extent. That is all that can pos sibly be done other than the ac- tual drilling of wells to prove that the surface indications do not belle this belief.
 Two more prominent geolo- gists. we are told, will be in Hol- brook within the next few days or more to investigate particu- larlv some of the holdings of the men interested. This shows that those men who make the oil business their life work always employ competent geologists be- fore they commence active de- velopment. They must first have 2 favorable surface condition be- fore they will invest their money in the ground. Itshows, further, that these men all have faith enough in the district to employ geologists to make examinations.
 From conversations with a number of oil men who have made Holbrook their headquar- ters for past few weeks or months, we learn that several will shortly have drilling rigs on their properties. Should any one of them strike a moderate flow of oil, even at a shallow depth. this would stimulate the devel- opment of the entire district to an extent such as it would be hard to conceive by those un- familiar with the rapid growth of oil communities in various parts of the country.
 Taken altogether, the condi- tions warrant even the most skeptical of our residents being imbued with a feeling of great satisfaction. That the oil indi- cations are here has been demon strated beyond question, and this being true, it will encourage oil men to bore the necessary wells and prove that the geological findings do not belle conditions.

SIDES OF FACE NOT ALIKE
Afford Proof Of the Familiar Axiom
There Are no Duplicates In
Nature.

Most Of ms have heard the express
sion 1.-TWO faced" applied to some one
in scorn. says the Minneapolis Journal.
II always has been taken to means that
the person so described was hypOcrit-
ical.
Psychologists recently have under
taken to prove that all of us are two
faced That is TO say, they maintain
that the two sides Of the human face
differ. And the left side of the face
is the more comely of the two. In
proof Of the assertion, 1t is said that
in taking profile pictures photogra-
piers usually pose their subjects so as
to expose the left side of the head.
Now for the scientific proof. The
left side of the brain, as is well known
does practically all Of the thinking
and scheming, while the right side re-
lates more closely to the physical ana
is the base of the senses. But, strange
Iy enough. these two portions OF the
brain control opposite sides Of the body'
and as the left side Of the brain does
the hardest work 1t imposes the great
est strain upon the muscles and nerves
on the right side Of the body. Thus
the muscles of the right cheek are
more constantly In use and undergo
greater stress than those of the left
side, and this causes deeper wrinkles
upon the right side Of the face. But
this condition has another result. AS
being in closer touch with the thinking
half of the brain, the right side OF the
face has greater animation and the
right eve Is more expressive than the
left. It is a familiar axiom that there
are no duplicates in nature. The phys
ioiogists claim that this is one OF the
causes for differences in the features
Of the same person-that nature never
models two eyes or ears in an exactly
Identical way.

Suggestions Of Wage Body Carried
Out, But Hours of Work Are Not
To Be Reduced-RetroactiV TO Last
January I.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
ashington.-General pay increases
for nearly two million railroad en-
ployes were announced by Director
General McAdoO, retroactive to last
January l, carrying out substantially
recommendations. of the Railway
Wage Commission. The aggregate Of
the increases probably will be more
than $500, 100000 a year, half of which
will be distributed within a few weeks
as back pay in lump sums ranging
from about 800 to nearly 5000 each.
The Director General departed from
the Wage Commissions recommends
tions in the following particulars:
The principle of the basic eight-hour
day is recognized, but owing to exigen,
cies of the war situation, hours of en-
ployment are not Actually reduced and
overtime is to be paid pro rata; future
readjustments of pay are to be made
on the basis of eight hours.
In addition to the ordinary scale OF
increase, day laborers, employed main
ly on track work, are to get at least
~ cents an hour more than they re-
ceived last December 81. A minimum
of 55 cents an hour is established for
the shop trades including machinists,
boiler makers and blacksmiths; and
women are to receive the same pay as
men for the same work, and negroes
are to get the same as white men for
similar employment. To work out a
multitude of inequalities of pay among
employees doing similar work in differ
ent localities, and other injustices
caused by varying rules Of employ
ment and condition of organization,
the Director General created new
Board of Railroad Wages and Working
Conditions, consisting of three labor
representatives and three railway ex
ecutives, which will conduct extensive
Investigations and recommend wage
and other employment changes.
All increases now ordered will be do
termined according to a percentage
scale, ased on pay received in Decem
ber. 1915, and any increases which
nave been allowed within that time
will be deducted. In many cases
raises in pay in the last two and hall
years are about equal to the increases
now approved, and consequently those
employees will get little or no more
To correct just such situations, when
injustices are apparent, will be one OF

It is a mistake to suppose that nobody
ever goes cleaning, for they do; 1t is
also n mistake to suppose that 1t is
