 The new legislative bill appar ently was intended to prevent q recurrence of tho mistrial which resulted from charges of Mrs Tha- lia Fortescue Massie,- wife of an American navy ofiicer, that five is- flanders brutally attacked her. AL though four of the defendants will be retried soon, another hung jury would free them.
 Selection of a jury to try Young on charges of attacking 17 year old Bernice Lum, Chinese school girl, was impeded by racial antl- pathies and the reluctance of veniremen to serve.
 An entire panel was exhausted the first day of trial.
 In questioning veniremen, Jo- seph Esposito, defense counsel formerly of New Haven, Conn, con- tinually referred to alleged pre- judicial statements of Police Chief Weber after Young's arrest-- What this town needs Is Q good necktie party"
 Espjosito also clashed recently with Mrs Kleugel, head of the Cit- izens' Good Government league. The attorney tried to prevent a league meeting to discuss the Young case.
 Mrs Kleugel also instituted the pardon petitions which will be pre- sented to Governor Judd.

 The estate is valued at about $50.000. Some of the beneflciaries live in Scotland and 1t appears those abroad suffered some on ac- count of the making of the second will, hence the sharp contest over which will would be admitted.

cleaned up, for the most part.
The first of the present year
found the oil industry produc-
ing less oil than the average
daily demand. It's stocks of
stored gasoline have been used
up, likewise stored crude, for
the most part. The FLUSH"
fields of the country are no
longer a menace. The indus
try is sufficiently controlled"
to prevent the likelihood Of a
sudden flood of over-produc-
ton. What part of Ameu-
can industry has a sounded
background and a more prom
ising future?
The sale of gasoline showed
an INCREASE last year.
Industry is slowly moving
back into action. Each
wheel that turns calls for more
oil. Each workman called
back to work burns up more
gasoline. The oil industry is
emerging from the crisis on
a sounder foundation than
ever. The oil industry will
not PULL American business
out of dependency but will
LEAD and is leading in the
return to prosperity. Those
foresighted individuals who
are participants are due to
make the great fortunes of
the future. Then there will

LAST OCLODST saw the
turn" in American business.
That does not mean that
times have been getting better
ever since October of last year.
There had to be ups and
downs and a lot more downs"
than ups, to readjust things
so that a new normally could
be established. But the actual
turn" was recorded in Oc-
other in the industry that
marked the turn" of the de-
cline-the oil industry.
This is a preface to simp-
ly calling attention to the items
here and there in the daily
news regarding readjustnent
of the price structure of the
oil industry. The price of
crude rs slowly advancing to
a place where the production
of oil is profitable. The price
of gasoline is adjusting to the
new price of crude. The
price of gasoline will not get
out of step with the price of
other commodities, as long as
the independent industry OBJ
tains in America, as against a
monopoly like that which exists
in the British Empire. But
the price of gasoline is steadily
mounting to the place where
refiners and marketers can
make a fair profit.
1t is interesting to glance
back at the events since last
October to see how the wheat
has been sifted out, leaving
the chaff. The putrid smell
of the old stock market still
penetrates the atmosphere of
WA ehed oft If American buSi-
ness. 1t is nothing new. Her

We are back to the days
when there was an outfit try
ing to sell stock in a telephone
company. That was in 1879.
The Stock.was used very much
as was the stock of KalispelI-
Kelvin in early days. The
promoters used it to pay debts,
where possible. It sold at 10
cents a share. The counsel
of the company declined to
take his $1,000 fee in stock at
10 cents a share, preferring
the cash. The $1,000 cash
would equal $4,000 shares at
10 cents. This stock became
worth $1,000 per share in
later years and the smart
attorney who doubtless put
his money in the bank at 4
per cent passed up $60,0O0,000
the ultimate value of that
stock.

Mr.. Woodward conclud-
ed that good health is the
thing that keeps a man alive
and good health will revive
business. Senator Norbeck
is the Colonel Goethals of
American business today. He
is cleaning up the health men
ace, the nlalarial swamps of
business by his sweeping Wall
Street investigation. The day
is past when good, going
business concern can be taken
over by a group of Wall
Street hoodlurns, recapitalized
at three times its true worth
and issue its watered securi-
ties to a foolish public which
win accept the past dividend
record as a portrayal of its
future earnings. The people
have quit Wan Street, so that
great gambling institution is
no longer the Barometer" of
American business. There
win perhaps be still fewer
patrons for Wall Street when
this congressional investiga-
ton is completed.
With the Wall Street
racketeerS out of business, the
American public will return
to the serious business of max
ing money out Of the natural
resources of this, the richest
land in the civilized world.
That means the business of
wrestling NEW wealth from
the soil will resume. That
means going back to mining
and farming and drilling. It
has set men to working
working with both hands and
