NEW TEXAS OIL
 FIELD LARGEST
 POOL IN U. s,
Immense Size and PrOduc. ton Still Not Realized
 By Industry

NEW TEXAS
 Dallas, Tex. (UP)-The new East Texas oil field Is so vast that six of the largest pools in the United States could be superim- posed upon 1t.
 A study of the geology and eco homie importance of the field re- veais that its immense size, the consistent results of drilling, and its effect' upon the industry have not yet been realized by the most experienced and far-sighted oil men. .4J
 A map of the field shows that the Lathrop pool Is so large that the Hobbs pool of New Mexico. heretofore considered of immense proportions, could be tucked into 1t, with plenty of room left over for the Oklahoma City and Semin- ole pools. ..
 Immense Size
 The long, narrow Kettleman Hills, Cal, field would stretch It's length from the lower reaches of the Joiner pool of Rusk county and extend through the KilgOre pool into southern Gregg county. There would be plenty of room left to stow away the aYtes and Hendricks pools of West Texas.
 Geologists have learned that this tremndous oil-producing area thousa nds. even millions of years ago was a huge sen. The earth's vonstant mutations left 1t high and dry. bearing the remains of tril- Hons of minute shellfish.
 It Is the bodies of these shellfsh lying at an approximate depth of $500 feet that have turned into oil.
 WOOIbinc Sand
 oil comes from what geologists know as Woodbine sand. in this particular field. The fact that this sand occurs at almost the same deapth in an parts of the held. has contributed In a large measure to the sensational exploitation, as drilling costs are thus considerably lower.

intendent of mails and the inquiry and claims office will also be locat- cd on the second floor.
 For the convenience of the pulp lie sub-station will be esta blished next week on Grand street. An official notice will be made public by Postmaster A. N. Colgrove.
 Notwithstanding the fact that moving is a rare experience for Uncle Sam's postal employees there will be no interruption in the col- lection and dispatching of mail. Patrons of the office. will find their boxes containing their mail when they call at the Scoyill street address Monday morning. Carriers of course will "carry on''' just as if moving was a daily in- cident in their lives.
 No word has yet been received concerning the plans of the gov ernment about raging the old post office building and starting exca- yations for the new building ad- joining the present site.
