Lease. Besides the Teapot Dome oil reserve in Wyoming, whilom Secretary of the Interior Albert Bacon Fall leased to Oilman Harry Ford Sinclair a tract adjacent to Teapot Dome on the north, in the field known as Salt Creek. Some 42 miles north of Casper, Wyo., the Salt Creek field is bigger than Teapot Dome. Its 2,000 wells produce some 38,000 bbls. per day, about 19 times the output of the 63 wells in Teapot Dome...

Serious minded people might dig up several quotations like the well-known one of Professor Marquand to the effect that the Harvard Stadium is architecture, that of his own university, very satisfactory engineering. Scientists might be called in to measure the wear and tear of the last twenty-five years with delicate instruments in order to ascertain the extent of the Stadium's dilapidation. Some pained group of alumni might even ask for a retraction. But undergraduates with their happy indifference will do better to take Time for the rusty little organ it is and discard its serious avowals...
