Sunday Morning, January 2, 1938 THE ABILENE REPORTER-NEWS FOUNDLING ARISTOCRAT-Setter Not In Dogdom's Blue Book, But Has Place In Doctor's Heart By NUNEZ WISCHKAKMPER Sleek, silken-haired Pat, Irish setter belonging to Dr. K. p. Glenn, 896 Highland avenue, holds an almost human affection for the man who sixteen months ago took him when he was an unwanted, scrawny-boned foundling of the streets and gave him a home. Once a hungry, flea-infested dog that plundered the garbage cans Glenn's friends.

Frequently he is seen riding beside Dr. Glenn In his car, while making calls or running errands to (he market or grocery. In evciy respect, he Is the companion that fiction pictures a canine in his relation with man. Because of the danger of being run over by passing automobiles, or being stolen, Pat Is confined within Ihe house a great part of PAT AND MASTER, DR. R.

P. GLENN of Odessa for food. Pat now thrives on Ihe luxuries of a. home and looks every 1 inch a pedigree. His long, red, well-curried hair, as much as 12 Inches long on parts of his body, gives him the appearance of a royal-blooded setter and It Is hard to believe that he Isn't.

Actually, his hair fairly glistens, especially in the sunlight. "Pat is bound to be of fine stock because of the silky texture of his hair." his master contends. SIRED STEEN'TUPIETS Pat is almost a perfect specimen. The one flaw In his make-up Is a swirl of hair on the neck. He has sired several fine litters in Abilene a surrounding communities, and all the puppies have been as perfect physically as Pat.

Dr. Glenn believes Pat set some of a record in siring 16 puppies In one litter. Pat Is a famillary Ilgure to Dr. Ihe time. On days that he is not with his master, he takes up a vigil on the flight of steps at the back of the house and awaits Dr.

Glenn's return at noon and late in ihe afternoon. PORCH BOUDOIR A cozy, enclosed space on the back porch, bedded with cut up newspapers, is Pat's repose at night. And it was ink from newspapers, incidentally, which eradicated Pat's fleas when he first came into Dr. Glenn's possession. Pat, about two years old, gives promise of being an excellent hunting dog, but his master does not have time to take him out into the field often.

The few times that Dr. Qlenn has hunted with him, however, he has exhibited unusual talents for spotting birds. (Editors Note: This is the sixth In series of articles on Abilene dogs). Insurance Against Unemployment In Effect For Workers Of Texas; Abilene Headquarters For 44-County District Year's day marked beginning of a new security, for the Texts worker. Unemployment benefits became operative in this state Saturday as new phase of the social security program, administered in Texas by the unemployment compensation eom miss ton.

Unemployed workers in Abilene ean file claims at Ihe Texas state tmployment service office, in the Park office building at South First and Crestnut sliects, lor benefits under the Texas unemployment compensation act. Abilene Is district headquarters of both the employment service and the Texas unemployment compensation commission whose offices are on the fifth floor of the Alexander building. H. H. Rumph Is district supervisor of the latter.

The unemployment compensation has been In effect in Texas since late 1S36 and has brought under its scope 12.600 different establishments employing 875.000 men and women. Since going into operation the system has built up a reserve fund of nlmost 520,000,000 from employers' contributions, all to be used to pay benefits to unemployed workers in future yenrs. 115 WEEKLY MAXIMUM Any person who was employed for the first three quarters of 1337, provided his. employer was subject to terms of the act, will be eligible to receive benefits 1f unemployed. Benefit payments may reach a maximum of $15 per week for 16 weeks in any calendar year, while the minimum Is S5 weekly or three- fourlhs of the former full time weekly wage, which ever is the lesser.

The purpose nf the unemployment compensation commission Is lo furnish the working class of people with insurance ncnlnst unemployment. Another division of the state set-up is (he Texas state employment service. Filing of a claim with the employment service for unemployment benefits automatically registers the person as an applicant for work If a Job can be found. Hence, the unemployment commission pnd its divisions not only provide (he unemployed worker with funds during periods of unemployment, but iwlst him its work.

