WHOLESALE ARRESTS MADE! WHOL were trying to do it, at that time. Last week, we received another letter from the same advertising agency, asking a number of favors (gratis), among which was the publication, free, one or more times, of a large advertisement of a well known chemical company which does perhaps more advertising in our newspapers than any other and which is said to be the wealthiest company advertising in them. While we are on this subject we wish also to say that never in all our more than forty years' experience in the newspaper business have so many requests for free space for articles (advertisements and others) been received as in recent months, with the exception of the period covered by the World War. Many of our contemporaries "bite" at these things, with the result that they find it difficult to get sufficient funds to meet their unduly increased weekly expenses and wonder why. Stop the suicidal practice, confreres, and turn down flat the requests of the parasitical advertising agencies, referred to, and refuse free publication to nearly all, if not all, of the dozen and one communications received weekly, the publication of which should be paid for, and in advance, too. Protect your business! Color-Line Refused by Spiritualists Chicago, Ill.—During the convention of the National Spiritualistic association, recently held here at the Auditorium hotel, a fight among the members followed a movement for the segregation of members. Those advocating segregation held that they could not push the work in the South in league with Afro-American associates, nor could the work of the convention be as fruitful with our delegates on an equal footing. Too many of the members, however, objected to the fool movement and it was defended. Rev. Bertha P. Crear of Columbus, O., informed the convention that when we were a little stronger and a little more learned, we would leave. She is wrong in making such a statement. MARY MARY IS WELL FEW years ago Mary Lamb could not walk without her crutches. It was partly because she made Cleveland people think of many others who needed help, that they have raised three great community funds. Today Mary is just one of thousands who are better and happier because of those funds. This year there will be many more poor, crippled, sick, helpless people in Cleveland, who will need part of the fund. Your gift will help them. Carry Your Share IN UNION IS UNION FORTIETH YEAR No.13 Had Him Arrested For Refusing Her Service in His Restaurant—Should Sue Him for $500 Damages Also. Youngstown, O.—Evelyn Davis, actress with the "Shuffle Along" Co., swore out a warrant, last week Thursday afternoon, for the arrest of one F. E. Burdick (white), Champion St. restaurant proprietor, for refusing to serve her with food in his restaurant because of her color or race, or both. He pled "not guilty" and furnished a ball-bond for his appearance in court at the trial. Rahi! for Miss Davis! Our local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., other organizations and our people generally here should rally to her support in this case because its success means much more to us who live here than it does to her. When this case is overwith, Miss Davis should sue Burdick for $500 damages under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights Law. That is the only way to break down local color-lines in public places.

Allen, Associate Justice Elect of the Ohio Supreme Court FIRST WOMAN ON SUPREME BENCH Judge Florence E. Allen of the Common Pleas Court Takes on a New Honor E. Allen, who has been elected to one of the two places on the Supreme Court of Ohio bench, by the independent voters of the state. Judge Allen filed as an Independent after Republicans had nominated Judge law degree from New York University Law School in 1913. From 1914 until 1919 Miss Allen practised in Cleveland. In 1919 she was appointed an assistant county prosecutor and a year later was elected a judge of the Common Pleas court on First woman assistant county prosecutor, first woman Common Pleas judge and now first woman Judge of the Ohio Supreme Court. That's the record of Judge Florence WALTER L. COHEN Appointed Comptroller of Customs — Louisiana's Republican Leader Recognized. New Orleans, La. — Walter L. Cohen, the leading figure in Republican politics of this state, has been appointed by President Harding comptroller of customs with headquarters here. This office carries a salary of $5,000 a year and before the new tariff act went into effect was called the naval ELL or th lo la th ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since E. Allen, who has been elected to one of the two places, on the Supreme Court of Ohio bench, by the independent, voters of the state. Judge Allen filed as an independent after Republicans had nominated Judge Benson W. Hough and Robert H. Day; and Democrats, Stahley Matthews and T. D. Price. The newly elected judge was born in Salt Lake City. She graduated from Western Reserve University in 1904 and received her officer of the Port of New Orleans. For 30 years Mr. Cohen has fought the "illly whites" in this state, turning down many times big offers in money if he would sell out to them. He was registrar of the land office for 16 years appointed by Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt. During Taft's administration the office was moved to Baton Rouge and Mr. Cohen resigned because of business of importance in this city. He is owner and