WHOLESALE OIL
THEFT CHARGED
To IS IN TEXAS
Fields Alleged Looted of
Millions of Barrels by
Secret Pipelines.

By United Press
LONGvIEw. Tex. May "A
sheaf of 213 charges. alleging whole
sale theft of East Texas oil direct
from the wells. in million-barre
lots, was submitted 70 a grand jury
here today.
Eighteen men are charged with
felony in the theft Of oil from five
wells at Gladewater. boom town
near here. during the past seven
months. Indications are that their
arrest is only the beginning OF a
state campaign to stop widespread
theft reported in the field.
The oil is valued at approximately
SO cents the barrel, or $3.50, 900 for
the million barrels believed to have
been purloined.
Secret Pipes Used
The thefts are alleged TO have
been accomplished through use Of
secret underground pipes. which
flowed oil from the wells to stor-
age tanks and thence into railroad
tank cars. Some of the oil went
to refiners as far away as Chalu-
mette, La, it was charged.
Those arrested include a deputy
field supervisor, whose duty it is
to keep down production in the
field, a former deputy supervisor.
several operators of oil properties,
and a Gladewater train agent.
Magnitude of the field, which has
5000 wells scattered over more than
1000 square miles of territory,
facilitate such operations, it was
pointed out. The state "proration"
force charged with keeping wells
to the allowed sixty-one barrels a
day can not check all wells to see If
secret lines are attached.
Going on for Months
Colonel L. S. Davidson, COM
mander of the small national guard
unit aiding the "proration" force.
said he would show the grand jury
records to prove that wholesale
thievery has been going on for sew
eral months"
A line in which authorities said
oil was taken from the wells in
violation Of proration orders, was
uncovered as the men were arrest
ed. The line passed within 200
yards Of the national guard camp,
but District Attorney John E. Tay-
Tor said its location was learned
only after three privates gained
confidence of the alleged theft ring.
Five men we're sought today at
Henderson, in the next county. on
indictments alleging they conspired
to. steal oil or stole oil in a similar
manner. A special grand jury will
convene there next week.
Some Not Reported
There have been statements made
that from IS to 20 per cent of the
oil leaving the field is not reported
TO the state. The field is allowed
to produce $4,000 barrels daily. 1t
can produce. if all wells flow with
out restriction, several million bar
rels daily.
Major Harry Johnson, provost
marshal of the guard. estimated
one of the wells involved in the
charges was producing every hour
its legal allowance for two full days.
Those charged in the alleged
theft at Gladewater include: E. M.
Daniels, Henderson, a deputy super

sion; Paxton Grey, a former deputy
supervisor; M. c. Torbert, Glade
water station agent; j. T. and G.

Three No Trumps were bid over

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

OCd4 G44 D. DCCShA44ch44s
When being served a salad,
coffee, and cake, and the table
is set with a plain fork, salad
fork, knife and spoon, is It
proper to use the salad fork or
the plain fork for the salad?
I have noticed that a great
many people use the salad fork
for their cake. Is this proper?
The salad which was served
was a tomato stuffed with crab
meat. would the tomato in
this salad make any difference
as to the proper form of eating
it?
I shall greatly appreciate
your answer to this question,
for IL people discussed it, and
are awaiting your answer.
We are aware of the fact
that the table should be set so
that the first fork to be used
is placed on the extreme left.
E.
If I had been served this
menu with these silver pieces, I
should have used a knife and
fork for this salad. This is the
kind of salad that seems to de-
mand knife and fork, for it is
of. the consequential" kind that
needs cutting. Now if the knife
that was placed was a special
salad knife, the partner of the
salad fork, I should have used
the salad fork and the salad
knife. But, if, on the other
hand, the knife was more part
ner of the plain fork, then I
should have used these two for
the salad, and have used the
salad fork for the cake.
never would have left that
knife unused when there was
that kind of salad to manipu-
late! And apparently the
hostess who set the table felt
as do, for she placed the
knife to be used.
The salad fork is so like the
so-called pastry fork that there
is no reason in the world why
they should not be interchange
able. Very few people now
days have special pastry forks.

For Light Trimmed Dark Dresses

It's too late for an all-over
dark dress; it's almost too
early for a light one. Perhaps
you've thought of a bright
color. But you'll be more in
faShion-and we'll wager hap
pier, too-if you get a dress
with white or light touches!
Preferably dark dress 80
that the accent is more pro-
nounced.
Plain or Print or Else.
Lingerie-trimmed dresses fall
into the class, Of course, but
we're neglecting them this
time to talk about some of the
other interesting ways the light
on-dark idea is done-with
plain materials or with prints,
and even embroidery. A light
accent at the neckline is a
touch of relief for dark COS
tunes and a becoming back
ground for the face. Those
accent touches also appear at
the waistline or on the cuffs,
or both-or all down the
bodice. You'll find there are
simply numberless ingenious
ways that dark dresses are
frightened, if you want some
variations from lace or lingerie
trim. And we've sketched three
attractive daytime frocks,
smart in these new ways.
Another Scarf Trick
The center sketch shows an
idea as original, we'd say, as
anything you've seen all sea-
son. An idea that took its
inspiration from the amazingly
delightful tricks that scarfs are
doing on every side. For this
dress almost is a. scarf!
Certainly, that detachable tri.
angle with one point pinioned
beneath the belt, is what
catches your eye. The two mar
row ends tie at back of the.
neck, and so allow the scarf
to do a perfect cowl drape in
front. We honestly can't be
too enthusiastic-it's a grand
scarf, alternating stripes with
polkadots in repeating the color
of the dress and combining it
with white. And that crush
able silk belt strikes a strong
note of contrast. A black and
white scarf, for instance, with
red belt when the dress is
black; the same idea in navy;
and on a brown dress the scarf
is brown and white and the
belt green.
Besides the stunning color
combinations, a great incentive
to buying this flat crepe dress
is the thought of other scarfs
to wear with it, and other ways
Of draping them-for the dress

