LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. Is
introduced recently at the famous
Signal Hill oil fields near Los Ang-

perts TO be worth uncountable MIL

Solves Drilling Problems
A typical instance Of its worth
was shown recently, the circum-
stances Of which were as follows:
Along the edge of the Signal Hill
fault. numerous wells have been
sunk with full confidence on the
rich reservoir whose location is
known with certainty. A certain
hole would come IN" a heavy pro-
ducing we'll, while another, not a
hundred feet distant. would yield
only brine, and the next, perhaps
so feet away. would be a typical
dry hole" In course Of time the
non-producing holes were abandon
ed and have stood untouched Tor
years.
"A. @. Mccoy, owner Of the came
"a. and w. j. Peterson Of Los An
geles, the designer, knowing what
their unusual instrument could &C
complish. undertook TO survey one
of the useless holes. From the pic
lures thus obtained they discovered
that about half way 70 pay sand,
the drill had struck a rocky OBJ
struction and the hole had gone
askew. The bottom of the shaft
was 1,400 feet distant from the
point where the drill entered the
earth's crust. and in the opposite
direction from the underground res
ervoir whose location vas known.
Abandoned Leases i'm Demand
The rest was simple. Studying the
pictures made by the camera, the
owners OF the well aScertained ex-
actly at what depth the hole went
astray, placed a concrete bridge
at that point, installed a whip
stock and redrilled the shaft to-
ward the pay sand. The well, form
erly useless. and sunk at terrific
cost, Is now clearing a monthly
profit of about $4,000. News Of the
unusual feat spread. and there fol-
lowed a mad scramble 70 rebuy

A SUCCESSFUL LIFE ENDS.

. The death of Miller Huggins, the great manager of the New York American League basepaH Oeaii' at this time will nge the end of the baseball year ard the 1929 World Series with sadness. Huggns was wonderful baseball manager. Under his lead- ership the Yankees developed into of the great est baseball teams the country has ever produced. He has left record that will be hard to match. Six times in eight years his team won the American League pennant and three times it won the World Series and championship. In the last two World Series contests his team won four straight games in each.
 The outstanding characteristic of Huggnss lead- ership in baseball was his aggressiveness He be- lieved in winning victory by fierce attack His base ball team was always strong on the offensive. He was never so happy as when Ruth and Gehrig were in true sluggng form and driving in runs Apparently he never begrudged his opponents few runs if he could make more of them. He was a fighter but he always fought square and clean.
 Huggins had played second base in the major leagues for sixteen years before he came to the Yankees He made good a player. But it was as a manager that he shined. He chose baseball as a life work when he a boy and he followed 1t intellgently enthusiastically and successfully until the end. He had accumulated competence ir the worlds goods, and it is a matter of sincere regret to all lovers of clean sport that he was not permitted to live longer in the enjoyment of his honors and wealth.

ARABS WERE AGGRESSORS.

Notwithstanding the spacious palaver of the Arabs and the special pleading in their behalf, the fact has been well established that they have been the aggressors in the racial and religious rioting that has cost many lives in the Holy Lands The Jews have been the defensive in the country where their cradled. The Arabs have played the parts of fanatics and intolerants.
 Defenders of the Arabs say that 87 per cent of the inhabitants of Palestine Arabs and that they have right to control things. However that may be, there is such majority of Arabs in Jerusalem. But even if there were a majority of Arabs that would give them no right to interfere with the religious worship of the Jews
 However, the nations have guaranteed the rights of the Jews in Jerusalem, and they will protect them in the exercise of those rights. They cannot do less in the name of civilization. Peace will be established if it has not been already and it will be maintained matter what the cost. Of course that will not restore the lives of those who have been killed but it will mean that the dead have not died in vain.

smile of his that Barbara remem- bered so well.
 I'm sorry" she said lamely.
 TO herself she was saying, 'This cant be real. This can't possibly be real. It's absurd, Ray and me --and we're talking as though we were strangers" Any special tune you'd like to request I remember you used to be crazy about Sleepy Time Gal or That Certain Party" Ills expression was serious, but there was a bantering tone in his voice, and Barbara, hearing it, sud- denly bit her lip. He seemed to De purposely making fun of her; trying to hurt her as he had done in the past.
 She saw that he did not intend to refer to the past; that he regarded everything between them as fin- ished But the girl felt that she could not leave it at that. Some how, she must make him clear up the mystery that hung like a cloud over those last few years.
 I'd like to talk to you some time, Ray"
 He did not answer for moment, and when he did, the mocking sm..e had left his face. Whats the use, Barbara? Isn't 1t wisest to leave things as they are?"
 The girl shook her head and one little bronze-shod toe nervously traced a pattern on the deck.
 Not for me, Ray. There's so much l don't understand. Meet me somewhere after you're through playing tonight"
 He hesitated. Suddenly the whole situation appeared to him decided ! ly ironical.
 Odd that Barbara Landon, with more money than she knew how to spend, the magnet for every for eigner with title for sale. should be asking a favor of him.
 "Of course, Barbara. I'll meet you if you wish. But. honestly, I don't see much sense in it. It'll be like a mad journey to the moon for both of us."

