COUNTY INSTITUTE SLATED
AUG. 31; TO SEPT. 4
Practical Course' to be Offered and
. Textbooks Discussed ; . Is
Voluntary. '
,To: be tired is a blessing in dis-
guise. ,:- -. -
The second institute for Marion
county: primary teachers will be
held in Woodbura from August
31 to Sept. 4, it was announced
by , Mary L. Fulkerson, county
school : superintendent, yesterday.
A practical course of instruction
In , the primary grades will be
given. The attendance' is volun
tary and no fees are charged.
The purpose of the Institute is
to acquaint teachers with the new
course of study in the primary
grades - and to i discuss .the new
textbooks adopted. Mary L. Ful
kerson. superintendent, .will give
a demonstration of teaching prim
ary children,-when she will have
eharge of a class ot little boys and
girls that have never yet gone to
school. In this way. new teachers
will become acquainted 1 with the
work and will receive a practica
insight into the 'system used in
this county. ; . : .
Miss Ann Simpson, recently ap
pointed on the staff ot the county
school superintendent's ' office as
director of health education, will
give the lectures and demonstra
tions of the Marion county health
work in the schools during, each
day of the institute. Miss Mar
garet Scollard of Woodburn will
have charge of the demonstration
of primary hand work. '
F. A. Fagan, superintendent of
the Woodburn school, has charge
of arrangements, and has offered
the use of the building for the five
days. This is the second time the
Institute has been held. Two
years ago the meeting was held
at Aumsville, . and ..met with ex
traordinary" success. . No other
county jn the state has as yet in
itiated a similar movement, but
reports indicate that the matter
i will be taken up next year.
NEW YORK. Aug. 6. (By As
sociated Press.) Improved meth
ods ot production and. a country
wide aurvey of natural resources
indicate that there is no Imminent
danger ot the exhaustion ot the
petroleum reserves of he United
States according to a report pre
pared by a committee of 11 di
rectors , of the American. Petro
leum Institute. The findings have
beei transmitted to the federal
oil conservation board at Wash
ington by J. Edgar Pew, president
ot the institute.
The 30u-page report declared it
is reasonable to assume that the
oil resources of the United States
assure the country ot a sufficient
supply of motor fuel and lubri
cants for the national defense
and tor commercial use - beyond
the;-time when science will have
found: some natural substitute.
Known supplies of petroleum, the
vast ', quantities that will be re
coverable "when prices warrant,"
Improved methods ot drilling wells
and refining the crude product in
addition to possible new sources in
great regions still unexplored, all
combine to point, to a reassuring
supply ot oil tor the nation's use,
the report concludes.
The petroleum recoverable by
present production methods in
proven fields is put at 5300,000,-
000 barrels of crude oil with
abbut 2S.000.000.000 barrels ot
crude oil obtainable by known
processes when prices justify.
Asserting that the limit of deep
drilling has not been reached, the
report says that improved methods
of reaching deposits at great depth
will 1 disclose oil supplies tanta
mount to the discovery of new
fields. The major oil reserves of
the United States are described as
lying in 1.100,000,000 acres ot
land underlain by sedimentary
rocks, not folly explored - and
where geology Indicates oil is pos
sible. With extended search it is
believed now supplies will be dis
covered. : In addition, the report
says, the nation has another re
serve in vast deposits of oil shale,
coal and lignites from which liquid
fuel and lubricants may be extract
ed. These deposits are so huge, it
was reported that they promise,
under conservative estimates, an
almost unllmitd supply.- 9 t
The present supply ot petroleum
can be further conserved by Its
more efficient utilization, especial
ly In th form ot gasoline, the re
port says, wane improved me
chanics also will result in smaller
consumption of lubricants. It is
estimated that when prices justify

sent the first shipment to Mr.
Mead by airplane mall, in order

supposition. . ' (
Mr. Mead took the new queens
to his place opposite Niagara. Linn

of his bees, taking advantage of

a lot of honey..

The queens which Mr. Mead re

the ones he might get from Italy,
he thinks, though - they do not
bring such high prices.

ORDINANCE' NOT SIGNED
5L1YOR CONSIDERS PLAN BE
FORE PENNING NAME
The city, parking, orlinance,
passed at the Monday night meet
ing of the council and providing
for the change from "back-in" to
head-tn" "parking, had not-been
signed by Mayor John B. Glesy
last night, who declared that he
proposed to take plenty of time
for consideration ot every detail
of the law before giving it his
signature. The ordinance will not
become effective until ten days
from the date that It is signed by
the mayor.
Although there has been some
delay in final action by the mayor
there seems little possibility that
the plan will not soon be put into
operation. The mayor has already
declared his : willingness to sign
the bill and give "head-on" park
ing a trial. The fact that several
amendments were hurriedly made
during rapid ; consideration of the
measure Monday night, and that
he wishes to give these careful ex
amination In order that the ordl
nance will not later be found de
fective, was assigned as the reason
for the delay.
In the meantime the city street
department has been ordered to
proceed with preparation for the
painting of the white guide signs
on the streets required by the law,
of damage to products on
property. Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner.
superintendent of the state hos-
pltal, told newspapermen yester
day In the course of an Inspec
tion ot the state hospital's 2(0

river In Polk county. Thej party
were guests of Sam A. Koser. sec
retary of state, at the colony farm.
E. T. Tldd Is foreman ot the farm
A fly, resembling the honey bee
but somewhat smaller, has done
some damage to the squash of
which there are 30 acres lnclud
Ing some acreage at the cottage
farm. The colony farm has plant
ed 103 acres of potatoes this year
together with a great and i ample
variety ot other garden products
that are needed to teed the 1800
Inmates and 250 employees of the
state hospital during the Winter
A huge plot is given over; to to
mato vines, which are loaded at
present and will be put up in five
gallon cans later in the season.
Inmates of the institution are busy
picking beans at present while the
sweet corn is fast ripening,' j
At certain times during the year
as many 'as SO inmates lot the
state hospital are employed on the
farm during ' the day. n the
growing and harvesting season a
few remain at the farm1 whi-e
others spend the day there, being
taken to the -farm from the hos
pital in trucks and in the morning
and returned at night. Still oth
ers spend the entire week, being
returned to the institution: for the
week-ends. Quarters are 'provid
ed for both groups, the bunks
greatly resembling an army bar
racks. Everything is being kept
in the best possible condition and
in the event of a surplus' of any
commodity, disposition of this; is
made to other institutions at' a
great saving to the state. .
