purchase of natural gas and follow-
ing his address, a resolution was
drafted supporting the proposal.
"I can't shed big crocodile tears
over taxing companies that pay the
producers two cents per 1,000 cubic
feet for their gas and then turn
urountl and, sell it for UV cents per
1,000 cubic feet after transporting
it 25 miles," said Senfctcr Small.
To Remove Burden
"There is no method by which wc
can tax only the gas transported
from, this state into chers as that
wculd constitute a violation of In-
terstate commerce protection. Thcie-
fcre, that leaves only® the system
of taxing gas as produced from the
well and \u> can make certain
exemptions that will minimize, cr
remove the burden on the small
producer," said Senator Small.
Senator Thomas Pollard Tyler,
preceding: Senator Small said East
Texas Is not unalterably opposed to
proration but that the country feels
11 should be treated fairly. He said
that opposition to proration will
continue until fairness i.s assured.
A resolution also was adopted it
the afternoon session requesting
scientific departments of all organi-
zations affiliated with the oil indus-
try to experiment and fina, if pos-
sible new uses for petroleum.

Colonel Leeper

SHERMAN, Mar. 2. (A')—Colonel
Graves Leeper, 70, former secretary
of state in Oklahoma, died here to-
day after an acute attack of dia-
betes.
At his bedside were a bi oilier J.

The writer lias noted tliat other
fcolumjni.M; Bit many ideas from,
their home life. This department
likewise will be broadened in scope
and authenticity. Of course, the
Pampan has always been an ideal-

ple, but the bonafldp report on the
subject is just beginning. ALso. it
was a made-in-Pampa wedding.

There was toast for breakfast,
white bread for lunch, and white
bread for dinner. We will have bis-
cuits as soon as we get unpacked
and locate the recipe. . . Thera are

but one has to read the ads in
connection and that Is like talking
shop.

Temporarily, the pampan will
light the gas and possibly dry a dish
or two occasionally. Another new
hu'band has a better idea. Ewing

turns on the gas at any hour dp-

age; quite a Jump from that In
which husbands pulled stove wood
out of the snow drifts and banked
the fire carefully each night before
retiring. If our biscuits aren't too
edible at the start, Pampa bakers
will certainly be doing the Pampan
a favor. And guests have been get-

Charm schools may be all right
in helping wives hold their husbands
but we heads of Pampa households
mu«t Insist on annual cooking
schools as well . . . The Pampan
likes sauer kraut; the wife likes
whole wheat bread. So far we have
had neither. The arrangement is
probably very temporary. After the
first quarrel, the Pampan will have
his giant—and corn bread, butter-
milk. and turnip greens. Thoughts
of these rustic edibles almost make
us ready for a scrap . . Pardon us
while we dodge that broom!

We've been too busy to figure up

In all, the central ollice and the
regional officc here received 5,000

tal to date tc a little more than

President Hoover's veto and in-

50 per cent of their face value.
A tctal of 1800 checks was put
into the mails as compared with
1,100 Saturday. The day's total in
mcney was $000,000.
Meanwhile, the treasury moved to
obtain funds fcr meeting the de-
mand and congress hea:d a pro-
posal to increase it.
Senator Berkley, Democrat, Ken-
tucky, introduced a resolution to
eliminate the present restriction un-
der which certificates less than two
years old have no loan value.
He asked immediate vonsideration
by unanimous consent, tut Chair-
man Smcct of the finance commu-
te? objected. Barkley then warned
he would move that rules be sus-
pended to bring his measure up
for debate.
The treasury has announced n

be instituted this month. On this
amount $1,100,000,000 is to be de-

A resolution to permit drought-

voted by congress was adopted to-
day by the senate.
A little later it was notified by
Secretary Hyde the agriculture de-

In parts of Russia, snow falls so
fast and long that It covers cars
completely . . . Sunday was the first
time Pampa paving failed to keep
traffic moving. Backing out from
the curb on snow and ice is a sci-
ence.

