GIRL'S RIGHT Court Upgol_ds Woman Who Smokes on Street —Busy-body Scored INDIANAPOLLS, Ind., Aug. 7.— The right of a woman to smoke a cigarette on the street was upheld by Wilbur Royse, judge pro tem, of | Marion County superior court here, Judge Royse imposed a ten-day jail sentence and a $50 fine upon C. W. Hardwick, fifty, an in- surance salesman, who vented his feelings against smoking by wom- en by flipping a cigarette from the mouth of Mrs. Marjorie Palecco jand then slapping her three times. | George Palecco, her husband, had Jjust given her a “fag” from his ipack and she was climbing into |an automobile when the incident | occurred. The husband jumped lout of the car and led Hardwick to a traffic policeman near by, | who arrested Hardwick on a charge of assault and batlery. Judge Royse scored Hardwick and commended the husband, who, 'he said, “displayed more restraint than the court would have done.” Turning to Hardwick, Judge Royse said: “Keep your nose out of other people’s business in the future. Such rascals as you contribute to the ruin of America.” WIFE'S LOVE COOLED WHILE ON VACATION LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 7— | After Kenneth Murray Miller and his wife, Rosa M.

OIL OPERATORS UNITE TO CURB OVERPRODUCTION {Flood of Black Gold" Will Be Checked — Once Blessing, Now Curse TOPEKA, Kas, Aug. T7.—Faced with ruinously low prices for crude oil in every major field, the south- west is takihg stern measures to check the flood of “black gold” which once was hailed as a bless- ing but now has become a curse. In Kansas independent operators whose wells have béen supplying one-third the state's output voted to shut down completely until quo- tations returned to a level at which they could make a profit. This agreement took effect July 5. Oklahoma Shuts Down In Oklahoma Gov. W. H. Mur- ray conferred with oil men who urged the desirability of a state- wide shutdown in the face of post- ed crude quotations as low as 7 cents a barrel. Nearly half of the famous Okla- homa City field had been closed, it was estimated in July. However, because of contracts calling for specific deliveries, which many buyers refuse to waive, nu- merous Oklahoma operators favor- ing a shutdown were unable to join the movement. So serious did the situation be- come in Texas, where discovery of the new field in the eastern part of the state added to the woes of overproduction, that Gov. Ross £ (Sterling summoned the legislature in special session July 14. Injunctions Nullify Prorations Existing proration arrangements, under control of the state railroad commission, had beeff"virtually nul- lified through the filing of in- Jjunction suits. These actions, tak- ing effect at once, prevented limi- tation of production during an in- definite period of legal procedure and delay. The Texas house of representa- tives, shortly after convening, au- thorized two investigations to de- termine whether the demoralized condition of the ‘ofl industry was due to violation of the anti-trust laws.
