or reason is a fair definition Of a
crazy quilt. They were easy to make.
SO were the simple postcard"
quilts.
However, not every gutter could
design or even take a hand in the
making of fancy quilt. Their
lashioning required genuine skill
and patience on the part Of ex-
perts. Instead Of odds and ends
from the scrap bag, the basic mate
rails for fancy quilts were party
dresses, wedding gowns, gay waist
coats, broad cravats, or other arti-
Giles of fine apparel which had out
lived their usefulness. These were
cut up into the desired sizes and
shapes for a definite pattern.
Quilts Were Named
Descriptive names of some OF
these fancy quilts were Mariners
Compass, Folded Love Letter, In
dian Arrow, Double Irish Cross,
Toad in Puddle, Mexican Star,
Flower Pot and Lovers Ramble
Many of them were long labors of
love. They represented the means
whereby women of the costly cali
CO.. era were able to express their
love for beautiful things. Today
women can compete with men in all
artistic endeavors, but once fancy
quilt was about the highest express
sion of feminine art.

HONESDALE, Pa, June 1.--CitizenS
OF Honesdale are planning q celebra-
ton here on August 8, 8 and 10 to COM
memorate the centennial of the first
successful operation Of steam driven
locomotive on the Western Hemisphere
The locomotive was the Stourbridge
Lion. It was built In England and
shipped to this country in February,
1929, as the property Of the Delaware
81 Hudson Canal Co., and on August
8 It was put into operation on three
mile stretch Of track near the scene
Of the company's operations at Homes
dale.
The first trial run Of the locomotive
demonstrated conclusively that steam
transportation was practical and that
the Lion would operate, but officials
of the company found that the wooden
rails, covered with q thin strip Of iron,
could not stand heavy duty and the
Lion was never used for practical work
After q second trial the Lion was re-
moved from the rails and stored until
1849, when 1t was partly dismantled
and It's boiler used in the company's
shop at Carbondale I" Forty years
later it became the property of the firm
Of Lindsay & Early, in Carbonate, and
they deposited 1t in the Smithsonian
Institution, in Washington. Several
other parts of the locomotive have been
collected and 1t is now partly restored
At the celebration in August nonu-
nnent to the locomotive will be dedicated
and q transportation parade, depicting
all modes of travel from the pioneer
settlers OK carts TO aircraft, will be
held. The ceremonies will be under
the direction Of the Honesdale Cham
Der of Commerce.

tinues satisfactory. His physicians Wis

ordinary gum boil might do and that
1t continues to drain naturally.
Thanksgiving services for the recovery
of the King scheduled for June 16, have
been indefinitely postponed because
although no complications were looked
for, recovery of his majesty will prob.
ably require some time It was stated

CRUDE OIL SHOWS
PRODUCTION GAIN
Daily Average for April e.
$4,000 Barrels, II Per
Cent Over 1923.

Production of crude petroleum in the
United States continues to increase, de-
spite efforts in some quarters to con-
troll it, statistics made public today by
the Bureau of Mines, Department of
Commerce, reveal. Output in April
reached a total of 80,110,000 barrels or
daily average of 2,670,000. This was
a slight increase over the average in
March, and an increase of IL per cent
over April, 1928.
While Oklahoma showed small in
crease in daily average production over
March, both Texas and California fell
off slightly. Production in Kansas in
creased sharply. Output in the Texas
Gulf Coast area increased due to deeper
drilling and extensions which have met
with considerable success. Daily average
production in Texas, however. fell of
to some extent as the increase in out
put of the Salt Flat Field was insufh-
cient to balance the decline In West
Texas.
California Stock Increases.
Crude petroleum stocks east of Cali
fornia increased over 100000 barrels
in April, compared with an increase OF
$4,000 in March. This increase was
entirely in refinery stocks, however,
tank-farm stocks decreasing for the
first time since November. 1928. Stocks
of light crude in California continued
to increase, but stocks of heavy crude
and fuel oil fell on slightly.
Stocks of all oils increased 6,087, 600
barrels during April and reached a new
high level of 649, 900 barrels, over
half of this increase being in gas oil
and fuel stocks held east Of California.
New High in Refined.
A new high level was reached II
April in refined products, the daily av-
erage run to stills of crude petroleum
amounting to 1852, 900 barrels, an In
crease over March, 1929, of 8 per cent,
and over April, 1928, of 10 per cent.
Daily average gasoline production in
April amounted to 1,155 900 barrels, also
a new record, an increase over April
1928, Of is per cent being attained
Gasoline imports were $4,000 barrels
the highest since october, 1926.

has come to the fore as a producer of
diamonds, the yield growing from about
$4,000 karats in 1918 to more than
100000 karats in 1926 These re-
suits have been attained largely by the
installation of improved machinery and
the adaptation of better methods of
mining. It must be noted. however.
that the Kongo field is not to be COM

or the size and quality Of the stones.
