With greater bank clearings
than any other city in the state,
with building permits rivalling
those of Kansas City and the in
crease in the number of en-
ployes in industrial shops, Tulsa
is truly in an ezra of great pros
perity.
From every channel of bust
ness come reports that indicate
prosperous conditions. When
the building permits and the
bank clearings show such enOr-
nous gains and every business
man in the city reports a larger
volume of business than for the
same period a year ago it must
necessarily be realized that Tulsa
is growing bigger and better
than is realized.
New business blocks. scores of
new residences and a lively real
estate exchange also add to the
gene,al improvement in condi-
tons. In all parts of the city
new residences are going up.
Salary earners are building their
own homes, while the millionaire
oil man likewise is building his
permanent home.

That Tulsa is growing faster
than any city in the United
States is proved by irrefutable
figures compiled yesterday by f.
Y. Tucker, the well known Tulsa
statistician, who is noted for his
truthfulness in this respect and
who secured his information
from the newspapers published

The plot deals with the disease

lated 80 dramatically, so cleanly that
It must interest everyone and offend
none.
The reviewers and critics OF hard

Rabbi Simon, Of the washington
Hebrew congregation said: "If l could
preach from my pulpit sermon one

far-reaclling. and as helpful as this
performance of Damaged Goods must
be, would consider that l had
achieved the triumph of my life"
Surgeon General Blue said: ut has
most striking and telling lesson.
For years we have been fighting these
conditions in the navy. 1t is high
time that civilians awakened to the
dangers surrounding them and cru
saded against them in a proper man
ner.'
For the making of this picture a
remarkable array of extraordinary ia
cilities we're necessary, among them
the taking of a number of real scenes
in the Bellevue hospital, of New York.

The G. o. P. leaders-old guard, al

They want TO have a ticket which

They are not SO terribly anxious
about the national ticket going

In view of Hitchcock's known con-

taken by politicians to be prog los-

an indication that Hitchcock now
feels certain of his ground.
Secretary John McGrath phoned his
chief. Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay to-
day and was assured that Roosevelt's
present plans contemplate his absence
from Chicago during the fire works.
