This is the reason that our
members knew about the plan Of
Ralp Arnold 70 prospect the
Sweetgrass Arch, long before it
was generally known. Our mem
beers had outline maps Of the
structures MONTHS before the
development plan was known.
Our members knew the locations
Of the test wells WEEKS before
they were announced to the pub
bic. As a result Of the revela.
ton Of this information to mem
bers, we raised money enough
to buy from IS to 100 per
cent Of the mineral rights on
thousands Of acres Of lands. In
each case we turned over STU
per cent of the mineral rights
to Mr.. Arnold and his associates
and we retained the royalty.

for the information which made
It possible for us 30 buy WELL

These red ink bulletins us
ually have to do with impending

such that we MUST let our mem

a secret involving thousands Of

AS soon as an operator starts
leasing q district, we usually
learn Of il. Frequently the Oper-
tor asks US 70 assist him in tax
ing leases. At times he finds a
property that cannot be handled
without some sort of a cash pay
mient. The operator usually
takes leases for 81 and does not
pay any bonus. When some
landowner holds cut for money
or where title is with some for
eign corporation which viii do
nothing, we frequently step in,
buy the land or enough Of the
mineral rights so that we can
turn the Iease over to the oper-
atOr and we divide the royalty
among members Of the Organi-

So as the next logical step,
the reader must know his
source Of information and must
be able to UNDERSTAND what
he reads. The man who has q
map showing a buried treasure is
with nothing Of value unless be

is not a question Of deciphering

it is easy to say that one Of our

nation has a fortune within his

Dawes, Federal Banker

lhere are two distinct advantages in the Presi-
dent appointment of Charles G. Dawes as head of
the prospective United States reconstruction finance
corporation.
No one can predict how ably he viii function on
the technical side, nor precisely how much he will
accomplish in this tremendous undertaking. But he
has two obvious qualifications

to the country Second he of the financial group
which has the power to make or break, to use or
misuse, this reconstruction project
Dawes has the confidence of business men, and
his appointment doubtless will increase their con-
fdence in the reconstruction finance corporations
ability to help business conditions.
Moreover, by naming a member of the big bank
ing group to head the new organization the Presi-
dent has put the responsibility where it belongs.
1t was not adequate-partly because of the selfish
ness and Short-Sghtedness of bankers who were
not interested sufficiently in saving their embarrassed
competitors.
Certainly the country will be pulling for success

SINKING OF BRESLAU
Jan. 20

ON Jan. 20, 1918, the German
~ warship Breslau was sunk and
the battle cruiser Goeben was dam
aged in battle with British naval
forces at the entrance to the OAR
danelles in the eastern Mediter-
ranean.
The Goeben was run aground.
after being badly damaged, but it
managed to free itself and escape
into the Dardanelles.
These two ships had escaped from
Admiral Troubridge at the begin
ming of the war, and were sold to
Turkey. The Turks named the
Goeben, the Sultan Selim, and the
Breslau, the Midullu.
H. M. S. Lizard attacked the
BreSlau and the Goeben. Both re-
turned the British ships fire. The
Lizard was then joined by H. NJ. S.
Tigress. H. M. S. Raglan was heav-
lily hit, and it sank.
Steaming away, the Breslau ex-
ploded suddenly, apparently strik-
ing a mine. Two or three minutes
later there were three more expIo-
sionS. She heeled over and sank.
On seeing the Breslau sink, the
Goeben circled her once, and then
steamed of to the south.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TN spite of their mistakes we continue to expect
Il great things of men. We do not condemn the male
sex wholesale because a good many of its members
are prone to err
ness when we persist in regarding women with any
less charity?
1t may be excusable for men to show symptoms of
intolerance upon this Subject-although it is mark
of intelligence to do so-but for women constantly to
be casting aspersions upon their marks them as
mere bootlickers of men, and wholly lacking in
personal pride
We may be much less than perfect. But this does
not detract from possibilities And it is the pos
sibites Of womenkind should regard, and not the
petty shortcomings that are ours.
The greatest contribution to twentieth century
civilization is the modern woman. Whether that
contribution is good or bad must remain matter of
personal opinion
But there is question that she is new kind
Of creature, and by all odds the sole human phe-
bities or her influence is to argue ourselves dumb
indeed.
-TNHE customary assumption is that if you praise
modern woman you are criticisng modern man.
This is a wholly false deduction. Yet continue
we learn men must grow more ignorant, and as we
progress in intelligence and power they must retro
gresS.
One hears this idea on every side. And no one
hears 1t more often than the woman who dareS be-
stow a few compliments upon her kind.
Is it not logical to believe that as woman i'm
proves the race will forward? Breeders of ami
mails do not mate inferior females with pedgreed
males. 1t is only where our children are concerned
that we assume the intelligence of paternity to be
al-Suffcient
Womans purpose and work nevsR viii follow strict
" the pattern set by But suryy It borders upon
folly to preach that feminine hands should be idle
and feminine brains lie fallow.

