PRODUCE LESS"
Is Oil Cars Order to Drill
ers of Wells

New York.-Confdent that their oil
dictatorship in the Oklahoma fields
will not be challenged by the govern
ment, operators have decided to con-
tinue placing the limitation of drill
ing in the hands of one man. This
was agreed to at meeting in the
Offices of the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey.
Conferences have been held with
government officials and the federal
oil conservation board. These Off
cials express an interest in protect
ing" the industry, and the operators
consider this as sufficient evidence
that they will not be attacked under
the antitrust or conspiracy laws be-
cause of their attempts to slow down
production.
1t is the first time in the history
of this country that basic industry
has established dictator who will set
production that the market may be
upheld. 1t is believed that the plan
will be extended to other fields, but
the operators are moving slowly that
a popular antagonism is not develop
ed.

France Is called q Latin country,
but little save the language and some
customs are really left over from Ro-
man times. Racially, there Is no Eu-
ropean people more mixed. Two
thirds Of the dwellers in ancient Gaul
were Celts, the rest were Tautonic
Franks.
This Celto-Teutonic admixture In
the last 1900 years has absorbed Ro-
mans from all parts of that hetero-
geneous empire; pure Celts, In Brit
tany; Scandinavian Normans, In the
Seine valley; Teutonic Flemings and
Walloons, In the north; Teutons, In
Lorraine and Alsace; Italians, In Nice
and Savoy; Greeks and Arabs, on the
Mediterranean coast; Spaniards and
Basques, In the Pyrenees; English
and Scotch, In the southwest, which
was held by English kings for more
than century.
After the Napoleonic wars came
many Poles. Before 1914 Swiss, Ger
man and Belgian immigrants were be-
ing quickly assimilated. Such facts
augur well for the present undigested
contingents of Italians, Russians,
Czechs and Poles. There has been
talk, nevertheless, of establishing q
quota system similar to that In force
In the United States.

CONFIDENCE

Confidence runs through the fabric
of our daily existence like golden
cord. Other qualities, other motives,
are woven into our lives, but conf
dence is the cord that knits them to-
gether into an ordered whole and
keeps us from chaos and confusion.
Like the air we breathe and the
water we drink, we take confidence for
granted. But think what it would
mean if this golden cord were with
drawn or even broken.
Perhaps you have in pour pocket
at this moment a ten-dolLar bill. Did
you ever stop to think about its actual
worth? It's value as a piece of paper
probably is less than one cent. But
on that scrap of paper are these
words: "Teh dollars in gold coin pay
dDIS " DGetieI Oh ueIldIu-- - HlCtu
States of America" In our supreme
confidence that the United States will
keep that promise lies the whole value
Of that ten-dollar bill.
As in finance, SO in other fields,
The home, the backbone of the ma
ton, in turn rests upon the mutual
confidence of husband and wife. A
happy marriage is impossible without
confidence.
In war, the confidence of allies, one
in the other, makes victory possible.
In peace, confidence binds together
the whole industrial and commercial
structure

Nothing is perfect, and you don't

A competitor ,nay beat you in this

obvious. If you are trying to defend
an article or position that has too
many features wrong, drop It, Take
up something worth while Many an

man big enough to say that the other

TraUesfy on Coffee
Served by Jduanese

Java coffee Is renowned the world
over-in the bean. In the cup, as
served in the Dutch tropical posses
sions, 1t Is a frightful travesty ON cof
fee, writes Samuel g. Blythe in the
Saturday Evening Post.
They roast the bean until 1t is al
most burned, and grind 1t. Then they
let water drip through it or employ
some other occult process, and pro-
duce black, thick, acrid mixture
they call coffee essence. This Is
served cold in little pitcher, with q
larger pitcher Of hot water. The plot
Is to pour some of the essence into
your cup, fill the cup with the hot
water and revel In the murky COM
bination.
1t doesn't taste like coffee. It
tastes like some sort Of chemical So
luton used for cleaning rugs That
Is detail. There isn't good cupful
Of coffee, or cupful Of good coffee,
to be had outside of the United States
anywhere In this world, SO why Inn

QHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
Dy II. IRVING KING
THE CHICKENS HEART

