REFERS CRUDE PRICE TO
EQUALIZATION BOARD

Oklahoma City, Okla, July 1S.-When
the state board of equalization assem-.
bled Governor Williams called its atten.
toin to the complaint made by the
Healdton oil producers against the price
paid for oil in that field. He said he
would file with the board the brief of
the Healdton producers and suggested
that the board may see fit to reconsider
the assessment of oil pipe lines in view
of the enormous profits that are made
from buying Healdton oil at ninety
cents when the same grade of oil is sold
to them in Texas and Louisiana at
81 40.

THE TRAVELLERS LUNCHEON

Among the other economy meas
ures planned in connection with the
war, is the proposal that dining cars
be left off railroad trains. 1t Is
planned to reduce passenger trains
as much as possible so as not to In
terfere with freight traffic.
To travelling people, who are used
TO certain regulation comforts, this
will go hard. u is a pleasure to eat
in a leisurely fashion In a dining
car while the country goes whirllng
by. But people with simple tastes
will not suffer greatly II they have
substantial box lunches.
A few years ago it was considered
bad form and stingy economy to
eat picnic lunch on train. The
high cost of restaurant service has
changed that feeling. Maintaining a
dining room on the railroad train Is
a costly and luxurious plan and trav-
elers have to pay we'll for the privil-
ege, as we'll as rewarding the walters
handsomely. Probably most of these
dining cars are not profitable, and
the railroads would no doubt be glad
to cut them off.

Big Crew Busy
On Forest Phones

Twenty men in the government
forest service are at work putting the
trails and telephones in shape for the
coming season. There are $50 miles
in trails and 800 miles in telephone
lines in the Crater lake forests. The
forest service has special insulator
on their telephone lines which allows
the line to fall to the ground without
breaking when trees over-weighted
by snow crash into 1t. Three miles
are down now on the line to Odessa,
but telephone service is still main
tanned by calling in at certain hours
during the day. The line is ground
ed in so many places that the bells
will not ring, but the voice is trans
mitted perfectly.

BIG COLLIE is CHAUFFEUR
OF MASTERS MOTOR CAR

Gear shifting, Of course, Is outside
the limits Of possibility for him, but
except for this operation a big collie,
owned by a Poughkeepsie, N. Y, au-
tomobile dealer, is able to drive a
motor car. Everybody along auto row
in New York city was completely
dumfounded not long ago when the
dog acted as chauffeur for his mas
ter. While weaving in and out
through Broadway's traffic, however,
the owner had an auxiliary control
at hand to help the animal out OF
tight places and avoid the danger OF
a mishap. But on ordinary occasions
when congested streets do not have
to be negotiated the collie drives
along like man, turning corners and
avoiding other vehicles with surpris-
ing facility. On such rides his mas
ter sits beside him, or In the ton
neau behind. On track, where the
chance OF accident is eliminated the
dog drives alone with nobody in the
car to help him. No special device
IA fixed to the steering wheel to as
sist him.-From the June popular
