OIL men Or STATE To
DISCUSS NEW LAW

Oklahoma City. Okla, Feb. 24.--lt
is understood that meeting of oil
producers will be held in this city this
week, at wnicn discussion will be had
as to the probable effect Of the new
conservation law and possible arrange
ments made for a test of the statute
either in the Gushing or the Healdton
field, probably in the former, as the
situation there is more conducive to
such proceedings.
So far there has been nothing done
aither by the producers who favor the
law, those who are against 1t or the
persons who are not producers, but
Interested in the price of the product.
Neither has hte corporation commits
sion done anything toward making or
ders or otherwise seeking to bring the
law into active operation The de-
noralzed condition of the market is
one good excuse for not doing any
thing, as there is no more production
now than the producers have to make,
md the incentive to produce has gone
down in ratio to the lower price of oil.
1t seems probable that a movement
to get the producers into line with a
view to maintaining the price through
limitation of production will be the
first movement in the conservation
plan, and that resort to the law as a
means of enforcing such agreement
will come only when other measures
have fallen down.

HISTORY A TURBULENT ONE
Since It's Freedom From Spain Mex leo Has Passed Through Many
 Revolutions.

Mexico's history as republic" began ninety-one years ago, when Gen. Iturbide, who had been chosen em- peror of Mexico and had taken the title of Augustin I, was forced to ab- dicate. The war for freedom from Spain began in 1910, and after a struggle of eleven years Iturbide de cided the conflict in favor of the patriots and made a triumphal entry into the City of Mexico. The leaders decided to form the country into an empire, and Iturbide offered the crown to Spanish princes. The offer was refused and Iturbide himself was elected to the imperial throne In July, 1922, he was crowned in the City of Mexico, but his reign was destined to be brief Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana raised an army of rebels and, after several victories, forced Iturbide to abdicate on March 23, 1923. Santa Ana had previously proclaimed the republic" and con tinued at its head until Gen. Guada- lupe Victoria was "elected" president the following year. Iturbide was put to death when he returned to Mexico. Thus was a precedent established for the deposition of Guerrero, Arista, Santa Ana.

GOT THE VISUAL EVIDENCE
Eastern Doctor Trails Drink oi Punch From the Lips to the
 Stomach.

Having followed with his eyes the course of a milk punch from the mouth of a patient into his stomach, Dr. Henry V. Broeser of Hoboken, N J., began the treatment of a case ir which visual evidence will take the place of books and theories in meas ures to effect a cure The doctor seemed specially pleased with the prospect because, he said, the chances would be against recovery if he had to rely on the blind expedients which practitioners commonly employ in such maladies.
 The novelty in this treatment con sists of the use of the Horoscope in observing alimentary and digestive processes. Dr. Broeser made the diag- nosis. No one before him had en- ployed the Horoscope for such a case, so far as he knows.
 His patient was placed in front of the lighting machine and the X-ray directed toward the body with an in tensity of 11,O0O volts, but with am perage so attenuated that the man experienced no discomfort. The ex- treme brightness of the ray projected on glass screen, coated with a salt solution of barium, platinum and eva hide, replica in shadows of the living body, showing the beating heart and other organs so clearly that when the milk punch was drunk it's passage from mouth to stomach was perfectly visible on the glass.

pestroxlna Cherished IIIusIons.

Scientific experts are never so com pletely happy as when they are de stroying illusions which we have cher. ished from our childhood.
 A sunburned skin, which we are all so anxious to bring back to town at the end of August, is the latest thing to be condemned as unhealthy. Apparently "a nice healthy tan" mere Iy means that it's proud wearer has been exposing himself too rashly to the influence of the ultraviolet rays which is condemned as by no means a healthy process.
 Another illusion shattered by the same expert is that the pallor of the man who is something in the city" is always due to overwork or to the struggle to keep out of the bank ruptcy court. He is only pale because the cloud of soot which hangs over the city keeps out the ultraviolet rays, which would otherwise alter his interesting appearance.

PLEA FOR NATURAL STYLE
Beauty and Harmony of Line in Amer ican Cities Is Easily Within
 Reach.

We anchored in the harboF of Fayal. and from the ship considered the beautiful city. One has only to glance at such picture, writes Albert Bige- lew Paine in the Century, to realize the unsightliness of the average Amer ican city of the same size, the cheap tawdriness of much of our residential architecture. due to the continual striving after something new and fam cy. ranging through the periods of queens and presidents, who could be remembered in better and more en- during ways.
 We have no national home architec- ture, and we never shall have until we cease trailing after this fashion and that. instead of building a house the cne idea of which is suitability to our needs and conditions. We have done this in cur business architecture, and the stee[framed skyscraping structure that has resulted is one of the most prziseworthy and beautiful works of man.

HIS 1oU0 GUESS.
How the schoolmaster Calculated the Weight ot the Pig.


 Men wonder at what they do not understand, but a seeming marvel often becomes absurdly simple when it is explained. Many years ago a schoolmaster in the course of his travels had occasion to stay for day or two at a country tavern. As he sat in the public room with a dozen other persons, evidently na tives of the place, there came along a man with fat hog that he was driving to market. Leaving the animal outside, he entered the inn land joined the little company. Sew eral of the latter went to the win dow to look at the hog.
 TThat's a fine pig you've got there, neighbor," remarked one. esDo you know what he'll weigh?''
 "Yes, sir" returned the pigs owner. q had him on the scales just before l started out. What do you guess he'll weigh?"
 The questioner, thus questioned in turn, looked at the pig carefully and made guess. The owner turn ed to the rest of the company and said:
 "Will not somebody else give a guess? Just for the fun of 1t let everybody have a try"
 The proposal met with favor. One after another the men eyed the pig critically and after due con sideration gave their estimates of his weight. The schoolmaster, who seemed deeply absorbed in his own thoughts, alone took no part in the contest. But he was not to be let of.
 "Say, friend" the owner of the pig urged, "aren't we going to hear from you?''
 The pedagogue, who perhaps had never in his life looked attentively at a pig, rose, went to the window and gazed out at this one. He de liberated for moment, then. with modest hesitation, named a certain number of pounds.
 At hearing it the eyes and mouth of the pigs owner opened wide in astonishment.
 'Waal, I swanp' he exclaimed. 'SYou're the champion. All the others guessed either over or under, but you've hit it almost to pound"
 Every one stared at the school master admiringly, but no one was shrewd enough to tell how he had been able to make so good a guess. It had not been a lucky hit, although he could have done quite as well without seeing the pig. He knew nothing about swine, but he knew good deal about figures. Having heard the guesses of eleven more or less expert judges, he had added to- gether their figures, divided the sum by eleven and 'guessed'' the result.-Youth's Companion.
