GORDON PHELPS SPEAKS
BEFORE ROTARY CLUB

Gordon Phelps, an engineer for
the Nederlandsche KoloHiale Petrol
cum Maatschappij tNetherland Co
lonial Petroleum Company a sub
sidiary of the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey, in Sumatra, spoke
before the Rotary Club last Monday
and gave a very interesting descrip-
tion of the Dutch East Indies and
the customs of the natives which in
habit them.
The Dutch East Indies of which
Sumatra is the second largest island
if superimposed on North America
would cover over two-thirds of the
continent. Sumatra is about the size
of the state of California, and Java,
the largest island of the group, is
about the size of New York state.
The population of the islands is
approximately forty million and this
is divided into three large tribes
which have their own rulers but
which are in turn ruled by the
Dutch governors. The religion of
the natives is Mohammedism. They
are a very happy-go-lucky and low
able people and are very devoted to
their employers. Uprisings are very
rare on the islands and when start
ed they are very easily quelled be-
case of the ignorance and back
wardness of the natives. They are
very satisfied to work for ten cents
a day and can live very well, in
their own way, on that amount.
They are very adept hunters and
they use only primitive spears and
arrows of their own make.
The company which Phelps works
for employs about 100 Americans,
1000 Dutch and about 1000 natives.
They have extensive oil fields on the
islands and two large refineries.
The majority of the oil that they re-
fine IS sold in England, France and
America. The Americans who work |
for them are required to take three |
weeks vacation every year and they |
must spend this vacation in the
higher attitudes of the island be-
cause where they work it is very |
hot and humid and without this va
cation in the cooler climate their |
health would be impaired. Beside
this vacation, every four years they
are given a long vacation of three
months plus travelling time to and
from America. Their travelling eX-
penses to and from America are
paid by the company. All modern
are enjoyed on the is
land. Electric lights, automobiles,
and talking pictures are OBJ
but at a much higher price
than we have to pay. The company
maintains a large club house with
free moving pictures twice a week,
swimming pools, tennis courts, and
D large golf course. Most of the
food is imported from either Amer
lea or Europe.

On December to return to Sumatra.
The trip will take little over two
They are going home by
way of Honolulu and Japan. They
came by way of Europe and Asia, so
when they arrive in Sumatra they
will have had a three months vaca-
ion in America plus trip of four
months around the world.

INDIAN SUMMER

By all the signs of the season In
dian Summer should be at hand.
The first frosts have come, the
leaves have famed with color and
most of them have fallen, and now
should come the time of middays al
most balmy, of horizons misted as
with the smoke from a thousand
campfires and of nights when the
tang of fall is tempered with re-
membrance of summer rather than
heightened by winters threat.
1t is a pleasant time of respite,
Indian Summer, when it would seem
that all the forces of nature have
reached an armistice and agreed
that mankind shall have a few days
or even weeks of perfect weather in
the open. Hunters 60 forth to the
woods and fields with confidence in
the benevolence of the elements.
Farmers can go about the last of
their autumn work without inter-
ruption. And the workaday man
knows that his lightweight topcoat
will not leave him victim to an un-
expected burst of northeast cold be-
tween dawn and dusk
1t is we'll that the roll of seasons
includes such a time of pleasant
pause. If for no other reason, it
holsters mankind's faith in the
goodness of his world and the char
ity of the elements around him. 1t
gives time for breath-takingD before
the world is plunged into winters
snowdrifts, time to enjoy to the full
lest those fruits of autumn which
have ripened under the late sum-
mer sun and been garnered from
the fields and orchards before the
first killing frost.

PECAN PRODUCTION

Texas produces from a fourth to a
half of our total pecan crop, says the
United State Department of Agri-
culture. Pecan trees are native to
the South Central States, but plant
ings of improved varieties have been
made on a large scale throughout
the east Gulf and South Atlantic
coastal plains. Nuts from improved
varieties come mostly for the South
eastern States and nuts from seed
ling and wild trees come chiefly from
states west of the Mississippi. Georg-
ia frequently produces about two
fifths of the improved varieties and
Texas and Oklahoma together usual
ly produce from two-thirds to four
fifths of the Seeding nuts. Total
pecan production in the United
States from 1927 to 1881 ranged from
35,OOO,OOO to 100000 pounds.

Better Care Is Urged
for All School. Athletes

St. Paul, Minnesota-"The football
season just past has brought great
deal to disturb as well as to rejoice
those who are interested in the wei
fare Of American students" says a
bulletin issued today from the head
quarters of the Minnesota State Med
ical association.
Some of the casualties, of which
there was shocking number this
year, were not due to scrimmage.
They were due to neglect on the part
of the authorities of a proper physl-
cal examination for the players.
"Some of the saddest of the VIC
TINS of this years brilliant football
games were those whose fine physi-
que and skill hid disability as
serious as broken bone. These boys
played brilliant ball-and retired
from the football field to the sanator-
ium, removed for months or years and
perhaps for life from any normal
participation in the affairs of their
kind"
Better, more thorough physical
examinations for all students but
particularly for those who are going
out for strenuous outdoor sports, y
urged in this bulletin.

house, several would-be robbers pro-

urday night, broke window, and be-

Neither did they take anything
from the safe. They hammered and
dug at the combination for no one
knows how long and until it was in
bad shape, then left. There was
nothing in the way of money tin the
safe, but if they hat tried turning the
handle, they would have found that it
wasn't even locked!
