Of EXPLOSION
T0BE OBSERVED.
ACTING MAYOR STATES THAT
HE is IN FAVOR OF KNOCKING
OFF WORK FOR FIVE MINUTES
THE AFTERNOON OF SEPT. 27.

Acting Mayor Joe NJ. London stated
this morning that he was heartily in
favor OF fttingly observing the ami,
yersary of the great explosion that
wrecked so much city property and
was the cause of 43 deaths on the
27th day of last September, and in
observance of that event would pro-
mulgate a proclamation asking that
every business man in the city cause
his business to pause for five min
utes between 227 and 2:32 p. m. on
the afternoon of Wednesday the 9th
of this month. In speaking of this.
he stated that it was not expected
that business houses would close
their doors, but that employers and
employees alike would be given five
minutes pause in which to reflect on
that stirring scene and contemplate
the great city that has risen Phoenix
like from its ashes in one short year
to be the marvel of the state.
1t is planned to have the giant sven
whistle of the ArdmOre Ice, Light &
Power company plant sound the
warning at 1927. and again at the ex-
piration of the five-minute period at
2:32. In this way everyone would
be warned and all business would
cease during the interim.
Several business men OF the city
have been interviewed on the sub
ject and are heartily in favor OF the
movement and state that it is but
fitting that such be observed. The
mayors proclamation will be issued
in the next few days covering the
subject.

Seated at a piano in a bungalow
studio built for him at West Engle-
wood, n. j., Ralph Blakelock, the
landscape artist whom fame found
long after he had quit painting and
had been sent to an insane asylum
seventeen years ago, told his liber-
ators that he would paint himself
back to freedom. Softly touching the
keys to accompany his words, he
gave a picture of what he hoped to
do despite his seventy years Blake
lock was brought from the State
Hospital for the Insane at Middle
town, n. Y, by Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
Adams of Orange, ~ j. to Lynwood
Lodge, a private sanitarium. Mrs.
Adams who with other admirers of
Blakelock's art, had arranged for his
release from Middretown on six
months parole, went to the institu-
tion with a writ from the supreme
court ordering that Blakelock be
placed in her care. Blakelock hopes
to paint such a picture as he be-
lieved is expected of him because of
his election to the National Academy
OF Design last year. 1t is probable
that landscape along the Hudson will
be his subject. A fund of $4,000 has
been raised for the painter, II he
makes pictures such as he used to
make he will soon be able to repay
his benefactors. 1t was when he ped
died his pictures in vain seventeen
years ago in an effort to support his
family that he lost HIS mind. The
career OF Blakelock has been one of
the tragedies of American art. He
was born in New York in 1S47. He
never attended an art school, but
studied alone and gave play to his
talent. His first fame came from In
dian canvases, but his landscapes won
him a lasting place.

DR.. ]. w. Duke, Commissioner.

Under the direction of the state
board of health sanitary surveys of
number of the towns and cities OF
Oklahoma have been made. The
places SO far surveyed have been
principally those in which state edu-
cational institutions are located. The
present survey, however, is only part
OF an extended plan of the state
health board for first ascertaining
actual health conditions and then i'm
proving those conditions in every sec
tion of the state.
one of the most marked features
of the survey has been the favorable
attitude of both officials and the peo.
pie of the places visited. There has
not in single place been the slight
est disposition to look on the repre-
sentatives of the state health board
as intruders, or as persons who were
meddling in what did not concern
them On the contrary, it has been
from the very first generally recog-
nized that the sole object of the state
health board and its representatives
in question, to reduce the sickness
and death rate and to make the peo-
pie healthier. The result has been
a cordial cooperation and sympathy.
In almost every case IT has only been
necessary for the representative OF
the state health board to point out
the unhealthful condition and how it
could be remeded The individual
concerned or the local officials as
the case may be, would promise very
promptly to act upon these recommen-
dations. Moreover, these promises
have been kept
institutions Visited.
The institutions and places included
in the present survey are: Central
Normal School, Edmond; East Cen
tral Normal School, Ada; Northeast
Normal School, Tahlequah; North
west Normal School, Alva; Southeast
Normal School, Durant; Southwest
Normal School, Weatherford; Univer-
sity of Oklahoma, Norman; Uniyersi-
ty Preparatory Schools, Claremore

Mines, Wilburton; State School for
the Deaf, Sulphur; 1;ate School for
the Blind, Fort Gibson; A. & NJ. Col
lege, saltwater; Boys Training School
at Pauls Valley; School for the Fee
Bile Minded, Enid.
In many places suggestions by the
state board of health representative
have resulted in organization to ac-
complish results when would be diff
cult or expensive for individuals.
This was especially the case in the
smaller places. In one small town
there was no adequate system for
garbage collection from the business
district. The result was that con
ditions in and about many OF the
stores were insanitary. If merchant
wanted his rubbish and garbage dis
posed of he had to hire man with
a team to do it. The result was that
it was done only at long intervals,
on the suggestion of the board OF
health representative number of the
combined and paid each
small sum weekly to man with
team, who agreed to make regular
collection trips. The expense to each
merchant under this plan Will be
small, yet sanitary conditions will be
greatly improved.
