Ice Condititons May Force Fliers To Abandon Flight in Iceland Reykjavik. Iceland, Aug. 8. —The world flight of the American army avia- i tors, who Already have completed 21,- i 000 miles in - their efforts to put a girdle I about the earth, seemed in danger of l being abandoned today owing to the iee i conditions off Greenland, which are de- I clared to be the worst in 20 years- i Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith, who is in i command of the 'flight, and Major Crumrine, of the American army air i service, were called into consultation by i Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magmder on ! board the cruiser Richmond. The con ference was called to consider the ques- i tion of calling off the flight for thiß sea son. Both Lieutenant Smith and Major Crumrine argued thnt there still were hopes for completing the projected ho|>s from Iceland to Greenland and thence to Labrador. Tlie result of the conference was au order to the cruiser Raleigh to proceed to Greenland waters and explore the const for a possible landing place for the planes of Lieut- Smith and Lieut Nelson south of Angmag Salik, which was picked out in making up the itinerary’ as the first stopping place in Greenland. • The steamer Gertrud Rnsk, with sup plies on board for the aviators, ice-bound 15 miles from Angmag Salik, reported today by wireless that there had been no change in the ice conditions. Admiral I -■ ’US' ' '-.-I"!-'ll " I COOLIDGE TO PICK ONE OF TWO EVILS, SPEECH OR SILENCE Some Say President Must Go on the Stump; Others Advise Him to Say as Little as Possible. , Special to New York World. Washington, Aug, 7.—Various Repub lican campaign strategists are already , growing nervous over the effect on pub lie sentiment when President Coolidge’s opponents begin their active campaign ing. It has been acticly understood that Mr. Coolidge was to stay at Washing ton throughout *the campaign, making ns few speeches as possible and appear- 1 ing to be too engrossed with affairs f of the nation to give much attention to polities. ' Virtually all Republican leaders had agreed that this would achieve the best psychological effect. It had been pro- 1 posed that Mr. Coolidge should ocea- 1 sionally appoint some committee or make I ; some move to attract attention, but 1 without forciug him to present himself ' in person to the public. 1 To this end the idea has been re- ' volving for weeks to have him call a ; conference of governors or otherwise in- ' itiate a general movement for reduction of State and local taxes. This, is was I felt, would be universally popular and would achieve greater benefits politically than almost any otlflb enterprise. - • But the approach of the day when John W. Davis is to take the stump has begun to strike fear into the hearts of the plan makers. The Democrats count on Davis' strong personality and power as a speaker to gain public sentiment. La Follette’s counsellors except similar results. Campaign managers are already won- , dering whether the wheelhorse orators ' of the G. O. B. can effectively stibsti- , tute for Mr. Coolidge in retrieving cap tured ground. On the other hand, they fear to let the President take the stump , because of his defects as a speaker and in those attributes of personality that appeal popularly. One veteran of old guard campaigning, for 'instance, remarks that “Mr. Coolidge > would lose more votes than he’d gain.” One of the most active senators in | Mr. Coolidge’s campaign says the I’resi- , dent would destroy the popular concep- ( tion of him and his personality. Concern of Republican, committeemen j is increased by the difficulty in assem bling the “Advisory Committee” invent ed after the Cleveland convention to ap pease Secretary Slemp and others who were threatening to revolt from Chair man Butler’s czarism. It is now more than a month since the committee was created and it has not yet found itself any members. Will Hays was mentioned as one who would be immediately drafted for it, but he has declined, saying he was too busy. Some outstanding Republicans have been invited but have discovered that busi ness or prior engagements would prevent their acceptance. The majority of prominent film act resses are below medium height, the rea- I son being that- tall women do not come | out so well on the screen. Magmder then is said to have decided to call off the flight unless there were im perative reasons for continuing. If no harbor is found available as a haven for the planes in Greenland, the alternative of refuelling them from the Raleigh on the open sea will be considered, although the fliers regard this a desperate ex pedient. The navy and army officers have another hope. This is based on the fact that the steamer Quest, built for the Shnekleton Auarctic exposition some years ago is now in these waters and may be engaged to break through the ice of some east Greenland harbor and thus afford the plaues a base. The Quest left Reykjavik some time ago and her present position is not known . Radio messages requesting the services of tlie ire-breaker were sent out today- They have not yet been answered, but is hop ed they may have been picked up by the Quest. Lieut Smith and Major Crumrine are unwil’ing to give up the flight at this stage. They argue that the weather con ditions in Greenland are best between August 15 and September 1 and favor remaining here until good reports are received. s It is expected that several days will elapse before the Raleigh w able to ex plore the east Greenland coast and make a report on conditions, there, THE ROMANTIC STORY OIL. Sixty-Five Y'ears Ago Since Petroleum Was Found in Pennsylvania. Washington. D. C., Aug. B.