Shale Reserves Protect
u. S. From Oil Shortage

NEW YORK.-America need not
worry about exhausting the automo-
bile fuel supply for at least 1000
years, according to Hugh D. Miser,
chief of the section Of fuels of the
United States geological survey.
Miser said supply of bituminous
substances. even larger than the bill
lions of barrels of petroleum in
known reserves, is sealed in shale
reserves.
During the last 20 years new dis
coveries Of petroleum have balanced
consumption, Miser said. The ex-
tent Of the nations petroleum re-
serves rests largely with "the ge-
ologist to continue to aid in the
increasingly difficult problem Of dis
covery, with the engineer to i'm
prove drilling technique to increase
recoveries and with the chemist to

Average Man Of 20 Years
Spends S of Them Eating

LONDON. - The average man
spends FIVE years Of his life eating.
A group of expert investigators
who have just concluded detailed
examination of the lives Of ordinary
people in Great Britain found that
the ordinary man could eat all the
food required for good health in half
an hour, but he takes more than two
hours at the table. Most Of the
waste is caused by waiting for meals
to be served.
A man who lives to the age of 20.
therefore, spends some 450, 900 hours
eating, or about five years.
The investigators also found that
the average woman wastes 10 years
Of her life doing unnecessary labor
in housework and answering the
doorbell.

NEW YORK.-Assen Jordanoff,

into the motor it is heated to nor

mechanism.
Jordanof said the frozen gaso-
ine," which remains liquid, loses
its Flash" because of low tempera.
ture. He aimed a flaming blow
torch into a pail of it and it merely
extinguished the fire. Holding the
flame above the gasoline it required
Is seconds for it to catch fire.
Frozen gasoline. he said, would
eliminate explosions in the crash
of planes or the ignition of fuel
tanks by incendiary bullets in mill
tary aircraft. He said it would be
an advantage in airplanes flying
through electrical storms or in
cases where it became necessary
to dump gasoline.
Jordanoff conducted his tests in
a f1edgling biplane with a special
license from the Civil Aeronautics
authority. The added mechanical
equipment weighs about 100 pounds
and could be installed easily in any
plane, he said.

Egyptian Trend Is Shown
In Ruins in New Guinea

MELBOURNE. - Recent discov-
cries in the hinterland of New
Guinea by E. c. Chinnery, govern
ment anthropologist, would indicate
that connections at one time existed
there with Egyptian civilization.
Among the things he found to indi-
cate this were stone pestles and
mortars of the kind used in ancient
Egypt for recovering gold from
quartz, and also the fact that the
tribes used the same process for
munmifying their dead as did the
Egyptians.
Other discoveries made by Chin
merry during his last exploration in
New Guinea are the following:
Fortified mountain villages on
pinnacles SO steep that hostile ma
tives can hur1 insults at one another
from one village to the next.
A tribe whose code demands that
each candidate go out and kill a
man before he can be initiated to
manhood.
Snow on mountains a few miles
from the equator.
Terraced and hanging gardens.

Bold Stroke Won Fortress

Smoldering fires of a revolution
burst into flames in Santo Domingo
in 1916. Soon the u. S. Marines
were landed and, after several
skirmishes, they occupied a num-
ber of towns and villages with a
view to pacifying the country.
One small detachment of sea
soldiers was on duty at San Fran
cisco de Macoris, under the COM
mond of Lieutenant Ernset G. Will
liams. All about them were re-
bellious Domipicans, and the local
stronghold, called Fortaleza, was
under the control of about forty
Well-armed natives. At any mo-
ment the natives might decide to
release and arm the 100 prisoners
confined in Fortaleza, increasing
the potential dangers of the situa-
tion.
When orders were received by
Williams to establish a military
government, he Immediately at
tackled and captured the fortress
with a mere handful of men, per-
forming one of the most daring ex
ploits in the history of the Marine
Corps.
With only a dozen men he made
his assault, eight marines being
wounded in the first onslaught.
With reckless disregard of danger
Williams and his four remaining
marines pressed on, the leader
thrusting himselg against the door
just as it was being closed by the
Dominicans, and forcing an entry.
At this critical moment Will
liams' pistol jammed just as a ma
tive pointed his rifle straight at
the marine leaders chest. How
ever, an alert marine grabbed the
rifle and wrested it from the mans
grasp. During the next few breath
taking minutes the marines killed
two guards and gained control of
the stronghold with its 100 prison
ers.
For his heroic conduct Lieuten-
ant Williams was awarded the
Congressional Medal of Honor.
Only inspired leadership could
have prompted the marines to
charge straight through to their
objective after nearly two-thirds of
them were wounded in the initial
ATTACK.

Advertising is the news of busi-

importance to us than any other
news in the paper.
For example, if a woman needs
new coat and scans the advertise

the business news she reads is of
far greater moment in her life right
then than the story on page one of
war in Asia Minor or of an oil
field fire in Texas.
Stripped of all glamor and mys-
terry advertising amounts to nothing
more exciting than this: telling peo-
pie of a place where they can get
what they need to make life possi-
BILE or endurable or lively or en-
joyable at the most satisfactory and
economical basis.
The advertiser who keeps telling
the story of his advantages natural
ly gets the bulk of the trade, be-
cause, as you have just learned, we
all forget rapidly and must be re-
minded continually if we are to act.
