Dr. Raymond C. Moore Tells Over Radio of the Discovery in Drilling of Oil And Gas Wells
How Kansas farmers till the soil above a great range of granite mountains across a central part of the state, and where Montana M.C. Moores, head of the department of geology, in a talk last night on the subject, "A Buried Mountain Range beneath the Kansas City Mountains," told WDAF by the Kansas City Star.
In some places the peaks of this subterranean range are within 500 feet of the surface, according to Doctor Moore. Some of the communities near the crest of these mountains are Serenoa, Onaga, Manhattan, County Beach, Cottonwood Falls, Elkado, Augusta, Winnipeg, and Arkansas City.
Mountains Deeply Buried
Mountains Deeply Buried
"The these mountains are buried so deeply they peak in the sky and their highest peaks rise to the level of the wheat field you see, as unknowingly you cross from one slope of the range to the other," said someone more. "Our new owner is very recent."
The finding of the buried mountains in Kansas, he explained, is connected with the drilling of wells, mainly for oil and gas, in the central part of the state. He found an interrupted succession of limestone, shale or oil sands, wells encounter granite a few hundred feet beneath the surface of the earth. Two wells within the Eldorado field have encountered granite below the oil-bearing砂.
Granite Mountains Underlie Kansas "Observations which have been made make it reasonably certain that the upraised granite masses in Kansas are very old granite mountains, somewhat like the present day Rockies, which are mainly composed of granite," he said.
Doctor Moore described the burial of the range as follows: "Many millions of years ago, seas began to drawn the coal swamps of Kansas and Missouri. Across Kansas stretched the riverbank. Eventually the entire range disappeared beneath the slowly accumulating deposits of mud, lime and sand. Later, when the sea began 'shrink somewhat,' the part which occupied what is now central Kansas was more or less shut off from the riverbanks by deep briking waters were precipitated the great salt deposits of the state.
Sea Covered Kansas
"The land became dry, only to be covered once again by seas in which those strange, huge sea-lizards, loothed diving birds, and other animals long since disappeared from the earth. The time when the mountains of Kansas were yet unburied must be numbered in tens of millions of years.
"It would not be too much to say that without the buried mountains in Kansas, we should not have had the state's best oil fields."
"In each case the occurrence of very important deposits of oil and gas seems to be due largely to compounds that make the former existence of mountains.
Patrick's Men See Match
Injuries, Ineligibility Conspire Against Kansans
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 16. — The Kansas matzen are saturing easy here today, awaiting the fray with the Huskers tonight. They stopped in Kansas City last night to see the Lewis-Mondt match, and perhaps to watch the Indians, but left it was over in order to catch a northbound train.
Do the Patrick-Roscoe proteges have a chance to win? Well, there is always a chance, though it may be a slim one. Injuries, ineligibility, examinations, all have conspired in an attempt to discourage Kannas from participating with the inexperience of the men, form a rather severe handicap.
Patrick said today, "Every man is in good condition, and best of all, in a fighting mood. We have a lot of respect for the Nebraskans, but, if they believe the meet tonight is going to be only a light workout, they will think differently when it is ever."

Tryouts Are to be Held To Pick Women Debaters
Beat Drake tonight.
Women's debate try-outs will be held Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 3:30 p.m. in the Little Theatre, Green Hall. Only two of last year's women will attend. Since at least six will be chosen for a dual debate with K. S. A. C. on April 15, H. A. Shinn, of the department of public speaking, is very anxious that all women interested in the debate will be in their hands at his office at once.
"I have been advised to leave the Manhattan women debaters alone in arranging schedules," and Professor Shim, "because practically every college is enrolled in a literary society and has had debate training."
"Kansas women have proved that they can debate by winning two out of the last three debates. It is our ambition this year to have enough voters who can answer two more victories when we meet Manhattan on April 15."
Women's Forum Hears Speech On Near East By Professor Melvin
Says Separation of Greeks and Turks is Only Solution of Problem
"The Near East problem will never be settled until the Greeks and the Turks are separated," said Prof. Ralph Wendt. "We need women." Women's Forum yesterday afternoon.
"The question is difficult," said Professor Melvin, "because of its complications, due mainly to conventions and its geographical position. The first reason is the most vital. Civilization has been held back and has deteriorated because the natives understand it and will not agree on one religion.
"All through the territory is a mixture of the races; through the valley are remnants of the emigrants of the centuries. Each valley marks the place where the tides of tribes have stopped.
"I in regard to its geographical position, this region might well be called "crossroads of the World," Mr Melvin said. "From the time of the Persian king who tried to lash the waves of that part of the sea, so was the world's ancient friend, the world has found the territory a scene of incessant conflict."
Professor Melvin traced the histori cal events leading up to the present day problems.
“Whenever there has been progress it has met with decadence,” he said. “The Turkish government has led to abject conditions of the country. The people, with the exception of a few of the most highly educated, are ignorant; yet they try to govern such a society in order to align with sword in hand, so to speak. It is a matter of ‘a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.’
"For years and years to come there will be a 'Near East problem.' There are all kinds of possibilities of a threat to the tribes. They taught, they must be protected, and they must be just governed. The tribes must be separated and allowed just liberty. Although it means suffering and privations to the people concerned, it is better that they be separated than to be assassinated."

