THE REFEREE
(By Albert Applet

Twelve
When steel mills get on an eight
hour day basis, all well drilling will
be the last of the gerat basic indus
tries still clinging to the mo
day. Drillers and tool dressers in
most of our leading oil fields work
12-hour towers" or shifts.
It's hard work, too-enouh so to
make the average city man feel like
a loafer. The city man, however, has
something mor firing than hard
work or long hours-high nervous
tension, which is just another name
for needless rush.
Oil well crews thrive on IL hours
a day. And they seem to like it.
More paw for one thing. Then too
wells usually are drilled next door
to nowhere, with few diversions
available for spare time. And when
n well is finished, the drillers and
tool dressers can have a vacation
before tackling another job.
The fact that somebody still is
working IL hours a dav will impress
many employers as being the eighth
wonder of the world.
Gasoline
Wall street gossips about the
rumor that Hugo StinnesA Ger
many's industrial genius, will in
wade America with his loose change.
The possibilities in gasoline should
appeal to him. In some parts Of
Oklahoma and Texas gasoline is
selling as low as nine cents q gallon
at the wells and retineries. To trans
port it to American consumers costs
from nine cents a gallon downward.
Mostly downward.
Oil
The oil business is in the same
predleament as wheat-badly shot"
by operproduetion. Chief Gauss is
the California field, expected to pro-
duce 275 million barrels of oil this
year.
The overproduction. however, is
only temporary. Imports from Mex
leo are. falling off rapidly. Our coun-
try is consuming crude oil at the
rate of $50 million barrels a year.
This is 100 million barrels more
than in 1922 and 26 million barrels
lines an dtank farms is enough to
run the country only five months.
Giant
A 13-year-old boy, 6 feet 3 inches
tall and weighing 24O pounds, lives
In Cold Springs, N, Y. He's Ray
mond J.. Impell. Such cases usually
are due to excessive aetio nof the

This interesting possibility: The
Japanese, who dislike their short
stature as a ace may turn them
selves into a race of giants at some
future date by tinkering with their
e%ndoerine glands.

Germany, having consolidated it's
commercial aviation companies into
two big combines, is arranging in
ternational air service in every di-
rection. She has finished delivering
air material ~reparations. as required
by the peace treaty. This leaves her
free to concentrate on her own air
lines. To dodge allied Intervention
some of the German plane manufac-
turers are building their factories in
other countries. This is industrial
news. Later It may be military.

The whole pleasant affair was one
long to be remembered by the friends
and stockholders Of the Public Life
Insurance Company.
On Wednesday evening at the reg

tiers at Pershing road and State street,
Mr. Clover presented the prizes to
those who had written the largest
amount Of life insurance while the
drive or the contest was on between
the managers Of the eleven districts.

tricts for that purpose.
Mr.. William Fl. Montgomery, man
ager Of district number 8, received the
first prize, a fine 6-passenger sedan

Mrs. E. r. Cross, lady supt., touring
car; Mrs. E. r. Turner, touring car;
Mrs. Georgia Morton, touring car.
AS stated before, that each and every
one Of the contestants were awarded
something in the way of money and
so on, and the whole affair easily set
forth the fact that General Manager
Clover is one of the very best life in

to learn; the courage to know;
the courage to investigate; the cour-
age to prove all things; and when you
find the truth, have the courage to
proclaim it to all the world, regard
less of personal consequences.
Have the courage to know thyself;
the courage to believe in thyself; the
courage to be true to thyself; and the
courage to know that courage is
power. Have no fear, but the fear Of
ignorance. There is nothing more
useful than courage; there is nothing
more harmful than fear. Have courage
and fear not. Let your motto be-
onward with courage; upward without
fear. That is the key to success. Re-
member, when courage is gone-all is
gone. AS Cervantes said: "He who
loses wealth loses much; he who loses

courage loses all"

Sometimes it is hard to understand
the one-sided motive of the so-called
leaders Of the colored race, and they
often remind US of individuals who
delight to promote financial enter
tainments, label it charity, than expect
the editors of newspapers published
in the interest of the colored race to
devote great deal Of space in the
columns of their papers and boost il
up to the heavens free of charge, pay
their way into the show or entertain
ment, and so on.
From the present indications, the
head officials Of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People are following in the same foot
steps Of that class Of individuals, for
within the past month the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Colored People have placed full and
half-page anti-lynching advertisements
in many Of the leading daily news
paper, costing more than ten thou
sand dollars.
But the leading newspapers pub
lished in the interest Of the colored
race did not receive one penny of that
money, Notwithstanding the fact that
they are constantly fighting every
week in the year against the reign oi
mob and lynch law in this country
and it does seem to us that at least
500 Of that sum of money should
have found its way into the pocket.
Of at least two or three hundred col
ored editors in this country who have
warmly led the fight against mob anC
lynch law.

HAVE COURAGE

The best message / can give my
friends of The Broad AK for the new
year is, to have courage.
Whoever would be successful in any
avenue Of human endeavor must have
courage-the courage to keep on; the
courage to overcome defeat; the cour-
age to surmount dificulty-the cour-
age to win.
Courage is virtue. Nearly all Of
the things worth while, which were
won in the history of the human race,
have been accomplished through cour-
age. If you fail, have courage, and
try again. Never give up in the strug-
gle for better things; never retreat in
the face of fear. never surrender in a
righteous cause. Have the courage
to plod on. Plod is progress. Cour-
age makes heroes of us all-and we
can all be heroes and heroines if we
have the courage to fight for the right
as we journey through life.
Courage is the force behind human
endeavor. Courage is the virtue Of
human achievement. Courage is the
dynamo Of victory. Courage has
done as much as any other virtue to
men and women to the PIN
nacle Of fame and the height Of for
tune. Without courage accomplish
ment is impossible. Courage is be-
hind all determination. Courage i
the inspiration Of success.
Be courageous for the right Stand
courageously for truth. Have the
courage to act four square against
fear, and every breath of ignorance
that blows. Have the courage
