sltows a brilliant burst of speed to
take the lead In tlds race against

HOUSTON, July 24 (UP)—
The Panama Refining Company of
Kilgore sought a Federal injunc-
tion here today to prevent the
Texas Railroad Commission from
interfering with shipment
Louisiana oil to its refinery.
John Porter and W.
Longview attorneys lor the
pany, claimed that the commis-
sion has no right to
whether the oil shipped
Louisiana to Texas was produced
legally under Louisiana conserva-
tion laws.
The hearing was conducted be-
fore a three-judge court composed
of Federal Circuit Judge J. C.
Hutcheson of New Orleans and
Federal District Judges T. M.
Kennerly of Houston and R. J.
McMillan of San Antonio.
Assistant Atorncys General
William C. Davis, Joe Sharp and
Charles Kennedy and Attorney C.
F. Sullivant of the commission,
representing the state, contended
that the importers of Louisiana
oil could not ask an injunction in
a court of equity because they
could not prove they own the prop-
erty and have a right to own it.

street preaching Thursday at 2 p.

and clenched his firsts.
You have probably wondered
about "Uncle John.” He Is as
much a landmark in Henderson 4s

tery behind the courthouse. Usual-

corner, his head wagging, his ton-

extends a paw out of the pocket
cif his blue overalls. When the paw
returns to the pocket, it usually
clenches a nickel.
"Uncle John” Thursday went
preaching for nickles. As an

Gets Proper Effect
To the rain of nickles in the
hat box, "Uncle John” also did
some revival .singing.
The audience was amused.
Uncle John scooped up the nick-

departed; an evangelist no more.
From bystanders here is what
you learn about "Uncle John”: He
will accept no coins but nickels.
He will turn up his nose at a
quarter but clutch eagerly at a

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24
(UF).—=New, highly perfected
stsimographic instruments, ordi-
narily used for recording earth-
quakes, are being tried through-
out California, Texas and,other
western state for the detection
of now oil fields, the California
School of Technology reveals.
The perfection of the old-time
sesimograph, the invention of ses-
in ometers and the development
of new instruments tha permit
of a practical use in delving into
geological formations far beneath
the earth.’s sui lace, constitute the
latest, contribution to this branch
of science by California research
workers. The men most responsible
for the discoveries and inventions
are Dr. Joshua L. Soske and Dr.
Raymond A. Peterson, reasearch
workers at the Institute of Tech-
r.o'ogy as well as Dr. Russel Raitt,
formerly in the physics depart-
ment of the institution.
Equipped with a complete set of
their newest instruments, they are
exploring the undersoil over vari-
ous parts of California in search
of oil. Results are said to be sat-
isfying.
Equal success has been achieved
in Texas and other States.
fwo Sciences Combined.
The newer instruments for the
search of oil are modification of
Dr. Hugo Bcnioff’s earthquake
recording sesimograph, perfected
and adapted to record higher fre-
quency disturbances below the
earth’s surface, usually artifical-
]y generated by dynamite.
Other principles, notably those
used in Oceanography, also were
utilized in developing and per-
fecting the new instruments. The
basis on which the oceanograph-
ers work is to send sound to the
ted of the ocean, and record its
echo when it returns to the sur-
face. By knowing the velocity bf
, the bound waves and the ti...«
consumed in the trip, it is pos-
sib'e for the scientists to deter-
mine the exact depth.

earth were set up by explosions
of dynamite at various depths
and in various geologeal forma-
