Imprniioni and information rained ai a mult of th* trip arr told in aerie of til articles, of which this W tbr Aftb. BY VINCENT LYONS, Timrt financial Editor You have drilled a well and got gas. So what! You have invested anywhere from $15,0C0 to $25,000 and all you have to show for it is a series of gadgets which potentially might be the means of getting hack your money. An unfailing sense of economics tells you that you can't construct a pipe line to a town a hundred or so miles away and sell gas there. By the same token the livestock farmer might build a railroad to haul his product to market. And it is here that the pipe line company enters the scene. At present there are nine of them transporting natural gas out of the Texas Panhandle. Prom the richest gas lafid in the world these pipe lines carry their load as much as 1000 miles away. Gas moves to Chicago, Denver, Kansas City and other cities, figuratively thumbing its nose as it flows past the city gates of Indianapolis. 4 Cents Per Thousand Feet The business of the pipe line company originates from the time a well is drilled and it begins to take the gas which that well yields. In virtually all instances the pipe line companies are affiliated with separate production units. The latter produce the gas and sell it to the former .who, in turn, transmit it to market. Right at this point we come in conflict with a tantalizing question. What is the price which the pipe line company pays to the production company for the gas it recovers? The writer took up this vexatious problem with quite a fewr gas men in the Texas Panhandle, and the consensus was that the average price paid to the producing company is a little above 4 cents a 1000 cubic feet. Under the terms of the lease between the land owner and the company which drills a well, the former is entitled to Ik of the revenue as a royalty. Thus, the producing company, this arrangement would receive 3’i cents and the land owner would receive l i cent for each 1000 cubic feet of gas extracted. Keep Tab on Pipe Lines Asa matter of fact, however, where the land is particularly desirable as much as 6 and 7 cents Is paid for gas. The land owner can make sure that there is no “chiseling’’ going on through charts, attached to the well, which automatically indicate the amount of gas which has been taken every 24 hours by the pipe line. The main lu?e of the pipe line company is the focal point of the business of transmission. From this point -lateral lines stretch out over a wide area gathering in as much gas as is needed to supply customers hundreds of miles away. Garnered, it speeds away at the rate of about 25 miles an hour to its destination, which might be any place. About even- eight miles along the j main line are located gate valves, i These instruments are utilized to shut off the flow of fias in the event that some accident or necessity demands it. By spacing these valves every eight miles interruption of service to consumers is considerably limited as the flow of gas would con - tinue to move up to the point where the gate valve has been closed. Regulators Are Provided In addition the pipe lines have at strategic points, and particularly at the junction of town feeder lines, regulators which regulate and control the pressure of gas passing through the gas lines. Compressing stations are one of the intriguing parts of the transmission of gas. To understand their importance it is well to consider one pipe line—the Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Cos. This line tarverses 850 miles front the Panhandle to its junction at the Ulinois-Indiana border. In order to reach that distance gas. while it has an inherent flowing power of its own, needs a lift every so often when traveling such long distances. This boosting is provided by compressing stations. The Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Cos. has four of these stations along its line. At e ich of thtee stations all the gas is gathered in, treated and given a boost so that it will flow steadily to consumers. Trouble Shooters Alert In the process, however, the temperature of the gas Is raised a few notches. In order to send it on its way in the same temperature as when it was drawn into the compressing station the gas is carried to a cooling system where the heat is reduced. Imbued with new power the gas flows along for hundreds of miles until it reaches another compressing station. At that point it is subjected to the exactly same treatment. In between these widely separated compressing stations walk the •‘trouble-shooters. - ’ To them is en- | trusted the duty of making a daily survey of the line, ever alert for pending trouble. In the sparsely populated territories the company's own telephone system runs along the same route as the pipe line. The “trouble-shooter.’’ sensing danger, can immediately tap the phone system at any hour of the day and night and bring a corp of workers to the scene within a comparatively short time. Airport Concession Awarded A one-year contract for the Municipal Airport restaurant concession was given to Edward Grebe. 2953 N. New Jersey-st. by the Board of Public Works yesterday.

