How to loosen the knot

Mrs. B. took a sudden notion she
wanted a parrot. At the Pet Shoppe
she selected a bright looking bird. Said
the clerk:
This bird is young and good talk
er, but these last two years he has
been in a honky-tonk. His language
may be little ribald"
The woman took the bird home, but
decided to keep it out in the back
porch a couple of months as whatever

/ he would forget it. In the meantime
| she had heard not one smutty word
from the parrot.
One evening the woman and her
husband invited in some old friends
men and their wtves-to play cards.
Shortly after the guests seated them
selves, the lady slipped out and
brought the parrot in the room, stand
ing his cage on table. The parrot
looked around the room, scrutinized
the guests, then cooked one eye,
blinked a couple of times, and said:

Only the F. B. /. can tell which is the fifth

umnist, perhaps member of the federal
bureau.
The Montana oil industry must go on
a wartime basis, in the protection of a
steady output of petroleum and petrOle-
UNI products to supply the territory from
the Pacific coast to Minnesota. 1t will
mean tremendous expansion of drilling
activity and refinery capacity, if Mon
tana is to do it's patriotic part. In times
like these the movement of refined prod
uctS will be scheduled to avoid long
hauls. The delivery of California prod
ucts to Puget Sound and to British Co
lumbia will doubtless be hampered by
submarine warfare. That will mean the
movement of Montana products from the
refineries of the Inland empire to Puget
Sound, plus additional supplies from
Montana refineries. The call for enOr-
nous amounts of motor fuel along the
Atlantic coast will mean diversion of the
MidcOntinent supplies away from the Da-
kOtas and Minnesota and Montana will
have to step into that market, providing
not only motor fuel but increasing
amounts of crude oil to supply refineries
of that area.
We look for the major companies to
rush crews of biologists into Montana
whenever weather permits, to be quickly
followed by drilling outfits, to search out
new pools in addition to speeded devel-
Opment of present producing fields.
Landowners should give every coop
Grafton to this new development, agree
ing to standard commercial leases with
out demands for a bonus, and thus allow
the operator to put all of his money into
drilling of holes and the discovery, if
possible, of new reserves to keep these
refineries operating at expanded ca
pacity.
Montana producers should be able to
get priOrities for drilling equipment over
eastern oil fields, because of the import
ance of supplying the Pacific coast. Ev-
cry carload of refined products shipped
from Montana to the coast will save a
1000 to 1,5OO-mile haul from eastern
centers, should California refiners be
forced to shut down by bombing attacks.
Investors can do no better than to pro-
vide funds for this drilling program,
wherever possible to assist. Thought of
profit is secondary to the Importance of
providing this, one of the most important
sinews of war.

ton regarding Montana test this is to

The Oil Mans Important Part

Since everyone is talking war, we are
going to devote our space this week to
the topic which is first in the minds of
everyone and we wish to apply the sig
nificant statements of our president in
his radio address on Tuesday night to the
Montana oil industry.
REFINERS of Montana must realize
that uninterrupted capacity operation is
as essential to national defense today as
is the movement of armed forces to the
Pacific coast.
PRODUCERS must realize that great
er production must be provided to care
for wartime demands. This may mean
WINTER DRILLING, instead of stack
ing tools during the next four months, as
is customary.
PURCHASERS of oil must realize that
Montana has only a 53-day supply of
crude in storage including refinery and
field storage. More oil must be provided
for the about emergency that is at hand
on the Pacific coast, where there is a
minimum of storage of refined products.
Those are essentials of the immediate
future. Many other things may be
cleaned from the radio address of the
president on Tuesday night, as pertains
to the refiners.
The president warned that greater dan
gers are ahead, from the two other axis
members. The danger to America cannot
mean invasion of the Atlantic coast. 1t
must mean the dangers from within and
while the government has arrested some
$500 known enemy aliens there is no rea-
son to believe that this removes all the
fifth column danger-which is likely to
break out with pre-arranged plans at any
time.
1t is needless to point out to Montana
refiners that the greatest danger here is
not from bOmbers but from sabOteurs
and fifth cOlumnists not slant-eyed
OrientaIs who can be easily identified and
intercepted The danger is from that
IabOrer or mechanic employed in or near
the PLAINTIFF one who has been talking
anti-British, rather than prO-Hitler or
pro- Fascist. Those are the individuals
to be watched. We know that they are
here in Montana. President Roosevelt on
Tuesday told the nation that the great
danger is from Germans and Italians
and he did not mean trans-Oceanic in
vaSiOn.
1t is not sufficient that refiners should
fine-cOmb their personnel and that
armed guards protect every plant and
tank farm. Every loyal American can be-
come a disappointed infOrmer for the
F. B. l., to help put the finger on danger

local dairyman who, early in the Euro
pean war, was reported to have been seen

Urges Men 10 Accept
Learn-to-Swim Offer
Stor-Y. N. c. A. Campaign
Will Be Conducted
From June g to Is

The advantage of knowing how to
swim was emphasized yesterday
from the standpoint of safety by
Commodore w. E. Longfellow of the
American Red Cross, who declared
it good news" that the Central
Young Mems Christian Association
in cooperation with The Star again
is ready to conduct its annual mems
Learn-to-SWim Campaign.
Commenting further on the cam
paign, Commodore Longfellow, who
is assistant national director of first
aid water safety and accident pre-
vention for the Red Cross, declared
he hoped "a lot of young men who
have grown to adult age without
learning to swim will take advantage
of this chance to begin their con-
quest of water"
He emphasized also how the ability
to swim only a short distance often
means saving ones life, asserting the
majority of drownings occur only a
short distance from where the
drowning person would be able to
touch bottom.
The campaign, which offers free
swimming instruction to any male 18
years old or over, will be conducted
from June to l6. All necessary
for those who wish to take advantage
of the opportunity to learn to swim
is to register at the Y. M. c. A., 1875
G street NV, either in person or
by mail by 9 pm. Saturday. For
their convenience, The Star is run
ming a coupon daily which may be
used to register simply by filling in
blank spaces provided for name and
address and mailing to the Learn
to-Swim" registration desk. SWIM
ming instruction will be given in
the pool in the mems building under
direction of Paul Wilson, senior
aquatic instructor, who will have a
corps of experts assisting him.
Colored men may register at the
Twelfth Street Branch Y. M. 6. A.,
1916 Twelfth street NV, where they
will be taught to swim by experts
there.
