Oil Boring Has TORY Spot

n the operation Of oil wells period usually
develops when the wen is not good enough,
and yet Is too good When it has reached q
point where the natural now is too weak through
lack of pressure below the ground to produce
oil at an efficient rate. period Of real worry
is encountered
Ordinarily, while the flow is too light. n
still is too strong to permit the employment
OF pumps Of the p1unger type It is at this
time that new method is being attempted, the
gas-lift method, Of bringing the oil UP. Some
success has been attained in forcing gas under
pressure down into the ground either through
concentric or parallel pipe. The pressure OF
the gas, Stimulating the natural gas pressure,
throws the oil up with something like the
origional vigor. The method in question how
ever, Is stin far from perfected, as almost every
well presents . problem of its own and no
standard can be set for the operation of gas

Paris, Sept. 16 (P>-Henry Ford expects to manufacture automobiles in France, abandoning his old sys- tenn of assembly here. and he may possibly extend the new policy to all of Europe.
 In an interview the automobile magnate said he expected to build a plant in France, although as yet nothing has been decided
 T shall use the same model car as in America" he said, and shall pay the same wages, exceptionally, as in Detroit. I certainly think the French need higher wages when I see men making dollar and 12 cents day"
 MT. Ford's hearers were startled with an expression of his theory that civilization soon will demand that manufacturing be put on a basis of ten months a year.
 The only way to succeed in any business" he concluded. lis to give people what they want, and we think we know what people want in the way of motor cars"

 Judges Behind Curtain
 The singers were announced by numbers only, and the audience which completely filled the chapel matched it's wits with those of the judges in concluding which were en- titled to the honors. The judges sat behind drawn curtains on the stage, while the singers were seen as we'll as heard by the audience.
 The judges, therefore, based their calculatlonS entirely Gpon the voices, vocal talent counting most in their deliberations. Male singers in the order of their appearance were: Donald McNa- mara, Walter Paluch Joseph Pot sky, Clarence Hultgren. Edward Klingberg, Harry Woodruff and Peter Javin.

 Some of the singers competing in the local addition last night had nev- CT taken a lesson and others had studied under tutors for years. The former were given an opportunity to sing in public along with the others, and the general impression at the addition was that there is great deal of vocal talent in New Britain. It was evident to the audience that the hearts of all the singers were in their work. and as some of them sang beloved songs, though they l may have been simple folk songs, they were quite carried away with their emotions.
 President Herbert Woods of the Musical club voiced the opinion of all having a hand in the addition that it was one of the most gratify- ing events given under the clubs auspices in years, and that it un- earthed hitherto unsuspected vocal | talent.
