The oil lake in the new town of
Mannford, Okla, is quite unusual in
that the big reservoir has been made
a recreation place by erecting a band
stand In its midst. The stand, which
is described and illustrated in the
Popular Mechanics Magazine, is shell
tered by an artistic circular roof and
is connected with the shore by a rustic
bridge. Concerts are given here in
warm weather for the benefit of the
audience that assemblies on the shore.
One advantage possessed by this
amusement center Is that no mosqui-

to speak, a fly in the ointment, in
that smoking Is, prohibited for obvious
reason. and when thunderstorm is
seen approaching during concert, the
