vailing prices paid by the Midwest
monopoly. The increase will be at
least sixty cents a barrel to the
state of Wyoming and a correspond
ingly large increase for the re-
Clamation fund Of the federal gov
eminent and for the treasury.
Experts in oil said unhesitat-
ingly that IL the dome had not been
leased the oil would be drained out
of it by wells drilled near II. A
little more than thirty days ago
well drilled in the saddle of the
Teapot dome came in with 1000
barrels, and last week the flow had
increased to $500 barrels, Our
department biologists. and geolo-
gists of Wyoming and others con-
firm my judgment that the dome
would have been drained. This
new we'll is only quarter of a
mile from the Teapot dome"
Proposed Senate Inquiry.
Turning from the Teapot dome
and the Wyoming oil prices, Sec
rotary Fall said relative to the pro-
posed inquiry by senate commit
tee:
"A few days prior to the execu-
tion and delivery OF the contract,
Senator La Toilette addressed a
letter to the state department,
which he evidently thought was the
custodian of executive orders, re-
questing copies of all such orders,
including the order of the presi-
dent directing me to take over the
handling Of the naval oil land re-
serves, the coal fields of Alaska,
etc.
The senator's request came
from the state department to me
on April IL, just as I was trans
hitting for the naval files their
copy of the contract executed by
Secretary DENLY and myself, to-
gether with full memorandum
and brief of just what the contract
embraced in detail.
II Immediately. on the same
day, forwarded to Senator La Fol-
lette all of the executive docu-
ments called for in his letter to the
secretary of state, as we'll as other
information. l gave him to UNDER
stand fully the policy / was pur-
suing in handling oil matters. in
closed for him q copy of the mem
orandum and brief just transmitted
to the secretary of the navy. and
! stated to him that the memo
randum had not been given pub
llcity, but that he might make it
public If he desired. / also stated
that ! would give any information
he desired. upon request, except
that I could not go into the naval
plans of storage. as he well under
stood that this was a military mat
ter to be handled by the command
er-in-chief of the army and navy.
Has La Follette's Receipt.
II sent this communication to
Senator La Toilette by special mes
senger and have his receipt for the
same. He introduced his resolu-
ton and did not refer to the fact
that he was in receipt of the in
formation and had been authorized
by me to make it public.
II can only conclude that the in
formation given and the policies
outlined were not such as the sena-
tor cared to use. He did not refer
to them. nor has he acknowledged
receipt Of them"

and many growers were compel
led to sell their crops at any price
offered to keep up running ex-
penses. Money was scarce among
the farmers because of peculiar
construction placed on govern
ment war financing laws which
permitted the loan OF money to
the farmers OF other sections on
cotton, wheat and other farm
products if stored in bonded
warehouses but did not permit of
any such loans on hay stored
under such conditions.
Seek Modification OF Rules.
This spring this matter was
taken up by the association and
though financial conditions have
eased up somewhat there is a
strong effort being made to Sc
cure notifications in rules gov
erning loans by the war finance
corporation so as to permit the
loaning the production price on
that product not for the purpose
of profit but to secure an orderly
and continued marketing. II. C.
Reid, who conferred with the di-
rectors of the government COR
poration on the occasion of their
recent visit to Albuquerque is
quoted as saying he found them
highly surprised at the high rates
of interest which prevail in this
section and expressed themselves
as confident that provisions would
soon be made which will care for
the situation as evidenced TO
them.
Only the past week newspaper
dispatches have carried the news
that the government warehousing
provisions of the finance corpora
ton have been broadened by
the congress so as to include
many products not already listed.
which news is concrete evidence
OF the good work which has been
done with some assistance from
local men.
On nearly all the farms of this
district barns and warehouses may
be found which will care for the
greater portion of the individual
farm crops. These warehouses
average from 200 to 700 tons to
the farm and under warehousine
rules that are to be promulgated
money can be loaned on produces
stored therein and properly in
sured the same as If stored ii
bonded warehouses on track.
Influence Being Felt.
In the Rio Grande valley OF
southern New Mexico and Texas
and in the Pecos valley of Texas
similar organizations have in the
last few years come into being
and are beginning to make their
influence felt on the market. AT
Artesia an independent organiza-
ton was effected last year but
met with some reversals because
OF management and conditions.
Each is doing well this year and
there are numerous rumors OF
proposals looking to the final
amalgamation of all these organ.

sales force of sufficient force Ia
handle all the products of the
region along the lines of the
California Fruit Growers exchange
and similar organizations in the

the valleys of New Mexico ana
western Texas will begin an era
OF prosperity which will rival the
great business boom OF 1917.

Friction Drive Is

mission,

NEWA RK, N. J., July ga
practical demonstration of the ef-
ficiency of friction drive was given
here when one of the new four
cylinder Kelsey Chassis pulled a
load of thirteen and one-half tons
through the streets of this city.
The load consisted of six motor
cars of various makes and one
truck. attached by means OF ropes
to the rear end of the Kelsey.
Although friction drive has long
been accepted by automotive en-
gineers as the ideal type OF trans
mission the main objection has
been the tendency toward slipping
and loss of power
That the form of friction drive
invented by c. w. Kelsey, vice
president and general manager of
the Kelsey Company, has eliminated
this objection was definitely proved
under the trying conditions of this
test.
Attracts Much Attention.
Escorted by Gordon of motor
cycle police. the demonstration at
tracted much attention and crowds
gathered to inspect the open rear
end Of the Kelsey Chassis and the
actual operation of this new type
of transmission.
In the Kelsey the friction trans
mission comprises a straight-line
shaft drive. with final drive
through jack-shaft and internal
gears inclosed within the brake e
drums on the rear wheels.

National uniformity in colors for
traffic signals is extremely desira-
BILE, but II major changes are to be
made-as. for example, a change in
the color of tail lights for automo-

years to get such changes into
operation because legislation would
be required in most States
On the motion of DR.. NJ. G.
Lloyd. of the United States Bureau
of Standards, resolution was
adopted declaring 1t to be the sense
of the conference that any Sec

which takes up the Standardization
of cobors for signals should en-
deavor to coordinate such stand
ardization with existing standards
for traffic purposes. such as those
used in water and aerial naviga-

The conference did not advocate
the substitution of green for red
as a danger signal, as was er-
roneously reported in certain OF
the daily papers through a misin-
depreciation of discussion at the
conference. On the contrary, the
ideas expressed at the conference
were emphatically that red should
be used to indicate danger, and
Tor no other purpose. In con-

that green be substituted for red
as the color for lights for emer-
gency exits of public buildings as
indicating paths that lead to safety
