...bushy hair blowing, his small white teeth gleaming, his sturdy black legs and large black feet entirely bare beneath the dark-blue serge skirt, of tivi tivi, which distinguished his otherwise orthodox business attire, Chief Ragoso was in the U. S. partly as observer, partly as exhibit. at the 43rd general conference of Seventh-Day Adventists from all over the world. As observer, Kata Ragoso was chiefly struck by painted white women.

...whole case hinged - was found to be missing from the original text signed by the President. New oil legislation will probably be presented to the next Congress but oil men are now looking for relief in other directions. Just before the end of the fourth extra session of the 43rd Texas Legislature, a bill was passed giving the Railroad Commission jurisdiction over refined oil as well as crude.
