"Of the approximate $30,000 ob tained from lease slaes. State 041 Gns company was said to nave paid nearly $15,000 aa commissions and to have expended about $10,000 on overhead, advertising supplies and miscellaneous expense. "Under court finding In Marlon county, the oil leases were held to be a security within the definition of the Oregon blue sky law. As a result, the corporation was fined $500 and O. W. Clark as president was fined $250 for having sold the leases without a permit. "Bitter Business Bureau reported that at one time Mr. Clark was con nected with People's Gas & Oil com pany. Seattle, whose offlclala are un der federal moll-fraud Indictments.

(EST) fSW YORK. Mar 9. (API For St minutes th night ot May 14 ths moon will b. totally scllpssd over tht entire United states and North America am over tb wen am part of South America. The earth's shadow will complete ly oover the moon at 8:18 a. m. Eastern Standard time and will (tart sliding off the moon's faoe again at 4:00 a. m. For the eastern part of the Unit ed States this means that the end of the eclipse will be seen on a netting moon In the west while dawn Is lighting the eastern horl son. The sun rises on the morning of May 1 at 4:46 a. m., and the moon sets five mmutes later. The preliminaries of this celestial show will be visible to sharp eyes shortly after mldnlRht. At 12:44 a. m. Eastern Standard time, the penumbra the partial shadow ot the earth, will begin to veil the moon's face. The penutrbra does not blot out the moon, but only darkens It. a a small portion of the sun's rays still strike the moon. At 1:67 a. m. appears the umbra. This Is the round, solid black sha dow of the earth. It slides across the moon taking an hour and 31 minutes to completely cover the satellite. Tor weatern portions of the United States the reverse of umbra and penumbra will be vlalble. The moon leaves the umbra at 6:91 a. m. and the pneumbra at 6:48 a. m-, Eastern Standard time. During total eclipse, the moon Is sometimes still visible aa a fslnt. copper-colored ball. This oolor Is the red halo of light whloh the sun makes around the earth at the line between daylight and darkness. To a person on the moon, this halo would be seen completely surround ing the earth. It Is due to the same filtering of light by the earth's at mosphere which causes the red col ors of sunset and sunrise. LOCAL GIRL WINS SOUTHEHH OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL. Ashland, May . (Spl.)

Mo., May 6. tP) Cookstoves and sewing machines Instead of arms and bars are kecplne the gunman's moll, the narcotic ad dict and other feminine lawbreakers Inside one of the most unusual pris ons In the world. It la the federal Industrial institu tion for women at Alderson. W. V. Its warden, motherly Dr. Mary Harris, described It here today at a confer ence of officials of the nation's 12 federal prisons and reformatorlea. "Few of the women know how to cook when they come to the Institu tion," she said. "Still fewer know how to sew. But most of them really enjoy those and other things asso ciated with home making, once they learn." Dr. Harris' 600 women Inmates are housed In neat cottage type buildings which look like a girls' college, and would be easy to escape from. But guards, arms, steel gates, marching prison feet all are missing. Nearly 60 percent of the Inmates are narcotic act violators. Another 20 percent have broken liquor laws. Many are released Into squalid sur roundings. Yet, Dr. Harris said, their training In domestic or Industrial arts is so effective that few become re peaters. Only 31 of the 861 paroled in 11 years have violated their pro bation. "The average woman." said Dr. Harris, "goes bsck Inlto the world I able to earn a living and make a j home for herself."
