ROANOKE, Va. Nov. 22-Jazz is an enemy of national music, believes Mrs. John P. Buchanan. president of the Virginia Federl- ton of Music Clubs and chairman of the home music department of the National Federation.
 In fact, she asserts that Ameri- ea's folk songs. including Indian music and negro spirituals, are in danger of being engulfed in the tidal wave of jazz that has swept over the country
 America really is q country without national music, she says. contrasting with Germany, Hun gary, France and other nations which have built up characteristic national music from their home and folk ballads.

Just the moment you apply Mentho-Sulphur to an itching, burning or broken out skin. the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream. gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take it's place. H
 Because of it's erm-destroying properties, it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leav- ing a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness. W

"Then there was quite some talk
about drainage?" asked Leahy.
THAT was the purpose of the con-
ference" DR.. Smith said.
Asked if he had given definite in
structions to Heald with regard to the
report he should make, DIR. smith
replied emphatically. Certainly not.
Didn't you explain to him that Fall
was anxious to know about the drain
age" the witness was asked.
II explained that the subject OF
drainage was the reason for making
the study" the witness answered
DIR. Smith testified that he did mot
examine Heald's report with view
to looking for possible errors, that he
simply received it, read it with in

Heald Takes Stand.
Heald, now employed as staff
eeologist with the Gulf Oil Co, Of
Pittsburgh, then took the stand, lie
stated that he was a geologist in the
geological survey, after which he he
came an associate professor at Yale
University. In answer to Roberts
questions, he testified that early in
November, 1921, he was called to DIR.
Smiths office and requested to do
some work on Teapot Dome, which re
subsequently did On return to
Washington, he reported to DR.. Smith,
who then took him to Falls office.
where he made an oral report to the
Secretary, which later was reduced TO
writing. Here Roberts direct OK
animation ended and the witness was
turned over to Littleton.
Littleton had the witness review
his past experience in geological
work, which Heald said began III 1909
and brought HIM up to the point
where he was, asked to make an in-
vestigation of the accuracy of a re-
port by c. II. Waggeman. who laid
out Teapot Dome originally in 1915,
and who, in September, 1921, left the
Government service.
In the Cross-eXamination it devel-
oped that Waggeman had made three
reports on the location of the
saddle" of the reserve, which con-
cerned the area in danger of drainage
by private wells on the border of the
reserve.
Heald in reply to Littleton's ques-
tions, said he checked the reports,
went to the property in Wyoming and
found Waggeman's relocation of the
saddle as embodied in the third re-
port was correct He agreed with
Waggeman that the relocation had
been drawn down one-half to three
quarters of a mile further into the
reserve.
Littleton produced Heald's testimony
in the civil suit, which quoted him
as saying "A little less than a mile"

for an hour.
mo" was Heald's reply.
"You told him that about the Wag-
ceman report, that he was right in
regard to the change in the saddle?'
The witness replied, mo.
Then the defense attorney asked
him If he did not say his own report
was based merely on hearsay. mo, "
replied the witness.
''You went out there to investigate
the veracity of another man. Little
ton asked. yes the witness replied,
Further questioning along this line
did not seem to clear the witness
memory. so Littleton read from the
record to show that Heald had said
he had gone out to the field at one
particular place to question the
veracity of Waggeman.
Cross Examination Ends.
Cross s-examinat tion by defense coun-
sol of Edward c. Finney, star Govern
ment witness, concluded before adj
j0urnment of court yesterday after
noon. Finney, however. is to be re-
called later during the trial, for
Hoover is anxious to obtain from him
the answer relating to policy in the
administration OF the leases, which
Fall attempted so dramatically to per
suade the court to permit the witness
to state.

sion, but did not succeed In bringing
out any new evidence except as to
Falls own familiarity with the gen
eral leasing act, In his final question
ing he brought out the fact that the
Teapot Dome lease was under discus

the cross examination was ended.

