Although Brinson has been an Elk for many years he never before has attended a national conven= tion of the order.

Now that the meeting is close to home, he will erank un his spegially. constructed uutomo- bile and drive here. The automo- bile is reinforced against the ex- tra_welght it carries, and has a long, hung seat in the .back to give Brinson space and comfort. Brinson_ calls himself the original B. P, O. E.

He plans to take part in every- thing at the conveéntion, and in- tends to swing a fantastic, if not light, toe at the peach ball, the watermelon ball and the cotton ball, the three gala events of the conclave.

The geological survey reports, however, that in Lee county near-Rose Hill, in the southwestern corner of Virginia, the existence of an ofl deposit has been confirmed and explained by one of the most pecullar natural phe- nomena, which ever has engaged the attention of paleontologists. With the first rumors of an, oil strike Charles Butts,. 22 Channing street northwest, a geologist with wide experience, was sent to Lee county. He found the oil in a little valley about one mile square sur- rounded on three sides by ridges which rise 300 feet or more. It came from a yellowish-gray soll, lying over soft green shaje rocks and sand- | stone, while the soil and rocks of the surrounding ridges are bright red.

The practlcal explanation, Butts reported .to the geological survey, is that in this reglon a ridge from 115 to 120 miles long and 20 to 25 milés: wide was thrown up over a mile from the direction of the center of the earth. It may extend from Lee county to beyond the base qf Pine Mountain in Kentucky. This means that ofl strikes are possible anywhere in this region, but their existence is highly speculative at present.

July 7.—A challenge to the church to urge the Christen gospel as the only solution for social and industrial problems was made tonight before the inter- national conference on Chrisian citi- zenship by Dr. Charles L.
