Drumu of Oil History
Written in Sends

Many thrilling chapter in Amer
lean oil history is written in the
sands. The Wilcox sand Of Central
Oklahoma, known to oil men the
world over, was so named in 1919
from its discoverer, Homer F. Wilcox.
The Cromwell sand was named for
the discoverer of the Cromwell field
in 1925.
Other names are clues to location.
The Viola "lime," for instance, is
named for the village of Viola where
this limestone formation appears at
the surface. The Sylvan shale is
from the town ofs Sylvan, and the
Hunton lime from the town OF
Hunton.
Many Of the well-known sands,
like the Glen sand, take their names
from the farm on which they were
discovered. - American Petroleum

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-The
thrill that only the blind can un-
derstand came to q 27-year-old
sightless man yesterday when for
the first time he was able to dis
tinguish objects through corneal
tissue donated by John Deering, Salt
Lake City murderer.
In a darkened room, voice tense
with excitement, he counted the
fingers on the eye surgeons hand.
It was the first time the bandage
was lifted since the operation last
week when the healthy tissue was
transplanted.
The surgeon, who requested that
his name and that Of the patient be
withheld, said that later on the
young man should have enough Wis
ion to read.
Deering, confessed murderer, died
before a Utah firing squad. His eyes
were sent here for the delicate graft
ing operation.

PRACTISE GOLDEN
 RULE SAYS DEAN
Unforgiving Christian Is Worse Than Sinner De-
 clareS Yale Professor

The stern, unforgiving Christian sometimes is worse than the repent ent sinner and if a person really wishes to emulate Christ he must practice the golden rule, rather than adhere to the strict lines of justice, Dean Emeritus Charles R. Brown of Yale Divinity school, remarked last night in his lecture of the Lenten series being held at First Congrega- tional church.
 Solution of industrial and domes- tic problems, controversy between labor and capital and between hus- band and wife, can be effected by broadminded persons who can for get and forgive quality of person. ality and the great problems of to- day can be solved only by the men and women of the world who will cooperate in conciliation with for giving minds as bases for their con- ferenceS.
 Dean Brown pointed to the ami able relationship between Canada and the United States, saying that differences as to boundary lines and other matters have been settled by arbitration and conciliatory confer ences throughout history of these neighboring domains. The rest of the worlds problems can be settled the same way, he said, without re- course to treaties and pacts.

THEATRE MAN ARRESTED FOR
SHOWING BIRTH OF A NATION

ORANGE, N.J.-Adolph j. Rettig,
manager of the Ormont theatre here.
has been arrested for exhibiting the
race-hating film "The Birth of
Nation.u
The warrant for his arrest was
sworn out by DR.. Theodore R. Ihge,
president Of the Orange branch Of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People under
q New Jersey law passed in 1895 de-
signed originally to curb Nazi propa--
ganda. The law bans any picture
(which in any way incites, promotes,
advocates Or symbolizes hatred, vio--
lence or hostility against any group
of persons by reasons of race, color
religion or manner Of worship"
The Ormont theatre exhibited the
film May Gil over the protest OF
the Orange branch of the NAACP.
The branch secured more than 600
signatures to q petition asking the
city council to forbid the showing
of the film. After the first two days
of it's exhibition, some parts were
deleted, but DR.. Inge maintained that

the entire film should be withdrawn
and accordingly swore out the war
rant under the 1885 law.
Franklin ]. McGlynn, attorney for
the theatre manager, stated that he
did not see why anyone would OBJ
iect to the film because lit had been
exhibited for more than twenty
years The national office of the
NAACP informed the Orange branch
that it had compiled record show
ing that the film at one time or an
other has been banned in eighteen
states because it has been adjudged
to be an incitment to riot and hatred.
The Essex county grand jury will
take up the Rettig case.
Nc. McGlynn said he would call
David Wark Griffith, producer of the
film, as a witness and have him tell
how he assembled his material for
the Reconstruction period scenes OF
the picture. The picture glorifies the
Ku KIux Klan and paints the Ne
gro race as composed of brutes and
rapists.
