Oklahoma Output
Dropse Past Week

Production of Oklahoma during the
past week shows a decline Of $500
barrels as compared with production
of the preceding week The drop is
attributed chiefly to falling off in the
yield % the big wells in the Lyons
Quinn pool. and the bringing in of
only a few new producers. During
the week. Burbank showed a slight
increase and the Continental pool near
Bristow took a hop, but the decline of
the Lyons-Quinn field. offset these
rises. Production of the state by
fields curing the past week was az
follows:
Hewitt, So 000 barrels.
Healdton, 22 600 barrels
Cushing, $4,000 barrels
Burbank, 4j 500 barrels.

the past several months. the faith

SLUMP IN DIVORCES
ASPROBE GOES ON
Drop Of 81 Per Cent During
One Month, as Only 13
Cases Are Filed.
From 4 sta1 Correspondent.

SAo1u q Ctah IOErttpCu0eut.
ALEXANDRIA, February 9.-There
has been noticeable decrease in the
divorce business In Alexandria since
the public criticism Of the existing
conditions assumed prominent propor.
tions nearly month ago. This fact
is shown by the records of the corpo-
ration court Of this. city, which court
handles more than 80 per cent of the
divorce cases here. 1t is set forth by
the records that there have been only
thirteen divorce cases filed from Jan
uary Is. to the present day, while
during the period Of from December
Is, 1921, to January z. 1922, thirty
cases were brought to the courts and
during the period between November
Is and December Z, 1920, the total OF
cases reached forty-one. all of, which,
according to those VINO are scrutiniz-
ing the records. IS conclusive that the
divorce business has experienced q
slump Of more than 81 per cent in one
month.
II was pointed out that these COM
parisons would be borne out by. the
corresponding period throughout the
previous twelve or eighteen months
in which period, 1t is charged, the
alleged divorce evil in this city at.
tanned Its greatest height.
Future Course Uncertesa.
Whether or not this lull in the
divorce practice will continue for any
length Of tinfe after the committee
of lawyers appointed by the Alex.
andria Bar Association has completed
its Investigation is difficult to de.
termine at this time. according tc
the views Of those persons in touch
with the situation.
However. there are some who ex.
pressed the belief today that the
divorce practice in Alexandria will
never again assume the prominence
that 1t had during the past twelve OF
eighteen monthss or especially at the
time when the public criticism be.
