GOOD ROADS STUDIED
BY STATE GEOLOG|S1

Considerable agitation is now being
advanced in the press in relation TO
good roads in Oklahoma. The state
geological survey has been for some
time past working on this problem.
Last year, through the efforts Of the
survey officials, the services Of James
II Voshell of the government ofIice of
public roads were secured in making
a brief investigation of the highways
and loac materials in the state. l..
& Sn'der, assistant dirertor OF the
Oklahoma geological survey accom-
panied Mr. Voshell in this worl'. Sine
that time the former has made a more
deta!'ed study along such lines of
every pant of the state. The result of
this research, Bulletin No. $ is now
u epared for the press and wi. e
ready for the public in a few months.
This report deals extensively with the
formation and maintenance of dller-
ent kinds of roadbedS. In addition it
discusses the best materials for the
construction of highways in various
localities One chapter of the book
will be devoted to reviaw of the
counties of Oklahoma in respect to
their thoroughfares, their present con-
dition and future possibilities. Rock
samples suitable for macadam have
been collected and tested from various
ledges of stone throughout the state;
the result of these tests will appear
In the report
For the western half Of Oklahoma
Mr.. Snider advances tn idea Of sand
clay roads, that is, a mixture Of both
sand and clay in such proportions that
an ordinary sand bed will remain moist
in dry weather or the original clay
bottom will stay passingly dIy in W ct
weather. This idea has been tried in
some of the southern states and is
found extremely practicab;a. both IN
cheapness and durability. 1t has also
been tried with success in this state.

WILL CONDEMN PRODUCTS OF
WICHITA VINEGAR COMPANY

The attention of the retail grocery
trade in Oklahoma is called to the
attitude of the Wichita Vinegar Works
of Wichita, Kans., toward the Okla
homa pure food laws. This firm has
sold throughout Oklahoma line of
products, which are barred. by reason
of the admission of the manufacturer
that said products contain more than
Ito of | per cent of bencoate of soda,
used as a preservative. Recently the
attention of the department was called
to the various shipments made by this
firm into the state, wherein the orig
inal labels indicating the amount of
preservatives had been changed from
Ito of l per cent to 2-10 of per cent
of benzoate of soda, the alterations
being made with pen and ink. A
United States food inspector, detect
ing this alteration, kindly notified the
state department of the practice be-
ing employed by this firm. Every rea-
sonable effort has been extended TO
secure the withdrawal of this illegal
stock from Oklahoma without firan-
eial loss to the grecers. The Wichita
Vinegar Works, thus far, violated all
promises made to the department rel
ative to this class of goods, and there
fore it will be necessary for inspec-
tors to condemn all products of this
firm found to be in violation of Okla
homa laws.-State Board OF Health

CAR RIOTS FOLLOW ACTION
Of STREET CAR COMPANY

President Zeigler of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor said last night that
the resolutions adopted by the mass
meeting stood for no violence and that
all speakers cautioned the men to be
quiet and orderly.
"We told the men that we thought
we had legal method to accomplish
our ends" said Zeigier, "and l am in a
position TO say that anything done was
the result of individual efforts, and
not our union. The company, in vio-
lation of its agreement, discharged
twenty-four union men on Friday. 1t
is a lockout We have not voted to
strike, neither has the matter been be-
fore the union"
President Shartel of the street car
company in a recent statement said
the men had voted secretly last We'd
nesday night to strike, and that all
negotiations then came to an end.
During the winter the carmen de-
elared strike upon the Oklahoma
company which caused the
system to lay dead for a week, the
question being whether the union
should be recognized. In the adjust
ment the men claim to have won their
point, which they assert, was violated
by the discharge of the twenty-four
men last week.

PLANS ORGANIZATION OF
PATROLS IN MANY CITIES

Spokane, Wash, May S.-Plans have
been completed by Rev. David w.
Ferry pastor of Emanuel Presbyterian
church of Spokane, founder of the
Girl Guides of America, to organize
patrols in several thousand cities,
towns and hamlets of the United States
and Canada within the next six months.
The chief aim of the movement is to
supplement in material way the
training of girls, between the ages of
IL and Is years, for their particular
sphere in life by intoxicating womanly
traits and refinement, with devotion
to home and love of neatness and or
der and to fit them for emergencies.
BE prepared" is the motto of the
organization, the emblem being an up
lifted torch signifying that the guides
action will always be above reproach
and will endeavor to be a guide to
those in distress and light the pathway
of others to all that is good and noble.
The manual, now in press, prepared
by Mr.. Ferry for free distribution to
those interested in the movement,
says:
BE prepared in mind by having
disciplined yourself to be obedient to
every order, and also by having
thought out beforehand any accident
or situation that might occur, so that
you know the right thing to do at the
right moment and be willing to do it.
Be prepared in body by making your
self strong and active and able to do
the right thing at the right time and
do it."
The following excerpts from the
Guide laws explai nthe purposes of
the organization:
"A guides first duy is to her home
She will gladly forgo pleasure of any
kind for the sake of that duty.
"A guide will endeavor to do a good
turn to someone every day In addi-
ton to being helpful in her own home,
she will visit the sick and help the
poor and be ready to assist others at
all times.
"A guide will be honorable and |
and woman-like in speech |
and behavior.
"A guide will be simple and modest |
in dress, never wearing anything ex-
travagant or extreme in fashion or
material.
"A guide will be respectful and obed- |
lent to her parents and teachers and |
officers.
"A guide will be on the lookout for
girls who are strangers, lonely, home |
sick or unhappy, and be ready to help |
hem.
"A guide must take at least half |
hours exercise every day, unless ey
,used by the advice of a physician.
She will sleep and work in the open
lir as much as possible.
"a guide will be cheerful at all
ines and under all circumstances and
'ndeavor to carry cheer and sunshine
she goes"
The plan of organization is similar
o that of the Boy Scouts. A patrol is
of from six to eight girls,
he officers being a leader of at least
5 years of age, and an assistant. Two
,atrols form a company or troop under
he leadership of a captain, who must
,e more than 81 years of age and hold

the arrangement of the armistice, tt
begin an attack. About a hundred
rebels moved forward in readiness fol
the attack. The impression is thaI
General Madero's orders had been did
regarded and an engagement is i'm
minent.
Luis Hernandez was shot in the LEI
while standing on the American band
of the river. Federal bullets hit thess
men, but the immigration station wal
struck by rebel bullets. At 1873 Il
looked of if the firing was about Cd
cease. Madero, riding out in front
had just said he was agreeable to the
armistice, when the insurrectos chas
ed some federals out of the block
toward Juarez and sent to camp fol
reinforcements.
The American troops have lined un
on the river bank, keeping all people
on this side back as far as possible.

El Paso, Tex, May S.-By a tele-

that General Navarro would send out
an officer with a white flag and that
General Madero would do likewise, to
arrange for immediate armistice. They

Mexico City, May 8.-While unoffi-
cial there is still hope here of a re-
newal of the peace negotiations. The
official view is that the exchange be-
tween representative of Diaz and
Francisco |. Madero Jr., the rebel chief
is closed incident. Francisco Car
bajal, the government commissioner
at Juarez, has been ordered to return
to the capital. If there are overtures
for a new conference, it must come
rom the other side. The posting of
on the street corners late
asst night, setting forth that Diaz
would resign at date he deemed
auspicious created much excitement.

An apprentice is required to pass
these tests before becoming a second

with a band of company colors. Each |
patrol is named after a favorite flower,
for example: White Roses, in which |
event the patrol color is white and |
green. The flower design is worn as
crest on the left breast of the blouse.
I'VE hear great deal of talk in |
these days about womans rights, af |