SWIMMING IN THE AIR By Mary Graham Bonner


 The little black clock had turned the time ahead so far that John and Peggy were now visiting a hotel in the air Now he arranged with the hotel manager that both the children could take swim.
 In fact, he had suits all ready for them.
 The swimming pool was splendid. It was decorated with cloud pie lures and fairy tales had evidently been written about some of these clouds, for the pictures showed beautiful cloud castles, cloud turrets, cloud towers, cloud queens and princes and princesses.
 The water itself was delightful John and Peggy swan on top of the water and John sWam two strokes under the water. Other guests at the air hotel came in swimming, too. The little black clock had begged to be excused. Even though he had such magic powers he said he was afraid of the water-it might, he felt, be bad for him.
 After the swim, the children wan dered all through the hotel.
 They stopped and had some very pleasant ice cream, though they did not know just what it's flavor was. And in another room of the hotel they heard music and saw people dancing.
 "This is a two-weeks hotel" the little black clock said. You could stay here for that length of time if you wished. Then it goes down to the earth to get fitted up again. But maybe you'd better see one of the hotels that stays up for four weeks Peggy would like it. There is a marvellous toy room in it."
 "Yes, let's see it. You wouldn't mind, would you, John?"
 That would be perfectly all right" John said. Perfectly all right"
 Very well, then-tomorrow eve ningl Don't forget to meet mel said the little black clock.
 "As if we'd forget!" the children both said.

unique State enterprise is outlined by bue- tin which Virginia has just published through her State Commission Conservation and Develop ment and is now distributing broadcast to motor ists. For more than two years this commission directed by the historian H. J. Eckenrode, has been placing historical markers Virginia roads with a thoroughness and nowhere else approached The Old Dominion has than three centuries of history. To nurture State pride to educate the children of the State, to attract and interest tour sts, every place of historical note is being sought out and pacarded in metal
 This in itself would be valuable; but the interest of the inscriptions is greatly increased by the fact that they arranged to tell consecutive stories The bulletin in question, a Key to Inscriptions, ,, makes the story legibe at a glance. Starting from Richmond eastward. for example the traveller to WilliamSburg-on "W" SerieS-can trace the ebb and flow of the lines of battle as McCleans armies were pushed back from the Confederate capital in the Seven Days of 1862. First he is at Fair Oaks where stood McCellans farthest line and where the Confederates stormed the ntrenchments on May 31, 1862 little farther and he is at Seven Pines scene of the battle of June l. Farther still and he reaches McClelan's third line of defense "A few more miles, and he is where Mcclellan cross ed the Chckahominy. In similar wise the ob- servant traveller can follow the westward thrust of Icolonal migration; the movements of Cornwallis Lafayette and Washington in the Revolution; and all the other Virginia campaigns of the Civil War
 This is an undertaking which should bring Vir- ginia tangible return of value and intangible rewards worth in the long run very much more There are other States of the Union where hs- tory has followed well-defined lines and where if could similarly be marked for the benefit of the curious traveller

DARROW KEEPS FAITH WITH
 HIMSELF.

Clarence Darrow, like Cappy Ricks retired many times, but unlike Cappy he seems finally to have retired for good and all This thought was suggested by the circumstance that were asked to decide an argument as to whether Darrow were dead or alive. The first thought that he was alive for we could not recall his death. Then came the thought that had not heard of him for so long that he must be dead After sleeping on the question it came clearly to memory that sometime ago he announced his definite and final retire ment from the practice of law. The fact that he has not been in the melght of late simply means that he has kept faith with himself and remained retired. When he retired MT. Darrow said that he would devote the rest of his life to leisure and, when in the mood, to writing

"Of course It's not a pose. Bar bara's the most spontaneous per- son I know. Sometimes she's a wild kid of 16 and at others she's older than I am. But whatever she is, she's natural"
 Barbara obeyed an uncontrol- liable impulse when she left Ralph Henderson stranded in the middle dle of the dance floor. One mo- ment she was dancing down the deck, and the next moment glanc- ing idly towards the orchestra, she found herself staring into the face of Ray Lowther.
 She thought at first she must be It could not possibly be Ray Lowther, the one-time stroke of the Yale crew. the heir to oil millions.
 She looked again and remained staring this time. Most certainly it was Ray. There could be no mistaking his tall lean figure that had hardly a spare ounce of flesh upon it, nor his face that might have been handsome had 1t not been for a slightly flattened nose and the overlarge mouth that took a croked twist when he smiled.
 The young saxophonist did not see her coming until she was al- most at his elbow, and when he did, he merely said in the most natural voice in the world.
 Hello, Barbara"
 His tone nonplussed her. It would seem as though they were mere acquaintances; as though the old relationship had never existed.
 T didn't know you were on board" she said at last, feeling very small and very foolish, which was a new experience for Barbara.
 NO? That's not surprising; I went down with the flu directly we sailed and tonight is my first professional or other wise"
 And he smiled that odd twisted
