SINK TEXAS OIL
 WELL TO DEPTH
 OF WHOLE MILE

- ORANGE (Tex.) Aug. 5.-Devel-
 opments of oil production from a depth of more than a mile in the earth is underway near here by the Gulf Production Company. It is said to be the deepest oil we'll in the world. While there have been a few deeper test wells than this one, none of them succeeded in striking an oil sand. About twenty-four feet of oil sand
 were encountered at the bottom of this well. On account of the great depth it is difficult matter to bale the we'll and get ready to bring it in in proper form. Practical oil men who have examined the hole are con- vinced that it will show paying pro- duction. The oil odor of the sand that is brought from the bottom of the we'll is different from that of the ordinary oil well, it is asserted, and it will not be surprising if the oil is of higher grade than any hereto fore discovered in the Gulf coast region. The hole was put down by a rotary drill and this fact marks a new epoch in rotary drilling, ac- cording to oil men.

PARIS NOW PREFERS
LIGHTER ADJUSTMENTS

PARIS. Dec. 30--(A. P.l-The peo-
pie of Paris spend a quarter of bill
lion francs yearly on theatres and
motion pictures, and do not care to
do much heavy thinking during the
process. Government statistics OH
last years receipts of every playhouse
in Paris warrant these statements, and
at the same time supply interesting in
formation about what plcases the tired
business man of France and his non
voting wife.
Motion picture houses, which out
number the regular theatres three to
one, took in $4,000, 900 farncs in 1919,
rather more than did the theatres, and
la third of the total amusement re-
ceipts. Last year, however, the the
atres took first place with receipts of
.S6. 100000 francs. 100000 more
than the movies. This increase seems
to be due largely to the fact that the
atregoers have modified their oppos
tional attitude toward high prices of
admission and also by revival of the
typically light and racy play.
The govCrnmc mt subsidized opera,
and the Opera Comiquc. headed the list
with the largest receipts, each taking
in more than 100000 farncs last
year, and the serious Comedio Fran
caise did well with 100000 francs,
but these institutions are virtually
without competition in their field. and
they represent a big portion of the
money paid for the classics.
The Folies- Bergeres. where the big
scenes always hinge on the presenta-
ton of group of handsome show
girls, tops the list of theatres, exceed
ing even the famous Coincide Fran
caise. The next in line among the
dramatic houses is the Palais Royal,
which always pursues a policy of Civ
ing spiced comedies of family life.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-(A. P.)---
Prices in yesterdays bond market dis

Cash sales were not as etensivf as

near their high levels of the year,
making tax losses in those kinds vir-
tually negligible.

HISTORICAL
THE FIRST SUNDAY
CLOSING ORDINANCE

While the Spanish authorities were
charged by the revolutionists who sue
ceeded them with undue oppression
and extortion, the order of the Span
ish commandant closing all stores, sa-
looms, factories, cock pits and other
establishments during Sundays until
after Church hours, that is, until one
o'clock, p. m., may have been consid-
cred oppression of the most grevious
nature for if we are to form an opin-
ion by reading the old Spanish records
the English speaking element Of the
district of Baton Rouge was composed
of a most unholy set, for no sooner
were the Spanish authorities de-
throned than establishments Of every
character were thrown open and the
widest revelry indulged in.
Up to the breaking out of the Civil
War business of every description
was carried on openly and brazenly
on Sunday. In fact, Sunday was the
principal trading day and day for fun
and frolic. 1t was on that day me-
chanics, sugar makers, overseers and
others from neighboring plantations
visited this town in greatest number
and they were many, due to the fact
that every plantation has its sugar
house in which cane was converted
into sugar. Gamblers were numerous
and gambling openly practiced.
Under the bluffs along the river
front was where the toughs, composed
of raftsmen, fiat boat men, levee
workers and roustabouts mostly con-
gregated and where the barker's voice
calling Keno numbers and the whir1
of the roulette wheel could be heard
at all hours day and night.
It is not to be understood by this
statement that Baton Rouge lacked
large and respectable element Of
God-fearing, law abiding and peace
loving people among the citizenship
for | doubt that for good citizenship
a better or more moral people could
be found anywhere than among oul
permanent residents, but at a time
when all classes demanded the largest
measure of personal liberty, the rowdy
element was permitted to 60 to tht
devil by it's own chosen route withou
interference so long as laws made AM
provided were not violated. Hors
racing and cock fighting were consid
cred neither sinful nor demoralizine
but a legitimate sport gentlema
might and did indulge in and bot
were conducted honestly, fairly an
gentlemanly.

w AKIN Fat

VAy HEN your figures getting dumpy
w And your chin is hanging low
w When your waist lines disappearing
Ana your gat's becoming slow;
It's time to do some thinking
For you're getting fat-yes, dearie,
Getting fat-perhaps passe.
Now when woman's mirror
Shows she's getting fat,
Something will be doing
And mighty quick at that.
When womans really worried
It's of very little
To try to keep her happy
When she's trying to reduce;
For every friends advising
In most amusing strain
Some new and wondrous system
Thatn get her thin again.
But when she's tried their methods
And yet she stouer grows,
It's no funny situation,
AS every woman knows.
So we're coming to the rescue
Of that fat and overwrought,
Whose hip line keeps enarging
And whose corset strings grow taut
If they'll only wear a MODART
For just little while,
They'll all turn into marvels
Of attractive grace and style
For you all remember Venus,
That statue most divine;
Most lovely form record
Yet she measures 49,"
