No matter how eloquent an orator
grows. no matter how high he eulo-
gizes the president or the country, or
ladds the virtues OF the Stars and
Stripes, no hand-clapping or applause
Of any kind is permitted.
There Is only one place in the Unite
States that we know of where APP
plause is permitted and where prac-
tlcally no applause Is given--that is
the east side of the state of oklahoma
No matter how often the presden;
OF the United States may appear on
the screen In the movies there Is no
applause in eastern Oklahoma.
In every other section OF the United
States the appearance of the presi-
dents picture on the screen is an oc-
casion for an immediate outburst Of
applause. The same meets the flag.
Not so In eastern oklahoma. ard

Why is Il?
