spectacular advances since the first

Bulls in the oil stocks were busily
engaged in circulating reports about
impending mergers and new COM
binations of California companies

and refiners.

Stewards Washington Letter
BY CHARLES II. STEWART
NEA Service Writer.

| WASHINGTON-Air mail? There are
at least two kinds. One is made up of
just the regulation letters which are
sent to their destination by planes. An
other consists of notes to Mexico.
| These notes which President Gales
is supposed to read may go by train or
plane, but they are so light, and fluffy,
and meaningless, they simply must be
classified as "air MALL
/ Indications are that he is about to
receive another one President Cool
idge and Secretary of State Kellogg
have talked things over with James
Rockwell Sheffield, American ambas-
sador to Mexico, who is home on his
vacation.
Naturally, this calls for note. What
good it will do isn't very clear. Shelf
field himself says Gales keeps right
on with the same old policies.
! There have been so many of these
notes they are hard to keep track of,
but it really isn't necessary. The same
motif, "Ya gotta quit kickin' our dog
aroun'," runs through all of them.
None, however, mention what will hap
pen to Gales if he doesn't quit it.
The fact is the administration is
somewhat between the devil and the
deep blue sea in the matter of Mexico.
/ On the one hand, some very large
American interests in Mexico would
like to see this government go to the
mat with Mexico's. They want what
they want by peaceful means if possi-
BILE, but they want it, anyway. And
the administration is respectful of
large interests.
On the other hand, the administration
strongly suspects that what the in
terests want can't be secured peaceably
and it doubts if violent measures, in
behalf of few interests, would be
popular The administration is mind
full, also, of its popularity.
Consequently in it's underwriting to
Gales, it always stops a little bit short
of calling his hand completely.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
APPEARANCES

APPHGARANCEES
There is no evidence that owls
Are wiser than the other fowls;
They cannot talk, as parrots do,
But with their wierd, "To whit, to
who?"
They frighten other birds away
And thereby rob themselves of prey.
They cannot sing, like 1arks and wrens
Or find themselves safe homes, like
hens
With plenteous food, and sheltered
walks
Where they are quite secure from
hawks.
All day on limbs owls browse and doze
The sport of mocl1ing DAVIS and crows;
And shudder with a horrid fear
Whenever king birds happen near
And yet it's bruited everywhere
That owls are savants of the air
And men agree, without demur
Because they look as if they were.
And like some men, though lacking wit
They calmly get away with it.
