THE JOURNAL 6 Utah Mountains Said to be Source of Oil CINCINNATI, OHIO Through painstaking work of a young University of Cincinnati geologist, the American oil industry has been given a lead on what may prove to be new sources of petroleum in the Utah mountains. F, D. Holland, Jr., curator of the ducing oil in other northern Rocky Mountain states. Rocks of the region studied by Holland, some 280,000,000 years old, were deposited in a vast sea teeming with shell life. Comparison of the various kinds of fossils, some microscopic in size, in the rocks of the Utah section with fossils of the mountainous Montana section yielded evidence which enabled the Cincinnati expert to name a new series of beds in nortneastern Utah. Such fossil comparisons are uselocal universitys museum, reportful in keeping the geologists ing his work in the American As- date book straight.

Hollands report in the American Association of Petroleum Geologists bulletin for the first time represents the rocks in the Utah region graphically by means of detailed diagrams as well as by written descriptions. Holland is currently studying fossils representing the marine life in another sea of the same age in western New York and Pennsylvania. Correlations between these widely separated eastern and western United States faunas are expected to aid in dividing the geologic timetable and in understanding the geographic distribution, of land and water 280,000,000 years ago.

A clean range also helps keep the kitchen clean and free of unnecessary smoke and odors. The manufacturers booklet, which comes with a new range, gives advice on cleaning and care, but here are some suggestions: Wipe up spills and spatters promptly with a dry cloth or paper. Grease comes off most easily when fresh and hot. Acid foods should never be left on because they may eat into enamel surfaces or hasten rusting of metal. Other foods may scorch on until they are difficult to remove without strenuous scouring which is likely to be hard on the surface. Metal and porcelain in parts of ranges need frequent washing with a cloth moistened jn warm suds of soap or detergent, but this should be done only after the stove is cool. A wet cloth or a hot surface is a hazard to hands and may crack enamel. Many good housekeepers make a habit of wiping off the stove with a damp cloth after doing the dishes but go easy on water so that it doesnt drip or run down sides or into burners and cause rust or streaks. Charred particles on burners or heating units, or in the bottom of the oven, may be removed after the stove cools by brushing out or drawing out with a vacuum cleaner. If gas burners become clogged, they may be cleaned out with a metal wire after the gas is turned off. Never use a toothpick because it may break off in the burner. Ovens often are neglected in cleaning because they are closed and out of sight. Yet a dirty oven often smokes when heated, may even give food cooked in it an unpleasant taste. Ovens benefit by ventilation after use. Leaving the oven open to cool helps keep it clean and fresh and prevents rusting from closed-i- n steam. To remove scorched-o- n grease in ovens, dilute ammonia helps. Apply with a cloth. Or set a dish of ammonia in a closed over overnight to let the fumes loosen the soil. Then scour lightly with very fine steel wool or fine scouring powder like whiting, and wipe off. Heap high the board with plenteAnd toast the sturdy Pilgrim band whose courage never ceased.
