Mr.. Smith continued:
Another source OF tonnage from
the MidContinent field consists Of
gasoline made from natural gas and
known as "casinghead gasoline" In
1920 the total production of this kind
of gasoline in the United States
amounted to SsS.3ll.sl7 gallons Of
which the Mid.Continent field con-
tributed 225.32l.22s gallons or SO per
cent. Much Of this is long haul stuff
as It is marketed oil the way from
California on the west to New Jersey
on the east.
But recent freight advances have
cut down the average length Of haul
Of the Mid.Continent refiner on his
products generally from ZOO miles to
500 miles. a loss Of about 13 per cent
which means much larger percentage
loss OF territory. This is one OF the
major causes Of the fact that the Mid.
Continent reflners with their refining
capacity OF over 100000 barrels Of
crude per day are SIS per cent shut
down. The oil producer Is interested
in this matter because he believes
that reduction in the freight charge
on refined products emanating in the
MidContinent field will secure greater
demand and better stabilized market
for crude oil at the refineries.
''The railroads should also be in.
terested because Of (a) the resulting
increase In long haul traffic FOR both
crude and refined. and (b) any stimu.
lation of the demand for Mid.Conti.
nent crude increased activity In devel.
opment work and operations in the
oil producing and refining centers Of
Of that region. This development
is carried on with material and equip
ment which comes chiefly from the
Pittsburg. Pa. district and the lum-
Der regions. Increased activity In the
Mid-Continent field following stim'
ulated or stabilized demand for our
oil means a much greater railroad
traffic TO rs well as from the field.
THE freight charge now constitutes
about 10 per cent OF the total average
cost OF the well. whereas In 1920 the
freight charge constituted about "a
per cent OF the total average cost.
In other words. there has been de-
flation OF % per cent In the cost of
drilling a well. concurrently with an
Increase OF about 33 per cent in
freight charges.
There were 1882 wells drilled in
the Mid-Continent field In 1920. while
In 1921 the number fell to li.os5. II
is clear that the producers OF petro.
leum in the AIid-Contincnt field are
shippers OF very large tonnage Of in.
bound materials and any reductions
in their costs which would encourage
the drilling OF more wells would be OF
great benefit TO the railroads. II
would seem fundamental upon the
standpoint, OF the railroads. that re-
gion which is 40 prolific a source oi

Why Scandal in Holl ywood?

FACTS AND FIGURES
REVEAL BURDEN OF
HIGH FREIGHT RATE
Cost Of Shipment Only Item
Remaining At Highest
Level.

The price OF every item entering
into the cost Of an oil well has been
reduced with the exception of freight
rates, as pointed out by Harry H.
Smith. secretary Of the Mid.continent
Oil and Gas Association at the hear.
ing Of freight rates on petroleum held
In Washington last week. Mr.. Smith
reviewed the situation of the Mid.
continent refiner before the board at
the hearing. bearing emphasis on the
fact that all refiners in Oklahoma are
shut out Of the largest consuming
districts because of the prohibitiye
freight rates now in force. The fig
ures which Mr. Smith displayed, dealt
with Tulsa as the shipping point. Ard
more refiners are in a worse predica.
ment than are their fellow refiners at
Tulsa, due to the added differential
which they are required to pay in
addition to the rate OF Group 3.
Extracts from Mr.. Smiths remarks
are as follows:
"Of the total production Of the
field in 1921, 27,547. 900 barrels or 10
per cent went to storage in the gen.
eral region Of the id-Continent field,
while lac. 100000 barrels or 81 per
cent was moved out Of the field by
interstate pipe lines to the Gulf and
Atlantic ports and other refining
centers. This leaves S2.53S, 900 barrels
or 33 per cent to be moved by the
railroads either as crude or refined
oil and by.products. The major por-
ton of this $4,000. 900 barrels is re.
fined in the Mid-Continent field and
in many instances the railroads enjoy
a double haul, that is. they haul the
crude from the wells to the refinery
and the refined products to the dis
tributing centers or markets"
Mr.. Smith substantated his claim
by showing the increasing Importance
OF the Mld-Continent region yearly.
This region becomes a larger producer
OF fuel year by year. The produc.
ton Of the Mid-Continent and its rela.
tive importance to the country since

Post Gets Busy.

