year recess, il an effort 10

in an oil deal consummated
At the time the naval ell
serves were privately leased.
$3.50 800 Traced
The fund represents the profits
Of the Continental Trading Co., Of
Canada, created by Harry F. Sim
clair and other Western oil men.
1T assumed significance when
1920, 500 in liberty bonds was
traced to the banking account of
former Seer ,tary Of the Interior
Albert B. Fall. The new inquiry
was undertaken to learn whether
other Government officials shared
in the rrofits."
Walsh Back on Job
Senator Thomas j. Walsh CD of
Montana, resumed his role of .oil
prosecutor to handle the inquiry.
He announced that M. T. Everhart,
son.In.law OF Fall, would be the
first witness. Everhart was shown
to have deposited the Liberty Bonds
to Falls credit in Western bank.
Government agents meanwhile
were reported tracing other Lib
city bonds bought with funds of the
Continental Company. Three New
York bankers were subpoenaed in
this connection. apparently in an
attempt to learn the number OF all
bonds bought with the Continental
Company's funds.
Sinclair himself was summoned to
today's session. He was to be the
second witness. There were indica-
lions that both Everhart and Sin
clair would refuse to testify.
Martin w. Littletun, chief at
torney for Sinclair in the Teapot
Dome oil trials, characterized the
new Senate inquiry as outrageous
persecution" of his client.
''OutrageOus" He Says
while this man is on trial in
the courts OF the land, said Lit
Teton. lit is outrageous to bring
him before a Senate committee.
where no rules of law are observed,
in an effort to get information,
which wouldn't be gotten in a
court"
The resumption of the Teapot
Dome inquiry recalled the part
played by the Senate committee,
under Walsh's guidance, in the So
called "oil scandals"
The original inquiry, begun In
1928 and continued into 1924, re-
vealed such facts that the Govern
ment brought suit to recover the oil
fields from Sinclair and T.. l..
Doheny. Since then property, valued
at 800 900 900, was returned to the
Governments keeping, while Doheny,
Sinclair and Fall were indicted for
conspiracy to defraud the Govern.
ment. Doheny and Fall were &C.
quilted while Sinclair and Fall got
mistrial They will be tried again.
The first revelation of the Liberty
bond deal. involving the Continental
Company, was unearthed by special
Government counsel. This company
was organized by Sinclair. Col
Robert Stewart. H. M. Blackmer and
James E. O'Neil, all Western oil men,
to buy oil at $3.50 a barrel and sell
1T to Sinclair company for SITS.
The company made $4,000, 900 in
profits before finally selling it's con-
tract to it's customer, the Sinclair
Crude Oil Purchasing Company
Since the Government investigated
the deal, Blackmer and O'Neil fled
to Europe, while Henry Smith Osler,
president of the Continental, fled to
Africa.
The committee met at 10 o'clock
but adjourned until O'Clock, so
that Walsh could attend hear

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

no You ever take the trouble to
~ inquire how the cows from
which your milk Is derived are
kept? Or do you just accept the
milk as delivered and give It to
your baby without a thought?
You cant expect to have pure
milk from diseased cows or clean
milk from filthy cows. You
therefore can't expect milk that
comes from diseased or filthy
sources to be wholesome for food
purposes. The whole question Of
clean and decent milk is, conse-
quentIy, in the first instance, one
of the care of the cows that give
the milk.
The proper environment for
cattle is an open and wide field,
and not the eight hundred cubic
feet of air space which each cow
is supposed to get in the shed,
and which 1t often does not get.
say this because the now usual
municipal orders concerning
space, light and ventilation are
easily eVaded and anyway are or
very little use.
1t is only through open-air life
and healthier working conditions
that tuberculosis is being con-
ouered among human beings.
ONLY these measures will drive it
away from cattle.
The cowshed is the breeding
place of germs, the open air is
their mortuary.
BY open air pasturing the labors
OF the dairy workers would he
greatly diminished. Since there
would be no cowsheds to clean
and no grooming necessary. and
sincce much less fodder would
have to be provided, all they
would have to do would be to
wash the udders and milk the
cows.
Besides this, the absence of
dirty work would make the work
ers more cleanly IN their persons.
Although it cannot be denied that
an occasional case of tuberculosis
is found even in cattle kept en-
tirely out of doors, the disease
would disappear in a. few years IL
tuDefCulOuS CdLIlS were pESNShlSO
from breeding.
According to Robertson, an Eng
Iish writer in Liverpool during
1924, As per cent of the cows
slaughtered showed signs of tu-
berculosis. OF bulls Only per
cent were affected, OF heifers only
SIS per cent, and of Calves only
per cent. The reason he assigns
for this discrepancy is that cows
are kept indoors while the others
live in the open.
1t is not true. we are reliably
informed, that Stalled cows give
more milk than those kept in the
fields. In the cowsheds OF Liver
pool according to this same
authority, the average yield Is
two gallons per day; in Hamp-
shire, where cows live almost en-
tirely in the open, the yield is
from two to four gallons, and
Guernsey cows give from two to
two and a half gallons; even ii
Stalled cows gave more, their
milk could not compare in quality
with that of pastured cows.
There is no comparison, more
over, between the cost OF pro-
ducinK milk from open-air cows
and from Stalled cows. which
have to be cleaned, fed and at
tended in addition to vie rents
and upkeep Of the stalls.
