The pee-wee, parasiticaI oil pa
pers that are burgeoning like
Russian thistles wherever a well
or two comes in appear to mag
inc that in order t O manifest
their fealty to the operators they
must denounce the proposed tax
on crude. 1t is, therefore, re-
freshing and interesting to find
a variation from this attitude in
the editorial printed in the last
issue of the Kelvin Review and
reprinted in this issue Of the
Press. 1t is a pretty we'll accept
ed canon Of economics that oil
and other resources of it's kind
belong to t he commonwealth,
deposited in the earth by the
Creator for the benefit of all the
people and that when the govern
ment permits the taking out of
these resources it grants a great
favor instead of receiving a favor
and a just return to government
for the support of it's educational
and other institutions should be
made. AS the Review we'll says,
the oil industry is highly profta-

of the mouthpieces of the big oil
interests that the tax proposed
by Governor Dixon will hinder

one-one that we have heard

proposals were being considered
in relation to other big interests.

THE MODE IN
SLEEVES
BY Rita Stuyvesant

ut is interesting to note the
complete change sleeves will
make in an old frock. and this
season. when sleeves decide to be
either extremely brief, or long and
flowing. one has a wide in at the
wrist with ribbons, and showing an
oval neck, will he pleasing &C
compartment to the sleeveless
frock.
The success of many simple
little frock depends on it's unusual
sleeves, and, for instance. II one
has straight chemise frock OF
black chiffon velvet, paneled on
the sides with long straight Grapes,
she will be made distinctive at
once by the addition of loose flow
ing sleeves of figured brocaded
chiffon in a lovely pastel shade Of
a becoming tone.
Sleeves Of dull gold will appeal
to you, or perhaps French blue
brocaded chiffon sleeves will bring
out the blue of your eyes, or you
might favor the salmon or sand
tones. A band of fur will add con-
siderable smartness. Monkey fur,
beaver or squirrel in a narrow
band might be used to edge the
long sleeves.
Sometimes to remove sleeves
from a tricotine frock and replace
them with ones of dark figured
silk crepe will lend new note. A
cuff Of the tricotine will bring the
sleeves into harmony with the rest
Of the dress.
A complete change will be effect
ed if panel effects both 'front.' and
back are introduced into a one
piece gown of solid color, and the
sleeves might be cut in with the
panels. A bit of bead trimming
or dun gold banding might edge
the long sleeves.
Short sleeves are still consider
ed smart, and are conspicuous by
their brevity, sometimes reaching
IA bare inch over the shoulders.
A frock conspicuous because of
it's unusual sleeves will take a diff
ferent turn if the sleeves are COM
pletely removed and the armholes
bound If one finds this effect too
nude for daytime occasions, ell.
though it is being featured extern
sively. she might add a deep
bertha collar that hangs partly
over the shoulders and finished
with scallops. This type collar,
like n short cape. will often sim
ulate the effect Of sleeves.

HOW NOT TO
CATCH COLD
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

"RoM various authoritative
and up-tO-date sources the
following principles having
to do with the prevention of colds
have been formulated:
First-Avoid sitting or working
in a room the temperature of
which is over So degrees Fahren-
heit. For sitting, a temperature
Of IS to So is suitable; for work
ing, one of so to SIS. There should
be a slight current of air and a
proper degree of humidity.
Second-Don't use sprays un-
less they have been prescribed
by the doctor. If a spray is used
which is strong enough to DESTROY
germs it will also injure the
mucous membrane. A level tea
spoonful of salt to a pint of
water may be used for cleansing
purposes.
Third-Keep out of the range
of persons who cough and sneeze
without using handkerchiefs or
pieces of cheesecloth. Don't cough
or sneeze yourself in such a man.

Fourth-When one of the mem

tact with other members of the
household, and that he does not
use the same eating or drinking
utensils. Sterilize everything that
he uses, just as you would in the
presence OF any contagious dis
ease.
FTifth-When you have a cold
keep away from public meetings.
Sixth-When you have a cold
don't shake hands with people
and don't stand close to them
when conVerslng. In using your

course. become contaminated.
When speaking you throw out
invisible dreplets which carry IN

Seventh-Don't eat yourself or

you didn't is not particularly to-
your credit, for in addition to
keeping faith there is the incen-
tive Of fear to hold you to what
you have pledged. There is po-
liceman public opinion" to hold
you to honesty.
Keeping the faith when no one
is going to give you credit for
your good faith. and some may
try to argue you out of the in
convenient decision. is real hon.
esty ana loyalty to your ideals
of truth and honor.
Make UP your mind slowly and
after weighing the evidence. If
you come to feel that you must
leave dances and go home at
midnight, don't promise yourself
that you'll do 1t, If you are CO.
ing to be induced to stay until
in the morning.
If you determine that you must
save SO a week out Of your
salary, weigh the chances that
folks will sneer at you for mig
gardliness and that things will
come up to tempt you to stop
saving. But IL you feel that
you ought to save, then examine
yourself carefully and see if you
can count on yourself to do it.
Base your promises to yourself
on sane reasoning. Don't stub
bornly determine to do things I'M
less you feel you are justified in
your effort or your sacrifice.
But once you have made your
self a promise-be it to walk to
work every morning, to answer
pleasantly no matter how rudeIy
you are spoken to. or save a
thousand dollars this year-stick
to that promise.
Keep faith with yourself Then

Der that the central theme Of the
book was based upon the idea of
dreaming true, that is to say, of
being enabled to leave the body,
during sleep, and to travel to
distant places and visit and con-
verse with other dreaming
people who have similarly learned
30 leave their bodies during sleep,
while retaining at the same time
the full control of their conscious
thinking faculties. Such individ-
uals are usually enabled to re-
member all that has transpired
during the sleeping hours and to
recall it the next day.
DuMaurier, in his book, gives
the formula for dreaming true.
1t is to lie flat on your back,
cross the feet and clasp the hands
beneath the head. This sounds
simple, and the fact is actually
too simple TO work in practical
life! There is. however, a formula
