Shaie 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
continue Improvements in refining
practice"

Bacteria, the Invisible
Destroyers in War Work

The visible enemies any war pro-
duces are terrifying-the tanks and

rapid fire cannon But they are apt
to be far less potent than the invisi-
bic destroyers: the bacteria, writes
J. D. Ratcliff in McCall's Magazine
Disease always marches with
warning troops and besieges civil
ians corraled into mushroom indus
trial towns Preventing these in
visible destroyers from playing a
deciding role, is the job of the vac
cine divisions of the worlds armies.
In modernity of equipment, and in
potential production. the station
maintained by the United States
army is unexcelled.

mgton, d. c., in the group Of build
ings that includes Walter Reed hos

There are FIVE glassed-in rooms,
each the size of comfortable bed

The army's station is able to ex-
pand ffteenfold within "a days, to
beat general mobilization by weeks
and major troop movements by

year.
Each Of the five glistening rooms
in the vaccine unit has a special
junction. The rod-shaped bacteria

along to room No to be harvested.
In the following laboratories the
vaccine is prepared, mixed and test

White Citizens Support
African Medicine Men

South African government to re-

medicine men and herbalists in
Natal are meeting with obstacles.
Whites who are authorities in Zulu

themselves. are pleading for the
medicine men. These tribal doc

not possessed by trained medical
men. One medicine man told a gov

lunatics with herbs and asked a
chance TO make good his claim.
Because they have the confidence

Counties May Tax
City Power Lines
Beyond City Area
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, May 8.-There are indi-
cations in some of the State depart
emnts here that the problem of coun-
ty taxation of municipal activities is
likely. to become live issue before
very long.
Nothing official could be priedsout
of the Utility Commission, the State
REA or the attorney generals office,
but it would not be IN the least sur
prising if an effort is made by one
or more counties to levy tax on the
power lines of municipalities which
serve customers outside the munich
pal limits. This problem is one that
State officials dealing with have
wished to dodge, if possible.
The recent Supreme Court decision
holding a hotel operated by the town
of Warrenton subject to taxation by
Warren county, has started some
other counties figuring on increasing
their tax return by levies on munich
pal power lines outside the munici-
pal limits.

The map is II feet long by feet,

While the mountains are being
