Hi-jackers are acquiring the
habit of not speaking to mere law-
abiding citizens, it appears.
Tuesday night about 10 o'clock,
this happened to a certain Okla-
homa City woman, according to
the police report. She was leav-
ing a place of amusement with
her two daughters, when two
suspicious characters, wearing no
vests, and carrying guns, stepped
from the shadows of the building.
They stared at her an instant,
but did not speak, she told offi-
cers. Indignant because the men
"cut" her- absolutely ignored her
presence after the first .fishy
stare—she called the polite.
The officers searched the vicin-
ity. but failed to find the aristo-
cratic hi-Jackers. who were de-
scribed by the iady as "suspicious
characters, without Tests, and
carrying 45-calibre guns."

LOOKING TO
THE FUTURE
The city planning commission,
after numerous meetings at
weekly luncheons, has decided to
limit sky-scrapers in Oklahoma

By holding the city's sky-line
within "reasonable limits" it is
expected to avoid the dumping of
thousands of office employes on
the sidewalks at quitting hours,
and conjestlnj; traffic as is the
case in New York.
