LOONEY LEARNS HARD
LIFE OF PATROLMAN

WELL" said Patrolman Looney, with
sigh, Il have always heard that ex-
perience keeps a dear school and now
realize the truth of the adage.
"You see, it's this way. Ever since
| have been connected with the Chick
asha police department have acted
in the capacity of desk sergeant, never
getting out to patrol the city streets,
arrest the boisterous drunk, pinch the
festive vag or glom the slippery leg
ger.
Naturally, having always lived in
the open, longed for the freedom OF
the patrolman's life and, months ago
filed my application for the first va
cancy which might occur on the down
town squad.
mot long since my dreams were re-
allied. The appointment was made
filling a vacancy and became Off
Ger Robert Looney of the Chickasha
force-one of the finest. And now
well, l am doing my duty, none
can derry that But let me tell you
son, when a man who weighs close
to the eighth of a ton becomes flat
foot and gets out and walks over miles
and miles of pavements, seven nights
in the week, 365 nights in year, he
just naturally acquires blisters on the
bottom of his feet. Why, III bet right
now have blister on the bottom of
each of my trilbys, each blister as big
as a dollar, a dollar and half or two
dollars.
"But I'm game. Just as long as the
force of will power will continue to
serve, l am going to perambulate the
streets OF Chickasha, making this city
good and an efficient and faithful
and a conscientious officer so far as
may lay in my power. | am going to
do this, blisters or no blisters. Looks
like rain. Got match?"

MISS G. E. BABBITT DIES
FOIL OWING LONG ILLNESS
Was Connected With Public Library
for Fourteen Years-Tribute
From DR.. G. F. Bowerman.

Miss Grace E. Babbitt, for the last
fourteen years connected with the Pub
lie Library, and for the past three
years reference librarian there, died at
the residence of her cousin. William
L. Thayer, 1866 Park Isz northwest,
yesterday. She was fifty-four years
old. Funeral services are to be held

Ill health forced her to give up her
work a few months ago. DR.. George
F. Bowerman, librarian of the Public
Library, spoke warmly this morning of
Miss Babbitts fine work as public
servant and of the loss sustained by
the library in her death.
Miss Babbitt was much beloved
both by her associates in the library
and by the large number of readers
who frequent our reference ROOM" said
DR.. Bowerman. '"rhey found her not
only a gracious hostess. but also a
competent guide. philosopher and friend
in their studies. She had the happy
faculty of finding out what the readers
wanted, and skillfully and expe-
ditiously meeting their needs. She did
her modest but important work not
primarily for the salary of her posi-
'tion, always too small, but because of
her interest in books and the knoWl-
edge and inspiration they contain, and
because of her satisfaction in helping
people to help themselves"
