gaping fireplace, after the fashion Of

and a dressing-table on the left.side
of the window. These articles, with
two small wicker-work chairs, made up
all the furniture in the room, save for
square of Wilton carpet in the Gen.

ing of the walls were Of brown, worm
eaten oak, SO old and discolored that
it may have dated from the original

CHANGE JURISDICTION
NAVAL OIL RESERVES

WASHINGTON. June 2.-President
Harding Wednesday signed an execu-
tive order transferring the naval oil
reserves from the Jurisdiction of the
navy department to the interior de-
partment Two Of the reserves are
located in California one in Wyoming
and one each in Colorado and Utah.
The action was characterized in an
announcement at the navy department
as the first of the big changes in the
administration s policy of co-ordinat-
ing the work of the various depart
mentS."
Navy to Be Heard.
The order, which is effective at once
stipulates that mo general policy as
to drilling and reserving oil located
in naval reserve shall be changed
or adopted except upon consultation
and cooperation with the secretary or
acting secretary Of the navy"
The action was recommended by
Secretaries DENLY and Fall jointly, 1t
was announced 1t transfers to Secre-
tary Fall the leasing of drilling rights
in naval oil reserve No. ! in Califor.
mia. the only naval reserve thus far
opened to drilling in any way. Secre-
tarY DENLY announced recently tina:
leases would be granted on percent
age basis in this reserve, the plan be-
ing to sink offset wells and thus pre-
vent operators from tapping the outer
edge of the reserve by sinking wells
just outside the boundary line
Bids for these leasing rights were
to have been opened about April 90
but the action was postponed and the
proposals will now be turned over to

with the woodwork with which the
chamber was paneled. Finally he
walked over to the bed, and spent
some time in staring at it, and in run
ming his eye up and down the wall.
Finally he took the bell-rope in his
hand and gave it a brisk tug.
Why, it's a dummy" said he.
Wont it ring?"
NO, it is not even attached to a
wire. This is very interesting. You
can see now that it is fastened TO a
hook just above where the little open

How very absurd! l never noticed

Very strange." muttered Holmes.

or two very singular points about this
room. For example, what fool a
builder must be to open ventilator
into another room, when with the
same trouble, he might have COM
municated with the outside air."
That is also quite modern said
the lady.
Done about the same time as the
bell-rope?' remarked Holmes.
Yes, there were several little
changes carried out about that time.
They seem, to have been of most
interesting character - rummy bell

Why Should The Business Woman
Suffer Social Ostracism And Be
Barred From The Exclusive
Inner Circle.

/. Clouded minds are cropping for en-
lightment on all subjects. Has this
cne ever occurred to you and the why
and wherefore9 The matter is a Vi
tai one to many business women not
from a personal viewpoint nor from
any pleasures derived from being a
lnember of the exclusive circle but
from a deep sense of Injustice. Why
is a woman considered ineligible ana
looked down upon simply because she
has the mind and desire to accomplish
things which were ages ago consider
Ell outside of a woman's sphere, but
which are now recognized as heing
absolutely essential to the welfare of
the community?
1t has been proven repeatedly that
one can manage and control a model
home, retain the respect of man and
yet exercise her capabilities as bust
ness woman. Yet her own sex con-
dennis her to social isolation. 1t is,
in misunderstood sense, even worse
when she is compelled to do this in
crder to support herself. No matter
how brilliant the mind, how stainless
the character the fact remains "She
works for her living" This is the
stigma on an otherwise clean ami
faultless shield and keeps her outside
the pale of society. Society is sup
posed to be the more cultivated por-
ton of community but sometimes
we wonder! Culture is generally I'M
dCrstood to mean a refining of the
moral or intellectual faculties and not
narrow minded vision with which
some are imoued.
The age of the "shop girl" as we'll
as the "clinging violet" is past. Both
are somewhat obsolete. The shop
girl is developing surprising charac-
teristics and unknown possibilities
likewise the "clinging violet" Don't
let US do as so many are doing,
"Shout Democracy and Practice Au-
tocracy," but let us adjust our ideas
to the times and take little broader
outlook on life.
