than usually shiftless that afternoon
and the young wife herself had been
forced to prepare the meal. Any
exertion of late left her upon the
ragged edge of utter collapse.
Donald's sympathetic remon-
STRANGE was interrupted by old Ped
70, the water man. Pedro halted his
groaning truck outside the house
and called something in Spanish
that took Fisk away from the table
and out into the road. Gloria had
mastered only a few words of the
language-this climate robed wo-
men of energy both physical and
mental-hence she could not under
stand what was being said. When
Don returned, he forestalled her
anxious query by announcing:
"McKay's in some sor of trouble
and I've got to run out there again.
Don't worry-it's nothing much"
"What kind of trouble?" Gloria's
tired face was suddenly drawn with
apprehension.

there was no expression of grief
upon her face, but tears of utter

how the stem is cooked and things

Fisk lay on his bed all that norm
ing, and he perspired in his sleep,
Meanwhile his wife went on with
her packing and her unpacking.
There was indeed very little to get
ready and it was a foolish waste of
effort, but she had to do something
with her hands and this occupation
gave her the same pleasure she had
derived from holding and unfold
ing her dolls clothes for imaginary
journeys. She had loved to play
that game when she was a tiny girl
and she was becoming very childish
of late.
Don left again during the most
cruel heat of the afternoon; he re-
turned about midnight and Gloria
gathered from what he told her that
these fishing jobs were tedious at
best and that the crew wa getting
along as we'll as could be expected.
For two days his nightly report
was the same. Had the accident oc-
CURED earlier, he would have pro-
ceeded, upon failure to grapple the
troublesome bit stem, to sidestrack
the obstruction, so he explained. In
other words he would have drilled
past it by allowing the second bit
to be DETECTED by the first. The
lost tool was in reality a forty-foot
steel shaft standing in the bottom

GEORGE WASHINGTON

THE truest shrine to the Father
of Our Country, George
Washington, is in the hearts of
his countrymen. Yet physical
shrines to his memory and trib-
utes to his great genius fill the
world. There is no town OF ham
let in the Republic which Wash
ington founded that does not
boast a memorial in marble or
granite; a street, a square, or a
building dedicated to Jul first
President.
The two monuments most
often visited in a spi~ of vener-
alton not only by Americans but
by visitors from all nations are
the skyscraper shaft that rises
in our national capital and the
statue shown in the sketch
above, which stands in front of
the Sub Treasury Building in the
Wall Street section of New York.
Washington was born in Vir-
ginia, about fifty miles from the
Mt. Vernon estate which was in
fnitely dear to him. His gift for
mathematics led him into survey
ing work, but the war between
France and England found him
in the military service of Vir-
GINA.
Soon thereafter he took up his

life as a farmer, cul5iyating the
broad acres of Mt. Vernon, but
always alert to the growing dis
content of the colonies and &C
tive in the councils of their
leaders.
In TITS, when war with Eng
land seemed unavoidable, the
Continental Congress elected him
COMMANDMENTS Chief of the Am
erican armed forces. His services
and his military genius are
among the chief glories of our
history.
When independence had been
won he resigned his commission,
hoping to devote his life to his
personal affairs. The young ma
ton, however, had need for his
leadership and in 1857 made him
president Of the Constitutional
Convention. Two years later,
despite personal reluctance, he
became the first President of the
United States.
After two terms in that Office
he retired to Mt. Vernon, but
lived only two years in its enjoy
ment. He was buried at Mt. Yer
non, where his home, his grave,
his many memorials have become
sacred shrines for succeeding
generations.

A recent poll of Barnard College
freshmen shows that a Phi Beta
key is a 17-to-1 favorite ambition

"Whoopee", alleged by-word of
the dear old "collegiate" days, has
been revealed as just another word

In 1880 President Louis Mar
shall, of William and Mary COL
lege, Williamsburg, Va, abolished
classes by groups, having the stu
dents meet the professor at any
time. Pres. Marshall was seeking
to develop untrammelled indivi-
dualism; the plan was a failure.
In 1928 President James Carna-
han thought of recommending the
closing of Princeton, since the en-
rollment had dropped from 12o to
70; designations were frequent in
the faculty, standards were lax,
and divided counsels rent the ad-
ministration.

of the hole, and it weighed many
hundreds of pounds. Inasmuch as it
was tipped so that its upper end
rested against the side of the we'll,
it was not easy to get hold of it.
This new drilling would have re-
suited in a crooked hole fifty or
sixty feet deep and would have left
the obstructing tool standing upon
a shelf of rock. By exploding a
small shot a few feet below this
shelf the lost bit could have been
dropped into the pocket-sidetrack-
ed-after which the old shaft could
have been carried on.
But Fisk declared he was afraid
to attempt this maneuve so close
to the structure. Other oil men had
warned him against doing so. Twice
something of the sort had been tried
in the Ell Centric field and n each
instance a ruined we'll had resulted.
The shots had scared the rock-due
perhaps to some peculiar charac-
teristic of the formation. Again he
told his wife not to worry; new
fishing tools were on the way up
from the coast; Mckay might have
the obstruction out before they ar
rived-in fact, he might get hold
of that bit stem at any moment.
That was the way with fishing
jobs.
Don maintained this hopeful at
titude; in his wife's presence he
continued to be CHEEKY, but out at
the Homestake, where he spent
twenty out of every twenty-four
hours, he was anything but optim-
istic. Nor was he a pleasant person
to get along with. Under ordinary
circumstances he would have re-
fused to be unduly perturbed by
the oil game and graphing blindly
for a bit stem in the bottom of a
steel-lined shaft a quarter of a mile
deep is slow work at best. Some
times it takes weeks.
But circumstances were not or
binary. Gloria's heart was set on
catching hat boat, the days were
slipping past, and Don could no
longer blind himself to the truth
that she was seriously i'll and ought
to go. And yet there was nobody
here he could send with her, nor
could he leave until the we'll was
in. The directors wouldn't stand
for that, even if he could bring
himself to do such a thing. 1t so
happened-as it usually does hap
no time in the entire
history of the company's operations
could have been more unpropitious
than the present for a mishap such
as this. The treasury was low,
there were bank loans soon to be
met! nothing less than big new,
production" could avert a serious
If he lost the Homestake,
the company was wrecked.
Fisk drove his men without
mercy, but it was maddeningly flu
tile work, this blind graphing, this
interminable experimenting with
one device after another. He be-
came irritable and jumpy; his hands
shook when he wiped the singing
sweat out of his eyes; he cursed the
desert aloud when its heat rendered
the work doubly hard. Working on
that derrick floor was like working
upon a bed of Goals. Every piece
of metal that flesh fell upon was
hot enough to blister; the stale
water that he and his men swilled
down their threats was tepid, and
even in their sleep they were thirsty.
Fish told his wife grimly one day
that they could not make the boat.