founder of an insurance company here, with 500 men and women in its employ. He is president of the Iroquois club. His appointment will not please the white people of the south, because they have tried to make the President see that the job was too good for a man of color and caused the chief executive to offer Mr. Cohen several other positions which he refused. He stood his ground as he has always in his fight for the race and has won out. He is the first Afro-American to be appointed to office in the South by President Harding. OBITUARY After a hearty meal, Sunday after noon, and apparently in good health James R. Snyder, of 2308 E. 105th St., laid down to rest, sustained an acute attack of indigestion which resulted in cerebral hemorrhage, causing his death, Sunday night, at St. Vincent's Hospital to which he had been removed early in the evening. Mr. Snyder was one of our old, best known and highly esteemed citizens, a man of exemplary habits, a churchman, a good husband and father. The close relatives to survive him are his wife, Mrs. Katherine Snyder, and young son, Stewart Snyder, a student in our local public schools. Both of these have the heartfelt sympathy of Mr. Snyder's host of warm friends and admirers in this city. He was a quiet, modest and unassuming man but one of much more than ordinary A. B. ability as all who knew him were free and frank to admit. Sympathetic, intensely loyal to the race and generous to a fault, he was always willing to help to the limit of his ability as many of our people, our churches and other organizations can attest. In his younger days, Mr. Snyder was an ardent secret organization man, being particularly interested in the Old Fellows, church literary societies and in politics. In this latter he was at one time a very potent factor, serving for years as a deputy county auditor and in other charitable organizations. For years previous to this, he was a trusted employee in the local offices of one of this country's largest express companies. For the last four or five years he had been in the city's employ until recent months law degree from New York University Law School in 1913. From 1914 until 1919 Miss Allen practised in Cleveland. In 1919 she was appointed an assistant county prosecutor and a year later was elected a Judge of the Common Pleas court of this (Cuyahoga) county. She is one of our best judges, being generally recognized as such. Judge Allen has a host of friends among our people of Cleveland because of her real friendship for the race. A WONDERFUL THING Is Greater Cleveland's Community Fund—Our "First Citizen," Mr. Samuel Mather, Leads It. Over a half a million givers are expected to contribute to the $4.5 million which the Community Fund is to raise for the support of Greater Cleveland in 1923. The campaign is from Nov. 18 to 27, inclusive. Last year, 161,000 adults, and 141,000 school children, a total of 302,000 gave to the Fund. The increase in number expected this year, is due to the enlarged territory included in the Fund and the growing interest of those sections already in. The Fund now includes in its activities all territories contiguous to Cleveland. "From reactions we have received from various groups all over the city, the people of Greater Cleveland, count it a privilege to be able to contribute to the Fund," says Fred W. Ramsey, campaign chairman. "The Community Fund tends to break down distinctions of class, color and creed. All religious faiths cooperate without restraint." Last year the Fund showed its tremendous value to the city of Cleveland, over 210,000 people re (Continued on Page 3) when again given a position in the employ of the county. His home was a mecca for persons of many nationalities seeking advice and information and help of various kinds. They, too, will miss him, almost as much as his scores of friends and admirers. Mr. Snyder was 63 years of age at the time of his death and was born and reared in this city. Intermarriage Banned: Manila, P. I. Army officials stationed in these islands have taken the matter of intermarriage between American soldiers and native women in hand and, as a result, all such unions in the future are forbidden. The Filipinos are not "white." The original ruling was particularly directed at the soldiers of the Ninth Cavalry regiment. It was later made plain that no such mixed marriages between white American soldiers and Filipino girls would be permitted. The Ninth cavalry (Afro-Americans) returned to the U.S. more than a month ago. Gen. Hagood in explaining his order says: "Nothing in this order should be construed as a reflection upon the intermarriage of Americans and Filipinos, but long experience has shown that, with few exceptions, the intermarriage of American soldiers and native women is a source of great trouble and unhappiness for all concerned. THE GLOBE THRATER The attractions at this theater have met the desires in full of our theater-goers. That is provided by the fact that any evening you will find it packed to the doors and more people in it than in all the other theaters combined, patronized particularly by our people in the city. This week. The globe is turning them away during the first show of the evening just as they have come every night since opening the Manzana Hall. It is a truly great show and yet makes me hummer and this fare to enjoy the week. If it does, one thing sure and that is it will have to sign some. Do not call us and shout and more week.

