ALL APPLICATIONS FROM

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1e.-Al appiica-
tions for tho patenting of lands in tho
oil country of California are being held
up by the government until it Is def
initely ascertaIped TINT the lands do
not contain oil or until congress makes
some provision for their disposal.
The difficulties OF ascertaining whether
lands contain oil arc greater than those
experienced In examining lands for min
erals, IL was said at tho interior depart
ment today. Cases have been known
where geologists have examined lands
and reported them as not containing oil.
although within few months oil gush-
ers would appear.
The necessity for some action by con-
gress in regard to the California oil
lands will be called to the attention Of
that body at the coming session.

razor, the court limited that Canto's
motive for carrying the knife could not
be the best.

CHINESE YOUTHS APPEAL
DENIED BY HIGH COURT

The district court OF appeal yester-
day denied the appeal of Mills Sing,
the Chinese youth awaiting trial In the
superior court on a charge of wronging
a white Girl. Sings appeal was based
on section 26 of the juvenile law, at
tacking the wording in regard to those
responsible for contributing to the de-
linduency of a minor child. His at
torneys, George McKeeby and Paul
Schenck, claimed in the petition that
the wording of the law as 1T reads ap-
plies only to the parents or guardians
of a delinquent child, and that there
fore the Chinese youth was not respon-
sible for the delinquency of the girl.

Skatina All Around Town.

81 say, Maude well skate down
town tonight"
And that's what they're doing in
Norfolk these days-or rather, these
nights.
Cement sidewalks have revolution
lied a good many things besides dis
positions. They've revolutionized the
methods of transportation. And the
school boy and-yes. and some Of the
grown up girls, are skating every
where they go.
You'll see them skate into a store
to do their Saturday night shopping.
They won't skate while they're in
the store, perhaps, but they'll skate
to it and skate home again after
they've spent their money.
You'll see small boys skating like
the very deuce toward school, trying
to beat the tardy bell. You'll see
News boys carrying their papers to
Norfolk homes, on skates. They climb
up on the porches, mar the paint, and
skate away again like flash.
And great, big grown.up girls, aged
% or so, will go skating down town,
arm in arm, just as if they were in
some fairy land and oblivious to all
the sordid conventionalties that bind
up the worlds ways of living.
And they seem to like their skates
just as much as the men like theirs.
They claim the next mornings head
ache isn't so bad though.
