SHALEGASFINDS DELAYFUEL CRS Usage of Natural Resource Believed Extended Thirty Years by Discoveries. By the Associated Press. NEODESHA, Kan, July 5.—Natural gas experts and users of the product who have felt apprehension over the possible failure of sand gas welis, see in the development of the shale gas indus- try hope that perhaps for another gen. eration or longer the supply will be bountiful. When the great natural gas flelds in this section began to show exhaustion oil men, as well as the people, eaw the impending return to other fuels. In 1923 several practical gas men began to dis- cuss the possibilities of developing what are known as shale gas or brown lime gas wells on a commercial scale. These men recalled that at various places in this section there were small gas wells ‘which had been producing steadily ever since they were drilled. But the gas from these wells was wet. How to com- mercialize the product by finding a method of separating the water from the gas became the question. A group of Neodesha men organized to handle the new industry on a large scale. The company leased-hundreds of acres of land in this vicinity, and drill- ing operations were started. Wells were drilled with great success, and the men asserted they encountered little of the uncertainty met in drilling for sand #as. In addition, they said, there are assurances the wells drilled will have remarkable longevits. The industrial promise of lime gas is a large factor. Source Yet Unsolved. The eource of shale gas remains un- Bolved, although the United States bu- reau of mines has advanced the theory that the gas, which is produced in en- countering the shale and salt water be- low the Oswego lime, is absorbed in the water and carried many thousands of miles. The large amount of gas ab- sorbed by the water is given as the rea- son for the fact that the gas does mot decrease when being drawn upon. The bureau believes that until many thou- sands of wells have been drilled the de- crease of the shale gas supply will not be appreciable. Approximately 500 wells are produc- ing shale gas, some of them through plugs, some outside of the tubing and others through apparatus rigged up for rm use. Many of them have produced constantly for upward of thirty years. Shale gas comes from the tubing a perfect mixture of water and gas. It is received into a standing separator, the gas going out of the top and the water returning to a connection at the Dbottom of the separator, through a pipe line, thence into the big hole between the drive pipe and tubing. Chemical tests show that shale gas contains per cent methane and ethane and prac- tically no ritrogen or oxygen, which are non-combustible gases. The lime gas contains, at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and at eight-pound pressure, 90 BTU's_ (British content is_higher than that s, which fact is point- domestic or industrial fuel BRITAIN INSANITY RATIO GROWS TO 1 IN 200 Speaker Doubts Value of Steriliza- tion—Advocates Education as Curb. LONDON. July 5._Despite” the fact that in Great Britain there is today one insane person in every 200, con- trasted with one in every 630 in 1870, there is no justification for the theory, so often expressed, that a process of racial degeneration is under way, in the opinion of E. J. Lidbetter of the Jugenics Education Society, express- ed at the recent conference of the National Union of the Professional and Industrial Blind of Great Britain. Self-Extermination Helps. Despite the increase in the number of insane, Mr. Lidbetter said, nature herself was constantly striving to re- gain the normal average, even in the highly organized and complex commu- nities of the present day. Those of weak mentality, he said. attracted cach other, and eventually brought about their own extinction in this Y . < 2 Discussing sterilization, w said had been acclaimed as a cess in some portions of the Unite States, the speaker asserted that it did not serve its purpose altogether. because many insane parents first been parents, their insanity ap- pearing later. Although he suggested that both steriljzation and segrega- tion would prevent the birth of many undesirabies, he advocated education, both of the individual and the public in general, as the final solution of the problem. —— OLD HICKORY” DIVISION PLANNING FOR REUNION Thirtieth Took Active Part in Suc- cessful Assault on Hinden- burg Line. By the Associated Press. CHARLESTON, 8. C., July 5.