Of an extraordinary sort. To a very large
extent Miss Yopp has been doing 1t herself
because competent help has not always been
available. It has taken so much of her time
that the real constructive phase of her serv-
;ces she feels, has been under handicap.
With the sincerity that has typified her long
connection with the Travellers Aid, she feels
that if she had able assistance in preparing
the reports and other statistical documents
required Of her, she would be free to give
more and better aid where and when it is
needed
In addition to help in what is called lease
work" in welfare efforts, Miss Yopp needs
help with these other tasks II the USO can
not provide it, are there not experienced won1-
en- in Wilmington who could spare the time
to give it, for fair pay? If she had this help
she would be able occasionally to enjoy an
early evening meal and not have to wait,
as she often does now, until 10 OF II o'clock
for it.

Census Bureau reported tonight.
A striking example of war-in-

NEW YORK, Oct. 30. - Up -

1874 gas and CTS were dry. 1t says
that while compilations were great.
er than in any month since jan
uary of 1912, drilling still was far
under the pre-war normal.
A survey reported by the Chica-
60 Journal of Commerce shows
1 $40 drilling operations under way
in 10 states on Oct. l, of which
401 were rated as wildcats - in

adequate increase in the price OF
crude oil. Only by this means can
the industry overcome the uncer-

The industry wants more than
oil for war; it fears that after the
war the United States will have
to import great quantities in or

Otherwise, it might have to turn
to expensive new processes such
as recovery from oil shale or even
the manufacture of oil from coal,

Oil men contend, and have ar

much confusion, to wit:
l. That the United States is a part of
the world, always has been and cannot
avoid being entangled in one way or an
other.
2. That in the future the United States
should have foreign policy designed to
protect its own essential interests which
are to help maintain order in the world

find in the second as great cause for dis
agreement over a definition as in the cases
Miss Hornaday cited. The United States, she
says, in the future must have foreign policy
to protect its own "essentiar' interests.
How shall it be determined, and who shall

Here's fine chance for controversy. We can
only hope that members Of the Senate. already
bewildered by words, do not debate on them,
at least until the war is won.
