Definitely KnOUn Until Mr..
ThuTRdH'S Return.

1t is expected that the plug
will be drilled for a test at the
King No. l well, | 3-4 miles
east of Washington, some time
between Sunday and Tuesday
Sunday is the 10th day the
cement has been allowed to
set, the time required by law,
but it is likely the promoters
will not want to drill in on
that day, AS Monday is the
fateful 18Th, it may be that
this will also be passed up anG
the plug drilled Tuesday.
NJ. Allen G. Therman, pres
ident of the Columbus-Hope
Oil Co., promoters of the King
test, is in Columbus, Ohio, con-
ferring with other members of
the syndicate; he is expected
to return by Sunday. Until
then, it will not be known just
when the plug at the King we'll
will be drilled.
The original plan of the Co
lumbus-Hope Oil Co. was to
drill all three of their tests in
this vicinity-the King, Ellen
and Haffke wells-to the sand
ana test all at once. 1t is be-
litved now, however, that they
will ,di1Il in al the King we'll
early next week.
b This test is down 2102 feet
and is believed just on top of
the Trinity sand Recent goou
! gas and oil showings at the
present depth offer great hopes
of a good we'll when test of the
sand is made.
Work at the Nichols No.

with the bit working in a hard
shale at 975 feet. Two small
gas showings have been report

The test we'll at McNab is
drilling at 1900 feet. 1t is said
good gas showings have been
had there during the week.

World Court Prospects

Let us not deceive oul selves. The
world court protocol has more en-
emies than friends in the Senate
committee on foreign relations since
it was reconstructed recently. There
isn't one chance in thousand that
the project as recommended to the
Senate by Secretary Hughes and both
Presidents Harding and Coolidge will
receive the committees approval.
The committees game is the now ia
miliar one played with such notable
success four years ago with the COW
enant of the league OF nations. Sem
ator Mccormick has just answered a
woman's club in Illinois that ne is
for "a, court. but not 1.-The" court.
Formerly he was for "a league, but
not the" league.
The committee will be strong for
"a court. 1t will report the court
protocol back to the Senate richly
laden with reservations These re-
servations will have the effect Of a
proposal that new world court be
established. with the United States
as the first and only member. 1t is
a grand idea-a world court with
only one member nation. A world
court all to ourselves. For such it
would necessarily be until the so
members of the present world court
should accept our governments invi-
tation to scrap their court and come
over and join our court.

Potential criminals are at large in
nearly all communities. No plan 1T
devised can wholly provide against
them, but it is painfully evident we
are not using the facilities already
available. We seem strangely un-
aware Of the terrible consequences
to all concerned that are possible to
any individual with homicidal
tendencies. Familiarity too often
breeds contempt.
In the light of what has happened
we see that here was an individual
who should have been kept in re-
straint were it possible to do so; one
who should have been subjected to
examination for his sanity. We al
ways know more afterward than be-
fore, but isn't there to be found rere

evident the utmost care should be

or pardons. The emotions should
not be permitted to decide such mat
tiers.

Einstein Landed
BY Big Dane

Paris, Dec. GA. p. by MaiD-
George Brandes. the Danish critic
and essayist, who is visiting Paris, is
rather hard on American taste, still
critical of Bergsonian philosophy, and
regards Freud as apostle of obscene
inhuman imagination. Though in
his saith year Brandes is very active.
Asked whom he considered the
greatest thinker of the day, he re-
Piled: "Einstein beyond contrAdic-
ton; he Is the Newton Of this age.
All his conclusions are being, or will
be established.
AS to Freud. he threw up his hands
in gesture of horror and exclaimed
what have such obscene inhuman
imaginations to do with US? Leave
them to; America where they are said
to be very successful. deiighting the
biuestockings to whom that country
Is the chosen land"
Brandes was reminded that when
lecturing once in London he declared
that intuition was q quality which
should be left to female admirers Of
Bergson, and that this statement
drew a. reproach from the French
philosophers mother who happened
to be in the audience. Brandes says
he remains faithful to that opinion.
