JOHN BULL coRNERING FUEL OIL

The senate has adopted a resolu- ton by Senator Poindexter, Repub- Hcan, of Washington (portrait here with), authorizing the federal trade commission to investigate recent in- creases in the market price of fuel oil in the United States, and especially on the Pacific coast.
 Action by the senate was taken after Senator Phelan, Democrat, Cali fornia, had charged that British inter- ests were attempting to acquire vast oil interests in California and that Great Britain was endeavoring to cor ner the world oil industry. He de clared that unless steps were taken to encourage American oil operations abroad the worlds supply will be in the hands of British nationals within q few years.
 Under the resolution, the commis- sion is authorized to investigate the source and supply of oil in this coun- try and also inquire into what cor porate interests have conducted the pr in the past few years, and whether the,

IMPORTANCE OF OUR OUTDOOR LIFE

Maj. Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, that dean of American fighting men, strongly urges that both state and federal aid be given to every legitimate movement to make attractive and perpetuate our outdoor interests.
 Hunting and fishing he places in the front rank of outdoor sports, which he believes was one of the greatest factors in making it possible for Uncle Sam to cross the seas with an army capable of standing the strain and acQuitting themselves as our boys did.
 General Scott knows whereof he speaks. Retired under the age limit, his robust body and keen mind per mitted him to spring back into the har- ness at his country's call. He credits his fitness to the clean outdoor life he has lead.

ADMIRAL "ROUGH-HoUsE' RoDMAN

When Admiral Hugh Rodman first came to the Pacific coast years ago as a junior officer soon after his gradua- ton from Annapolis he acquired the sobriquet Rough House" from men and officers of the navy.
 Returning now at the head of half the American navy, he brings deco. ration from the king of England, which in that country would cause him to be addressed "Sir Hugh" as knight com mander of the order of St Michael and St. George.
 Admiral Rodman throughout his naval career has been noted as dis ciplinarian. "He got things done," in the words of the navy. Direct methods of getting things done earned the title Rough House," bestowed in affection by his men and brother officers when he was young. Years later the same qualities brought him distinction from the British ruler, when Rodman was commander of the Sixth battle squad

GIVES DEFINITION OF POWER
Being a Description of That Which
Knows No Variabieness, Nor
Shadow of Turning.

Power was the beginning. 1t dates
back to the sun. Always it has been
twofold. Alternately 1t is rcpose and
effort, alternately growth and birth,
and always progress, Emerson Hough
writes In Pictorial Review.
Readiness and action in one, 1t is
both, 1t is neither, 1t is either.
The man-made motor of power purrs
gently on the level, but, opposed by
the activity, 1t summons itself, rouses
and roars alike it's protest and it's
pean.
The God-made river is power, end
less and renewed, dating back to I'M
ceasing SHOWS on eternal and unchang-
ing hills.
AT times, it is silent, and at times
tempestuous when opposed. Always it
is progress.
No power ever was or ever can be
lost. 1t goes from the primal unit, in
to the Monad, and it endures, twofold.
There is no divorce In the union Of
power. The woman mated to the man
really strong never leaves him, never
ceases to entwine her arms about his
neck.
1t Is the strong who give courage
and who offer faith, the weak who are
loose Tipped and unenduring.
In the monogamy Of purpose there is
no waverlng. The lion and the eagle
are strong; the rabbit and the guinea
pig are weak.
Power Is the law. We love 1t In its
calm, fear it in it's wrath. Our arms
never cease to embrace it, our souls
never cease to implore 1t.
Rightfully we reverence 1t, rightfully
do more than admire it. 1t is law it.

When Milk Sours.

Milk will sour In any kind of warm
aud moist temperature, and because
just before and during a thunderstorm
the air is generally quite warm and
moist, it is only natural that it should
turn sour. 1t is wrong, however, to
say or think that thunder makes milk
sour. Thunder is only a noise, and
noise cannot do anything but make
itself heard. The fact that 1t is gem
orally warm and moist, however, when
IL thunders, coupled with the fact that
these conditions of the air sour milk
very rapidly, has led people to con-
meet the two In their minds and caused
them to fall into the error of believing
that the thunder is responsible for the
change in the milk.

REAL PEACEMAKER, THIS DOG
Human Fools Completely Cured of All
Desire to Fight With Any Kind
of Living Thing.

Three men in Brooklyn, neighbors
and friends, were sent to st. Cath
crimes hospital recently suffering with
dog bites, and were attended by the
surgeons. The men were sitting in
the back yard of the residence of one
OF them and got into an argument
which turned into free-fOr-all fight.
The dog of one of the men, who was
lying asleep, said to himself: as not
this a pretty picture? Men have no
right to make brutes of themselves:
much less friends who have no reason
Tor difference. But since they really
want to fight so badly I will teach
them how to do the trick"
And so he rushed in and began to
bite them terribly, not sparing his
master. Stung with the pain, thew
turned from knocking each other to
hght the dog; but he was too much
for them, and cleaned out the crowd
Completely vanquishcd, the men made
break for a high fence and climbed
upon that, but the dog chewed tbe
calves of their legs till they pulled
themselves up out of his reach oton
the fence. The dog then went hacl,
TO his corner as though saying to him
self: Now guess they are cured. It
viii be a good while before they win
disturb the peace of this neighbor-
mood again, or disgrace my back
yard. And they were cured sure
enough. All the. fight was gnowod

did not even want to fight the dog.
