Oil brokers, May 26, 1919. Wichita Falls Texas.
In Wichita Falls, oil brokers conducted their business on the busy curb side.
Treaty news still dominated, but other events were creeping in, including disaster and adventure.
As well as misbehavior and lust. A Lusk businessman had departed that town with an 18 year old girl, still in school, and abandoned his wife and six children. The shamed couple had relocated to Venice California, where they'd opened a "root beer concession".
The youthful participant in the illicit tryst admitted she had "loved unwisely". She was now with child.
Hotel headquarters of the American Red Cross in Berlin.
The Red Cross was extending a helping hand in Germany, now that the war was over. And Germany certainly needed one.
