Americas Turn
to Discover

BIZ United Press
Opportunity for American discov-
cry Of a new continent in the Arc
tic regions-if such land exists-is
still open to Donald Macmillan.
Roald Amundsen failed to find
land in his epochal flight toward
the pole. Returning, after thrill
ing adventures In the northern ice
fields, Amundsen brought reports of
soundings, confirming previous OBJ
servations of the oceans depth in
the Arctic region. He probably came
closer to the pole than any ex-
plorer, save Peary, who reached it,
but first reports from Amundsen's s
expedition bring no information to
detract from the mission upon
which Macmillan and his associates
set out tomorrow.
"Still Risky"
The difficulties ahead of Mac
MILAN and his party after they take
to the air in the naval airplanes,
are now clearly brought to the
fore. The New York World, in CON-
menting upon 'Amundsen's heroic
failure" points out that "air navi-
cation is still a risky method Of
penetrating the frozen north"
Fog prevented him from max
ing indispensable observations; winds
slowed his speed and pushed him
from his course; nowhere among
the jagged foes OF the polar cap
could he find a suitable landing
place, and when he alighted, his
planes were Immediately locked tight
in a freezing sea lane"

OSLO, June 19.-Roald Amundsen,

TEAPOT OIL LEASES ARE UPHELD
Sinclair, MiIIionair Oil 0per-

Victory Over Government
in Wyoming Federal Court
Decision PIeaSes There.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 19.-The
lease OF the Mammoth Oil Company,
on the Teapot Dome naval oil re-
serve in Wyoming, was held legal
by Federal Judge T. Blake Ken
nedy in a decision announced here
today.
Judge Kennedy's decision was
given in the Government suit to
break the lease on the ground 1t
was obtained by Harry F. Sinclair
from Albert B. Fall, then Secretary
Of the Interior, through fraud and
conspiracy.
Decision PIeases
Harry F. Sinclair, organizer of
the company which held the lease
was looked upon as a benefactor by
a majority of Wyoming residents.
They argued that Sinclair's offer
for the reserve was the best that
could be obtained from the in
dependent concerns and that his de-
velopment of the 5000 acre tract and
the construction of a pipe line into
Missouri meant development Of the
States oil industry.
Owen j. Roberts and Atlee
Pomerene, Government counsel,
were at disadvantage during trial
of the suit last March, but in spite
Of this, they put up a hard battle.
Those who heard the proceedings
were of the opinion that the two at
torneys were making a splendid
fight with the weapons at their com.
mand
Ends Three Year Battle
In lengthy decision. comprising
approximately 10000 words, Judge
Kennedy ruled that the government
had failed to prove its evidence suf-
ficient to nullify the lease.
Judge Kennedy's decision ended
three years Of political controversy
and litigation arising out of Falls
action in leasing the oil-bearing
structure to Sinclair's Mammoth OIL
Company.
The decision came three months
after attorneys for opposing sides
had argued the legal and highly
technical aspects OF the lease before
Judge Kennedy in Federal Court
here.

What Children Should Learn
About Health

1t is not enough to possess Health; must
live sensiby in order to retain Health.
And just we have Commandments for the
guidance of our souls, just are there Rules of
Living proclaimed by the Prophets of Health, the
teachers of Hygiene, for the protection of our
bodies, the wonderful abodes in which dwell our
souls
Many young people die early because they pay
no attention to the Rules of Health.
Those who are strong and seem healthy are in
particular apt to disregard Health Rules, and they
are attacked by disease before they realize their
danger.
If you would keep your bodies strong and beau
tful follow the advice issued in our Sunday Bull
letins and in our Pamphlets and other literature
which you get in the Public Schools.
Remember that:
Health Rules help the strong to remain strong.
the weak to become strong, and, by preventing
Sickness they engthen the average span of human
