10,000 WELLS
IN ETEX OIL
FIELD CLOSED
AUSTIN. April 6——The ap
proximately 10.000 wells in the East
u>exas oil field were closed today
as a result of an order by the Tex
as railroad commission.
The commission ordered yester
day that the wells be closed for a
five-day period starting at 7 o’clock
tills morning. The commission said
it would not permit any further
production until the morning of
April 11.
To Take Tests
The order was issued shortly af
ter the conclusion of a hearing at
which oil men had stated that a
shutdown should be invoked before
the taking of potential tests, in
event the commission should decide
that the East Texas field should
be prorated on a well potential ba
sis.
Witnesses at the hearing said
that a shutdown was necessary to
equalize pressure. They suggesetd
that the field be closed down for
five days and that potentials be
taken over a period of the same
length.
Members of the commission did
not state immediately whether
they would take well potential
tests. Their attorneys said that an
injunction Issued by Federal Judge
Randolph Bryant of Sherman
would have to be modified before
such test could be taken. Judge
Bryant had issued an order pre
venting the commission from re
quiring that all wells in the field
be opened wide at the same time.
Neal Powers, assistant attorney
general, said that if the commis
sion should decide that it should
make open flow tests, it would ask
Judge Bryant to modify his injunc
tion. Witnesses at the hearing as
serted that tests distributed ovqr
several days would be fair to opera
tors in the field.
Third Time Ordered
This was the third time that the
East Texas field had been ordered
closed. Some eight months after
the opening of the field, former
governor R. S. Sterling ordered the
wells shut in until the railroad
commission could promulgate or
der1: based on a new statute. The
fielA was shut down last December
while the commission undertook to
obtain bottom hole pressure.
Before the conclusion of yester
days hearing. R. E. Hardwicke of
Port Worth, attorney for the Texas
Oil and Gas Conservation associ
ation asked the commission not to
write a new East Texas proration
order based solely on well poten
tials. He expressed fear that such
an order would be stricken down
by the courts. He said that the
acreage factor should be included
in any new proration plan.

MARCH WARM
AND DRY MONTH
When March ended and only 40
of an inch of ram had fallen
during the entire 31 days, the
accumulated deficiency in moisture
for the year was 2.51 inches, ac
cording to the summary issued by
Meteorologist W. J. Sehnurbusch
Normal for the month is 1.26
inches so that there was a defic
lciency of .86 cl an inch during
the past month alone as growers
looked at the skies in holies of
ra.n for growing crops so that they
would not need to irrigate.
It was the driest March since
1929 when only .26 of an inch fell.
March can be drier, however, the
records show with not enough to
show in the measuring devices dur
ing the m^nth of March in 1901
and 1902. Never lias the month
been very extreme in the otner
direction. It jupiter pluved to the
extent ot 3 61 inches in March.
1889, a record since records were
started away back in 1871.
In addition to the abnormality
in regard to moisture, the month
was slightly hotter than usual with
a mean for March ai, 70 degrees as
compared with a normal of 68 2.
The warmest March in 55 years
was in 1921 when the temperature
averajed 74 3 degrees and the
coolest March of last year with an
average of 62.8 Successive Marches
set new low average records dur
ing recent ye; is. The average of
64.5 in 1930 was a new low average
but this dropped to a new low
average of 63.7 in 1931 and 62.8 in
1932. The absolute maximum ever
reached on any March day was
102 in 1928 and the lowest 30 in
1917.
The wind movement totalled
9.685 miles with southeast as the
prevailing direction and the aver
age hourly velocity 13. The max
imum velocity ifor five minutes)
was 35 m p h. from the southeast I
March 13. Maximum wind velocity
on record for this month: 38 m
p.h. in 1932.

be willing to share a substantial
part of his $30 a month pay with
dependent relatives. There will be
, no public registration of Jobless
' seeking work until after this first
! class has been taken care of.
The second selection of men will
i be begun before the end of the
I week. From 25,000 to 50.000 men
will be taken at frequent intervals
with Pres. Roosevelt hopeful of
having 250.000 on duty by July 1.
Forests in the south and east will

