WORLD WAR VETERANS

Claim They Were Cheated Out Of
 Valuable Lands

WASHINGTON March 1S.-Fifteen World war veterans are engaged in a battle with II oil companies for pos session of valuable homestead lands in the rich Salt Creek oil fields of wyoming near the famous Teapot Dome reserve.
 The returned soldiers had taken up claims in the oil districts. but these were cancelled by the interior depart ment on the ground that the oil com panies had prior rights. In ejectins the war veterans the government also accused them of renting the home tead lands for pool rooms and board ing houses instead of developing them for agriculture.
 But the veterans have raised the complaint that they were simply euchered out of their rights by wealthy oil companies who were able to employ high-priced lawyers.
 Consequently, a few days after Secretary of the Interior Work took office, succeeding Secretary Fall, who retired After widespread criticism of his Teapot Dome oil deal. the records of the Nase were re-examined and Work dcided to hear an appeal to re- open the cases.

WOULD KEEP BANKERS SAFE FROM CHICKENS. SEEKING THEIR DOUGH
Are Financial Leaders More Susceptible to WiIes
 of Women?

CHICAGO. H., March 1s.-A law protecting bank depositors from the iridiscretions of "bankers in their cotage" who may be led into tempta- ton by beautiful vamps possessed of longing for diamonds, furs and au- tomobiles, has been urged on the Illinois legislature in resolution rassed by the Chicago Federation of Labor.
 The vulnerablity of aged. bald headed men to the wiles of sirens is formally cited. as well as specific instances during the past few years where bankers have left town. com mitted suicide or otherwise leaped into the headlines to an accompany ing wall of financially bereaved de- positors.
 The labor body wants the solons at tory guarantee fund law. which will guard the public against such losses
 John J. Walt, delegate from the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers union, introduced the resolution.
 Walt admits that bankers maintain as high a moral batting average as any other class of men, perhaps bet ter. but bankers. he declares, need more looking after than the others.
 Walt is comparatively bald-headed himself, but says that "bachelors over 40 years old are by that time immune to gold-diggers," and that he is an iron worker and doesn't want to be banker anyway
 Money" he declared, following an impassioned speech for tine resolu- ton, lis frequently entrusted to old men, fathers of families. who are the heads of banks. I claim it is q well known fact that these old fei- lows, entering into their dotage, get the chicken fever.
 Let a young and pretty chicken come along, and the old banker IS almost sure to fall for her. These girls are gold-diggers and the oid' bald headed fellow builds love bun galows for them, buys them fine clothes and automobiles and things and the dcpositors get stung."
