ASSA|[ANT Of TWO
WOMEN IS HUNTED
One Victim SIugged and Rob-
bed While Sitting in :,
Parked Auto.

Although detectives and police spent
the night securing the city. they had
been unable today to apprehend any sus-
poets in the assault and robbery last
night of Mrs. Anna M. Thomas, 80
years old, TIC L street southeast, and
the assault of Ruth Koontz, "A years
old, 80 M street.
Mrs. Thomas was sitting outside OF
the Post Office in an automobile while
her husband, William l.. Thomas, an
attorney. went in to mail money order.
Robert l.. Williams, colored, porter en-
ploved by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
noticed Mrs. Thomas slumped down in
the seat of the car. Williams inveStl-
- gated and found her head and face
were covered with blood. She was un-
conscious.
Williams summoned policeman and,
with the aid of Thomas, they carried
her to the emergency room at Union
Station. where she was treated Tor IN
dicated fractures of the skull and jaw
and the loss of several teeth.
Taken to Hospital.
Later Mrs. Thomas was taken to
Sibley Hospital accompanied by her
family physician She is expected TO
recover.
A search of the auto revealed that Mrs.
Thomas had been beaten with brick,
which was found in the tonneau. The
thief had taken her pocketbook, con-
tanning Sl45 in cash, pass book of the
Metropolitan Building and Loan ASSo-
citation and a gold mesh bracelet with a
diamond clasp.
Although the attack took place at
$50 o'clock in what is ordinarily a
crowded section, there were no witnesses
Thomas told police he saw a colored
man lettering near the place where he
stopped. A fruit vender also saw the
man and furnished description.
Attacked on Street.
Mrs Thomas has not yet sufficiently
recovered to give an account of what
occurred.
The attack on Mrs. Koontz was made
q half hour later. She told police she
was walking at First and NJ streets
when a colored man struck her on the
head Mrs. Koontz screamed and the
man ran south on First street A motor
ist took her to Sibley Hospital, where
six stitches were required to close a
wound on the left ear.
Because of similarity of the cases
police believe the same man attacked
both women.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON. September 25.-Dr. Gustav
Egloff, technical director of the Univer-
sal Oil Products Co. of Chicago, told the
World Power Conference today that the
present coal fields alone would supply
enough gasoline to operate the 10000 900
automobiles now in use for $500 years
There is enough shale oil to operate
these automobiles for 400 years. he said
AS for crude oil, DR.. Egloff added: THE
total amount is assuredly of staggering
volume. Biologists state that oil dis
covery is a possibility in 100000 600
acres in the United States alone, or Sc
per cent of it's total land area. The
contrast of this huge territory with the
100000 acres producing oil at present
makes certain that new fields will be
continually discovered.

tial oil production of the United States

WHITTIER SCHOOL TO GET
BUDGET CONSIDERATION
Director Lord Tells Manor Park
Association That Bureau Will
Confer on Request.

Although the project was not included
in the original District of Columbia
budget, which has been pared down by
the District Commissioners $2,5l5,924
from its first form, the proposed en-
largement of the Whittier School, at
Fifth and Sheridan streets, from an
3 to a 16 room building, will be con-
sidered by the Bureau of the Budget,
it was announced today by the Manor
Park Citizens Association.
In letter to the association, Director
Lord of the bureau. acknowledging the
request of the organization, said: This
matter will be given careful considera-
ton in connection with our study of
the District of Columbia estimates for
the fiscal year 1922, now pending in

probably is true even in great measure
for many other countries of the world
where oil exploration has been less thor

source of gasoline for at least CEN

DR.. Egloff showed how gasoline could
be obtained by the cracking process
from fish, vegetable and peat oils, wood,

Furthermore, the expense is a very
minor item, Assuming that such an
insurance policy as the bill calls for
would cast about $50 per year. this
would mean a charge against the indi-
vidual motorisi of $3.50 per month, the
equivalent OF 1912 gallons Of gaSoline

The proposal for the weight tax is

pointed out, practically all States still
retain the personal tax on automotive
vehicles.
The gas tax went into effect here
