OUR SECRET WEAPON
An advertisement of an oil com-
pany make a unique comparison
between the price of gasoline and
price of other commodities, pound
for pound. Consumers in Los An-
geles, for example, pay 3 cents for
flour,jait least 6 cents for potatoes,
6 1-2 cents for sugar, 8 cents for
btread, 30 cents per pound and up
for meat; a $45 suits costs about
$11 a pound, a $6„pair of shoes a-
bout $3 a pound. Regular gasoline,
exclusive of tax, by contrast, costs
2 to 2 1-2 cents per pound, depen-
ding upon yhere you live.

other commodity and service pro-
duced in tlhis country. Our planes

SYNOPSIS
Cathy Allen, (Martha Scott) a
oeautiful young school teacher,
having written what is considered
for 1906, a daring and, shocking
novel, is obliged to leave the small
town where she has been teaching.
She doesn’t feel in the least like a
repentant sinner, despite the snubs
of the “old hens” who forced her
resignation. The book was bom out
of boredom and otit of Cathy’s
dream of adventure and excitement.
And now, suddenly, with the book’s
publication she has i?i her hands
the key to her release. Her one-way
ticket to Kansas City grasped firm-
ly in her hand Cathy hurries into
the station to fact9 the “old hens”
>or the last time—they have come
to see her actually get, on the train
end leave. On the train Cathy, an
■unworldly girl in spite of her book,

Gardner, (Albert Dekker) husky
self-assured oil-operator traveling
in his private car back to Sepulpa,
which he has transformed into a
boom town, pouring wealth and
power into his pockets. Jim falls
for Cathy and, after hearing her
etcry, says “Why don’t you forget
about Kansas City and stop off at
n 'j town, Sapulpa?”

SIMPLIFY GAS RATIONING
All “B” and “C” gasoline
coupons issued after December 1
will be worth five gallons each,
compared with the present value
of two gallons for coupons of
those 'types in the east and mid-
west and three gallons in the far
(west. This 'means “B” and “C”
books will contain fewer coupons
than in the past, but each coupon
will be good for more gallons than
before. No increase in the amount
of gasoline allowed is involved.
FARMERS TO GET
BATTERIES
Approximately 20 per cent of
the fourth quarter production of
flashlight batteries will be distri-
buted to farmers, according to
WPB. This makes enough batter-
ies for about normal rural con-
sumption available through farm
outlets.
RETURN RATION BOOKS
MAY BE DROPPED IN MAIL
Finders of lost ration books
may drop them in the mail without
prepaying postage or enclosing
them in envelopes, according to O-
PA. On payment of a five-eent pos-
tage-due charge, the Post Office
Department will return the lost
book to the person whose name
and address appear on the cover.
When the addressee cannot be
found, the post office will forward
the book to the nearest rationing
board.
To assist farmers in sending
OPA the ration points they collect
from the sale of rationed foods,
local rationing boards are mailing
fanners the necessary reporting
form, addressed envelopes, and
instructions. Farmers who either
sell or transfer retioned foods,
such as fresh or smoked meat, all
types of sausages, lard, butter and
cheese, are required to collect ra-
tion points from purchasers. The

sential for the success of the food ^ as woman-of-the-world with Jim

Oi tside, they heard the conduc-
tor yelling,. “Hey you, get off
there!” They both went to the plat-
form, where the Cherokee servant
already was standing guard. Cathy
saw the cause of the disturbance
before Jim did. He was weather-
oeaten and dusty, wearing soldier
oants of the Spanish-American
var, topped by a cowboy shirt and
* gallon hat.
Under the dust, you could see a
young, deeply sunburned face. All
the baggage he carried was a sad-
dle. He grinned apologetically at
Cathy. “Excuse me. Guess I should’a
knocked. Sorry if I scared you,
dim and the conductor and the
Cherokee were all advancing on

is this, a holdup? Say, you can’t
dag the express.”
The man wasn’t the least bit
tazed. “Seems I did, though.” He
turned to Cathy. “My horse died
under me. I figured I carried this
iaddle long enough. Where are you
going?”
She told him, without thinking.
Then, “What business is it of
yours?”
Instead of answering, he pulled
out, a roll of bills. “Ticket' to Kan-
sas City,” he tcild'.the conductor.
“Guess that’s good enough for me.”
They were going to send him on
to the coach, but Cathy remem-
bered suddenly the exact stage of
her acquaintance with Jim. She re-
membered also the old bit of wis-
dom about three persons being a
crowd—and therefore safe. She
said quickly, “I’m sure Mr. Gard-
ner would be delighted to have a
ruest—wouldn’t you, Mr. Gard-
er?”
And there wasn’t much Jim
could do about it.
It’s easy to be brave and modem

other, are acting like chaperons.

