WHEAT SUBSTITUTE MAY END
Hoover Expected to Lift Ban on
Whole Wheat In a Short Time.

Owing to a dearth of feedstuffs for
dairy cattle and other stock, not only
in this country but throughout the
world, it is said that an order will be
issued by National Food Administra-
tor Hoover shortly lifting the ban on
whole wheat bread This will release
the substitutes for the cattle and per-
nit human beings to feed upon the
wheat products entirely. The order
eliminating the 1920 regulation re-
garding wheat flour substitutes as
originally intended to go into effect
the first of the year. Another reason
for the probable Fastening of the
order is that accumulated stocks of
wheat in Australia, India and South
America Immediately become avail
able, so far as it is possible to obtain
transportation facilities.

SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS CHURCH
IN Wine CASE
Oklahoma County Court De-
CiSion Is 0veuuIed,
ALL JUSTICES CONCUR.
Sacramento Wines Excepted
in Bone Dry Laws,

The transportation OF fermented wines
in Oklahoma for sacramental purposes
IS legal, according to a decision handed
down this morning by the state su-
preme court in the appeal of the Rev
Urban de Hasque from the Oklahoma
county district court.
Father dc Hasque several months ago
instituted mandamus proceeding
against the Santa lie railroad for the
refusal OF the railroad to transport
wines from Oklahoma City TO Guthrie
which were 10 be used for sacramental
purposes at the Catholic church at
Guthrie.
The Oklahoma county district court
ruled in favor OF tho railroad and the
priest appealed The action of the su-
preme court in reversing the case au-
tomatically puts the mandamus into ei-
feet.
II was announced from the bench that
all OF the nine supreme court justices,
with the exception OF Justice NJ J.
Kane, who did not participate in the
finding, concurred in the decision.
In its decision the supreme court held
that sacramental wine is excepted in
bone dry" laws even though not Spe-
officially so stated.

Wedding Ring
Brings $3.50
To Red Cross
And Best Of All, the Woman
Who Gave II viii Have Her
Hoop of Gold Returned,

Probably never before in the history
Of Oklahoma City has a little gold
much worn, wedding ring been sold at
the price reached today, $3.50. when the
Rev. l. Frank Roach, at the close OF
an eloquent Red Cross war fund talk,
auctioned the ring for that sum
Walter Paschal, Frank Hopes J r
Cottlngham, Richard Harriss and Fred
Clarke, each paid $3.50 as members OF
a fiye-man pool for a proprietary in
tetest IN the ring
Mrs. O. {. 1orklngton, living at 80
North Philip street a woman N poor
circumstance, but for a year past an
earnest worker at the Red Cross rooms
DR.. Roach said, made a cash contribu-
ton TO the war fund OF a S bill
She decided it wasn't enough, that
she had not given something that meant
the sacrament OF sacrifice SO she be-
sought DR.. Roach and said she would
turn over TO him her wedding ring for
the benefit OF the Red Cross war fund
and that he might use it in the best
way he believed would help the fund
At the close OF his address, in which
he had wound up by telling the story
OF the womans casting in of almost
her last possession of value, her we'd
ding ring, DR.. Roach suddenly said.
This ring ought to have value TO
some OF you men"
II took him only seven minutes to
auction the ring and at first he found
four men who would contribute $3.50
toward buying it After half the noon
luncheon crowd had dispersed, he
jubiliantly climbed chair and shouted
he had secured fifth man. 1t was
Mr.. Clarke
One Of the best things in connection
with this story is the privilege OF being
able to report that Mrs. Torkington will
have her ring restored to her.

MOTIvE-Since the most beau
tiful specimens OF the fair sex have
in the past been limited by mar
riage to the possession Of the bour-
geois man, the correct continuation
OF the human race has been greatly
impeded and great injustice and
inequalities have resulted Such
weighty arguments have induced
the anarchists to proclaim the fol-
lowing decree:
ARTICLE NO. i.--After March
/. 1918, the / ight OF man to possess
woman between the ages of IL
and 81 is hereby abolished. The
age of women shall be certified by
birth certificates or passports, and
in the case Of failure to produce
these documents, the age will be
judged by block committee" ac-
cording to the appearance OF the
woman and the testimony Of wit
nesses.
ARTICLE NO. 7.-This decree
does not affect women having more
than five children.
ARTICLE NO. s.-The former

to the entire satisfaction OF the presi-
dent and there has been no question
that the appointment would be made
permanent The difficulty in the way
was the desire of the war department
to have General Bliss hold the highest
rank in his capacity as member Of
the supreme war council.
Now a solution has been found. The
law authorizes brevet rank for dis
tinguished services in the face of the
enemy. Secretary Baker said today that
General Bliss service in France hat
been OF the highest order and full,
warranted the honor the president seek
| to confer now upon him
