Lieutenant Wards goal just as the
finish bell sounded decided a game
which developed thrills as it went
along.
DEVELOPS ACTION.
In the first couple of periods there
was more whacking of ponies shins
than the ball, but the players got their
eyes on the pellet, notably Lieutenant
Stearley, Kelly Field stSr, and Lieu
tenant Ward, and exciting polo was
the result.
A pony kicked the ball through for
the first Kelly Field goal. Lieuten-
ant Ward scored to make. it Al for
Meade. counting the gift of three goals
by handicap. Major Andrews counted
for Kelly and then Lieutenant Stear-
ley, to make it 4-3. Stearley tied the
score with beautiful goal and, in the
next period. the seventh, put his team
ahead by galloping the ball between
the uprights again.
WALL TIES 1T.
- Lieutenant Wall tied it for Meade
with a long run down the field, and.
as the game ended, goal by Ward
settled the verdict.
There was lots Of hard riding but
only one near-accident. Stearley's
horse tripped on the sideboards in a
mixup in the middle of the game and
sat down. Stearley kept his seat and
dashed back into the play without
rest.

HERE'S REAL PROGRESS

Since Herbert B. Hoover became chief of the
Department of Commerce he has standardized hun
dreds of things that in daily lives.
Kitchenware is now made only in specified sizes
Bed blankets come in certain lengths and widths
from which no manufacturer deviates Even beds
and bedsteads cut out to meet patterns which
Hoover has decided are the ones and only ones
which should be used
All this standardization is said to make for
greater efficiency in big quantity production The
commerce department believes it Is we'll to have
such minor matters decided and for all time,
like the calendar, the clock and the church ritual
Standardization is said to be policy which
Hoover has followed in his own personal life Long
ago. it is said, he decided on certain patterns of
business suits evening clothes, shirts collars and
ties and so now he has to waste any time
picking out the things in a haberdashery.
Today the broke that a schedule for tip
ping in the United States has been made out and
guaranteed as correct.
The intricacies of the tipping problem in this
country range all the way from Shall or shan't
tip?" to rs it better to tip too much and be rated
fool, or to tip toolow and be rated tight-wad?"
1t has now been decided that a tip for 25-cent
shave should be 10 cents, nothing at all if your
barber talks too much.
A haircut deserves a tip of 20 or 25 cents for
both ladies and gentlemen.
Walters can reasonably expect to get one dol
lar on any check between and eleven dollars,
but their general rake-of is to be Is per cent on
checks under two dollars, and 10 per cent when the
check is more than that amount
We're mighty glad it has all been decided for rs.
and while has definitely stated that Mr..
Hoovers department of simplifed trade practices is
responsible for the schedule who else would have
had the courage?

THE REAL TROUBLE

Whether the Attorney General names special
prosecutors who draw rather sizeabe fees or the
county hires few more lawyers to send booteggers
to jail is not matter of much Importance
Under the State dry law convicted booteggers
convicted by special prosecutors pay special fee
for each case, which goes to the lawyer mus en-
gagged.
The whole theory of that law was to make it
profitable for lawyers to prosecute the liquor Vlo'
lator.
Under one of its sections one of the attorneys
for the State AntiSaloon League makes his salary
by putting padlocks property after the police and
sherifs have confessed that repeated arrests Go
not stop the sale of booze.
The matter is not important because the truth
is that the whole prosecution of this law has been
failure and will always be a failure.
If the regular prosecutor sends bootegger to
JAIL there another to catch tomorrow, perhaps two
more to take his place.
If these specia, assistants of the Attorney Cen
eral of The State OH fee basis gouge more deeply
into the profits of the bootlegger and hijacker, it
simply means that the stuff they sell will be little
more poisonous or trjfe higher priced
Here is one crime which can not be curbed by
making it costly.
The experience of this and every other city has
been that ping up more fines has no effect nor has
the terror of jail frightened any one
The truth is that the law has not taken away
the desire for booze the part of large portion
of the community but the very fact that it is diff
cult to get makes it desirable and more fash
ionable in the view of many who drank before
it was a crime to look upon red liquor.
The profits too big in that business. The
trouble lies deeper than law.
The truth is that the bootleggers in the
business of selling their stuff because very many
people want it and willing to pay any price to
get it
That is why there has been and is bribery
an unprecedented scale.
1t is because the profits big that mat.
ter how big the fines, others will embark the
business.
So why worry whether the county pays few
more prosecutors to send to Jail the specials
get their big fees from the bootegger.
The only possible effect be in the price of
booze, not in respect for law or in sobrety.

