E WATER OILMEN"

The bottom of the ocean is now being explored, off the
shores of Texas and Louisiana, where "deep water oilmen" are
seeking the outlines of salt domes-buried mountains of salt
that were pushed up from deep in the earth ages ago and, in
the process upheaved everything rocks which created natural
traps for oil.
Deep water prospecting for oil is a postwar phenomenon.
The prOspectos' equipment includes retired navy ~subchasers,
shrimp traWlers, converted army air-sea rescue boats, and a
77-foot yacht. Their instruments include gravity meters,
sesmographs, and radar. The gravity meter measures varia-
lions in gravity caused by changes in the underwater rock
structures. The seismOgraph records on paper the time it takes
shock waves from on explosive charge to hit rock layers below
and bounce back to the surface, thus indicating the depths of
various rock formations and providing pictures of oil traps if
any are present. Radar has proven invaluable in fixing a boats
position, particularly in bad weather.
The informtion so far gained indicates that the prodigal
oil fields Of the LOuisianaTeXas Gulf Coast may extend far out
under the sea, and a practical test is soon to be made in deep
water drilling. This is simply one part of the oil industrys
program to completely chart our oil resources-and to put them
to work for the benefit of this country and the world as rapidly
as possible.

TEACH FIRE SAFETY IN SCHOOLS

The active program developed at the Presidents conference
on fire prevention recommends that basic instruction In fire
safety be expanded and intensified at all levels of education
and in all types of schoos-public, private and parOchla.
II is certainly true that we owe the %3OOO0,OOO young peo-
pie now in school the best possible instruction in the causes and
prevention of fire. Both students and teachers should partici'
pate in community and home fire prevention activities. 1nstruc-
ton can be made dramatic and interesting. And, on the college
level, fire safety can be integrated with such courses as chem1s-
try and physics, where it will be of definite disable value to the
student in his future life.
Fire instruction in schools would produce a nation of adults
in whom safety habits had become natural and ingrained. Nil
lions of people would automatically do the proper thing
and take the simple safeguards that would prevent the majority
of fires. The fundamental attitudes of all are established in
the formative years. Most schools now devote considerable
time to such subjects as traffic safety. Fire safety deserves
equal attention.
This is a matter for state departments of education and
for the trustees of public and private schools. instruction in
fire prevention would cost nothing, would fit perfectly into
school curricula, and would save untold numbers of lives and
gigantic sums of money over the years.

Army To Alter Setup
For c. and Warrant
Officer Promotions

Continuing the effort toward max
ing an army career attractive to
young men of high character is a
new career plan for non-commission-
ed officers which was recently an
nounced by the war department. I'm
der the new plan all enlisted men
will be required to qualify for pro-
motion to the three highest non
commissioned grades by taking a
competitive examination. In addi-
ton, all NCO's now in the first
three grades will be required to take
an examination in order to retain
the grade they now hold with the
exception of men who have ten years
or more of service who have held
their present grade for three or
more years.
The plan calls for the abolition of
all technician grades and a change
in the titles of two of the top non
commissioned grades. Staff sergeant
and technical sergeant will be dis
continued and the grades of sergeant
first class and senior sergeant will
be created. The new series of nom
commissioned grades will be corpor-
al, sergeant, sergeant first class,
senior sergeant and master sergeant.
The title of first sergeant will be
a job assignment and, as at present,
will be in the first pay grade.
A proposal now before congress
will provide for four grades of war
rant officers to be filled by COM
petitive examination. The new WO
grades will carry pay and allowances
Of a second lieutenant, first lieut.
enant, captain and major respective
ly These changes, with the eXcep-
ton of the new grades of warrant
officers, do not require cOngressiOn-
al approval and will enable enlisted
men to reach the pay and allow
ances of a major.
Under the new plan the number
Of noncommissioned officers author
lied for the entire army will be
greatly increased, and a system will
BE- set up whereby incapable and
inefficient personnel will be weeded
out. The plan has been tentative
ly laid out and will be submitted
to the army for recommendation by
officers, warrant officers and non
commissioned officers prior to its
actual inception, which is expected
to take place on or about March l.,
1913.
