two other operators who had
dispatched lease men by train.
The land belongs to a widow
who a few weeks ago was
anxious to sell the land in fee
simple on the basis of farm
land. How much she received
for the lease alone has not
been disclosed but it is be-
lieved that the competition set
up by other buyers, using tele-
/ graphy, resulted in fat bon
us for Mrs. Hintrager.
The farm covers 500 acres. The
Lundgren we'll is in SEA SWA
23-37-5W. The Hintrager farm
covers the SWA and E1aNEA Sec.

7 Pardee obtained also the NJ T.
Teterud tract of so acres in E y
NEA Sec. "a, giving him 400 acres
of highly desirable land. Pardee
is anxious to develop considerable
new production to care for require
ments of the Idaho Refining Co. at
Pocatello, which market was devel-
oped through the efforts of Castle
& Pardee.
Nadeau Brothers secured an OPP
Grating agreement on the ROBERT
Crowley permit which includes 100
acres close to the well and con-
siderable acreage in the general
area between the Darling pool and
the Border oil field across which
the Cut Bank sand is known to eX
tend. The Crowley permit expires
on January / unless commercial
production OF oil or gas is obtafned
by that day. Accordingly, Nadeau
rushed rig onto location
in NV SW ANWA 25-37-5W. 1t
is $50 feet east of the west line !
and 1870 feet south of the north
line. With good luck it is be-
lieved that they can make $3.50
feet of hole in the next 20 days
but the race will be watched with
keen interest.
Nadeau Brothers have S15NWH /
Sec. rs and W1aNW "A Sec. "a,
each tract within half mile of the
Yukon producer.
Should the Nadeau well get pro-
luction it will call for an offset
by Pardee and Pardee's well in

Lack of pipeline con-
lections makes 1t necessary to haul

An idea of the size of the Cut Bank

WOMAN LAWYERS
HEAR JUDGE ALLEN
Says Constitution Makers
Knew WED Have to Read
Between the Lines

Judge Florence E. Allen of the
United States Court of Appeals at
Cincinnati tod the Women's Bar As
sociation last night the trainers Of
the Constitution realized I'VE would
have to read between the lines" of
that document.
Speaking at the 21st annual ban
quet of the association at the May
flower Hotel, the woman jurist, who
on several occasions has been promi-
nently mentioned for place on the
Supreme Court, said the courts today
are attempting to decide cases by "the
spirit rather than the letter of the
law"
Judge Allen also said:
The courts are giving greater cen
sideration than ever before to the
rights of the individual without re-
lation to wealth or station.
The courts are giving due delibera-
tion to both sides of controversies,
without which there can be no JUS
tice.
The trainers of the Constitution set
high aims for future generations to
strive for in rendering justice.
conceptions of justice differ in
periods, countries and under various
economic conditions" Judge Allen
said. But we must realize that JUS
tice doesn't always give us what We
desire. When was child, usually
wanted two pieces of pie, but jds-
tice saw to it that only got one"
Bolitha j. Laws, president of the
District Bar Association, spoke on
1.-The Lawyers Goal" tracing the de-
velopment of law from the old common
law code, through equity and down
to the present. Mr.. Laws saw the So
luton of the problem of administering
justice in paralleling the simple con-
cepts laid down by Christ.
DR.. Mary B. Harris, superintendent
of the Federal Industrial Institution
for Women in Anderson, w. Va, told
of the system of education by voca-
tional training, and recreation and en-
tertainment programs carried out at
the institution She said the beads Of
prisons hold the power of life and
death over the spirits of the inmates
and this solemn and sacred RESPONSE
bility must constantly be borne in
mind"
Judge Annabel Matthews, president
of the women's group, reviewed its
history since establishment in 1917 and
mentioned the early move for District
suffrage. Miss Helen R. CarloSS, chair
man of ARRANGEMENTS of the banquet,
presided.

ing"

house for the family.

