WL THRENEND " INTEUS DL B Gov. Sterling’s Orders Car- riet! Through Eastern Fields by Cavalrymen. By the Associated Press. KILGORE, Tex., August 18.—Mount- | #d cevalrymen of the Texas National | Guard rode through the great !ll‘!l.X Texas oll fields this morning carrying to operators the military ultimatum, *Shus down by noon or go to jail.” The order was issued by Gen. Jacob P. Wolters, commander of the 56th Brigede, who took military control of four East Texas counties at ¢ am. yes- terdey, under a martial law IYll"m:lm\-- tion of Gov. Ross 8. Sterling. The Governor acted to stop production, un- til the State’s new conservation laws can he put into effect, of a field which oflmer say has demoralized the industry thl‘olflh its_overproduction. Wi 86 hours after occupation troop officers anticipated the shutdown order would be practically 100 per cent effeciive. Gov. Sterling’s action followed closely that of Gov. William H. Murray of Oklahoma two weeks ago in shutting down Oklahoma's wells by martial law. ‘The Kansas Public Service Commission #lso has threatened to shut down wells, Leuders of the industry praised Gov. Bteriing's action and said it, together with Gov. Murray’s shutdown, should | bring about an increase in the price of crude oil. The general top price now is 52 cents & barrel. Seventy-four companies, including all the major concerns Wer!tlni"ln field. had closed down compl night. Scattered wells in secluded woods off the beaten trail were still running, howryer, and it was to these points that cavalrymen were taking Gen. Wol- ter's, ultimatum. Guardsmen had or- ders {o accept no excises. Twxops had been instructed not to smoit except in their own camps. as extretae caution was taken in shutting dow:i operations to prevent leakage and conseouent fires. A fear that thousands of oil work- ers would be thrown out of employment throuwgh the closedown were largely dis- | I counted by operators. Drilling was con- tinulrg as usual, with no ban on bring- ing ™ new wells if they were immedi- |} ately shut down. Most companies plan- ned to care for employes during the shutiown period.

Artificial exercise for men cripples may be a possibility of future. One of the major benefits of exer- cise is to ventilate the body by in- ducing quicker and faster breathing. The same effects are produced, but in lesser degree, by breathing carbon di- oxide in its greatest endurable con- centration for about a quarter of an hour, it is reported in the Journal of Physiology by Drs. J. H. Barcroft and R. A. Magnolia of the physiological laboratory of Cambridge University. They experimented with persons in- closed in an approximately airtight lass comparment where the carbon sloxld! concentration in the atmos- phere could be controlled. ‘They found that it was possible for a person to endure & 7.5 per cent con- centration of this gas for about 15 minutes and that this increases total body ventilation about one-half as much as the same period of moderate exercise. The gas, however, caused some shock to the system which is not caused by physical exertion. The experimenters conciuded that the best way to take exercise is to “exercise” instead of lying in bed while somebody turns on the gas, but they established the similar effect of the two processes.
