PROGRESS OF DRILLING TO DATE SATISFACTORY; CREW
 IS OPTIMISTIC
(By Special Correspondent

Drilling at the Peterson Oil Asso- ciated well, located on Section 28, Tp. 20, N. R. 5 W., a half mile east of the |Chickaloon coal spur and about two miles from Chickaloon station is pro- gressing favorably as could be ex- pected in the formation now being penetrated. At a depth of approoxi- mately $50 feet the drill encountered fractured and faulted carbonaceous shale and ravelly ground, necessitat- ing stringing casing and under-ream- ing before proceeding with further drilling. Considerable delay has been experienced this summer by break ing of two pars and fishing job when the string of tools dropped to the bottom of the hole. Additional parts were received on September l, which will permit of more rapid progress for the remainder of the season. Owing to the shallow depth of hole there is nothing to indicate the presence of oil, despite many speculative reports. The drill is now in carbonaceous shale, having passed through several coal seams. Nothing will be known of the value of the structure for oli until the drill has passed the 1000 foot point, where a diamond drill hole, Sunk by the Bureau of Mines several years ago, was abandoned. This hole produced considerable gas, which also is present in the hole now being drilled for oil Samples of the gas have been taken by J. J. Corey of the Bureau of Mines and forwarded for analysis to determine if it is ethane or butane gas, the former being hydre- carbon gas indicating oil. MT. Peter son and his drilling crew are well satisfied with results thus far, and are optimistic of striking oil at the proper horizon. Surface indications in the structure point to this horizon being below the 2,OOO foot point.

WOLVES ARE NUMEROUS

Oscar Vogle, who has trapped from the province of Alberta, Canada, to the Old Man Lake country, east of Chickaloon and beyond the Nelchina country, and who is now engaged in packing in his winters supplies, brought in the paw and scalp of a monster black wolf on recent trip out. Vogle reports to The Gateway the wolves are numerous at the head of the Chickaloon river and in the caribou country beyond.

ROAD TESTS MADE
OF MOTOR LAMPS
DepressibIe- Headlight
Found Often to Defeat
Own Purpose.

That the use of depresible- beam
headlight on wet asphalt or concrete
road surfaces will defeat it's own pur
pose by rejecting the light into the
air far above the horizontal height of
the headlamp, was the assertion of r.
E. Carlson and w. S. Hadaway of the
Edison Lamp Works of the General
Electric Co, at the Summer meeting
Of the Society of Automotive Engi-
neers. This assertion was based on
the results of laboratory and road
tests conducted with various types of
lamps.
When the beam is depressed, it was
found, the apparent intensity is great
ly increased, but this intensity eX-
tends far above the horizontal height
Of the headlamp.
Non.Symmetrical Beams Effect.
With a non. symmetrical beam, pro-
ranged so that the beam is directed
straight ahead from one filament, but
can be shifted to the right by switch
ing to the other filament, very little
light is projected into the region In
which the eyes of an approaching
driver would be located. This effect,
it was said. can be produced by use
of an auxiliary driving light aimed
to the right of the axis of the car
When two facing cars both used
the upper beam of a depressible-b beam
headlamp on wet asphalt road a
target three feet from one car and
three feet above the road was visible
at maximum distance OF 81 feet.
With both cars using the non-symmet-
rical beam aimed to the right, the
target was visible at 159 feet, and
when placed near the righhand curb
was visible at 3l3 feet.
Conclusions Outlined.
Conclusions deduced from the tests
are that wet road surfaces change the
light distribution materially, resulting
in greater glare; more light intensity
is required to reveal an object on a
wet road due to interference with WIS.,
ion and change in light distributions;
increasing the light intensity in a
symmetrical system does lot improve
visibility; a on-symmetrical system
in which the high-intensity portion
OF the beam is directed to the right of
the car axis reduces glare and allows
better vision; use of two 21candle-
power lamps does not give sufficient
light-fux for all requirements; use of
a widespread low intensity beam near
the car in combination with a relative
ly narrow comfortable high-intensity
driving beam has advantages for both
dry and wet roads.
No reason is known why a fiXed-fo-
Gus design should not be used with a
somewhat longer focal length than at
present, with suitable reflectors or
lenses for the low-intensity beam:
and the use of auxiliary driving lights
with the beam directed to the right
should be encouraged

ARRESTS REDUCED
BY new SPEED LIMIT
Maryland Violations Decrease by
so Per Cent as Result of 40
Mile Highway Law.

AS a result of the new speed limit
of 40 miles an hour in Maryland. the
number of arrests for speed violations
has been reduced at least so per cent,
according to the State police and men,
bers Of the office of +. Austin Baugh-
man, commissioner of motor vehicles.
1t was asserted that many smaller
automobiles could not attain the speed
of 40 miles an hour without severely
shaking and Earring their occupants.
Unless in a hurry, the average opera
tor of the smaller cars will not drive
at the speed limit, 1t was said.
1t was pointed out that for years
the speed limit in Maryland was 35
miles an hour and many drivers were
not accustomed to exceed that limit.
These operator continue unconscious
ly to accelerate their motors to IS
miles an hour and keep them to that
point.
The majority of arrests for speeding
are made at night, when the greater
part of the traffic is off the roads, it
was said. John N. Mackall, chairman
Of the State Roads Commission, spon-
sored the new speed measure.

UNIFORM PRACTICE
IN FLEETS SOUGHT
Subcommittee of Engineering
Group Makes Study of
Various Differences.

Modifica ton of existing laws and
establishment of sound and uniform
measures governing the operation OF
motor truck and motor coach fleets Is
the present task Of subcommittee of
the committee on operation and main
tenance of the Society of Automotive
Engineers. Although reasonable
degree Of similarity among the vari-
Gus regulations has been brought
about in recent years, many differ
ences still exist in the regulations of
the various States and municipalities,
it is pointed out.
AS an example Is cited the wide
variation in the requirements as to
location and color of motor coach
marking lights. A number Of States
also REQUIRE the registration of the en-
CINE number in connection with the
registration of the chassis, which
makes it difficult to interchange en-
gines between vehicles in a fleet as
often as may be required in fleet MAIN
tenance, according to the findings of
this committee.
1t is a common practice among OPP
orators of large motor fleets, the COM
mittee points out, to have reserve en-.
gnes that may be quickly substituted
in a vehicle for an engine that needs
overhauling or repairing. AS the regu-
lations stand in some States. however,
this is illegal unless permission Is OBJ
tanned to change the engine and noti-
fication of such change has been
given.
Another subcommittee Of the opera
ton and maintenance committee Is
working on list of terms that are
used in fleet operation and mainte-
nance, with the object of compiling a
standard list of terms and their defini-
tons.
An accounting subcommittee has
undertaken a study of accounting sys-
TENS used by fleet operators with a
view to the possibility of preparing a
complete accounting system that may
become standard and make possible
the comparison of fleet costs in all
parts of the country item by item.