O--Following the disturbance at Fulton school, last week Tuesday morning, warrant were issued for the arrest of the following named persons, on charge of inciting a riot: James Leigh, Anna Murphy, Kittle Basey Joe Adkins, Charles Greene, Dr. F. J. Winn, Grace Myers, Trippen, Worley, Muzie Brakle; Charles L. Johnson, Charles Helvey, Paul Roller, George Dewson, Daisy Portis, Dr. T. W. Burton, David Wilborn, Clarence Keller, Ruth Jackson, Vivian Keller, Ida Wilborn, James Lee Sara Sisco, Twila Martin, May F. Martin, Martha Mack, Thomas Gill Ham, Corda Clark, Lulu Morgan Flora McIntire, Clifford, Dudley Pleasie Riggs, Bessie White and Clarence Keller, on assault and battery charges. Emphasis has been put upon the assertion that some officials of the Civil Rights Protect the League were among those accused. The fact is that nearly accused were active in the picketing or in the opposition to the proposed "Jim Crow" school. Apparently their League activities have been the basis of the charges for many of those accused were not even in the neighborhood at the time the disturbance occurred. There is further suspicion that the affair was provoked by Patrolman Elmer Roberts who has been on duty at the Fulton school and whose face was cut by a stone during the trouble. It has been learned that Roberts telephoned for assistance before the pickets had left the headquarters, which accounts for the fact that the emergency squad of police arrived about the time the trouble began. Roberts, who is said to be very prejudiced against our people, has been the cause of a good many complaints, made by pickets, because of his overbearing attitude and disposition to exceed his authority. Anyway, the incident has been seized upon as an excuse for a great parade of force by the police department. Extra police have been put on duty and a machine gun installed at the building, while nearly half of the day-force of police, with two department automobiles, have been employed in escorting the teachers to and from the school-building, each morning and evening. By this and other means is the attempt being made to intimidate and get rid of the women pickets who have been so successful in maintaining our protest and preventing the establishment of a "Jim Crow" school in Springfield. An offer has also been made to withdraw the charges against all but one of those arrested on account of the trouble of last week Tuesday morning. If the League would quit picketing, stop its weekly meetings and not have The Gazette sent to this city. In short case every protest while Supt. Geo. McMord continues his vain attempt to establish the "Jim Crow" school in spite of the disapproval of the court in the temporary injunction granted the request of Judge Gower that the school be closed putting the final decision of the court and the united protests of our people. This proposal was rejected of course, by President Charles L. Johnson of the League who was among those arrested and who was one of those not present when the trouble been The regular Friday evening meeting of the C. R. P. League last week was held in Mr Zion Baptist church. It had been planned to have a concert program instead of speaking but in accordance with the prescience of City Manager E. E Parsons and Assistant City Solicitor Justin Alshul concert numbers alternated speeches. Mr Parsons told the League of his responsibility for peace and order in the community and of how any disastrous result of our fight against the opaque social proposition would reflect unfair upon us and asked the corporation to allow such an event.

