Womsn's Universal Alliance Holds
Final Session-Delegates to
Visit Mount Vernon.

The Woman's Universal Alliance
held it's final business session of the
second conference on world welfare
work this morning at the Carlton
Hotel. Many of the delegates left on
pilgrimage to Mount Vernon early this
afternoon.
A religious pageant was on the pro-
gram last night, preceded by lectures
on the famous Chalice Of Antioch by
Fahim Kouchakti of Aleppo. Syria,
whose family owns the chalice, and
DR.. David f. Mitchell, former presi-
dent of Cumberland University, Tenn,
who gave a historical sketch of the
sacred object.
Mr.. Kouchakii gave an intimate ac-
count of how the famed chalice OF
Antioch, thought to be the Holy Grail,
came into his possession. and he Illus
trated his remarks with rare pictures
Of the cup, showing hundreds of in
tricate and beautifully executed carv-
ings. The cup itself, thought to be
the cup of the last supper. is of plain
design, but is contained in recep-
tacle which is designed in a manner
considered by artists to be impossible
of duplication.
Mr.. Kauchakji said that the chalice
of Antioch is now in a vault in a New
York bank, but that it is planned to
eventually perfect arrangements so
that it can be placed on permanent
exhibition, that it may be constant
inspiration TO thousands Of persons.
Capt. c. C. Calhoun outlined the
purposes of the proposed mothers
memorial which the alliance plans to
erect here. stating that 1t will stand as
a tribute to universal motherhood.

MEXICO SUFFERS
IN OIL WRANGLE
Suspension of Activities Has
Cut Revenues Seriously.
Other Fields Aided.
BY J. c. ROYLE.

NEW YORK. January 21.-The
sound policy of looking ahead and of
working ahead has discounted most
OF the disastrous effects that might
obtain for the petroleum industry
through any untoward development in
the Mexican situation. In fact. the
moves on the Gales administration to
coerce the American oil companies al
ready have had a back lash, which
has removed considerable financial
cuticle from the Mexican treasury.
Every soundly managed oil COM
pany looks not only to immediate
production and profits from territory
already developed, but to development
OF new supplies. Instead of doing
new development work in Mexico ter
ritory, many of the oil companies in
terested there have gone to other
Latin American countries, where less
governmental antagonism has been
encountered. AS a result, Mexican
oil production has fallen off to a
marked degree and with it the Mexi-
can treasury receipts, which are boil
stored up by the export tax on petro-
ieum.
Venezuela Shows Gain.
Venezuela has made a correspond.
ing gain. Even Pan American Pc
troleum. heavily interested as it Is in
Mexico, is devoting strenuous efforts
to developing oil supplies in the Mara
Caibo basin. Other members of the
so-called Standard Oil group are
active there. Holdings of American
concerns in the Mexican oil fields
are heavy and their absolute loss
would be a severe blow; but In the
meantime the Mexican imbroglio has
materially strengthened the tech
nical position of the American pc
troleum industry

Original proposals to license medical

from new cults which have not won

right to certify pure nlilk-or capable

that banking is based not only on
facts, but on "surmise''-opinions con

The first we'll ever drilled, in 1859,

will see wells 10000 feet in depth.

none of the advantages of this kind of
exploration. Exports have naturally

for the first time in years at this sea-

absorbed Sharp seasonal declines in
consumption no longer are expert
enced during the cold-weather months,
and consequently stocks are not likely
to pile up until they threaten to top
pie over on the price structure. Pro-
duction in 1926 set a new record. but
stocks are smaller now than year
ago.
Sharp increases in production
scarcely are to be anticipated in the
immediate future. although drilling is
more active than in long time. The
largest 1926 increases were in the
Seminole field of Oklahoma and in the
Huntington Beach field of California.
Some experts expect the Seminole
production to advance no further,
while no rapid gains are anticipated
in the southern California area.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Selling Yourself to subordinates

American industry today is looking
for leaders, not drivers.
The newer purpose of management
is to stir the creative interest OF
workers; not merely to wed them to
their work through fear of being
fired.
AS Alfred z. Sloan, ir, president of
the General Motors Corporation, re
Gently said.
THE president of company may
have the right to fire any man out of
his organization, but if he is wise he
will sell the man rather than fire him.
To attain the fullest measure of sue
cess for his company an executive
must sell himself and his ideas TO his
associates"
There is art in giving orders. The
real leader will give them in a manner
which will stir the energies and win
the loyal support of workers. The
bungling foreman will offend in giving
similar instruction.
Cultivating I'VE" Spirit.
Glenn l.. Gardiner. personnel spe-
cialist, writing in Industrial Psychol-
ogy. urges the cultivation of the
I'VE" spirit.
He takes the following leaf from
actual experience and cites it as d
gOOd example OIL now 10 ildnulS men,
Abe Miller was foreman and Joe
Crane head millwright in a factory.
Abe called his men together.

it. What do you fellows think?

The foreman shrewdly gave every
man a, sense of participation. If he
had merely issued orders in the usual
way for overtime work he would not
have really interested the men in the
special job.
Wise employment managers are per-
ceiving the value of recognizing that
each worker is a human being, not a
mere hand.
