First of all, don't worry about

do will not make it any cooler. Re
concile yourself to hot weather and

The next thing to do is to dress
for hot weather. Wear light col
ored, light weight, porous clothing.
Remember that tight clothing and
tight shoes, particularly in summer,
are for few women only. All men
and wise women will leave such
things strictly alonc.
Plenty of water is really the best
thing known for hot weather Drink
lots of it. Battle yourself in it in
side and out Drink until you pre-

PATENT TITLE is GOOD

WASHINGTON - Two important
points of land law were definitely
settled by the United States supreme
court when it recently decided the
Southern Pacific oil land case in ia
vor of the railroad company. One
held that when the government is
sues a non-mineral patent to piece
of public land, whether it be to an in
dividual entryman or to a railroad
company or other grantee, the nom
mineral character of the land involv-
ed is thereby settled beyond further
question unless it can be shown that
the patentee knew the land to be
mineral at the time patent was is
sued and secured the issuance of pat
ent through fraud. The other point
was that the land office and interior
department have no right or author
ity to write into land patents any
conditions or stipulations not set
forth specifically in the act of con-
gress under which patent was issued
These questions have arisen in the
department of the interior and in the
courts over and over again but in
spite of previous rulings the interior
department and land office frequent
ly has violated the rulings of the
courts. For this reason the court
in deciding the oil land cases, took
particular pains to emphasize its op-
inion on these two issues and left no
doubt as to how the law thereafter
shall be construed
Status OF Oil Lands
In the Southern Pacific case the
lands in controversy were granted to
the railroad company by an act of
congress passed in 1866. The lands
in question We're patented to the rail-
road company in 1894. Subsequent
to that time, in 1909, certain indiv-
iduals sought to attack the railroads
title and set up the contention that
the lands had been shown to contain
valuable oil deposits which since
have been developed by a subsidiary
company controlled by the Southern
Pacific. The record showed that at
the time the lands were patented to
the railroad company, there was no
evidence of record that the lands
contained oil; the government, prior
to issuing patent, failed to examine
the lands to ascertain whether or not
they were mineral in character and
if the presence of oil was known the
government was at fault in having
made no effort to determine the true
character Of the land. Therefore,
the court held that the railroads IT,
tie was good and valid.

A Problem for Justice,

An aged man took away to his home
in Ohio yesterday two sad-faced little
boys, Howard Oliver, aged eight, and
his brother Norman, two years
younger, the children of his daughter.
The lads each possessed a capital of
sI.25, the first money they have ever
had. representing witness fees paid
them by the court for telling the
grand jury how their father tried to
kill them and himself with illunlinat-
ing gas. The three were found uncon-
scious and rescued by neighbors.
The people of Washington have had
their sympathies worked rpon full
measure recently; perhaps it has been
rather overdone. But it is not a
strained-after pathos and tragedy that
is revealed in the case of these boys
and their father.
1t may be that nothing remains to
be done for them here; that they will
find good friends and be we'll cared for
at the home of their grandfather that
they will forget the dark chapter of
their early childhood and grow up
useful men. There IS one step, how
ever, that the law has yet 10 consider.
To convict the father of attempted
murder it will be necessary to bring
the boys back to Washington to tell
their story to jury and judge. The
father is in jail, awaiting trial. Ex-
planning his deed, he said:
They cried all the time for their
mother and it was so pitiful l couldn't
stand it any longer"
The mother had left her home: it
doesn't matter why. The question for
justice to decide is whether these chill
drer should be brought back to send
their father to prison for a period of
years or be left in Ohio 10 grow up