Gardner as she liked. She could be
sophisticated, brilliant and a tiny
bit risque in her repartee. With the
cowboy there, Jim would not try to
rake her into his arms again.
Meanwhile, the cowboy was mak

Dekker) wealthy oil operator and Dan Somers (John Wayne)

ing himself at home. He did not
seem too interested in the conver-
sation, and retired behind the copy
of Cathy’s book. Pretty soon a wide
humorous smile brought animation
to the bony poker face. Every so
often he’d chuckle. And finally,
‘This is the doggonest funniest
thing I ever read.”
Jim’s face was imperturbable,
but Cathy flinched. The cowboy
went on, “You just listen to this!”
He read, “They kissed, and the
sun, moon and stars reeled around
them.” He shook his head, “Quite
a conflagration.”
Cathy turned to Jim. “You were
telling me about your oil wells, Mr.
Gardner.”
Another hundred miles. Jim said,
‘To find oil, you have to take
chances—play your hunches with
everything you have. It’s all or
nothing. And a wildcat is tricky.
She knows a dozen ways to throw
a man off her trail, if she wants
to.”
Both the cowboy and Cathy were
listening. She said, “You make oil
wells sound so personal—and fem-
inine.”
“Well,” Jim explained, “they re-
act about the same. A wildcatter
leaves the beaten track and travels
across half a continent looking for
new fields. When he thinks he’s
found what he’s looking for, he
stakes out his claim and goes to
work to bring that sleeping wild-
cat out of the ground. Well, Kitten,
how about you stopping over in
Sapulpa?”
The cowboy, looking up suddenly
from the book, said in his lazy,
drawling voice, “You know, just
before my horse died I was argu-
ing with him—should we go as far
as Kansas City or do some cow-
punching in Oklahoma.”
Just then, the train slowed down.
The conductor yelled outside, “Sa-
pulpa Junction!” And Jim said,
“They’ll be switching my car off
here. Well, Kitten, here’s the cross-
roads.”
She did not answer him then—
she couldn’t. She just sat there, as
the train came to a stop. The cross-
roads, she thought. One way lies
dull security, the other—
And Jim did not urge her. Jim
just tipped his hat. “If you’re stay-
ing on the train, you’ll have to go
back to the coach. Well, Kitten,
here’s where I get off.”
She was left alone in the palatial
car, alone with the cowboy, who
made no move to leave either. He
just said for no special reason, “I
forgot to introduce myself. Name’s
Dan Somers. And if we’re going to
Kansas City we’ve got to hurry.
But if we’re staying—”

