A l.ST was t njiilc 1 the oihei
/A day of the he si s .lers of the
lii.il thirty years. It reveals, much
about the trend of American life.
finch in 1902 ‘‘Mrs Wi.lgs of |
Ihe, Cahhuge Pa'llt" was a well!
known literary figure. She lived .
in ,i simple, homely story. There j
was som thing refreshing about
her. And when “The l.itlle
Shepherd of K ngtlom Come" left
Pome In 1904 with only his (log
to trail him aero ti the nnun.ains,
he had a wet-eyed audittnee. That
ta.ne tearful Influence w:n: along
the trail of the Lonesome Pine
when dune went hack to remem-
her her lost romance. I; predo-
minated when (larth w lit blind
i.t "The Rosary ■ "
[looks wire simple. They lead
wi.li omollons that hadn't ac-
quired a veneer of sophhv.f’ati in.
Ufa wasn't complex in those
tales. For the most part hook:
were erected on love and sacri-
fice and honor. If an author
could make his readers weep, he
had done much.
flui another Influence crept In
just before 1915. Induuiry was
growing larger. It was fas! bu-
mming a predominaling force In
American social life. And since
1 tern.tire follows life, It In came
the akelellon for fiction plots as
well.
Booth Tarkington used it In
"The Turmoil." Smoky skies ol
American cities were as Interest-
ing as the drama of love ovri
which two young people f mglll on
a mare or less Industrial basin.
But "Seventeen" was a icttm.
In pure, unalloyed enjoyment ol
thi> wislf illness that joes w lit
jwHli. It was life Itself, tlll-
) ,ihi| fed hy outside ris'rl lion

And ihon suddenly literature
wakn't afraid to look at the hid-
den .side of life. It decided not

be to travel slowly and to got a
bit of a jolting; but it is also a
fine way of enjoying the open
country and making the trip mean
something more than a mere pro-
gression from one spot to an-
other.
Already the craze for rapid
travel is beginning to dintin':,li.
The nove.ty of the automobile

realizing that, the pleasure of a
cross-country drive is usually in

lilR.WTII OF Oil. IMMSTItY
"T'S just a little more than 72
' years since the oil Industry
was luirn, hy Drake's epochal
achievement of drilling the first
oil well at Titusville, I’a. Fig-
ure alone can not show how this
giant industry has grown1*in that
time or what it has meant to
the growth of scores of other
basic industries.
In 1859, when the first well
was brought In, only two welts
w re drilled. By 1929 the total
n u m her of wells drilled
amounted to more than 800,000
and had yielded 8,638,505,000
barrels of oil. Since the dis-
covery of oil in Pennsylvania, the
petroleum industry has spread
tc the four corners of the tarth.
The first well's output sold for
u< high as *20 a barrel the ftrsL
year although two years later It
had sunk to us low as 10 cents
a barrel. These fluctuations arc
Interesting In the light of rw-
( nt events In the oli Industry, es-
pecially the speutular mobilization
if military forces in Oklahoma
and Texas to force the price ol
crude up to *1 a barrel.
The Pennsylvania grade fields,
not so long ago regarded as peter-
ed out. demonstrated the fallacy
of this idea when they were forced
to prorate their production be-
cause, like other parts of the
country, they had been producing
too much oil.

they display great iudlffereuce

This indifference la caused hy

WASHINGTON, D. C. — T he
incident of President Hoover’s
brother-in law’s arrest at Santa
Monica with 19 pints of liquor in
his possession belongs in the same
general clasr.ltt-
-sitlon or news,
or synthetic
news, as the dis-
covery • few
vrii'i ago of
President fool-
idgc's custom of
tuking a canter
every morning on
r wlre-and-
leather work
horse, electrical
ly operated in h4v

