OIL MEN LAUGHING
At SUPERSTITION
WILDCAT DRILLING

NEW YORK, April %, P)-A
70-year quest by the American
petroleum industry TO find the
key to determine the location of
oil has laid a ghost or two.
The industry still believes toll
is where the drill finds it'll" but
has been compelled by the weight
Of evidence to reject the admoni-
ton to drill near churches and
cemeteries; keep away from saw
mills and swamps'
It passed into limbo along With
the idea that oil wells could be
located by forked sticks
The reason is that some in-
credulous, hard boiled engineers
with supreme faith III drills and
none in fables have brought in
gushers ia all sorts of places la
and around the United States.
Oil men still probe about Gene
teries. but for different reason.
Customary sites on rising ground
occasionally coincide with the an
ticlines or subterranean hills or
nonporous rock that trap oil and
gas, explains the American Petro-
leum Institute,
But the rest of the fable is
just that. Oil men are producing
oil from the midst Of swamps,
near the sites Of sawmills and
many other strange places.
Oil men now pay more atten-
ton to the subSurface than sur
face conditions III determining
whether a we'll shall be drilled.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-06-01

When the 1st Battalion, United
States Naval Reserves of the District
of Columbia, assemblies for its regular
drill tomorrow night it will find, &C.
cording to a slate which was being
prepared last week at the Washington
Navy Yard, a general shift of the
officer personnel, the most important of
which will be the designation of the
new commanding officer to succeed
Lieut.. Comdr. Finney Bascom Smith,
who relinquished the command because
his civilian employment requires his re-
moval from the city.
AS indicated in The Star several
weeks ago, the command will 60 to
Lieut.. Samuel w. Stinemetz, command
er of the Headquarters Division and
executive officer of the organization,
who has been acting in command since
the departure of Comdr. Smith. The
changes which 1t is planned to have
take place tomorrow have been on a
tentative slate for several weeks, but
it was decided not to make them until
after the annual inspection which the
organization has just completed. 1t
was pointed out that it was desirable
to leave all of the officers in their reg
ular commands until after they passed
| through the annual tests before a
board of Regular officers from the Navy
Department, and 1t has been generally
understood that the new details would
be announced shortly after the board
examined the work of the local citizen
sailors.

of officers seeking to get into the fleet
branch, and when vacancies occur they
are usually given to those officers who
show an active interest in the work of
the Reserve by voluntarily drilling while
on the non-pay status.
With the detail of Lieut.. Stinemetz to
command the organization, it will be the
first time since the World War that the
local battalion has been in command Of
one in that rank.
Lieut.. Stinemetz now is out of the
city and during his absence the organi-
cation is under the temporary command
of Lieut.. Richardson, the acting execu-
tive officer.
Ensign Robert E. Hess, $500 L street,
has been commissioned in the Volunteer
Reserve for general service in the ayi-
alton section.
Samuel W. Hardy, 214S c street, has
been commissioned a lieutenant, junior
garde, in the Volunteer Reserve, Judge
Advocates Department, for special serv-
ice.
Lieut.. Comdr. William I. Ogus, the
Farragut, has been commissioned in the
volunteers, Dental Corps, for special
service.

POSTURE OUTLINED
IN PROPER DRIVING
Noted Racing Pilot Suggests
Right Position for Hands
and Feet.
BY RALPH HEPBURN.
Noted Racing Pilot.

Proper driving posture is an impor-
tant thing frequently left unlearned.
Fatigue can be avoided by assuming q
comfortable position. This Is important
and should receive due consideration
from the student driver.
The position of the hands on the
steering wheel is perhaps one of the
things that rarely receives any partlcu-
lar attention. Good drivers declare that
holding the hands in position similar
to the hands on a clock when it is 20
minutes past 10 Is the most advantage
Gus position in so far as comfort and
possible emergency necessity are con-
cerned.
The position of the feet is another
matter that deserves consideration. IN
til driver is sure he can find the brake
pedal quickly without looking, his right
foot should be in the immediate vicin-
ity Of the brake pedal while driving.
Keep Foot on Clutch.
1t Is not good practice, however, to
keep the left foot on the clutch pedal,
as this causes slippage of the clutch
and premature and unnecessary wear
and tear.
In driving down steep hills, it is the
accepted practice to use second gear and
press the brake pedal only intermit-
tently. Constant use of the brakes on
long steep hills frequently causes them
to burn out on many of the popular
priced cars. The use of second gear.
however. acts as a brake and precludes
the necessity of constant pressure on the
brake pedal.
Motorists who form these habits
while they are learning to drive will
continue them naturally as they be-
come more expert. The result is fewer
repair bills increased safety and less
driving strain.
Travel at Steady Pace.
Before the advent of the full vision
automobile Of today, driving was strain
on the nervous system. However, the
modern automobile if properly driven
can be as comfortable and delightful
for the driver as 1t is for the rest Of the
passengers.
And speaking of nerves, you will find
that most racing drivers travel from
town 70 town at an even, steady pace
Of between Is and IS miles an hour,
which they can maintain hour in and
hour out, uphill and down dale, in traffic
and on open highways. This produces
greater safety, much less fatigue and
nerve strain, and, in the course of a
days journey much greater mileage
than the habit most people have of
driving in fits and spurts, so miles at
times then slowing down to 10 or II
when traffic forms an obstacle to speed.

