Millionaire Builds Tent City for
Working Girls.
Duplicates Successful Widow
and Orphan Village.

Tulsa, Okla, Sept. 9.-Charles Page,
multi-millionaire oil magnate. and the
man who built a town-Sand Springs
exclusively for widows and orphans.
today completed a tent city near here
for working girls and provided free
railroad on which to get them to and
from it every day.
Page built Sand Springs and gath
cred widows and orphans from thru
out the country to populate it because
he decided, when he was poor boy
trying to make a living for his widow
ed mother, that if he ever got r1ch
he would do just that He built the
tent city because he thought living in
houses in the summer time unhealth-
full for working girls. More than los
Tulsa girls are living there now.
The tents are q by A feet, floored
and boarded on the sides a distance
of four feet, with collapsible canvas
tops.
Watchmen Guard Town.
Two girls occupy one tent. The tent
streets have gas plates every few
yards so the girls may cook. There is
fresh water and at night arc lights and
watchmen guard the town. There is
a free bath house for the girls, and
they have all the privileges of the
parks concessions.
Girls who heretofore had to quit
their work in the tense heat of sum-
mer are working all day in a tenn
perature of more than hundred and
bearing up under 1t.
Even some of the girls from wealth
Ter families of Tulsa made application
for tents. but without success, the one
and only requisite being that a girl is
working for her living. The plar
works SO splendidly that Page is con-
templating the building of two hun
dred more tents for next year.

COMMISSION MAKES PROGRESS.
Mexican American Conference Plans
Mutual Protection for Border.

New London, Conn, Sept. 9.-The
Mexican-American joint commission
today made what was described as
definite progress toward the formula
ton of an agreement which would
cover future military operations along
the international border.
The following statement was issued:
This mornings session was devot-
ed to consideration of plans respect
ing the mutual protection of the bord-
er. 1t was explained by the members
of the Mexican commission that it
was their desire that some plan be de-
vised which would avoid all possible
justification for the recurrence of such
incidents as that at Columbus and
would insure, SO far as was possible,
the protection of the border. To this
end the American commission sought
to know what plan of cooperation on
the part of the United States, if any,
would most help Mexico in the put
ting down of bandits along the border

IT'S BREAD TRUST
Bakers Find Law Can't Support
Their Stand.
But They Agree to Market 10
Cent Loaf Only.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-Federal investi-
cation of the National Association of
Master Bakers plan to make the price
of small 1oaves of bread cents in
stead of 8, was started here today.
Charles F. C1yne, United States dis
trict attorney, said the plan for one
baker in a community to advance the
price and then have the others fol-
low, would constitute violation of
the antitrust law.
Chicago, Sept. e.-Another blow has
been dealt Mr.. Average Consumer.
Breadmakers turnout the country to-
day were expected to follow the lead
of the National Association of Master
Bakers, the executive committee of
which yesterday passed a resolution
Recommending" that bakeries cease
to make a cent loaf and confine
their standard output to the dime loaf.
It was also recommended that if small
loaf must be sold. the price be 6 cents.
Several big Chicago bakers declared
they would eliminate the 5 cent loaf
at once and offer the 10 cent loaf in
its stead. Another resolution passed
by the bakers called on federal author
tiles to prohibit at once all exporta-
ton of this years wheat crop in order
to force a lowering of prices for home
consumption.
Before acting on the resolution rec
ommending the abolition of cent
bread, legal advice was asked. Law
yers told the bakers that in order to
avoid the antitrust laws they would
only be able to recommend to each
other and to the members of the asso-
citation any size, shape or quality of
loaf
President Mcdonald declared that
the public would save $2,500,O0O an
nually by buying 10 cent bread, as
