Washington. - Another engrossng
chapter crammed with mystery and
personal emotion has been added to
the public records by the Senate oil
Investigators. The characters in the
story included such mysterious person
ages as "Apricots," Peaches" and
'The Duck" referred TO in code mes
sages exchanged between Edward b.
Mclean, publisher of the Washington
Post, and his employees, during his
visit to Florida.
Additional witnesses were sum-
moned, among them A. Mitchell Pal
mer, attorney general in the Wilson
administration, who acted for time
as counsel for Mclean in communica-
lions with the oil committee.
Karl C. Schuyler. Denver attor-
ney, was called to the stand.
Schuyler took the inquiry back to
the Teapot dome field, explaining that
he had represented the Midwest Rein
ing Company and the Pioneer Oil
Company, which had claims in that
field He reviewed at great length
the now famous conference at Kansas
City at which Harry f. Sinclair
agreed to pay $1,O0O,OO0 to J. Leo
stack, Denver oil operator, and Fred
erick G. Bonfils, publisher of the Den
yer, Colo, Post.
After my introduction to Sinclair
he testified, land without further pre-
liminaries, | said:
mir. Bonfils has told me that your
last and final offer of settlement is
500, 900 and a one-half interest in the
net profits from the operation by you
of 100 acres to be selected from your
lease. On behalf of Mr.. Stack | de-
cline this offer.
"Sinclair said: Stack will not get
another dollar
"Colonel Zevely (Sinclair's lawyer)
and l then engaged in conversation. l
supported my contentious with par
tial recital of the facts and principles
have already discussed.
"Sinclair broke into the cOnvcrsa-
ton with the remark that 500 900 is
a lot of money and Stack ought to be
satisfied with it, The conversation
between MI. sOlllClulI otll 'tu

ing about one hour and IA hale
81 said, MIR. Sinclair, if any young
man came to you today and created
Il situation for you to enter upon
whereby you might secure an oil prop
erty as valuable as the Teapot struc-
ture, would you think of valuing his
services mt less than 81 ,0O0,000?'
"NIr. Sinclair finally said: We'll, it's
a big thing, and perhaps you are not
asking too much.'"
Schuyler told the committee that be-
cause Stacks claim Sin some quarters
has been disparaged, declared TO be
baseless and held up to public con
tempt, l desire to summarize MIR.
Stacks situation as he presented to
me from time to time and the fair
differences to be drawn therefrom.'
He then reviewed Stacks efforts
with T.. l.. Doheny to get leases in
Teapot and asserted that the contract
Stack subsequently entered into with
the Pioneer Company was valid one
and bound the company to use all its
efforts to obtain leases on offset wells
In Teapot.

The Cake-Eater
Is Feature Of
This Photoplay

At last the ~cake-eater has come
into his W in the films. He has
been cavorting around Broadway
and the main streets of small towns
for some time but it remained for
Sam Wood to give him entity on
the screen in his Paramount produc-
ton of Arthur Trains novel, His
Children's Children" which will be
shown at the Strand theatre next
Tuesday and Wednesday.
When the casting-director was
asked to hire a cake-eater for the
picture there was considerable dis
cussion as to just what constituted
this male of the species.
Well, what is a c~ake-eater?
A cake-eater is a slick-haired
young nan who is always handy
about tea time for his cakes. He
never spends any money but likes to
dance. He is not old enough to be
a lounge-lizard, but a little bit older
than a kid-just the age when young
men think they are fashion plates
and are devils with the women He
wear his hat down over his eyes
and struts about with a conscious
air of superiority.
The term cake-eater, it is said,
was born with the war at the time
when eligible men were in the army.
These youngsters substituted at the
teas and dances for the older men
who were in khaki. And they were
particularly fond Of the little cakes
always served with tea, hence the
term!
AN excellent cast of players was
chosen for this picture, Bebe Daniels
Dorothy Mackaill, James Rennie
and George Fawcett are in featured
roles. The story deals with a fam
lily Of wealth in which there are
three jazzy daughters and a foolish
father and mother who permit their
offspring to commit almost excess
without protest. The result is a
smash-up with thrilling results. The
production is said to be one of the
most massive offered to screen fans
in many months.