A lot of very eminent statesmen
are worrying themselves and the
rest Of US needlessly over disarma-
ment.
So far as existing engines and in
struments go, inventiveness is scrap
pirg them faster than international
rferences possibly could.
Disarmament, to be genuine. in
wolves the suppression of new de-
vices much more definitely than old
ones.
The world could sink every battle
ship now afioat and still have the
ways well creased for a deadlier war
than ever occurred.
Guns to squirt acid mile; gases
to poison everything with which
they come in contact and keep it
poison for months. radio-guided air
planes to rain "a CHASTITY dew; dis
ease germs to infect whole cities
these and other devilish contrivances

Pie Started Him

Tom Johnson, confessed murderer
and thief, who is neld in Minneapolis

continues to astonish the police.
He recalls and admits no less than
LOO crimes during the last twenty
years, $50 in Omaha; 175 in New
York. an equal number in San Fran
cisco; 40 in Sioux City; 20 in Butte;
II in Los Angeles and IS in Calves
ton, not to mention a lot of other
places.
1t all began with stealing a pie,
he says. for which he was sentenced
to a year IN jail. but whether it was
the theft or the punishment that
started him on his downward career
he does not explain.
And now that he has given the
police of a dozen cities such a splen-
did opportunity to catch him only to
be obliged to give himself up in the
end. he wants to get it over with"
and spend the rest of his life peace
fully in prison" which desire the law
could hardly refuse./

OIL AND THE STOCK MARKET

The Wall Street Journal reports to its custo-
mers that there will be nothing in the coming report
of the Federal oil conservation board ito affect the
stock market"
That's probably another way of saying that there
won't be anything in the report Otherwise it
wouldn't be safe to predict that sensitive and
temperamental stock market won't be affected
If true, it's too bad. Not that anybody wants
to see Secretaries Work, Hoover, Davis and Wilbur
members of the oil conservation board-deliber-
ately upset the stock market
1t certainly is to be hoped, however, that they
will have potent remarks to make about the
production of oil in this country.
1t is the estimate of one nationally known oil
geologst that 80 cent Of the oil that's discovered
is left right in the pools where it is found Allow
him wide margin of error, and it's still true that
most of the oil that is located never gets out of
the ground
One of the reasons at any rate is perfectly
clear BY permitting freefor-all drilling, instead Of
developing oil pools a unit, most Of the oil is
wasted Gas pockets available for use in forcing oil
cut of the ground if pools were scientifically ex-
plotted, now frequently tapped, and the gas is
allowed to escape Competitors all trying to get oil
from the same pool vie with each other in putting
down wells. That reduces pressure The result is
oil left in the ground which would otherwise be
recovered
With our oil reserve going down at an alarm
ing rate it's time to put end to the primitive
methods we've been using in oil mining
Such move might affect adversely the interests
of some oil companies. 1t might concevaby affect
the stock market"
The assurance that brokers need not be con-,
cerned about the suggests that it may be going
to sdestep the oil drilling problem on grounds of
possible conflict with the antitrust laws or the pro-
visions OF the Constitution protecting private prop
erty.
If that developsNo be the cause it will be
fortunate It's time to take vigorous steps to check
the needless dissipation of oil resources even If need