Roberts shouted With the permis-
sion of the court Littleton proceeded
To fire a volley Of questions at the
witness. hut in the courts opinion he
was entirely out of bounds.
"How long were you on the ground"
Littleton asked.
Roberts Immediately objected. The
court sustained him.
You said a minute ago YOU were
on the ground an hour, Littleton
fired back.
Again the objection was sustained.
The scene was intensely amusing
TO the jury as we'll as to the specta-
tors. The courtroom was almost in a
turmoil. LittletOn would fire ques-
tons with the rapidity Of machine
gun. Roberts would object. The
court would sustain him and Little
ton would note an exception to the
ruling.
For a few moments the courtroom
rang with the statements: Object.
Sustained. Exception.
Finally Littleton said he did not
mean to offend the court by his "bul-
Ittlike" questions and exceptions. and
the court smilingly replied there was
no offense.
In rapid succession the defense at
torney fired these questions:
"Was there snow on the ground?
How much snow? Was any one with
YOU? Where were you staying?
Were you ever in Caspar? Who did
YOU see in Caspar?" All these ques-
tons the witness was not allowed to

Roberts then submitted as evidence
a copy of the Head report merely
to show, he said. what was presented
to Secretary Fall at that time.
This report simply bore out Heald' S
oral statement as to there being no
imminent danger of drainage In the
field. It noted that the previous study
made must be modified because of
the absence of the saddle between
the Salt Creek and Teapot Dome re-

Drainage in the reserve would he
exceedingly slow. the report stated,
and along the northwestern border
there would be presumably some
drainage, but the report stated 1t
would not ultimately be drained. At
the present rate, at that time, it
was concluded that a year must
elapse before any considerable drain
age could be noted.
Roberts then turned the witness
over to Hoover for crOsS-eXaminatiOn
The defense attorney again brought
M the question of the Waggeman re-
port, which it seems was on file in
the Geological Survey.
He asked DR.. Smith if Fall had not
discussed the possibility of drainage
in the Teapot Dome reserve. Smith
replied that Fall wanted to have a
further study made of the situation.
The witness brought out that Wagge-
man had made the first study of the
Salt Creek and Teapot fields. and for
the benefit of the jury and the court
explained that the term saddle was
intended to describe the low point be-
tween the two domes, 'much the same
as the lowest point in a Western
saddle" he said.
The effect of the change noted in
Smith testified, simply indicated that
the area in the reserve outside of Tea
not Dome was larger than was antic-
mated when the boundary first was
drawn.
That's all I know about the Wag.
geman report" he said.
William r. Leahy then cross-exam-
ined the witness on behalf Of Mr.
Fall DR.. Smith explained that he
had no recollection Of Fall discussing

mony. However, today. he said he

Argument Over Report.
Heald spent about one hour on Tea
pot Dome during his investigation, he
said,

ing wasn't it?" asked Littleton.
Roberts jumped to his feet with an
objection, declaring he merely offered
the witness to prove that a report
had been made and he cared nothing
about the truth or accuracy of it at
! this time. 1t was offered to show that
an official under Fall did report to him
after he had been requested to make
| an investigation.
Then followed much argument on
the part of the defense. in which
Hoover and Leahy Joined, evidencing
much bitterness. Their claim was
that the Government intended to show
| by the witness that because Fall did
not accept the report he was subject
to indictment for bad faith. The de-
fenSe admitted that it wanted to tear
down the report if possible and de-
cIarcd that Roberts assertion that he
cared nothing for the accuracy of it
| at this time made it immaterial
Whereupon both Fall and Sinclair
JoiQed in motion to have the report
stricken out unless they could cross
examine the witness on it.
Justice Siddons reviewed the con.
tention offered by Roberts, and added
he, presumed I'VE shall hear lots Of
+, evidence on this point later" He sus.
tanned the objection and overruled the
motion Of the defense.
Smith Testimony Attacked.
Hoover next moved to strike out
the testimony of DR.. Smith with re-
gard TO the Fall conference on the
report of the Seologist Heald. But
the court OverruIed the motion.
