Curry evangelistic services are being

a few words of the English language
but many of them did not understand
a word that was spoken. Nevertheless
they appeared to, enjoy the services
and often men who did understand
the language translated to those of
their race who sat near them.

In only few cases have the treas

comply with the new law which re-
quires that interest be paid on all

In one case not now closed the treasur-

his bank will not permit him to do so.
The legal department of the state will
probably take steps to see that the law
is complied with. But in most of the
districts of the state the school dis
tricts are securing the benefit of the
law.

INSPECT PLACES

AND IF NECESSARY ORDER NEED
ED CHANGES FOR THE CON-
VENlENCE AND COMFORT.

Mrs. A. L. Curtis county probation
officer and also president of the HUI
name society, has issued orders to
all persons operating laundries, fac
tories, and other places employing
women that they must install electric
fans, furnish ice water, and keep their
places in a sanitary condition in COM
pliance with the state law.
One place in the city yesterday, en-
ploying a number of women and girls,
was notified to install fans immediate
ly.
This order will be greatly appre-
ciated by the mass of working women
in the city who are compelled to work
for long hours sometimes in places
and under conditions that, are any
thing but ideal. Besides, Mrs. Curtis
states, that it is the law, and being
enforced in other places in the state,
why not in Ardmore. 1t is predicted
that there will be brisk demand for
electric fans following this order, and
as the supply is rather limited, accord
ing to reports from dealers, it will be
some days before all her orders may
be complied with.