Referring to the temporary injunction, issued by Judge Geiger, Mr. Jaymes called attention to the fact that the prayer for an injunction asked that transfers of scholars, made upon the basis of race or color, be declared null and void, that the superintendent be restrained from continuing the present illegal school, and that the entry granting the temporary injunction granted all the things prayed for. After quoting the legal definition of contempt of court, Supt. McCord was charged with treating the court's order with contempt and, while asserting the law-abiding disposition of our people, the City Manager was asked to corporeate by not giving aid and assistance to the superintendent in his resistance to the order of the court; that instead of encouraging disregard of the order, by furnishing police automobiles to convey the teachers to and from the school, that he use his influence to get Supt. McCord to close the school as ordered by the court. Reciting the complaints made against Patrolman Elmer Roberts, Atty. Jaymes suggested that the City Manager send some other and less prejudiced officer to do duty at the Fulton school. Saturday a demurrer was filed by City Solleitor M. Ray Weltkert, on behalf of the school board, claiming that there were not sufficient grounds, for complaint. The motion was argued. Monday morning, by Judge A. N. Summers, former member of the Ohio Supreme Court, representing the plaintiffs, Charles L. Johnson and J. W. Leigh, president and treasurer, respectively, of the C. R. P. League. The court is considering the matter and a decision is daily expected. While the attorney for the school board is taking advantage of every delay the law allows to gain time, Supt. McCord is making every effort to get the children of protesting parents back, in Fulton school. The truant officer has been busy, ordering parents to send their children to the school, under threat of arrest, but with no results. The attendance, Monday, was reported as 24 which is no increase but a loss of at least one pupil in the last week. From nearly 300 to 24 is SOME decrease in attendance, isn't it? Our dauntless women-pickets were "on the job." Monday morning, in greatly increased numbers. 5 Syd Thompson, messenger in the government's Internal Revenue offices in the central post-office building, this city, sits behind a pitiful little table in the hallway on the second floor, near a door to one of the revenue departments several office rooms.

We feel sure that the local correspondent of a theatre rare paper did not intend to ridicule or "poke fun" at Syd, a few weeks ago, when he made that mistake.

Is there any doubt NOW, in the mind of anyone, as to what race paper has the largest circulation and the largest following among our people in Cleveland, and the state of Ohio? "The Old Reliable" Gazette has led for thirty-nine years and will continue to do so. Several of the older members of Mt. Zion Cong. church are bitterly opposed to acquiring the Jew i w h Temple property, corner E. 55th St. and Central Ave., claiming it is too large and heavy a burden for Mt. Zion's congregation to carry. The Gazette has received several communications to that effect. Mrs. Emma Greenbrier Buchanan of Los Angeles, Cal., who has been visiting relatives in the city for several weeks, the guest of her niece, Mrs. Mabel Holmes Jackson of Hudson Ave., N. E., left, Wednesday night, for home. Her brother, Mr. Geo, Greenbrier, of Elk Creek, Va., who came here two weeks ago to see his sister had other relatives, will return home in a few days. Benjamin Henderson, age 35, of Arizona, who is alleged to have shot to death Ella Jackson, his landlady, during a quarrel because the woman did not have his breakfast prepared for him, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge, Tuesday. The shooting took place at the woman's home, 2341 E. 22d St., Oct. 1. In the year 1910, a young man came to Cleveland filled with ambition and perseverance. The editor of The Gazette was acquainted with him before his arrival in the city—when he was in the newspaper business in western Pennsylvania. The young man, Dr. F. D. Webster, came here as a chiropractor. After making good in his profession, by changing sickness to health in his patients, he found that the white schools of chiropractic were closed to the race. 1918 he opened his school of chiropractic and today the student body is large and the free clinic averages 50 patients. Elsewhere in this paper, you will find an advertisement of Dr. Webster's school. Write and get literature on this great and increasing profession. One of our most promising local vocalists, Mrs. Eugenia Brewer-Mayo, dramatic mezzo-soprano, soloist and directress of St. Mark's Presbyterian church-choir and a student of the Cleveland School of Music, has successfully filled another engagement with the American Woodmen, in Pittsburgh, as soloist in the play, "Feast in the Forest," written by the organization's national musical director, Prof. Wm. Blue. Mrs. Mayo's first selection, "Old Kentucky Home," was rendered in costume in the first act of the play. In the second act, she wrote a new manuscript entitled "Angelico," written for Artie Matthews, director of the Cosmopolitan School of Music of Cincinnati. This superb number "took the house by storm" and Mrs. E. B. Mayo answered by singing the waltz-song, "Carrilma." She was at her very best and swept everything before her. Our people of this city are surely furnishing their quota of soloists of all kinds, these days. DAYTON.

