TaIHr Field
Well Flows
$50 Barrels

Standard on of British Columbia
and Nassau Explorations. In joint
venture, have completed a well In
the Taber field, 80 miles north of
the Alberta Montana border and due
north of the Cut Bank field, flowing
$50 barrels initiaIly of 237-mavity
crude, according to the Calgary Oil
Bulletin. 1t Is the best completion
SO far recorded in the Taber area,
which has about a dozen producers.
One well, completed In 1912. has
yielded 120,911 barrels Is now pump
ing 40 barrels daily. Average depth
of producers n this area Is about
5000 feet.

as a competitor.
This Is contained In "a Report
on the international Control of
Atomic Energy" issued by the de
partment of state and prepared for
1.-THE Secretary of States Commit
tee on Atomic Energy by board
of highly-rated consultants. In dis
cussing a report by a panel of
scientists prepared for the Secre-
tary of Wars interim committee
on atomic energy, the state depart
ment document says:
"The report discusses two great
fields for beneficial use, the de
velopment of atomic energy as a
controlled source of power and the
application of radiations and radio
activities to the growth of the
sciences and the practical arts 1t
gives a sober appraisal of each of
these possibilities: 1T Is probable
the report states, that the exploita-
ton of atomic energy as tool for
research will outweigh the benefits
to be derived from the availability
of new source of power. But this
new source of power Is itself re-
garded as of great significance, and
1t is thought to be the most APP
propriate focal point for the work
of the next few years
We have examined In some de
TAIL the report continues, the
technical problems of making avail
able heat and power on the scale of
present world consumption from
controlled nuclear reactors. We see
no significant limitations on this
development, either in the avail
ability or in the cost of the funda-
mental active materials. We see
characteristic limitations and char
acteristic advantages in atomic
power which makes us regard 1t in
great measure as supplement to
existing resources and an incentive
to new developments, rather than
as competitor, let us say, to coal
or to petroleum products.
I'VE believe that the develop
ment of rather large power units
for heat and conversion to electrical
energy is program for the near
future; that operating units which
will serve to demonstrate the use
fulness and limitations of atomic
power can be in existence within
a few years, and that only the
gradual incorporation and adapta.
ton of such units to the specific
demands of contemporary economy
viii involve protracted develop
ment.'"

OUTLOOK HELD SOUR
FOR SMALL REFINER

According to results of a study
made public by the department of
justice, within five years most of
the nations small refineries will
have been absorbed by the larger
operators. The report points out
that from 1910 to 1945, crude oil
refining capacity of the major oil
companies increased from 75.8 to
50 percent of the nations total.
Says the report:
With the advent of a buyers
market, and the renewal of keen
competition among sellers, only
those companies which are in a
position to sell better grades of pc
troleum products at cheaper prices,
are expected to survive"

ing to let the other do it. Each
parent is willing to let some other
parents boy stay overseas if only
he can get his own son. back Every
possible influence is brought, every
possible string is pulled, to secure

port from a European command said
that two officers were kept busy

down inquiries from just one sena-
tor as to the status of the sons of

Part of the fault for our scuttle

icy of the government which sold
millions of people to the idea that
war was an investment rather than
an expense. Were not war bonds

of settling into the harness to pay

per cent increase over the previous
five-year period.
These figures hold one consoling
fact. Had it not been for the I'M
renting efforts of the fire proven
ton authorizes, fire losses would
by his time have reached truly
staggering proportions. Fire pre-
vention has become a scientific, ma
tionwide activity. Trained experts
are working to hold fire destruction
to an absolute minimum. Their in
fluence is felt in all new buildings,
as we'll as in older structures. Wir-
ing, heating systems, construction
details and materials, escape facili-
ties and extinguishing equipment
are all subject to their attention.
They have drawn up model fire
codes that have profited thousands
of communities and saved thous-
andS of lives.
The only regret of fire proven
ton experts is that they have not
been able to do more. However,
they are the first to admit
that before fire prevention can
get in its best ticks, the public
must be willing to lend sup
port. In fire prevention, as in so
many other phases of life, it's the
little things that count-a careless
smoker, a pile of old rags, a frayed
electric cord. Statistics show that
Just such little things" destroy tens
of millions of dollars worth of prop
erty and countless lives every year.
And the tragedy is that organized
fire prevention cannot effectively
reach all these causes of destruC-
ton. Only the unorganized indivi-
dual can do it-and in far too many

