physical standard of our people," Mr..
Powell said. The results Of the ar
my draft. based on a report made by
the provost marshal general, showed
that 22.4 per cent, or 1.340,623 men,
we're rejected for general military
service on account of physical disabili-
ties. There we're 4.65o,50o men in

said that the fiures we're especially
significant when II is realized that all
of the physically disqualified we're in
cluded in the ages from 81 to 30. the
period of life when man is suppos-
ed to be at his best physically. Had
the examinations included those over
30 years, the percentage OF the unfit
would be more than doubled, accord
ing to Mr. Powell. 1T is the verdict
of medical men that most of the de-
fects listed as the causes for rejection
could have been prevented by ade-
quate physical education programs"
Mr.. Powell stated. "One authority
states: 4. Heart disease could be
prevented by proper strengthening
of the heart through physical activi-
ties, by proper removal of physical
defects, such as bad tonsils and in
fected teeth. 2. Malformation Of the
limbs may be prevented to some ex-

6. Instruction in care of the feet and

gion's purpose is to raise the general
standard of physical development as

How All Taxes Could Be Eliminated and Great Wastes of Idle Land Could Be Reclaimed for Use.
By GEORGE w. PERKINS, President, Cigar Makers Interna-
 tional Union.

A terrific waste in industry IS in- disputable. Doctrinaries, laymen and many others, while admitting this, differ as to what is wastage Hand or brain wealth producers are each entitled to just and equitable share of the wealth they produce. The workers are entitled to wages that will give them decent and com fortable living such as would em- brace comfortable clothes, proper nutritious food, a good home, books, travel, art, music, amusement, and an amount to take care of them during the lean years associated with old age.
 Waste is not the paramount issue, IS not the greatest drawback to a proper system of production and dis tribution.. Prohteering is it's partner in crime and IS the greatest contribut- ing force to unrest, discontent, and a condition bordering on poverty for the great mass of the people. For the good of mankind, civilization, and the perpetuity of our institutions both should be eliminated. 4
 Cooperation and coordination on the part of all concerned can bring about a more just and equitable sys- tenn than now exists. During the world war our country as well as all others showed what cooperation and coordination could do in the matter of production and distribution De spite the terrific call made upon in dustry, we through coordination were able to and did successfully meet all demands. During that period there. was no shortage of coal, of trains, of foods StuffS munitions, or other neCeS- trenches as well as those at home. If we coudl do all of this in fright

Here's What Sinclair Teapot Dome
 Lease Means To Nation In Results

ties range from 121z6 to 5o96, and that wells producing over 1000 bar rels of oil daily pay 5o9o on the ex- cess. This is not true. The pro- visions of the lease, together with the natural conditions of the reserve, enable the lessee to control the amount of the royalties he IS to pay. Some of the lessees in the Salt Creek field pay royalties of B I-39o, but Sinclair need never pay more than I2H per cent.
 It. is interesting to note how these royalties are to be paid The gov ernment is to trade it's royalty oil to Sinclair for storage, and fuel oil to fill 1t; and in this provision the con tract is not as good" as the secre tary pretends to believe: Sinclair may be perfectly honest, efficient, storage building contractor and give the government value received on the storage building end of the deal; but 1t is the even exchange of high priced oil for cheap oil to which we refer Fuel oil can be purchased now at Atlantic or Gulf coast points at from $I to SIPS per barrel, which the open posted field price of oil in the Mid-continept fields, similar in duality lO lildl Oi l iCdPOl, lS P< PSi barrel, plus premium of. from 25c to soc per barrel, so that 1t is actual ly selling at from $225 to $2. SO per barrel. And the secretary contends that this lease will bring prices in Wyoming to level with those of the mid continent fields Sinclair Is to deliver a barrel of fuel oil for bar rel of Teapot crude, provided it tests above 34 degrees Baume, but if 1t falls below that test he is to deliver only 63-Ioo of barrel of fuel oil for barrel of crude; in other words, he takes barrel of Teapot crude, test ing above 34 degrees Baume, worth from $225 to $2.5o, and delivers to the government, at New Orleans (for illustration), barrel of fuel which costs him ST; or if the Teapot crude falls beolw 34 degrees Baume, he de- livers at that point 63.Ioo of barrel of fuel, which cost him just 63.
 Or, this splendid arrangement will enable Standard Oil to refine Salt Greek and Teapot royalties, take out the gasoline and valuable lubricants, and pay for the royalty at the rate of s barrels of the residum for 100 barrels of the original high grade crude.
 What do you think of this as a contract favorable to the government? Why. do not government officials use just little common, business sense, sell it's high grade. royalty oil, buy its fuel oil when and where needed and get two barrels of fuel oil for one Of crude?

AMAZING DETAILS OF LEASE
 ANALYZED BY NOTED EXPERT
By ROBERT c. BELL.

Some of the provisions of the Tea pot Dome Sinclair lease, according to the press reports, are worthy of spe- Cial comment. '
 It should be noted tn at the secre- tary of the interior announces that the policy of storing oil originated with the navy, but that the ''terms of the leases originated. in the De- partment of the Interior; fur thermore, that "the government oil experts consider the contract one of the best ever negotiated from the gov ernment point of view"
 It is gratifying to know that the secretary is willing to assume re- possibility at least for the "ter1ns" of the contract.
 The provisions that made this con tract so good undoubtedly relate to-: CD the amount of the royalties; i; Co the price of the oil; and (3) the pipe line.

MERIDEN TO HAVE
 BIG HOLIDAY GAME
A1-Hartford-New Britain Game to
 Be Staged at Hanover Park.

Whether they like it or not Meriden has been selected as the site for the annual game between the A11-Hart- ford and New Britain elevens and the game will be staged at Hanover Park Thanksgiving day. As both cities wanted to have the game played on their home pastures but could reach no agreement all that was left for the managers of both teams to do was to get neutral field that would prove satisfactory to both teams.
 As New Britain has already had the experience of playing one game at Hanover Park already as the game with the Submarine Base team of New London was played here few weeks ago and the New Britain team expressed complete satisfaction over the results obtained they very natur- ally held out for Hanover Park as the site for the holiday game and finally won out
 The New Britain eleven won the state championship last year. but even. though on paper they appear to be very much stronger this season their record is not so good, having been beaten by three or four teanls already, much to the surprise of their followers. On the other hand the All-Hartford eleven has only one de feat chalked up against it and that was administered by the strong Will Hams team of New Haven last week when O'Brien stepped back to the I8- yard mark and booted a field goal in the third quarter of hard fought game.

Note that the royalties on oil testing below 34 degrees, Baurne are very much less than those of the higher test, The. dividing point in all other leases on the public domain in Wyoming is at 30 degrees. .Baume.
 Let us examine another phase of the royalty provisions. The royal teis are not based on the production of each well, separate from all others; instead, they are determined by the average. daily production of all wells on the lease, which covers the whole reserve of more than o,ooo acres.
 Each month the total production is divided by the number of wells operated E or moresdays during the month, to ascertain the average pro duction for each well for the month; the production per month IS divided by the number of days in the month to obtain the average daily production for each we'll, and 1t is on this that the royalty for each we'll is based.
 The scheme permits using small wells to cut down the average pro duction and consequently the royal ties on the large wells. If big wells are obtained in the Wall Creek sands on which high royalteis would have to be paid the lessee can drill numer- ous small wells in the Shannon sand to cut down the average production, and thus reduce the. royalties. Let 1t be remembered that there Is no hmi- tation on the number of wells the lessee may drill, and these shallow wells though small producers, are profitable.
 The secretary advises the Senate, and Sinclair pretends, that the royal