—Plans are nearing completion for the an- nual reunion here, August 12 and 13, of veterans of the 30th Division, popularly known as the *“Old Hick- v,” which shares with the 27th Division of New Work the honor of breaking the Hindenburg line in northern France. Maj. J. D. E. Mever, United States marshal for the east- ern district of South Carolina and himself an “Old Hickory” veteran, is general chairman of the committee on arrangements. s Although the 30th Division was composed originally of the National Guard organizations of North und South Carolina and Tennessee, thou- <ands of men from other states passed through its ranks in the course of the War, many of them being replace- ments to take the places of the battle sualties. © T he 30th and 27th Divisions never saw the American sector during the War. They were formed into the 2d Army Corps and served with the British armies from the time of their landing in France in the spring of 1918 until after the armistice. For this reason, representatives of the British, Australian and Canadian governments have been invited to the Teunion, to represent the Tommies, Anzacs and Canadians beside whom the “Old Hickory” veterans fought. The French government also has been invited to send a selegation. After the war the 30th Division was returned to the United States by way of Charleston. BERLIN WARS ON SMOKE. Ignorance of Autos and Poor Gaso- line Blamed. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 5.—Airplane pilots fiying over Berlin have so often called attention to the fact that the German metropolis is screened from view by a cloud of soget that the newspapers of the capital are taking up a campaign $ rid the city of the smoke nuisance. One of the chief contributors to the clouds of smoke is the German auto- mobile, it is claimed. Auto science is not the property of large masses of veople as in America, and only a few even of the chauffeurs know how to oil their machines. Then, too, they use an {nferior gasoline.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 5.—A recent police raid upon the public “Asylum for the Shelterless,” corresponding somewhat to the 'American rescue missions ex- cept that it is a municipal institution, yielded some unusual results. It was found that among those raid- ed were 1,204 men and 76 women and girls who had nothing on their per- sons to identify them. In Germany and other European countries one is expected at all times to carry some paper of identification, and its ab- sence is enough to arouse the suspi- cions of the police. These 1,280 persons were held for further investigation, and the follow- ing facts developed: For 157 of the men search warrants have been out for some time; they were wanted for theft, burglary, murder or swindling. |E In the case of twenty-two it devel- oped that they had forged papers. Three men reported dead were dis- covered hale and hearty. Among these was a twenty-seven-year-old shopkeeper whose business had gone bankrupt, and who then had to live off his aged father. When the latter was dismissed from civil service as part of the economy plan of the gov- ernment the young man disappeared and left word that he had committed suicide. — RENT FOR APARTMENTS DROPS OFF IN LONDON Slight Increase Noted Despite Visitors for Empire Exhibition. LONDON, July 5.— Despite _the great inflow of visitors for the Brit- ish empire exhibition at Wembley, furnished houses and flats in London are renting at a slightly lower figure than at the same time last year, ac- cording to estate agents. Flat owners who expected to rent apartments to Wembley visitors at high figures found, to their disap- pointment, that the newcomers pre- ferred to stuy at hotels, and prices dropped shortly after the influx of travelers began One estate agent said the slump in furnished house and flat property was greater than for some years. that BRITISH DISPLAY HOLY LAND SHRINE MINIATURES Exhibit Models of Solomon’s Tem- ple, Apartments of His Wives and Christ’s Childhood Scenes.

Tribe in Canada to Get First Translation of Scripture Into Native Language. By the Associated Press, SASKATOON, Saskdtchewan, July 5. —Blackfoot Indians in Canada will have the first Bible ever written in their language, in fact, the first book of any kind, when Canon H. W Stocken, for many years a missionary to the tribe in the Canadian prairies, completes the work at his home in Victoria, B.C. Canon’ ocken is printing the Blackfoot Scriptures on a small press built for the purpose. He originated the language characters, which are syllabic and resemble shorthand. He started with seventy-two characters, but has reduced them to forty. They are £o easy to master that some mem- bers of the tribe learmed to write in a few evenings. These Indians soon began to write letters to each other and to Canon Stocken. Silas Wolf Collar, an old brave, helped the missionary in his task. e Span Falls Without Warning.
