Mlburn grunted. He was not an
unkindly man, merely ofiicio,ls and self
opinionated. He waved his wife aside
(nearly dropping a perfectly good mush-
room off his forgotten fork as he did
so), indicating he allowed the matter
to drop.
Both glanced at the photograph of
a lovely girl in running dress on the

Mrs Milburn again glanced Shyly at

was very wonderful. She could not
help hoping the prize might be ncrs.
Her little round face was young for
such snowy woman. but it was a
family characteristic and her daughter
already bore a snowy lock in her dark
brown bob.
The day of the contest dawned bright
with little raindrops topping the rhndo-
dendrou trees after night shower. Mrs.
Milburn ventured to indulge in unwont-

herself in a little georgette sheath Of
pink with lilac chiffon. She had made
it herself but it bore the air of impor-

piled her hair on top of her head and

loneliness. Her little face was pink with

NAVY WILL PROBE
RESERVE OIL SALE
Wilbur Hears Petroleum
From U. S. Land Is Going
to Foreign Company.

Investigation of the reported iispo-
sition of oil from the naval oil re.
serves to foreign corporations has been
ordered by Secretary Wilbur of the
Navy Department. He has named a
board of three admirals to study the
situation, particularly with the idea OF
determining whether any additional
legislation is needed.
The board is composed of Rear Ad.
miral II. II. Rousseau, head of the
Nays oil service, who reported that
the Honolulu Consolidated Oil Co. is
selling oil from the naval oil reserves
TO the Royal Dutch Shell Co. a British
corporation: Rear Admiral John Halli-
gan. chief of the Bureau of Engineering.
and Rear Admiral E. H. Campbell,
Judge advocate general Of the Navy.
Organized i'm California.
Secretary Wilbur said that the Homo
lulu Consolidated Oil Co. was organized
in California and was one of the first
companies 10 develop oil in the Midway
field. They had litigation with the
Government as TO whether the mining
locations upon which they were operat-
ing and which they had taken were
obtained by fraud. During the litiga-
tion receivers were appointed and con-
Lnued 10 operate the property
That litigation was finally settled by
the surrender of the claims of the
Honolulu company TO the fee title to
some OF the lands taking in lieu there
OF leaseholds from which they yield to
the government a portion Of the oil on
the property as royalties.
Leases Were Confirmed.
The leases were confirmed by the
courts, he continued, and he knew
nothing about the relations of the
Honolulu company TO the other COM
panies, except what he called attention
TO in connection with the proposed in
vestigation, namely. the report that
they are selling the products of the
naval reserve and also the royalty Oil
which they are now purchasing from
the Government 10 the Shell Oil Co.
He pointed out that there is some
legislation in connection with the leas-
ing OF oil lands outside the reserves
which prohibits the making of leases or
permits to foreign corporations 1t has
been suggested. he said, that the same
provisions should be applied to naval
reserves and that is one OF the questions
which he desired to have the board
study, as well as the provision that
none Of the products from these re-
serves be sold TO foreign corporation
