CHANCE OF OIL
 GOOD IN TEXAS
Geologists Claim Thre e Quarters of Land Show
 Possibilities

Auotin, Texas (UP)--Three. fourths of Texas 170,oo0,ooo acres have possibilities of oil, according to tho Bureau of Economic deol- ogy of tho University of Texas, but striking oil still Is Q gamble.
 After the best efforts to pick places where tho oil should be, a third of the wells turn out to be "dry holes."
 Drilling records have been kept by the state railroad commission since 1925. These show 26,16S dry wells and 29,712 plugged wells dur ing that period. In the same time SI,li0 permits to drill were issued.
 How many of tho plugged wells would have been profitable pro. ducers Is not known.
 Sinco tho discovery of the East Texas oil fold, where oil is almost suro to bo struck wherever q well Is placed, the proportion of dry holes has dropped. In 1883 there were 7.767 permits to drill and only 1884 dry holes.

much Is SO per cent in the course Of
such negotiations.
He could not take an article off the
free list or put one on 1t, and hts
power would be limited to q three
year term. .......
This, clearly, Is a bill OF far-reach-
ing proportions. It would alter COM
pletely our traditional method of set
ting tariff rates. taking this most i'm
portant function Of government out
Of the hands Of congress and vesting
1t in one man.
The question to decide now is
whether the advantages would out
weigh the defects.
It would give US a chance to get
something resembling q scientific
tariff and 1t would end one Of WASH
ington's greatest log-rolling games.
On the other hand. it would give the
president enormous new powers and
to all intents and purposes-take
from the representatives of the peo-
pie one Of their most important func-
tions.
We are called upon to do q nice bit
OF weighing OF comparative advan-
tages.

Americas ADVANTAGES

Whatever the calendar may say, or
whatever the weatherman may have
to add, spring Is here. An unfailing
harbinger tells us 50; the big league
baseball clubs have started their
spring training seasons.
Now we are beginning to get the
annual crop OF dope stories," telling
how this rookie Is sure to be q sensa-
ton. how that veteran has taken a
new lease on life, how so-and-So still
Is holding out for more money, how
such-and-such q star is knocking the
ball over the fences Of the southland
with renewed zest.
None Of it means very much, prob
ably-but 1t stirs the citizens pulses
just the same. It means that winter
Is over, and that long stretch Of
nice weather is just ahead.
Baseball remains the national
game, in that, in all its aspects, it is
characteristic OF America and of nc
other land. How. one wonders, dc
the benighted folk of England. France
or Russia, know when spring has ar.
rived, without the big leaguers to tel
them? Do they have to depend on
calendars?

Less Speed. More Safety

Less Speed, More Safety
The wisecrackers probably will get
a good deal Of fun out of the fact
that the Northern Federation OF Civic
Organizations, in California, has
adopted resolution urging legisla-
ton forbidding the production OF
autos which can exceed a speed OF
IS miles an hour.
But when you stop to think about
1t, this resolution isn't nearly as ri
diculous as it might seem on first
glance.
Excessive speed IS q contributing
factor in the majority Of fatal auto
accidents. We pass elaborate traffic
laws and hire whole battalions of
traffic policemen to see that speed is
curbed-but we go right ahead max
ing cars which can travel at speeds
that are genuinely safe nowhere but
on regular speedways.
On the whole, we don't seem to
have sense enough to handle these
high-speed cars properly; 1t is not in
the least surprising If some people are
beginning to suspect that more radi-
Cal restrictions are necessary.

Henderson may not be q ball of

SCHOOLBELLE STOMACHACHE

Every real boy or girl is entitled to
the privilege Of an occasional attack
of 8 o'clock fever in an r month. Pa
rents who are reasonably indulgent
should not be too much concerned
about these spells. With all the mod
ern improvements and inducements
school sometimes pals on the modern
child just as the plain old fashioned
institution did on you and me.
Here is mother suspect one
child mother-who takes schoolbell
stomachache too seriously.
II have been sending my five year
old daughter to kindergarten for
month. After q few days Of school
she began to act strangely in the
mornings. She doesn't want to get
out of bed. She walks around with
frown on her face. She complains OF
bellyaches whether she really has
them, don't know. She gets vomit-
ing spells, even though she wouldn't
eat or drink anything at all Tor
breakfast. She vonlits many times
just as she enters the school grounds
But once she gets into school, she
plays happily and enjoys herself thor
oughly. She never mentions that she
doesn't like or doesn't want to go to
school. All this happens only on
school days. Saturdays and Sundays
she jumps out Of bed, eats a big
breakfast and feels fine. Her actions
in the morning worry me much. She
is losing weight. Please advise me
what to do"
One good way to remedy the trouble
would be to keep the child out OF
school and instead employ a well
trained teacher, one especially train
ed to teach and manage infants. TO
spend an hour with the child each
schoolday. Such q teacher can &C
complish wonders with such a child,
and in q way that IS 50 unlike the
childs conception Of kindergarten or
school that it will bring out (educate)
the child's natural enthusiasm to
learn.
Another way would be to endeavor
to get on friendly terms with one or
more Of the teachers in the kinder
garten, say by having them as guests
from time to time when the child can
get acquainted with them. Also u
possible have some Of the other chill
dren in the kindergarten come to lit.
tie parties, 50 that the child can gel
well acquainted with them.
Finally, It is possible that there i
something wrong with the kindergar-
ten or the attitude Of those in charge
or the attitude Of other children
some influence which would justify
withdrawing your child and sending
her to some other school. But II
would be q mistake to take such 9
step unless you know definitely thai
the change Is necessary. More like.
