.DEBATERS TO Be
NAMED TOMORROW
Will Select Those Who Are
to Represent This
City.

Tomorrow night will see the COM
petition for places on teams to repre-
sent Tulsa high school in the annual
triangular debate between Tulsa,
Muskogec and Oklahoma City. The
try-out will be held in the high school
auditorium and over dozen men
have entered the race.
The triangular debate is the biggest
event in Oklahoma forensic circles
and is to be held this year on April
%. Each school will have two teams,
one to debate at home and another
away from home. The teams will be-
sin preparation under the direction
of +. V. Westhaver, instructor In pub
lie speaking. as soon as picked.
Although the entry list is not quite
sure. the individuals who are already
on hand make the prospects for good
teams bright. Among those who will
be back are two members of last
years teams, James Tuttle and
Maurice Tuttle. These two men were
strong factors in Tulsa's stand last
year and should profit greatly by
their experience this year.
In addition to this there will be
Lloyd Stone and Herman Lauteret,

other of last years debaters was ex-
pected to be here but was called home
last week by the illness Of his father.
All three boys who represented
Tulsa in the state debate of this
school year will be out for positions
and are certain to be fifty per cent
better by their experience.
New Item This Yea.
A new item this year will be the
entrance of several girls in the race.
The young ladies have taken a great
deal of interest in the activity this
year and it is probable that at least
some of them will make the teams.
The speeches upon which the en-
trants will be judged will be seven
minutes long and upon the triangular
question, that of a government owned
merchant marine. The judges who
will pick the six men will be f. Il.

DONATION DAY FOR
The LITTLE TOTS
Anything You Give Will BE
Appreciated by Day
Nursery.

This is Donation day at the Tulsa
Day nursery and all who have been
touched by the appeals of Baby week
should contribute his mite toward
helping care for babies who have all
the ODDS against them. AT o'clock
in the afternoon Mrs. Murray Russell
will address a meeting at the nursery
building, IA West Fourth street.
The meeting will be open to the
public and the board of the nursery
is expecting a large crowd. This
meeting, together with the various
teachers patrons associations of the
city schools, will constitute the only
affairs at which the public may hear
expert testimony on the subject of
the care of babies.
If the proper interest Is shown, 1t
is probable that a Mothers club Will
be formed as permanent outgrowth
of the Baby week activities in Tulsa.
This club will conduct regular meet
ings and will take as its aim the i'm
provement Of the conditions OF babies
and the general decrease of infant
mortality in this country and city.
Mrs. Russell, who is TO make the
talk to women, Is especially adapted
to the role. for she was for four years
a leader in just such work in Los
Angeles, Cal. She was an active
worker in one of the large missions
of that city and succeeded in estab-
fishing schools all over the city for
the instruction Of mothers.
There already is a Mothers club
in the city. but this is OF limited
membership and will not interfere
with the organization contemplated
This club has been given new impetus
by the week and will hold a special
meeting today for all its members.
Washington school holds another
session today which will be open to
the public. 1t is under the direction
of the Patrons-Teachers association
and IS only one of the many activities
in the city schools this week.
Miss Myrtle Hatch. supervisor of
the department of hygiene in the
schools, will be the main speaker
and has made extensive preparations
for the theme. Her talk will be on
Conservation Of Baby Life" Dr. ].
NJ. Temples will speak on The Care
of Babies Teeth" and Mrs. H. A. Felt
will expound the subject Of Habit

Ianlbing Time.

1t will not be long till the spring
lambs begin to come. In order TO
have the greatest possible success it
is necessary to give the ewes special
attention. While exercise is impor-
tant any time throughout the year, 1t
is of the greatest Importance few
weeks previous to and during the
lambing season. If the ewes have
had to feed on dry corn or grain
sorghum fodder without any vara-
ton other than crabgrass and prairie
range, the ewes will need alfalfa hay
or bran and oats, or both. one to
one and one-half pounds of alfalfa
hay and one-quarter to one-half
pound of oats and bran would be suf-
ficient for 150-pound eve previous
to lambing if she is in fair condition.
Avoid too much grain before lamb
ing.
If the flock Is rather large it will
be best to separate the ewes that are
ready to lamb from the main flock
When the eve is lambing it Is wise to
try to be on hand and quietly watch
to see IL she needs help. DO not be
too ready to assist. If she can give
birth to her lamb without help 1t
does away with the trouble that may
arise from exciting her. But If she
has tried for several hours without
success, gently help by drawing only
when she strains. AS soon as the
lamb Is born clear the birth sack
from the mouth and nostrils and dry
with gunnysack, II the weather is
cold. This will aid normal circula-
tion. The lamb should nurse as soon
as 1t has had time to rest up and get
its bearings. which will be in very
few minutes If it is normal II the
lamb will nurse without helm Il Is
best to let him do that. But IL the
lamb is awkward 1t Is best to give II
some help. This may mean setting
the eve up and getting the lamb
down to the nipple and placing the
teat in the lambs mouth. In some
cases it will be necessary to even
milk into the lambs mouth to get II
to suck. Watch carefully to see that
the udder of the eve is not covered
with wool in order to avoid wool
sucking and trouble in finding the
teat. Trim the long wool away from
the udder
After the lamb is a day or two old
the eve, If well, should be ready to
have her ration increased. Gradual
ly increase the oats and bran and put
little corn or kafir chop with 1t so
that when her lamb is two or three
weeks old she will be getting one and
one half to two pounds Of grain per
day, and continue liberal feed of
alfalfa hay, about one and one-half to
two pounds per day, with the other
rOughage--silage or corn fodder, and
If possible let the ewes run with their
lambs on wheat pasture.-D. A.

