SHOOTING FISH IN GUIANA

Each in His Little Cot.

The scene was the clubroom; the hour advanced Serious, gloomy. cheerful, elated were the earnest faces of the takers by turn, as the arguments for and against came thick and fast.
 And the subject under debate-"Do Fish Sleep?" That was all; but it was sufficient to keep them at 1t till late hour of the night, while patient ly waited their respective wives at home.
 So fercely waged the controversy that it burnt itself away. There came lull most of the debaters Eere played right out.

Don't Delay Helninn otbe,s

To do the right thing little late. has much the same result as if one did the wrong thing. 4 letter of sylnpa- thy delayed several months, means very little to the recipient. An offer of helpfulness coming when your friend has struggled through the worst of her difficulties calls out very little gratitude. Sometimes delay of i've minutes will spoil a piece of helpful ness as completely as if it had been postponed for years. Learn to do the right thing at the right time.

The Arabs Cloak.

The cloak the Arab wears is cut square. It is his universal and in separable covering. It is his coat by day and his blanket by night. It was this cloak that in Old Testament times had to be returned at night-fall if it had been taken in pledge during the day. Otherwise the Semitic would have had no covering when he slept. These abas, as they are called, are becoming popular in England.

Lloyd Georges Paris
Speech to Be Debated

LONDON. Nov. 1S.-The parliament
tary correspondents of the Sunday
newspapers are unanimous in thelr
anticipation that tomorrows impor-
tant debate in the house of commons
on Premier Lloyd Georges Paris
speech will clear the air and end the
controversy which has been ranging
during the last week. They picture
the premier in a most militant mood
and welcoming the opportunity OF de-
Tending his plan for an allied war
council against his critics-repre-
sented as an irreconcilable combina-
ton of radicals, pacifists and militant
conservatives.
1t is expected the premier VIII clear
away any misconception that his re-
marks i'm Paris were intended as a
reflection on army leaders. He also
is expected to deal with the pTospec-
tive Inclusion of American represen-
tatiyes in the council and to explain
why no special arrangements have
been made for naval coordination.
The political correspondent of the
Sunday Times says that with the ex-
ception of Andrew Bonar Law, chan
cellor of the eXchequer, the members
OF the war cabinet are in full accord
with the premier's new policy of form
ing an allied war council and will sup
port him even in the event OF military

Confidence of Moneyed Men
Who Build Skyscrapers

With the opening last week OF the
finest edifice in the southwest occu-
pied by banking institution, IL seems
opportune to review the achievements
of the past few months in the real
estate and building line and to give
expression to the sentiment of the
business interests as to the outlook
for the immediate future.
At no time during the past decade
has the wonder .ully progressive spirit
of Tulsa so eXemplified itself as ii has
thus far In 1917. Tho the world is
war-torn and everywhere the equli-
brim of commercialism has been shat
tered, still Tulsa has extended her
boundaries in all directions, and fine
office buildings of the most modern
type. have supplanted the old one
story structures that formally housed
her business enterprises.

with numerous additions to other inn
posing structures the scores of lesser
structures. Tulsa will have made a
great, stride toward the cherished
goal-that Of being classed as a metro

word.

structure of 10 stories, 75X140 feet will
soon be erected in a central location.
Ground Is being broken for a new
