Yukon Oil company's Kruger

Bank OIL field was this week
abandoned after having drilled
to the top OF the Madison lime.

Other operators had hoped
that the Yukon would test the
first "break in the lime. The
Twin River discovery well, on
the Alberta side Of the border,
Is getting its oil from a break
80 feet in the Madison.
The Yukon-Kruger had no oil
and no gas although 1t is only
$40 feet north OF the discovery
we'll The only explanation for
its failure. operators say, is
coulee which runs from north
east to southwest. between the
two wells. 1t is deep enough
In places for the construction Of
reservoirs but a short distance

form a very slight typographical

that this couIee is the surface

reason why oil and gas should
not migrate $50 feet through a

at both wells. biologists say.

Golfer Caused by insufficient Iodine

ages of IL and IS. This is the type
associated with the deficiency of
iodine in the diet
If the condition is recognized
early and treated by small amounts
of iodine the enlargement is seldom
great or permanent. The condition
may be prevented by making GER
tain that the child has a sufficient
amount of iodine in its diet.
This is particularly important in
the northwestern portions of the
United States and in the Great
Lakes area, where it has been well
established that the water and the
soil are deficient in iodine. The
state of South Carolina is known
as the Iodine state" because it
probably has the greatest amount
Of iodine in its soil.
If the gland becomes much en-
larged due to a deficiency of iodine
and the enlargement is permanent,
there is no way to control it ex-
cept to remove the excessive tissues.
The chief reason for the operation
is the removal Of the unsightly
mass and the prevention of pres
sure on the nerves, blood vessels and
other tissues of the throat.

ANOTHER ALIBI

WITH President Roosevelt and the Re-
w construction Finance Corporation appeal
ing to the American Bankers Association for
better cooperation in extending private credit
for industrial recovery, some bankers seem
more intent on destroying the New Deals
mild banking reforms. Among other things,
they have started a drive to modify the new
Truth-in-Securities law. Modify in this case
means to destroy, because the banking group
succeeded in modifying the original bill to the
point where the law as passed represented the
bare minimum of practicable federal blue-sky
regulation.
The argument against the securities law
parades in the cloth Of patriotism 1t is said
that the new law has prevented much-needed
financing, retarded the fotation of securities
and thus jeopardzed national recovery. That
is not true.
The chief business need is obviously short
term credit That is not affected by the
securities law. Still the bankers refrain from
lending, despite the pleas of the White House.
the RFC and the NRA.
Railroad securities also are exempt from
Inc SeCuI1lIcS dCIJ anu YET new IdIl ISSUES are
not being foated. The railroads are not even
taking advantage Of the credit facilities for
maintenance and equipment available under
the MIRA.
Municipal issues are another class exempted
from the securities law. But defaults continue
because cities are unable to refnance.
Apparently the capital markets can be re-
vived only through larger government fnanc-
ing of capital expenditures for public works.
While bankers hesitate to extend even short
term credits, it is obviously absurd to argue
that the mild securities law is to blame for the
absence of long-term issues.
We believe with the administration which
enacted the securities law that it is helpful
to real business recovery. If corporate Securi-
ties can not be sold in the light of facts re-
garding their value, as required by the law.
then it is better that they remain unSold IN
sound stock issues can not speed business
recovery.

WRONG BALLYHOO

OIVIC boosters often have way of object
~ ing to the publication of unpleasant facts
on the ground that such publication does
more harm than good. The issue arose in
Philadelphia the other day, and ended in such
a way as to justify those who believe that
telling the unvarnished truth is the more
wholesome policy.
The Chamber of Commerce issued a report
boasting that all business houses on two main
downtown streets had enrolled in the NRA.
The editor of the Philadelphia Record sus-
pected that this boast was sheer ballyhoo.
He had reporters investigate. found that six
teen business firms in the district cited had
not enrolled, and published story telling of
the findings
The result was that the sixteen dilatory
firms Immediately got into line And the Rec
ord pertinently remarked that whereas the
empty ballyhOo of the civic boosters had
stopped progress, the active criticism of the
newspaper had led directly to some much
needed action.

HASTE MAKES WASTE

VXTHEN you are considering the apparent
w slowneSs of the administration in get
ting it's vast public works program under way,
there are one or two little subsidiary points
that ought to be taken into account.
First of all, JOBS of this kind are in the
very nature Of things, slow in getting started.
You can't begin big construction job over
night. The mere physical work of getting set
on blueprints and designs, getting estimates
and contracts, arranging for supplies of mate
rial, and so on, takes tine-lots of it. A GER
tain amount of delay is inevitable under even
the most ideal conditions.
Secondly, there is the possibility of graft
and extravaganza. Haste makes waste no
where so much as in government spending.
This tremendous spending program could
easily develop the most monstrous govern
mental scandal in all our history if extreme
care were not taken. We want it kept free
from graft, and graft is apt to slip in if the
thing is done too fast.

REPEAL WHISKY

a GENERATION which regards the kitchen
L N sink as a gin factory and has realized the
utter falsity Of even the most eminent labels
stands today upon the threshold of new era
repeal.
To innocent modern ears there is no sacri-
lege in DR.. James M. Dorans suggestion that
the surviving seventeen-y ear-old whisky be
used merely as base for blends, to constitute
less than 20 per cent by volume of new con-
coction consisting largely of grain alcohol and
prune juice.
The great tradition of American rye and
bourbon whisky was not built upon-call it
what you will-blended, rectified or cut stock.
Those were the things which formerly were
supposed to make a jackrabbt spit in the
bulldogs face. Old Dr. Harvey Wiley, a
chemist himself, always contended that the
chemists place was in his laboratory, not in
the diStillery. And certainly the Kentucky
colonies and other authorities on sound drink
ing stuck to their principles that nothing was
too good for a gertleman'S stomach
Yes, this is old-faShioned talk But syn
thetic hooch is going to be old-fashioned al
most before one can say Bottoms up!" The
good name OF repeal should be protected; it
was fought for hard enough The repeal era
should not be the ersatz era.
Congress, the bureau Of industrial alcohol,
the state liquor commissions and, most of all,
the distillers and consumers should get busy
to insure that repeal whisky will be the best
and purest that can be made.
