Involving the question as to whether
the Gulf company is monopoly and
therefore operating in restraint OF

reasonable restraint of trade. Today's
opinion was by Justice McKenna and
affirmed the Oklahoma court of high

There is always a row in the high

the annual spring dances are sent out,
and of course they are usually about
a girl; one chap will insist upon a
certain girl getting an invitation and
another, who imagines that he has been
"stung" by her at some time or other,
says if she is asked he won't play.
But he is usually talked around by the
other boys and gives up with pretty
good grace. Not SO with the girls.
When a member of a sorority has it in

doom as far as invitations to her par
