will visit the Kingdom of Great Britain
this summer. Chief Justice Taft. who is
this inquiring individual, is already en-.
barked. His object Is to learn why due
processes Of law move briskly IN England,
and what IL the solution In that country
for the problem Of congestcd dockets, clut-
tered courts and discretionary technicali-
ties The theme is one of considerable mo-
incnt. A country in which everything moves
smartly but justice Is still subject for in
struction.
Mr.. Taft has undertaken formidable
task. His exalted, position, however, will
lend authority to any reforms he may dis
cover or suggest. Anything which will
serve to expedite court proceedings and ac-
cclerate the consideration of cases should
be richly welcome. 81.
The damage to our self-cstcem caused by
the importation Of ideas from abroad would
be more than compensated by the offset to
mcdievalism and judicial lethargy.

A SUMMERTIME THOUGHT

DRAISE was abunduntly forthcoming in
New York last week for new kind OF
summer show. In Mite Of hot weather, a
resusctation Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's
'The Rivals" presented by the Players
Club, founded BY Edwin Booth. was gencr-
ously patronized
A new generation was entertained by one
Of the most amusing plays ever written.
Old timers revived pleasant memories. A
diverting time was had by all and regrets
were expressed that the special conditions
under which the all star production was
given prevented it from running for several
weeks more.
Upon one significant point considerable
INJURY was raised. Is it necessary. it was
asked, for all summer shows to be girl
shows, jazz shows. spectacles and tinseled
entertainments? Granted that high tragedy
is indigestible during the season Of tropic
temperatures, Is not laugh Il rcfreshment
and a tonic whether inspired by Sheridan or
painfully devised by the Overworked manu-
factories of the called revues?
There is decidedly more fun-and not
high brow fun, ether--in an intelligent
performance Of ''The Rivals" than in the
average Ziegfeldian offering.
Ada Lewis, for example, would be much
more amusing as the real Mrs. Malaprop
than as the copy of that character in VERY

Not Photographic Reproduction
"Herein lies the difference between work.
manshfp and genius. The great sculptors
IN masterpieces, such as have mentioned
do not concern themselves so much with n
photographic reproduction as they do with
a truthful Interpretation or translation Of
those characteristics which they want to
accentuate.
Freedom Of expression is needed in order
10 accomplish this, and when this is limited
to the mechanical, then the finer element of
the art Is sacrificed for the lower one. The
Winged Victory of Samothrace is perhaps
the highest expression Of sculpture of all
time but in seeing 1t one loses sight of the
mechanics and feels only the impeling force

The Collector OF Sculpture
The great demand among the buyers of
sculpture is still for relics or pieces from
older days. This is due 10 two things the
lure of name or the desire on the part OF
the collector to have n piece by q certain
sculptor to complete his collection. 1t Is
not fair to condemn the collector for this
point OF view, but the reprobation should
go to the dealer who takes advantage of the
confidence of his client to exploit him.

tiohs on buildings. Evolution and educu-
ton are bringing this about and the people
are evidently becoming tired of seeing un-
ornamented buildings and drawing compari-
sons between these and some of the decorate
buildings which they have seen here and
abroad. This education must be both by the
architects and the artists themselves.
NO better example of this can be cited
than the ParthenOn of the Greeks, the first
exposition OF Of, sculpture and architecture
combined. When this great masterpiece is
seen, one Is not impressed by the form
SHOWN, but by the spirituality expressed sy
the figures In the pediment, or the reliefs

with the architecture itself, which il spir.

Preparations were being made
this afternoon by the operators Of
the Amerada Petroleum company's
test on the Sam Baptiste farm, in
the southwest corner Of the north
east quarter Of the southeast quar-
ter OF section 20, 5s-1e near Brock
to drill deeper in search of q pay
sand more prolific than that en-
cOuntered at depth of 1927
feet. The 10-inch casing was pulled
and IS being rerun to case off the
13l4-foot sand the production from
which will be bradenheaded while
the deeper drilling is going on.
Continuation Of drilling will be
carried on with the S-inch hole.
Present depth Of the we'll is 1929
feet, in blue shale formation,
similar to that encountered prior
to the finding Of the Powers sand.
The attitude OF the petroleum
fraternity Interested in the Amera-
da operations Is very similar TO
that which was prevalent when
the first showing in the Amera-
da test was announced, and fol-
lowing which expectancy OF a pay
sand was the unanimous mental
attitude. Members OF the fratern-

that very prolific sand will be
found in the Amerada well re-
