DOHENY HEARD
FROM

Then Doheny was heard from.
Appearing before the investigators
he related it was he who loaned
100000 to Fall to buy the rancn.
He said he did it because he and
Fall were very old friends. He did
it some months before the Elk Hills
lease was made and denied any con.
nection between the loan and the
lease. (Doheny had said, but this
was before the investigation, that
ne hoped to make $100.QO0,0OO on
Elk Hills.)

Next come Col. ]. w. Zevely Wash
ington lawyer for Sinclair. He told
the senators of a $25, 900 loan, N
Liberty bonds, to Fall. He said the
loan was made by Sinclair but
through him, Zevely. This loan
WIS made after-the Teapot Dome.

connection between the loan and

MORE TO
COME

This seems to leave a good deal
still to be explained. FAN said he
got 100000 from Mclean, but ac-
cording to Mclean the check wasn't
cashed. Fall said he never got
"one cent" either from Sinclair or
Doheny ION account of any oil lease
or upon any other account whatso-
ever" According to Zevely and Do
heny he did, maybe not on account
OF any oil lease, but at any rate on
Some account. Also, what about
the $4,000 Archie Roosevelt men
tions, and the difference between
the $4,000 Fall appears to have,
received from Sinclair and Doheny
and the $180,00O that ,Caraway
thinks he spent?

FALLS
STORY

Fall first said be bought the
ranch with 100000 he borrowed
from E. B, Mclean, the newspaper
owner. Mclean said it was true
he gave Fall a 100000 check but
got it back again uncashed.

BLAMED

Originally Teapot Dome and Elk
Hills were the navy's. Secretary
Denly turned them over to Fan, as
secretary of the interior, to man
age Some senators say this was
very careless of DENLY. They
blame Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., too.
Fault is found likewise with Attor-

ground that he wasn't alert enough
as the governments lawyer to pro-
tect its interests.

~ interesting than the plain,
ordinary, little black ant. So
when you see one running lickety.
split across a pavement, don't
consider him lightly or think
that he's just running for exer-

Our study of the ant was re.
newed one summer when Bobby
informed me that there was a
busy colony down at the foot OF
the garden. So you may be sure
from that time on we watched
them with the keenest delight.
OF course, I knew that in the
ant world there are kings, queens,
slaves and even nurses to take
care Of the babies. also knew
that these remarkable little crea-
lures keep cows-yes, cows-lit-
tie insects that give milk for the
young.
However, didn't know that
ants were fighting family until
one day Bobby came running in
and said:
Foxy Grandpa, there's some
thing strange going on out in the
ant colony" and his eyes were as
big as saucers.
What is it, Bobby?" I asked.

boy answered.

There these little insects were
struggling with each other, stand.
up ON their hind legs, it seemed,
and striking at each other.
Every once in a while one of
the warriors overcame his foe
and down dead the vanquished
fell.
Immediately the victor would
fly at another of the enemy
forces and down another of them
would go.
In short time, the battlefield
was strewn with dead soldiers.

GETTING RID
OF ANTS

A Recognized Authority on All
Matters Pertaining to House

Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.
TT owEvER much the thrift
ii Of the ant may be used as
q moral example for the
young, its business can be most
annoying when it selects the
cake box or the sugar jar as its
scene Of action. The ants that
bother housewives come in two
colcrs-red and black-and the
black, at least, come in two sizes.
Tho most discouraging part Of
the problem Of dealing with these
pests is that they have such q
wide taste for almost all manner
Of food products and that they
bring so many of their friends
and relatives to enjoy the feast
once they discover a tempting
source Of refreshments.
II all foods cannot be removed
from accessibility by the ants,
the supports of all cabinets and
cupboards containing food stuffs
may be set in small pans of
water which is covered with a
finn OF oil. All substances likely
to attract ants should never be
left exposed 80 that the news Of
their availability spreads to the
ants. Then your trouble begins.
Many forms or treatment are
suggested as means Of Kidding
the house Of ants. Az a matter
Of fact. most of them are at best
only discouraging. While one
may kill thousands Of ants by
trapping them in sweetened
sponges. other thousands take
their places. unless by chance a
new and more inviting source Of
food supply and one accompanied
by less hazards IL discovered in
some nearby locality.
Sugar and borax dissolved in
boiling water is a favorite form
Of poisoned bait. Camphor left
about the food places, tartar
emetic mixed with honey for those
ants whose tastes favor sweets,
and with bacon grease and butter
for those liking a heartier diet, or
sodium fluodde sprinkled about,
are discouraging remedies that
may turn the trick and cause the
ants to disappear.
In the South, food shelves and
cabinets are sometimes protected
by lacking a poisoned tape along
the edges. This affords a sort Of
dead line across which the ants
are said not to pass. The tape
may be secured at drug stores in
certain sections Of the country,
corrosive sublimate being the
poison most frequently used.
II poison solutions are made
sufficiently weak they may be
carried to the home # the sol
ony by the busy worker ants and
fed to the young, thus the whole
community Is gradually destroy
ed. For such syrups a cup of
sugar dissolved in a pint of water
with sixty grains Of arsenate Of
soda added is an effective mix
ture.
