No matter what the motives,
originally, and no matter what
the cause of the restoration of
these oil and gas rights to the
American people, it has been
done, and all is quite well, If
not entirely well, in the opinion
of all the operators, whom we
have talked. Some see a hook in
the unit plan of operation, but
until the Standard groups In
vest q little more heavily in
Montana their domination
under the unit plan win
not be felt as it has been
on Kettleman Hills. as an ex-
ample. Here in Montana, the
dominant operator on a struc-
ture is assured Of the reason
able cooperation Of permit own
ers on that structure, eliminat-
ing the effectiveness Of cut
threats who in the olden DAYS
never invested 2 dime beyond
the filing fees and then sat
back and demanded their pound
of blood. A lot Of development
was delayed by this factor in
government permits-something
that Senator Walsh probably
did not contemplate when he
sponsored the unit operation
bin. This modification is accor-
dinghy a tremendous advanta-
geous move in favor of the le-
climate operator as against
the lease jumpers.

time went on, devious ways
were worked out whereby some
certain operators were able to
get along.
At no time could the admins

concrete thing which might be
interpreted as conclusive that
the Hoover order had done any
good for the oil industry in the
Rocky Mountain regiOh. But on
the other side of the ledger was
the spirited animosity that went
back into the mountain fast
nesses where dry land farm
ers tried to exc out an existence
until such time as a new adj
ministrati0n could be elected in
the hope that key lands on pos
sible oil structures might be
opened to oil and gas prospec-
ting, giving these dry landers
new hopes and new lease on

Your Heath and Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

Children coming to America
from Southern Europe were OBJ
served several years ago by
Cross to have fine teeth, al
though most of them "did not
know what a toothbrush looked
like until they entered Ameri-
can schools"
The finest natural teeth in
the world belong to ESkimos,
negroes, American Indians and
Southern Europeans. This in
their native habitats. After liv-
ing in America or under condi-
tions of civilization anywhere
for a time, a change is found.
J. A. Murphy found in a study
of school children in Washing
ton from 1916 to 1923 that
there was a somewhat greater
incidence of dental decay among
the colored children than among
the white.
A Great Problem
Why? Dental and medical
science began to ask that ques-
ton some years ago. The In
dianS said that they had OBJ
served the bad teeth in white
men and concluded "they were
destroyed by the number of Lies
passing over them" However,
science did not stop at that.
We considered yesterday the
local effect of food remnants on
the teeth in the mouth, the pro-
duction of acid in the mouth
from their presence and its &C.
ton in tooth decay. 1t was
evident from the fact that per-
feet teeth were found in people
who had never used tooth
brushes that this was not the
only factor. We must still be-
lieve it is an important one, at
least so per cent, and are not
yet prepared to cast the tooth
brush aside.

But the quality of the blood
is equally important in prevent
ing tooth decay. The chemical

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. BEECKMAN
Bridge Party Hostess
ear Mrs. Reeckman:

Lear MIS- 6eeCkuldn.
A young man friend of mine
has asked me to be hostess at
a bridge party, which he wishes
to give for a group of young
married people. He is board
ing away from home, in pri-
vate home.
I do not know what my
duties should be. Must I plan
the refreshments and provide
card table, covers and so
forth? Or is it my duty only
to receive the guests that eve
ming? Is it necessary or proper
for me to play? Should the
host also play? READER.
I'd be ready, if I were you,
and I know you will be willing,
to do anything that will con-
tribute to the success of the
party. I like the spirit of this
friend of yours to plan to be a
host to his friends, under cir
cumstanCeS that are not the
easiest in the world. And I
am sure that he will find great
comfort and social support in
your cooperation.
Talk over with him his plans
for the party, and, with your
Woman'S intuition about what
is necessary for parties, see how
many things you can help him
with. He'd even welcome a list
of those things, I am sure.
Make. too, some interesting sug-
gestions about the refreshments
he will certainly bless you
for this, for, as we all know,
this plan is one of the most diff
ficult things about giving such
a party-probably the most
difficult thing. Your plan for
supplying the table covers is a
good one. and I am sure that
he will want this.
Then, on the evening of the
party, go early and see if there
are any last-minute preparations
with which you can help.
Have everything so thoroughly
ready before the party that
there will be no reason why
both you and the host won't be
able to play bridge with the
guests. That's more fun.

A finesse is an attempt to
win a trick with a card lower
than the highest one that
opposes you. For example,
suppose that you hold in one
hand the 40, with the XII
unplaced. If you lead towards
the 40, and play the @, you
are taking single finesse,
because only one card higher
than the @ opposes you. If
you lead up to the A-Q-10,
with the XII both opposing
you, and attempt to win with
the 10, you are taking a dou-
BILE finesse, because two cards
higher than the 10 oppose
you. If you require only two
tricks in a suit to accomplish
your purpose, naturally you
take a single finesse, but in
case more than two tricks
are required in a suit, you
may be obliged to take a dou-
BILE finesSe. The hand shown
below illustrates a case where
two double illnesses had to be
taken.

Whereof the stardust is the
