Had you any knowledge prior to that time of the intention 10 lease an of Teapot Dome?"

 Martin W. Littleton. counsel for Sinclair. began the cross examina- ton by developing that war plans were made by q general board-''the elder statesmen Of the navy" as Roosevelt put ii.
 After he had testified that he had little knowledge of plans relating to naval oil leases because he was busy with other matters. Roosevelt was excused He was on the stand only five minutes.

 Next the government turned 10 the efforts Of other oil companies to set leases on Teapot Dome. calling Prank F.. kiStler, president of the Producers and R"tiners' corporation, who said Fall told him in March. 1929. that he was not ready to con- sidor proposals for . lease. Fall told him. he said, that if he decided 10 make a lease he would let me Lnow so l could submit bid.'
 When did you learn the resrvo had been leased "'
 T read in the newspapers that the Dome had been leased. That Was late in April"
 Had you received any communi- cation from Secretary Fall or the interior department in the mean time"'

 On gross examination, Ki&tler said he offered the government c5 per cent royalty on oil produced.
 Would you have paid the royal tios required of Sinclair?" Littlcton asked.
 "Wcll. y"s, I could have paid high royalties on Gushor wells" kistlcr replied, but he added he could not have bought government royalty oil.
 "Would yon have agreed to con struct pipe line if you had got th' whole of Tea Pot Dome ?''

ing and twisting without their re
sistance being lowered. If the cord
kinks there is immediate likelihood oil
one of the wires swapping. Then the
cord is useless. Perhaps 1t can be
mended. but this means either that
the cord will be shortened or a mend
be more or less apparent. Meanwhile
the cord Is out of commission.
Suggestion.
The best way to put cords away
when not in use is to let them hans
from some holder. This may consist
of wooden pegs fastened to the wall
at a good height from the floor, III
pantry or kitchen. Enough space
should be left between pegs to let the
cord go through, but not the screw
portion. If the cord is extra long, the
plug end may be suspended also, al.
lowing the cord to fall in a long and
easy loop between the two supporting
ends. Any wooden pegs can be used,
but a simple device consists Of the
teeth of wooden rake. Secure this
to the pantry wall in some handy
spot, in such a manner that the teeth
slant backward toward the wall. The
cord ends when put in this holder will
naturally slide back toward the wall
and be doubly secure.
Fault.
One reason for cords giving out is
that they are often used to pull the
knife end part out of the screw por-
ton. This yanks the cord from its
fastening where 1t is attached by
screws to the hard rubber. Never do
this If you have any respect for the
cord. Instead. grasp the part to be
separated from the screwed-in portion
and pull it firmly from the other part.
Of course, we are assuming that the
cord has a two.part screw portion.
The part that plugs into the electric
utensil should be pulled away from the
utensil in the same way. Avoid pull
ing cords out. Always pull out the
ends attached to the cords. Save your
selves trouble by these precautions.
Preeautlon.
See that the hard rubber ends do
not strike against harsh surfaces, as
they are breakable and will chip. A
Clipped end is unsightly, even IL 1t is
not put out of use by actually being
broken.
Good Way.
When attaching cords to sockets
separate the screw portion from the
knife portion and screw the scred end
into the socket. Then press the knife
end into it. This saves the cord. If
you leave the screw and knife parts
together and screw in the tip, the
cord gets twisted and the fine wires
inside 1T will give out long before they
otherwise would
Handle attached cords with respect.
The electric current may not be off
and if there is an abrasion in the COW
ering of the wires that forms the cord
YOU may get a shock. This may be
unpleasant without being anything
more. The wisest thing to do Is to see
that electric currents are turned off
at sockets.
