CHICAGO, Jan. 8. (£>)—1The dia
mond drill lias proved its worth and ef
ficiency in prospecting for coal and
ores, and may fill the need for better
prospecting methods in the oil in
dustry, it is indicated by an investi
gation of the subject by the Bureau
of Mines. In northern Oklahoma the
diamond drill is being used for de
termining geologic structures as well
as for testing for oil production.
Several oil wells in Mexico and test
wells in a number of States have
been sunk with the diamond drill.
NEW OIL FIELDS NEEDED.
Development of supplies of crude
oil necessitate the finding of new
oil fields. New fields, however, are
increasingly difficult to find, be
cause many promising geologic
structures, particularly those that
can be determined by studies of sur
face indications, have already been
developed or tested. Oil operators
naturally wish to avoid drilling ex
pensive test wells in uncertain areas
with the aid of only a little geologic
evidence, and are eager to use meth
ods that will furnish at reasonable
cost more complete geologic informa
tion on the possibility of finding oil.

MORE ON STANTON
(Continued from Page Three)
“Li’l Feller,” “Sweet Little Woman
of Mine,” “Let Miss Lindy Pass,”
“Keep on Hoppin’” and “Marcelle”.
It was in the latter his friends be
lieve he reached his greatest height
of heart appeal. Mr. Stanton,s daugh
ter, Marcelle, was dangerously ill
and believed to be dying. The poet,
overwhelmed with grief, sang out the
agony of his soul in a poem.
“Mighty Lak a Rose” inspired
Ethelbert Kevin, one of America’s
foremast composers, to compose a
musical setting for it. Carrie Jacobs
Bond, another of America’s immort
als, wrote the music to “Just A
Wearyin’ For You”. Edward Kneisel
wrote the music for “Li’l Feller”.
The first Mr. Stanton knew of
“Mighty Lik A Rose”, which he had
copv-righted, being set to music was
when he heard a friend humming It
to himself. Aftel- investigation he
sold the words for $150.
“The long and the short of it was
that right at that moment I happen
ed to be a little short of cash, so I
took the $150.” He received a like
amount for “Just A-Wearyin' For
You.”
By reason of a style and diction,
the chief charm and power of which
lie in its simple directness, Mr. Stan
ton was able to give to literature the
quaint philosophy of the old-time
Southern negro and also the senti
ment of the old-time South. Hun
dreds of his poems were written in
the dialect of the appealing old
negro of “befo’ de war’ days.”

EVOLUTION THEORY OF
ESKIMOS IS THEIR OWN
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. (/p)— Dr.
Knud Rasmussen, the Danish explor
er, who recently completed a 20,000
mile dog-sled trip thru the Arctic
zone, believes the Eskimo has
evolved something akin to a Darwin
ian philosophy of his own, based
on the theory that there was a time
when animals were converted into
men and when there was only one
tribe of men but numerous animals.
Eskimo folklore, Dr. Rasmussen
said recently before the National
Geographic Society, also assumes
that there was a period in the earl
iest dawn of Arctic evolution when
all human beings were males. To the
Eskimo mind it suggested a peaceful
but monotonous and humdrum exist
ence and it terminated when Mrs.
Eskimo was evolved from the rib of
one of the early lords of the Arctic.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. (JP)—A
report that ice was sighted about
250 miles southeast of Bermuda has
been received at the Hydragraphic
Office of the Navy. Thiis is said to
be farthest south Artie ice that has
ever been reported.
