One of the purposes of the expedition was to determine the extent of, the oil area. This we accomplished. “Our mission, however, was to de- termine the course of the ofl rather than whether it could be produced in paying quantities. “Our report will be made to the United States Geological Survey, ‘Washington.” —_— To train fingers to overcome the tandency to move in unison a French- man has iInvented a machine’ into ‘which a planist’s digits are strap and then xercised independently of each other. ped | Erle, Pa. Jewelers Cache $20,000,000 Stones Periled at Session Special Dispatch to Tne Star. RICHMOND, Va., September 17.— The National Assoclation of Jewelers has been in session here for several days and $20,000,000 worth of precious stones and platinum had n as- sembled here in order that the dealers from all parts of the country might have a look at the collection. But the display was not made be- cause of a rumor that gunmen had also headed for the city in order to get a look, too. At any rate, the insurance companies carrying policies on the gems made it known that they were fearful of the movement, and, while the desire was to permit those interested to have a chance to see the dlamonds. the de- cision was reached that it would be best not to expose them to general in- spection and they were taken under heavy guard and placed in vaults.
