Crude Oil and Gasoline

The price of crude oil. from which gasoline is made has been cut in two But we haven't noticed any drop in the price of gasoline Here and there the refiners have Topped off a two but in the main we paying the old high prices.
 Three months ago, refiners and pipe line panies were paying oil producers s610 barrel for Pennsylvania crude oil. This price has dropped $3 barrel.
 The price of all other gasoline producing crude oil has dropped correspondingly, with the exception of California oil, price of which has been given backbone by the possibility of mild oil and gaso line shortage in Pacific coast states.
 The refiners say that they can't cut gasoline prices until they get huge oil stocks bought at biob prices But stocks of crude oil hand in the United states January 1921 totaled only 137, ooo 900 barrels according the American Petroleum Institute. That less than four months supply and is practically used now.
 When crude oil prices collapsed, the huge ,ankape in the middle west nearly empty Re liners and pipe line companies now filling up their tankage with cheap oil-which means cheaper cost gasoline

CLOUD MlRAGES

In the South was castle tower, With a drawbridge and moat, Knights in glittering mail
 And a warden in crimson coat. In the West a dragon sprawled, Vomiting yellow fire With red hot claw at rest
 On the top of gilded spire. Far in the North a ship
 Of shimmering mother of pearl, With Haunting banners of pink, It's sails began to unfurl And loi in the East bed
 Of lilies commenced to grow, Wonderful tall white blooms
 With petals of shining snow. The moon in her silver crown
 Came up and walked on them, Gliding on feet of light Der delicate bud and stem, Till the cloud flowers blew apart
 And she moved in a sapphire lane, With pale young star as maid
 To carry her misty train.

Colonel Harvey, Ambassador

Before definite, official announcement made Friday of the appointment of Colonel George W. Harvey to be ambassador to Great Britain. Co- onel Harvey had been weighed and measured by the American press, republican, democratic and inde- pendent. The judgment rather against him the ground that his many gifts of high order not those essential diplomacy and tact.
 It was admitted that he possessed amazing rhetorical powers; that in vitroic composition he was without in America; that he was questionaby man to whom the adjective brilliant" could be applied. But it asserted that he without judicial poise and totally innocent of dipo matic experience. His reputation. it stated that of literary pugilist; that he had knock punch that might be lkened to the paralyzing poke of his contemporary MT. Dempsey. But tact, disposition to cooperate and respect for they held to be traits with which Colonel Harvey had not speaking acquaintance. We think Colonel Harvey has been condemned on too slight evidence, instances less isolated which in way indicate his character with respect to these necessary qualifications the diplomat.
 We will agree that Colonel Harvey was appar- ehtly in his warfare upon MT. Wilson. in castgation of Bureson the political master" on Baker. the invertebrate. and Josephus. But is it possible that this apparent tactessness after all of the highest order? worthwhile tact is winning and we know of DO who contributed so much to the public sentiment against the Wilson regime as Colonel Harvey, through "Harveys Weekly"
 His in dealing with the Wilson admins tration of fierce, swift and indiscriminate destruction. His tactics may have suggested bull in china shop. but the bulls operations ducted blindly. Bulls fight charge with their eyes shut. Colonel Harvey's maloveent open and fixed upon his enemies. And often the work of construction. especially reconstruction must stage the workman who proceeds the most speedily is really the most tactfuL
 It was not pleasant task Colonel Harvey, for know that counted off in big black type, the days in his Weekly" until it should be finished when could give himself to congenial labor
 Also the apparent tactlessness of Colonel Har- vey exhibited only in his dealings with his countrymen, those of his national household. That really proved nothing against the colonel a diplomat. There multiplied instances of sharp tongued, i'll tempered, wives. husbands mothers and fathers, who paragons of polteness outside the domestic circle and beloved by all the neighbors
 We do not think that Colonel Harvey is such victim of dementia Americana that he will become offensive to foreigners. Yet think he is immune against anglo mania. He may not take readily tc that will not signalize his entrance the ann lions tail.
 At present participate in any regret a the appointment of Colonel Harvey only because i will deprive of "Harvey's Weekly" without whicl American journalism cannot be quite the same.

Coal Must Change Color

 The United States has the world $ greatest supply of Ignite There are some thousand billion odd tons of it waiting to be mined. The supply is practically ineXhaustible. Long after the last piece of black coal has been mined the Ignite mines will still be doing business and the many by pro ducts of Ignite will be used in the household and shop. Lignite is, ac- cording to experts of the bureau oi Mines. the commercial and economic future of the United States.

