And now we shah never see
him, Private Herb and 1. And we
both hoped very earnestly that we
should.
The King of Montenegro, after his
flight from the Black Mountain, had
rented a chateau on the outskirts of
Merignac, a suburb of Bordeaux. 1t
was a gray stone Italian palace, set
back an eighth Of a mile in a great
park on the highway. from which
only glimpses could be caught through
vistas Of wonderfully kept trees and
shrubbery. Just inside the high iron
fence on the road was a cultivated
strip, on which grew six or eight
rows Of American sweet corn. II was
a strangely attractive place. II is
to the everlasting credit OF the per-
sonnet and patients OF the Beau Desert
Hospital Center, a scant two miles
away that no complaint OF depreda-
tons ever came to headquarters from
the Kings caretalSers.
For the chateau was officially
closed. The lawns were trimmed. The
corn was hoed, the gravel walks and
roads were freshly scratched. But the
windows were boarded up.

Why women marry: In order to

COMMISSION HEARS THE
TULSA GAS RATE CASE

Oklahoma City, March l4-Hearing
upon the application of the city attor-
ney of Tulsa for a reduction in domes-
tic rates for natural gas in Tulsa from
IS cents net to 3S cents net was held
before the corporation commission
March 3, and the matter taken under
advisement.
Tulsa is seeking the reduction upon
the contention that the order Of the
commission of April Is. 1920. increas-
ing the rate from 80 cents to IS cents
was only of a temporary nature, and
the inclusion Of this order in the lat
er order Of tae commission fixing 4
rate of IS cents. resulted in wiping
out both the Ascent and 5s-cent rates
when the supreme court held that the
last increase was illegal.
The Oklahoma Natural Gas Company
which furnishes gas to Tulsa. denied
the correctness of the contention OF
the Tulsa city attorney and declared
that the Ascent rate was granted to
the company by the commission chiefly
upon a showing Of fact that the cost
Natural Gas company had increased
from cents per thousand cubic feet
to 10 cents and that the 80 cent rate
was unremunerative and confiscatory
The Oklahoma Natural Gas company
also declared that the As cent rate
order was entirely separate and dis
| tinct fran the later order increasing
the rate to 5S cents and which was
declared invalid by the supreme court
and that the decision of the court in
no effect upon the As cent rate case.
The Oklahoma Natural Gas company
also contends that the Ascent rate
was put in effect with the consent
Of citizens of Tulsa and of all parties
TO the hearing.
The Tulsa city attorney indicated
during the hearing that, il the decision
Of the commission is adverse to his
contentious, he win appeal to the
state supreme court. In holding the
So cent rate invalid the supreme court
did not pass upon the merits of the
rate but merely held that the COM
mission was without authority TO put
in force a 10-cent increase for the pur-
pose Of creating a special fund for im-
proyement of properties and service
of the Oklahoma Natural Gas COM
pany.
