OIL LEASE FIRM
WITHOUT PERI
WARNS HAZLETT
The State Oil & Gas company has
no permit from the corporation de
partment to sell oil leases nor does
It have a real estate license, it was
stated in a letter received by the
Mall Tribune today from J. H. Has
lett, corporation commissioner.
The corporation department has
received Information that represen
tatlvea of the State Oil & Oaa com
pany are attempting to sell oil leases
la Jackson county, Mr. Haslett wrote.
"The company and O. W. Clark.
Its president, were Indicted bjr the
grand Jury of Lane county and con
victed of the crime of selling and
offering for sale securities without
a permit." Mr. Hazlett said In his
letter. "The securities were oil
leases."
Mr. Hazlett quoted from the Ore
gon Voter of April 23 as follows:
"When hearing In receivership pro
ceedings against State Oil & Gas
company was held , the testimony
Indicated that out of $30,000 taken
In on oil leases only approximately
$2,800 actually had been turned over
to the so-called drilling company
Tn short, less than 10 percent of
payments made by lease buyers had
been transferred to Great Western
Oil company, designated as the drill
ing organisation.
"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.
The set-up of the Seattle lease
selling company and attendant group
of affiliate companies wes almost
Identical with that of the Oregon
group."

St minutes th night ot May 14
ths moon will b. totally scllpssd

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

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

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.

Instead of arms and bars are kecplne
the gunman's moll, the narcotic ad

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."