HERBERT GOLD MINES
IS PLANNING RESUMPTION

The Herbert Gold Mines. near
Libby Mont, down since the gov
eminent ordered a suspension Of
operations in gold properties dur
ing the war, will resume opera
lions in the spring according to
information from official circles Of
the company.
The company will refinance the
proposed resumption program thru
the sale of treasury stock. A method
for the metallurgical treatment of
the Herbert ore is believed to have
been workd out, it was said. The
property has been inspected by a
number of well-known mining en-
gineers.
The property has been opened
by two tunnels and considerable
surface trenching has been done.
Two vein systems have been dis
closed in this work carrying gold
and silver values with some lead.
An interesting feature of the ore
disclosed is the values are about
equal in gold and silver, with an
average estimate of about SIS a
ton for the two metals.

Our military disintegration, the
mass demonstrations of American

all add up to an abdication of in

I ranted. I raved I walked uE
and down, and back again. l stamp
ed, kicked, and cussed.
Oh! what sin was responsible for
this affliction2
The curse of an aching tooth.
At my first attempt to enter
the dentists office the aching tooth
eased I'D and / walked on by, but
farther away it started aching again
and the third try l mustered enough
courage to enter. A very pretty
nurse with friendly smile and a
lovely white uniform Immediately
appeared She asked me to be
seated, the doctor would see me
in a moment and she disappeared
into another room.
Two people were waiting. One
A man who sat rigidly in a chair,
his laws clamped together and his
unseeing eyes staring straight a
head as if in a trance The other
was woman who alternated be-
tween twisting a handkerchief and
nervouSly holding her hand to the
side of her face
In one of the inner rooms l could
hear the doctor and nurse CONVEX
sing in low tones, probably, I
thought, connecting some new meth
cd of inflicting pain, to try out on
me.
Presently the nurse opened the
door and motioned for me to en-
ter. she still had the same sweet
smile and the doctors greeting was
friendly. I imagined the friendli-
ness was Just a means to help lure
their already suffering victims in
to the torture chamber l was I'M
pressively reminded of the spider
and the fly.
After gouging around at my tooth
with a crochet hook the doctor
informed me it had to come out.
The nurse escorted me back TO the
waiting room and said the doctor
would attend to me as soon as ppS-
sible, she made me comfortable and
disappeared Within the inner
,sanctum. She returned shortly
with a glass of water and two little
white pills which she held out to
me, and I took.
l picked up a magazine and tried
to entertain many Disconnected /

bout the recent election of Presi
dent Hoover, but somehow | could

woman were both somewhere with

about the little white pills and what

The next thing l knew, the nurse
with the same sweet smile beckon-
ed for me to enter. AS l entered
the room l realized what a con
DENIED man must experience when
he walks that last long mile to the
electric chair. My legs carried me
boldly to the chair and seated me
therein. What a dirty trick for my
legs to play on my courage.
The nurse promptly tied a bib
around my neck and busted herself
by arranging the crochet hook to-
gether with a goOdy pick and some
other tools that l didn't get good
look at because 1 leaned back and
closed my eyes. The doctor was
there now so I obligingly opened
nv mouth. He prodded around for
awhile, then l felt sharp pain as
from a bee sting, but l didn't hear
any bees so it must have been some
thing else. Now he was welding
the chochet hook again. l could
feel it burrowing down, down, and

second button of my shirt. reach

I could hear the distant gurgle OF

they had given me up? l was al
