NO HEALTH FUNDS
State Board of Health Cuts on
Diphtheria Supplies.
Only "a Cents Left in Amount
Legislature Granted.
MUST BUY ANTI-TOXlH NOW
Communities Can Obtain Drugs
Only by Cash.
Crippled Department as Result
of 1921 Session.
MUST BUY ANTI-TOXlH NOW

DR.. S. ]. Crumbine. secretary of the
state board of thealth, today shut off
all free supplies of anti-toxin for use
in diphtheria cases. The states fund
for toxin is exhausted. In fact there
is now a deficit and unless the money
can be taken from some of the funds
at disposal of the state board. bills
may not be paid until after the next
session of the legislature.
When Doctor Crumbine today notf-
fled health authorities in Kansas
towns and counties to cut off all free
toxin supplies he was confronted with
a bill of more than $500 for which the
state board has a balance of "a cents.
In other words the fund from which
anti-toXin has been purchased is now
carrying a balance of "a cents and
expenses amounting to 500 to $3.50
must be paid.
This is the first time the state board
of health has been forced to shut off
its supplies of free anti-toxin for use
of physicians in fighting diphtheria
epidemics. In several towns collec-
tions have been taken to pay the bills.
The legislature, which provided liber-
ally for junketing trips and for post
age and telegraph expenses, felt an
overpOWering need of economy when
appropriations of the state board of
health were reached. In consequence
the allowance of the board was re-
duced in such a manner that ordinary
health work of the board must in sew
eral instances be entirely suspended.

SEEK TO RECOVER S525, 900
Action Filed in Federal Court Against
Mission Hills Man.


Suit for the collection of $525,000,
which it alleges is due it from petro-
leum and other oils unlawfully ex-
tracted from its land in Tillman coun-
ty, Oklahoma, was filed in the first di-
vision of the United States district
court late Thursday afternoon by the
Burk Divide Oil company against
Frank Brown of Mission Hills. Kan.
The company states that from Feb
ruary 2, 1920, to April "a, 1920, it
was sole owner of certain oil lands in
Oklahoma, but that between those two
dates Brown entered upon the prem
ises and unlawfully and illegally eX-
tracted therefrom a large quantity of
oil, in excess, the company says it has
reason to believe, of 10000 barrels
At the rate of $3.50 per barrel the
company charges that the oil wrong
fully taken by Brown was worth 1926,
900, which it seeks to collect.
The suit is said to have been the
result of trouble which arose between
the Texas and Oklahoma authorities
following the discovery of oil near the
boundary line of the two states about
two years ago. The location of the
boundary line became in dispute be-
cause of recent shifts made by the
channel of the Red river. The Texas
authorities contended that inasmuch
as the river had moved to the north
its boundary line changed accordingly
while the Oklahoma authorities hung
to the theory that the boundary line
remained along the old channel. Rang
ers came in and drove the lease hold
ers from the disputed territory and
war between the two states was
threatened. Oklahoma, however, fin
ally won out by a decision from the
United States supreme court.
The Burk Divide Oil company is
said to have been one of the COM
panies driven from the field while the
dispute was going on over the boun-
Diary, and that Brown was a member
of another company which is alleged
to have operated on the land during
that time. Similar suits are being
filed elsewhere in the country, it is
said.

Fordney of the house ways and means
committee and Secretary Mellon of

ers of the house favored the senate
changes, but it was explained that they

ANOTHER COMBINATION rs
Reporter Who Wrote Date Story
Is Nursing Variety of Sore Spots
Another Set of rs During
Month of February.

The reporter who wrote the story
for The State Journal Thursday even
ing about the combination of the rs
in the date, is nursing a variety of as
sorted sore spots today.
Members of his own staff are de-
riding his ignorance and his lack of
perspicacity. The persons on his beat
are poking fun at him Even that
constant contributor to the paper, "a
Reader" takes a shot at him.
OF course the reporter should have
thought enough about the birthday OF
the father of his country to know
that there is another set of ''2's' in
the month-February % can't be writ
ten any other way. But the reporter
is. quite fittingly, crushed, apollo
getic heap of Inundated misery by
this time.
But it's a long worm that has no
turning. The reporter retains spark
enough of human pride in his CULVER
ing, pulverized self esteem, to point
out that over in Europe, where they
do things logically rather than orig
ingally (see Thursday nights story,
they won't write it "22222."~
This is the straw that broke the re-
porter'S back:
Editor State Journal.
Dear Sir: Inclosed find little
piece of paper from your paper with
heading of A Combination of 2s.' AS
Il reader of your paper enjoy reading
something worth while. but such as
this is bunk tget that?) Don't the
writer of this piece of news know that
this month has ats least twenty-efght
days and to count to twenty eight one
has to county twenty-five. Give him
a shot in the arm wish somebody
wou,d.) That's Il real constructive sug
gestfonl and wake him up, and let
him know we still have a chance at
more rs.
The copy-reader who let the story
get past him and into the paper with
out calling and reviling the offending
reporter has been suffering his share
of the vengeance of the public. The
copy reader has been answering the
telephone calls and the personal COM
mentssupon the "boner'' and doing his
weak best to still the public uproar
which the error has caused.
Oh. dear. oh, deari
But we'lI try another on you-On

