NEW YORK, July 17.—Edgar
Lee Masters, famous American
poet, doesn’t think much of Rud-
yard Kipling’s new poem.
He doesn’t think “recessional”
was such a bargain either.
The United Press last night
showed the "Spoon River Anthol-
ogy" poet a copy of Kipling’s lat- |
est effort.*
Masters studied the poem for a
while and finally observed with a
shrug:
“It’s nothing but verse—almost |
prose, in fact." -
“How does it compare with the

which are just as important.
First of these is the increase in U
| withdrawals of crude from stor-- • -
lage. You may have noticed about
a week ago when the Bureau of
Mines resumed its weekly reports
on total crude storage, the state-
ment was made that certain com-
pantes were induced to continue
sending in their figures with the
understanding that these figures
would be used only in compiling
the national totals, and would not |
be revealed separately.
The reason for this secrecy is
that several large companies are
now withdrawing considerable
amounts from stock; and are sell-
ing some of their current allow-
able. Under the code, they could
not do this. The reason for it was
plain. To withdraw crude from
storage lessens the demand to
that extent and requires more
rigid curtailment.
The effect is being felt already.
At a time when basic conditions
are excellent, when domestic de-
mand for gasoline is higher than
ever before, the crude market is
weak—Even—in theEast—Texas
Field, crude is not difficult to ob-
tain. Of course, the condition in
the Mirando district of Southwest
Texas is well known. If the com-
mission doesn’t curtail the allow-
able down there, some of the pipe-
line companies will be forced to do
their own prorating. Magnolia, at