D. c.. Naval Reserve

Lieut.. Harold z. Richardson, now in
command of the 1st Fleet Division, and
who has been acting as executive Of
f1cer, will, it is said tomorrow be or
dered to assume command of the Head
quarters Division and the duties of
executive officer of the battalion.
Lieut.. j. M. Fewell, serving W.:h the
LIST Fleet Division, will be ordered to
assume command, filling the vacancy
made by the transfer of Lieut.. Rich
ardson.
Lieut.. (Junior Grade) e. M. Graham
will be ordered relieved of duty with
the Sd Fleet Division and will report
to the commanding officer of the 1st
Fleet Division for duty.
These changes in the feet division
will make vacancy in the fleet per-
sonnet and it was indicated that this
will be filled by the transfer from the
volunteer to the fleet branch of Ensign
George D. Sullivan, who has been
drilling with the local organization for
several months. He will be assigned to
the Sd Fleet Division to fill the vacancy
created by the transfer of Graham.
The number of officers and men in
the fleet branch of the Reserve is
limited by the Navy Department. and
officers may be transferred from the
volunteer branch to the fleet section
only when there are vacancies in the
quotas. The feet officers and enlisted
men receive drill compensation, while
those In the volunteer branch do not
receive any pay, nor are they required
to drill. There Is usually waiting list

| ment program of the Washington Con-
ference. In the event the London naval
treaty Is ratified, there will no doubt
be a slight change made in the pro-
gram. Any reduction in the number of
cruisers built will represent gain Of
IA officers for each cruiser not built.
The postponement Of the battleship-
replacement program would add Al Of
ficers to the 1884 need, 81 to the 1885
, and 14l to the 1885, since such post
ponement without the decommissioning
of any battleships would continue the
Nays present ID ships.
On a four-appointment basis at the
Naval Academy, and with the present
limitation of 5,499 in officer strength,
shortage of 81 officers will develop in
! 1881 which will reach a maximum of
5ll in 1885, and thereafter will remain
at $50. Such great shortage will not
permit all units of the Navy to be OPP
Grated efficiently and plainly shows the
need of remedial measures in the mat
ter Of the allowed percentage of off,

partment indicate the promotion of the

WALkWAYS NEEDED
FOR PEDESTRIANS
Survey Shows That These Must
Be Built by Local
Communities.

Walkways Is a new word which is
justified in having a place in respected
dictionaries. Walkways is the name
applied by a South Carolina editor to
sidewalks along country roads.
Considerably more than half of those
killed and injured in automobile ac-
cidents are pedestrians Most pedes-
street intersections, yet records show
that the absence of walking space along
rural roads accounts for numerous
needless deaths and injuries.
Recently a prominent citizen of
Grand Rapids, Mich, was killed on a
state highway leading from that city
to the suburban district of Highland
Hills. A short time previously two
school children were mortally injured
road investigated and discovered that
rural sidewalk building was not within
the province of either the State or
county. so they have taken it upon
themselves to lay four-foot walkways on
both sides of the highway.
Near Detroit a state highway was
widened, and in the process stretches of
sidewalks were removed. Inasmuch as
this was in rural territory the walks
persons have been killed and so injured
since then. Plans are afoot to build
sidewalks.
Wayne County, Mich, the home
county Of Detroit, has been a pioneer
in rural sidewalk building. With an
appreciate mileage in service, seven
more miles will be built this year.
There is particular need for walk
ways in areas adjacent to schools. Most
accidents in which walking school
children are concerned take place be-
tween the hours Of and $50 pm
after schools are out and the trafic
rush begins. BY giving children q
specific place to walk the accident pos
Sibility is greatly reduced.
A survey shows that for the most
part States and counties are not en-
powered to build rural sidewalks. II
appears, then, that local communities
themselves must for the time being at
least, build their own.
