and ancient architecture known as the
State, War and Navy Building. 1t is as long
as a Pullman car, and in some ways re-
sembles one. There are many mirrors; at
least there is the impression of many mir
rors. There are silver trophies and trim
models of warships under glass. At one end
of the room there is fine, shining sword,
hung on the wall in a glass case
Finally, there is the Secretary OF the Navy
himself
He used to be a genial, easy, lounging
kind of Secretary by all the carly accounts
OF him. He isn't any longer There is a
touch of austerity, of formality about him
as he stands behind his fiat, broad desk
and says in greeting: "Gentlemen"
The photographs of the Secretary in the
days when he was being photographed show
broad, rounded. soft, smiling face 1t is
walking along Main-Street- howdy- Bill how
dy Joe kind of face. 1t is linen -duster-
corner grocery kind of face But the Sec.
rotary who stands now to greet the Wash

Of those photographs. He has left that face
behind him. 1t is a part of the long ago.

n Dream now them all:
Here is your narrow bed,
Your grassy pail.
Children and home and wife
Voices that call
All to a happy life
Dream you them all.
Never to fin them vain
Something apart;
Never to feel the pain
Clutching your heart.

More Formal and Serious Now

Inc Secretary wears a well fitting and
somewhat formal cutaway coat now,
trimmed with braid. And his face has
squared away little at the chin, the souar-
ing away that comes to all chins if circum-
stances keep the jaws set for long enough
tune. The cheeks aren't as soft as thew
used to be. The eyes are a little harder,
too; the mouth a little straighter. And over
all this is the taut look of repression, of
control, of a knowledge of events beyond
the immediate moment and of an under
standing which comprchends them
i nave no news to-day, gentlemen" saws
the Secretary, and continues standing to
receive chance questions. He answers them
briefly. succinctly. Only once does this new
composure break. while the Secretary leans
over his desk in the direction of the oucs
toner to ask for the question again. His
lace breaks its immobility into slight
testness Of humor. The brows furrow, the
cheeks wrinkle lmpatiently. But it is mo-
mentary, and the Secretary is him self-his
now self-again. He has learned we'll the
official trick of dismissal A slight turn
toward the door, move as if to reseat him
self, and the conference is over. He sits
down he arose-gravely.
Is this the same Josephus Daniels who
came to the navy five years ago? 1t is
hard to say. Faith alone can Judge him. for
II we demand works rather than faith we
are pointed to the screen of secrecy be-
hind which the navy must linger until Fate
changes the status of certain feet which
fingers in the Kiel Canal At least. il is
possible to accept the need of faith with
some measure of preliminary trust Did
not the Oliver report to Senate committee
Jew months ago give the navy boost so
definite and well aimed that it must have
startled navy accustomed for so long to
hard knocks? Moreover, no news in the
case of the navy comes pretty close to
being good news. And in this instance it is
certain that the navy knows it's job and is
doing it.
Some Of this may be due to the fact that
1T is our navy. But it has been our War
Department, too; assurcdly that isn't valid
reason.
AT any rate, there is the Secretary of the
Navy with a new face. 1t might be almost
reasonable to suppose that he had some
thing to do with it,

Dietary Economics
By Theodore NJ. Knappen

NV WASHINGTON, March 31-This is
wv good time to conserve fat and
weight by putting it on. You
may not eat wheat, but there is plenty Of
meat The time is coming when meats
will be scarccr than ever At that time.
however, it may be your privilege TO rcvel

wheat. We get our balanced rations tan.
dem. The food problem is full of strange
sequences.
Because we had too large corn crop
we now have TOO much meat. Because We
have too much meat now we shall have
too little next fall. Because shipping is
scarce we must snip more wheat. Rush
ing wheat from our scant stores 10 the
Allies, we arc importing it ourselves from
Australia. Next fall and winter we may
have so much wheat that we shall mol

OIL WELL QUITS

but the Location Is Not Deter-

The test we'll drilled on the coun-
~ farm is a failure. After many
adventures and several readjust-
ments. the casing is being removed
and the we'll is abandoned. II
reached a depth of 1850 feet ana
the company intended to drill 5oo
feet more. but difficulties were en-
countered that made it inadvisaple.
The we'll is the deepest ever drliied
in the county. It's expense was
horne by the Atlas Oil Co., which re-
ceived a half interest in 2O,O0O acres
of leases obtained by the Dickln-
son County Oil and Gas Co. for TINS
service. 1t was begun last March
and work has been going on with
some interruptions since. Many con-
Trajectory reports we're given out Dy
the drillers. but the facts seem 10
he that the drillers started the hole
too small at the top and when the
lowest depth was reached the hole
was too small for operation. Ihere
were good oil indications at times
and it is believed that if the whole
depth could have been reached IL
would have been a producer.
The local company is planning TO
nut down another test we'll as soon
as arrangements can be compleIeu.
It's location is not determined and II
will probably be not great distance
from the present well.
For this we'll the local pro-
motors will have to pay a portion OF
the expense A depth of 3,5OO lee'
is held to be necessary to test thor
oughly the oil conditions OF this
area. Experts here stated that the
well was located too far west and
that better prospects are in sight IN
east Dickinson, but the Atlas com
nany selected the county farm loca'
ton after its own experts had made
exhaustive study of the land. Loca
investors have lost only promotion
expenses and the Atlas company Il
the big loser, probably spending
$4,000 or more on the abandoned
well. The casing will be available
for use elsewhere.
