THIRD GUSHER IN Gardner Says Pupil Must Be
PECOS POOL Understood By Teacher
PAGE 8 —THE TOUT WORTH PRESS—FEBRUARY 88, 1927-
B O O TBLACK8 GO
ON STRIKE
DOHENY LEASES
200 Feet Deeper, Flow Is
Running Wild
With Mid-Kansas Oil and Uas
Co.’s No. 1 Yates, Account 2, run-
ning wild Sunday, Pecos County's
third gusher in a shallow pool
looked like big gold Monday.
The well, which began flowing
by heads Friday, has been partly
shut In after blowing off control
heads with its great pressure.
Yates No. 1, Account 2, is 200
feet deeper than No. 2, drilling at
1218 feet, it Is expected to be as
good a producer as the gusher
which has held the spotlight lu
West Toxas for more than a week.
Location Is In Section 61, Block
1, l&GN survey. Storage facil-
ities are said to be far too Inade-
quate for the producer oil men be-
lieve will develop.
The big well of the three Pecos
County strikes, Y’ates Mo. 2, Is
riowlng slightly under 6000 bar-
rels, after making a record last
week with 6800 barrels after an
easy start.
Drilling Will
Be Accelerated
Drilling is expected to receive
an impetus In most parts of West,
Central and Panhandle Texas dis-
tricts during the coming week.
While West Texas has shown
steady gains in its production for
several weeks, no direct letup is
expected, In view of the Pecos
County strikes, and the rapid leas-
ing of acreage in the surrounding
territory.
OH men believe that one of the
boat pools in the State is being
opened up with the discoveries on
the Y'ates property by Mid-Kansas
Oil &. Gas Co., and Transcontinen-
tal.
Gradual Increase,
Eastland County, whose latest
producers were brought in by
Gholson In its Duffer wells, was
showing a gradual Increase both
in production and in acreage ac-
tivity.
Conditions in the Panhandle
territory are still uncertain as the
week starts. Despite the fact that
Carl A. Gardner, principal of
the North Fort Worth High
School, will talk on “High School
Teacher Appraisement by the Pu-
tloual High School Principals'
Association Tuesday afternoon at
the National Education Associa-
tion Tuesday afternoon at the
Scottish Rite Cathedral, Dallas.
Gardner Is president of the
Texas High School Principals and
Supervisors' organization.
Data for the talk was obtained
thru questionalres sent to 11 Tex-
as high schools, in Texarkana,
Haskell, Stamford, Arlington, Fort
Worth and Dallas, ranging in size
from 100 to 1500 pupils. Gardner
will point out that the pupil must
bo "understood'’ before he can be
effectively taught. Gardner found i
out from his Investigation that a
high per cent of high school pu- [
pits, especially girls, believe teach- j
ers have "pets,’’ a trait mentioned i
largely by students making low !
grades. Good traits the pupils!
listed as desirable for teachers In-1
eluded: Fairness, interest In pu-j
pll, kindness, clearness in explana-
tions and assignments, frlendll- j
ness, patience, impartiality, flrru-
; ness liberally strict, good appear-1
i ance, sense of humor, good tern-1
per, scholarship and breadth.
Dislike for Teachers.
About one-half the students told
of knowing pupils who left school
because of dislike for teachers.
Teachers who “put life into” their
teaching inspire more work from
students, according to answers re-
ceived on the questionalres.
Undesirable teachers were de-
scribed in the answers as unkind
and grouchy, high tempered and
nervous, unreasonable, belittling
and never commending, domineer-
ing and indefinite In Instruction,
no interest In profession. Impatient
and unfair, undemocratic, dishon-
est, vain, discourteous and no In-
terest or lack of understanding
for pupils.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. — A
Congressional show worth top
prices is to be staged In the House
Friday, when Congress closes.
House leaders had consented to
a return of the practice of ending
a Congress with music, songs and
general merriment.
The crack navy band will assist.
The band, stationed In the lobby
adjoining the chamber, Is sched-
uled to begin a concert 15 min-
utes before adjournment at noon.
Old favorites, Including "Swauee
River," "Yankee Doodle" and
"Dixie,” are to be played.
W h e n Speaker Longwortli
swings his gavel at noon to de-
clare adjournment, the band will
accompany him with "Auld Lange

Those planning the celebration
are content to let their arrange-

U. S. Supreme Court today can-
celled E. L. Doheny’e leases on the
famous Elk Hills naval oil reserve
In California.
These oil rights, worth untold
j millions, were granted to two
Doheny companies by Secretary
j of the Interior A. B. Fall and Sec-
retary of the Navy Denby in re-
turn for promise to construct and
fill a naval oil depot at Pearl Har-
bor, Hawaiian Island naval buse. I
Decision of the San Francisco

dating the leases and contracts to j
build, on grounds of fraud and !
i lack of authority, und ordering |
the companies to pay the Govern- I
incut approximately $10,000,000
for oil taken from Elk Hills, was I
affirmed.
This civil case was brought' by
the Government as a result of the
Senatorial oil investigation of
1923-24, along with a similar an-
nulment suit against the lease ob-
tained by Harry F. Sinclair on
Teapot Dome naval reserve and a
criminal Buit against Fall, Doheny
and Sinclair, for alleged conspir-
acy to defraud the Government.
This case was regarded as most
important, because it fjrst reached
the Supreme Court for a final de-
cision.
Today's decision was final.
There Is no appeal, except for a
rehearing by the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—
Great Britain today accepted Pres- j
ident Coolldge’s proposal for a
five-power naval limitation con-1
ference. In making public the
British note, State Department of-
ficials said they considered It u
categorical acceptance. The note
said the matter of ratios and the
relation of the conference tJ the
preparatory disarmament commis-
sion would require adjustment.
Earlier rejection of the plan by
France and Italy has turned the
administration’s hope to the al-
ternative Coolidge plan for n
three-power agreement will begin
soon. It is expected, tho officials
here are only mildly optimistic of
success.

Russia was on record today ae
holding Great Britain to blame for !
"abnormal relations" between the
two nations.
England "declines to use usual
diplomatic standards or even ole-
mentary courtesy toward the So-
viet,” said a note from-the Moscow
government, replying to the recent j
British note warning Russia
against spreading propaganda
against Britain In China and else-
where.
Russia declared, however, that
she would henceforth follow a
peaceful policy of non-aggression,
and expressed the hope that Brit- :
ain would reciprocate.
In reply to the British note's
quotations from speeches and ar-
ticles of Soviet officials attacking
Britain, the note quoted a speech
by Lord Birkenhead terming So-
viet citizens "a band of murder-\
era and bandits." It also referred
to speeches of Winston Churchill
and other British officials, and
added the Soviet would consider it
improper "to seek an explanation