LE SUEUR-- (Continued from case one.) habit to personally Invite the actress' father to the theaters each lime one of her pictures showed here, and that his Invitations always brought profuse thanks from Mr LeSueur.

CONGRESS- (Continued from page one.) was a disposition in congress to "economize as much as possible" but that Ihe Iroubleri international situation "might make some differ- ence'' in appropiiations for national defense. The president already has informed congress that world events which were causing his "concern" might impel him to recommend a nai-Bl construction program which would substantially exceed one on which house appropriations subcommittee has been working for weeks.

TliLs would provide for con- struellon of 18 new warships and woild increase the naval appropriation bill $50,000,000 beyond the current figure. Uncertainty over the probable effect of the current economic setback on government revenues and relief needs added to the task of the president and his aides in charting the financial course of the government. In suggesting curlail- mcnt of federal highway expenditures recently, the president told congressional democrats that, because of their huge majority, they would have to assume full respon slblUty for any expendilures in ex cess of his recommendations. JAP ARMY-- (Continued from page onel arms. Settlement authorities, Americans PAGE SEVEN and Britons, hoped lo prevent development o( a terroristic campaign against Japan's domination of the Shanghai area.

Friday lo pah- Hong, eminent Chinese Catholic layman and philanthropist, was as- slnated In the French concession shortly after he assumed leadership of a Chinese committee cooperating with the Japanese in restoring normal conditions here. Tsinglao, the Shanghai port, was quiet, a public safety commission having restored ortc after two weeks ol destruction and looting of Japanese property by forces, which departed Friday. One hundred eighty two Americans remained in Tsinglao and Its vicinity, and Samuel United States consul, reported all safe and all American properly undamaged. The destroyer Pope arrived at Shanghai from Tslngtno, bringing rive children ot American residents of the Shantung port. About 70 Americans have left Tslngtao since Chinese begun burn- Ing Japanese cotton mills and the Japanese invasion of Shantung began in earnest.

UGUSTA TO SAIL Admiral Harry B. Yarncll, commander in chief of the United States Asiatic fleet, announced his flagship, the cruiser Augusta, would sail Jan. 6 for Manila. The Augusta had been scheduled to leave Shanghai In mid-December, but remained because of the sinking of the gunboat Panay and the crisis at Tsingtao. Admiral Yarnell and his staff will remain at Shanghai, making headquarters aboard the naval yacht fsabei, now enroutc here from Manila.

The Augusta, after five months In the muddy Whcttigpoo rivrr here, was said lo need an overhaul. Foreign officials in Shanghai said they had learned that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, China's leader, had rejected Japanese peace overtures communicated to him by Dr. Oskar Trautmann, German ambassador to China, now at Hankow. Suggested terms of peace were said to have been forwarded to Dr. Trautmann by the Tokyo government through the German ambassador to Japan.

Included were said to be: An economic agreement under which Japan would participate in development of China's resources, aviation, transport and customers; China's adherence to a pact against communism; establishment of permanent Japanese garrisons in China formation of demilitarized zones In China to be fixed by Japan; formation of an Independent Inner man- gollan government; payment ol war indemnities by China. ment forces still held the city although suffcrlni terrific purJsh- ment from the quick- firing artillery batteries. The loss of a hill dominating Te- rucl was admitted, but It was asserted insurgent attempts to the war-shuttered city were repulsed. (Insurgent dfopafrhes to Hendaye, on the French frontier, gave detailed of complete capture of the city, declaring government troops were retreating in disorder.) TERUEL-- (Continued from page one.) Press was wounded in the left thigh and taken to a hospital in Zaragora, the insurgent base 100 miles west ot Teruel. Harry Philby of the Times of London suffered a head injury.

