OKLAHOMA PEOPLE ASKED

LIEvE STRICKEN PEOPLE

IN ilne with Governor Williams
proclamation showing the awfulness
of conditions existing in Belgium, and
his earnest appeal for the people OF
Oklahoma to cooperate with this
committee in giving food to these
Istarving people. We wish to say that
the people of Oklahoma have given
generously, however, we, like the
other states, are called to the rescue
again to keep an entire nation from
starvation. B
The hearts of all human people have
been tortured since the beginning Of
the war by the terrible suffering of in
Inocent women and children Of Bel
Igium. When one understands what
the suffering and needs of Belgium
|are, the horror Of it almost paralyzes
expression. There is no work. The
factories are closed because they have
no raw material, coal or petrol, be-
cause they have no market.
The greatest relief commissary un-
dertaking the world ever knew has
been so far successfully met, but the
need is constantly increasing. Unless
America will meet the immediate
future with renewed energy and boun-
tiful generosity the black tidal wave
of starvation. ever mounting higher
and darker, will leave in its wake the
victims; children. women and old
men, the destitute non-combatants in
Belgium.
What is it the people of Belgium
ask for? They ask for bread and salt,
no more and it is not forthcoming.
They do not ask for meat: they can
not get II. They have no fires for
cooking, and they do not beg for
petrol. Money is Of little use to them,
because there is no food to be bought
with money. Belgium under ordinary
circumstances imports five-sixths Of
the food she eats. The ordinary chan
neIs Of sale and purchase are closed.
Most Americans eat too much
rather than too little What you eat
in excess OF your needs, what you
waste, would keer some destitute
Belgium alive. win you deprive your
self little in order to help save a |
brave nation, which leans upon
America as a big, strong. prosperous
brother?
s,drely the stuff America is madet
OF will not falter. will not leave un-
finished any task no matter how
great, hut this means every unit of

Oklahoma will do its part gloriously
we are sure, but it remains for each |
of you to continue even more gener-
ously in your giving in order to full
fill this states part in this blessed |
duty to humanity.

of sending shipload of food,
donated entirely by the people OF

ways. which have proven the most

COUNTRY CHILDREN LEAST
HEALTHY.

Professor Thomas u. Wood. an edu-
Gator who has been investigating the
public schools of the United states
from the standpoint OF health, makes
a report which at first glance is sur
prising He says that Of the nations
20. 600. 900 school children, the TO-
100000 who are attending the rural
schools are less healthy and are
handicapped by more physical defects
than are the 100000 who attend
the city schools. The contrast is not
local or sectionalA but prevails In all
parts OF the United States.
We have been accustomed TO taking
at its face value the tradition that
country life is healthier than city life,
and that country children are there
fore sturdier than their city cousins
And yet here we have that tradition
challenged. The boys and girls in the
country have the advantage OF fresh
air and sunshine. of healthful outdoor
exercise. and presumably plenty or
fresh and wholesome food. They live
in an environment naturally less
menacing as regards contagion and
physical perils. ewhy, then, don't they
make a better health showing?
The trouble with the country chill
dren is probably the same as the trou-
BILE with their elders. 1t has been dis
covered that country people in general
have a higher sickness and mortality
rate than city people. And the cause
seems to be simply that they do not
take such good care of themselves,
either as communities or as families
and individuals.
City folk, realizing their handicaps,
try to overcome them. They meet
the dangers Of bad air, close quar-
tiers, neighborhood contagious, smoke,
street dirt, etc, by stricter public SUI
pervision and personal hygiene. They
call the doctor on slight provOcation.
They look after their own digestion,
their teeth, their eyes. noses. threats,
etc. better than country people do.
And In their schools. they give more
attention TO children's environment,
they keep themselves and their chill
dreu in better health; they have less
serious illness and they live longer.
It's all a question of effort. II the
rural population were as solicitous
Of it's health as the city population is,
there wouldn't be any question Of it's
superior health.

The daily war bill OF the six prin-
opal powers at war amounts TO $780,
600, 900. One year of war adds to the
debt Of these six nations the stipend

debt of all the nations of the world

To carry out these plans, they say
they need at least 100000 They
ask every man, woman and child in
the country TO contribute $50 a year
for the Red Cross preparedness.
1t is not pleasant to criticise so ad-
mirable an institution as the Red
Cross. but in this matter II Is, to say
the least, moving faster than the pub
tic can follow IT,
The naval policy already outlined by
the government involves the expendi-
ture of $1OO.OOO.OO0 a year for the
next five years. for the new construc-
ton alone. Army plans will presuma-
bly, entail a first cost of nearly as
much. To this must be added the
huge increase in appropriations neces-
sary TO maintain the army and navy
on the new basis. We face the pros
pect OF doubling, or even trebling. our
war expenditures for the next few
years, although they are already as
heavy as Germany's were until lately.
And on top of that, the Red Cross
wants 500, 100000 more of our
money
This is turning national defense into

to strengthen our defenses. but there
is no Immediate reason why we should

is no more need to raise 100000. 900

BARS AND FLATS.

1t is a little difficult to grasp the
philosophy of Mark Pagan, mayor Of
Jersey City. with regard to the liquor
problem.
The mayor. who is known as a
friend Of the children, has had his ire
aroused by the refusal of apartment
houses along Hudson blvd. to admit
families with children. Casting about
for a lever to use in forcing them
to adopt a more liberal policy, he
finds one ready to his hand. A re-
quest reaches the city hall for a bar
10 be erected Most of these big,
modern institutions, it appears. have
bars. Thereupon Mayor Pagan an
nounces his policy:
mo kids. no bars! I will not toll
crate a liquor license in any place
where children are forbidden"
The logical connection between the
children and the bars must not be
perfectly obvious. but it's there, no
doubt Perhaps the bars are for the
children. Anyhow the liquor is TO be
conveniently available only TO the fiat
dweller who has children. And the
fat-dweller who hasn't any kiidies TO
buy shoes for and set a good example

would be least harmful to his family
and society in general-he is To go
thirsty. Is this new variation OF