Other services include child care, health, employment, protection, hospitals, recreation and character building. Over half of the Community Fund goes for the welfare of the children. If an orphanage had been established in the year 1776 for 13 children and had been kept filled to capacity continuously since, the care thus given would only equal the care given in the past year to children in the orphanages and of the hospitals supported by the Cleveland Community Fund. A total of 45,000 individuals were received as patients into the beds of the hospitals supported by the Fund in the past year. If this number of persons should be placed on stretches and carried in single line, allowing 10 feet for each stretcher with its bearers, the line would be 86 miles long and would extend from Cleveland to Mansfield. Picture three of the hotel hallrooms such as those at the Cleveland, Hollanden, Statler and Winnon Halls. Those rooms are comfortably filled with food-laden tables and surrounded with children at their meal. This picture would visibly present the number of children who, each morning, noon and night, are seated around the dining table of the children's homes in the Cleveland Community Fund. The number of people served last year by the 12 relief agencies financed by the Community Fund would equal the combined population of Lake and Lorain Counties. "The Community Fund deserves gifts in full measure, pressed down and running over from every Clevelander", says Mr. Ramsey. The officers of the Fund are: Samuel Mather, honorary chairman; Charles E. Adams, general chairman; Warren S. Hayden, first vice-chairman and chairman of the executive committee; Paul L. Felss, second vice-chairman and chairman of the investigating committee; J. R.

Francois Descamps, manager of Carpentier, and M. Cuny, whom Siki assaulted on Wednesday night, appealed to the federation for clemency for him, but were overruled. President Rousseau of the federation wished to make Siki's period of exile from the prize ring two years instead of nine months, but finally gave in. The meeting of the federation broke up at 3 a.m. As Siki came out he was asked what he thought of the decision. "All right, let them take my title," exclaimed the big fellow, good naturedly. "I don't care. It went to my head and made me do some silly things. They can't take away my name of Battling Siki. Plain Battling Siki is good enough for me." Tomabawks Tie Baldys. The Tomahawk semi-pro football eleven got a little revenge Sunday, when they held the Baldy Billiards to a scoreless tie in a hotly contested game at Tate field. Last season these two teams battled to a tie in the finals for the city title but several weeks ago the Baldys trounced the locals badly so the Tommies are pretty well blessed with holding the Billiards even though the Tommies played in great style but the Baldy defense tightened when its goal line was threatened. Kem Houser starred for the Billiards, and Cyrus and Garner, the Tommics' Afro-American members, starred for them, particularly Cyrus. The game scheduled for last Saturday was not played because the Akron Marlowes failed to show to the Royal inn Tigers, last year's state. The Tigers were to start the game with Gaskins fullback, Morrison and Garner halfbacks, Cyrus quarter, Hull center, Holmes and Hoy guards, Hudson and Bundy tackles, Forbes and Gardner ends. Will Perkins Honored! Will Perkins, noted trainer and part owner in several horses now running on the Kentucky race course known as Latonia, won a signal victory, recently, with Radio who upset the dope at two and one-quarter miles and won the "Latonia Cup" race. The victory brought to Perkins $7,520 and with it went the large silver cup, emblematic of the victory which was donated by the Kentucky Jockey club. Governor Morow of Kentucky made the presentation to Mr. Perkins in person before a large crowd and said: "Before one of the greatest gatherers that ever crowded the LaTona race track under an autumn sun a great horse has won a great race. A contest which tried the bone and sieve and all else the courageous heart of a thoroughbred. Radio, his ownership a partnership, one belonging to a Kentucky Clay, the other to yourself, a black man of Kentucky. This horse won a great race in a clean way and above all else the ever cool sportsman. I