WASHINGTON. March 31-"Black as coal" won't mean anything in the United States in another 20 years, because most of the coal which we will use then will be brown in color and will come in the form of neat briquettes which vii not soil the fin gers.
 This new fuel should also be much cheaper, for the by-products which will be extracted in the process of making the briquettes should more than pay for the cost of mining. A ton of this new coal will yield not only fuel for the furnace. but also fuel for the flivver, cooking gas for the kitchen range, fertilizers, high explo- sives, cosmetics and a number oi other things
 The consumer will call the new pro duet brown coal, but the scientist vii know it as Ignite. Lignite, the pool relation of the black coal known to- day has been despised and ignored

The Dance Halls

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 Though a stranger in your charm ing city I cannot refrain from speak ing a word in regard to the local dance hall situation.
 While each locality possesses its own peculiar problems which must be dealt with separately, there are prob lems which in a general way are the same everywhere, and though unfa- miliar with conditions here, as social welfare worker 1 have participated in the solution elsewhere.
 From the viewpoint of one who has made dance hall supervision study and served a city as inspector, have beheld with surprise and amaze ment the drastic measures employed in this city.
 Certainly it should be only after a thorough survey, a careful investiga- tion by trained social workers, and i only after every other means had been tried and had failed. that a wholesale closing of dances could be justified.
 The dance hall problem has been | solved in recent years in progressive cities in all parts of the country by l the chaperonage system of supervi-
 sion This has proven most success ful and ha resulted in every case
 where established on the proper basis in a marked raising of the standard
 of dance-hau conduct.
 This plan is carried out by the ap-
 pointment of a capable and qualified
 woman, preferably a social worker
 as supervisor, who shall be in atten'
 dance at the dances The right typ'
 of woman will not only raise tn
 standard of conduct but will find il , this work a broad field of servic' : in the protection which she can offe ; to girls and young women
 , An adequate set of dance hall rule'
 and regulations drawn up by the cit, and which the supervisor is empow cred to enforce is an essential factor To those well -intentioned, but, ] fear. misinformed people who seel the abolishment of dance halls,
 would say, and 1 speak as one wh ? has served sincerely, with the welfar of the young as the prime object 0 r service: Beware, lest eliminatin
 what you regard as one evil. you opel up the way for others with which yo 2 will find yourself powerless to dea ? The dance is a natural expr@>sio s of the human race. Il ls on eX

GAMBLERS HANDS

I believed in fiction in music and in art had been through every emotion, that had sounded the depths of thought. Now know that 1t is body brain that you can read character, but in the gesture of a hand
 You artists who paint triangies that look like battlefelds, but meant to be a lady in bath who reve in splashes color denoting some Cubist emotion of your own, a simple green baze cloth, I could show you of the greatest natural emo- tons in the world The emotion of hands.
 What is the impression that carry with me from the Monte Carlo Casino? Just this. kaleidoscope shape and form against a full green setting What picture for artist
 What a pitiful tragic display of secret weak nesses and vice. Occasionally beautiful hand surrounded by the palsed the cluching and the old Every thought every atom of concentration is in the varied fingers that give and take.
 Let Augustus John of his disciples go to the Casino Carlo and paint the long, coffin shaped table by these hundreds of human hands, Eliminate the bodies-they are but empty shells. Cut them from the elbow, and you will have picture more cruelty expressive than the nirrored reflection of face
 The real gambler bites his nails
 The man who gambes for his actual living leaves his nails unwashed
 The slim nervous, boyish hand may one day hold pistol to it's owners head.
 The beautiful hand throws down its money for a jest.
 And yet, all this mass of twisting, turning, fold ing and unclosing fingers home and perform their normal duties. Some COOK; some tutter at lovers necks: others rock cradles
 Behold emotion is once more the machinery convention is work. It is midnight. The Casino doors are closed.-The Rance of Sarawak in the Continental Edition the London Mail

strange that it did not occur to your mind while you were writing, that a law enacted by any of our legislative bodies, that would deprive me and my family of the freedom guaranteed us by the Lord and the constitution of the United States" would be within itself unconstitutional, and would be so held by our courts.

 To stand up for our dear old south. But if one should so far forget himself
 As to dare upon our rights to tread, We'll kill him dead with a shower of

 And elect another in his stead. One who never will forsake us,
