GIGANTIC OIL FRAUD
OF, NATIONAL SCOPE
New York, Boston and HoIyoke
Financiers Accused in Petro-
Ieum Corporation Probe.

Boston.-An alleged oil fraud, said
to involve the loss of $1,000,000 to in
vestors here and possibly millions in
other parts of the country, was dis
closed by federal attorneys here when
they made public eighteen names.
Charles NJ. Ludden, an attorney, and
John E. Gilcreast, an official of the
Exchange Trust Company, both of this
city, and Frederick E. Hershey, presi-
dent of the Motor Speciality Company
of Waltham, were arrested on the
charges which concern the activities
of the Petroleum Corporation Of Am
erica. All pleaded not guilty and were
held in $1,000 bail.
The federal authorities gave out the
following additional names of those
indicted:
Jacob II, Mettler, H. Francis Foley,
Frank w. Bernard, Edward A. Clark,
all of Boston; Edward II. Bushnell of
Holyoke; Allwyn Bell, Jr., Edwin B.
Codwell Charles r. Flint, George e.
Gudebrod, Boland H. Blaisdell, Clar-
ence D. Inman, Burt Fl. Clements,
Raymond d. Fuller, John A. Shellite,
and James L.. Carlton, all of New.
York city.
The government alleges the petro-
leum corporation organized under the
laws of Delaware, falsely advertised
that its capitalization was 100000, 900;
that the Standard Oil Company was
interested in it, that it constituted the
holding company for thirty-one oil con-
Germs that 1t had capital stock for
sale and that it had properties pro-
ducing 10000 barrels of oil daily, with
an annual income of $56,0O0,000.
1.-The defendants well knew, the
Indictment said, that the Petroleum
Corporation Of America had not been
and was not duly financed; that they
were selling stocks they did not have
that they did not operate extensive oil
fields; that they had never acquired
II property consisting of thirty-one
companies, named by 1t in its COM
munication." t.-,.. f.. '

But far beyond this, the moral and economic results of debiltated, illt-
crate and unframed manhood and womanhood that must spring from
these ee@poois where child labor is encouraged and is legitimate, infect
the entire nation.
All Of us would agree in the wish that the sense Of local government
and local responsibility in or country were such that each and every
state would advance itself to the forefront of progress in this, SO vital a
question. 1t would be far better for the future Of the republic If this
were true. With the growing population and growing complexity Of our
industrial and social life, the constant resort to federal control for sdu-
ton Of difficulties will yet undermine the very basis of social progress
by The destruction Of sense Of local responsibility.
However,, If it is impossible to secure this necessary safeguard TO our
people by local government, l am one Of those who consider the losses in
our sense of local responsibility are less than the losses to the nation as
a whole, and if all else fails / stand for amendment to the federal Con-
stitution that will give the necessary power and authority to compel action
in these states which are negligent Of their responsibilities
Clearly, if economic waste is reprehensble, waste of child life, whether
viewed economically n in terms of common and universal betterment,
is a blight that in its measure is more deplorable than war.
1t may be worth recontng that our system of individualsm can
only stand if We can make effective the supreme ideal of America This
ideal is that there shall be an equality Of opportunity for every citizen to
reach that position in the community to which his intelligence, abilities,
character and ambition enute him. am a strong believer in this pro-
gresiye indiyiduaism as the only road to economic, social and spiritual
safety and to human progress. Without this tenpcring ideal that Amer
len has evolved, indiyidualism will not stand.

IMPROVED

Men With Tools Enabled to Reach
Threatened Break in Levee and
Stop Rising Waters.


prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
A federal-aid road has just been COM
pleted in Arkansas which has already
saved millions of dollars to the COM
munity In which it Is built. Recently
during high water In the Mississippi
word came to Helena, Ark, that the
levee at Old Town, II miles away,
was about to break. The situation
was critical. A few hours delay and
thousands of acres of rich farming
land would be flooded, and possibly
many lives lost. Helena was the only
source Of aid. and many men with
tools and material were needed. Every
available motor vehicle was pressed
into service and over GOO men, prop
erIy equipped for the work, were in a
short time speeding over the new road
TO save the levee. They arrived in
the nick of time and by almost super
human efforts damned back the ris-
ing waters. Residents say that had 1t
been necessary TO make the trip over
the old road the levee could not have
been reached in time and that the
workers would have. needed boats
ratbers than motor vehicles.

ROAD
BUILDING
INSTRUMENT TO TEST SOILS
BY Means of Modern Apparatus II IL
Possible to Obtain Most Valuable
information.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrieulture.l
An instrument for testing soils on
which roads are to be built has been
devised by the bureau of public roads
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture. 1t consists of a metal
disk resting on the soil and support
ing a cylinder into which shot can be
poured. The apparatus is held In
position vertically by means Of a
tripod, AT the top of which is mounted
a small dial that tells to one-tIiouss
andth Of az inch bow far the disk
sinks into the soil as shot is poured
into the cylinder. BY means of the
instrument 1t Is possible tn get In
in wet weather.
The kind of soil beneath Il road sur-
face has a great deal to do with how
il will stand up under modern traffic,
and engineers look upon this as an i'm
portant consideration in determining
the kind of road to be built. This is
confirmed by a number OF Instances
where Two sections of the same road
have been built in exactly the same
manner and subjected to the same
traffic but on different types of soil.

CONTROL OF CHICKEN PESTS
Application of Blue Ointment Will
Prove Efficacious, as Viii
Sodium Fluorid.

A study of the life of chicken lice
shows that there are a dozen different
kinds infesting the same bird. Most
of them. however. frequent the rear
part Of the body ut least once In
every twenty-four hours where they
obtain the necessary moisture for
their life and growth. This moisture
is obtained from around the vent.
This habit OF lice would answer enc
method of treatment. the $ of blue
ointment.
Blue ointment applied around the
vent and under the wing OF each fowl
affected seems to get rid of the lice
in a very short time. A piece the
size Of "A good sized pea Is plenty for
one bird. II the blue ointment is
thick and heavy IL should be melted
so that it can be applied In II very thin
layer. II is well to make a second
application two weeks after the first,
especially If the birds are badly af-
feeted.
Any of the advertised lice powders
and many of the homemade powders
seem TO work very well. Good dust

also aid considerably In controlling
this pest.
Sodium llorid can also he used to
control lice. This is u common prep

known as the pinch method. \ pinch

every point where a child accident occurred during the past year, and a
blue pin for every adult accident on the highways There you have a
basis for determining accident causes:
Are here many pins concentrated at certain points? Perhaps better
lighting, more signs and more police are needed there. Are most of the
pins in the middle Of blocks rather than at intersections? Then a CAM

prevalent? Then more attention is needed in school instruction, in home

Never to Collect a Dollar From Society,
Without It's Worth in Service
BY WILLIAM J. BRYAN. American Publicist.

know Of no greater work that a government can do than TO establish
on earth Gods law Of rewards, and know of no greater work that a
church can do than to teach its members Gods law OF rewards, so that no
Christian will desire to draw from societys common store more than fair
l measures for him the service that he renders to society.
Have you thought what il would mean if tomorrow every American
citizen would resolve, and then keep the resolve, never to try to collect
from society one dollar without giving to society a dollars worth Of service
in return? II would eliminate injustice, and all injustice is simply the
system under which some collect from society more than they earn, and
because they do others re not able to collect as much as they earn.
Now, my friends, this is my belief. think the great trouble with
the world is that people are trying to see how much they can get out Of
the world when they ought to be trying to see how much service they can
render as the basis for an equivalent reward.
