Sure they're devoted to you, but they
don't seem to realize it. Muriels fine woman

boy, who might be a good citizen if he didn't
have good thing for father. Why can't you
tell 'em where they get off - just once, Will?
Why can't you bring home to 'em that you're
the only essential thing in their lives, and
that when you step out, the music's going to

Dr. Gum laughed: you fellows are all

dinner table, that Carols marriage won't

Carol know it,"
"Shes headstrong," replied Carberry.
why aren't you headstrong too?" Dr. Gum
asked when did husbands and fathers de-

and when did the law of supply and demand
become the only law in our homes, with bater
tamilias strictly on the supply end?'

his first dollar Here's Carol, determined to

THAT won't be with Windy

eral people have tried living with Windy,
and none of them liked it. His own mother
has just given up the experiment, believe
His mothers a prig," Carol answered,
"and the man I'm going to marry is named
Windsor not Windy"
1t was an unequal battle, as any observer
of ordinary domestic ring side experience
would have realized. Willis Carbery faded
into the background of his book-lined room.
At fifty, he was an old man, pasty-faced,
slightly bald, tapping his desk with irresolute
fingers and speaking in voice that had
more appeal than authority. Carol filled the
eve like flash of flame. Flame-like she was,
too, in her crimson MORE dinner dress, with
lips and fngernails to match. Twenty,
vibrant, dark-haired and dark-eyed, Carol
knew what she wanted, and invariably got it.
At the office, Carberry got what he wanted,
but this wasn't the Office. 1t was years since
Carberry had got very much that he wanted
at home.
Listen, Carol, he pleaded now. 1--WE been

He knew enough to bring you into the
world, and he's pretty fond of you - and me.
Dick and l were roommates at college. Ask
him about Windy i mean Windsor

died That had been five years ago, and when
it happened, love and life and laughter had
all seemed to end at once. When they resumed,
Richard Gum worked harder than before,
and leaned more heavily on his friends -es-
pecially on this oldest friend, Carberry. whose
children had been almost his own - the chill
dren he had never bad.
Now, leaving Carberry. he said We've got
to do something about Carol Will When you
think what marriage can be ="
1t was a week afterward that Carberry
collapsed at his desk Overwork did it. per-
haps, or stewing about things at home;
anyway, the hour was late, the office staff
gone, and frightened little stenographer
called Mrs Carberry, who called DR.. Gum.
They were all frightened but Willis. I'm all
right" he said don't bother about me. But
everyone did bother. and next day Judson
drove to the Office in his new sport Car and
escorted his father to the doctors crowded
reception room in Madison Avenue. The
examination lasted nearly an hour, and Gum
emerged with a grave face, to find Judson
engrossed in hlm-fan magazine.
Anything very wrong with Dad?"
Everything wrong with him. Gum re-
piled slowly ASK your mother if she could
manage to drop in here moment tomorrow.
That's between US, and, when your father
finishes dressing and comes out, you needn't

difference now
Muriel folded her well-kept hands on her
wel-tailored tweed lap. She was a tall, thin
woman with hair as dark as her daughters.
In the old days. when she and Willis were
beginning together, Mrs Carberry had faced
a good many emergencies and she had not
quite forgotten the technique. Willis had been
closer to her them now he was someone she
saw occasionally and took to dinner parties

He's fretted about Carols marriage, Judsons

TIGHT SANDS
ARE BARREN
ATcUT BANK

Cut Bank oil field provided still
another negative surprise this week
as a north offset to the fields larg-

pleted with only a showing of oil,

nor gas. 1t is Texaco-Ammerman

north of the Glacier Production
Larson No. we'll which is produc-
ing from the Sunburst sand. 1t is
on the north slope of the field, the
Larson being the northernmost oil
producer of the main field.
Texaco-AmmeTman had no Moul-
ton sand, the producing horizon of
the Lander group to the southwest.
1t had Sunburst sand from 5000 to
zoos, dry, and from 3045 to 306S.
the Larson producing zone 1t was
tightly cemented and so hard that
it was incapable of containing oil
or gas. Upper Cut Bank sand from
1880 to 3117 showed oil at 300.
There was a shale break from 3117
to 1928 and lower Cut Bank sand
came in from 1928 to BIAS, the
top of the Ellis. Water appeared
in the hole and fluid stood 125
feet and it made one and a half
barrels of oil and four barrels of
water in 13 hours. It was promptly
plugged and abandoned. The Sun

west SLOPE
At CUT BANK
YIELDS OIL

A half-mile west extension of a
hitherto doubtful area of central
Cut Bank oil field was recorded
this week with the completion Of
the Jeffries-Clarke No. I we'll in
C SWA NWA 34-35-6W, which
showed 62 barrels in the first
six hours and was making three
barrels per hour at last reports.
Location of this well is about
three quarters of a mile west OF
the Blackfeet Indian reservation line
and a half mile beyond the nearest
producers, the British-American tri-
bal wells in the same section. A.
'C Jeffries took over the Clarke
lease from Yukon Oil company.
This location is three quarters of
a mile inside the westernmost well
in the field, the Texaco-Tweedy
No. 2 but was nevertheless re-
garded as in doubtful" territory
since it is over two miles south
of the Tweedy producer which
found its oil in the Moulton sand
and not in the usual Cut Bank hori-
zon
The Clarke well had no record
of Moulton sand but had Sunburst
sand from 1905 to 1892, with
showing of oil from 1920 to 1882.
This is typical of the west and
north slope where it is believed
that considerable oil will be found
in the Sunburst sand in the lower
contours. Upper Cut Bank sand
was from 2940 to 294S and lower
Cut Bank from 294S to 1913, the
Ellis contact, drilling continuing
to the 2979. The oil came from
1855 to 2970. rising 1900 feet.
Seven-inch casing was cemented at
1929 feet.
Nadeau Brothers completed an
other well on the Farmers State
