DELAY IN DRILLING CAUSES LOSS IN OIL PRODUCTION. Delay Indrilling into an oil aturcturu or sands after they have been opened up may cause losses of from 5 to 50 per cent in the ultimate amount of oil produced from the well, according to a statement issued by the United States Bureau of Mines. Oil is an underground nomad. It moves through the deep sand layers, propelled by the gas pressure behind it, ever seaehing for the opening through which it may spout or be pumped to the surface. The first wells penetrating the sand operate under high pressure, while those drilled after the gas pressure has been reduced almost without exception come in for a much smaller initial production. In fields where small tracts form a “checker-board", drilling in any one tract forces the owner of the adjoining tract to being an immediate drilling program. If he delays drilling, he will see oil which might have been his coming from his neighbor's well and the longer he delays drilling his offset well the less oil will his well yield. It is only when a structure has not been “taped" and has no faults along the edges through which the oil may seep that it is possible to conserve oil underground. One of the “game laws" of the oil fields corresponds to an English lawregarding deer which provided that, no matter how many differently-owned pieces of land the deer crossed in its flight, it was the property of the owner of the land on which it was killed. Regardless of the number of tracts under which the oil may pass in a structure. it belongs to the owner of the well through which it leaves the ground. The men in the oil fields know this and know- also that the early driller gets the most oil. If an owner of a tract neglicts to drill and thereby loses the oil which passes under his land to another well, he must accept his loss without complaint. It is an axiom of the oil fields that, if a man wants oil. he must drill. Studies made by an engineer of the I nited States Bureau of Mines, covering a great many wells in Oklahoma. Louisiana and California, show that the loss due to delay indrilling is in places as much as 50 per cent. The seriousness of this los in show-n in the following extracts from his report, now in manuesript form and to- be published in the future as a Bureau of Mines bulletin: “During the early life of a poo), wells are brought in with large initial production. As the pool becomes older, there is a marked decrease in initial production of new wells due to a fall in gas pressure. Naturally, a loss in recovery per acre results, being due to drainage of gas and also in some cases to drainage of oil. The drainage factor is important to the operator if his property has not been protected properly by line wells. In order to obtain the maximum amount of oil from a tract in a pool where there are other operators, a fast drilling program is necessary, thus obtaining wells of large initial production and consequently large ultimate production.” In three typical fields of Oklahoma, the Adair pool, the Bartlesville-Dewey district and the Nowata district, losses in total recovery of oil from adjoining wells varied from 5 to 53 per cent, when all conditions were apparently similar except time of drilling. The greatest difference was between two adjoining wells, one of which was drilled in 1905 and had an ultimate production of 5,785 barrels per acre and the other was drilled in 1906 for an ultimate production of 2.700 barrels per acre. Delay of one year in drilling caused a loss of 3,085 per acre to the second driller. Another example cited is in Betina Vista Hills. Midway Feld, California. Here the ultimate recovery for a certain drilled-up tract which is at least as favorably situated as an adjoining drilled-up tract, is estimated to be 24 per cent less per acre, due apparently to a delay of two years in drilling. In the Hewitt field of Oklahoma, four wells on ten acres all came in for more than 500 barrels per day initial production; one and one-half months later a neighbor's offset well came in for 220 barrels the first 24 hours, while four months later, an offset well only made 120 barrels the first 24 hours. “It is evident from the records,” the Bureau of Mines report says, that the production of oil from these wells is directly dependent upon the gas pressure included in and associated with the oil. 'The loss in tlje initial production of wells due to delay in drilling, reflects the loss in pressure and varies with the number and proximity of producing wells in the same pool, the size of the pool, and the time of delay in drilling.” ■■ e- - thousand people were killed at grade crossings in 1921?

COATS RESEMBLE CAPES /TA \ F ■ //fl ’ I*l »»lit i I iWig |* | 1 i i j | IB.Lp H / ■«' I p 1I fl JI | sm s Lx*w I One must look twice at many a spring wrap to determine whether it is a cape, pure and simple, or a more complex wrap. The more like a cape it looks the better its chances of winning approval from the fashionables. The cape has always stood women in good stead, nevertheless it will not hold her allegiance season after season without modifications, and we have them in the cape-wrap. For general wear the spring offers, among others, the graceful wrap shown here. I It is made of tricotine and has a large cqllar trimmed with applied loops of silk braid. At the back, loose, pendant panels of the cloth are finished with silk cords ending in slender tassels. Something between a sleeve and a slit at each aide of the front allows freedom for the hands and arms. Altngether this is a smart I and practical for general wear I and is developed la several coatings and colors. i

FOR ALL BACKGROUNDS MINMVM W * J CTKFI ft If Mary has a little coat, made of light velours, no matter where our Marj’ goes the coat will be there sure. Anyway, it will fit In with any background, especially If it happens to be in a light color, as tan, gray, or beige and resembles the coat shown here. Note the ample lines in this model, its generous, tlaring sleeves and large buttons. For ornament it has corded seams and silk-embroidered arrows and it is provided with a scarf-collar ending in a tassel.

now. You may use this letter to help other girls, as the letters in your book helped me.” —Rose Waidner, 3018 Roseland Place, Baltimore, Md. That is the thought so often expressed in letters recommending Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. These women know what they have suffered, they describe their symptoms and state how they were finally made well. Just plain statements, but they want other women to be helped. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a medicine made from medicinal roots and herbs, and without drugs, to relieve the sickness women so often have, which is indicated by backache, weak feelings, nervousness, and no ambition to get anything done or to go anywhere. It has helped many women. Why not try it? I
