This is it: Why in the world is he appointing the Hon, ex-Senator Frank Kellogg to be ambassador to Great Britain? For his ability? The public hasn't discerned any spe- cial ability for the work. From friendship? There has been no past evidence of friendship, In reward for party serv- ices? He was one of the close counselors who guided the Harding band-wagon — and its 7,000,000 majority—into the ditch. As a political move? Well, consider what the effect of this appointment will be upon that section of the United States which has any real in- terest in the Minnesota man, Not only did the re- publicans of his own great 3 state a few short months ago . PD we walk straight out of the Frank B. Kellogg party to show what, they think of Kellogg, but progressive citizens from all the States of the Northwest crossed over the border to add their voices to the rebuke. Kellogg stands for just ex- actly what the people of his own section do not want. There is no popular politics served by honoring him. As for “inside politics,” he has the slightest of influence ‘among the leaders. * No, the public is completely puzzled. One wag sug- gests that, as a golfer, Kellogg is accustomed to short pants. Until the president produces a better reason, that may have to serve. Thousands, probably in hopes of seeing a player plano burn, rushed to a St. Louis warehouse fire. In Rome, a man who stole a kiss was given castor oil, which ts nothing to smack his lips over.

Hunters climbing fences with loaded guns are hunting accidents. Going, Going, Gone! Uncle Sam has an oil-burning navy, the first line of de- ‘fense. Oil reserves set aside under Presidents Roosevelt "and Wilson were to provide the navy fuel in time of need. | President Harding appointed his cloge friend, Senator ‘Albert Bacon Fall, as secretary of the interior and trans- ferred the naval oil reserves to Fall’s care. Today, with ‘the exception of some shale deposits of doubtful value, we have no naval oil reserves. _ Teapot Dome and the lease Fall gave privately to his friend, Harry F. Sinclair, is the last step in the grand march of private monopoly over the public’s naval oil re- es. Fall has been wonderfully successful—from the Private exploiter’s point of view. > Roosevelt pioneered in oil-burning ships, after both Dewey and Edison had urged them. Soon, with the arms ‘conference scrapping program carried out, we will have Nothing but oil burners in the first line of defense. Roosevelt foresaw also the danger, if the government the oi] magnates a strangle hold on naval operations In time of war by failing to develop its own sources of oil fuel. If private oil supplies are depleted—and the known supplies are slipping to make oil magnates richer "—and war comes, then our navy will have to depend on foreign oil supplies. Not a pleasant prospect. But it Roosevelt, true to conservation policies, set out terri- known to contain oil and held it for the navy, two Tesources in California, and one in Wyoming. President “Wilssi came along and defied the oil industry when it tried to compel him to open the reserves to private ex- itation. The industry quit and waited until President ing came into office. _ Shortly thereafter, an executive order transferred the mayal oil reserves from the navy department to Fall as secretary of the interior. Soon the first naval oil re- serve in California went to the Standard Oil and Doheny interests. The second went to Standard Oil and South- » ern Pacific Railroad interests. The third, Teapot Dome, ' went to Sinclair-Standard Oil interests. __ Now the government has only the shale deposits ‘Teft, unless the government scientists discover oil in Alaska and develop methods of extracting it and han- dling it satisfactorily for time of crisis. And Fall, just before he retired, invited the Standard Oil company to ‘begin drilling in government oil reserves in Alaska. iGoing, going, gone!

The goodness of food fried in Wesson Oil is due to the goodness of Wesson Oil—pure, delicate, good-to-eat salad oil. "The wholesomeness of food fried in Wesson Oil is not only because Wesson Oil is wholesome itself, but also because it can be heated hot enough to fry perfectly without burning. ; At the right temperature for frying most fats burn and ‘‘break down’’. Poor fat or this burned fat is not easily digested and is responsible for t!:e idea that fried food is not wholesome. But Wesson Oil can be heated hot enough to fry perfectly long before it burns—and with reasonable care the food you fry in Wesson Oil is just as wholesome and as digestible as any other way you could cook it, * Maybe this good-natured looking gentleman will be Head chief executive a before long.
