In order to allow the public chap
eron of dances to be able to delin-
cate her position thoroughly and at
the same time to not unduly restrict
those who are desirous of attending
dances the council passed a new
dance ordinance at its meeting last
evening. The former ordinance for
bade all young people under IS
years OF age attending public dances
unless accompanied by their parents
or legal guardians. In some in
stances. it was stated, objections
were taken to this law, when young
people were present with older mem
bers of the family or other relatives.
According to the law the chaperon
had no recourse but to send such
young people home. These cases
were placed before the council and
another ordinance was framed in
which the chaperon is allowed the
authority of either sending home
young people under is years Of age
who appear without their parents or
legal guardians, or to provide or see
that they have a suitable chaperon.
The voting on this ordinance result
ed in a tie, the mayor casting the
vote allowing II to pass.

As the demand for oil increases. the
refinery offers more to get the sun

The great demand for crude oil
has caused keen competition among
refiners to secure it and consequent

per cent during 1919. The same
condition has prevailed in regard 10
the milk supply.
