BY VINC ENT LYONS, Tursn Financial l.ditor You have drilled a well and got gas. So what! You have Invested anywhere from sls 000 to $25,000 and all you have to show for it is a series of gadgets which potentially might be the means of getting back your money. An unfailing sense of economics tells .you that you cant construct a pipe line to a town a hundred or so miles away and ell 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 lme company enters the scene. At present there are nine of them transporting natural gas out of the Texas Panhandle. From the richest gas land 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 Indiana polis. 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 few; 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 mtitled to ' of the revenue as a royalty. Thus, the producing company, under this arrangement would receive 3 1 2 cents and the lan4 owner would receive 1 - cpnt 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 line 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 every eight miles along the main line are located gate valves. 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 continue 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 from 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 each of these 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 .> subjected to the exactly same treatment. In between these widely separated compressing stations walk the "trouble-shooters." To them is entrusted 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. Thp size of a cannon was determined by the weight of its projectile until the middle of the last century. Now it is measured by the diameter of the muzzle in inches or centimeters. •

* STORY fCASTGR

r T''HE 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 follower.-. Martha, Mary and Lazarus, ministered to Him. He may have passed thi - 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 Kim in vain. On this day the Sanhedrists met at the home of Caiaphas to 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.

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 j culture and unsurpassed vacation and amusement possibilities. All these lands of the Vikings are j full of interest, for their historic I 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 at- j mosphere of Viking charm that is | evident as soon as one crosses the ; gangplank. The combination of a glamourous itinerary and the Viking j ship will make a never-to-be-for- ; gotten vacation experience. The Viking ship, the Drottning- 1 holm, will depart from New York June 12, and will return to that port July 15. LAW STUDENTS TIE IN DESATING EVENTS Both Teams to Engage in Further Discussion.
