Rockefeller Has Trouble
With Caddies, Though
They're AWed.
By Hamilton NJ. Wright, Jr.
NEA Serpice Writer

ORMOND BEACH, Fla, Feb.
I took a lesson in golf from John
D. Rockefeller, Sr., the other day.
I took it by observation as 1 kept
Mr.. Rockefeller's score.
When the six-hole game was over,
Mr.. Rockefeller gave me a shiny
new dime.
I'm glad you couldn't count more
than seven" he laughed.
Playing with Mr. Rockefeller were
Mrs. ]. V. Warner, Mr.. Boulder and
General Adelbert Ames.
I thought Mr.. Rockefeler's game
remarkable. He wore, by the way,
gray cap and suit, with a sweater
under the coat, and white cloth
gloves.
Mr.. Rockefeller was the last to
drive off at the first tee. He sent
the ball straight down the fairway
for $50 yards. His second shot hit
the green, but the ball rolled on
across.
The Repartee Starts
you can take that shot over II
you wish" said the General.
IT don't have to- It's already
over" chuckled Mr.. Rockefeller.
The General missed putt, and In
sisted the hole was in the wrong
place.
When they drove off from the Sec
ond tee, Mr.. Rockefeller's ball
bounced into the rough. He came
up, and looked at 1t thoughtfully.
Better move 1t over here" he
said to hts darby caddy, indicating a
spot on the fairway.
you know we give ourselves all
kinds Of license" he said to me.
Mr.. Rockefeller made a remark
ably good shot on the third green.
Mrs. Warner came over and shook
his hand.
'Well, 7 don't know what kind OF
game I'd play If it were not for
all these kind remarks" he said.
Another Wise Crack
General A.mes teed up, took a long
swing and a poor drive into the
rough.
"Too much talking, too much talk
ing" he protested. IT can't drive
when you people talk"
"Well, I didn't say athing," said
Mr.. Rockefeller. IT haven't said a
thing for the past six months
He laughed heartily, and thought
1t a good Joke on the General.

none of them said a word during the

Straight Into-the Pond
From the sixth tee Mr.. Rookie
Teller drove into pond.
Hurry Hurryv' he exclaimed to
his caddy. You can get the ball
before it sinks into the mud"
But the caddy was overcome by
stage fright, apparently. He didn't
move a step.
Mr.. Rockefeller teed up another
ball, and again drove into the pond.
He was puzzled.
II think 1 looked up" he said,
land I shouldn't do that. Did you
watch me?"
Nobody answered.
Mr.. Rockefeller glanced about and
saw another foursome headed by
Miss Dorothy Johnston, daughter Of
the manager Of the Hotel Ormond.
Come on and pass us. We are
in no hurry" shouted Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter. But Miss Johnston, thanking
him, begged that he keep right on.
For Economy's Sake
The oil king then walked to the
side of the pond to see if he could
find the ball. He said to the caddy:
Now don't you think that If you
made mark here in the mud, you
could get that ball when we're
through"

Mr.. Rockefeller then teed up the
third time, and made the hole in
seven. 1t was a par five.
How do the scores read?" Mr..
Rockefeller asked me en- route to the
eighth hole, where the game ended.
Are we holding our own? You
know I picked Mrs. Warner for my
partner. and I feel responsible for
her record"
I told him that he and Mrs. War
ner were one stroke under the Cen
eral and Mr.. Boulder. The score was
So to SO for five holes.
Bravo. bravo" said Mr.. Rookie
Teller to Mrs. Warner. I'VE are do
ing splendidly" And he struck up
a lively whistle.
I asked Mr.. Rockefeller then II I
might take some pictures. He
nodded his permission.
He sank an excellent putt on the
eighth green, and then walked out
to meet the foursome which was fol-
lowing. He shook hands with Miss
Johnston and two other young ladies'
in the party. Then his chauffeur
came and whisked him home.

FRENCH Debt
settlement IS
likely SOON
New Ambassador to u. S.
Composes 0ne-Man
Commission.
Times WGsh}n0tQr Bureau.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2e.-The
French debt to the United States,
amounting on June 16 last tc
$4,2270O0,0o0 likely will be settled
within the next ninety days.
A number Of things have hap
pened to change the Fr'anco-Ameri-
can debt situation since Finance
Minister Joseph Caillaux, in q huff,
hurried back to Paris following the
sudden and sensational collapse Of
the September parley.
Caillaux himself, brilliant, egotisti-
cal, has passed from the scene. With
him went what he once dubbed his
council of guardians"-the other
members Of the debt commission, a
varied assortment of personalities
ranging all the way from able to
decorative but dangerously dumb.
In their place France has sent to
Washington q one-man commission
Senator Henry Berenger, with the
rank of ambassador. Level-headed,
lacking the irascible, jumping jack
temperament which untitled CaillauX

Mellon, Hoover, Smoot and others
Of the particularly stolid American
war debt commission, he Is more
than likely to get results.
Shuff1es the Cards
Unofficially, Ambassador Berenger
has not yet commenced negotiations.
In reality, he began the day he land
ed. Now, quietly shutting the cards
preparing for the deal, when public
announcement IS finally made that
the game has begun, it will, in fact,
be nearly over.
Caiilaux lost out because he was
a poor poker player. He tried to fill
too many inside straights-he insist
ed upon too many formulas that
were not vital. Also, he set a time
when he would have to quit playing.
winner or loser, and it was his fate
to have to set up and leave the table
at the exact moment when his for
tunes were at their lowest Had he
taken the time for one more round,
a few more shuffies of the cards
might have given him a winning
hand.

