That proposed amendment for
the initiative and referendum to the
State Constitution next year is
claiming considerable attention al
ready, especially among the labor
ing element. The country districts
over the State are likely to give it
their endorsement. It is one of
the important features of the Okla
homa Constitution. 1t is one of
w. j. Bryan's doctrines. In Mis-.
souri, it is believed it would place
more power in the hands Of the
people and less in the Legislature.
1t is recalled that in the days when
the lobby was a power with the
Legislature there was talk Of law
makers suddenly acquiring 81 ,0OO
bills and that some Objectionable

The navy department has been ex-
 perimenting quietly with a new tor
 pedo that, if it is the success its de-
 signer claims it to be will solve the
 long discussed problem of utilizing
 gasoline gas as motive power with.
 out exploding 1t in an internal com.
 bustion engine. As most people know
 the economical and effective little
 gasoline engine that has solved the automobile problem and is furnishing
 the power for so many thousand of
 farmers all over the country, works
 by mixing gasoline vapor and air in the cylinder of the engine and then firing 1t by an electric spark. This takes the place of steam in an ordin- ary engine, but there are certain dis advantages in it chiefly that 1t has to be run at a high and constant speed to develop It's full efficiency and that for slower speeds gears have to be introduced. The new torpedo uses gasoline as a motive power. but by a clever combination with water in the jacket of the engine, 1t converts the gasoline vapOr into what Is practical. ly steam and feeds it directly to the cylinder of the engine without the aid either of fire or a spark plug. which as all gasoline engine users know. is one of the most detestabls of human devices. The new torpedo Is a remarkable engine of war if all that Is claimed of it is true. It runs at speed of over 60 miles an hour and Is effective at a range of over two miles It is under perfect eontroI and stands very small chance ot missing the varship at which it k aimed. But the chief interest for ths general public lies in the claim of the makers that the problem of using gasoline vapor direct has been solved If this is SO. 1t means a new reTolu- ton in small power engines for farm use.

THE AGING PERIOL
UNPLEASANT FEW YEARS OF A
 WoMAN's LIFE.
Knowledge That One Really Is Grow Ing Old Always Comes as Some thing of shook-PoIlte-
 ness Overdone.

There comes period in every wom. ans life when the fact is forcibly brought to her notice that she is no longer young. The knowledge comes as a shock and in its train comes a thousand bitter thoughts until she learns to grit her teeth and accept the truth as gracefully as she may.
 Of course every woman is conscious that the years are passing. The sur. reptitious removal of gray hair. the gradual acquiring of the habit of SC. lecting quieter colcSs and giving up certain youthful pastimes-all these things are done quietly and almost un. consciously. so that she rarely appre. ciates the course whither she is tend. ing until rude blow brings it sudden. ly to her mind and she realizes that not only does she herself know her ad. yancing age, but that 1t is becoming apparent to other people as we'll.
 This is indeed blow. It is all very well to say that 40 is the halcyon age of woman-that she is reaching the height of her beauty and intellect. She is. no doubt. But the years after 40 until she reaches the age when young girls get up to give her a seat in the car are those in which she realizes she is aging.
 Young reader, has 1t ever occurred to you that in your polite effort to show respect to your elders you some. times overstep the mark?
 The other day a charming woman entered a crowded street car accom- panied by two girls. evidently friends, and about 16 or IS years old. Their companion was a woman at the height of life.

BIRTH OF THE FLAG.
An Address to the American People
 by Warren Lee Goss.


 5, Friday, the 14th of June, will be the one hundred and thirtieth anni- versary of the birth of the flag of the United States. The flag was design ed for nation of thirteen colonies, stretched like belt along the At lantic coast, made up of less than three millions of people without com mon traditions or language; drawn together only by common danger from savages within and oppression from without, which threatened their ex- istence and liberties. That flag now waves over great nation, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the lakes; from the Atlantic to beyond the Pa- cific sea; and inhabited by nearly ninety millions of people, who speak a common language.
 Our flag Is now-in form-the old est flag of civilized nations. The re- solution by congress for the adoption of the stars and stripes on June l, 1777, was as follows: Resolved that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, represent ing a new constellation" The design of this flag is credited to George Washington, and in part was taken from his family coat of arms. Such is the origin of flag dedicated to the proposition that "all men are created free and equal" Let us honor the natal day or our national fiag-dis- playing it from our public buildings, schools and homes in recognition of this memorable day.
 The men of the grand army of the republic, who preserved the nation in the greatest war of modern times and made vital the declaration of our fathers, call upon all who live under the flag to recognize this day by pa- triotic observances in schools and-on the Sunday proceeding-in churches. To this end we suggest that the day be announced by proclamation. that the press scatter this call-as seeds of pa- triotism-broadcast over the land. Such recognition will nourish the greatness of our nation, inculcate noble citizenship. the principles of civil liberty. and be an object les- son to the new generations that have come upon the stage since the civil war.
