Suggesting Pain and Disease.

Grown people often aggravate the
little aches and pains of children by
making too much of them. 1t would be
better if they would turn the mind of
a child off from most of his troubles
and ailments. The principle applies
Just as we'll to youth as it does to
childhood 1t will be granted that
when child has serious complaint,
it ought to be discovered early. But
the best way for the parent to discov-
er it is to learn the signs of serious
disturbances so that he can read
them without asking the child whether
he feels bad" A parent ought to
be able to tell when child has a
fever or when he is not being prop
erly nourished, or when he has a long
continued pain due to malfunction Of
any kind. The less said to the child
about these things, the better. unless
his case is unusual. The child's health
should be in the keeping of parent,
teacher, and medical inspector. He
should follow, as a matter of habit, a
healthful regime in respect to food, ex-
ercise, cleanliness, etc, and then his
thoughts should be kept on optimistic
and constructive instead of gloomy
and introspective matters.-Mothers

THE NIGHT SCHOOL

1t is important to the ambitious
men and women past the school age,
and also to boys and girls denied
the privilege of the day school, that
the city board of education made
plans for an efficient night school
the coming year The night school
should have its opening in September
when the day schools open. The
board should take just as much
pride in its success as in the day
school While the school law pre-
sumes that the board shall conduct
only day school, yet we have out
grown that law. The night school
has come to stay. We no longer tell
the young man or young woman that
If they miss early educational advan-
tages that they are forever denied
them. Youth lasts as long as we
entertain its buoyancy, hope, JOY and
enthusiasm. 1t fades only when we
want to admit that further progress
cannot be made. Educational advan-
tages are offered to every person,
without regard to age. If they have
ambition TO learn, although their days
may be spent at gainful occupations,
the night school offers proper guild
ance. The mos needful thing on the
part of the pupil is burning desire
60 be something more and to do some
thing more, and as long as there is
one such person in the entire city,
the board of education should supply
the means of gratifying these desires.
The board and the teachers have
a wonderful opportunity to leave the
imprint of their lives upon the hearts
of a grateful few who want a night
school maintained in their city.

THE TERM HIGH JiNK."

Do you know who high jlnk is:
1t is a term used in the lingo of the
bootlegging profession and you prob
ably have not heard of it. 1t is said
to have been used for some time on
the northern line of the state, and
has only recently been introduced
in the southern portion.
A high ink in one sense of the
word is hold-up mana robber,
except that he robs certain class
of individuals. His robberies are
confined to persons who are violating
the law. 1t frequently happens that
a person who has hauled wagon or
an auto load of whiskcy across the
line from Texas that he Is robbed
of his load, and sometimes his money.
The man who while violating the law
is robbed of his contraband goods
cannot appeal to the law for protec-
ton. The man who takes the whis-
key from another is high jink and
the man from whom it was taken is
said to have been high linked.
1t is also usual for high jinks to
enter points in oil field towns and in
other places where they are allowed
to thrive and to hold up the proprie-
tor and take all the valuables in sight,
including all the money on hand.
There are times when these places
where whiskey is sold and different
kinds of gambling INDUCED in that
large sums of money are on hand
In order to protect their places
against attacks of high jinks, guards
armed with Winchester rifles are sta
toned where they can overlook the
tables. In some of the
large places as many as half dozen
rife barrels with men at the breech
point from portfolios around the cell
ing of the building. There is one
place where steel cage was placed
in one of these places where man
with gun in hand and pointing out
into the building, sits every hour,
lay and night The guard is pro
.ected by the steel and he would
be able to shoot down as many high
inks as would dare to enter the

Manager Edwards of the Ardmore
Athletic Club has brought Bobby
Waugh and Clyde dwight from Dallas
to this city, and they will continue to
make Ardmore their future home.
Dwight boxes Roscoe Afford ten
rounds at Ragtown next Monday night.
frankie Sanders and frankie Man
lila will mingle for the same number
of rounds, and Roy Young and Mel
son Coin will go on for six.
Clyde Dwight is considered one of
the best middleweights ever develop
ed in Texas. He has worked his way
from the lightweight class to the
middeweights, and out of forty con-
tests has won thirty of them clean,
lost two decisions and had eight
draws. He has been sparring part
ner of Bobby Waugh for the past four
years, and the training he has re-
ceived has made a good glove artist
of him. Afford will have to extend
himself to get a decision over this
latest entry. Afford is a good man
and a scientific boxer. The way he
performed here in his last contest
demonstrated to the fans that he is
a dangerous contender and likely to
put over the sleep wallop at any
stage of the game.
Bobby Waugh will meet Sailor
Kirk in Writ June II. Waugh is
well known to followers of the fistic
game. He has won over the three
White brothers, defeating Battling
Nelso nand Ad Wolgast, and is among
the most prominently mentioned for
the championship Edwards will have
charge of all boxing exhibitions at
Writ during the season.
Dwight and Afford are evenly
matched Dwight weighs 165, Afford
161 pounds.

road outlet into the city are far more
valuable than the farm that is shut off
from the city five months out Of the
year on account of impossible roads.
The farmer benefits by easier haul
ing, cheaper transportation, time saw
ing and better social conditions for
his wife, children and self.
THE city benefits by cheaper prod
uce, the opportunity for the rural resi-
dent to get into the city and make
purchases and the merchant in town
can extend his zone of delivery far out
into the country.
"The best proof that good roads
bring prosperity is brought home to
the very doors of Washington by a
comparison of the two states on the
borders Of the District Of Columbia.
Maryland has practically finished a
six-year job Of good roads building
Virginia has hardly commenced. A
two-hour automobile ride, say to Fred
erick, Md, followed by two-hour ride
through Virginia to Warrenton, will
show a contrast that is not hard to
understand.
Washington has profited greatly by
the good roads to Frederick. 1t has
brought thousands of dollars to this
city.
within the past year good road
has been built to Fairfax, Va, which
is half way to Warrenton. Conditions
for the better are noticeable along this
stretch. Twenty-three more miles are
needed to put Warrenton in close
touch with the capital. A greater part
of the amount necessary has been
raised In the country district, the bal
ance is looked for in Washington. Just
how far the business and motorists in
Washington will go along this line is
problematical, but that Washington
will profit by good road to Warren
ton or any other Virginia town within
a radius Of fifty to one hundred miles
is certainty. Making the path to
ones door easy for the purchasers is
always good advertising. Helping
build a good road into the city that
will bring thousands of buyers into
town is surely making the path cas-

FOUNDING of GUYS Hospital.

Guys hospital, in London, one OF
the largest institutions of its kind in
the world, was founded by Thomas
Guy in 1921, "and thereby hangs a
tale" Guy was rich and miserly, and
in middle age he became engaged to
marry one of his maidcervants Pre-
paratory to the wedding he gave or.
ders for the pavement in front of his
house to be mended as far as a par
ticular stone, which he marked. In
his absence the maid to whom he
was engaged was watching the work
men, and noticing a broken place they
had not repaired she called their at
tention to it. They replied that Mr..
Guy had told them to repair only so
far. Well" said she, you mend it,
and tell him | told you to. | am sure
he will not be angry" But he was,
so angry that he broke the engage
ment, renounced the idea of matri-
mony altogether, and resolved to spend
his fortune in building a great hos
pital, which he did.

ASPHALT OIL BEST ON ROADS

The only kind Of oil used in oiling
streets or roads, in the opinion of

fin will evaporate rapidly and leave
a road muddy and sticky.

here has analyzed many samples of
road oils sent TO the university from
various parts of the state. Oil that
has an asphalt base will give almost
