general of the United States employ.
ment service of the department of
labor, who made investigations of the
need for establishing in Denver a
farm labor bureau, announcement was

Freak Shadows Appear
in Crude Oil Pools

In the great oil regions of California
POOLS of crude petroleum are quite
commonly seen, says S. Leonard Bas-
tin in ST. Nicholas. Here the oil Is
allowed to remain until 1t Is stored
away in barrels. One of the curiosities
of the district is the freak shadow
which these ponds OF crude oil pro-
duce, If, when the sun is shining
brightly. person stands so that his
shadow falls across the surface of the
petroleum, very remarkable thing
happens. Should the Individual change
his place. strange to say, the first sha-
dow remains on the OIL while the per-
son casts a second shadow from his
new position. The longer tie individ
ual has been standing by the oil pond,
the longer will the original shadow re-
main.
The explanation of the mystery Is
simple:
Under the influence of the hot sun,
las is freely produced in the crude
oil. This rises to the surface in the
form OF millions of bubbles far too
minute to be noticed by the human
eye. When a shadow Is cast over the
surface of the petroleum the tempera-
ture is reduced, and this has the eff
feet of checking the production of bub-
hles. The result is that the shaded
area looks different from the part
which is exposed to the sun. Now,
when the person moves. the tempera-
ture of the oil which has been shielded
from the sun does not at once get back
to its former warmth. 1t takes little
time TO heat and. until this actually
happens, the shadow effect persists,
giving the curious appearance which
has been described.

CONFIDENCE IN COOLIDGE

Now that it has become as certain
as any event in politics can be, that
President Coolidge will be nominat-
ed to succeed himself by the Republi-
can national convention. the country
can have clear idea of what will
happen if that party shall carry the
election.
This election comes down largely
TO a matter of personal confidence. 1t
has been charged that the govern.
ment has tolerated corruption in pub
lie business. In so far as this is true.
and there never has been a time yet
when there was not more or less dis
honesty in government work, the
Necessary thing is to find men for
the highest Offices. who are beyond
the breath OF suspicion and who will
work energetically to clean abuses out
OF public work.
The platforms of the parties and
the promises Of politicians mean but
little when Il comes to a job Of this
kind. Certain types OF politicians will
make lavish promises when they get
office. and forget all about them af-
ter election. -
President Coolidge has had a career
unstained by any hint Of graft or
favoritism He has lived a life OF
almost austere simplicity He has
never seemed to care for the things
for which most people spend money.
He has never had an Especial ALLAN.

The Department Of Justice has
sent note of inquiry to District
Attorney Peyton Gordon, asking
what steps have been taken with
reference to action against the so
called real estate ring in the city.
The inquiry was dispatched
merely as a means of keeping IN
touch with the progress made inthe
case, and to ascertain the District
Attorneys view with regard to the
data collected under the supervi-
sion Of Senator L. Heisler Ball,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, last spring.
u. 8. Kept Informed.
AT the time the revelations were
made, the Department OF Justice
was advised Of their nature, and It
was agreed by officials that the In
vestigation which then had been
confined chiefly to the operations
of a single real estate concern,
should proceed with the purpose OF
involving other companies In the
alleged conspiracy.
During the summer months the
Investigation virtually has been at
sstanastlIl. it Is said, although
several experts and research work
ers remain on the Federal payroll
Tor assisting District Attorney
Gordon in this work.

Senator Ball was in washington

remains confident that the work Of

FARMERS HARD
HIT BY LACK
Of rain
Those in Vicinity Of City Com
plain OF One OF Worst
Seasons on Record

-. i
They are saying insulting things
about J. Jupiter Pluvius down
around Center Market. these farm
ers from Maryland and Virginia.
First Pluvius made himself a
nuisance and now he won't come
around at all. they grumble.
Look what we have to bring in
to market" said T. L. Milstead,
owner Of q neat piece Of land near
Burtonsviille, Montgomery County,
Nd, as he pointed to his baskets.
''No corn, it's IN terrible con.
dition; no potatoes, they're as bad,
and only q few beans, and those
scabby looking apples.
The farmers, when business gets
dull, sit around and swap tales Of
how dry their land is and how yell
low their corn.
1T couldn't do anything but rain
In the spring and consequently we
couldn't plant until the first of
June" said Mr.. Milstead.
Then after we get our stuff
planted, It quits raining entirely"
The summer corn crop il the
worst In years, according to the
farmers and there is little hope for
any sort Of fall corn. The early
potatoes didn't amount to much and
the late potatoes probably win be
as bad.
As fact as the farmers sprayed
their fruit. trees, the rains washed
them off. the grumbling continues,
and although there Is pretty fair
sized crop, the quality Is poor.
1.-THE truth Of the matter is," Mr..
Milstead said, 1--WE farmers outside
the District are up against one Of
the toughest years we have ever
known. And the unpleasant fea-
ture Of it is, that only this region
seems to be SO hard hit by the
uneuual distribution Of rain