Tlie a rrest of
Mr. Hoover's
brother • in • law
any, more real
importnnce than the news of Mr.
L'oolldge'a devotion to mechanical
horseback riding.
Nevertheless. lor every person who
takes a intld Interest In accounts of
the latest developments between
Japan and China in Manchuria, some-
thing like 100.1100 folk tool; an intcuse
interest In full details of the story of
Mr. Cool idgc's equestrian perform-
ances and still take an intense inter-
est in the final outcome of the liquor
. asc against Mr. Hoover s brother-in-
law.

and IT IS a fact that sto.les of
this sort do have a deal to ft toward
shaping tlie destinies of r 'bile men
m connection with whose careers
they pic ielated. Thu truth is. they
probably are more decisive than tho
records or political service to tho
country.
Some nr them are helpful; some
are hurtful.
Some are helpful to one tv pc of
politician and hurtful to another
tjpc; also vice versa.
For example, the mechanical horse
yarn at least would not have been
d'cimiging to tlie strenuous T. ft , In
his day In the White House. News-
paper renders doubtlessly would have
Dug bed at tt. hut they would
have laughed sympathetically, saying
"Good for Teddy," as they did so.
*■ was not so approprlativc an
anecdote to be told ol the dignili
New Englander and Mr. Coolldp
knew it. for there is 'nothing a nett
tlctan dreads uo much as tc be mndi
to appear ridiculous The meclinnknl
horse story could have been lacked
onto T. It. without making him an
pear so. but Mr. Coolidge was afraid
it would in his case He is known
to have declared mournfully, Indeed,
tlpil he considered that I ak the worn
tiling that had occurred lo him In
his political life time.
• « •
MB COOLI DUE, however, treated
the mechanical horse story exactly as
it needed to be treated.
Since lie could not do otherwise, he
treated it ns a joke on himself and
showed that he was aide to appre-
ciate it. It happened that I attended
one of hi? "conferences" with the
Washington correspondents a day or
so after tlie episode was broadcast to
the nation. “How are you, Mr. Prcst-
dent?" asked one of the reporters, as
the delegation flocked into the execu-
tive private office Calvin looked at
him sourly. Everyone was aware
how the tale of Ills matutinal stunt
lunl disgruntled It tin. “A little stiff ,
from horseback riding,” he squawked j
In his Cape Co* accent, whereat Urn j
correspondents guffawed and agreed |
that the president could “take it." j
anyway. I
Thus, in the long fun, maybe the j
whole thing actually was beneficial to I
him.
• * •
THE ARREST of Mr. Hoover's
brother-in-luw perhaps would have
been harder to laugh oiT, but it might
have hern done; to give a humorous
twist to dry law violations Is not al-
together an impossibility (except
where tragedy is involved) in this
era.
Instead, the White House treated
the matter seriously, if silently.
It did not treat it altogether si-
lently, either.
The intimation was given out that
the president’s friends were "In-
censed" nt Brother-in-law Leavltt'a
"advertisement" of his relationship-
ln-law. no matter what his predica-
ment.
The truth being that, In so tar as
appears from dispatches, Brother-in-
law Eonvitt did not so advertise him-
sett, but simply was known te his
neighbors as the husband of the pres
Kent's sister (us he naturally would
tic. In Ills home community).
Takes Stand Against Mt
Scott Project
Opposition to n federal pro-
ject involving the construction
of a toll road to the Peak of
Mount Scott, in the Wichita Na-
tional forest, such as had been
tentatively proposed, was express-
ed late Monday by Rep. Jed John-
son of the sixth Oklahoma con-
gressional district-
According to the word from
Washington, Representative John-
son in which district the proposed
project is located, said he had
not been consulted in regard
to the plan, but that he was
"unalterably opposed to toll
roads" Just as he Is to toll
bridges.
Rep. F. B. Swank, Norman, and
W. E. Disney, Tulsa, had pre-
viously expresssd their opposi-
tion to such a project, opposing
the development of the mountain
for commercia' purposes, the re-
port said-
