OIL MEN SEE END
Of HOT OIL RACKET
WAYS and Means Provided
by Combined State and
Federal Action.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TULSA. Okla. November 21.-For
the first time since East Texas be-
came a factor in the industry three
years ago, oil men today professed
not permanent, end of the hot oil
racket.
Combined State and Federal action
provided the ways and the means.
and by the middle of next week not
a barrel of hot" oil should be
moving.
The State will be in a position to
present all intrastate movements by
next Tuesday, when a new Railroad
Commission order, validated by an
appellate court ruling Of last week,
likely will be issued. A routine hear
ing will be held November rs and
the order will follow.
Status Not Clarified.
The Federal Government has
clamped down tightly for the time
being on interstate shipments through
the Tender Board, but the board s
status has not been clarified by any
court and this point is the lone sore
spot yet remaining.
This board has stopped the ship
ment of around 10000 barrels of hot"
oil products daily The State order
will choke off at the field some 35. 900
barrels Of hot" oil derivatives that
have been moving unrestrictedly by
rail and truck from field refineries
to all parts of Texas.
Counterbalancing the present CHEEKY
outlook as it concerns East Texas was
the questioned status of the Tender
Board and unsettled marketing con-
ditions elsewhere.
Validity Questioned.
The validity Of section &C of the
national industrial recovery act also
is questioned in a test now set for
hearing November 23 This involves
the injunctive method of control in
voked by L. r. Martineau, jr., a
Federal attorney.
AS regards other marketing dis
turbances, oil men here believed an
intensive effort will be made shortly
to inaugurate on Nation wide basis
the sliding scale of dealer margins to
make price wars less profitable. An
agreement which would correct many
abuses now awaits signatures of COM
panies serving % Eastern and South
ern States.
The guaranteed margin for the re-
taller in its present form seems def
nitely on the way out. Oil men were
at odds chiefly on the avenue of re-
form to follow.

Jack Frost's Palace.
Jacks palace is surely a wonderful
place 1t looked like gigantic cave in a
mountain of ice. crystal clear and shim-
mering like diamonds and with deco
rations as delicate as the faintest lace
work. We passed through gardens of
ice flowers in the most beautiful forms
and varieties. similar to the ones you
see on window panes. Wonderfully
carved icicles hung down like vines
The shining columns that supported
the roof were ornamented with lovely
and intricate patterns Of ivy and vines.
1t was of almost impossible and un-
believable beauty and everything
shone and sparkled with great radi-
ance.
Jack was delighted with our ex-
marvellous art. and then left us for
a moment. When he returned he car
ried his magic wand.

Yes. you are right Santa" replied
Mrs. Kleinschmidt ruefully. he is mis-
chievous and did not watch him
close enough. Even while we were

and nose"