CHAPTER 43

Lily Lou stood, shivering
while they sewed her into the
pale blue and brown peasant
dress in which she was to sing
Micaela. 1t had been made for
a larger woman. 1t was the
wrong color. She twitched and
jerked at it, in a futile effort
to make it hang better.
"It does very WE'LL" Madame
Mailman said, after a hasty
glance, returning to the mirror
to finish beading her eyelasheS.
But the wig is impossible. I
can't wear it. They haven't a
decent one."
Then go without one. Wear
O shawl over your head. The
French don't expect grand cos
tunes, anyway. It's the singing
that matters, over here"
The Curtain Up
It's the singing that mat
ters Lily Lou went to
stand in the wing, turning it
over in her mind. moving every
minute or two, to get out of
someone's way. There was con-
fusion, excitement, sharp argu-
mept, then a sudden hush. The
curtain had gone up.
Before she realized it, it was
time for her to go on. No time
to be frightened. When the
moment for her song ap-
preached she felt no fear, no
emotion of any kind. She sang,
and knew that she sang we'll.
The tenor was delighted. "a
pleasure to sing with such a
Macaela," he said, gallantly.
And then-for the first time
she was frightened. She had
gotten through the first act.
But how in the world could she
get through the rest? Her
knees were jelly. Her throat
felt as though it were stuffed
with cotton wool.
Alone Again
In search of comfort and
reinsurance, she followed Nahl-
man to her dressing room, but
it was already filled with
people, waiting for her. Nahl-
man was too busy accepting
congratulations to notice her.
She returned to her place in
the wings, a little forlorn and
frightened. She realized that
in all that vast audience there
was not a soul to care whether
she succeeded or failed. An

Your Health
.AndProper er
Diet
ByLOGAN CLENDENING, MD

ByLOGAN CLENDENING, MD.
A year or two ago wrote a
piece of advice which went as
follows: "Avoid cathartics as you
would the appearance Of evil"
A hundred people have asked
me what in the world I meant
by it. They say they couldn't
live without cathartics.
Two things were meant. One
was the danger of giving ca
thartics when an. acute abdon1'
inal pain occurred. Acute
abdominal pain with fever in
most cases is due to appendi-
citis. The use of a cathartic
in appendicitis is very danger
Gus. The best rule is not to
take a cathartic at all in the
presence of acute pain in the
abdomen. Many lives have been
lost by disregarding this rule.
Druggists are particularly bad
offenders on this score. 1t seems
instructive on the part of a
druggist to, give a customer who
wants something for stomach
ache a dose of salts or castor
oil. If they must treat patients
who seek advice for bellyache,
druggists should dispense pare
goric, which at least does no
harm.
The second thing meant by
the advice to avoid cathartics is
that Of all drug habits the cath
artic habit is the most preva-
lent. And it dose a great deal
of harm. Most people take the
cathartic before they are sure
whether they need it. They
take some such drug regularly
until they have produced a
state in the large intestine that
borders on actual disease.
This condition. is frequently
called "colitis" nowadays. Ger
tainly the cathartic habit is the
commoneSt cause of such colitiS.
In fact, curious as it may seem,
the cathartic habit is the COM
monest cause of constipation.
Victims keep on taking cathar-
tics until the nervous mechan-
ism Of the large intestine is
completely upset and the mu.
couS membrane of the inside Of
the colon has been either irri-
tated or is unresponsive to any
thing but the strongest stimuli.
They continue taking larger and
larger doses and changing from
one cathartic to another. Final
ly. they are intestinal crippleS
and practically drug addictS.
It is difficult to convince
some Of these invalids that they
can get alone without their
drugs. Even more difficult to
teach them that they will be all
the healthier when the cath
artics are stopped. Of course,
it takes little time to get the
colon back to a normal con-
dition, but when that is done
the patients enter on a period
of health, the like of which they
have never known before.
The habit is so widespread
and there is so little realization
of the harm which is done,
that we will devote several ar
ticles to the subject this week.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
7 am in desperate need Of
advice, as I have had nothing
but heartaches lately. To be-
gin with, my best friend, girl
for whom I have done every
thing, even to making her
clothes, has been playing
around with my husband. When
I first heard rumors Of this !
could not believe it, but last
week I accidentally ran across
them together at the movies
when my husband was sup
posed to be at a meeting. When
he came home he confessed
that he had been going out
with her for six years. He has
asked for another chance, and
says that he loves me, but I
know he still loves her. What
can I do to arouse his interest
and love for me? At present 7
have no faith in anything. I
am young and others think me
attractive, but somehow my
husband doesn't seem to.
PATTY.
I am not so sure that your
husband loves this other girl
who has treated you so BADLY.
Indeed, he says that he loves
you, and wants you to give him
another chance. Why not do
it, and try to study out the
reason why you have drIfted
apart. Perhaps you have been
too absorbed in household cares,
or have neglected your clothes
or appearance. My advice would
be to surprise him by taking
particular care to please him IN
every possible way-plan excel
lent meals, serve them attract
lively, and no matter how hard
you've worked to this end,
when he comes home, manage
to look as crisp and charming
as a million-dollars advertise
ment in the magazinA5. Best OF
luck to you.
