alone-Barbar's Hill--92 holes have been drilled
through the overhanging salt.
Frequently the bits were left swinging in the
caverns dissolved away by water and mud But
the oil is known to be there and already
preparations are being made to slant through
solid rock and hard earth around the sides,
thus missing the salt entirely.
In Texas and elsewhere we see strange
mixture Of modern science and ancient divin-
ing rods at work finding oil where, few years
ago. it was thought not to exist.
With counterparts Of witch sticks" which
Cicero and Tacitus centuries ago mentioned
a way to see under the earth, geologists now
look deep beneath the surface. Artificial earth
quake waves measured by seismographs torsion
balances magnetic dip needles and instruments
measuring electrical resistance may locate CI,
but the slanting devices produce it in case
some natural obstacle interferes
Differences in resistance tell them often
where oil occurs. 1t may be beneath river
or a mountain, or under a salt dome. DR..
Ludger Mintrop, an eminent German geophysi-
cist brought the method to the United States
several years ago and recently through it i'm
mensey valuable new oil sources have been
found
Dr. Mintrop began the manufacture OF
earthquakes with dynamite. As the vibrations
faced down and through solid earth assistants
plotted from their stations, spread fanlike
around the point Of explosion, the location,
depth shape and inclination of buried geological
structures

QUICKLY the stand is lowered down the
hole until the upper bracket reaches the
ground level. Again the downstairs" man
fixes his instrument to the bracket, sights on
the tree, notes in a book tine angle and di-
rection the pipe has turned-i any-and calls
for another stand to be screwed in place. Fifty
times they repeat the procedure.
More than half mile below sunlight the
knuekle joint now swings in the hole, ready
to perform a task impossible year ago.
But what is happening down there?
Unfortunately we cannot carry you down an
oil well-but We rely on Mr.. Eastman,
whose scientific instruments bring up precise
pictures of feats of magic being performed
down below, for an explanation.
Unless the surveyors are accurate" he ex-
plains as the rig shakes under the heavy load,

eating the upstairs" and downstairs men
FIRST face the knuckle joint whipstock
in the direction the well is to take. Then
they run in each section of pipe by checking
on the same reference point they determine
in which direction and how far the lowest
stand has turned by the time they have run in
so stands.
1T then is a simple matter to apply the cor
rection and turn the entire string Of drill pipe
until the detecting instrument faces In the
proper direction.
The knuckle joint being fitted with
spring. forces the pipe at that point against
the side of the hole. This throws the diamond
drill against the opposide side. Thus when the
pipe begins TO turn, the spring and tremen-
dous weight of the pipe above forces the drill
to bite its way out the side Of the hole. That
Simple
Under some conditions the removable whip
stock is the answer. The whipstock is a defect
ing wedge fitted with collar which is smaller
than the bit, but slightly larger than the drill
pipe"
I INTIL Mr. Eastman brought out this in
~ vention, the expensive whipstockS were left
permanently in the holes.
When ready to slant wen with this de-
vice, the crew plugs the hole with concrete,
then lowers the whipstock suspended from the

At no point during the long descent were
the drillers lost Through photographs they
knew every 100 feet exactly where the drill
swung how far and in what direction the
hole was being drilled off vertical
Similar miracles are being wrought around
the world with oil wells. Expert surveyors are
shooting benders" as they burrow at an angle
under mountains, rivers, swamps and even the
ocean. They open window through
the wall of hole at any depth and send their
drill off at any angle sometimes drifting a
potential well as far as a mile.
With removable whipstockS, knucklejoints
which bend in the middle and bore through
steel, concrete and rock to open new routes,
and marvelously precise cameras which record
both the angle and direction the holes are
taking, drillerS today can overcome any barriers
set up by nature and find oil no matter where
it may exist.
To the world this means that vast new fields
are being opened under the famous salt domeS
of Texas, beneath the Pacific Ocean under the
broad Louisiana marshes below tropical rivers,
beneath Persian mountains

what time was this?" McNeal

what time was this?" McNeal
1roke in.
About 1870 I think. Louise and
I were going to look at hats and
then have lunch later. Louise was to
meet me at 11:15 but know I'd
waited at least ten minutes before I
went into the hotel"
She hesitated again. Il saw the
girls face plainly" she went on.
you see I was rather surprised.
I Just stood for a moment and
watched them. Tracy was talking
and the girl wasn't any one I'd
ever seen before. She had on a
green suit with some black fur on
it and a green hat. I noticed that
her hair was light and that she
was pretty. For a minute
thought Tracy would be sure to
turn around and then he'd intro
duce me. But he didn't turn. He
went right on talking and then the
girl said something well,
was rather embarrassed and left.
I thought maybe the girl was some
theatrical friend or someone"
But you did get a good look at
her?" McNeal questioned.
The girl nodded.
Good enough so you could
identify her?"
II think So"
McNeal pressed button on his
desk. I'm sorry you didn't tell
us all this yesterday, but it's still
not too late" he said. mo, it's
not too late"
The door opened then and a man
appeared. Nelson" said McNeal,
have that girl brought in here,
will you? The one we're holding
for the King murder"
TINE man in the doorway nodded,
i disappeared. Bannister got to
his feet then. Guess I'll drift on"
he said.
McNeaI nodded. AS Bannister
closed the door he heard the cap
tain asking Denise Lang ques-
ton. There was unnecessary vio-
lence in the way Bannister closed
that door.
He had something to do and knew
that he must do it without delay.
He went into the presSroom and
called the Evening Post. When he
was connected with the city desk
and heard AuStin's voice over the
wire he said, Denise Lang is here.
She's come to identify the girl
they're holding in Jail. Said she
saw the girl with King. If you'll
send a photographer think you
can get pictures"
For the next ten minutes Ban
mister was all newspaper man. The
story, he assured Austin, was for
the present, at least, exclusive. He
repeated it to a rewrite man, prom
ised to call back as soon as Denise
Lang's verdict came. Yes, sure, he'd
let them know right away.
Bannister put down the tele-
phone and walked out into the hall.
Well, that was that! He couldn't
hold up news of that sort. Denise
Lang would identify the other girl,
all right.
The door Of McNeal's Office was
closed and there was no one in
sight. Bannister walked the
length Of the corridor, turned and
walked back. He looked at his
watch. Almost 2:45. That pho
tographer should be here by this
time. What was the matter with
him? What was the matter with
everybody?
Why didn't some one come out
Of NIcNeaIs office? 1t shouldn't
have taken two minutes for Denise
Lang to say whether or not she'd
seen the other girl before.
But the door did not open and
rage mounted in Bannister's heart.
Then, from behind the door, he
heard cry.
