The competition of the first powers Of the world for
oil territory has grown more active since the European
war than ever in previous history. The war impressed
the high value and extreme Importance of oil and its
products. Among the writers on war topics the view
is held by several that the next war will be fought for
OIL And because of its vital Importance the control
of producing oil fields will place a nation in a very ad-
vantageous situation. The development of motor me
chanics, and the application to human progress has
made Of the present an age of oil.
In industry there is no end to the use of the mo-
tor. We see it every day driving the wheels of ma
chinery. In transportation it has become a rival of
the steam engine and in agriculture it is doing most
Of the farmer blowing, threshings pumping of water
and marketing Of products.
The diversity of employments of the motor are an
nually increased and the end is nowhere in sight. And
throughout the civilized world the motor has found
its place and work
Early in the war Germany protected her own coal
fields and then rushed to control those Of France but
as the war advanced coal appeared less valuable and
oil of higher Importance. The war for coal is in the
past and the war for oil is in the future. Industrial
supremacy Of the future will depend more upon oil
than any one item and by the same token the nation
with the greatest supply of oil will win any war she
undertakes. .
In the approaching disarmament congress we can
well afford to take the lead in discarding battleships
and all the obsolete forms of defense and ofense that
require the the vast expenditure of money, and de-
pend for our future protection upon oil, chemistry and
the motor.

DIED 70 SAVE OTHERS.

There were many acts of bravery and heroism
among the crew and passengers in the sinking of the
Alaska on the California coast, but no case stands out
in holder relief than that of Thomas johnson. He
was a hero Of the old school. He placed his wife in
a crowded lifeboat and kissed her goodbye. When
begged to come aboard to safety, he bade her not to
worry, there were yet other women to save and un-
til all were rescued he would take his chances on
reaching shore. As long as there was hope of saving
human life this capable man did his duty az he saw
it. he did it bravely and effectively. He took his
chances as he said he would. He even reached the
shore, but he expired in a few moments thereafter.
Mrs. johnson is a widow and most of what they pos
sessed went down in the Inflated ship, but she will
have the one consolation that Thomas johnson was a
real man and when he went it was in the making of
a real record.

BUSINESS.

The Philadelphia Ledger has been looking into the
matter very closely and has made this discovery:
where does the man get off who says business is
rotten and then, day after day, plays golf? Golf isn't
a bad thing once a week, but a person who devotes
six or seven days a week to it is masquerading when
he poses as a business man.
"There is work for those who go after it.
"There is business for those who hustle.
"one of the young men who made a job for him
self says there hardly is a building in this city that
hasn't some task of carpentry, painting, glazing or re-
pair to be'done, and that the reconstruction required
by neglect of maintenance is one of the colossal
wastest of today.
"If you want a job make one for yourself.
'Tf you want business get busy.
'Quit complaining"

BossED AND REcULArEp.

Asserting that we are the most regulated and bossed
free people on earth today and held to stricter ac-
count than the people of any autocratic governSaent
in the world, the Eew York World makes these spe-
cifc observations:
Topeka, Kan, has suffered its first wholesale Gig
arctic raid under the cigarette prohibition law. In
Wisconsin a state law abolishing bars provides that
even the purchasers of non-alcoholic drinks must
stand far enough away from the counter so that they
can neither raise a foot to the rail-nor set down their
glasses. This is one days news, but every other day
matches it with instances of useless and tyrannical
governmental interference with individual morals.
When it isn't the over-officious beach censor it's the
film censor. When these are negligent it is the sup
pressor of books, the prohibition raider of private
dwellings and inspector of baggage or the advocates
of blue Sunday. Throughout all these activities runs
q single creed-the belief of fanatics that the pursuit
of happiness is vicious and that personal liberty en-
dangers the state.
mo other country except Russia has put up with
SO much bounding from petty officials acting under
petty laws as has the United States. 1t is doubtful
il even Russian citizens under the Bolshevik bureau
crazy have so little freedom of action in social mat
tiers as is left to the citizens of this independent re-
public. The nation is chaperoned by purity leagues
and governed by prohibitionists. There is not a legis-
lative body in the country that lives up to the puri-
tanical laws it has passed. Prohibition and the moral
that follows in its train comprise one gil
gsntic and offensive fraud.
But the people of the United States take it all sit
ting down; their rebellion goes no further than

sAMno. A

The great army Of American boys and girls, con-
Stunning their ice cream cones these hot August days
do not stop to consider the great debt they owe to
Sambo Jackson, n negro pastry cook in an old fash
toned tavern in New York, who something like a hun
bred and FIVE years ago accidentally hit upon ice cream
as a suitable dessert for the patrons of the hosiery
which he served.
It was purely an accident on Sampos part in de-
vising something new and pleasing but he perfected
the combination of cream and eggs, and froze them
in a crude way and enjoyed a monopoly for quite a
time, carefully preserving the process secret.
The ice cream of today is an entirely different arti-
Gle from the refreshment Sambo turned out, but all
things must have a beginning and be improved and
perfected. Sambo's credit is in the discovery and he
ought to have a monument to the memory of his great
achievement, for ice cream is not only a delight to
boys and girls, it makes summer endurable to people
CT all ages. Everybody has the ice cream habit, and
the wonderful combinations that have grown out of
Sambo's discovery would make him mighty proud if he
could come back to earth and view proceedings at a
drug store soda counter during a busy hour.
Sambo we = benefactor and his memory should
not be permitted to fade from earth.

EFFECTIVE PRESSURE.

The New York Herald has been looking into the
matter of pressure of one kind and another and has
discovered that can oceanographer says that if a d.
YER were to be lowered to the floor of the greatest
ocean depth in a heavy steel shell with thick glass
windows, and the windows were to break under the
pressure of six tons to the square inch, "a jet Of wa
ter harder than the hardest steel, with a pressure be-
hind it greater than the largest guns exert, would
spread the diver over his shell like butter over bread.
AT last! There's the pressure to be applied to con-
gressional appropriation committees to obtain econ
omy in the public expenditures"

HIS VOICE

Music lovers the world over have wondered whether
or not the records of Caruso's magnificent voice would
remain with US in photograph records permanently or
whether in time the master matrices would become i'm
perfect. The phonograph people give this assurance:
Records which have been made are preserved in
such a way that they can be handed on from genera
ton to generation without loss or deterioration. The
master matrices are cared for in such a way that there
is absolutely no loss or change, and new negative
cnn be made from these indefinitely"
