Gas Stored in Earth

= BIOLOGISTS and oil engineers have found
~ way of employing oil bearing sands when
the sand has become so low in yield of oil as
to make the production of oil through pump
ing of little value. AS it is natural gas under
heavy pressure which causes the wells to come
in as gushers, so the scientists have turned to
heavy air pressures to stimulate the flow of oil
after these natural pressures have gone. Air
forced into the oil sands through pipes espe-
cially placed force oil out of the ground much
as the gas would do it naturally
Another use CT the oil sands is for storage
purposes for natural gas. When the flow Of
gas is greater than the normal drain Of con-
sumption can handle, the gas is pumped back
down into the ground under pressure where
it is held in natural storage tanks until it Is
needed.

LegendS Lice in Mountains

THE Harz Mountains, best known in this
country the source Of singing canary
birds, stands in Germany as the dividing line
between the sc-called high and low Germans.
Around the mountains have been built many
of the legends and weird tales in which the
German folklore revels The mountains vary in
elevation from around 1000 feet to some z, 100,
with the Broken, highest peak in Central
Germany towering to elevation of 3,740 feet.
The range is 81 miles long and 20 miles wide,
topped by plateau which is reached by fairly
steep mountain Sides ..--
The legends which add glamour to the noun
tains and the birds which spread joy with their
singing are only small part of the real value
of the mountains, however for the Harz is, in
reality, rich in minerals. Silver lead, iron, cop
per, zinc, marble, alabaster and granite are
found in its mines and quarries, while the
forests yield much timber and. together with
the mining activities, give employment to many

For them drinking is sort of internal
masochism. A cocktail that fails to
loosen the filings of the teeth, scar the
esophagus and send the pylorus and the
duodenum into clinch is unworthy of
the name. If one swallow doesn't make
a somersault the swallower feels that he
has been cheated.
And this is the straw at which the
bootlegging gentry are clutching. Peo-

racketeer remarked when one of his
more literate henchmen read the Repub-
lican and Democratic platforms to him,
you can't change the personal habits of
an entire nation overnight. If the poll
ticians think they can force legalized
liquor on the American people they are
mistaken. 1t may be all right for the
working classes, who can take it or leave
it alone. But what about the great
masses of unemployed, to whom white

HE SpeakeaSy has done more for the

Cady Stanton, Carrie Chapman Gait and

days of the saloon a wife was obliged
to sit at home in the evening, moodily
drinking patent medicine with an alco-

while her husband enjoyed the convivi-

when she called to take her husband

But now, thanks to the Volstead act,
she can stand up at the bar, shoulder

as if she were man. More freely, in
fact, because she seldom pays for her

Gold Production off

DESPITE the demand for gold, Montana mines
- produced around $500 less ounces of the
precious metal in 1881 than in $780, This
was due. of course, to the fact that much Of
the gold and silver produced was by-product
lower last year.
Altogether the State turned out 4O,112 ounces
of gold 1929 1877 ounces of silver, 84,555, ,735

Kitchen, and Cicero is so quiet
you can hear a pineapple drop.
The little trimmed shops that dot
the side streets are cordial in name only.
GOrillaS take their victims for trolley
rides to save the cost of gasoline.
Over the underworld looms the shadow
OF the coming elections. The national
conventions in June rocked it to its dank
foundations, and now its denizens are
merely sitting tight waiting for the
knockout in November Menaced by the
double threat of resubmiSsion and repeal,
their chances of maintaining the jolly
old status quo look slim.
Certain optimiStS in the ranks of the
racketeers assert that the term "resub-
mission" applies not to the eighteenth
amendment, but to the American peo-
pie; that after the election is over and
the mirage of a legalized oasis has faded,
the citizens of this republic will again
submit to prohibition with all their old
time acquiescence. AS for repeal, they
tell themselves, consolingly, there's no
use worrying about that until frankie
and Johnny carry Kansas possibility
which seems comfortably remote at the
present time But they worry just the
same.
One advantage which the racketeerS
have over their opponents is the fact
that prohibition has been in force for
more than decade. Custom, precedent
and all the reactionary elements of So
ciety are on their side Since 1920 a
generation of young people has grown
up in utter ignorance of the mellowneSs

Rev. Mildew, who, while packing his
household goods preparatory to moving
into the new parsonage, came across a
forgotten bottle OF whisky in the medi-
cine cabinet. Dear me! This must

unused the amiable old clergyman as he
handed it to the moving man. do you