r pilE Wednesday of His last week of public life was spent by Jesus A in seclusion, perhaps at the Bethany home where He had been making His stay these final, trying days, and where His devoted followers. Martha, Mary and Lazarus, ministered to Him. He may have passed this day alone, preparing Himself for the end; or in communion with His apostles, bracing them against the coming days. But in Jerusalem, the multitude looked for Him in vain. On this day the Sanhedrists met at the home of Caiaphas t-o perfect their plans to bring about Jesus’ downfall. They were afraid to take Him by force or in the Temple; for this would anger the people. If only they could seize Him secretly and get the Romans to make away with Him! The solution was at hand. They were told a man craved admittance. It was Judas, a disciple of Jesus. “What will you give me,” he asked, “if I will deliver Him unto you?” And, for 30 pieces of silver (about $19.50 of our money), Judas agreed to betray his Master. • • • NEXT: The Last Supper.

FAR NORTHERN LANDS OFFER RESTFUL DATS Cruise to Leave New York June 12 Will End on July 15. “The Land of the Midnight Sun holds many pleasant surprises for the traveler,” states R. A, Kurtz, manager, travel department, the Union Trust Company, 120 E. Market -st.

A cruise itinerary includes stops at distant Arctic outposts rarely visited by ordinary modem vessels; North Cape, “rocky skyscraper of the vast Arctic”; Hammerfest, which boasts the polar regions as a setting for its black eider ducks and golden codfish; the majestic Norwegian fjords, world-famed for their scenic beauty and the stupendous grandeur of the surrounding mountains; two busy cities of Norw-ay, and the thriving seaport, Gothenburg, Sweden. This bustling city will be the travelers’ introduction to the charm of Sweden, where peaceful people offer a hospitable welcome to a land of quiet beauty, distinctive culture and unsurpassed vacation and amusement possibilities. All these lands of the Vikings are full of interest, for their historic and scenic background makes them a marvelous summer vacation land; and their accessibility to the continent enables any one to plan an itinerary with the charming Scandinavian countries as a starting point. The cruise provides visits to the interesting ports of the Northland and. on shipboard, a distinctive atmasphere of Viking charm that is evident as soon as one crosses the gangplank. The combination of a glamourous itinerary and the Viking ship will make a never-to-be-for-gotten vacation experience. The Viking ship, the Drottningholm, will depart from New York June 12. and will return to that port July 15.

AWNINGS WARD OFF DAMAGING GLARE DF SUN Manager of Thorp Company Explains Service Available. “With the advent of warm weather it soon will be time to put up awnings and sun shades." stated Harry K. Thorp, owner and manager of the Thorp Awning Shoppe, Inc., today. AH awnings manufactured by this company are custom-made so as to insure an exact fit and to give satisfaction to the customer Ihe Thorp company also makes a study of the customer’s house and grounds and in this way suggests the type and color of awning which best will follow the lines of construction of the home, the doorwav, the porches, and the slant of the roof. It also will use a color which blends into the surrounding atmosphere and lends charm to the other outstanding features of beauty. These awnings offer many years of protection against sun glare, which is ruinous to interior decorations of the home. Shades, curtains. portierres. damasks, rugs and many other furnishings can be faded by the strong rays of the sun. The awnin grills off all clanger of this nature and helps perfect the original grace of rooms The Torp Awning Shoppe also is featuring at this time Venetian blinds, which fit themselves into every type of room or building naturally and correctly. They give comfort, modern smartness and a flexibility of light control and toning that combines utility with great possibilities for added beauty. Painting Over Varnish When painting over varnish, first clean the surface thoroughly, removing dirt and grease by washing carefully with soda and water. Then dull the gloss by rubbing with steel wool or sandpaper, or wiping off with turpentine. Paint Increases Loan Value An average of returns from bankers shows that well-painted buildings have 22 per cent more loan value than structures not similarly protected.