—lt will be sixtyifive years on the 26th of this month since the first, petroleum well 1 was opened at Titusville, Pa., by Ed- ' ward L. Drake. In these sixty-five l J yeans, and particularly during the last. 1 several decades, the oil industry has de-1 •’ veioped into one of the most, important in the world. Among natural products, petroleum. 1 1 the crude oil from which gasoline and 1 other valuable products are obtained, 1 occurs in every continent of the world. 1 and new fields are being Yapped every day to meet the tremendous and growing I lemand. A popular fallacy regarding crude oil '1 is that it is found in large underground 1 ponds or pools. This is quite an error, jas the oil is always contained in a 1 porpous stratum in tlie earth. This stratum consists of sand or limestone, 1 and contains the oil as a sismge holds ■ water. Naturally the oil-bearing • stratum must lie between two strata of • impervious material, such as clay or 1 rock, otherwise all the oil would have leaked away and been lost ages ago. Some authorities hold that oil is of organic origin — thnt it has been produc ed by th«| decay of vegetable matter, in the same manner that coal has been formed by the decay of prehistoric forests, but under slightly different eop ditions. Others say thnt the formation is inorganic—that it has been formed by interaction of minerals. As recently as twenty or thirty years ago, in Russia and Rumania, wells were dug by hand, as when sinking for water. The oil was then bailed out with wooden or leather buckets, in exactly the same way thnt water is obtained in some rural communities today. In Rumania some of these wells were as deep as 450 feet, and were lined with wickerwork to prevent the walls Caving in. This method, of course, could only reach oil comparatively near the surface. Today oil wells can be drilled by machinery to depths of a mile and a half in search of deep-lying oil-bearing strata, but these wells are of much ! smaller diameter, being probably 4 : inches to 12 inches bore. Tlie walls are lined with steel. | There are two principal methods of drilling wells in operation today. First, the percussive system: a heavy drilling tool is hung on the end of a wire cable and alternately raised and dropped on to the earth or rock, thus pounding it i into fragments. These fraguments are at short intervals bailed out of the hole in the form of mud. In the second sys tem a rotary drill is used, and the fragments of earth are continuously washed to the surface by keeping water circulating down the drill rods and up the sides of the well. When the oil-bearing stratum is reached, sometimes the oil flows to the top of the well under a violent pressure. The well is then known as a "gusher.” and if the pressure is very great the mo«t stringent precautions have to be taken to keep the oil within bounds. At other times the oil does not reach the surface, and then in order to produce the well has to be continuously pumped. After the oil is obtained from the well it has to be taken to the refinery, in order thnt it may be divided into its various components and made suitable for commercial uses. Nowadays this transport is usually effected by pipe lines, which in some cases are of enormous length. One of the most famous of these pipe lines is that be tween Baku aud Batoum in the Russian fie’ds, which is almost 560 miles in length. In the United States there are lines of even greater length extending from the central oil fields to the sea board. W. T- Roberta, of Leakaville Faces Serious Indictment. Ueidsville, Aug. 8. —Deputy Marshall Ila Johnson having in custody Willis T. Roberts, of Leaksville, left, here today for New York where the latter will be tried on a charge of sending an obscene letter through the mails. It is alleged that sometime ago Roberts became enraged when he lost a money order and he proceeded to write a letter to the postmaster general and give him a piece of his mind. The letter, it is alleged, contained scorching, ugly epithets and postal officials decided to jack up the Leaksvillian. In a summer camp community in On tario, where the cottagers were annoyed ; considerably by mice, one of the boys of the neighborhood earned a neat sum by • renting out cat* at a rate of ten cents a week.
