KIRKLEY KNOWS HIS OIL

Could anyone possibly learn all
there is to know about the oil
business in one year one month
and four days?
Donald j. Kirkley, 2s-year-old
chief Of the Petroleum Admins.
trative Boards publicity unit, is
probably the best affirmative an
swer, not only in Washington, but
the country.
'Don," as he is known to every
newspaperman and oil industry
official in Washington, has been
in the Service" just that long
and can talk oil termS-hot or
cold-with the most experienced.
Valuable to Ickes
Not only does young Mr.. Kirk
ley keep the press representatives
up to par in oil information, but
Secretary Of Interior Harold L.
1ckes, the Oil Administrator, de-
pendS on him in no small way for
the low down on many matters
Of the industry.
Don came here with q neWSpa-
per background from Fort Worth,
Tex, to study at Georgetown Uni.
versity. He specialized in the
School of Foreign Service, with
his goal set for position as for
eign trade expert. Came the crash
of '29 and the blasting of foreign
trade.
Back to Newspaper
He again turned to the news
paper profession and until De-
cember /, 1888, when he joined
the publicity ranks Of Secretary
Ickes under the jovial Mike"
Straus, was a Washington scribe.
Married and the fond parent of
a year-old son, he lives in the
800 block Ordway st. N. w.

CANINE LINEUP
USED TOF|ND
HEN KILLER

East Falls Church, already the
Winsted Of Virginia, will witness
the strangest police lineup in its
history next Saturday when an
irate farmer attempts to point the
finger of guilt at two dogs which
he accuses of killing IA priced
chickens.
1t won't be easy to point them
out, If owners of the defendants
have anything to do about it, be.
cause Major William Covington
and S. Parry Grubb who face pay
ing $3.50 to Samuel H. Payne, have
promised to have quite an assort-
ment" of CANNES for him to
choose from.
Hedrik is Solomon
The role of Solomon was played
in the case by Judge Hedrick, of
Arlington county. yesterday after
hearing the plaintiff explain that
dogs owned by Major Covington, q
legal adviser in the Civil Service
Commission. and Mr.. Grubb, of
the supervising architects office
in the Treasury, had killed IA
highly priced veneroid bivalves (or
hens, if you prefer. A fifteenth
might just as well be considered
a total loss, he admitted, and that
made the damages something
like $3.50.
Major Covington and Mr.. Grubb
protested on two grounds. The
plaintiff had not identified the
culprits as their dogs and, any,
way, hens worth $40 each hardly
accorded with current prices at
the local produce market.
The dogs we're not in court, they
further pointed out, and for that
matter neither were the dead
hens.
How He Decides
Judge Hedrick rose to the oc.
casion by deciding as follows:
The defendants must assemble
a collection Of possible hen-kill.
ing dogs in a paddock at the
Grubb home in East Falls Church
Saturday afternoon. The plain.
tiff must then appear and choose
from the yipping pack the two
dogs he accuses of committing
mayhem on his flock.
Should he choose the dogs
owned by the defendants then,
well, it'll be just too bad for Major
Covington and Mr.. Grubb. If not,
well, chances are the case will be
dismissed.
Laying plans for collecting a
sizeable pack of CANNES, the de-
PENDANTS will call at the Districts
dog pound in search of possible
suspects"

Well, take 40 winks If you feel
/ ike II. You do look tired"
! Zoe went out on the terrace, well
within the range Of the library tele-
/ phone and the driveway, UP which
any errand boy might tool MS oi-
cycle. She fixed her eye on the
printed page, but her mind was else
where. One-thirty now, and the wire
must have been delivered about II.
Well, but Gibbs might be out for a
days sailing, hshing-anything. II
was absurd to expect an instant
reply.
THE long day dragged past,
Il Edith williams came in for
! tea; Zoe could hear her mother
chattering about the Welfare So
ciety and milk for the Italian babies
in the Hollow. And still no call, no
telegram!
So this was what it was to have
your heart actually breaking. Zoe
had read about it, had often heard
of it, but somehow she had never
realized what an agonized process
it might be-
She telephoned the Strykhurst
house. EIen's agreeable voice, with
its touch of brogue, informed her
that Miss Katharine Lad gone to
the city.
She'll be back for dinner, Miss
Zoe. DO you want her to call?"
Yes, pleased" Zoe had TO tell
some one, Katharine might not
understand, but she would be SYM
pathetic enough.
There were just three Of them for
dinner. The fog still held and it
was close and warm indoors, so they
dined on the terrace.
Broke 100 this morning" her
father said genially. He was a
spare, forid man of IS, very proud
of his waistline and his red settlers.
One of these amiable dogs now am
bled up to the table and was dis
couraged, not too strongly, by mis-
master.
Get away. Laurie. Down, sir.
No manners"
Tell Gerda to take him to the
Kitchen" said Mrs. Parker plain
lively. HE acts as though Waters
hadn't fed him"
"Oh, he's been fed, all right. He
just likes his family, don't you,
Laurie. Eth, boy?"
There was a good deal more of
this, Mrs. Parker Directing strenu-
ously to the dogs presence on the
terrace, her husband agreeing, but
keeping Laurie at his side.
Zoe thought she would have to
scream if she were compelled to stay
there much longer. Older persons
were terrible! They filled their days
with the most stupid things-moth-
ers' meetings and needlework and
ordering food, raising dogs and
playing golf and sitting at stuffy
desks in stuffy offices. -. They
didn't know what it was like to be
really alive, or, if they did, they
had long since forgotten it.
To suffer, as she was now suffer-
ing, thinking of Gibbs, with his
hard, handsome face, too lined, too
knowing, staring down intently at
some SNUG, horrid little girl who
went to the Vincent Club dances
