the more you are
able intelligently to invest the family outlay
for the necessities of life. The truth is self
evident.
Read the advertisements in this paper.
Read them as carefully as you would read
something you had to sign your name to.
They will save your shopping time and your
shopping dollars. Go into the stores with
your mind more than half made up as to
what you want and what you will have to
pay.

PARADE OF FASHION

One of the variations of the Eton crops this season is to have a lock of hair drawn from the back underneath the ear. It is not easy to train these back locks to lie perfectly flat, even with the aid of brilliantine, so the English miss has brought out some original earrings to help. Now the rebellious locks are passed through a ring small enough to hold it firmly, yet not to small to spoil the line of the hair.

ago resident Of washington. and

county politics, at wire fence
which marks the dividing line be-.
tween their respective properties,
near Rockville. few days ago,
Crown was arrested on charges Of
disorderly conduct and striking both
Mrs. Ricketts, and her daughter,
May.
In the police court here yesterday.
the assault charges were dismissed
but Crown was found guilty OF dis.
orderly conduct and was fined SIS
and costs BY Judge Samuel Riggs.
The testimony, however, disclosed,
in the opinion Of Judge Riggs, that
Mrs. Ricketts, had used language
that was long ways from choice
and that, therefore, she, too, was
guilty of disorderly conduct and
would have to pay fine similar to
that imposed on Crown.
