ELKS HILLS OIL AGAIN FIGURES
 IN LEGAL TEST
Government Seeks Title to Fields Owned By Stand
 ard Oil
Rr ROBERT WILCOX

United Press Stan Covrespondent)
 Fresno, Cal, Oct 25-(UPl- Litigation dating back more than 20 years and involving such prom inent figures as the late Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall and Ed- ward Doheny, oil magnate. win be revived here October 25 when the 22OO0. 900 suit filed by the federal government against the Standard oil company will be heard in the U. s. district court.
 The origin of the suit lies deep in the history of early California and concerns Q section of the Elk Hills oil land in the San Jaoquin valley. The government demands title to Q section of the oil fields now owned by Standard oil and includes heirs of Doheny among the . many defendants in the suit.
 When California was admitted to statehood, sections 1S and SS of every township were reserved asg school lands, with the proviso that should mineral wealth be found on the reserved lands, they should re- vert to the government.
 Section Sold Twice
 Section S6 in Kern county ulti- mately was sold to early settlers who entered the state and suhSe- Quently sold by them to the Stand ard OH company
 Litigation over the section first started in 1910 with action against the oil company in the Visallia land otnce on the grounds that the gov- ernment knew oil was present in the land, and under the law title had reverted to 1t.
 The oil company argued that at the time it bought lands in sec tion Se, oil had not been discov- cred, nor did anyone know it was present, so its title was clear.
 Secretary of the Interior Fall dismissed the action, which later was taken up by his successor Hubert Work.
 Clear Title Asked
 It Is contended by the govern ment that the land is Q part of a naval oil reserve, and cannot be rightfully held by Q private con- cern. It asks the court to give 1t clear title and all income and profits derived from its mineral wealth by the Standard oil company.
 In Q 1885 ruling by Secretary of the Interior Harold L, Ickes. the governments claim was upheld. Judge Leon Yankwich of Los An- geles declared in a session of the U. 6. district court that the decision of the secretary of the interior is bitading unless 1t is based on fraud or misapplication of law. He pointed out in the opinion that Standard on is entitled, upon . showing of good faith, to money expended in acquiring and improving the land.
 4 final decision of the suit Is ex- pected to follow attorneys argu- ments this month.

thingsl Sorry, but I'm afraid you won't. The man who is determined to please himself first, last, and all the time will not even do that in the long run. The greatest life, the only truly blessed life, was lived by One who pleased not Himself. All His talents, all His abilities, His very life was mortgaged by responsibility to God. The Cross is the symbol of His responsibility and His victory. So of ours as well. His will is our peace'."

debts totaled approximately $2l, ,42C.- 202 and after adjustment the total indebtedness was brought down to $1752l,410. This represents a re- duction of about $3,898, ,783 or rough ly 15 per cent.
 Thus in @ practical way Connec- ticut has benefited directly and in- directly, and agriculture is in bet ter condition here than 1t has been during the past fifteen years.
 Our farmers have confidence in the Democratic administration and in our president. His recent tour through the West indicated his knowledge and understanding of the farm problem and his willingness to go directly into the regions to un- derstand its problems. He does not work with blind hope. He goes into the fields with the farmers and learns of their problems at first hand. Agriculture has had no greater friend at any time than President Roosevelt.

Exercise, fresh air, sunshine, sensible diet and sufiicient sleep are the best beauty preparations for the college girl. Good health is the foundation of truly radiant beauty, and it's . mistake indeed for the coed to try to suhsist on chocolate sodas and fad diets, or to fall Into irregular sleeping habits.
 It's great fun to sit up in the dormitory and talk for hours and hours after study periods are fin- ished, of course--al1d conversation is wonderflil--but one who makes c habit of sleeping all too few hours a night will find that her beauty, not to mention her altertness, will
 Brisk walks in the sunshine will keep your fingre as trim and sup- pie as 1t is now. No college girl wants to be bothered with flock of intricate beauty routines, but walking isn't Q bother, and 1t is more sensible to pay a mite of at- tention to your figure now while you are young and lovely than to wait until there are noticeable defectts which require strenuous treatment.
 Cleanliness is part of the busi- ness of being healthy. Do bathe every day, and wash face and neck frequently between times. See that your hair always Is fresh and clean and fragrant. Also that clothes are neatly pressed and absolutely spot less. Even though you are in . girls school where clothes do not matter much during the week, keep the casual ones you do wear iEamacu- late. Habits set SO early in life stick. So why cultivate slovenly ones? When you get out into the world and whether you choose . career of business, teaching or marriage, neatness will count. Learn to be trimly groomed now, then you won't have to be bothered trying to change your habits later on.