But cars were net alone m failing
to negotiate the snow. A Pampa ld3
wagon, pulled by two mules, was
stalled in front of The New* office
yesterday morning. Whether the
mules needed chains on their hoofs
or a fire under their persons was
not apparent, but at any rate the
vehicle moved on only after much
pulling, tuning, whipping, and
words to match, with spectators as-
sisting.
Terrace Completed
On County Land
Hie finishing touched have been
put on the terraces on the farm of
John Bell Jr., eight mlle.3 souht-
west of Pampa. The lines on the
140-acre field were run (luring the
terracing demonstration put on by
County Agent Ralph Thomas last
July. He was assisted by M. It.
Bentley, Extension Agricultural en-
gineer, College Station, and A. K.
Shcrt of the Federal Land bank, of
Houston.
The terraces were thrown up with
a sulky plow followed by a ditching
machine to the height of about 24
Inches, with average of 30 fee;.
After the terraces were built the
land was flat broke between the
terraces throwing the dirt toward
the terraces. The first crop for the
terraced land will be grain sorgumti
planted in rows run with ihe ter-
races.
This is the first land to be ter-
raced on the Plains of Gray coun-
ty and it- being watched with much
interest by the farmers of this sec-
tion.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Match
2. lyW—Recommendations for com-
plete revision of oil proration en-
forcement in Oklahoma were mad?
today by Governor W. H. Murray,
fresh from a Texas conference ut
which he urged that mid continent
states bar Importers of foreign oils.
He said he would ask the state
legislature to provide for the pay-
ment of umpires and other enforce-
ment officers out of a tax of one-
twentieth of one per cent which hs
proposed be levied on oil produc-
tion. in addition to the present
gross production tax.
Payment Changed
The effect of this would be to
eliminate payment of umpires by
prorating companies, the present
method which has been attached, by
independent producers as placing
enforcement indirectly in the hands
of major companies.
Murray's plan also would call for
boards to surve without pay in each
state field, to advise with the cor-
poration commission as to appoint-
ment of umpires to be selected by
the governor or to bear his approval.
The field boards would be consulted
on all proration matters.
Not Satisfactory
Ti h announcement followed re-
ceipt by Murray of a letter from
Chairman Paul Walker of the cor-
poration commission urging that
umpires be named and paid by vhe
state. Walker said the present sys-
tem was "contrary to both our the-
ory cf government and to thft sat-
isfactory administration of the
laws."
Governor Murray* said, "The pro-
ration law is for the benefit Cif all;
why not let all participate in die
cost?"

sion on the request by the Sinclair

WASHINGTON, March 2, (A')—
Opposition to the Jenkins bill to re-
strict Immigration for two years as
an employment aid crumbled In the
house today and the measure pass-
ed by 295 to 83.
It was sent to the senate where
there is considerable doubt whether
it will receive favorable considera-
tion this session.
The measure would reduce quota
immigration from Europci'n coun-
tries ninety per cent. Entrants
from western hemisphere countries
would be limited to ten per cent of
those coming In the fiscal year 1929.
This is the first time immigra-
tion from North and South Ameri-
can countries has been legislated
against. The state department,
however, has been refusing visas to
many Latin-Americans since last
I all under the provision Viiich pre-
vents entry to those who might be-
come public charges.
MONTEREY. Calif., March 2. i/Vi
Miss Edna May Cooper, movie ac-
tress by profession and aviatrix by
avocation, was located here today
aJteu Jie Vad ibeen mysteriously
missing a week from Hollywood.
Miss Cooper was In the Monterey
hospital, under guard, recovering
from head injuries. How she obtain-
ed the injuries mystified physicians
and police.
It was learned Miss Cooper had
been registered tit a local hotel .sev-
eral days under the nam? of Caro-
line Hope f.t Los Angeles. She show-
ed signs of Illness yesterday and Dr.
Hugh Dormody was called by hotel
employes. He found she had an
abrasion, "possibly a week old," on
the back of her head and bruises
and contusions on her body, espe-
cially on the right thigh.
Miss Coeper was removed at Dr.
Dorinody's orders to the Monterey
hospital where she was Identified
by Mrs. Ruth Morris, as Miss Coop-
er. Mrs. Morris said she knew Miss
Cooper a few years ago on the Las-
Icy lot at Hollywood.
How Miss Cooper got here was as
much a mystery as how she acquir-
ed the Injuries. She had little to say
but told authorities she thought .she
was in Santa Monica when she got
here as she started for Santa Mon-
ica when she left Los Angeles.
Joseph Duckwell, Monterey taxi-
cab driver, said he picked the young
woman up while she was wandering
aimlessly in Cannel, nearby art col-
ony. Chief cf Police Oyer, however,
said.Miss Cooper got off a Los An-
geles-San Francisco train last Wed-
nesday night and took a cab to the
hotel from which she was removed
to the hospital. She apparently was
without funds when taken to the
hospital.
Hotel employes said the actress
telephoned to Joseph Martin, an oil
man In Los Angeles last night. Mrs.
Mary Cooper, Miss Cooper's mother,
also talked by telephone with her
daughter. What Miss Cooper and
Martin said to each other could not
be determined and Mrs. Cooiier .«iid
she wus unable to explain how her
daughter got to Monterey.
With Bobby Trout, Miss Cooper
won the woman's world flying en-
durance record some months ago.
The,recent disappearance started a
wide search fcr.
Her injuries were not considered
serious and Dr. Dormody said she
could leave the hospital when she
pleased.
