TYPEWRITER PROFICIENCY.
Miss Alice M. owen Lectured TO
Pupils of Business College.

Selvidge Business college pupils
were given a rare treat yesterday
AFTERNOON in a lecture by Miss Alice
NJ. Owen. who is with the Reming-
ton Typewriter people, Miss owen
has been in the school department
of this company for four years.
During this time she has visited all
but two states in the union. she
has mastered the typewriter and
the Remington people have employ
ed her to travel from one school TO
another and lecture upon the art OF
using the machine. She tells of the
medal offered by the Remington
company for proficiency but out
side of this nothing is said of the
particular machine she uses.
The fact that the little woman
is kept on the road is abundant
evidence that she arouses entnusi-
asm for this particular typewriter.
Her lecture was along broad lines,
No pupil could hear it and not be
a better pupil. No pupil could hear
it and not be aroused to a doubling
of former efforts toward proficiency.
She illustrated her talk by telling
some amusing stories and at times
the entire school was in laughter
From here she left for Hugo. With
her was Chas. L. Ruhl, the local
representative of the company, who
enjoyed the lecture as much as any
one else.

The Last Word.

Two women, during a friendly meet
ing on the street, got to quarreling
about their ages and used very strong
language toward each other.
At last, as if to end the dispute, one
of them turned away and said, in a
very conciliatory tone of voice; Let
us not quarrel over the matter any
more. |, at least, have not the heart
to do it. never knew who my moth
er was: she deserted me when baby,
and who knows but that you may have

MANUFACTURING IN PRISON
Chairman Lon Frame is Enthusiastic
over Proposition

Oklahoma City, March 2i.-Plans
are making progress looking to I'M
provements in the state penitentiary
at McAlester whereby the plison-
ers there will be able to manufac-
ture most of the supplies used by
the prison and by other state in
stitutions. Chairman Lon Frame of
the board of public affairs is enthu-
siastic over the plan and hopes that
soon after the beginning Of the fis-
cal year on July l the plans will be
in running order.
The canning factory that is to be
used for preserving fruits and veg
etables frcm the big state farm for
use of the inmates OF all the .insti-
tutions is one of the promising ven
lures. Then there IS a tailor shop,
that has already shown its fitness,
which is to be enlarged to make
most of the clothing that is used
in the institutions. 1t will be sup
plemented with a knitting mill that
will make the socks and stockings
and all the knit goods used by the
state. Other industries are a shoe
shcp, broom factory and tin
shop. There is also tobacco fac
tory that is to be enlarged.
It is estimated by the Doard OF
public affairs that the state will
save at least 80 per cent by manu-
featuring its own supplies in the
manner contemplated as against the
present competitive method. In ad-
dition to being saving for the state
the Industries that are to be in
stalled will help to solve the prob
lem of employment for prisoners, and
it is expected to assist in their
reformation by permitting them to
learn the trades involved in the
various processes to the utilized.

ponden , 'e Public Justifying
Action To British Military
~

London, March 25. al admls-
sion was made in pal. -, today
that the British governmeI gave the
army officers in Ireland a written guar
antee that the army would not be used
to crush listers political opposition
to the home rule bill.
The officers were told that the ar
my would be used to maintain law and
order.
In this correspondence with the ar
nv officers in Ireland, Colonel Seely,
secretary of state for war said an OF
ficer was compelled to obey orders
to shoot "only in case the order was
a reasonable one under the circum-
stances"
He said, from general down to prl'
yate the army was expected to use
no more force than was required TO
maintain safety of life and property
He said "If officers and men are led
to believe there is a possibility that
they might be called upon to take
outrageous action, for instance, to
massacre in a demonstration OF Or
angemen, who would be causing no
danger to the lives of their neighbors
Bad as it would be in its effects on
discipline of the army, nevertheless
they are justified in their refusal to
obey"
1t is admitted also officially that the
Irish commander in chief told the Of
ficers in Ulster that they would be
allowed to disappear and afterwards
be reinstated
'Seely said that the king was moi
responsible for the army crisis. AS
quith has refused to accept Seelys
resignation.

wait until after the repeal bill is acted
upon.
The house is through with antitrust
legislation until the senate acts on the
measures and il will devote its time to