Plenty OF Time

Ambassador Berenger has plenty
of time. He can take off his coat
and collar-even his shirt, If he
wants to-and play until the COWS
come home.
Meantime, sentiment and events
are veering his way. Officials here
are beginning to realize that France
faces a grave political crisis and that
something must be done, and done
soon, to save her. A debt settlement
Is imperative now to prevent disas-
ter. II the crash comes there is no
telling when, II ever, there will be
a settlement.
Aonther factor In frances favor
Is the uberality shown to italy fol-
lowing the CalIlaux 1asco. America
settled with her at 26 cents on the
dollar, present value-with no Sc
yious payments due on account for
he next decade-and loaned her an
other 500, 900 into the bargain.
Britain gave her even BETTER terms
than that.
Why, friends of France here are
asking, should France, who had the
war forced on her, and who suffered
far more than Italy suffered, be
treated less generously than Italy,
who came into the war Of her own
vol1tion nearly a year after 1t started
and for specific purposes Of her own?

SCHEDULED In

Helena, Jan. 13. Unless the

should take different view of
the law than does Judge W. H.

county district court, the state
will again lose its efforts to col

After the supreme court had
declared the two cent gasoline
tax to be discriminatory as ag-

idea that the state could still col

Accordingly a new action was

time to come, as it is reported
that Mr.. Rensch, ST., has become
so interested in the Kevin field
since his arrival, that he has TAX

neighborhood Of 2.500.000 bar
rels. Is is expected that produc-
tion figures from the leases will
reveal that the runs Of the pipe
line company fall considerably
short of representing the total
output of the field.
During the last year runs Of as
high as 1900 barrels a day have
been reported, while during 1924
the daily average never exceed
ed 1000 barrels. The increased
production has caused much int
crest in the field and it is expect
ed that the next II months will
see more activity than at any
time since the bringing in of the
discovery well.
The storage situation remains
about the same, approximately
40 per cent of the oil being run.
A large amount of storage is be-
ing built, however. and oil men
believe that all of the production
will be taken within the next two
months.
The Ohio Oil company is erect
ing two new $4,000 barrel tanks
on the tank farm at Sunburst and
the Illinois Pipe Line company
expects to have its new $4,000
b2rrel tank ready about February
l. This will give total storage
capacity there Of 485. 500 barrels.
The Illinois will have a total
of 324, 800 barrels.
In addition, the Homestake Ex-
corporation and Rice
Oil company are erecting private
storage tanks to care for their
swn production. The Homestake
Exploration now have material
IN the ground for one 80,000-bar-
rel tank and enough pipe to run
from their wells on their state |
ease to Sunburst. AS soon as the
,ank is built the pipe will be laid. |
The Rice company now have a
part of its 5000 barrel tank on
he lease and will start putting
t up Immediately.

Texas-Pacific is
Extending Program

An aggressive campaign to de
termine its resources in the Kew
in field is to be launched in the
near future by the Texas-Pacihc
Coal & Oil company, which re-
Gently purchased the holdings Of
the Homestake Exploration com
pany.
Harry Smith, of Fort Worth,
is now in the field in charge of
construction work in the field
and at the tank farm at Sun
burst.
Grading for the erection of a
new $4,000 barrel tank at Sun
burst i S now under way, and
a survey is being made for pipe
line which will run from the COM
pany's state lease, 36-35-2 W, to
Sunburst. Some of the material
for the tank is now on the
ground and in about 10 days
crews will complete the work.
The pipe line will be 10 miles
long and will be constructed of
four-inch pipe. The line will run
reasonably close to all the other
leases held by the company so
that feeders may be installed in
as needed.
A new 5000 barrel tank is be-
ing completed on the state lease
at the present time, and the first
oil probably will be turned into
it in about four days. The COM
pany already has twelve 500-bar-
rel and twelve 25O-barrel tanks
on the lease, but all are filled
with oil. 1t is the intention to
enlarge the capacity Of the 250-
barrel tanks to 500 barrels each
as soon as they can be emptied.
AS soon as the new storage is
completed the company expects
to be able to open up its No. 3
well, which has been partially
in for some time due to lack of
storage facilities.
The No. 4 well has been drilled
to the top of the sand and pro-
baby will be completed in the
near future. The rig for No. 5,
Sc ne ne 36-35-2w., h as been
erected and drilling is scheduled

Next Tuesday Is
City Election

Next Tuesday, January 26, the
city election will be held. This
election is called for the sole pur-

if we shall incorporate our city.
This is a matter of vital import

who has the interest of the city s
welfare at heart to get out and
vote. The Review is in favor of
Incorporation, and at the same
time we are in favor of keeping
down improvement measures to
limited amount, thereby not
working a hardship on property
owners. 1t is up to the voters,
should the incorporation carry,
to see to it that officers are chos
en- who will transact the business
in an economical manner. But
the time is not here for the cleo
tion of officers, the election be-
ing only to determine the incor-
poration. The officers of the city
will be elected at the April pri-
should the incorporation
carry Yes, we want incorpora-
