SINGLE STATEHOOD ON TOP
Advantage Taken of the Parliamentary
PoinJs IN the Adjournment

Oklahoma City. o. T, Jan. S.-CSpe-
cial)-Late tonight the champions Of
single statehood held a caucus and de-
cided that the ad journmcnt of the state
hood convention this evening was ille-
sal and parliamentary. Their par
liamsntary advisers told them that a
convention presided over by j tempo
rary organization could not adjourn
sine die. particularly while one of rs
Committees was out There was only
one committee appointed by the cOnven-
ton and that was On credentials The
convention was adjourned before this
committee had time 20 report.
On the strength Of this advice the sin
gle statehood delegates VIII assemble

iZe as a convention, and then hear the
report of the credentials committee
They VIII then pass a resolution favor
ing single statehood As many of the
opposition delegates have gone home
ignorant of the plans Of the single
statehood men, the latter can recOnvene
the convention and do what they please,
with practically no opposition.

show distinctly the influence of the flower
festival In Paris more than a month ago.

OF course, quite the authority of a transat-

the fashion of the white outing gown,

yellow had many examples, and now have

The use of thin liners, canvas, foulards,
muslns and the like over the rosy glow or
the pale green sheen of lining silk is a
mode which will last the entire season, as
1t deserves.

To reach the height of perfection there

individual genius. Thus it is necessary for
The development of science that science
should cease to be the speculation of a few
and become the minister of the many; from
the constant pressure of unsatisfied wants
science receives its energetic stimulus and
its highest reward. In art the same law
holds. In Athens the whole nation cooper
ated with the artists, and this is one cause
why Athenian art rose into unsurpassed
splendor. Art was not the occupation of d
few, ministering to the luxury of a few. 1t
was the luxury Of all. Its triumphs were
not hidden in galleries and museums; they
hlazed in the monday sun, they were ad-
mired and criticised by the whole people
and, as Aristotle expressly says every free
citizen was from youth upward a critic of
art. Sophocfes wrote for all Athens, and
by all Athens was applauded. The theater
was open to all free citizens. Phidias and

PLANNING A PICNIC.
AppctizinE Things to Eat and Ways
of Amusing the Children.

APpStA1IhSs 1hIuSS 10 uhO way
of Amusing the Children.
From the American Kitchen Magazine.
Unfortunately in many households pic
mic Is such rare occurrence that no one
member OF the family knows how to plan
for it, and the result is more tiresome than
hard days work.
When packing the lunch basket it is wise
to remember that when the thermometer
touches the nneties foods should be main
ly water. The solder portions of our diet
should not contain an excess of fat, for
that would only add to our discomfort in
warm weather. Plenty Of bread spread
thiniy with butter or just enough chopped
meat for a relish should be the principal
part of the contents of the lunch basket.
Lettuce and cucumbers are appetiZing adj
diticnS to sandwiches. Cheese chopped OF
melted and mixed with a little cream and
seasoning is an excellent filling for either
bread or cracker sandwiches. OF cakes
! the average picnic basket has a too gener-
Gus provision; cookies of some sort must
be provided for the children but there need
be little else. Ripe fruit is more wholesome
and more easily provided than all the host
OF sweets Which so often make the prepa-
ration q burden.
The little children will be amused for a
while at least by picking the big heads of
red clover in the pastures for auntie or
mamma to make a pillow of after they
ei c AiStiS Just HON tuey are put III
big lag brought for this purpose and
when taken home are sprinkled lightly
with salt and allowed to dry thoroughly.
The older boys will rest without being un-
easy for short time pulling twigs of fir to
be mixed with the clover. by and by, or to
make pillow by itself.
When this employment becomes tiresome
it will make a pleasant variety to follow
the Old fashion and let all the children who
can speak pieces This is the time for
the patriotic verses. old, but ever new
when repeated at the right time with the
right spirit.
On one occasion the house mother pre-
pared blueberry roly-roly pudding at
home and brought it in its bag to the pic
mic ground, where the father soon had a
fire started and the kettle boiling merrily.
The hot pudding served with cream was a
much more satisfactory supper than elab-
orate dainties could have been.

FROM the London Spectator
1t must be fully recognized that The Ma

bee ause they are whites, put them almost
out Of the pale Of mercy, and that the alb.
sence among them of any leader who can
answer for their conduct makes general ar
rangements for peace exceedingly difficult.
AT the same time we regret, if only on
grounds of policy, to see the temper OF the
WI lite settlers hardening, to notice a GER
tain readiness to execute as well as to slay
in lighting, and to read expressions as TO
the number killed. We do not want dead
bodies in Rhodesia, but quiet subjects who
will work for wages and ultimately become
taxpayers. Lenity is good policy in Africa
as well as Asia. but ii is very seldom that
II is displayed on the former continent.
Something in the climate of the surround

Engiishmen abnormally hard.
