by the suffragettes that four of their
number were kept in the hospital
ward, Congressman Timberlake says
he found that they were placed there
in different rooms because they would
not stop talking when they were all
together in the big dormitory. Dras-
tic measures of discipline are adopted
towards inmates who break these
rules, Timberlake said, but Superin-
tendent Whitaker has not wished to
use these on the suffragettes, so put
them where they could not see each
other.

quantity, or the character of the food.
1t is true for the evening meal they
had only water to drink, coffee being
served only at the morning meal. No
butter was served with this meal nor
is it ever served, while the bread used
by the entire institution, including of
ficers and prisoners, was baked there.
The balance of the cooking for the
woman's department is done by the
women themselves. No corn bread
was available for examination by US
in order that we might investigate
the reports that had been circulated
with reference to its not being eat
able The wheat bread. however. was
of very fine quality, and no objection
whatever could be made to it. The
sanitary conditions OF the sleeping
quarters seemed to be all that could
be expected in an institution of that
kind. The dining room and the kitch-

HARD-SURFACED ROADS.

DURlNG the last year Colonel Floyd Thompson of this
city has probably travelled oyer more highways Of Okla
homa than any other person ever rode the length Of
time Mr. Thompson in public interview that hard
surfaced roads must be built in Oklahoma unless are
content to trail along in the progress which grips this
nation
is that cities outside Of Oklahoma arc quietly
planning 10 build hard surfaced roads to our state lines and
their influence to draw trade away from or own state
If those cities provide highways that usabe in
weather and dry weather they will be able to draw wealth
from Oklahoma that should lie expended or put to work in
our own state.
But the communities OF Oklahoma don't propose to re-
main idle and legitimate business drawn away More
than one city in Oklahoma has arranged build hard
faced roads The plan calls for horoughfaes which can
be used every day in the year
Here at Oklahoma City the subject has been given care
fu consideration yet haven't taken action that will bring
prompt results The war has OF course merlc,cd much
with determination to vote county bonds ia would
permanent highways to meet those OF the adjoining
counties But ii we will pause to give thought to this mat
ter, will not permit international disturbances TO halt our
plans the building OF rdSuraccd roads is more or less
Of military necessity, Just it is peace necessity.
We're talking good deal about business as usual We'd
better build hard roads sustain business If material
is little higher than in past year when talked about
good roads and built bad ones
Now that we've had an opinion by the man who has
ridden all over the state it is time to cease the joint de
bates about good roads and organize to build roads that
ride when It rains when dust blows across
the praires. Well have no comfort in touring until ",
build these hard roads And wen have small ranscont
mental traffic by motorists until VIC can advise them that
! they will not set stuck in mud holes
Docs anyone know why the man who walks slowly al
ways Keeps the middle OF the sidewalk?

which is becoming supper many homes that have decided
to ovh the formal heavy meal night and supant with
lighter meal that will conform the food conseratio
movement
Well why not corn cake, at night There was day in
Oklahoma City when the aforesaid cakes were popu-
lar That in the pioneer times before we'd acquired
the metropolitan airs that call Tor o'clock dinner
Every was have supper in those DAYS when
we had vision OF the lie that was to come with
rounding Of city that takes lot Of interest in affairs
that don't harmon7c with frontier days
But, let's have those cakes. Thi, /, time When
we're saving food and everything else Many families have
changed the elaborate dinner into very moderate one
Some have reinstaed the supper The substantial dinner
at night has flown from a lot of households, OF course it
will be restored after the war ends but, now all together
