SAYS SERIOUS SITUATION MAY
ARISE

With supply Of fuel oil on hand

Brownsville light and water department
il confronted with situation that may
become serious within few days. The
Magnolit Petroleum company which
has the contrnct 10 supply the Browns.
villt pant, has notified Superin'tend-
cnt i. H. Williams that the company
is not receiving any oil from Mexico on
account Of the war situation in the oil
field, and may have to default in its
contracts
Several oil bargcS have b cn expected
hy the company and were supposed to
have been en- route from the oil fields
but nothing has be II heard from them.
The company ventures no reason for the
delay in the arrival of the bargcS. but
il is bell we'd to he caused by activity of
COnStitutionaliStS in the oil fields
around TuXpam and TampicO.
Supcrntcnd mt Williams upon re
ccipt of the letter from the company.
Immediately got busy and figured up
that Their was approximately 4 supply
on hand that would keep the boilers run
ming for twelve days.
Mr.. Williams intended to 20 TO Cor
puS Christi this morning to see if he
could obtain supply from that source
but az tn. re was 10 train service he
could not make the trip. The long dis
tanrc telephones today to Corpus Chris
ii today were also out Of working order
but the Supcrint ndcnt GOT busy with
the telegraph. and was informed from
Corpus Christi that no oil could be had
from that source.
However. Mr. Williams bought 4 car
Of oil from Fort Worth but il will take
two we ks and possibly longer for it
To reach Brownsville He is also getting
in connection with other sources of up
ply and may be able to overcome the
difficulty.
If the oil supply runs entirely out
before a new supply of oil is received
wood can be used. but the expense of
this ful in this section is great for a
power plant

the fact that some of the social leaders,
both abroad and here, have followed the
fad of gloveless hands aud arms with
evening apparel both last winter and
this, it has yet to become a general fash

criticism.
Beyond the peculiar detail that evening
gowns lack sleeves there is but little sim

cut very low and v SHAPED, but the
manner Of composing the corsage to
