was my first visit. After I had
been there a short time, a girl
friend of hers called and my
friend said she had promised to
60 over to this girls house and
excused herself to me and ask
ed me to call some other time,
also asked me to call her up by
phone at any time and talk with
her.
Some days later I called her
up and asked her to attend the
theater with me. But she said
her aunt and uncle would be
there that day and she could
not leave. Well, that excuse
was reasonable enough / sup

she did when I called on her?
Was that polite, Miss Grey, and
do you think l should bother
with her? CHARLIE.
There was no excuse for your

RAID "CHoC" JOINTS AGAIN.

Police officers yesterday afternoon
continued their raids upon the "choc
joints and even invaded homes
where "choc' was found, but in
police court this morning no evil
dence developed that some of the
persons arrested had ever been sell
ing, but the offense with which they
were charged being possession, the
law recognized no difference be-
tween the man who had seven quarts
in his ice box and the one who had
6SS quarts. Yesterday afternoon
Policemen Chancellor and Harri-
son went back to the place OF i'm
MesSer, where 68S quarts had been

liams were each fined SIS for pos
session. The case against Abe En-
loe was dismissed, it being shown
that he and Bob Fry were at the
same place, and it was one transac-
ton. The police are continuing the
raids today.

AURORA BOREALIS
AND WHAT IS |T2.
WEATHER OBSERVER TELLS
WHAT 1T is AND WHAT
1T IS NOT.

Kansas City, Mo. March "a
question asked of p. Connor, the
Kansas City weather observer, re-
Gently was What is it, and he ad-
mitted it was somewhat difficult to
give a satisfactory answer to those
unlearned in natural science and
natural history
The 1t" referred to was the au-
rora borealis that flashed its vari-
colored strcamcrs of light to cause
similar questions at every govern
ment weather office from the Allan
tic coast to the Rocky Mountains
and as far south as San Antonio,
Texas.
The full nature Of the aurora is
not undcrstood,' he said, "but we
can say with considerable certainty
that it is caused by electrical dis
charges in the rarifed air of the
polar regions. The light is similar
to that resulting when a current is
passed through a tube from which
the air has been partially exhausted
in a laboratory, and a Swedish sci
enlist succeeded in creating his
own northern lights By stringing
electric wires on a mountain top.
The phenomena is most common
in March and least common in June
and July and there are also longer

WESTERN UNION co. IN
CREASES FACILITIES HERE

The local telegraph business OF
the Western Union has grown to
such volume, it was found neces-
sary to enlarge its wire facilities. A
new wire was constructed from Dal-
las to Ardmore, and a quadruplex
set of apparatus installed for this
new circuit. A motor generator
power plant has been installed com
posed of three machines, one for
high power voltage on the quadru-
pleX, one for locals, and a charging
motor to supply storage plant of
1870 volts to be used ON call and
clock circuits and emergencies.
Practically all of the old telegraph
equipment has been replaced by
new and modern apparatus. Man
ager Salisbury states with the new
facilities, the company is now en-
abled to handle peak load OF more
than 100 messages per hour on its
Ardmore-Dallas exclusive circuits.
The local Office employs a manager,
two operators three clerks and six
messengers. Much difficulty has
been experienced because of the
shortage OF experienced help on ac-
count OF war conditions. Young
boys for messenger service are hard
to obtain. However the users OF
the telegraph are appreciating these
conditions, specially with the great
demand made upon wire facilities
by the government, and the very
largely increased business being
handled The force two and hall

Uncertainty Hangs Over Rehneries.
There never has been a state of
more uncertainty concerning the
price situation regarding refined oils
than there is right now. The rehn-
ers say that unless they are allowed
to go ahead and raise the price OF
refined products to the government
that they will all lose money and
have to shut down, but the produc-
ers and a number OF the federal
trades commission say that the prof
its OF the rehners ior the past two
years have been out OF line and need
correction. In other words, some
OF the government experts say there
is too much OF salient in the direc-
ton OF high prices for lubricating
oils and gasoline, which is denied BY
the reilucrs, with the further state
mcnt that they have not yet re
couped the losses they incurred in
