Story for Three Years.

ter do what he says. Make it a
true story. even though it be a de-
iightful fairy story. Unless the story
is true in form and spirit better not
tell It
That does not mean that a true
story Is one Of actual happening. To
perfect story. 1t fits so exactly the
dreaming mood Of the little girl who
loves it. There is enough of life's
shadow to stay true to art, and the
flooding sunshine is true to child
hoods need and growth. No awful
threat intrudes, no wicked witch. no
direful fate awaits any one. Child
hood could not take the story to its
heart if that were 80. Evil is not
true to the mood of childhood and a
story stained by 1t is diStaSteful.

little children this morning and it
was SO awful 1t was funny. Funny
to me. gray-haired and immune to
the power of wicked witches. but

taut little face, the release of the

All stories for Three Years must
have a happy ending and the sus-
pense must not be overdone lest a
taut string snap. Peter Rabbit must
reach home safely. Wee Robin must
escape the Gray Puss. The Kittens
must find their mittens and have
some pie Mother Huhbard's dog must
get his bone. Three Years story must
be true to the heart of Three Years.
In his heart there Is no shadow of
evil, no comprehension of 1t. Keep
the very thought Of it from him as
long as possible and select his stories
so that they will be true" for him.
Have no fear of deceiving him.

Martha only too plainly what was go

MEXICAN OIL LAW
SITUATION |SSAME
Regulations Giving Effect to
New Statutes Still to
Be Formulated.
BY the Associated Press.


MENICO CITY. March 20.-While
various reports, some optimistic, some
pessimiStic, are circulating regarding
the status of MeXico's new petroleum
and land ownership laws, the Asso-
ciated Press learns on reliable author
itN that there has been no funda-
mental change in the situation re-
garding these statutes, and that the
uncertainty of the past several
months still prevails.
In neither case have the reEula-
tions giving effect to these laws been
officially formulated. and 1t still Is
uncertain what these will be. Ap-
parently there is an even chance that
their publication will be delayed IN
definitely.
The exchange of views between
REPRESENTATIVES, of the foreign OH
interests and the Mexican govern
ment are continuing. As a result OF
these conferences tentative drafts OF
suggested regulations have Deeh
drawn up and are being studied pS

However. these drafts. containing
about 10000 words. are not official

struct the regulations. the govern
ment retaining complete freedom to
promulgate whatever rules it desires
The regulations will become otiicial
only when they appear in the Dlaflo

licatiOn.
The belief is held in some well
Informed quarters that the chances
are good for the oil interests ana
the government to reach mutually
satisfactory agreement with respect
ia the regulations. and the govern
,nent is distinctly optimistic on this
point. The chief question at issue
seems to be article IA of the petro-
.eum law, which would convert lease
holds acquired prior to 1917 into aV'
year concessions. The oil interests
generally are dissatisfied with this
provision and desire that it be con-
siderably modified.
