President Harding Keeps an Open House at
Capital Sees a Marked Change
Since Days of Woodrow Wilson
Public Is Now Free to Wander Through White House
Grounds, Long Closed During Democratic Adj
ministration; Chief Executive Easily Accessible

the White House for dinner, just as
they did to the Harding home whom
the President was Senator and lived
in northwest Washington, few blocks
from the Indiana Senator.
On another night strict conventions
we're thrown to the wind at littls
dinner party at which the President
and Mrs. Harding entertained three or
four Cabinet members with their wives
and four or Ave Senators with their
wives.
These dinners have not been chron-
icled in the daily news dispatches. No
particular attention was attracted to
them. They are not regarded by the
White House as of news Importance, as
was, for instance, the dinner President
Harding gave the Senate and House
leaders just after Inauguration. This
was openly for the purpose of discuss
ing the program in Congress. 1t is the
intimate contact brought about by these
informal dinners which makes the
sharp contrast with the Wilson admin
istration.
President and Mrs. Wilson on some
occasions may have entertained group
of Senators and their wives, though no
one here can recall it, Relative to the
formal dinners, President Wilson would
have been much more likely to have
he wanted done.
The only occasions recalled here of
a series of conferences at the White
House during the last Administration
was when the President was trying to
win over to his views men who already
had gone on record publicly as oppos-
ing him. President Hardings plan is
obviously to conciliate them in advance.
Certainly the effect might be presumed
to keep his one-time colleagues in bet
ter humor.
Harding Easily Accessible
To Large Number of Callers
The physical movements Of the
President around the capital are not
different In any important particular
from those of Prcsidars Wilson. The
two motorcycle policemen who former
ly preceled President Wilson's auto
mobile have been eliminated, but the
touring car of Secret Service men still
follows him. Until his illness Presi-
dent Wilson played great deal Of
golf, motoring out to the clubs around
Washington, morning or afternoon, as
his fancy dictated. President Harding
confines his golfng to the late after
noon and makes up for it by working
at night.
The great difference in the Executive
offices, to one who watched, is that
President Harding sees an infinitely
larger number of callers. Members Of
his Cabinet seem to wander in and out
of his Office almost at will. Senators
and members Of the House seem to
have little difficulty in making appoint

LONDON, March 1s.-Americans who
have visited London will learn with
regret of the passing of Morley's Hotel,
Trafalgar Square, one of the most
popular houses with Americans here.
The effects of the house have just been
sold at auction, and Morely's will be
remodeled asan Office building, to serve
as the London headquarters of the
Union Of South Africa.
Looking out upon Trafalgar Square,
the Nelson Monument and the Lions.
Morley's was the established headquar-
ters OF many Americans who came year
after, year to London. It was an ex-
elusive and quiet hotel, and the Vic
torian calm fingered here long after
Mo'ley's had been supplanted by newer
and more garish hotels.

Statewide Attention of
Oil Men is Centered on
Carter County Prospects

Apparent indications at the present
time are that when market conditions
right themselves and drilling will be
carried OH without endangering :he
market quotations. Carter county will
possibly become more active in oper
atoms than any other pool in the coun-
try. Oil men from every part OF the
state, and many from other states,
who have made thorough study of
oil producing and prospective oil pro-
ducing territories throughout the
country, are unanimous In their decis-
ion that this county presents the most
likely prospects and is worthy of being
drilled in every corner. The long life
Of its wells. the many and prolific
sands, and the few abandonments which
can really be classed as dry" COM
bincd with the legitimate nature of the
Operators already here, have attracted
the attention OF many outside oper-
ators during the past few months. 1t
is expected that within the next few
weeks, several locations for more in
teresting tests in this county will be
announced, and more will follow.
Carter county has lead the state in
oil production for many months, and
IL has already been touched as far as
drilling is concerned. There is not a
single spot in the county that is con
demned, for although wells on the
edges Of fields here have encountered
salt water and been cassed as dry,
! nevertheless it has been proven that
oil in large quantities may exist To-
/ cation away. Abandoned wells may
condemn Il partial territory for brief
period, but more tests In the imme.
diate vicinity have always been drilled
later. due TO the confidence which the
operators display in the local areas.
Figures compiled by the Oil and
Gas journal show that during the
past six months, Carter county has
been the biggest oil producing area in
the state. During the first six months
IN 1921, Carter county produced II,
50 ,9s2 barrels total, and the neares
county to II was Creek, with total
production during the same period of
.lO,QiO.346 barrels. Figures covering
the oil producing areas of the state
are given as follows:
