Plans For National
Social Hygiene Day
Made for February }

Plans for the first National So
cial Hygiene Day to be held Feb
euary 3, 1887. are announced by
the American Social Hygiene AS
ISOLATION. Of 90 west Fiftleth st..
New York city. On this day. the
state and community organizations
interested in the control Of syph-
Ills and gonorrhea and other social
hygiene problems, with the adj
vice and approval of the health
authorities and the medical and
allied professions, are planning to
hold meetings all over the United
States.
IN New York cily, the American
Social Hygiene Association Will
hold its annual meeting on Feb
ruary third Also the Social Hy-
giene Council q Greater New
York WIN hold It's fifth annual re-
gional conference at the Hotel
Pennsylvania on the same day. 1t
isexpected that public leaders, in
GLIDING Surgeon General Parrar.
President Ray Lyman Wilbur OF
Stanford University, President Of
the American Social Hygiene AS
ISOLATION and former Secretary Of
the Interior, viii speak to these
meetings. National agencies and
many of their state ana commun-
ity organizations which include
social hygiene activities in their
yearly programs are planning 70
participate. 1t Is probable that a
nation wide radio hook-up win pro-
vide addresses of great importance
from high government officials and
civic leaders in different parts of
the country as a climax to the ac-
tivities Of the First National So
cial Hygiene Day.
There has been definite progress
all along the line during the past
year in public understanding end
support Of the campaign against
syphilis. Newspapers and maya
zines are opening their columns
to public discussion of this health
menace to greater extent than
ever before. Certain important
groups, such as the General red
Grafton of Women's Clubs and the
National Council of Women, are
adopting the fight against syph-
Ills as among their major efforts
In promoting community health.
1.-THE women's groups are particu-
larry interested IN the elimination
Of prenatal or congenital syphilis,
which, acquired by a child before
birth from an injected mother, is
responsible for a large share Of
stillblrths, miscarriages, and de-
fective children. and which is en-
tirely preventabIe by proper treat
ment.)
Service luncheon clubs, such as
Rotary, Kiwanis. and Lions have
recently been Undertaking social
hygiene problems. Business lead
ers are studying the cost to in
dustry from lost time, lowered eff
ficiency and disqualification due
to syphilis. The large insurance
companies are concerned over the
unnecessary claims for death and
disability due to syphilis. Civic
clubs, forums, and town meetings
are discussing the diagnosis and
treatment Of syphilis as nation
al plague.
1t is believed that the direction
OF united nationwide attention to
this subject in the way that is
proposed win help professional and
ay community leaders to capitai-
lie and increase this new interest.

vance towards meeting General

Ill Wind Blows Good
For Royalty Investors

quickly earned their cost and more. The
trouble with the opportunities OF those
days was that everything was on an equal
level. The cost of royalties was r3dicu-
lousy low but so was the price of eggs
and wheat and other commodities; wages
and salaries were cut to q minimum.
The business man had no money for in-
vestment outside of own requirements.
So there were many who recognized these
possibilities who could not be blamed
for failing to develop them. There were
some who were brave enough 20 bor-
row money to take advantage of some Of
the great bargains, but those persons
were the exceptions.
Today we have almost parallel oppor-
tunities in north Montana fields, owing
to a distinctly local problem. We find
the North Montana oil fields depressed
to the 1881 levels but the rest of the
country is running along near normal
cy. The average person can get money
for good investments. If he does NOT
take advantage of these opportunities 1t
is because he does not know about them
or is derelect in his business judgment.
He does not recall what similar OPP
pOrtunities have meant in the past. We
have had these opportunities, such as at
present, several times. The first time was
just after the field was discovered, I'm
the postwar depression. Then came an
over-production I'm 1925 when the price
of crude dropped to 80 cents per bar
rel. That was a local depression and
those investors who realized that q mar
ket would SOMETIME be found for this
crude, made q lot of money by inteIli-
gent investment There were many i'm
vestOrs who were convinced that there
would NEVER be a market for Kelvin
Sunburst crude.
All Of us remember the events: Tip
ONeiI built his refinery at Sunburst
and started selling the fuel oil to the
Great Northern and the gasoline to the
public. The crude which had been a drug
ON the market, with no buyers, suddenly
came into so great demand that practtc-
ally everyone was selling crude at a
bonus above the posted field price. This
field had a peak production day OF
80, 600 barrels of oil. Yet Is was all sold

duction situation but this time with
only 1900 barrels per day from all
fields and an established domestic mar
ket among Montana refiners that does not
vary with the weather as did the Ca
madam market It is only matter of a
few readjustments among marketers and
others and we win see new refineriee
being built and new outlets created for
this oil. Oil is too valuable. The invest
ment i'm the north Montana oil indus
try is too great to let it stand still long.
II more refineries are built and new
markets are opened, what win be the
result as to royalties? More wells win
be drilled to care for the needs Of refiner-
les and I'm turn the owner Of royalties
viii enjoy the highly profitable situa-
ton such as came TO those who bought
lowIpriced royalties in the early history
of Cut Bank oil field. The difference is
that in buying today investors have far
more TO guide them than we had in
the early days of Cut Bank. He can make
a far more intelligent investment today
than ever before in the history of the
Montana oil industry.
UVO those who think that there will
never be a market for Montana
very discouragfng situation. But to
those who believe that this oil
will become valuable, the oup0r-
tunities are so great as TO require no
comment. Royalties can be purchased on
the basis of so cents on the dollar, NOT
because the oil win not make as many
gallons OF gasoline per barrel and NOT
because the price of gasoline is no low
en- than "a cents per gallon but because
with the sudden loss of the Canadian
market north Montana producers found
themselves with more oil than present
Montana refineries can handle. The price
of crude has been reduced to a point
where there is some fnducement to men
OF capital to enter this situation and cre-
ate markets, Just as O'Neil did back
in 1925. AS long as the price OF gaso-
line in the Montana area stays at the
attractiveIy high figure OF "a cents per
gallon, it should seem reasonable that
there are many who would like to build
a refinery and expand the Montana mar
kets.
That is the issue before the royalty
investor. ANY who believes that the
present situation offers opportunity for
profit making may wen get in touch
with us.
