Dear Sir:
The writer attended a recent
meeting OF producers OF the KeviS-
lEunburst field, and was very much
sferested in the action taken By
said meeting In petitioning the
OH Conservation Board Of the State
for a survey OF present production
potentialities of this field. past re-
cord Of production, and estimated
future reserves.
Sunburst oil reserves by a geOlogist
named Boyer published in the OH
Weekly OF October %, is in my
opinion so erroneous and unfair 70

OF Montana and Its oil industry
the Conservation Board should take
immediate steps to gather and give
publicity to a more correct pic
ture of the situation. believe this
information could be gathered at
small cost thru checking Of past
production records coupled with a
careful field survey Of present pro-
ducing acreage and undeveloped re-
serves.
Up to January 1. 1885 the Ke-
vin-Sunburst oil field has produced
approximately 29,00O,O 900 barrels Of
oil. This has come from a pro-
duction area embracing about TO-
900 acres, but the intensive de-
velopment and bulk Of the oil pro-
duced has been localized in various
pools scattered throughout the
area. Probably not over six thou
sand acres OF the field has been
heavily developed, and not over
thirty five hundred acres has been
drilled out intensively, by this /
mean on the basis OF six to eight
wells per forty acres. believe II
Is very apparent to experienced OPP
orators IN the field that ultimate
recovery of the greatest amount OF
oil IL linked with close spacing OF 1
wells. There is no evidence in our |
cOmpany's experience, dating over |
nine years, that two or three wells /
per forty acres will recover all the /

Little Lights on
LIVING
WHAT PLAY CAN DO
By MARIA LEONARD
Dean of Women, University of Illinois
e Western Newspaper Union

DLAY is one of the four builders OF
L life. The other three are work,
love and religion. Nations have risen
like the Greeks and fallen like the
Romans through their play. Play has
not been given serious enough atten-
ton by modern parents. as factor in
their children's physical, intellectual
and moral development. Play time
has been considered a tag end usual
ly-"run away and play" when there
is nothing else 10 do.
Everything that functions has equal
capacities for both good and evil
Food, medicine, exercise and even
religion, with the fanatic can change
virtue TO vice. Progress of the race
comes from directing all these func-
tons properly into positive channels.
When this does not occur the tndivid-
ual and nation alike may be retarded
in its growth for betterment, or still
worse may be actually irrevocably
harmed. Parents probably seldom think
of pla, and its effects on their chill
dren in such serious philosophical
terms, and yet play and recreational
hours have the power TO make or mar
young life.
Play should be part OF an education
ally planned program for children.
Each child should be studied by the
parents and helped TO succeed in at
least one kind of sport, or should be
furthered in one hobby, whether it be
making some kind Of toy or collecting
insects or stones. These creative
loves in children should be hunted out
and fostered by parents. This gives TO
children early in life a sense or
achievement which later may grow into
a habit of success.
Good craftsmanship not only implies
physical skill. but also mental and
moral skill. as it takes courage TO be
a good loser and sometimes more cour-
age to play fair.
Planned play as an educational pro-
gram will take time, effort and sacri-
fee on the parents part, but in the
end il brings the largest dividend OF
character. Parents are sometimes IN
willing to give as much of their own
pleasure time TO play with their chill
dren, as such play program demands.
AS for instance, a movie manager or
one of the large theaters in Chicago
told me recently, that in his opinion,
the movies have become the modern
nurse maids for the children of the
rich and poor alike. Cars from Cadil-
lacs TO 'Tin Lizzies'' drive up and dis
gorge their small occupants each night
regardless of the sex picture shown.
and the parents drive nonchalantly
away. In two or three hours these
carefree parents return to take their
children home. Some parents few
years hence viii wonder why their
children are different from their neigh
bors' children.

NOT YET READY
FOR PRESIDENCY
Mrs. Roosevelt Says U. S. Does
Not Want Woman for
Chief Executive.

Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt an
swers the question. "Can a Woman
Ever Be President of the United
States?" In the Cosmopolitan.
Certainly, a woman can be Pres
ident," she states, lin all probability
some time a woman will be, but she
may not, in my opinion, be elected
at the present time or in the near
future. People in general do not like
the idea of a woman as Chief Ex-
ecutive.
Men and women in this country
today would vote for a man against
a woman for President no matter
what her qualifications might be. l.
for one, am glad this is so. for when
woman assumes this great respon-
sibility, other women throughout the
country should be qualified to help
her carry the burden of that Office
This will require i far more general
development of interest in public
questions, past and present. and more
willingness to serve in public posi-
lions than we have yet SEEN"
Before they are Presidential tim
Der, the First Lady believes women
must not only possess the character,
education and physical strength
which the Office demands of men. but
they must mature politically. They
must become leaders. They must
conquer their emotionalism, and their
too personal point of view. They
must assume responsibility and take
the consequences.
Before a woman may serve the
country usefully as President, not to
speak Of being elected" she goes on,
I'VE women as a whole shall have
TO be more willing to. master sub
jects which we have considered IN
interesting; we shall have to be will
ing to perform tasks which we have
stunned in the past; we shall, 1 be-
lieVe, have to reach the point in in
dustry and government where the
sex line is practically removed.
"The vast majority of women have
not yet attained the power to be OBJ
jective about their work and imper-
sonal in their business contacts.

FASHION SIGNALS
GREEN FOR AUTUMN

Yellow, the suns own color, is usual
ly a summer favorite. This year has
been no exception; yellow with brown,
yellow with black and yellow with
green is yellow still This brings
to mind that green is being wagered
on as the follow-up color.
When utterly satiated with the idea
OF current fashions it's a relief to be
able TO peer into the future. On a re-
cent peek behind the scenes the dis
covery was made that green looked
good TO many manufacturers whose
fall lines are in preparation. And
why not? It's one of the Renaissance
colors and change from the in
evitable browns. reds and rust. Each
autumn brings a change also from
the blues in which we have been
stepped all summer.
