ALL NATIONALITIES.

Paris, May 15.-There are about
600 Americans in the Foreign Legion
of the French army, so many of whom
have petitioned to Join the flying
CORPS that a sauadrilla of Americans
is being formed.
These Americans, however, are
only a handful of the actual number
of foreigners who have Joined the
Foreign Legion, the First Marching
Regiment of which is probably the
most picturesque in the French army.
1t is an inspiring sight to see
regiment of the Legion on the march;
negroes and blond Swedes go side by
side with swarthy Italians. Men who
have dihed with Kings and dweit in
marble halls sink their identity, under
a borrowed name and march with
Polish tailor or COWBOY from the
Wild West.

FOOD VALUES OF
MILK SOLD HERE

Increase in Price Causes City
to Inspect Dairy Product,

Now that some of the local dairieS
have advanced the price of milk TO l2H
cents a quart, A. A. Doughty, city milk
Inspector, wants TO know Il full food
value is being given.
Samples Collected.
This morning DR.. Doughty collected
samples from the Belle Isle, White
House, T. A. Tarman, V. Peterson, Oak
Ledge and Peaster dairies for the pur-
pose OF having the city chemist make an
analysis of the product as regards nu-
triment and purity.
DR.. Doughty says tina, he anticipates
a general increase in the cost to the
consumer Of all dairy products on ao-
count OF the high price OF feed.
Failures Predicted.
Many dairymen in Oklahoma City
are due to,go out OF business this year,
says the milk Inspector. The class tina,
sell milk to the poorer families are
doomed to bankruptcy, in my opinion,
because they cannot raise the price
enough to offset the cost of feed and at
the same time maintain their clientele. y

LANKFORD PLANS
TO STRENGTHEN
GUARANTY Law
Commissioner Is Preparing a
New Rule for State Banks,

A plan to strengthen the Oklahoma
state bank guaranty fund is embodied
in new rules and regulations, gov
erning banks under the supervision Of
the state banking department, which
State Bank Commissioner. J. d. Lank-
ford was preparing today TO issue.
Rule Effective Soon.
According to the new rules, which
are to become effective on November
p. all state banks which are not olas-
sified as approved reserve agents and
all banks having capital stock OF
$4,000 or less will be required to car
ry at least 50 pefecnt OF their legal
reserves with banks operating under
the Oklahoma state banking system.
The operation OF this rule will pre-
vent state banks, il so inclined, from
depositing their reserves in national
banks or in banks out Of the state to
avoid the bank guaranty assessment
II will result in all reserve funds be-
ing held in state banks in Oklahoma
and subject to the bank guaranty fund
assessment.
Lankfofd Makes Statement.
"If, since the guaranty law became
effective, state banks Of Oklahoma had
carried their reserves and balances
with banks under the same supervi-
sion, the guaranty fund today would
be better off by over quarter of a
million dollars" said Mr.. Landlord,
A circular letter, promulgating the
new rules will be sent TO every state
bank in Oklahoma tomorrow.