that kind. While waiting for the re-
turn OF its charter 1t has almost COM

On January 25, Neil Richardson, ex-
ecutive committeeman from the eighth
district. went TO Braman to talk "Le-
gion' to q bunch of ex-service men,
and hoped the meeting would result
In the formation OF an outpost. But
the men wanted a post of their own.
so Richardson proceeded to organize
them and sent in their application
for q charter. But just about the
next day they decided that the best
way 10 start post rs well as the
best way 10 keep it together and make
ii function was To build n post home.
The good people OF Braman welcomed
them and felt the same way, so the
town OF Braman donated the lots.
With this tucked under their belts
they began TO figure on q hut. The
people again showed their apprecia-
ton and within short time 100 per
cent American citizens in and around
Braman subscribed enough to build n
home for them. Now the legion hut

LOS ANGELES, Calif-Hollywood
hub of the film universe, is at once
a city and a state of mind.
Here scores of the best know
people In the world daily live a dual
and more or less widely divergent
life-part time the momentarily real
existence of romance and passion in
which they are cast by author and
director, part time the most staid life
of ordinary folk.
For many Of the screen celebrities
there is constant overlap of their
two personalities, and it is this that
is held largely responsible for those
occasional lurid or tragic episodes
which inspire fierce controversy over
Hollywood's morals.
In dozen studios men and wo'
men are professionally egged on to
display the deepest passions by di-
rectors who seek TO entertain upon
the screen millions OF love-hungry
and love.curious.
Separation Difficult.
And as n matter of human nature
it is difficult TO preserve a rigid
boundary between this and the social
life into which the actor steps from

NEW MOVE MADE
IN DRY FIGHT
No Decision Made on Con-
stitutionaIity of Van Ness
Act Yesterday

TRENTON. Jan. 1S-No decision
on the constitutionality of the Van
Ness Prohibition Enforcement Act
was reached by the Court of Errors
and Appeals when it met here for
conference yesterday. On the con-
trary, q supplemental brief was filed
with the court by Robert II. Nc
Carter and Merritt Lane, of Newark,
the principal fighters who are at
tempting to throw the drastic state
law off the statute books.
Whether or not an early decision
is to be expected seems to be a
doubtful question, though the weight
OF opinion among qualified observers
of the highest court and its meth
DDS seems to indicate that the court
will reach a decision as soon as pos
sible and give the liquor cases first
consideration.
Special Sessions Granted
IL is argued against this view
that the court has otter granted
special sessions to hear important
cases, as in the Van Ness hearing,
so as to save case from going over
to the next term, but has rendered
It's opinion without special hurry on
the regular opinion day, which in
the present case would be the middle
OF next March. 1t is further ar
eued that there is nothing in the liq-
ucr cases which calls for a terrible
rush, since none OF the defendants
are in Jail and + no worse off for
having their cases held up.
Those who expect an early deci-
sion say that public policy demands
a quick opinion, since the lower
courts are refusing to act on the
booze cases until the highest court
decides on the validity of the act
creating the offenses charged. Until
the decision is rendered, they say.
the legislature is baked in its at
tempt to deal with alleged "bootleg-
ging'' and that the errors court will
not allow the lower courts to be held
up longer than is necessary.
The new brief filed is an elabora-
ton of a last minute point made by
Mr.. Lane at the hearing to the effect
that the Van Ness law was unconsti-
~tutional because 1t places the bur-
den of reviewing liquor cases on the
justices of the supreme court, a pow
er which is denied to the law-mak-
ers. This point was suggested by
the remark of Justice Swayze, that
if he had to review all the liquor
cases in Hudson county, he thought
he would resign"

State Police Making Roads
Safe For Sane Drivers

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. ID
Automobiles are beginning to real
ize that the state police are active
In %patrollirg the state highways, and
the fragrant violations OF the state
motor vehicle laws which were very
apparent along the Lincoln highway
q fcw months ago are not SO COM
mon at the present time.
The practice of excessive and dam
ger rus speeding alCng the concrete
roadway between Railway and Me-
tuclien is rapidly oeing curtailed and
it is getting to be a common sight TO
see ears travelling at a speed that is
permitted under the state law.
With the early arrests made by
the new state forces and the subse-
quent imposition OF fines by magls-
traees for serious violations of the
speed laws the mania for fast traV-
cling seems to have grown less.
While many motorists have been
stopped for various slight infrac-
lions OF the law and have received
warnings instead of a summons the
indications are that the activities of
the police will soon cause a due re-
gard for the law on the part of the
thoYghtless drivers. which will be the
means of preventing many serious
accidents.
In addition TO preventing excessive
speeding the officers are also direct
ing their attentions to machines go
ing over tho roads at night bearing
gIaring ana blinIlng headlights u S
well as machines that are not prop
erly equipped with lights.
Drivers G. macl ines bearing pow