CHARLIE'S Best Shines in Town
All the K. U. fraternities are getting behind the drive for a new hotel for Lawrence, according to "Potsy" Clark, who is driving the drive here. Three fraternites have already made subscriptions, Beta Theta PI plied $100, Delta Upsilon pledged $50, and Kappa Sigma pledged $60.
"The fraternities on the hill will benefit as much as any group of persons from the advantages of a new hotel," said Mr. Clark. "Returning alumni often do not care to burden the boys by staying at the house; and 'Mother may accompany' Daf at the great many great grades do not return each year because there are no hotel accommodations.
"The new hotel will have a large lobby, banquet room, and dance floor and will afford facilities for putting on banquets and parties that the fraternities cannot do under the present conditions. Local and national meetings can be held there when there is not room at the house.
The payments can be made in four
The turning of the branch in the hands of a "witch stick" to locate treasures hidden deep in the crust of Mother Earth has again been explained by Prof. R. S. Knappen. This phantom of the ages which has been waiting for the short cut to wealth lures on today as in the days of old.
quarterly installments during the current year, March 1, June 1, Sept. 1, and Dec. 1. This gives the fraternities a chance to help the people move to the new way," Mr. Clark said. "Most of the men are contributing to show their appreciation to the business man of Lawrence for not pushing the prosecution against him although this bill would have meant several thousand dollars to the city."
New officers were elected last night by Jayhawk post, Distributed American Veterans of the World War, at a meeting held in the American Legion Hall on Tuesday. P. R. Scrivner, commander; Fred G. Smart, senior vice-commander; Harold F. Ruppenthal, junior vice-commander; GLen Beyles, adjunct; James McKinney, treasurer; Coral Wendell, Eligue V. Llewis, sergeant-at-arms.
"Witch Sticks" Reveal Hidden Treasures Sometimes,but You Cant Fool 'Em All the Time
"The twisting of the branch is accomplished by twisting the ends clasped under the smaller fingers of the hands," said Professor Knappen. The well known superstition of the human race has led people with fraudulent intent to enter the profession of witching. They claim the ability
Historically, witching dates back to the earliest records of the human species. The great writers have spoken of the art in various ways. The Bible speaks of witching, according to some interpreters, in the stories of Moses concerning his striking the rock with his staff, causing a stream of water to gush forth, but, the professor does not regard this interpretation as probable, for other sources that said two witches could not look each other in the face without laughing.
The new hotel will cost $200,000 and will be built on the site of the Hotel Elirderge. It will be built so that it can be added later if the need arises.

to locate hidden treasures, precious metals, locale oil wells, and places to secure water. This last has probably been the case in which each of the uninsureds have worked.
"It is the intangible that interacts those who allow this joke to be practiced at their expense. There are people who believe they have the ability to 'witch' for the hidden treasures. They apparently do not realize that the muscles of the human body cannot be held at tension for any length of time."
A notable instance which shows the common failing of mankind was that of a western rancher drilling for water on his stock farm. When asked why he drilled in certain places, his reply was that these p.o.zes were the ones designated by his witch in whom the rancher seemed to have implicit faith. Inquiry disclosed that the man had drilled fourteen wells and only three had prepared them; those four wells were remembered by the rancher as monuments to the ability of the witch. Certainly had a wonderful philosophy to be able to forget the eleven fruitless attempts.

Bill Proposes $80,000 Raise in K. U. Salarie
A salary increase of $80,000 in the University of Kansas is an important feature of the proposed appropriation for state schools. Salaries for the present year total $780,000. Unnew bill they would total $800,000.
Although the request for $400,000 for a new hospital at Rosedale is denied in the committee recommendations, there is an increase of $300,000 in the maintenance appropriations and the "premier repairs and improvements." The bill also includes a $45,000 annual appropriation for special improvements. This includes laboratory and similar equipment. Another year each year is also recommended for the finishing of the girls' dormitory.