tineI. a Scriups Howard Newspaper)


rrdce Henry R. Prewitt's rapid changes in his
orders from the bench of the Mt. Sterling circuit
court nave brought an end to the judicial proceedings
TO test his right to exclude reporters OF newspaper
whose editorial comments he did not like
Nv amending his order-barring News-S Sentinel
reporters from his courtroom for all time-to bar
them only during the trial of Harlan county felony
cases. and then through transfer Of those cases back
to Harlan county Judge Prewitt again has opened his
courtroom to this newspapers reporters. Thus, the
issue involved in the News-Sentnels appeal to Ken
tuckys highest court was made a moot question.
Judge Prewitt may contend that he did not at
tempt to avoid the issue in the NewsSentinel case.
review of the jurists extremely rapid changes of
position speaks for itself;
Dec Sole called John T. Moutoux, News-Sentinel
reporter into chambers and talked of putting him In
Jail under $1,000 bond for contempt of court
Dec s1-when Moutoux appeared represented by
able counsel the contempt procedure was dropped as
quickly as it was proposed. Later, on affidavit OF j.
B. Snyder of prosecution counsel, Moutoux was cited
to show cause why he should not be barred from the
courtroom.
Jan Judge Prewitt refused to let Jack Bryan
OF the News-sentine report proceedings in his court.
Although a hearing on whether Moutoux should be
barred was set for the following Monday, Prewitt
ruled that no News-Sentine reporter ever could sit
in any court over which he presided.
jan 4-Attorney Snyder's charges against Moutoux
were heard he was cleared of contempt, but the all
time ban against the News-Sentnel was maintained.
JAN 5-Judge Prewitt knew of News-Sentinel
preparations of appeal.
Jan. 6-Judge Prewitt ordered his decree in the
Bryan case expunged from the records Of his court
jan 1l-As preparations were being made to sub
NIT application for permanent writ of prohibition
OF Kentuckys highest court. Judge Prewitt modified
his order barring News-Sentnel reporters for all time
to par them only during the trial of Harlan county
felony cases.
JAN 1S-Judge Prewitt remanded all Harlan county
cases on his docket back to Harlan county. This
cleared his docket Of cases involved under the
amended order OF Jan. H.
Jan. l5-Judge Prewitt pleaded his own acts to the
Kentucky court of appeals TO show that nothing re-
maineo involved the News-Sentinel suit
Thus, through the judges orders his court
again is open to News-Sentnel reporters
We regret that the various amendments and
changes in the original order barring sentinel
reporters for all time make 1t impossible for the
issues frst involved in the case to be reviewed by

Rest Only Safe Remedy for Fatigue

boredom is not thet same as phys
ical fatigue.
DR.. v. M. Palmieri, French ply
sician, found that a normal amount
of activity on the part of women in
industry stimulated their metabo-
ism and increased their bodily tone,
but that overactivity brought about
fatigue with disturbances of meta
bolisn, anemia, irritability and di-
gestive disturbances, and in the
case of many women disturbances of
their feminine functions.
The only safe treatment for
fatigue and exhaustion is rest
Chronic fatigue is shown by a di-
minished amount of red coloring
matter in the blood, diminished
amount of red blood cells, and a
lowered power of the blood to over
come infectious diseases.
These obviously are serious effects
and must be guarded against in
every industry.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-01-20
DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

Perhaps one of the most impor-
tant causes of fatigue in industry is
the outside occupation and the
using of time outside of the working
place for work of a similar or even
a more difficult character.
A great many married women in
industry are confronted with this
situation.
They are concerned not only with
the eight hours of working during
the day, but with the preparation
Of breakfast for the family and the
cleaning of the house before coming
to work, and with the preparation
of dinner and numerous household
duties after return from work.
Such occupations not only bring
about added fatigue, but also in
terfere with the total amount of
sleep which is equally important.
Boredom and a feeling of tired
ness may result from a mental or
emotional attitude toward work, but

France for France

VXTHILE other nations talked
T w idealism, France took German
ships, German cattle and German
colonies, and while they rearranged
the map Of Europe for the alleged
purpose Of Iberating oppressed mi

result conformed to her diplomatic
and military ideas.
France joined the League of Ma
tons, it is true, but only after max
ing sure that she could run it. She
also participated in loans to Ger
many, but only after making sure
that the cash soon would land in
her lap.
France has permitted M BRAND

smoke screen he provided for her
