Lady Astor wants to visit Virginia and see her relatives—Lady Astor, England’s first woman member of Parliament, says that she will make a desperate effort to attend the Pan- American conference of Women at Baltimore in April. Only the possi bility of a general election will pre vent her attendance. In a letter to the National League of Women Voters, Lady Astor said “I have always felt that I should like to go to my women compatriots, and this seems a chance. The election is the only serious drawback. Referring to her girlhood home, she said: “I do want to come to America, to go to Vir- gmia, to see my relatives; and it would be the greatest pleasure for me to meet the American women." Snuffing Out a Burning Oil Well- An unusual method was adopted re cently in extinguishing a burning oil well at Long Beach, California. The well had been cemented to a depth of about 2,640 feet for about three days when an explosion took place and the escaping gas became ignited. This is the first time in the history of Cali fornia oil developments that a well has been blown out after having been ce mented. After unsuccessful attempts to smother the flame with steam and mud flow it was decided to use dyna mite. A stand about seven feet high was incased in asbestos and on this was placed 100 lbs. of 80% gelatin dynamite wrapped in abestos paper. While some were placing the dyna. mite others looked after the exploder wires. When everything was in read iness the charge was exploded by battery. The explosion extinguished the flame but did not shut off the gas. Additional boilers were set up and pipes laid. Through these a constant stream of mud and steam was directed producing an effect somewhat like that of a geyser. After three days’ work sufl’icient stoppage was produced to cut off the gas. The well has probably been lost and must be redrilled. A Famous Anarctic Explorer—News has recently reached this country of the death of the famous British ex plorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. While carrying on a new Antarctic expedi tion his death occurred on board the Quest off St. Georgia Island on Jan uary 5th. His body will be forwarded to England where it will I'eceive the honor due one of England’s bravest and most adventurous Polar heroes. Curiously enough when the Shackle ton expedition left London about four months ago Sir Ernest remarked that this expedition was to be his “swan song.” The object of the voyage was to add to the knowledge of ocean depths and currents and to be largely one of scientific exploration along Antarctic coast lines. One London paper puts the feeling of Englishmen concisely and truly when it says: “We have lost a great Englishman, simple, courageous, cheerful, and of infinite resource.” When up in Winston-Salem call in and try O’hanlon’s Hot Choco late, made the O’hanlon way and served the best in any city.
