The biennial convention of Oklahoma
Women's clubs held in Tulsa Noyem-
ber ll-l4, proved to be quite the most
successful in the history Of the State
Federation. Not only were there more
delegates in attendance than ever be-
lore, but the character Of the programs
and the expedition with which the af-
fairs of the large gathering were car
ried out indicate that the organization
is fast becoming a tremendous power
for efficiency and uplift in Oklahoma.
The sessions we're held in the beau
tiful new Presbyterian church in Tulsa.
A reception rendered the visitors at
the Elks club, also an auto ride with
tea at the Country club. We're among
the interesting social features Of the
convention. Humanitarianism and al
trulsm seemed TO be the keynotes of
the gathering. Interesting discussions
OF the playground movement, social
centers, dress reform, farm women's
bureau. civic Improvement, domestic
science, eugenics, temperance and uni
versal peace engrossed the attention
OF the delegates.
Chickasha's clubs we're represented
as follows: MacDowell, Mesdames J.
c. Terrell and Kendall Galloway; Sans
Souci, Miss Olive McClintic; Sorosis,
Mesdames B. p. Smith and. R. A. Day-

GRAFT WORKED BY CASHIERS
New Yorkerc Said to BE victimIzed
Out Of Large Sums Annually
in That Way.

"One form of honest graft a hotel
keeper has to fight the hardest in the
town is accidental short changing, I"
says the manager OF a very popular
hotel in New York city, famous for its
oyster bar. The same sort of honest
graft obtains at almost every cash
changing place in the city where there
is a netting on the cashiers desk to
protect the cash. and lower bar of
wood to hold up the netting or glass
screen. This bar Of wood or metal runs
across the hand-hole for change. The
cashiers have figured out the angle of
vision Of all men, short and tall. and
the distance they stand from the desk
to receive their change. Say a dollar
is changed to take out 80 cents; the 'ac-
cidental short-change artist will push
forward the 20 cents in coin, but his
hand will hold one dime that is hidden
from tbs angle Of vision of the man
getting change by the line of the bar
over the cash hand hole If the man
Is in a hurry, or absent minded, he
grabs the change he sees and rushes
of without one dime. Always stop,
stoop and look. il IN doubt. And you
would be surprised TO know how much
money is left at cashiers counters. box
Offices, subway ticket booths and other
places. I'll wager 100000 is short