The Fmall Insurgent garrison which had held out Inside Teruel during the ten days of government occupation was rescued by an insurgent column which entered from the south Friday afternoon at the same tijne other columns were pouring In from the west and southwest, said Insurgent dispatches to Irun. General Miguel Aranda directed the drive and led the wing into the city. General Mujlca, a taking Concud, west of Teruel, led in his center column. General Jose Varela, coming from Campitlo, forced his wny through the city's southern defenses and established contact with the beleaguered garrl- Reports reaching Ihe border said both armies suffered heavy losses from the bitter' weather in which the battle was fought. Temperatures ranged from 12 fo 20 above zero Fahrenheit.

Frozen arms and legs accounted for almost as many casualties as shells anfl bullets. Capture Denied MADRID, Jan. Spanish government, today would not admit that Teruel, strategic lower Aragon city, had been recaptured by th Insurgents. Communiques declared govcrn- DK. CYRUS N.

At that, thers was nothing pr- tlcularly exciting. Flush pay In the Gullar hadn't yet been developed, the Dunn McAllister well played out, as well as the Ivy pool fizzle, and the Lewl pool was Just a Jone well. There was a brief flurry over the discovery of the Swastika sand In the Sandy Hfdge area and several tests sought it.

Not until May 15 did this district become a center of attraction. That was the day Southern Oil Corporation No. 1 Robinson, Fisher county wildcat two miles northeast of Rotan, began heading oil, Rotan got the attention. Major oil companies held inside acreage in the poo). There were Immediate results In the blocking of new wildcat assemblies.

But even before the discovery well at Rotan was tested, June saw the discovery of the district's second pool of major proportions for Ihe year--at Avoca. During late spring and summer, Abilene came in for big share of lie oil play. Plush production at Hawley's Guitar pool with potentials of per day on shallow sand wells, brought a town- site play the southern Jones county town. Lots brought a premium of prices at per base. Lewis IToductloii company began the development of the south end of the Sayles Held, nearer Abilene, and pushed lb boundaries to the south and cast.

The district allowable was given a series of cuts, Iron Mountain Oil company and Humble No. I Olander was tested at about 2,700 barrels dally after acldlzation for the opener of the deepest pay in Jones county, spurring a new play for deeper drilling. Later In the year, the Avoca pool was given a milo north extension. This winter, the pool 'trend appeared northeast into Shackelford county with the Owens-Snebold No. 1 Haterlus discovery.

The discovery of the two big pools this year has served to lend impetus to geological and geophysical exploration throughout this Immediate territory. Humble drilled the first Ordovlclan wildcat in Jones county. General Crude drilled two deep tests in Stonewall and is beginning operations on a third. Three wlld- cau were sunk In Haskell county. A (est In Throckmorton showed as a possible deep pay corner.

Nolan county was given one deep test. Is promised another. Taylor county was drilled twice at View, has another drilling In the southwest corner. Callahan county was picked for four Ordovlclan wildcats. A fourth EUcnburger try in east Shackelford failed and a fifth Is being drilled.

Western siackelfoni, besides steady development of the shallow Bluff Creek area, has had several Canyon wildcats. Even though the percentage of wildcat failures was high, the subsurface knowledge and control gained by the drilling campaign Invaluable In the continuation of deeper exploration. In the aera described, npproxl- malely 600 tests were drilled In 1926, according to estimates. Of these, about half were producers. The figures, however, are about double those of the average three or four preceding years.

Production has been Increased such that the daily allowable per well, the schedule top, has been cut to half duilng the year. At that, the output allowance for the West central Texas district Is still at a higher figure than has ever been known In Its oil history-about 43,000 barrels dally. As the new year opens, the largest single area looming on th- development plans Is the Avoca pool. Some oil men believe the field will extend to the northeast through Shackelford, cutting Into Haskell and Throckmorton counties, others contend there will be several smaller pools opened on the regional high in that direction. In the meantime, deeper drilling has been given such a mark to shoot for that the present MBJ- palgn ol wildcatllng Is to wry thru for another year least.

As a whole, the oil business for this neighborhood looks belter on the threshold of 1938 than it did at this lime a year ago. Public Records F. Iludgens et ux to Christ i a college; Dec. 24, 1937: lot block 25, Abilene an city, of Abllere. Abilene Christian college to L.
