For the common man, it was a roman tic interlude in a life of deadly dull ness and suppression. He welcomed it, more or lens; much as a. man with the toothache welcomes any sort of action which enables him to forget his pain. Conditions today, on the aver age, are reversed. In the more en lightened countries, there is liberty and freedom of action for the im!l lldunl, and a general high level of comfort and happiness in peace. War Is a reversion to tyranny. It Is deadly and dirty and altogether terrible. It Is something to be avoided. If possible. 'T'lIKSr; changes In the funda mental conditions of average living, even more than confer ences for the limitation of arma ments, have a tendency to put an end to war. or at leant to make war less frequent. Put in Mexico these changes have not been operative, or at the most they have been operative to a comparatively slit-lit degree. The common man there is still down trodden and put upon. His daily life is a dull level of monotony. He is alv.ays Just one jump ahead of starvation.

Senator Walsh of Mon tana expressed his belief that the administration's oil conservation policy is much broader ln Bcope than w as assumed upon Its dis closure yesterday at the White House. The senator said the president's program contemplated the grant ing of leases to holders of oil prospecting permits only In those cases where the permit ees have M made reasonable expenditures In drillng wells. There are .Ili.tMHl permits affect ing the public domain now out standing and the percentage of the holders who have made such reasonable expenditures as con teinplsted tinder the general leas ing is believed to be rather small. The policy of the administration, as Senator Walsh now understands it, alsfi contemplates no leases of land adjacent to that which may be leased to prospectors who strike oil. The senator holds that the act of April. l!2o, contemplat ed the leasing of such lands so as to bring about the development of fairly large fields In each case. As a further meaaure of con serving the government oil in the ground, the administration will grunt leases for the drilling of off set wells on the public domain to prevent drainaice of government oil through wells on adjacent terrl- tory. o THREE MEN SHOT IN ATTEMPTED HOLDUP SALT I AU l" f'lTV Mur 11 A robber who gave his name as Frank Watson, of Denver, was shot through the body; Patrolman Wal ter Griffin was shot through the stomach, and Louis Grossman, a pawnshop proprietor, was shot in the wrist in an attempted holdup of two loan offices here today.

Company's Own Agreement Is Based on Six Hour Test Against Heat and Tools. Failure of the JhII Installed ln file new court house by the South ern Prison company to withstand the 6 hour security test provided in the specifications may result in the rejection of the cell front, requiring the installation of an en tire new set of bars for the main cages. The specifications provide that the steel bars used til the main cell front must he equal in hard ness to the sample I mulshed by the company In submitting Its bid and m u nl be able to withstand a 6-hour test against heat, chisels and hacksaw blades. Carl I.un deen and Alvin Cloake, county chauffeurs and mechanics suc ceeded yesterday in cutting their way out of (lie cages in less than 5 hours, removing bars from two of the panels. It is customary with the South ern Prison company, ufter the eel I a have been placed, to subject the jail to the test provided for In the contract. This Is made as a puir lic test and demonstration and is used to display thu complete se curity which these jails are sup p'wed to give. This Is I he first time, according to Wm. Itartletl, the foreman, thul the burs have ever been cut. The inch ami a quarter bars used In the cell front are of ex ceptional hardness being of tool steel. supposedly of sufficient hardness to withstand hacksaw blades for a period of six hours or1 more, the test alfo permits heat ing the metal wlih a gasoline torch if desired.
