Basis Of Floats entries will be judged on the basis of (D staying with the theme of the celebration, which this year is "Peace." costumes, ideas, and members of the board of governors. Visiting speaker for the section was Walter L. Summers of the University of Illinois, author of standard works on oil and gas law.

He attributed much of present-day confusion over oil and gas rights, particularly with reference to drainage, to early misconception of physical conditions by courts. "The early efforts of the courts to determine the nature of interest in oil and gas on a basis of analogies to other physical subject matter when they were woefully ignorant of the physical facts and did not apprehend the future economic importance of these substances are well known to all oil and gas lawyers," he said.

L. McMillian of San Antonio, Summers thought bore put a statement that the court decisions hold that the right of capture must be exercised so as not to injure the source of supply and in a way not to take an undue share. He said he had obtained a copy of the opinion only after his convention paper had been prepared. E. J.

Fountain, Houson, reporting on decisions and statutes affecting the industry since the last convention, construed the Kowan Nichols case as a declaration that all important factors must be considered in proration. Summers pointed out that decisions upholding gas proration were in cases in which waste prevention was involved also. C. D. Bird Is Named As Bank President MATADOR.
