Gas PRESSURE
TOO WEAK FOR

High Winds Partially Blamed

MOIinard Sticks to Statements
Made Weeks Ago,

Gas prospects here for this afternoon
and tonight, following cessation of yes
terday's high wind, were regarded by
w. K. Molinard, manager of the Okla
homa Gas x Electric company, as much
better than yesterday In some portions
Of the city last night pressdre was so
low that il was impossible for house
wives to cook supper This condition
prevailed in spite of the fact that fac
tories were cut off from gas consump-
tion during the shortage
High Winds Blamed.
Mr.. Molinard explained this morn
ing that high winds created drafts in
even the beSt-built houses. making il
necessary to consume more gas for
heating purposes than on camer days.
The wind which brought last nights
low October 30 record of 10 degrees
here was not in evidence after dark
last night
Gas pressure readings at the Okla
homa Gas & Electric company plant
were higher, hour for hour, all morn
ing, than at similar periods yesterday
Mr.. Molinard said
The extreme south and n considerable
portion OF the northeastern sections oi
thhe city were the hardest hit by last
nights shsortage. The gas flames il
many cookstovcS were hardly an inch
high, and donly the accumulated heat OF
the day prevented actual suffering from,
ccold in some homes where only a
feeble flikcr of flame coud be detected
in heating stoves.

1t.
The feudal system was form of
society which was organized in the
ninth century, as government and
also as protection for man. Before
feudallsm was organized the whole
country was IN an uproar and
confusion. Man was not safe
anywhere. The feudal theory was
real good but the practice was not
as good as the theory.
One man who had a little land
would gain more, and weaker men
would come to him for protection.
There were four classes of people.
The lowest was the serf. He went
with the soil when it was sold. A
step above the serf was the vellein. He
could change owners If he wished TO.
The vassal was still higher than the
vellein, and above all OF these was the
lord. There was also suzerain, who
was almost the same as lord, being
a landowner of the fighting class.
When man wished To become the
serf of another man he went to the
lord and said he wished to become his
serf. He would kneel before the lord
and make vows, and 10 return the
lord made vows to him. Then the
lord would kiss the serf and raise him
from his feet. The lord could not
sell the serf as long as the serf
fulfilled his part of the contract. The
serf had to protect the lord and 20 to
war any time he was needed. The
vassal had three important duties
toward his lord. These duties were
court service. military service, aud
financial service. The lord in return
had to protect the yassal from his CO.
vassals. Each man was just respon :
sihle to the man above him.
Each village was world Of its own.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

During three weeks OF almost con.
tinuous hard fighting the Italians

German army of invasion to break or
turn their position on the Piave. The
Italians have strengthened their line,
which has also been reinforced by the
British and French infantry and
artillery, arrived Nov. 20 after eiRl I

passage ways. II the outer castle

They also had men OF war to 20 out
any minute.
At first tleir arnor was only
leather, but later it was made Of
metal. The horse also was covered
with armor. When boy wished to
become knight he had many things
to do. At the age OF seven or eight
he was given to some noble as page.
Here he waited on the lord and also
the lady. The lady taught
him his duty to religion
and ladies. After seven or
eight years OF this training he became
squire to the lord. He was taught
to ride, and he had to attend and
protect the lord. The day before he
was made knight he had TO fast,
and spend the entire night in prayer.
The next morning the service was
preached for him, and the lord, giving
him slight tap on the back,
proclaimed him knight. The young
knight at this time was abont
twenty-one years of age. He would
mount a horse, which the people had
ready for him, and ride away. This
knighthood was not what it should
have been because the knight had to
protect only the women Of the noble
class.
The noble class lived in gloomy
castles, and the women did much
fancy work. The poor people or
peasants lived in low, dirty, one.room
houses. They had little furniture;
mill to grind their meal in, a kettle,
bench, and few rough tools was the
most they had. Each village had
everything it. needed except salt, mill
stones and iron, which they got from
distant towns. The women wove the
cloth for their garments, and the men
farmed their small plots of land. The
land was divided into three parts. In
the first part they would plant wheat,
aud maybe barley in the second, but
the third strip they would leave
vacant. The next year they would
I change the crops and let some other
strip be vacant, to regain its fertility.
The people all loved to hunt. Hunting
bear, deer and large animals was
called the chase, while hunting birds
/ was called falconry.
They had mock battles or tourna-
ments as they were called for sport.
Sometimes they lasted two or three
days. AS far as government was
concerned they settled most things
between themselves. The lords were
often lighting one another. but they
thought God would prove the right
man the stronger. The feudal system
certainly looked like CLEAN of light
to the people 10 their dark confusion.