Mrs. Gladys Vance a Wit
hess First Day of Inter
eSting Trial.
A CELEBRATED CASE
Whatever the Outcome. the
Losers Will Appeal to
Supreme Court.

The celebrated millionaire baby"
case fell full under the rays of the
lunelight again yesterday, when Mrs
GLADYS ancc began her fight in the
district court to have the divorce pro-
cccdings. which occurred before the
death of her husband, Benjamin
Vance, set aside and to have the court
place construction on the will. The
case is being tried before Special
Judge j. w. Campbell of NOwata.
Much depends upon the outcome of
this case as Mrs. Vance's attorneys
must show that fraud was perpetrated
in procuring the divorce and property
ana rich oil lands aggregating more
than million dollars is the pawn.
Mrs. Vance took the stand yester-
day and told of how she had married
Benjamin Vance when he was work
ing as bookkeepor and receiving n
salary of SO a week. only a few
months later oil was discovered on his
allotment and immense royalties came
to him almost Immediately.
Threatened Prosecution
She told of drawing several checks
on his account in February, 1915,
and said he told her he could prose-
cute her. Later Mrs. Vance said he
told her he would prosecute unless
she would agree to let him have a
divorce.
''He told me he would take my
baby away unless he could have a
divorce and finally | signed "A paper
giving him the custody of the child
and all property rights through fear"
The divorce was procured by Vance
May I. 1915. ana Mrs. Vance agreed
not to contest the case. according to
the testimony introduced
William Vance said that royalties
from the rich oil lands owned by his
son from last June to the present time
amounted to $4,000 and last month
alone was $1,000.
other witnesses who testified yes
terday were Judge Conn Linn. Robert
Law, Gertrude Purdy. Frank Ingra-
ham and Attorney Baldwin. The
plaintiff rested early in the afternoon
and the defendants Immediately en-
tered demurrer to the evidence and
argued until the close of court.
II is expected a decision in the case
will be forthcoming today and what
ever the result it is certain the case
will be appealed to the supreme
court where all of the other cases
have already been taken.
Baby Benjamin Vance. jr, was not
in court yesterday.

Y,W.C. A. CAMPAIGN
MEETING SUCCESS
Halfway Mark Of Move
ment to Subscribe $4,000
Reached Yesterday.

The halfway mark was reached
yesterday by the committees solicit
ing funds for a $4,000 \. w. c. A.
budget.
This announcement was given out
late last night by Miss Florence
Hanson secretary of the association
following one of the most strenuous
days work of the campaign. Al
though well satisfied with the prog
ress that has been made, the leaders
in the association said last night that
they expected it would be necessary
to continue the campaign until Satur-
day night, the closing date originally
set. 1t was first thought the money
would be raised before the end or
the six days. but as much delay mas
ensued on account of the inability to
see many of the prominent business
men. it probably will be necessary to
continue the campaign up unlll the
last minute.
A feature of the campaign yester-
day was the meeting of the workers
in the private dining room of the \.
NJ. &. A. Heretofore the MONDAY
uncheons had been held in the caf-
ctcria. but the change was made in
order to give more privacy to the
workers and afford them "A better op'
portunity to make plans for its con-
tinuancc.
Several of the women workers
made short talks at the luncheon,
but it remained for G. Il. Buchner,
secretary of the Y. NJ. G. A., to put
the real enthusiasm into the meeting.
He told of the obstacles encountered
and finally overcome in the campaign
for funds for the new Y. NJ. c. a.

though the papers Of Commissioner
Carl Gregg for reelection as commits
sioner No. 2 were filed a short time
afterwards.
DR.. s. D. Hawley, candidate for the
Republican nomination for mayor,
filed early yesterday, thereby making
himself the first Republican to take
such action 1t is thought there will
be other filings today, while practi-
cally all are expected to be in before
the end of the week
Mr. Downing now is a resident OF
the first ward. instead of the fourth,
as when he filed on two previous oc-
casions. He has served two terms as
commissioner of streets and lighting,
having been elected on the Demo-
cratic ticket in 1912 and 1914. Mr..
Gregg still is resident of the third
ward.
Regarding Polling Places.
Although it may be necessary to
make some changes in the polling
places of the various voting precincts
of the city, Mr.. Kenton last night was
not sure such action would be taken.
The fact that the election will take
place during the regular school ses-
sion makes it probable the polling
places in school buildings will be
taken elsewhere. However. there are
comparatively few such polling places
in the city and few changes will be
necessary.
All those who voted at the last reg
ular election will he entitled to vote
this year without the necessity OF
registering. provided they have not
changed their residence. When places
of residences are changed registra
ton Is necessary. All newcomers
will have to register to be entitled to
the ballot at the city election. and
then only after they have been resi-
dents of the city six months.
Indications now are that the total
vote Of the city this year will be
heavier by many hundreds than ever
before,