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

| to you. They are always tied u, with some emotion.
 You cannot remember the day at the ZOO, for instance, wher the elephant put his trunk ovel the bars and sniffed for peanuts Mary is surprised when you don' recall that she had on her pink dress and carried the parasol tha, Auntie Lou gave her on her birth. day. T thought he was going te take my parasol, mother, don't you remember2 My heart was |! my mouth"
 First Impressions Remain
 There was the day you gave a party, too, and Mary remembers that Mrs. Darwin had on 6 green dress. How in the world does Mary remember that, you won- der? Mary can't quite explain, but she knows that she sneaked out of bed and peeped over the bannis- ter. Guilt. It was probably Mrs. Darwin who came out into the hall and almost spied the curious child who should have been asleep.
 Memory is an odd thing, very, but, in later life the things that cling will most likely be associ- ated with feelings" at the time the event took place.
 Children won't remember their second ride on roller coaster. but they will their first. Unless the second ride, or the third, was associated with something strong- CT than mere thrill. Perhaps Mary was i'll, or worried because she lost her hat.
 What do you want your child's future memories of childhood to be? Happy ones, or dismal recol- lections of failure, disappointments and punishments?
 Lessons Quickly Learned
 Life holds all three, even for a child, because otherwise they would have to be wrapped in eel lophane and kept in cold storage. Besides they need certain rough age and certain bumps to harden them. But here is the crux of the matter. Will a grown child" look back and weigh his memories of his father, for example, and find that most of his recollections are unpleasant?
 There should be enough ball. ance so that the youth can re- view his childhood and say. My parents were fair. Sometimes I was a handful and deserved what l got. Bpt mostly I was happy. I'll never forget how relieved I was when dad bought a new pad- dle for the canoe after I'd broken one on rock. I was more care. ful after that, because he didn't scold."
 These are things to ponder over. The child caught up in some emotion will often correct his own mistakes.

Here's a new one - apple pie with the cheese baked right inside. Tc make 9-inch pie, follow this re- cipe.
 Apple Cheese Pie
 Two cups pastry flour, 1-2 tea spon baking powder, teaspoon salt 2-3 cup butter or other shortening. 1-3 cup cold water, 3 tablespoons grated cheese.
 For filling: 4 cups apples, thinly sliced, 2-3 cup sugar, 1-2 teaspoon cinnamon, Ia teaspoon salt, table, spoon grated lemon rind.
 Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut in shortening un. til pieces are about size of small peas. With a fork, mix in only enough water to make flour hold to- gether. Form into a ball and chill thoroughly while preparing the ap- pies. Then roll out half the pastry dough and with it line a 9-inch heat resistant glass pie plate.
 Fill the pie plate with sliced ap- pies. Cover with mixture of sugar cinnamon, salt and lemon rind. Roll out other half of pastry very thin. Cover one half with grated cheese. than field the other half over cheese and roll out again to cover the pie. Cut holes in top to allow steam tc escape and then cover the pie. Trim of edges, flute and bake in moder- ately hot oven (375 degrees F) for about 45 minutes, until apples are tender.
 Another novelty is Salisbury steak with cream cheese. Winifred Dunn, Hollywood writer, known for her cooking, too, contributes 1t.
 Rub a wooden bowl with garlic To chopped steak. add cream cheese in the same quantity you would add bread crumbs or potatoes in mak. ing Salisbury steak. Mix thorough ly in bowl to get the kindly touch of garlic. Season with salt and pep. per. roll Into small balls, then fry or broil.
 Miss Dunn adds Q final wave oj good appetite. Mash avacado into puree. then mix with minced onion. Spread this on crackers and serve with chilled fruit juices oi cocktails just before dinner.

Long time no say much about physiological relation between insuf- flcient daily vitamin and mineral in- take and abnormal or excessive crav- ing or capacity for refined carbo- hydrates. Wiseacre laity and rank and file of American Medical Yes sociation no listen. Yes-sociation's pancratic spokesman" explode too many smart-crackers on idea tfl newspaper shop.
 Loss of appetite, that is for proper food, is one characteristic feature or symptom of multiple neuritis, whether 1t be oriental polyneuritis (beriberi) or damphool Yankee alco- holic neuritis. Both maladies are due to prolonged extreme shortage of vitamin B. This fact is slowly permeating the medical mind There are still many physicians here in America who scarcely compre- hend that so-called alcoholic neuritia is a nutritional deficiency and calls for all the vitamin B the victim can take in any form or manner Twenty per cent 0 fall cases of poly neuritiS, according to Vorhaus (Dig Dis. and Muir. 3, 915, '37), have in- tensification or aggravation of neu- ritis pain few days after vitamin B treatment begins lasting for nearly a week, before the steady improve ment becomes evident. Tn all neuritis cases it is well to remember this.
 If increased intake of vitamins and minerals, or just vitamins, re- stores lost appetite or improves Q poor appetite, as it does in beri-beri alcoholic neuritis and many vague cases of "below-par" condition, how can the same treatment curb ex- cessive or abnormal appetite or crav- ing for food? That is the question propounded by a good many critics speak first and think afterward-it at all. These half-iformed skeptics remind us of the birds who argue: "If drafts don't cause pneumonia how do you account for the many narrow escapes my Aunt Ophelia had from catching her death that way?"
 A similar sophomoric question was propounded by the brass sur geons when the mass administration of iodin was introduced in the pre-. vention of goitre.
