OIL INDUSTRY
SHOWING SIGNS
OF SAGGING
SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.—The
reporting of only eighty wells ready
to drill up to the middle of February,
as against one hundred and twelve
for the same period last year, will
make a noticeable decline in the
state's production of oil if the condi
tion continues, according to the Cali
fornia state mining bureau. The re
port says:
“The flush production of the no
longer new Montebello and Casmalia
fields masked this condition temporar
ily. However, the history of oil field
development .even if present produc
tion data of the Montebello and Cas
malia fields were not available, should
warn operators against counting too
heavily upon initial productive condi
tions.
“Rapid decline of gas pressures and
improper drilling, with respect to pro
tection from water, are two of the
principal causes which prevent oil
fields from maintaining their brilliant
initial records.
“Gas pressures can be controlled to
a large extent, and their expulsive
powers conserved by the proper drill
ing and preparation of wells for pro
duction. However, the supervisor has
on a number of occasions directed

DRAFT PROCESS
WAS MEANS OF
SAVING LIVES
WASHINGTON, March 13.—Vital
statistics made available to the gov
ernment as a result of the selective
draft processes—especially from the
scientific physical examination of
3,208,446 men—will be the means of
saving a hundred times as many lives
as were lost in the war, in the opinion
of Major General Enoch -Crowder, pro
vost marshal general.
While no attempt has been made as
yet to study the information derived
from the physical examination of
registrants, a local board for division
No. 129, in New York city, has made
an auspicious start through the care
ful indexing of the results obtained in
600 cases, with the view of turning
these over to medical authorities for
analysis. Already the figures seem to
indicate clearly that foreign-born
registrants were of lower physfcal
standard than native-born.
Of every 100 men called for service
under the draft, examining officials
found 2.76 per cent were suffering
from defects which could be remedied
entirely if the applicants submitted
to a short and simple course. The
original plan of the draft authorities
—to induct these men and have their
defects corrected at army hospitals-—
was dropped because of the lack of
facilities, but government officials
have not abandoned entirely the idea
of federal assistance in this recon
struction work under some future so
cial betterment program.
Registrants who possessed physical
defects of such degree as to prevent
them from rendering military service
of any kind totaled 621,606, and con
stituted 16.25 per cent of the total ex
amined. These included organic dis
eases of internal organs, marked vis
ual or aural defects, mental diseases
and deficiencies, muscular paralysis,
disfiguring and disabling deformities
and, lastly, physical underdevelop
ment.
Study of this class, it is believed,
would show "basic causes capable of
being eliminated from future genera
tions through social hygiene cam
paigns, competent medical supervision
and advice and physical exercise, sci
entifically prescribed, v
Comparison of the age groups of
registrants is, said to have indicated
.material deterioration in the average
American soon after he reaches his
majority. Of every 100 men aged 21
who were examined, 76.89 were found I
physically fit, while fn the 2139-vear'
class only 69.17 were thus classified;
while only a small increase was noted
in the remedials, the disqualified group
rose from 23.11 to 30.83 per hundred.
Analysis of the figures and percent
ages of men rejected on account of
deficient mentality and because of
mental and nervous disorders afforded
interesting data. Most of the Souths
em states showed high figures for the
mentally deficient—probably, it was
explained, because of the large negro
population. Vermont was the only
northern state in the first ten states
in this respect. On the other hand,
mental and nervous. disorders were
far more prevalent &r the Northern
states.
