Oklahoma Windiesf Slater

The weather bureau says that the
question as to which is the windiest
state in the Union has never been ac-
curately determined and 1t Is probably
impossible to make positive state
ment. However, it is quite probable
that Oklahoma as a whole Is the
windiest state in the Union. This 10
due to the fact that the winds are
rather constant at moderately high
velocities during the entire year in
this state; in many other sections the
winds may at times average higher
than in Oklahoma, nevertheless, they
are not so constant, or cover so COM
pletely the entire state.

 The door opened, and the Doc tors secretary entered.

 "Yes, Studley. Our wayward hu morist. here, won't be happy un til you have joined the circle upor which he has intruded. Now, MT Wave, we are busy people"

 Dr. Studley glanced at the ex pressionless face of Dr. Charters Since the Chief had sent for him without other message, presumabl, it was his intention that this quee chap should be given a straight l forward answer.

NORMA SHEARER IN 'STRANG- FRS MAY KISS"; CLIVE BROOK IN SILENCE" AT NEW GARDEN.

The story is fast-moving. flashing from climax to climax, plunging it's audience from dismay to suspense, lifting 1t to the heights of hope and exuita- ton with each surprising twist of its strange plot.