WHEN a lover swallows chick
ems heart whole he-or she-as-
sures by that means continuance and
constancy In affection on the part of
the "adored one" This superstition Is
especially prevalent In the South
where the operation specified Is also
supposed to produce reciprocity of af-
fections even In one who has, hereto
fore, been Indifferent. 1t works the
same as ''love philtre" The reason is
apparent. BY swallowing the heart Of
chicken the lover places another
heart near his-the two hearts that
beat as one" idea. The heart, of
course, being supposed to be the seat
Of the affections even as we use the
word heart" symbolically today.
Now the heart the lover swallows
(places en- rapport with his OWN rep
resents the heart Of the party Of the
second part" and thus acts upon 1t on
the same principle as the wax image
Of man slowly melted before a fire
will cause the man himself to pine
away, 1t being standing, ancient rule
In magic that what Is done to the rep
resentation Of person, or thing, re-
acts upon the person or thing repre-
sented
Among savage tribes the hearts of
fowls and other animals are often
used for magical purposes analogous
to the one under consideration Thus
savage In some tribes will drive A
piece of wood, or spear, through the
heart of beeve, believing that by 80
doing he vitality INJURIES his enemy.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
The principle of collective bargain
ing originated with the workers. 1t
is their contribution to the advance
ment and promotion of industrial
peace and tranquility. They have
consistently appealed for the substi-
tuition of collective bargaining for
force, domination and industrial strife
in industry. The workers have sought
to promote understanding and stabil-
ize the industrial situation through
the acceptance and use of collective
bargaining.
1t is the workers plan and their
contention that misunderstanding
between employers and employees can
be eliminated, that the causes which
make for industrial strife can be
greatly reduced and that efficiency, CO
operation and good will can be brought
about. The breach between employ
ers and employees can be bridged by
personal contact, frank discussion and
common understanding arrived al
through collective bargaining
Through the operation of collective
bargaining wages have been increas-
ed, the hours of labor reduced, toler-
able conditions of workshops and fac
tories improved, a higher standard OF
workmanship and output made posi-
bic and an improvement in the morale
and standards of living among work
ing people established. The employer
has been benefited in that the possi.
bilities of strikes and interruptions il
operation have been reduced to mini
mum. Industrial peace and satisfac.
tion among working people have in
creased, and this has resulted in in
creased efficiency and a decreasing
cost Of production.

PROSPERITY BASE
Is High Wage System, De-
clares Secretary Davis

Pittsburgh.-"I destroys prosper
ity to reduce wages. Some other
methods should be used to reduce
COSTS" said Secretary of Labor Davis
in a speech before the Chamber of
Commerce.
"If low wages made country pros
porous, China with its 400,000,000 peo-
pie would be the most prosperous in
the world today" said the cabinet
member.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
also declared for high wages through
the elimination of waste, standardiz-
ing processes and by the use of labor
saving machinery and new inventions.
Secretary Davis made an indirect
reference to the bituminous coal strike
when he declared that the coal indus
try "is so years behind the times"
at is subject to frequent strikes
and to cut-throat competition, he
said. "It is subject to fuctuation of
price and to stoppage Of production
that keeps the country in constant
suspense and slows up other indus
tries. The contrast between that in
dustry and the other great modern
industrial institutions we have is a
tribute to those pioneers who devel-
oped the principle of organization and
first put it into practice.
q hope that as each of the other
major industries has developed its
genius, so also the basic industry of
coal will find among its leaders the
man who will bring system and order
into its operation"

DO NOT GOSSIP

Two men discussing matter that
was just at that time occupying pub
lie attention, or to put it more sue
cinctly was in the spotlight.
II don't know" said one of the men,
"but | heard" etc, and he then pro-
ceeded to detail the gossip that had
come to him, adding few spicy de-
tails to give the matter zest. 1t is
common practice. Your story must
be interesting, if you want to make
the desired impression, and all of us
like to make an impression. We want
to be known as delightful conversa-
tionalists, and also we want to give
to our gossip an air of verisimili-
tude, of being in the know. So we do
what seems to US a harmless thing,
we add a little and we are careless of
the truth. 1t does not occur to US
that the man to whom we are detail
ing and expanding an incident may
in order to make an impression he will
add little, and that the story will
grow and grow until it has little
h RI
exaggerated form will do great dam
age to reputation or to a business
venture.
Especially is this practice prevalent
in the unions. Any story that is
spicy in its derogation of local or in
ternational officers will grow with
repetition, and the growth will inev-
itably be malignant. The local officer
because he is on the ground can, when
he hears slander, defend himself. The
international officer seldom hears the
fabrication, and if he does is handi-
capped by distance, and also in the
course of its travels the tale has lost
its father, or has many fathers. So
not only is the personal damage al
most impossible of rectifcation, but
its harm is not confined to the officer,
the international union suffers.
Many members of unions are too
Indifferent or too lazy to look up the
facts, to read the publications for
which they pay, and which must ad-
here to the truth. The more eagerly,
therefore, do the careless and negli-
gent ones accept the word of the Cos
sip and the common falsifier. If he
has a plausible air and is known as a
good fellow, then what he says must
be true. The person who adds little
more in most cases does not do it in
vicious spirit based on intent to
harm. He simply does not realize the
great harm he may do to an individual
and to union. So it is full speed
ahead with him.
Perhaps it is all trait of human
nature impossible of cure. But it'll
would be remedied speedily and finally
eliminated as to harm, if we would all |
of US get the facts before we permit
ourselves to become carriers of poison
germs. There are some most unfor-
tunate individuals who are hosts to

FREE PIG CENSUS

Postmaster General New orders
fural mail carriers throughout the
United States to take census of the
pigs along their routes. The infor-
nation is wanted by the department
of agriculture in compiling crop esti-
mates.
But for the rural carriers this in
formation could only be secured after
an intricate and nationwide machine
was set up at cost that no one can
estimate.
But the census is taken within few
days without Uncle Sam spending one
penny.
This is one of the many duties per-
formed by workers in the postal serv-
ice for which no dollars -and-cents
credit is given that department.
When these workers insist on higher
wages or improved work conditions,
the table Founders declare that the
department must be operated on a
business basis" and that the income
will not permit increases.
If the post office department were a
business" institution, instead of de-
voted to social service, it would charge
the department of agriculture cou-
pie of million dollars for that pig
