The lSAeOll,.s,

The difference between lsasQues ana
other Spaniards Is striking. not only
physically but mentally. The Rasuues
are clean. quiet aud business-like, not
prvf,lse in their speech, and they stick
to a promise when this IL once given.
Other Spaniartls think them mor"se. as
they are people of few words. rather
peppery when contradirted unnecess:iri-
~ and only for talkings sake. and they
will stand no nonsense. Whilst IT Is
the universal custom In the surround
ing Spanish provinces for every peas
ant. he 1t man, woman or child, to greet
you with a polite phrase. the RasIueS
pass by without any snlutatiOn. In
stead of proflise recognition when meet
ing Il former employer, and then, after
typical Spanish fashion, inquiring after
his own health and that Of every mem
Der Of his family. the Basques pass 10y
without a word the former business l.
over, but he has no objection to enter
into new contract Wherever there Is
in a typical Spanish town an inn or ho-
tel run by Basque. that house is the
one to make for: not only Is 1t cleaner
and more orderly, but ten to one the
landlord will not mind going out of his
way to help his guest.-Dr. Gadow, III

The Shortest Month.

Did you know that the month OF
September, In the calendars of En-
glish-speaking people. one year had
only nineteen days! 1t was made by
the change from the old style to the
new style in reckoning time. Pope
Gregory. you know, dropped ten days
from the calendar In 1882 to make civil
time and solar time agree. aud fur
ther ordained that the closing year OF a
century, instead Of being always a
leap-year, as IN the Julian calendar.
should be SO only when the number Of
the year was divisible by 400.
Now. England did not adopt the
Gregorian calendar until 1852, and by
that time there was difference OF
eleven days. instead OF ten. between
that calendar and the Julinn. the elev-
snth day having been dropped In the
year 100. which was not a leap-year
under the new rule. The English al
nlanacs for 1882. therefore, gave Sep
tember nineteen days instead OF thirty.
thus making their time accord with
the Gregorian.

OIL IN CALIFORNIA.
A. Interview with u Well Known oil
Expert.

A Interview with Well KNOWN OIL
Expert.
A well.known oil expert has the fol-
lowing to say about the California oil
industry:
The oil production OF California is
now about !, 500, 900 barrels annually.
This output is being increased verv
materially each month by the product
of the new wells drilled to oil in the
different districts.
The question most frequently asked
me. especially by capitalists and those
interested or likely to he interested in
oil investments is: lis there not
possibility of overproduction of oil in
Californian
There are two main belts extending
through the state, located on the east
ern and western shores of ancient. pre-.
historic seas. One Of these produces Il
black and essentially fuel oil, and the
other u green or gas oil.
The black or heavy oil makes al
ideal fuel, MS has been proven by 20
wears of experience in Russia and in
this county.
In using oil as fuel it is necessary
to exercise considerable Judgment, and
to know what kind of oil Ms we'll AS
what kind OF burner to use.
The two oils, the black and the
green, lie almost in two parallel belts
in California extending on the west
side Of the San Joaquin valley and run
ming north and south into northern and
southern California There is likewise
similar condition on the east side OF
the San joaquin more or less in evil
lence as is shown by the outcroppings
and geological formation. The east
side OF the valley. however. has not vet
been prospected for oil AS has the west
side, where developments have already
been, and where by far the largest
amount of the oil output of California
is at present obtained.
1t is true that many far.seeing capt.
talists have entered into the oil bust.
ness and have reaped rich financial re-
turns already. others have been too
conservative and are losing opportuni-
ties which are fast being taken up by
Eastern capitalists, who are rapidly ap.
preciating the chance California gives
for investments.

Sentenced to DE tn Three Times.
A famous criminal in Denmark has
had the unique experience of being SEN
fenced to death three separate times.
Such ia the lenity Of Danish law. or,
rather. the indisposition OF the ruling
powers to proceed to extreme meas
ures, that this notorious person, before
he was tried for the third time on the
capital charge, had already been re-
prieved twice and relegated to prison
for a long term. 1t was In prison that
he committed his third Offense in MUIR
dering one Of his jailers. He began
his long career of crime at the age of
8, by setting fire to a farm house. In
October. 1924. a criminal In Germany
was found guilty OF the murder Of two
women and attempts to murder others.
Under the German law sentence is
passed for each crime. and the prison
er in this case was consequently twice
condemned to death OH the capital Of
lenses, and for the murderons assaults
to fifteen years penal servitude.

In st. Nicholas Governor Roosevelt
of New York tells What "" Can Ex-
poet Of the American Roy" or course.
lie says. what we have n right to OK
pect OF the American boy ia that he
shall turn out to he 4 good American
man. Now. the chances are strong
that he won't he much Of II man unless
he is Il good deal Of a boy. He must
not he n coward, or Il wenkling. a bull
ly. shirk. or a prig. He must work
hard and play hard. He must he clean
minded and clcan-lived, and able to
hold his own under all circumstances
and against all corners. II is only OH
these conditions that he will grow into
the kind OF American man OF whom
America can he really proud.
There are always In life countless
tendencies for good and for evil, and
each succeeding generation sees some
Of these tendencies strengtEt ned and
some weakened; nor Is 1t by any means
always, alas. that the tendencies for
evil are weakened. and those for good
strengthened. But during the last few
decades there certainly have been some
notable changes for good in boy life.
The great growth In the love OF atlIlet-
ic sports. for instance. while fraught
with danger If 1t becomes one-sided
and unhealthy. has beyond all question
had an excellent effect In in-reared
manlIness. Forty or fifty years ago the
writer on American morals was sure
to deplore the effemlnacy and luxury
Of young Americans who were born Of
rich parents. The boy who was well
Off then. especially In the big Eastern
cities. lived too luxuriously. took to
billiards as his chief innocent recrea-
ton. and felt small shame In his ina
blity to take part In rough pastimes
and field sports. Nowadays whatever
other faults the son Of rich parents
may tend to develop. he Is Mt least
forced by the opinion of all his asso-
riates of his own age to bear himself
we'll in manly exercise. and to develop
his body-and therefore. to certain
extent. his character-in the rough
sports which call for pluck, endurance,
and physical address.
