STEEPLEJACK'S RISKY JOB

Taking chances with lus Lite is an
old story to Steeplejack Louis Bing
ham, and he made light of the job of
untangling a flag on a pole jutting out
from the twenty-first story of the Mu

heavy snowstorm at the time made
Bingham's job a bit uncomfortable, but
he finally succeeded in untangling the
torn flag.
MERRY MUSIC MASKED AGONY
Sir Arthur Sullivan’s Self-Mastery Is
Cited as an Eloquent Inspiration
to Others.
At the time that he was composing
the music for "Pinafore.” one of the
merriest of operas. Sir Arthur Sullivan
was suffering from a most painful dis
ease. There was hardly an hour while
the work was on that he was not at
the verge of fainting.
If Sullivan could keep his labors
untainted by groans, how much easier
it must be for us who seldom experi
ence such sufferings. It takes but lit
the self discipline to keep irritation to
oneself, to force cheerfulness to main
tain the upperhand of depression, to
present a brave face to all about us.
The person who says that come what
may it shall find him unafraid has wor
the greatest thing in life, the mastery
of his own spirit.

PERSIA IS RICH IN OIL FIELDS
That’s Why Three of the Big Bellig
erent Nations Are After It—
Fields Only Scratched.
A three-cornered rush for Persia has
been on since the beginning of the
great war. The Germans, by hurry
ing their Bagdad line, sought to reach
the hapless Asian kingdom. Russia,
which once had maintained a virtual
protectorate over Persia, made a hard
drive against the Turks in an effort to
keep Persia from being overrun. The
British got in the ru’sn and launched
their Mcsop. amian expedition. Per
sia had suddenly become exceedingly
valuable. Why?
The report of the Anglo-Persian Oil
company (Ltd.) in London a few days
ago seems to contain the explanation.
C. Greenway. chairman and managing
director of the company, stated that
the company's accrued dividends
amounted to considerably more than
$3tXM»00. Ten-inch pipe lines had been
completed that permitted the ship
ment of 300.000.000 gallons of oil a
year, and additional pumping stations
are planned that will raise this to
3.000.000 tons. But the really signifi
cant statement was that the fields had
merely been scratched and that they
gave promise of furnishing enough oil
to fill a large portion, if not the
whole, of Great Britain’s enormous de
mand for petroleum products.
Mr. Greenway stated that it had be
come a matter of the “highest impe
rial importance" to safeguard the de
velopment of the fields.
Very Much So.
