HOME LAX IN DUTY TO ITS
YOUTH

The home, the school, the church
and the community are failing in
their training of youths, Justin Miller
charges, pointing out that much of
our present-day crime is committed
by Juveniles, and the average age of
criminals now is about 49,"
Mr.. Miller is chairman of Attor-
ney-General Homer S. Cummings ad-
visory committee on crime. He was
the speaker at a session of the
fortieth annual meeting of the Mary
land Bar Association, Friday night
at Atlantic City.
Problem Intensified
Turning to The part youths are
playing in the field of crime, Mr..
Miller said:
1T behooves us to give careful
consideration to the train .ng of those
upon whom we rely for the training
of adolescent youth. Present-day
methods of living and present-day
complexities of civilization have in
tensified tremendously the problem
of the adjustment of youth.
at is time for us to consider, with
a realistic understanding of our
problem, whether or not we should
begin the training of adults for
parenthood and for home making
and whether or not our present
method of education is designed to
accomplish the results which it is
supposed to accomplish.
Agencies "Inadequate'
Frankly, our present agencies are
inadequate. In most of our schools
tday we find methods of mass educa-
ton which pay little attention TO in
dividual capacities and differences
and which are poorly equipped to
discover the talents of youth and to
direct them into useful channels.
oddly enough, it is frequently
only in correctional institutions that
we find real opportunities for voca-
tional guidance and training for such
work.
1.-The assumption seems 20 be that
if child is adequately schooled in
the three RS dhe should then be able
to make his own transition into the
complex life of the present day.
Something should be done to re-
store the place of the church in the
moral training and guidance of
youth.
"Those who are charged with the
administration of Juvenile courts and
of juvenile probation should become
leaders in the community in working
out new methods of adjusting youth
to the community, rather than ap-
preaching the problem, as is usually
the case at the present time, as one
of crime which should be handled
by the old methods of the criminal
court"

LIBERTY BELL HAD STORMY
HISTORY

The history of the Liberty Bell,
which now reposes in an honored
spot in Independence Hall, in Phila-
delphia, is a stormy one. 1t was in
January, 1850, that the order for a
bell to hang in the state house in
Philadelphia, first was placed by
officials of that institution.
The bell was purchased from a
firm in London, England, but when
it arrived in this country an error in
the inscription was discovered and
the bell itself cracked when first test
ed, in August, 1852.
The bell could not be transported
back to England, and two Philadel-
phia men named Pass and Stow at
tempted to cast new one, but it
also was discovered to be imperfect
The bell was finally accepted in June,
1853, and put in it's place in the
tower of the building.
Included in items of expenses for
making and hanging the bell, his
torical documents show, were pota-
tees, beef, hams, mustard, pepper,
salt, butter, cheese, lines, bread,
wood, earthenware, and beer and
rum, the whole amount costing about
S28.
Pass and Stow were paid about
$500 for casting the bell.
The Liberty bell was not always
treated with the reverence shown it
now One petition signed by resi-
dents of Philadelphia complained
against the frequent ringing of the
bell, calling it dangerous incon-
venience."
The bell was first rung July g.,
1875, to call the citizens together to
hear the reading of the proclamation
of the adoption of the Constitution.
The Liberty Bell was intimately
associated with the continental army
The bell was taken to Allentown for
safekeeping when the American
forces were about to evacuate Phila-
ielphia in 1777.
The Liberty Bell announced the
surrender of CORVALLIS, welcomed
Washington, proclaimed victory and
peace, mourned Washington, well
,omed Lafayette, and mourned
Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, and then
Lafayette. All the great actors in
the drama of independence had
passed from the stage when the great
DELL rang for the last time
July 8, 1885, SO years to the day
after the time of it's historical first
ringing, the Liberty Bell tolled for
the last time and cracked half way
up it's side during the funeral of
John Marshall, chief justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The bell was removed from its
steeple in 1881.
Today it is enclosed in a case in
independence hall, hanging from a
heavy yoke supported by two bronze
uprights. The case is of white oak,
with plate glass panes, and the whole
stands on movable platform which
can be run out of the building in case
of fire.
The Liberty Bell is IL feet in cir
conference around the lip and feet,
6 inches around the crown. 1t is 8
inches thick in the part near the lip
and IA inches thick in the thinnest
part toward the crown.
The clapper is feet, 2 inches
long, and the entire weight is 1850
pounds. The bell is girdled by Is
narrow-ridged rings, and the edge is
mutilated by the hacking of souvenir
hunters in the days before the bell
was put in the case. On its side is
the long crack which distinguishes it
from any other bell in the world.

