Done in Oil vt' The state department of geology and mineral . industries (what a ponderous title!) warns in ' vesters against tunsound promotional oil.1 ven tures." Evidently promoters think "si new. crop of suckers has been born, as no doubt it has, since the heyday of the 1920's. And what in this ' century has had such a lure as oil? This source -of quick wealth has taken the place of gold ' which' in the previous century drew thousands of prospectors 4o California, to Colorado, to Nevada, to the Yukon.. It Is easier to prospect for oil too in the mddera manner One merely buys stock in some oil promotion, and then sits . back to wait for the gusher of oil and of divi- ; dends. ; With $22 billions of currency afloat, with savings banks swollen with one percent money, with waxk bonds in..eyery home, the materials are injhand for a season of goose-plucking. The sharpers who devise ways to separate people from their money will scheme to get their hands -on this accumulation of wealth, and what bet ter bait than oil stock? : .. . ' Alas, for the promoters, there are many bar- racades put JnAtheir way; by government for -the protection , of the unsophisticated investor. In this state only1 registered and qualified en gineers are. permitted to make official reports on oil or mineral prospects. Stocks can be sold ' only afters registration with the corporation' commissioner, and- m conformity , with his re quirements. The custom of thls department is to have a report from the department of geology indicating a favorable prospect in the lands' be ing developed. So the state goes' just as far 'as it can to insure investors a "run for their money. j : . U---t---::r t ; ; It would be aj mistake : however to regard qualification of securities as any guarantee that the venture will prove profitable.' There are still the risks as to amount of oil or mineral to be found and, of expenses of operation. Only tjtiose who can afford to lose should gamble in speculative enterprises such as wildcat oilwells , or mining prospects. -. - f ." ? : ' : . I? At the same tim unless there is adventure and speculation, business becomes sterile. ' We niust havea. constant flow of capital' into new enterprise. That is' ihe way our gains have been obtained. 'Both the prospector and the. one who grubstakeV.him are necessary for our progress though ; today these, figures are less colorful than in the storied -past.

(These reports mention a number of factors. wWh would seem to Indicate such a purpose on -the part of the German high command depart-. ture of fascist officials, Increasingly effective ac- ' ?city by Italian resistance groups, apparent with- ; rawal'bf some German troops, diminishing sup ply shipments into Italy. , A withdrawal would lower the German prestige ' somewhat at home and - in the satelite countries, ut most of tha prestige which wts concerned with' Italyr disappeared when the allies entered Kome.

