SKILL OF
STUDENTS
Is SHOWN

And still the people flock to the
show window of the ]. e. Schow furn-
iture store to view the manual train
ing and domestic science exhibit of
the Chickasha high school on display
there. The exhibits show that much
progress is being made in these two
practical branches of the high school
course.
The display runs strong on the do
mestic science department, showing
that the girls of that department are
turning out not only practical work
but beautifully wrought embroidery in
attractive designs. Garments galore
of divers descriptions are on display,
constructed of dainty material, with
beautifully blended colors. In addi-
ton are fancy pillow tops and laundry
bags, initiated, in harmonizing shades.
Not only have the girls displayed
much cleverness and ability in con-
structing the things of feminine wear,
but in at least two instances they have
stepped over into the manual training
department and have demonstrated
that they know how to WELD tools
other than the knitting or sundry other
needles. An oak chair, something on
the order of camp chair, is one OF
| the finished articles by girl in the
high school, done in the manual train'
Ii ing shop at the high school. Anothes

stand that might be used as music

article.

That the proposition for city
league for Chickasha is meeting with
approval among the fans, is evidenced
by the interest that is being manifest
ed. 1t is the frequent topic of con-
versation among the bugs and though
the ideas expressed in these i'm
promptu tanning bees as to the proper
method of handling such an organiza-
tion, are varied, it seems that there
will be no trouble in arriving at some
conclusion that will be acceptable TO
all and make the venture success.
Every man who ever played ball in
Chickasha or out, or who ever had a
brother or distant relative who could
lay claim to being possessed of base
ball ability, seems ready to offer his
services as player and the call for
volunteers will doubtless bring forth
numerous recruits.

Socialists Oppose War.

BY United Press.
Rome. May l2-The Socialists In
parliament have decided to oppose the
entrance OF Italy into the war.
An interview between Ex-Premier
Gi> htti and King Victor Emanuel
Tuesday. was followed by longer one
between the ex-premier and Premier
Salandra.
Signor Giolitti was informed OF all
the negotiations that had been entered
into both with the central empires
and with the allied countries. This
was done so as TO enable him to judge
the situation in its entirety and with
the hope that the whole parliamen;
would be unanimous in the decision
which Italy is expected to take within
the next few days.
Italy, however it is pointed out in
official circles, has UP to the present
been able to remain entirely free to
take one decision or the other and
still not break with either side.
