see football games between their

getting the American spirit musi- cally and every other way.
 Hast year l went abroad and for the first time appreciated how American I had become. The bands in Berlin were still playing Ger man music, although the compost tions were American tunes. The bands in France were playing French music and there the com positions were also American fox trots, and so it was in each coun- try. I realized then how much our music was really a part of this great country, and that no one but an American can interpret it.
 "Often hear disparaging state ments about our music, but it has versatility and distinctness, and is so much the soul of the people that I think it will live forever. True, a great number of our songs will pass out of the picture, and this is mainly because our pro- duction is greater than the rest of the world put together, but many of them, such as Song Of The Bayou will last as long as there is music"

OIL WELL IS NOW DOWN AT
 GREAT DEPTH

SIGNAL HILL, Cal, Jan. 25.-- Man may never drill hole entirely through the earth, but the Shell Oil company is making a good start with an oil well.
 The well is Mesa No. II on the very crest of Signal Hill. It se- scends 9,280 feet.
 Shell officials say that deepen ing of the well was more or less of an experiment to determine how far down oil may be discovered.
 Drilling has been suspended tenn porarily, for the condition of the oil industry is such, Shell officials hold, that it is inadyisable to make any new discoveries which might result in increased production
 Some day Mesa No. Il will be deepened.
 Drillers of the well found their greatest difficulty in shutting out water, which seriously interfered with the work.
 So far the company has spent $2OO0oO deepening the hole. Deep holes do not go vertically, but zig gag on their downward course.
 The shaft of this well has never been surveyed, so the officials do not know just how much the hole does wander from the straight and narrow.
