AUTOMOBILES, 250
Traffic officer Hollingsworth esti-
mates there are 250 automobiles in
Norman, which is doing quite well for
a little city of 5,0p0 population—
about one machine to every twenty
people. He also says that owners of
automobiles are required to register
their machines with the city clerk
and liable to a fine if they do not
do so. It costs nothing to register,

WANTED A MACHINE
This afternoon two boys, 6 to 7
years old, called at the Cottage Home
and wanted premiums on bread
tickets. Mrs. Seawell asked the boys
what they wanted with to do with
them. They said they wanted to get
an automobile.
BOOZE CAPTURED; FORDS CON-
FISCATED.
Sheriff Pickard and Deputy Sheriff
Rose took in two sets of bootleggers
yesterday, capturing a considerable
amount of booze in the shape of al-
chol and beer. They also confiscated
the Ford cars in which the liquors
were being transported across the
country, and will endeavor to hold
them as property of the State of Okla-
homa, to be sold and the proceeds
turned into the school fund.
Kemp Parnell, D. W. Swafford and
Bud Burnett, all of Lexington, were
in charge of the Ford containing the
alcohol, and are in jail. W. C. Al-
breicht and Garbin Burch, of Pauls
Valley, were the men arrested with
the beer, which they had received at
the "Santa Fe depot in Noble and were
getting ready to take to their town.
The officers say they had several
bottles in a bucket surrounded by ice
which they calculated to drink on their
way home.
Wasn't that a shame!

a barn on his farm east of town. The

— 3.50 then spent its forces on the plains of
— 3.50 northern Mexico. This was the sum-
— 1.50 mary of the meteorological situation
given out today by Dr. J. L. Cline,
head of the local weather bureau from
information available.
"There has been considerable dam-
age on the coast where thousands of
acres of land are probably overflow-
ed," said Dr. Cline. "The worst dam-
age is probably in the immediate vi-
cinity of Corpus Christi. If, however,
residents of that section needed the
weather bureau warning for the past
few days I do not believe there was
any loss of life."

Washington remains about the same.

the predictions of the Federal weather
bureau at Oklahoma City today, with
a state forecast of "Tonight and Sun-

It is mighty sultry today, albeit
there is a good breeze from the south,
probably caused by the gulf storm.
