the police department has within it,
proper authority to rid the stroe,s OF

Interfere with legitimate traffic and
who do not add to the Appearance OF u

ON the city's ordinance books ara
to be found laws dealing with nuis-

Sufficient ground To cause wholesale
arrests and convictions. IL has reached
a point in Tulsa when 1t is safer

an stlley in the busy section of the
city than L. attempt to pass down a
street crowded with loafers and groups
of men and women who discuss sub
jects ranging from the health of a
distant relatives to the condition OF
the crops.
ON Of dhe most successful ordin-
ances passed in Tulsa IN the past year
is that which prohibits the parking
OF automobiles on certain streets for
omrc than 80 minutes at time. The
same kind of an arGnance dealing

limit of five minutes, would be
equally as successful.
Tulsa needs a move. on ordinance

PrO-Germans Spread
MANY False Reports

Special 10 The World
NORMAN, OKLA. Dec S.-The food
administration Is warning the house
wives of the state to beware OF pro-
German propaganda that there is a
treatened shortage in salt. laundry
blue and matches. The object Of these
reports is to cause panicky housewives
10 buy up large quantities of these
articles SO that a shortage Will result
and cause people to become dissatis-
fled with war conditions. Three sue
cessive waves of buying have spread
from the eastern states toward the
west. Housekeepors have purchased
as high Las 25 bags of salt, and there
is one instance where one man bought
barrel of salt, enough to last his
family for a life time. Excessive salt
buying was fallowed by runs on laun-
Cry blue and matches. some house
wives buying a years supply at one
time. There Is no shortage in these
articles, but such boarding may re-
suit in real shortage In particular
These drives point to
organized effort, and the food admin
istratton is warning housewives
against these reports and of any other
similar ones that may follow.
