Oil Recovery Increased by
Remote Control Cannon

Schenectady, N. Y.-Fifteen gun
barrels, firing 80 caliber bullets
through an oil well casing hundreds
of feet below the surface, promise
to increase oil production in many
fields where several rock strata
bear oil. During drilling, each oil
stratum encountered is recorded on
the well log. Later, when the well
is cased to the bottom, the cannon
is lowered to the level of each oil
stratum, and fired, punching holes
in the casing to let in the oil from
that bed.
Controlled electrically from the
well head. this cannon may be low
cred as much as two miles below
the surface, and fired when it is op-
posite any desired rock bed. Ac-
curate revolution counters tell the
operators exactly how far below the
surface the cannon is at any time.

little one," he said. "She is no long

little Christian woman, fit to be a
good wife to some man. It is time
for her to wed. And because she is
your protege, you should know I
have it in my heart to arrange a
marriage for her with young Pio."
"An Indian!" exclaimed the Gov

he needs something happy in his

has run away to join his savage

lose him entirely"
FACES mused, looking after the
graceful figure of the girl.
81 suppose you are right, Padre.
But she still seems a child to me.
And had rather thought she would
marry, when the time came, one of
the Kings soldiers. Do you want

"Ah, well, I doubt not he knows

seems most fitting to be beginning
these preparations during the sea-
son of the vintage. For I am PLAN
ming to plant for my beloved, my
Master, another vineyard, and I
pray the hill will be very fruitful, as
yours is" He smiled, and FACES
watched him walk away, his old face
lit with exalted smiles.
Then he turned and watched Indi-
zuela sauntering toward him, her
basket empty. Her hands were pur-
ple-stained, and her lips, for she
had flched the most luscious grapes
here and there as she picked. "Her
eyes are black, black as starry
night" thought FACES. AS she came
toward him, she smiled suddenly,
and the flash of white teeth in her
dark face was startling.
She was dark, dark as the earth,
and from her rose an aura of fruit
fulness, of ancient earth-mysteries,
hidden, savage, impenetrable.

Twelfth Century Lending
Glamor to Glove Fashions

The fine glove, tabards and even
shields used by Robins noblemen
enemies are contributing ideas to
the early spring style picture. The
gloves all have picturesque gaunt-
lets and many of the finer ones are
embroidered in silver or gold.
This is an idea which should bios
som around cocktail time or even
after dinner. The tabard of the
Twelfth century was a long, oblong
piece of cloth which had hole cut
in the center. The head was thrust
through the hole, the waistline was
girded and the result was dashing
tunic. Usually the front of these
were elaborately embroidered in
metallic thread. The tabard is a
clever way to dress up lounging
pajamas or to give a tunic effect to
any gown.

itself offers, consider the style-high
looks" which you may be sure
will make instant appeal, for design
ers are turning out perfectly stun
ming tub frocks this season. Note
the accent on color contrast in each
of the two light outfits shown. This
matter of using dark with light in
sharp contrast is important news.
Because it is champagne color,
because it is new fabric, congo
cloth to be explicit, and because
the top of the dress is of the same
fabric in chevron stripes of yellow,
royal and polo blue, the model to
the right is noteworthy example
of what's newest for spring and
summer. It is a perfect choice to
wear in the way of a spectator
sports costume on a sunny after
noon.
Very definitely does the other
dress announce the smartness of
dark with light. The manner of COM
bining navy with white as here
shown is characteristic of this sea-
sons new styling. In some instances
the latest dresses 60 fifty-fifty white
or light with dark brown or perhaps
the new copper tone or deep red as
the case may be.
The peasant dirndl full-skirted
models have emerged from play
clothes fashions being shown in the
new spring dresses for street and
general wear. Note the dirndl frock
in the foreground. 1t is a sure
enough winner. Made of navy linen
this dress with white braid orna-
mentation has the typical high bust
line of the authentic dirndl as worn
by mid-Europe peasants. The
matching kerchief scarf worn on the
head is a young fashion that persists
among the sorority of school age
gives the picturesque peasant at
mosphere and is fattering in the
extreme.

The air is rife with news in re-
gard to the revival of Gibson-girl
fashions. And if you think there is
any doubt as to the reality of this
style movement see here pictured a
lady of fashion, year 1888, as will
grace the immediate spring and
summer style scene. The rough
straw sailor hat with huge decora-
tive pin and crisp veil is true to an
honest-to-goodness original Gibson
type. The demure blouse of shadow
printed Swiss organdie with cascad-
ing jabot frill and high-tucked band
collar is reminiscent of the early
19OO's. The smart wool suit in the
picture has a straight navy skirt
with action pleats at front and back.
The fitted jacket which she carries
is of matching blue wool fabric,
chalk-striped in white.

new GAS RANCE
BOTH EFFICIENT
and BEAUTIFUL
BroiIer Pans Made Easy
To Handle

The new gas ranges, with broil-
ers up toward the top to do away
with back-bending exercises, are
proving the most popular models
in years.
For years broiling was cookery's
stepchild. Because brojler pans
were difficult to handle and awk-
ward to clean and the job of
broiling was accompanied by so
much smoke and scattering fat,
only the brave attempted it.
SMOKE ELIMINATED
With the new ranges, broiling
doesn't have to fill the house with
smoke. Because fat makes smoke
the new gas range has a new
type of smokelesS broiler pan
having a fairly solid rack, with
openings to allow the fat to run
into the pan below. When no fat
is in contact with the flame there
is no smoke.
The unusually heavy insulation
on the new ovens means that bak.
ing and roasting may go on freely
and comfortably in summer as in
winter. 1t also means cheaper
operation and evener heat distribu
ton to insure perfect baking re.
suits.
CONTROLS AUTOMATIC
Automatic temperature controls
are standard equipment of prac,
tically all gas ranges.
And the new ranges have not
sacrificed beauty for mechanical
perfection. The current models
are prettier than ever.
White is the favorite color be-
cause it works so tremendously
with changing color schemes. The
white may be dressed up with
black or a bit of other color.
Some ranges have entire tops of
cleaning metal.

teresting true confession" from
an Agriculture employee 1t
seems that when she was IA her
hands were covered with the
"pesky little bumps" all sizes and
sorts =. A chap told her to count
them, pick up that number of
pebbles, wrap them in a package
and throw them away The
warts would disappear, but would
reappear on the hands of the per-
son picking up the package!
"A dirty trick" said she, but,
nevertheless she counted her
warts, IL in number, wrapped
that number of pebbles in a neat
package and threw them as far
as she could She had little
faith in the cure, however, hav-
ing tried many others, including
stealing fresh meat and burying
an old dishcloth, without RESULT
"A few hours later her younger
brother came daShing into the
house shouting: Look what I've
found" and holding the wart
package in his hand She
seized the package and threw it
far away, but the damage was
done Her warts disappeared
like magic, but her brother, who
had never had one, started to
develop them!