" . , - News Behind The News By PATJlj MALLON ' CHICAGO, June- 29 This coming Dewey presi dential campaign is likely to surprise the country. Not unlike the earlier Mr. Roosevelt he has novel ideas (though not the" same ideas.) He does not work in political grooves, is far from party bound. ' He scares the oldtime politicians a little, because his methods . are different, although his inside rec ord at this convention shows sur prisingly few mistakes. s To give you the closeup picture, consider his, designation of a wo man as his leader on the platform committee. Lawyers and politicos haggle hours over words in these platform meetings and this time . sat up all night at it as usual ' A sharpster in words is usually a candidate s. choice lor that task. Dewey chose -small, pleasant gray haired Miss Mary Donlin, a " New York attorney, to represent him. She was last out of the' meeting at 5:30 a. m. But to go deeper than this example, there were three factions within that committee as . indeed within this whole convention not. Deweyites. Bricker boys, Stassen men; etc., but a group of senators, a clan of governors and a third crowd . of just plain delegate political workers from back home. v ,; The governor's clan, representing 26 states, con- -siders itself more important politically than- the . senators, and got its gunjptlon up to such an ex- '' tent that the senators listen to them. I ' However governors are not up on the national issues to the extent : that) the - senators are, who' , handle them daily. In fact the governors seemed to" have little to complain about and apparently they just wanted recognition for themselves rather ; than any special viewpoint In this conflict, Dewey seems to have largely let the senators write the declaration of party princ-' iples. Taft of Ohio, Danaher of Connecticut and Millikin of Colorado did most of it .Through Miss Donlin and otherwise, Dewey exercised mainly a negative influence, vetoing: words, phrases, some ideas. Actually this platform is just the party's prepara tion for the candidate to take over. Some political assayers are now reading great hidden meanings into- the thinly shaved words which were adopted. As usuaV and particularly in the case of the foot loose Mr. Dewey, they are wasting their time What he reads 'into tile platform," especially what he wants to do about it later is what the platform will be. ; . ' . i " "-: ;t..?..',,..;'.:..:;,,-:v: .-A One sentence particularly awaits his interpreta tion, the one promising that the world organization will take - "effective cooperative means to , direct peace forces to prevent or repel military aggres sion." Police force, directly or indirectly? Sovere ignity. Some experts think this phrase is a sleep ing termite in the international plank. . At any rate Dewey is not the type to be content with generalities and phrase compromises when he sits in the top chair. Personally I expect him to be a lot more liberal than the country suspects. I think he will strive, for an enlightened common sense liberalism as distinct from the sheer political liberalism which thinks for instance a poll tax, is still important (I mean the Willkie type of political ' liberalism.) It will champion greater social security, for instance, and more state medical' aid: instead of the New Deal's socialized medicine. . On international, affairs, I expect . him to be neither internationalist nor Isolationist I think his goal is "realism," realism In regard to Russia, to the rise of Communists in European leadership, in. regard to British empire trade necessities, consider- ing the developments which will arise in connection with a world organization. ' .' ' On the surface of the platform adopted here and Dewey's international declarations, there appears to be democratic-republican unity on foreign policy, but this is only a mutual acceptance of democratic principles (sovereignty, etc.) There will be a break between "Roosevelt and Dewey on these matters when the administration starts applying these principles in action. I doubt if Dewey will consider them in accord with the formula. ' His labor stand will likewise surprise you." The CIO political action crowd . has made the front pages look like Dewey is anti-labor. Fact is he ' has gotten along well with union labor in New York state. What he did . not get along with was the radical element in and out of labor. , Now the radicals peculiarly in this campaign are ' idealistically in the same boat as reactionaries, in cluding the international bankers. " ? " Both the leftist and conservatives wanted "one World", or -"union vow," a world state, a quart of milk a day, etc. Between these two is great por tion of labor and also the average citizen. The . American Federation, of Labor, for instance, is ideologically, Just about where I expect Dewey will wind up on labor (strongly anti-communist) On the other issues in the head of the man in ' the street although these are) not realy issues,, ex- ..cept as politicians have made -political footballs of them, I have heard a New York republican leader! claim Dewey vill get a million Jewish votes in New York City and much intellectual nero support He has a nucleus of a working organization ready to start Ills advisers generally have long been chosen are in the crowd around hixn now. r It is possible they may become too clanish as the - carrpa'ci develops, and too lawyerish but they will have to xtly In- nexly all the states ca the local rcputran organizations (he has no state political leaders cf Lis own) and this no douht will rrtYtnt his men frora becoming too independent Rear Seat Driver Today's.

One pulls the stalk out of the bulb . after the flowers have faded v- and heels in the stem. In a few months little bulbs will form in the axils of the leaves. It is said not to injure the bulb. .Sometimes bulblets form in ; the upper leaf -axils of the stalks if they are left growing. These . may be removed before they drop to the ground, planted, and . in two or three years will bloom. ' Propagation may also be done : by removing a few of the outer scales of bulbs and j planting them in tows about two Inches apart and 1 inches deep in light soil. After a while one or more little bulbs will form at the base of each scale where it was Inoken off. In two or three " years they will bloom. - Raising them from seed is in teresting but requires patience, particularly 'in the ease of the Madonna lily. -The regal : lily grows quite readily from seed. . The Madonna lily; has to be hand-fertilized.
