Now that the local association of business men, or- | ganized for the purpose of securing title to Section| 16 adjoining the city, has been entirely successful; the) primary object of the transaction—to aid the Stand- ard Oil Company in its extensive home building pro- ject will soon take definite shape. The purpose of the Standard is to erect some two hundred homes, connecting them up with water, sew- er, light and other necessary facilities, in fact build a completely modern residence section and then sell the homes to their employes at cost on very favorable terms. The magnitude of the undertaking will en- able the company to bring down the cost to a very re- spectable figure, and the employes will have an op- portunity not only to establish themselves in good jobs but in good homes as well Such moves as this go far to disabuse the minds of those who have held a contrary view, that large corporations are selfish and give little heed to the welfare of their employes. The Standard never could be rightfully so charged, as almost every employe, the country over, can testify out of his own expe- rience. The Standard realizs that avhigh «class employe, paid good wages, surrounded by good working and living conditions, renders the best service and is the best investment a corporation.can make because such an employe becomes a good citizen gets on in the world, is contented with himself and the world, has the confidence of the company and becomes more than a mere employe. y ‘While the Standard’s plan id new to Casper other big corporations have had suctess:in similar enter- prises elsewhere. Such undertakings on account. ofemployes estab- lishes a sort of family relation which most large con-| cerns have come to regard as tending to better un-} derstanding and more congenial relations between the executive and operating departments of business. There is one feature in the present situation of in- dustry that is particularly encouraging. The reason- ableness, which all parties concerned, bring to bear upon the questions with which they are confronted in the readjustment of the business in which they are concerned. Sate eae SAID A MOUTHFUL. “Uncle Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury, talking under protest and with reluctance,” says the Chicago Tribune, ‘said half a dozen sentences, and said everything. He said there was no one vital prob- lem; there were several—taxation, tariff, and a budget to keep down expenditures when the govern- ment had raised the funds. “He said that financial distress and maladjustment were world-wide phenomena, and he said: ‘I do not expect that the United States can return to a normally prosperous condition until conditions improve abroad.” Of foreign loans he said: ‘I think that is a closed book.’ “All this is the eloquence of the obvious. The United States cannot return’to the normal of its pros- perity until conditions have improved abroad. What- ever is done abroad to prevent the improvement of conditions is done against the return of the United States to normal prosperity. Uncle Andrew Mellon has said it. “An English naval writer in a book written before the war said that the mistake of the French policy al- ways had been that it was expansion with the sword. The British expanded by trade and with traders. The French expanded with soldiers. “The result was that French’ imperialism lacked stability and substance and the British traders took away territory into which French soldiers had pre- ceded them. This was the history of India ‘and Canada. | “The French operate on military theories and the British on commercial theories. The French’ think in a military sense and they progress by military meth-| ods, but they do not progress toward stability. Their expansion is by war and their contraction is by war. The sword wins an empire, but it crumbles. evertheless, the French adhere to the military| idea and they have not now departed from it. It is| the basis of their policy. They now have a larger| army than they had before the war and it is their policy, which the British are compelled to support, which is employing soldiers against Germany. “Germany and Russia are the sick parts of the world which will not get well until they get well. The French remedy in both cases is military action which prolongs the disease. The French eagerly backed the various counter revolutions in Russia, which had only the eff f making Russians support the Reds be- were attacked as Russians. “The French created Poland as a military power and the Folish aggression against Russia built up Rus- sian support of the soviet government. It is a French military policy which resulted in the formation of small, economically dependent states in central Eu- rope, granted national expression at the expense of their ability to live “The French drove the sword into every problem| and decided for the sword and by it. he reconstruc-| tion of central Europe was not to permit economic re- storation, to prevent military development. | “In the case of Germany it is not important, in French opinion, that Germany should become again a ¢ f healthy part of a healthy world, but that Germany shall neyer become again a nation competent for mili- tary action. “All the French think about is’ the military need of France, For military ‘purposes they want the west bank ef the Rhine and in pursuance of that policy have led their army and the British and Belgian armies to the bank. 5 “They want, for military reasons; to disconnect Germany's resources and industries so that they never again can be organized in a military effort. What may be sound policy for the military defense of France is unsound policy for the economic ‘restora- tion of the world. The French want the Ruhr basin and the Saar valley. They know that so long as Ger- man industries are crippled and so long as German re- sources are drained the German industrial organiza- tion cannot support @ war, “They know that if Germany gets an industrial re- vival it will grow strong again and thet the: fact it has no navy and has few soldiers does not keep it from having potential srilitary strength. “This is the world’s dilemma. It cannot get well until Germany gets well, and the French fear that if Germany gets well it also will get dangerous. “Uncle Andrew Mellon said it all. ‘I do not ex- pect that the United States can return to a normally prosperous condition until conditions improve abroad.’ But he did not tell us what is to be done about it.” ———— 0. Before Mr. Wilson can hang out his shipnle as a lawyer, he must successfully pass an examination in the usual way. If he ever did practice law he has not done so within the past five years, so that will shut him out, RNB oe Sa AMERICAN LEGISLATURES. Aside from baseball we also have the American legislature as an institution of sport. We derive as |much enjoyment from one as we do the other; and the one outstanding feature of both games is that no one takes either seriously except those actually en- gaged in the performance. The New York Mail has said on the subject: 4 “American tradition is that violent reform can be had by law. The legislature is the perfect factor for violent reform. "Much violence is proposed to the legisjature. Little violence comes from it... There have been gestures, free expression, much declama- tion, play of arms and tongue, and a resultant nothing. “In arriving at this negative result, so badly need- ed by the community which might be upset by radical changes, there may have been some graft, much hu- man nature, many influences of political dishonesty, 4 Question Box (Any reader can get the answer to any question by writing The Casper Daily Tribune Information Bureau, Frederic J Haskin, Director, Wash- ington, D.

