OIL PIPE LINES
CURB URGED

A campaign for legislation Civ
ing the Interstate Commerce
Commission power to regulate the
rates charged by oil pipe line
companies will be inaugurated in
Congress today with introduction
of a bill by Representative Mar
land (D), Oklahoma.
A hearing by the Interstate
Commerce Committee of the
House, which is expected to fol
low, will bring before Congress
the conflicting interests of the
great oil companies, which own
the pipe lines, and independent
producers.
The proposal of Marland does
not touch the recommendation of
President Roosevelt that oil COM
panies be required to divorce
their pipe line subsidiaries. Mar
land said:
at is my belief that If the
pipe lines are subjected to the
same regulation as railroads,
there will be no need to divorce.

He declared that figures be-
fore the Interstate Commerce
Committee showed that oil pipe
line companies had prospered
during the depression, earnings
ranging from 80 per cent up on
the net invested capital.

CINCINNATI, April II GN.S0.
The gigantic sales set-up of Ap-

stabilize production and increase
employment throughout the Ken
lucky, West Virginia, Virginia,
and Tennessee bituminous coal
fields, began functioning here to-
day.
Headquarters of the Appalachian
Goals. located here, were official
ly opened today to direct poten-
tian output of 100000 tons an
nually. The organization, sales
agency comprising 14O producers,
represents an investment of $780,
100000.
One of the primary aims of the
agency, according to officials, will
be to stabilize prices through the
establishment of a uniform scale
on definitely fixed grades of
produce.
Heretofore it was pointed out,
coal producers in the Kentucky,
West Virginia, Virginia, and Ten
nessee area operated individually,
causing wide fluctuations in both
prices and production.

Presidents Day Prayer

Presidents Day will be observed
throughout the nation Sunday,
April 80, one week from next Sun
day, and there is increasing rev.
erent sentiment for the suggestion
first voiced in the Hearst news
papers for observance of this day.
A prayer, written by Mrs.

Senator Depew, was given to all
parishioners Of st. Matthews
Roman Catholic Church for use
on this day.
Prayer Approved
The prayer, which has been
given the approval Of the Arch

almighty God, we beseech
Thee to bless the President of
the United States and guide
him and protect him against
all enemies. May Thy Holy
Spirit inspire him in the great
difficulties he will have to over
conceive him physical and
moral strength. May he solve
our problems and guide us to
prosperity so that with cheerful
spirits we may better serve and
praise Thee"
Plans for observance of Presi-
dents Day are being made by
clergymen of all denominations,
and it is expected that the
churches of the District, as we'll
as those of the entire nation, will
be filled to the overflowing on
that day that the people may

Love Classes in High School
Hailed as Doom to Prudery

cussion of sex problems, group

quences of ''love making and

Success Cited
These are the practical results
today of experiments in Utah
high schol courtship classes in
Stituteds more than a year ago in
Sanpete and Sewer counties, &C
cording to DR.. E. E. Erickson,
philosophy professor at Utah
University.
Professor Erickson, for 20 years
teacher of sociological subjects
at the State institution, started
the classes to prove his theory
that individualism in matters
of courtship is an inadequate
philosophy for the Twentieth
Century and we need a new deal
in treating the deepest emotion
of the human race"
The professor abhors the inter-
pretation that he advocates a
scientific courtship or adoption Of
a standardized formula for young
men and women in building their
love nest"
Foe Of Prudery
He aims through rational edu-
cation approach to eliminate
"evasiveness, prudery and fearful
ness" of courtship and marriage;
and to counteract the "flippant
and banal manner of handling
love" by best sellers.