am glad to deliver to you this cup on behalf of the Kentucky Jockey club and in the name of all those who love a thoroughbred. The black man in Kentucky loves a race horse. He is first at their side at foaling time. He dreams about them at night, songs of them in his cabin, gives them always the love of his heart, the skill of his hand and the training of his experience. You trained the winner of this race and in presenting this great horse to you. You recognized of the recognition of every true sportsman as expressing their true appreciation for the blackman who has toled for that thoroughbred, who has given him loyal and devoted service and who has never betrayed a trust. I congratulate both of the owners; I congratulate you, Mr. Perkins, as trainer, and I congratulate Radio, the horse." Tate Baseball Co. Affairs a Mess. According to one of the stock- holders who has talked with the receiver, the Tate Baseball Co. is over $20,000 "in the hole" and that its creditors will be lucky to realize 25 per cent of what they feel they are coming to a tion of the grant over $20,000 "in the hole" and that Strunko has a big (second) mortgage on the part of Tate Field the company was trying to purchase, that about $1,000 is still due bail- players, that Robinson has a judgment for either three or five thousand dollars, secured in the courts when the receiver was appointed a few weeks ago, and that there is no insurance on the fence and grand-stand because they are wood; the whole (white) addition of the Tate Baseball Co. and is likely to get the whole thing unless over $20,000 cash can be raised by the stockholders at once.

The federal authorities have obtained hundreds of affidavits from people who claim to have been misled and defrauded and have lost all their life savings as a result of their investment in the Black Star line, of which Garvey is president. He is also president of the U. N. I. A. The authorities express themselves as confident of securing a conviction.

Averne, L. I.-Speaking on the subject of lynching at Mt. Carmen Baptist church, John E. Robinson. editor of the N. Y. Amsterdam News, bitterly condemned the white clergy "who could hear the wallings of the Armenians four thousand miles away, yet were deaf to the cries of horror from men and women burned at the stake right at their own door." He also sharply arraigned our clergy "who were widemouted in the enforcement of the 188th (Prohibition) amendment, while perfectly silent about the 15th amendment which meant human rights" adding, "they are what I call weak-kneed cowards and hypocrites." Shields Appointment Protested. New York City—The N.A.A.C. P. has made public a protest to President Harding against the proposed appointment to the U. S. Supreme court of Senator John K. Shields of Tennesse. It is based upon remarks alleged to have been made by Shields, disclosing gross prejudice against the race, such as would unfit him for the office of supreme court justice. Part of the message to President Harding is as follows: "In the New York Call of Oct. 28, Senator Shields is quoted by Mrs. Blatch as being opposed to giving the ballot to "nigger women" and as stating: "You see, we couldn't treat the wenches as we do the men; we just club the niggers if they come to the polls." Arthur Brisbane Says— Arthur Brisbane says, "Monsieur Blink's black prize figures memorial, via Paris, becomes an acknowledged figure of world importance, when he knocked out Carpenter. He was to fight Joe Beckett, white English champion, but the British government forbid it. The British home office officially declares that 'such contests, between black and whites, are against national interests.' That means 'part of Britain's work is keeping many black, yellow and half-black people in their places. It is necessary that black men should look up to white men. They cannot do that, with the white man, lying at the black man's feet, knocked out." In other words, 'we may not be able to beat you black gentleman, but we can forbid you to fight white men.' Why not stop prizefighting, black and white? Would that also be a blow at white civilization?" That speaker advocated a square deal." "Yes?" "And got a round of applause." Every dog has his day, but like man, they always want more. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods.

