Fewer Contestants

Several of the contestants found it
impossible to take up the gruellng
work of the campaign and are with
drawn. This leaves only eight can
didates in the race for $780, cash
prizes given by the Mail in its Big
Subscription Building Campaign, six
of whom are in Winslow. There is
still time for some aggressive young
woman to enter the race, even though
the contest has only eleven days to
run, but she must make her inten-
tention known before tomorrow, Sat
urday night. There is big field
still left uncovered, and with small
expenditure of energy her possibili-
ties are unlimited.
Should the list of candidates stand
as it is now the finish of the race
should be an exciting one. The Wrist
Watch Prize offered this week will
create intense enthusiasm among the
candidates and their friends, and the
rivalry will be keen for the posses
sion of this beautiful prize.

Period of Service
on Shore.
tAssociated Press)

washington, Feb. 3.-Taking ur
the contentious of Rear Admiral Sims
in the matter of naval awards point
by point, Secretary Daniels appear
ing before the senate investigating
sub committee took direct and en-
phatic issue with the admiral, flank
ed by voluminous records, from the
navy department.
Daniels went into detail, explain
ing changes made in comforting dec
orations as recommended by the
commanding officer of the navy
and by the Knight board of
awards. The secretary outlined tive
of the chief differences between his
views and the viws of Sims in award
ing medals. These were at variance
as to the Importance of service at
sea compared with service ashore
and the difference was in the ques-
tion of whether a distinguished ser
vice medal should be awarded under
any circumstances to the commander
of ships sunk or seriously damaged
by enemy submarines or mines.
He said "the position taken by
Sims in placing shore duty above sea
duty in the danger zone was infiu-
enced no doubt by his own record
Figures were then presented by Dan
iels showing that during the last %
wears Sims had served about 16 on
shore duty and 8 at sea.

in the price of Pennsylvania crude
oil to $5 a barrel will result in the
widest search for petroleum this sec

Already it has started. and leases
are being taken on territory which
was drilled over more than half q
century ago and then abandoned for
more productive fields. Drilling has
been commenced in some Of these
leases. and results have been so good
as to encourage others. One field

the early seventies because the one
well drilled proved to be a 'duster'
has produced a number of wells the
