Drilling North
Now Encouraging

Recent reports on the conditions
being developed by the Spindle Top
test we'll which is being drilled i'll
the low range of scdimcntarv hills
north of the Salton Sea are to the
effect that the well has proven the
structure to be oil and gas bearing.
These findings are considered to be
Of an important value for the cX-
tcnSive marine formations found
throughout the Imperial Valley have
been regarded generally as barren
of petroleum substances heretofore.
Completion of productive well ii
this region will result probably in
opening a large source of oil pro-
duction.. Adverse opinions formed
through the failure of the Diamond
Bar and Brawley wells to develop
apprcciable amounts of oil and gas
by drilling in this area have been
discredited largely through findings
that absence Of the products in com
mercial quantities was due to local
structural features which precluded
Ill possibilities of such find. These

over a period of nearly two years on
the Oswald Brothers Contracting
company, netted the paymastcr and
bookkeeper approximately $4,000,

The scheme, clcvcrly concealed

employed at approximately the same
time by the contracting company.
Actual operations commenced in
january, 1925, and extended until

A SECONDHAND EMPIRE

Mussolin celebrating the 26S0th birthday of the
Eternal City was at his best. 1t fine opporun-
ity for his eloquent tributes Roman Glory and his
appeals for the revival of the old Empire 1t touched
the imagination of all everywhere, who know the
story of Rome.
Yet this is false quest For the glory he seeks to
revive is only material glory. Genuine human glory
is in men, not things. The real question is what kind
of men regime like Mussolini's will produce.
This Fascist leader seems akin to the old Roman
enperors. Very we'll. What did they do for the
Romans
The glory of Rome the glory of the Republic,
with what was added under the first emperor, Caesar
Augustus. His reign marked the transition from free
dom to tyranny. After that long line OF abso-
Lutte dictators. There only one free man IN the
empire-the Emperor himself. He was free to declare
war Danish execute his critics, confscae property
burn Christians and establish his standards IN all
things And So because political slavery kills the ere
ative spirit there are scarcely half dozen great
Roman names remembered after Augustus, for more
than thousand years. until free men from the North
had brought fresh vitality and produced the Italian
Renaissance.
The GLORY that Greece was the glory OF de-
mocracy. 1t likewise killed by the empire of Alex
ander and the Roman rule that followed.
But nations to learn from history, and
are easily deceived by words So Italy, which gave
America the first example of great, Free creative re-
public seems determined to sacrifice her modern ideal
ism and manhood to secondhand Roman Empire.

TEACHING ITS OWN CAREER

Because number of provincial premlers started
their careers as school teachers Canadian newspaper
concludes that 'the best training for public man IN
Canada is a few years school teacher. The sue
cessful teacher discipline and be disciplined must
be tactful and thorough, and therefore becomes we'll
fitted for honorable and successful political
Teaching has long been used stepping stone
to other professions Often young people planning to
become doctors lawyers, bat obligated to
money first have chosen teaching for that purpose
This has been true in our country as in any
other.
Somehow it seems a bit unfair to teaching, which
is as valuable profession any of them. Teaching
should be regarded career IN itself rather than
stepping stone to one If everybody took to teaching
simply to little money. temporarily, the schools
would be left always with shifting personnel. New,
green teachers would always be starting. There would
be few experienced teachers.
Fortunately this is not real danger. Strcter re-
quirements in the character personality education and
experience of teachers arouslng in the public mind
the respect for the profession which deserves and
are causing better fitted individuals choose it
in itself Better pay for teachers too, is hay
ing its effect in attracting and holding fine and
women.

Station WEAF, of New York,

we felt somewhat lost when called
on to pinch-hit for Gardner Mack.
However. we went home intending
to at least make a stab at criticism
of the kind he INDUCES in.
But our radio set had been out
of operation for year and felt no
responsibility in being called upon
to pinch hit. We spent most of
the evening in a vain effort to
repair it and then gave up.
We venture the opinion, however,
that WRC was broadcasting and
as there was evidently no storm,
feel sure that the wires stayed
intact and the chain program came
through without mishap.
We intend to hear the radio
industries banquet tonight IL it's
the last thing we ever do. The
program seems to include about
everybody but President Coolidge

PINCH HITTING
FOR MACK
BY LISTENER-N

With Gardner Mack. the usual
orator OF this column, in New
York city attending the Radio
Industries Banquet and other fes-
tivities In connection with radio
called in to pinch hit for a day
back by Saturday, however.
Radio has changed considerably
since we used to write the old
Romping Around the Radio DIAL
under the pen name Of Listener
In, and now we feel much the
same as the average feminine fan
at ball game would probably
feel IL called into pinch hit for
Goose Goslin.
In those days radio was more of
an experiment than an established
Industry, and radio columns were
inclined to be experimental rather
than to assume the sophistication
OF the ordinary dramatic or music
column.
But within the past year or two
radio has made great strides in the
matter of programs and now rates
something in the nature OF serious
musical criticism.
Advertising IN radio mas produced
the great change. 1t has furnished
the money needed TO make worth
while radio programs and from now
on it viii probably continue to do
so in much greater proportions than
heretofore.
Where a year or two ago the
Radio Corporation Of America
scoffed at radio advertising and was
proud OF the fact that its stations
were free broadcasters and did not
charge a cent, now that company
has come around to the pay as you
20 theory expounded by the telephone
company stations with such success.
