(By Associated Press)

Nby associated PreSS)
AUSTIN, Texas, April S.-The
waste of natural gas in Texas, which
at one time abouted to 100000 cubic
feet. or the fuel equivalent of $4,000
tons of coal, per day, has been reduced
until there is no considerable waste.
according to statement from the Oil
and Gas Division of the Texas Rail-
way commission.
The statement said in part:
THE railroad commission gives
credit for this happy condition largely
to the operators who have shown such
a splendid spirit Of cooperation, es-
pecially SO when there is so little mar
ket for it as at present, and where,
i'll many cases, if the Wells were al
lon.sd te blow, they might come in Ms
good oil psoducers.'

Al the risk of creating mo end o. trouble for tight-wad husbands. 1t should be stated that a New York justice has held that it is mot crime fora wife to go through husbands pockets while Inc is asleep, and cN- uactiug hercfrom anything she wants if sbc can find it. No wife, from this ou. need be afraid of be- ing prosecuted for the act; neither need she fear her own conscience in thc matter. for justice says it is all right
 A fellow had his wife arrested for robbmg him. Hc testified that it hap- pcucd frequently; that he could mot eo to sleep without having his wife go through his pockets and taking his money. and he had come to the point where he proposed to prosecute her for doing so. The justice discussed inc ease against the woman, at the same time stating it as his judicial opinion that a wife has a perfect right to search for money wherever she plcases. about the house, pro- vidcd the husband does not supply her with adequate fmds-md in this instance the husband admitted that he had not been exceedingly liberal
 The above is printed for the benefit ar married lady readers. We do not luo f any of them are accustomed to gom trough their husbands pockets, but hey do. theiy probably are forced to 1t he information is herewith given that the nav know there is little danger of thei being prosecuted.