Representatives of state govern
ments were called to meet with
Sec. Wallace today to outline any
additional projects that might be
undertaken in state and private
woodlands to increase the number
of employed. These discussions
centered around forest fire protec
tion work.
II. £ FIRST TO
DRAW RACIAL
UNEV R
BERLIN. April 6. — ^(—Chan
cellor Adolph Hitler pointed to the
United States exclusion act against
the yellow race as a precedent in
explaining today his purpose in re
moving Jewish intellectuals from
medical, legal, artistic and scien
tific positions in Germany.
“The American people were the
first to draw the practical politi
cal consequences from the inequal
ity in the difference of races,” he
said. “Through immigration laws
it barred undesirables from other
races. Nor is America ready now to
open Its doors to Jews (fleeing)
from Germany.”
To this reference to emigrating 1
Jew's. Hitler added the usual Nazi
assertion that no physical harm
whatever was done them.
He also expressed the opinion
that the United States, which be
fore other modern oouiftries be
came an exponent of a strong
movement against foreign elements,
has the least occasion to attempt
to counteract Germany’s efforts to
purge herself of foreign elements.
Hitler's remarks were occasioned j
by his visit to the new Jew-free j
executive board of the German j
medical federation

REV. HOWARD
ATTACKS SIN
- !
I
Rev. Howard will speak tonight
at the Central Christian church
on "The City that Bade Jesus
Depart.” The largest audience yet
assembled heard the sermon last
night on "The Wages of Sin.”
"Sin holds a ruthless dominion
over men,” said the speaker, "Crime
is costing this country billions of
dollars annually. Quoting from
Remans 6:16 "His servant ye are
to whom ye obey,” Rev. Howard
told of the inebriate institute in
Knoxville, Iowa, where people from
all walks of life were taken for
cure, furnishing abundant evidence
of the wages of sin. "Since the .
eighteenth amendment the inebri
ate institution has been turned
into an old soldier's home. Sin is
so subtle and deceptive that peo
ple are in its service before they
realize it. They think they are
having a good time, they are en
joying the thrills that only sin can
give, but ere long they awaken to
the fact that they have been de
ceived, for the wages of sin is
spiritual death, eternal death.
"Spiritual death.” said the speak
er, "is a state of utter insensibility
to holiness. Sin brings people to
the place where they can call evil
good, and good evil. They mock
the Bible and the church. God,
Christ, in fact everythmg that is
for the making of righteousness,
and favor the institutions and in
fluences that maxe for corruption
and depravity of soul. Some think
It will all work out alright, but
the tendency of sin is to work in
rather than work out.
“Jesus Christ is the antidote. The
gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Sin brings
spiritual death. Christ came to
bring spiritual resurrection.”
Mrs. Howard sang "Where Is My j
Wandermg Boy Tonight.” illustrat
ed. Tonfght Mrs W. A. Velten will
sing "The Ninety and Nine,” il
lustrated.
-my skin became j
clear”
—wouldn't you like to be able to say
this, too? Then pause a moment and
reason ... tkin affections usually re
sult because of lowered resistance
from below the skin surface. Then
help the blood that purifies the skin,
by increasing its red-cells and re
storing the vital oxygen-carrying
hemoglobin in these cells so that
more vitality comes to the tissues.
This will increase the ability of the
blood to devour Infectious pimple
germs.
That is Just what S S.S. does—
proved by tens of thousands of un
solicited letters of thankfulness.
"Shall I use a good soap?"—cer ;
tainly—“and cosmetics?"—naturally,
but first observe Nature's law and
lay the sound foundation from un
demeath the skin.
S S.S., in addition to being a valu
able general tonic, has the special
property of increasing the red-cellt
and restoring the hemoglobin con
tent of the blood, when deficient.
