WHAT BECOMES OF MATCHES

Every day the people of the world light nearly IA billion matches or sew en for every man, woman and child. We'd always had a hay notion that matchmaking was a small industry, compared with the major activities. So 1t surprised us to learn that the worlds people pay 200 million dollars year for matches and that here in the United States alone 30 million dol lars is invested in matchmaking equip ment. Oh, we'll, nearly every man is an ignoramus outside of his own business.

COOLIDGE ASKS FUR FACTS ON LEASING
 THE TEAPOT DOME
EXPERT INQUIRY INTO WISDOM OF THE FALL OIL LEASE
 SOUGHT BY COOLIDGE
\ PROPOSAL BY D0HENY
Says He Would Cancel His Oil Lease On Certain Conditions-Gov't
 Must Reimburse

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13-An order by President Coolidge for an ex- pert inquiry into the wisdom of the Fall oil leasing policy was followed today by an offer of E. L. Doheny to ' cancel conditiOnally his lease to the oil reserve in California
 The government would be called upon, however, to reimburse the Pan-American Petroleum and Trans port Company for it's actual expendi- ture under the contract.
 This is a modification of Doheny's original offer to cancel if board of experts decided that the contracts were not advantageous to the gov ernment
 Mir. Doheny's offer was made by his counsel, Gavin McNabb, but no immediate action was taken on it.
 The president asked the depart A ment to furnish him at the earliest possible moment a report on the ques- tion of whether the leases protect the interests of the government This in- quiry is separate from the instruc- tions given the department of justice, which is studying the evidence to de termine whether there has been proof Of fraud, but both actions are direct ed toward the same end. The purpose is to ascertain definitely whether the leases should be cancelled
 Public Statement Likely.
 MT. Coolidge may make public statement ot the governments in- tentiOns, both as to criminal and civil proceedings, as soon as the de- partmental investigations are con cluded and as soon as Mir. Fall has been given an opportunity to present his side of the matter to the senate committee.
 The president beneves the evidence produced before the oolnmlLtee is too srious to warrant nucn delay in delin- eating the governments course He does not think it should be pos tponed unl:l the committee makes it's report.
 The disclosures before the senate committee were talked ove. by the president today with John I. Adams chairman of the republican commit tee. MT. Adams declined to discuss the nature of the conlel ence, but indl- cated that his views on the matter had ben set forth in an editorial appear ing in the current number ot the Ma tional Republican, which says:
 The disclosures in the Fall case are in a sense discreditable to the United States senate and to the Harding administration for Senator Fall was a member of both. They do not, however, involve the integrity of the senate or the Harding administra- tiOn ds whole.
 Guilt is personal and dishonesty is a characteristic that has been not ed in men of all parties; there will ue'er be political party in which all 0f its members charged with respon- slrii,y may be depended upon not to batray their trust ? Every act committed by an official In violation of the laws he has sworn to uphold, every betrawal of trust by Whomsoever committed, should be prosecuted with view to punishment of the guilty