“We?”
He told her cryptically, “My
granny always said you’d have sor-
rel hair. Now I’ve caught up with
you I aim to—”
The car jerked just a little. They
both knew what it meant. It was
being uncoupled. Cathy made no
move to leave. She still sat there,
pulling on her tight little gloves.
Fate, she thought. I’m going to
let fate decide. After awhile she
put on her best surprised manner.
“Our train!” she cried. “It’s leav-
ing!”
“Course it’s leavin’,” Dan an-
swered quietly. “Which means we
are both staying in Sapulpa. Hm.
Might be fun.” He added, as if in
answer to her thoughts. “It’s like
my granny says, no use pushing
fate.”
Things happened fast after that.
When they did get off, there was
half the population of Sapulpa ad-
miring Jim Gardner— Jim, magni-
ficent in duster and goggles in the
seat of a brand-new “gas buggy.”
Only the buggy spit and exploded
and would not start. The Cherokee
kid was cranking while people of-
fered advice—“Get a horse, hitch it
on!” In the meantime, the rest of
the passengers from the train were
getting into the ordinary horse-
drawn vehicles from various hotels,
which stood waiting.
Dan wanted to take Cathy to-
ward the one marked Palace Hotel,
because the driver, an old weather-
ed cowboy named Desprit, seemed
to be an old friend from the army.
But Cathy hung back, until Jim
saw her. She had no way of telling
whether Jim was really surprised,
but the first thing she knew, she
was wearing the- -duster- and the
goggles and was about to get her
first ride in an automobile.
Then-a rider galloped up. “Mr.
Gardner!” he yelled. “The Lucky
Star is coming in!” And Jim for-
got all about being the man of the
world showing a lady his town. Jim
jumped out of his car, pulling
Cathy after him. “Come on, I
haven’t time to fool with this
thing!” He hurried over to the Pal-
ace Hotel coach, stuck his head in.
“Sorry folks, but you’ll have to
walk. I need this rig.” Because he
was Gardner the millionaire, they
all obeyed him. And then there was
Cathy seated in the coach beside
Jim, riding hell bent for leather
for a new oil well somewhere in
the fields. ^
It was a wild, reckless ride, but
worth every discomfort. Because at
the end of it was one of those
sights you never forget! First you
heard the deep rumbling some-
where inside the earth. “A head-
er!” Jim whispered. There was the
open casing head from which gar
roared. Stones flew into the air aa
men ducked. There were blasts of
sand.
Someone yelled as Jim jumped
down from the coach, “Cable’s
jammed, Mr. Gardner!” And‘none
of the men, from the superinten-
dent down, would climb the derrick
to do anything about it. Too dan-
gerous. That was the way you got
blown to kingdom come. But Jlr\
Gardner did not care about danger.
He seemed to love it. His eves*
sparkled with it. “Think I'm g<*injf
to let her blow her brains out down
there in the ground, after l’vn
chunked in a fortune looking for
her? Not on your life!”
And next thing Cathy lo.ew,
there he was, climbing too lao--orr
doing the dangerous job himself.
Afterwards, as the others crowd-
ed around him with congratula-
tions, he answered contemptuously,
“It takes a real oil man to show
you.” He was smeared with oil, like
any workman, and he did not car -.
Decidedly, Jim Gardner was no or-
dinary millionaire, who’d got rica
by climbing roughshod on the backs
of others. Jim Gardner was a mat
who knew how to work.
Back in town, Jim took Cath ? to
the Palace Hotel. Its owner, Bessie
Baxter, was a woman out of a
book. Old enough to know better,
and young enough not to do it,
was the way Jim described her.
Her eyes, beautiful but fading, had
obviously seen a lot. Her yellow
hair was not strictly according to
nature. And her manner was not
strictly that of a lady. But there
was a forthrightness about her
that Cathy couldn’t help liking.
Bessie started out by bawling
Jim Gardner out for pushing her
guests out of their carriage. But
Jim’s answer—his story of the
Lucky Star gusher—pacified her.
Her eyes began to shine in re-
sponse to his telling. She even said,
“All right, Mr. Gardner. I’ll prove
I’ve forgiven you. I’ll give this
young lady our best room.”
Cathy thought, all this can’t be
happening to me. I’ll wake up to-
morrow morning and I’ll be in my
room in Clayburn, wondering about,
a new job. But it was happening.
There was Jim’s invitation to din-
ner at Sapulpa’s only elegant night-
spot. There was Bessie’s big-sister-
ly interest in her. Bessie, going up-
to her room with her, made her-
self comfortable for a real chat.
“Jim Gardner told me you’re the
author of a book, and that’s good,
for my hotel—I like celebrities.
But that isn’t the only reason I like
you. You—you’re pretty and fresh
and going places. And something
tells me in this town you’re going
to need a friend.”
“I’d like a friend. But why?”
Bessie’s eyes were very wise.
“You're really stuck on that big
guy, aren’t you?”
Cathy hesitated. “He’s like Alad-
din,” she answered softly. “He rubs
the magic lamp — and the whole
world changes.”
Bessie said, “And you’re shootin5
for orange blossoms with Aladdin?
That’s playin’ for high stakes. But
you got the right idea. Anything I
can do to help. . .
