HOW OLD IS ANN2

Influenced by the reports of David White, Chief Geolo gist of the United States Geological Survey, that the oil situation may constitute one of the greatest menaces to the future prosperity ot the United States" the Ad- ministration has ordered an exhaustive survey of the pro- bable recovery of oil in the United States.
 An "oil census" is to be made which will require nine months and the time of 20 men; it will be constant aim of the Investigators to determine approximately the life of the country's oil fields. Chic f Geologist White in commenting upon the petroleum situation said:
 Petroleum in the United States is a wasting asset so far depleted as no longer to afford a secure foundation for the obligations based up- on it's assumed continued adequacy"
 It is declared that as far as California conditions are concerned, the situation is aot as bad as in other parts of the country, because the high freight rates from Cal ifornia across the continent will tend to keep California petroleum upon the Pacific Coast. In addition to this, the rapid development of hydro-electric power is in a measure keeping ub with any possible slowing down in oil production.
 We have at present the largest reserve supply of gasoline in the history of the U. s. and it is a matter of record that the oil industry has always met every emer- gency. Conserving our sup plies of crude oil by elimin- ating waste is a wise policy but trying to estimate the life of the petroleum indus try is like trying to figure out the age of Ann, one gets nowhere in the attempt.
 Petroleum and encourage ment of the petroleum in- dustry will do more to pro- ong it's life than all the speculation as to the life of any known oil fields.

BASE BALL HOLBRO0K----LEUPP

- '~A O~A-
 Saturday evening, Sunday
 morning broke clear anC
 beautiful and the sun burned
 a baleful eye on the wet anc Isoggy field; players and fans
 alike sought to drain the
 field, as we'll as to fill de.
 pressions with dry dirt.
 Manager Lee was concerned
 both with the condition of the field and with the threat ened return of rain. By the time the game was called Old Sol had disappeared again and the game was be- gun under lowering skies,- -- but they didn't lower enough for old J. Pluv. to stage an- other rain storm.
 The infield was extremely fast, but right field and deep center resembled Johnstown after the flood had passed over. Both teams were in fine fettle and exhibited con- fidence, both in practice and on the field. Spencer for the braves pitched a splen- did game. Ted did likewise for his teammates. Manager Lees line up was good. The entire team showed up fine and dandy. So did Leupp.
 The Seventh inning devel- oped a marring festure. Gentry in stealing second was interfered with by Leupp's second sacker, and was called safe. This de- cision occasioned much talk. | They do say history repeats itself. Gentry attemped to negotiate third and was again called safe, al- t hough it appeared to of the fans that he was out by four feet. How ever, Umps. McCloskey claimed that the lad hold ing down the hotlend of the infield for Leupp took two 5tabs at Gentry, which if true entitled Gentry to be called safe. The decision, however, threatened to end the game but after much coaxing and the removal of umpire Mo- Closkey in favor of Caldwell, the game continued to the end --both fast and exciting. The Leupp boys are good sports and we are sorry any thing of a disagreeable nature developed.

A full supply of these have been sent to the clubs representative and are now ready for distribution.
 One of these is a general road map of the state; an- other shows the principal routes between Arizona points and southern Calif- fornia together with the dis tances; another shows &he principal routes to Fl Paso1 and points in New Mexico.

MOVIE BILL DEFEATED

Managers Of moving picture houses
met with disappointment last week
when the action Of the legislature
blighted their hopes for the privilege
of operating their theatres on Sun
day. Previously defeated in the SEN
ate, the bill met a similar fate in the
House by vote Of 65 to A, to in
definitely postpone further action on
the bill, which makes it probable that
the doom Of the bill is sealed, at least
so far as the present assembly is con-
cerned, s5r NJ

STATE OF MIND.

Everyone is asking when will bust
ness be better?" and almost everyone has
a different answer. Among the more in
teresting of such answers is that enc
put out by the research department of
the National Association of Credit Men,
which enjoys unusually complete facill-
ties for the gathering and cOllating of
opinions.
Here are the major factors which it's
report cites as retarding the return Of
normal business: Waiting for lower
prices. reluctance of labor to liquidate,
failure of retailers to adjust prices, I'M
employment, slow crop movements, de-
moralized foreign exchange, high freight
rates, uncertainty as to taxes, inability
of public and railroads to buy.
1t is worth noting that, of these
causes. no less than four are directly
traceable to a state of mind, and that
the others may fairly enough be credited
in some measure to it. The retailer and
the worker won't cut prices. The public
viii not buy, and no one knows yet how
the federal tax burden will be distrib-
uted.
Some years since, when times were
mons too good, the photographers had a
lot of fun over an official pronOuncement
that the business depression was largely
due to "a state of mind Now the
credit men, who really ought TO know,
explain the nations present predica'
ment in much the same way. No doubt
they are right about it, but their ex-
PLANTATION does not go far enough.

sHIRTWAisT DIPLOMACY.

Miss Alice VI. Robertson, congress-
woman from Oklahoma, says that any
woman who is to sit in the disarmament
conference ought to have the following
qualifications:
She should be learned in International
law. She should have diplomatic knoWl-
edge and training. She should be a lin
guist. Her social position should be
above question. / would eliminate all
social climbers. Women with ambition
for future political honOrs should not
be considered. r.
Added to these qualifications, a woman
for that position of trust, honor and re
sponsibility should have discretion
know how to listen and how to keep ST.
lent.
Here, indeed, is a delineation of a su-
per-woman. 1t tends to discourage, at
the outset, those who have maintained
that women should be represented in the
conference, although Miss Robertson ac-
| knowledges that she has in mind one
woman who might almost fill the bill.
There is natural curiosity as to who this
near-paragon may be.
As for men, let them refrain from sin
full pride. Where, indeed, is the states
man who measures up to the specitica-
tons? There are quite a few male pub
lie servants at Washington who ordi-
narily consider themselves capable of
handling international negotiations.
Since Miss Robertson outlined her ideal
of a disarmament commissioner, they
have maintained a modest silence.
Let women, as well as men, however,
take heart. Granting that a diplomat,
male or female, should be of the supernal
type described, we may still remember
that the most vicious diplomacy of Flu
ropean history has been the work of men
possessing the qualities mentioned.
Good will and common sense are POS
sibIy more important than professional
training. Perhaps shirtsleeve diplomacy
or shirtwaist dipIomacy-is more
likely to accomplish something worth
while.
