OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Oct. 31.
-Increasing its flow of oil to an
estimated 110,000 barrels daily, a
wild gusher threatened Oklahoma
City today. Hundreds of families in
the southeast part of the city went
breakfastless, as fire authorities en-
forced strict no-fire rules. '
The well, No. 1 C. E. Stout of the
Morgan Petroleum Co., on the Ca-
nadian River bank, just east of the
city limits, also was making an es-
timated 100,000,000 cubic feet of gas
daily. It has blown Wild for 12
hours.
Oil Men Cite Danger.
Oil men said that because of its
location the gusher was far more
dangerous to the city than the
Mary Sudik, which attracted na-
tional attention last spring by
blowing wild for 11 days.
Every fireman in the city was on
duty, roads in the north end of the
city gusher field were blocked and
train traffic in the vicinity of the
well was restricted.
Taking personal charge of the
derrick crew at daylight, Fred Mor-
gan, president of the company, di-
rected efforts to control the gusher.
Efforts were being made to remove
master valves, ripped open Thurs-
day night and cut away by sand,
preparatory to installing a "Christ-
mas tree" that would control the.
monster.
Noise heard in City.
The well's -roar could be heard
nearly everywhere in the city. At
times it was almost deafening
downtown and on the east side, and
the knocks of warning firemen a-
wakening residents in that section
of the city added to the restlessness
in virtually every home in the af-
fected area.
Negroes living in river bottom
flats fled their homes as the crude'
from the gusher, unstemmed byl
earthen dykes, poured into the riv-
er.
The wind shifted southwest early
today, adding to the hazard.
Five city schools were closed to-
day, releasing 2,150 pupils until
Monday. Great pbckets of gas lurk-
ing close to the ground in the
southeast part of the city led to1
the closing, J. R. Barton, city su-
perintendent of instruction, said.
Streets and roads for a mile,
around the well were closed.

Education Research Cmite
Prepares Improvement
of Program.
Plans to unite the engineering
profession, educational institutions
and the industries in improving en-
gineering education have been an-
nounced by H. Hobart Porter, chair
man of the engineering foundation.
Prof. Alfred H. White, of the
chemical engineering department,
is working with Dr. Harvey N. Da-
vis, president of Stevens Institute of
Technology, on the education re-
search committee whose obect i
to form a program which will meet
the demand of industry and puic
service for professional education of
high quality.
Dr. Davis represents the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers,
whigch has begun a survey of its
members to determine their duties,
responsibilities and compensation.
He favors the use of aptitude tests
more than the questionnares used
at present in the colleges.
"Breadth of vision," Dr. Davis as-
serts, "should be balanced against
depth of thiking in deciding upon
the courses of training best for vari-
ous engineering students. Specializ-
ation belongs after graduation."

YIMCIIDLEGATES
TO DISCUSS HEALTH
State Student Conference Will
Meet Today, Tomorrow
at Battle Creek.
CARROTHERS TO ATTEND
Health measures and a study of
their application to the students of
a university or college campus will
be considered at a state student
Y. M. C. A. conference to be held
today and tomorrow at Battle
Creek, according to the announce-
ment of Russell Cooper, state stud-
ent secretary of the organization.
The delegates are to be the guests
of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg of the
Battle Creek sanitarium, and the
program of the conference will in-
clude a complimentary medical
examination of all who attend. Dr.
Kellogg is making this opportunity
available because of his ambition
to extend the principles of biologic
living to all people. In this case he
believes the delegates will carry
back to their institutions and
spread among their colleagues the
knowledge of how to obtain good
health.
Prof. Georges E. Carrothers of
the School of Education, William
Kearns, '31, and Lyle Passmore, '33,
have been chosen as delegates from
the University of Michigan. Kearns
and Passmore are both members of
the executive board of the Stud-
ent Christian association.
Besides the health aspect of the
conference, the Michigan delega-
tion hopes to meet frequently the
delegates from the Christian asso-
ciations of other Michigan colleges,
particularly Michigan State, and
compare ideas on the conducting of
their respective organizations.nThe
value of this exchange of thought
should be one of the chief results
of the conference, stated Kearns
yesterday.

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Con-
cerned over the growing number
of cases in which American mis-
sionaries in China have become
enmeshed in the activitiesof the
co-called Communist bandits, the
state department today considered
how further to protect its nation-
als in remote places in the repub-
lic.
The reluctance of missionaries to
heed the warnings of American
consuls to withdraw to places of
safety has caused the state depart-
ment and the American officials
in China one of the most trying
periods in the history of American-
Chinese relations.
The American consulate general
at Hankow alone has protested to
Chinese officials during the past
18 months more than 50 times
against the occupation and moles-
tation by Chinese of American
property. Most of this was Mis-
sionary property.
As a result of their remaining in
places designated to them on fre-
quent occasions by consular offi-
cers as "danger spots," four Amer-