NOVEMBER 18, 1922 SHALE BEDS RICH IN VALUABLE OILS TESTS SHOW GASOLINE YIELD IS TEN PER CENT Colorado, Utah and Wyoming Can Supply Billions of Gallons of Motor Fuel, Ammonia, Etc. In view of the fact that crude oil is steadily increasing in price and that the demand for gasoline is growing larger every day, it may be some comfort to the owners of motor cars, to know that a sort "safety valve" is provided by nature in the shale beds of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. When the price of gasoline goes just so high-high enough to make profitable the working of these almost inexhaustible shade deposits—the process of extracting the various ingredients of which they are composer, will begin on a large scale. This shale contains materials which, when heated, may be converted into crude oil, gas and ammonia. The high cost of distilling oil from shale as compared to the cost of producing oil from the wells of Oklahoma and other states has thus far prevented the development in this country of such an industry. And it may continue to prevent it for some time, but sooner or later this great source so supply will be utilized to supplement the decreasing production from the regular oil fields. The oil taken from these shale beds is very much the same as that which is being produced from wells in this country at the rate of more than 250,000,000 barrels a year. When refined by ordinary methods, the shale oil yields an average of about 10 per cent gasoline, 35 per cent kerosene, and a large amount of paraffin. The gas, which is of a high grade, will be sufficient to furnish all the heat required to distill the crude oil from the shale. A most valuable by-product of the distillation is ammonia and may be utilized in the manufacture of commercial fertilizer or other nitrogen compounds, as the market demands. The United States Geological Survey has examined large areas of the shale in northwestern Colorado and adjoining portions of Utah and Wyoming, and has made many tests. Some beds of shale that are several feet thick will yield more than a barrel of oil to the ton of shale, and one bed six inches thick will yield more than two barrels of crude oil to the ton of shale. One ton of this shale should therefore yield nearly ten gallons of gasoline by the present commercial methods of gasoline extraction, and still better yields may be had by improved methods. Scarcely any attention has been paid to this shale because the quantity of petroleum produced from wells in this country has been sufficient to satisfy all demands, but for more than 50 years the oil shale industry of Scotland has been a very important one. In a recent year more than 8000 men were employed in the industry in that country, yet the average wield of oil per ton of shale was much less than that which appears possible from the shale of this country. It has been estimated that in Colorado alone there is enough shale, in beds from three to four feet thick, and richer than the shale being mined in Scotland, to yield twenty billion barrels of crude oil, from which at least two billion barrels of gasoline may be extracted by ordinary methods now in use. As was stated in the reply of Secretary Lane to a senate resolution on the subject of gasoline: "The development of this enormous reserve simply awaits the time when the price of gasoline or the demand for other distillation products warrants the utilization of this substitute source. This may happen in the future. At all events these shales are likely to be drawn upon long before the exhaustion of the petroleum fields." FOUND OLDEST HUMAN SKULL Charles Dawson, discoverer of the Plitdown skull, is dead at Lewes, England. He was a lawyer and was 52 years old. Seldom has any discovery aroused such interest in the world of science as that by Dawson of the Plitdown skull. Walking along a road from Lewes, Dawson noticed that it had been recently mended by peculiar joints which he traced to a pit near Plitdown Common. On examining the pit he found that laborers had dug out a "thing like a cocoanut," and thrown the pieces on a rubbish heap. From that rubbish heap the greater part of a human skull was recovered, and the lower part subsequently dug from the undisturbed gravel. It is generally believed to be the skull of a woman, and the geological evidence of the strata in which it was found shows that she lived at least as long ago as when the bed of the North Sea and the English Channel were dry land. The skull was the oldest ever found, and belonged to the lowest type of human beings. The woman could not speak more than a chimpanzee, which she probably resembled, the certain features in the brain which characterize the human race were just beginning to show. She probably belonged to a race of wandering hunters, who had no domestic animals, who were without knowledge of fire, and who ate uncooked, unwashed vegetables and roots.

CAPTURES BEARS BY RUSE Showman Uses Sweetened Water to Lure Performers Back While a small circus was playing towns in California some time ago, three of its trained bears walked through the doorway of their cage one morning and proceeded along the countryside, much to the alarm of the populace. Although they had been frightened by the sting of bird shot fired from the shotguns of their observers, the animals were captured single handed by and with comparative ease by one of the showmen. In the regular act the bears are accustomed to drink sweetened water from long-necked bottles. With this it mind the showman placed a number of flasks of the liquor in a motor car and pursued the fugitive trio. After some little persuasion he succeeded in enticing the bears into the tonneau, where they spied the store of bottles and commenced consuming their contents while the car was driven back to the circus grounds—Popular Mechanics.