What kind would you ‘adyvise?—H. D. W. A. The Department of Agriculture suggests that black walnut trees be used for this purpose. Demand for this wood for war purposes depleted the number of trees and this would be an appropriate way of filling their places. Black walnut was used for gunstocks and airplane propellers, the nut shells contributed carbon for gas masks, while the nut meats were used in cakes and candies for the boys in the service. Q. Do the Chinese eat much su- gar?—M. V. R. A. While the average consumption of other countries is 86 pounds of su- gar a year for each person, in China it is but three pounds. Q. How should mail be addressed in order to catch a boat going thru the Panama Canal?—J. H. W. A. Mails for ships passing thru the canal or touching at either of the terminal ports should be addressed to “Cristobal, Canal Zone.’* Q. Does the palate assist in talk- ing? If so, how?—O. P, S. A. the teeth, the hard palate, and the interior walls of the cheeks mure- ly serve as resonating surfaces in the process of language formation, and hence are sometimes termed theAmerican homes, no se! properly include only the tongue, the lips, and the soft palate. Q. How many states have Indian names?—D. F. G, i A. Twenty-three of the states have names derived from the Indian tongue. Q. What causes the most firest— A. Electricity has been the chtet enuse of fire loss in the last five years, matches and smoking being second, and defective chimneys third, Q. Is a mile Jonger than a kilom- eter?—B. N. Z. A. An English mile is longer than a kilometer, being equal to 1,609 ki- lometers, Q. Must a man be dead to be elect- ed to the Hall of Fame?—H. ©, B, "A. A person must have been dead 10 years to be eligible to clection in the “Hall of Fame.” Q. ‘What American shipyard turn ed out the most vessels during the war?—A. M. P. A, The Hog Island shipyard stood first In shipbuilding during the war. Q. Are diamonds affected by heat? —E. E. W. A. The Geological Survey « says that diamonds heated in an ordinary temperature obtained in an average fire will not be affected ‘f only the atmosphere of the air is present. If heated in an atmosphere of oxygen, however, they will burn. a. How many gorillas are in cap- tivity in the United States?—K. E. W.| A. So far as we are able to asce: tain there are no gorillas in captiv- ity in the United States at the pres- ent time. The New York zoo did have one for a number of months, but it died some time ago. Q. How many people in the United States keep house servants?—H. s. A. The last census on occupations showed that in 93% per cent | of ts wero " —_—_—.___— 0 NEW COAL PROJECT.

These the legislature blandly receives and rejects. It has served as a method of expression and repression and its greatest service is in what it does not do.” jE BO a LS A New York owner of apartments and tenements gave his occupation, in filling up his tax schedule, as “going to court.” Under the New York renting stat- ute his tenants had evidently kept him busy. ye 4 OUR FRENCH VISITOR. Former Premier Rene Viviani of the French repub+ lic is coming to America. He will. bear the felicita- tions of his government and people, to , their good friends on this side of the ocean, During his visit there will be a great many things the president and senate will doubtless desire come first hand informa- tion. upon and there is no one better qualified to fur- nish it than the former premier. France has ardently desired the association of the Washington government in the final settlement of European questions, but realizes that we cannot in- jYolve ourselves under the impossible league of na- tions as now constituted. More especially since our people have repudiated it and placed in power the statesmen who opposed it. For the immediate future the United States will be completely engrossed in adjusting her own domestic problems. Once they are settled, it is not doubted we shall do what we properly may for our friends and late comrades in arms to aid them in establishing cer- tain peace and good order in their lands. The visit of the distinguished French statesman will be productive of much good toward a better under- standing among the nations. And if Mr. Harding and the foreign relations committee of the senate and Mr. Secretary Hughes have plans for establishing inter- national relations to insure peace to oll peoples found- ed upon American ideas of righteousness, it will be an excellent occasion during the sojourn of our good friend, . 0.

An auto bumped him in the shins; A horse stepped on his face. A car ran o’er his portside hip And knocked it out of place. A safe fell down from out the sky And landed on his chest; Caved'in a dozen ribs and. tore Six buttons from his vest. But when he sued for damages And finally got them, why, His friends all murmured solemnly, “Gee, he’s a lucky guy!” —Cartoons Magazine, ——_o— THE OUTLAW PETS.