now employed. An operator desires q

Royalty rights are not effected, the
operators contend. A farmer can sell roy

ment on ordinary lease property
Members of this organization have
subscribed to the first of these units in
order TO give the plan a trial. If the
plan succeeds, It will result in an actual
demand for royalties under unit blocks.
If It pays the participants very slim
return then the participants will doubt
less be thumibs-down on utilization.
The first unit is on section 9-32-5w.

royalty We expect the immediate drill
ing of two wells and steady develop

demand and expect that next year we
will have at least four wells, no matter
what the market situation, with the ad-
vantage OF flush production from the
four wells which will be equivalent, in
our case. to about one and one-half
wells. In this section we hope for some
large wells. comparable with the Bon
nett on the north and the Texaco State
on the south.

TO UNTTIZE OR NOT TO UNITZE

N Crt Bank, this means about $18 per
day. When this well 3s located on $40
acre unit composed Of four 16O-acTe
tracts. the owner of 160 acres gets one
fourth OF SIS per day or $4.25 per. Day.
That cuts his earnings pretty low: too
low TO do MIN any good, II only one
wen is drilled
However, the idea of unit development
contemplates the drilling Of more than
one we'll. The block on which the first
oil unit is proposed Is composed Of four
farms. Tue unit plan guarantees the I'M
mediate drilling OF TWO wells and con-
tinued drilling at the rate OF two wells
per year for four years or until there are
eight wells completed.
Applied back to the man with 16O
acres, he receives only one-fourth as
much from one well; half as much for
two wells. three-fourths as much for
three wells and at the fourth well he Is
receiving a royalty equal TO one we'll
on his own property. In the case OF this
lease the drilling OF eight wells will give
the owner OF $50 acres the equal of two
wells on his leo acres.
In view of the fact that continued
drilling will give flush production on
eight wells, 1t is contended that the roy
atty owner is better off than IL he had
the flush production of only one or two
wells on his land.
In doubtful areas there is always the
possibility Of one man having NO oil on
his land and another man having LARGE
production on his land, with the result
that If two owners of 100 acres COM
bine their chances. they are more Ger
lain of getting some oil, and in the case
of four such tracts, each one is given
four times the chance for production
and possibly LARGE production by the
formation of the unit.
This takes advantage of the claw of
averages" in the oil business The man
who own royalty on $40 acres is four
times as certain of his participation in
oil as the man with royalty on $50 acres.
Then comes the principal argument Of
MAXIM ULTIMATE RECOVERY.
Proponents of utilization claim that
where they have $40 acres of land to
work on, with no offset restrictions. it
is possible to space wells in circle
around a given key we'll. Gas can be
introduced into this key well and each
of the surrounding wells will be-in

The most noted question in the pet
oleum industry today is UNITIZATIoN.
There are many misundersbanding
and more misgivings about unitiEing oil
operations.
In Cut Bank field the unit plan has
been introduced in the gas area, and
is now being introduced by the Texas
company in the oil area The Texas COM
pany has evolved a plan whereby IL
hopes to effect greater recovery per

can be worked out only by getting away

It therefore effects none other than

The operator proceeds to drill where
ever he chooses. without regard to pro- ,
perty lines. Except TOT MS OUTSIDE 1luSS'
around the section, he Is not required to-
drill offsets. Since each royalty owner
has an interest in ALL the oil produced.
the royalty owner does not care whether
the odl comes from one farm or another
farm.
As result. the operator can space his
wells to effect maximum recovery
That is the general theory Of unit
operation.
Manv landowners are opposed to unit
operation. They aver that it is merely
plan intended to curtail drilling In order
to set up oil reserves for 10, 20 and per-
haps so years from now.
'I am not anxious to die poor
and have my royalty dribbled out

one Of the opponents to the plan.
When a 1O0-Oarrel well is drilled on
$50 acres, the owner thereof is entitled
to 12h barrels OF oil per day, to be de-
livered to him free OF cost Of production.