again. in our lifetime. will there be
that many like numerals in the same

NO such NURSE
Woman Alleged to Have Duped
Army Officers.
Claimed Service in France
Now Held in Arrest.

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 3.-Nfiss
AIene Frawley, the woman who, it is
alleged. duped majors, generals, col
onels and other officers in the United
States army with her story of harrow
ing experienced while a member of
the United States army nursing corps
in France during the world war, will
be brought here from Austin today,
following her arraignment before the
United States commissioner.
Miss Frawley was arrested in Austin
yesterday, ending a two weeks chase
by department of justice officers and
military police on charge of falsely
wearing the uniform of the nursing
corps.
Miss Frawley arrived in San An
tonic in March. 1921, and Major Cen
eraI Hartford. then in command of the
Second division at Camp Travis, &C
cepted her as guest at the camp
guest house. She received treatment
at Fort Sam Houston base hospital
for alleged wounds received in line of
duty in France.
Following the relating of her ex-
periences during the war, which in
Guided being reported as killed in
action" wounded seventeen times, be-
ing awarded the D. S. c. and partici-
pating in a number Of air raids, the
Alamo post OIL the american Legion
voted her life membership. She was
a prominent figure in all of the army
activities and received the homage of
officers and privates.
Her story received considerable
publicity and the war department in
vestigated her record and found that
there was no record of any such per-
son in the army nursing corps. A con-
fidential bulletin was issued to all
corps commanders to this effect and
the investigation which followed ulti-
mately ended in Miss Frawley's arrest.

EUROPEAN CREDITS NOT NEEDE

Washington, Feb. 3.-Reduction OF
freight rates and resumption of rail-

from which the country may get its
strongest impulses toward economic
betterment Secretary Hoover declared
today, appearing as a witness in the
Interstate commerce commission in

Hoover said make it impossible for
the commission to give immediate i'm
portant rate relief, but he declared
that improving conditions would allow
downward revisidns during the present
year.
Basic Commodities First.
When such revisions were made he
said, the commission should apply
them first to the primary basic COM
nodities- ericultural products. coal,
metals and timber-even if passenger
rates. class rates and less than carload
shipments had to be charged more to
protect railroad revenues.
This course should be adopted. he
argued. because the series of horizon
tai percentage increases by which the
rates were advanced had distorted the
existing fabric of commerce in the
United States and was moving in
dustry as a whole toward its course of
raw materials" Incidentally, rail
wages should not be expected to go

Spend cash at Homo.
I'VE talk glibly of giving billions of
credits to foreign countries to increase
our farm exports" Mr.. Hoover said.
Il wish to say with all responsibility
for the statement that billion dollars
spent upon American railways will
give more employment to our people,
more advance to our industry, more
assistance to our farmers than twice
that sum expended outside the from
tiers of the United States-and there
will be greater security for investors

CHARGED WITH AUTO THEFT.
Cleo Bryan and Gertrude StOltz Ar
rested I'm Montana.


An investigation which was started
last fall by the United States district
attorneys office against Cleo Bryan
and Gertrude Stoltz, suspected with
having stolen a motor car at Burling-
ton. Kan, has finally resulted in the
arrest of the pair at PIentywood,
Mont. according ito information re-
ceived today by A. II. Skinner. assist
ant United States district attorney.
Following the theft of the car.
which occurred on October 1. from
the garage of Ralph A. WOodford at
Burlington, Skinner says Bryan and
the woman were traced into Iowa,
Minnesota and finally to Minot. N. D..
where it was found that the car had
been sold. A warrant for their arrest
on a charge of violating the Dyer act
was issued by the United States dis
trict attorneys office at Fargo. N. D..
but the pair was not arrested until
they reached PlentywOod, Mont,
where it is said that Bryan has con-
fessed.
Skinner says that Bryan and the
woman, who is said to have a husband
from whom she is separated. will be
prosecuted in North Dakota but that
the federal authorities of some of the
other states. thru which they are al
legged to have passed after leaving
Kansas, are preparing to ask for in
dictments against them, and that
Bryan faces an equal number of pros
