THE WORLD TODAY
by ARTHUR BRISBANE
A DANGEROUS EMBARGO.
FOUR THINGS YOU NEED.
A BIG COPPER MINE.

interest for the moment here Standard Oil of Cal
ifornias cut of cents, made to meet cratic price
cutting, will be followed by deeper cuts by other
companies. The oil situation is bad, and elirni
nation process will gradually weed out weaker
sisters. Then consumers that have been buying
gas too cheap will even up matters by paying too
much.
The Anticipated Sherman act preventing common
sense business arrangements makes conditions
worse. Some American companies demand
barge ON oil from foreign countries. Powerful
companies that own inexhaustibe subterranean
lakes of oi in Venezuela and elsewhere oppose the
embargo.
They want to bring in their cheap foreign oil
They are protecting this country's interests per-
haps without knowing caring. An embargo
would hasten the exhaustion of American wells
putting consumers and the mother industry at the
mercy of foreign well owners. What that would
mean the country learned when Britain controlled
rubber regulated the price.
If you have four things, intelligence energy
money and interest in the welfare of Others you
do good work.
Mrs. Greenway, of Tucson, Arz- has the four

Grafton in perfect climate That did much good
Then she built and is running Tucson hotel, made
up of separate bungalows all furniture made by the
service men, and all for sale to guests. Just at
present the place is packed, but try go there any
how, if you go to Tucson. If you do not go you
make big mistake.
Such woman Mrs. Greenway, finding a way
to help men injured in their countrys service work
ing hard, with profit and little thanks for her
self, should be at least praised. Mr.. Pepper

music in your life."

If you copper stocks, you are engaged by
proxy in an interesting, changing business and
might learn about it by visiting the Cananea Cop
per mine, little south of the Mexican border near
Douglas, Ariz. That mine had stock selling at So
a share Copper running high 40 per cent
was found and the stock jumped to 5000 share
Now the Anaconda Copper company owns it.
Cananea in normal times pays the Southern Pa
cifc railroad a freight bill of 81 100000 year. Mr..
Wede, manager of the mine, blue eyed American
from the Michigan School of Mines, with his fore
head leaning out above his eyes, learned the real
business working in a niue after graduating. He
continues learning the business by running of
the greatest mines earth.
Ainless speculation and fruitless effort often
lead to scientific accomplishment. Chemistry is the
successor to ancient alchemy, seeking to change in
ferior metals to gold And now the old divining rod
with credulity it's only asset, may be replaced by
'rod" that really locates what you seek.
A needle called the Hotchkill super dip, describ-
ed before the American Institute of Mining and
Metaurgical Engineers takes advantage of the fact
that certain deposits disturb the earhs normal mag
netic lines. In the hands of prospector, knowing
geology, that divning rod is expected to reveal
deposits Of gold and other precious substances You
are not advised to invest in any such continuance
just yet, but you might speculate this: What
would be the effect the worlds gold standard
tons it became suddenly possible to multiply the
gold supply by ten or thousand, at little cost?
Scientists say typhus fever is spread by feas
that bite rats then humans. Recalling that Rocky
Mountain fever, spread by ticks, conquered by
tickuice incubation" the scientists suggest that
similar remedy for typhus may be made of the rat
biting flea Ground-up aeas medicine would
not be pleasing.
Human beings and their governments should
have the energy to eliminate rats Then f1eas could
not bite them. Similarly, they should wipe out
crocodiles that supply the death germs of sleeping
sickness to the tsetse dy.
Impossible? Suppose each rat contained gold
dollar and each crocodile $40 BILL how long would
they last?

the legs of her women starts competition for "the
most beautiful pair of legs in all Turkey"
