PANHANDLE NOW NO MORE THAN A-1 GAS SPOUT Billions of Dollars Are Invested in Lighter-Than-Air Substance. (Continued From Page One) strained under such circumstances. The gas always was there, coursing through the bowels of the earth seeking an outlet. Tracing the extent of the gas producing territory on a map, the name of the territory Is self-explanatory. The outlet of this area will do for a rough sketch of the handle of a pan; a replica of a pan which some cowpuncher had held over a fire while he farmed the smoke away from his face with his sombrero. Then it Began to Happen Almost immediately upon Professor Gould's discovery, which proved to be the richest natural gas field in the world, things began to happen. The word of the Oklahoma pedagogue's rich strike was carried to the adjacent country by steed, auto, telegraph and telephone. Even the tumble-weed careening in from the prairies with more gusto than usual seemed to be endeavoring to tell just what happened. The strike nurtured anew activity. Persons who magically jump from one part of the country to another on the heels of the news of a discovery of an embryonic gas or oil well field traipsed off to Texas. New riches were to be found. All that was needed was a small initial capital. Trains floured forth hundreds and thousands of these individuals who hoped to gain access to easy street through a fortuitous detour. A leasing boom started. Land Values Went Soaring Land values, as is always the case In an Instance of this sort, zoomed up to unheard of values. Ranchmen who had areas in juxtaposition to Professor Gould's strike neglected their chores for the nonce and became visionaries. They owned the land, let the gas men come and lease It—at a price. Promoters and gas and oil work- j era, a floating population anyway,j quit their connections in other fields and staked their all in the new El Dorado. Twelve miles away from the gas fields the promising city of Amarillo was hard pressed housing all the immigrants. Once a normal cow and wheat country today it is quite a lively little town with a population of approximately 45,000. To it went the distinction of being the first city to be served with natural I gas piped from the Panhandle field. | Yesterday a land which grew bus- j falo grass. Today a veritable gas spout. That is the Texas Panhandle.

ON the first day of the week of His passion—known as Palm Sunday —Jesus, with His disciples, left Bethany for Jerusalem. Nearing its gates, the Lord dispatched two of His disciples to bring Him an ass and her colt on which, to fulfill an ancient prophecy, the Messiah was to enter the Holy City. As the procession drew near its destination, the adoring multitude strewed the Lord’s path with their garments and with palm branches, shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed be the King who cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest!” When a turn in the road revealed the city In all Its splendor, the paean of triumph grew louder; but Jesus, envisioning the awful fate of Jerusalem and its inhabitants, wept. Later, while Jesus was being led to the Temple, Pharisees witnessed with impotent rage the great homage paid Him. After a short visit to the Temple, the Lord and His apostles returned to Bethany, to spend the night. * * NEXT: Jesus drives money changers from Temple.

THERE are numerous questions coming in from time to time seeking information about control-lable-pitch propellers. So I’m going to explain them. The “pitch” of a propeller is the angle at which the blades are set. If they're set at a low angle, the propeller will turn very fast on the ground and permit the ship to get off in a hurry. But as soon as the plane is in the air, it will not be able to achieve its true high speed . . . the low angle of the propeller will not allow it to take a proper grasp of the air. And then again, if the angle of pitch is set very high, the propeller will turn very slowly on the ground and the ship will require a long ground run to get off. All this is the case with the fixedpitch propeller, where no change in the angle of the blades can be made while the “prop” is turning. Now, with the controllable-pitch propeller, howeved, a mechanism has been developed which wall permit the pilot, by pulling a lever, to set the blades at a low angle . . , that will give him the quick getaway. And then when the ship is off the ground, he can adjust the lever again, increasing the pitch of the blades, and pick up speed. With a fixed-pitch propeller, the airplane is very much like an auto without a gear shift . . . capable of just the one speed. Where the

plane is equipped with a control-lable-pitch propeller its performance can be compared to that of the auto with the regulation gear-shift. Without the controllable-pitch propeller, stratosphere flights—such as Wiley Post’s—would be impossible. It is necessary to adjust the “prop” to “bite” the thin air found at high altitudes. QUESTION: What are control horns? Small levers extending out from the rudder or ailerons, to which are attached the control cables from the rudder bar.

Want to Look Young? The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you must get at the cause—there’s no need of having a sallow complexion—dark rings under your eyes—pimples—a bilious look in you rface—dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound as a substitute for calomel to act on the intestines, which he gave to his patients for years. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are gentle in their action yet always effective. They help bring about that natural buoyancy which all should enjoy by clearing the system of impurities. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are known by their olive color. 15c, 30c, 60c.—Advertisement.

‘DESTROY WAR!' PLEADS ELLIOTT AT CONVENTION Purdue President Delivers Address at Session of Red Cross. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 9.—“ Destroy War!” was the battle-cry suggested to the American Red Cross by President Edward C. Elliott of Purdue University in his address at the annual convention here yesterday. Citing the humanizing efforts of the Red Cross in past wars. Dr. Elliott advised "that the only way really to humanize war is to destroy war.” “Though war be the great and instinctive delusion of civilized man,” Dr. Elliott continued, “we must not delude our enlightened selves as to Its ever-present reality. "At the moment the world hears in the distance the threatening discords of the battle drums. “Whatever peace there is in the world today is the peace of forceexplosive force. “In whatever direction we look, there we see signs that on an instant notice may be translated into signals that the Red Cross has been called back to battle duty.”

MEAT PRICES WONT SLIP, IS AAAFORECAST No Drop in Sight, Says Consumers’ Counsel in Washington. By United Press WASHINGTON. April' 9.—High meat prices are going to scourge American housewives for at least another year, despite lessening of the Midwestern drought, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration said today. Dr. Calvin B. Hoover, AAA Consumers’ Counsel, said rains in the Dakotas and Montana had ameliorated the drought situation “very much,” and that “the picture is more encouraging now than in a long time.” His attitude on meat prices, however, was indicated when he was asked how long it would be before a man on an average salary could afford to eat bacon again, “That depends entirely on how much you like bacon,” he said. Buying strikes of housewives, particularly in Los Angeles where groups of women have boycotted butcher shops and engaged in hairpulling frays, failed to draw any comment. He said he had no advice nor suggestions to give. The only cheerful spot in Dr.

Hoover's discourse was his carefully hedged prediction that food price! may be lower next year. “Prices may be lowered materially next year—if the drought situation doesn't get worse,” he said. “For the employed part of the population, prices and capacity to pay are in fair balance. “But until urban purchasing power is increased by re-absorption of the unemployed into industry, farm prices will with difficulty remain at their pdesent levels as more farm products are sem to market.”
