The committee, which is holding
hearings on a bill to conserve public
lands containing radium- bearing
ore, obtained much new information
about the subject M. Flannery
objected to the proposal to have
the government withdraw from er-

cost of $12O,OOO a gram and atter

sented a total investment of $780,

ninety nine claims to radium- bearing
lands in Colorado, or a total OF $40
acres, and employed $50 men.
We would be willing" he said,
"to contract with the government
to deliver within five years after

that the price of the product would

SENATOR OWEN
FOR PRESIDENT
OkLAhOMANS WILL PLACE HIS
NAME BEFORE PEOPLE FOR
HIGHEST OFFICE.

Col. r. A. Sneed, a member of
the Confederate Home board is here
from Lawton. He came to visit a
day with Superintendent Gait and
his family, to mingle a few hours
with the Old soldiers in the home
and to observe the progress wnlcn
is being made in the construction of
the annex which is now under con-
struction.
Col. Sneed was present at the
Owen banquet in Oklahoma City.
He says that probably no other man
in the state was ever given such
an ovation as Senator owen was
given upon that occasion. Prominent
men from all over the state were
there. Seats could not be proylued
for all who desired 70 be at the ban
quet but despite the great crowd
that assembled when Senator Owen
arose to speak there was absolute
quiet in that great throng and ev-
cry word of the speaker could be
heard. He says Oklahomans are
talking seriocsly of Colonel Owen as
a successor to Woodrow
Wilson in the highest office in
the United States and Col. Sneed
will not be surprised to see Okla
homa's senator a formidable can
didate for the presidency.
In speaking of the gubematoral
campaign Col Sneed seemed ITO be
of the opinion that Al Jennings can
didacy will be one of more import
ance than many think for at this
time.
Col. Sneed also stated that Lawton
would be very glad to have direct
railway connection with Ardmore and
expressed the hope that the Ring
ling road would be built on to Law
ton. He did not know the result
of the conference between Mr.. Ha-
mon and the Lawton Chamber OF
Commerce. He said, however, that
if the road went to Waurika and
gave Lawton only indirect cOmmun-
ication with Ardmore, that his city
would not pay anything.

SAYS GET BACK TO YOUTH
Advice of Physical Director to Tired
Business Men About to Take Va
cation Worth Needing.

Business men about to start on their
summer vacations are advised to read
dime novels, smoke cornsilk cigarettes
and act like kids" again, by DR.. Louis
R. Wellsmiller, physical director of the
West Side Y. M. G. A. of New York.
His prescription for the regeneration
of business-worn members Of the as
sociation has been posted all over the
associations building. 1t reads:
Forget your dignity, throw away
your staidness, and be kid again
a wholesome, fun-loving, boisterous
dime-novel-reading kid-during your
vacation Many of you men,, when
youngsters, used to thinkrit great fun
to sneak out behind the barn, with
cigarette made of cornsilk and brown
wrapping paper. 1t won't hurt you to
try the same thing again. You won't
be able to smoke enough to hurt your
self, and there's no danger of con-
tracing the cornsilk habit.
Dime novels make good summer
reading. They are next to the Bible
for vacation reading, but take the BIZ
BILE along, of course. Many great men
read Nick Carter, Jesse James and
like writings for relaxation. Most Of
you men have come to New York and
have made good. Help yourselves to

CHAPTER v.
On the Red Road.

The green, mid-May Virgtnian
afternoon was arched with sky as
blue as the tiles of the Temple of
Heaven and stepped in wash Of sun
light as yellow as gold. Nothing in all
the springy landscape but looked
warm and opalescent and inviting-ex-
cept a tawny bull that from across q
barred fence-corner switched trucu-
lent tail in silence and glowered sui
lenly at the big motor halted notion
less at the side of the twisting road.
Curled worm-like in the drivers
seat, with his chin on his knees, John
Valiant sat with his eyes upon the
distance. For an hour he had whirred
through that wondrous simmer Of
color with a flippant lettering breeze
in his face, sweet from the crimson
clover that poured and rooted over the
roadside.
"Chum, old man." said Valiant, with
his arm about the bulldogs neck, "if
those color-photograph chaps had
shown US this, we simply wouldn't
have believed it, would we? Such
scenery beats the roads we're used to,
what?" He wound his strong fingers
in choking grip in the scruff of the
white neck, as a chipmunk chartered
by on the low stone wall mo, you
don't you cannibal! He's a jolly lit
tie beggar, and he doesn't deserve be-
ing eaten!"
He filled his briarwood pipe and
drew in great breaths of the fragrant
incense What a pity you don't
smoke, Chum; you miss such lott"
After a time he shook himself and
knocked the red core from the pipe
bowl against his boot-heel. 'I hate to
start" he confessed, half to the dog
and half to himself. ITO leave any
thing so sheerly beautiful as this!
However, on with the dance! By the
road map the village can't be far now.
So long, Mr.. Built"
He clutched the self-starter. But
there was only protestant wheeze;
the car declined to bulge Climbing
down, he cranked vigorously. The
motor turned over with a surly grunt
of remonstrance and after a tentative
throb-throb, coughed and stoppea dead.
Something was wrc1s. With sigh
he flung off Ills tweed jacket, donned a
smudgs Jumper" opened his tool-box,
and, with a glance at his wrist-watch
which told him it was three o'clock,
threw up the monsters hood and went
bitterly to work.
At half past three the investigation
had got as far as the lubricator. AT
four o'clock the bulldog had given it
up and gone nosing afield. At half
past four John Valiant lay fat on his
back, like some disreputable stevadore,
alternately tinkering with refractory
valves and cursing the obdurate
mechanism. A sharp stone gnawed
frenziedly into the small of his back
and just as he made final vicious
lunge, something gave way and a
prickling red-hot stab Of pain shot zig
tagging from his smitten crazy-bone

REGIMENTAL CoLORS IN PAWN
Odd Experiences Of British Emblems
Once Greatly Priced by Those
Who Carried Them.

The discovery of the long lost colors
of the old 50th regiment in the garden
of Huntington house, near, Chichester,
Is a reminder of the strange fates that
have befallen so many Of these glor>
ious military emblems, London Tit
Bits remarks. The colors of the S1st
foot-since disbanded-were captured
by American pirates during the war
of independence and hidden away in
Ireland; the colors of the 10th regi-
ment were deliberately burnt prior to
the surrender at Saratoga to prevent
their capture by the enemy.
At Bergen-op-Zoom the Royal Scots,
to save their precious colors from fall
ing into French hands, sank them
deep In the river, though the enemy
later f1shed them out; and when the
second battalion of the 9Th foot was
disbanded at Portsmouth In 1916 the
colors were cut into smaIf pieces and
distributed among the officers.

or of his forebears; since he had been
old enough to wonder about such
things, he had had no one to ask
questions of.

his mind: Sometime, perhaps, you