There are certain phases OF edu-
cation which, 1t is generally agreed
require emphasis from a National
standpoint. Among these are Ameri-
c~anization; patriotism; better train

provement of rural schools: more
adequately equipped buildings; era-
dication Of iliteracy:; and physical
education and hygiene. In order to
give these phases Of education prom
inence In the observance of Ameri-

OUTDOOR DRILL
OF BOY SCOUTS
DRAWS TER

Many a passerby at the High
School building last Saturday turn
ed at the sharply called command
of about face only to find that the
order had been addressed to a COM
pany of Boy Scouts marching in
very creditable fashion in their first
out door drill.
For the Boy Scouts are to take
part in the Memorial Day exercises
tomorrow and they are seeing to II
that their motto Of BE Prepared"
Is lived up to. Many residents OF

wise interested spectators of this

the direction of the assistant scout
master.

military in character" declared Phil
H. Gray to the scouts working under
him last Saturday morning, "but
such is not the case. This organ
i~zation, since 1t has grown locally
into a body numbering more than
half q hundred youngsters. must
have some way in which to get from
one point to another In an orderly
fashion. 1t Is also necessary that
every one OF you learn the trick Of
giving instant obedience to COM
mands, orders, instructions. sugges-
tions-whatever you want to call
them. The Boy Scouts OF America,
as all g the rest Of the world,
Is an organization known as non
military in character. 1t Is not anti
military; merely non-military since
it is not in the least interested in
developing a fighting force or a
group opposed to such q fighting
force.
THE local Scout troops are 60
ing to show the grown ups Of Raw
Inns how fine a thing Is the right sort
of idle hour employment, that is all,
and our second opportunity will
come next Friday, when we pay an
orderly and proper respect to those
men and women who died in the
service Of their country and ours"
Almost complete roll calls have
been reported at recent meetings,
and it is the hope of Dr.. James A.
Fraser, Scoutmaster, and his assist
ant, that not only will every Boy
Scout show his interest but that
every eligible boy in Rawlins find
out what the Scout movement is
like.

CUT AWAY BODY
ON DISPLAY AT
SMILEY GARAGE

A half-skeleton steel body, show.
ing construction principles and meth
DDS for the Dodge Brothers steel
bodies, arrived at the Smiley Motor
company garage on Front street
early this week, and Is already at.
tracing much attention. This same
body, n half of which is finished
exactly as bodies reach the buyer
and the other half stripped Of up.
holstering and paint, was displayed
to interested crowds at the New
York, Chicago, and San Francisco
automobile shows. 1t will be in
Rawlins about ten days.
The body is unique in that one
half is enameled, trimmed, upholst-
car ready for use, and the other
half is entirely unfinished showing
clearly every part of the strong
light, safe, all-steel construction.
The upholstery and trimming are
cut at the center line of the car
showing the deep cushion springs
and the genuine hair padding.
The finished side of the body
shows a fine, smooth, lustrous sur,
face. The reputation for retaining
newness of appearance after years OF
service is the result of Dodge Bros,
process of baking the enamel at high
temperature.
The unfinished half shows how the
frame, consisting of pressed steel
parts welded and riveted together,
gives maximum strength and stiff
S together with light weight and
freedom from warping and from
squeaks and rattles. No wood what.
ever enters into the construction OF
the body except the frames for the
removable cushions and the few
strips to which the trimming ma.
terials are tackled. Even the mould
ing around the windows, which upon
closest examination looks like warm
ished hard wood, is of pressed steel
finish in baked enamel.
Dodge Brothers have applied steel
body construction to their Type A
and Type B sedans as well as to the
Business Coupe, Touring Car and
Roadster. According to the local
dealer, the fact that the body is built
entirely of steel adds materially to
the safety of the passengers, as 1t
minimizes splinter and fire hazard.
Moreover, steel construction is light
afording maximum strength W 1 h
minimum weight. The interior of
the body is more ropmy than would
be the case If wood were used be-
cause the stronger steel supports
are less bulky than wood pillars.

Ions in 1922, and 40 gallons in 1921.
The average daily consumption in
1923 figures out l.6 pints per person.
Farm people who have producing
cows consume more milk and cream
than do city people. but farm people
without cows or with nonpra ucing
cows. consume less than do city people,
the survey shows Average daily per
capita consumption on farms having
cows was LIS pinis in 1923; on farms
without COWS or having nonprodueers
the average consumption was .7T5 of a
pint and in city homes the pc, capita
daily consumption averaged 81 Of
pint.
Tho e.rm figures were ta',nlated
from approximately 10000 schedules
Of consumption on individual farms,
AID represent the most comprehensive
survey ever made of milk and cream

from boards of health and covered
n,aily 200 cities, or about 25000,O00
