HUGE CAS WASTE IN 911 FIELD B — Houston. Tex.— (U.K) — Enough i natural gas goes to waste each | day in the East Texas oil field to supply fuel tor Cleveland and New Orleans. The computations were made; from oil men’s estimates that ap-1 proximately 100,000,000 cubic feet of gas is burned dally in flares lighted near producing oil wellsThe gas, after forcing the oil from the well, is piped off to the aide and burned as a safety and a health measure. Often many wells are linked in a network of pipes that carry the gas to a central point where is burns in a continuous flame. From approximations it was computed the wasted gas would supply I fuel for the average daily demand of a city of about 1.700.000 population. Texas' five largest cities. Houston. Dallas. San Antonio, El Paso and Fort Worth have a combined population of 1,058,000. Toss in 10 i cities theWsiie of Galveston and gas burners in all of them could be lighted with the waste fuel' from the East Texas wells. At Beaumont, where approximately 2,000.000 cubic feet of gas i ' is burned daily in flares in the surj rounding district, efforts have been j i made to interest communities in | laying pipelines to the fields and , I bargain for waste gas to be used i for fuel. o_ Rubber Imports Up Montreal. —(U.R)—lmports of rubber into Canada during October, 1933. totalled in value to $581,598, compared with $231,333 in October. 1932. according to figures issued Iby the Dominion Bureau of Statia- | tics. Raw rubber from the United , I States accounted for $390,516 ‘ ! worth of the imports. o , - ~ — Mandolin Jail Companion Haverhill, Mass. - (U.K) — When I George H. Smith was sentenced to ( two months in jail for non-support . ;of his wife, he asked that he be ’ allowed to bring his mandolin with ' him so he could entertain the pris'oners and have them forget their I troubles.
