SHOW OF GAS
IN FIRST SAND
ON WEST FLANK

A showing Of gas IN the sunburst
sand was reported this week from the
Big West-State No. wen on the Hipb
Gravity pool nose west OF Kevin
field, but the sand proved thinner than
expected and drilling continues to the
next horizon, the Cut Bank sand. Lo-
cation Is in NE corner NEa NW3 13-
35-3w.
The Sunburst sand was found at
1000, showing gas. Casing was run
at 2,086, since the High Gravity-Hor-
ner No. well had a good showing Of
oil in the base of a 25-foot Sunburst
sand. Drilling continued and at 2O88
the bit ran out of sand, going back
into shale. Production is expected,
however, at the Madison lime contact.
Depth is 2,175.

Almost as great a favorite with
the local audience as the singer him
self is his accompanist, Stewart
Willie. He established this in his
three piano solos, Debussy's La Ter
race des audiences du clair de lune, -
the Bach-Warren "Bist du bel mir"
and the Bach-Siloti Prelude From
Cantata No. 35." The refinement of
his style and his facile technique,
already appreciated in his accom-
paniments, were strongly applauded
and brought an encore by the gifted

followed favOrlte encore. with the
same generosity that he has always
shown toward his listeners, he tried
to give them what they most wanted
to hear without sparing himself. 1t
was an evening of real pleasure to
those who know him in his roles as
opera. radio and concert star.
This was the first concert the BARI
tone has given here however, where
the great Tibbett vitality was miss
ing. All through the program there
was a definite intention on the ar
lists part to hold in check the
personal Joy which he has always
seemed to feel in singing for his
public and to set limit on the
power which he would put into his
tones. No singer has had the ability
to rouse a concert audience by the
sheer opulence and freedom OF his
voice as has Mr.. Tibbett and missing
the customary vigor of his perform
.ance was missing great deal. Yet
his recent illness and the need TO
take care of his voice makes it per-
fectly understandable.
However curbed may have been
the volume of his voice and the per-
sonal feeling back of his singing, 1t
in no way affected his superb ar
tistrv. The same finely spun tone
was there, the splendid breath con-
troll and the superlative union of text
and music. The voice itself has
gained in beauty with the restraint
put upon it and the careful way in
which its quality was husbanded.
It was as pliable to the demands OF
expression as ever, while an example
of superb vocal control throughout
its register.
The first numbers he sang were
selected ones beginning with Bee
thoVen's Il Love Thee" and the
aria Arm, Arm, Ye Brave" from
HandelS Judas Maccabeus," fol-
lowed by a group of lieder including
Brahms 20 to Be Child Again"
VOLTS While Tramping" and Fare
Thee Well" and Schubert's THE
Omnipotence." Mr.. Tibbett always
has held to the belief that songs
in foreign languages should be sung
in English for an American audience
and he put this into practice in these
numbers. His excellent diction and
his musical understanding OF the
style necessary for these songs gave
them additional value when sung IN
English.
one aria alone was programmed,
The Fri tu" from Verdi'S The
Masked Ball" where the Tibbett OF
the powerful operate roles was
heard. His forcefulness in charac-
terization, which has made him
stand alone as interpreter of diff
cult parts, could be felt in his sing
ing of this number and of the
"Credo" from "Otello," which he
gave by request. The ruggedness
and the drama of his portrayal were
clearly projected.
The remainder of songs were OF
the lyric type, with three by Rach-
maninoff forming the major part of
the final group. The substitution of
Rachmaninoff'S I'm the Silent
Night" for the programmed MY
Little Room" by MousSorgSky, was.
received with delight and the artist
sang it beautifully. Edward Harris
Prayer and Question" was an un-
familiar but worthwhile number,
but Carl Loewe's setting of The
Erl King" suffered, as it is bound to,
from comparison with Schubert's.
The list of encores, beginning with
Schubert's The Wanderer," given
after the second group, contained
Schubert's "Serenade," VOLTS

BUSINESS IS ASKED
TO UNITE in FIGHT
ON PRICE JUMPING

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). = Cen
eral pricing policies which should be
followed during the present emergency
by both manufacturers and distrib-
utors of consumer goods were outlined
by Harriet Elliott, Consumer Commits
sioner of the National Defense Ad-
visory Commission.
Miss Elliott s recommendations
were: that anticipated cost increases
which have not yet materialized
should not be made the basis for price
advances; that when prices of new
goods advance, inventories be aver
aged rather than marked up to the
new level; that rigid adherence to the
practice of traditional rates of mark-up
should be discouraged unless it can be
shown that costs have advanced by
an equivalent amount
Miss Elliott strongly urged that
these be adopted as fundamental poll
cies in order to guard against spiral
in living costs.
Current pricing policies run
ming contrary to these recommen-
dations tend to boost prices more
quickly and in greater amount
than business costs rise" she
said. 'The net effect is a pyra-
miding of unwarranted price in
creases in consumer goods. The
united action of American bust
ness men is necessary to avert
these perils."
These pricing recommendations were
contained in a letter from Miss Elliott
to B. j. Calm, president, B. Kuppen-
heimer & Company, manufacturers of
mems clothing, thanking Calm for the
assurance that his company was seek
ing to avoid unjustified price increases.