The Government told the Supreme
Court yesterday that decision in

ruptcy Act would have a catastrophe
effect upon the constitutional develop
ment of the Nation"
Under the legislation, passed as a
substitute for an act rejected by the
Supreme Court, municipalities and
improvement and school districts are
permitted to reduce their indebted
ness in Federal bankruptcy courts.
Solicitor General Robert H. Jack
son filed the brief for the Government
in connection with litigation to be
argued in few days. The Govern
ment has appealed from a decision by
a three Judge Federal District Court
in California holding the legislation
unconstitutional as applied to irriga-
ton districts.
Earlier in the day the attorneys
general Of Washington State and
Arkansas filed briefs as friends of
the court" urging that the legislation
be upheld.

ALABAMA MEDICAL
CENTER IS PLANNED

$10,OOO,000 to Be Provided for
Tuscaloosa Project by Two
Foundations.
Bv the Associated Press.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 26-
Gov Bibb Graves today announced
the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foun-
dations would provide an endowment
of s10,000,0O0 for construction of a
medical center at Tuscaloosa, in con-
junction with the University of Ala
bama and the State Mental Hos
pitals.
The medical center, one of several
to be established in strategic centers
of the country, will provide a four
year medical school for the univer-
sity, a general hospital, a psyche
pathic hospital, nurses school and
Statewide clinics.
Col. H. o. Murfee, secretary OF an
Alabama citizens committee that
took part in negotiations for estab-
fishing the center, said similar CEN
ters already have been set up at the
University of Michigan. University of
Iowa and the University of Colorado.
He said a large part of the $10,-
100000 would be expended in medical
research.
Decision to establish the center in
Alabama was made in Birmingham
Friday at a conference attended by
the Governor, Col. Murfee and DR..
G. M. Hincks Of Toronto, Ontario,
founder of the Canadian Society for

and many Of them were hopelessly

and many Of them were hopelessly
insolvent."
He said an agreement reducing the
amount Of the Indebtedness to figure
which the taxing agency could pay
was obviously the only solution.
"Yet in large proportion of the
cases." Mr.. Jackson continued, mi
nority creditors, either because Of
cupidity or because of obstinacy. have
blocked the consummation Of plan
regarded as satisfactory both by the
debtor and the majority of its cerdi-
tors.
Legislative authority Is necessary
to coerce the obdurate minority into
acceptance OF satisfactory plan. This
legislation is beyond the powers Of
the, States. 1t is, therefore, plain
that the urgently needed relief can
be obtained only through Federal
legislation"

Equal of -Four Full
Blood Streams.
BY the Associated Press.


DES MONIES, Iowa, March 90
Others have given four full blood
streams to the veins of James Pryor.
80, of Des Moines, and yet his body
cries for more.
Mr.. Pryor, victim of rare anemic
condition, has received four gallons of
blood through 80 transfusions in the
last two years. A 160-pound man has
about gallon of blood in his system.
Physicians today said he may have
to keep on borrowing blood the rest
of his life. They have diagnosed his
case as apastic anemia, disease of
the bone marrow caused by a decrease
in the red corpuscles.
Three times he has been believed on
the verge of death, but on each occa-
sion he staged a comeback on trans
fusion.
IT never have felt the fear Of death" :"
he said, although the suspense OF
waiting to see what would happen is
rather wearing"
He is scheduled soon for a blood
count to determine whether he will
always need new blood injected into
his veins at regular intervals.

Chamberlain is reported to have promised to keep the controversy over Djibouti out of the discus sions with Mussolinl but believ- ed he would have difficulty in ruling out talk concerning Tun- isia which is linked with any consideration of the Mediterran- can status quo.
 The French meanwhile made a show of firmness and readiness. Two Warships steamed into Dji- bout and French Senagelese troops made ready to embark from Marsailles to reinforce the East African garrison.

UNDATED. Dee. % (Pl- Op- posing armies in Spain battled on almost even terms while strife oyer Italian aspirations for French territory narrowed down to two areas, Tunis, French pro- tectorate in North Africa and Dii bout, French port in Somaliland in East Africa.
 Despite insurgent reports that twenty government Warplanes had been shot down in the great est air battle of the siX-day-old offensive in Catalonia, Franco's gains were apparently of minor consequence. Advices from both sides indicated that intense fight ing went on through the night in central and southern Lerida fronts. In the north government forces withdrew from Mount Boada to strongly fortified posi- tons guarding the Aretest Tremp road.
