Cat Was UnspmnaihciiC.

Congressman Stuart +. Reed OF
West Virginia is a good orator. with
a plausible manner. and except for
one thing he would have become a
Baptist preacher.
The one thing that rather upset
Reeds plans and diverted him from
early ambitions to become a Baptist
preacher was n cat. Its name was
Tom and II was cat having many
admirable traits of character. But II
had little regard for its own spiritual
well being. In fact. 1t showed almost
n total lack of friendly cooperation
in ceremonies pertaining to It's saliva
ton.
Reeds parents took him to witness
public baptizing. He was SO i'm
pressed with what he saw that when
he returned home he got a washtub
and sought to interest the family cat
in dwelling on n loftier plane than
had appealed to 1t heretofore. He
tried TO make II plain to the cat that
the incident OF immersion I'm the
washtub was n mere formality. But
the cat failed to catch his point OF
view, and when Reed finally agreed to
abandon the bapusmal exercises his
arms and face looked as II they had
been thoroughly grated with u nut
meg crater.
The incident had much to do with
his decision to let the world seek its
BAPTIST preachers elsewhere -Katlsas

20 Spend as much for vegetables

Rough on the Judge.

It was one of those tense moments
In a crowded court when the pris-
oner fate seemed to depend on the
next answer of the witness. There
was an expectant hush on all present.
when suddenly the opposing counsel
butted In with a noisy objection based
on some obscure point Of law. For
ten minutes or more the prisoner was
forgotten while Judge and counsel
were involved in n tangle of legal
phrases and precedents. Altho the
controversy was absolutely unintellg
ible to the crowd present II was clear
enough to the dullest intelligence thar
counsel was more than holding his
own In the argument. This was also
painfully apparent TO the Judge him

GOVERNOR FLAYS COAL PRICE
Half of Defense Council Price Is
Enough, Indiana Executive Says.

acknowledgements Goodrich OF
Indiana is trying to show the inter-
state commerce committee of the SEN
ate that the price of 50 a ton at the
mine, recently agreed on by the coal
operators and the Peabody committee
of the Council OF National Defense. is
nearly 100 per cent too high.
The Indiana governor practically
put It up to congress to enact laws
fixing the price of coal or to give
some commission that authority, say
ing that If congress did not do so he
would call a special session of the
Indiana legislature to regulate coal
prices in his state
In 2-hour session, Governor Good
rich showed the committee more real
inside information regarding the coal
situation than It has had in a month
of hearings at which coal operators
railroad men and others have testified.
After scoring the price as agreed
on by the operators and the Peabody
committee, Governor Goodrich read
letters into the record from various
Indiana manufacturers showing that
the Peabody agreement had caused
coal prices to go up instead of down
In Indiana. Before the agreement was
reached he showed the Indiana con-
sumers were paying s225 at the mine
for their coal. After the agreement
was reached s2.75 was the average
price.

a president OF n coal company and his
several yearS' experience as a peceiver

clared he was in position to know

Altho up to a late hour last night
neither city nor county exemption
board had gotten any such list, the
official bulletin of draft numbers,
sent directly from Provost Marshal
General Crowder in Washington, was
received by The World yesterday
morning. This is the first official

Together with the list OF numbers,
as certified by the government, is Il
list of specific instructions designed
for puzzled men, who come under the

found some of the pertinent questions
which have been rained on local au-
thorities.

soon as their certified copy arrives,
the notifications of men to appear
for physical examination can be ne
gotiated and the selection will be un-
der way.
In the meanwhile the county board
is marking time. Extra physicians

MOVIES TO TEACH WAR
Embryo Officers May BE Instructed In
Battle Ruscs by Pictures.

1t is possible that avy and army Of
flcers will soon receive some intensive
training in tactics, battle maneuvers.
aerial methods of defense and attack
by means OF motion pictures. The
possibilities OF such means of in
structing officers resulted from n pri-
vate demonstration of series OF mo-
ton picture animated diagram OF his
the Fiske torpedo plane In IA local
movie producers studio.
Among those who witnessed the ini-
tial presentation OF the pictures were
Rear Admiral Bradley a. Fiske. L. S.
n, retired. inventor of the torpedo
plane, wichh may be utilized by the
government in the present war.
The picture comprises series OF
drawings and shows in detail the
theory and operation of the torpedo
plane, n type of hydro-airplane. IL
carries a torpedo equal In power to
those which are discharged by sub
marine and is capable of destroying
the largest battleship afloat. The tor
pedo plane is equipped with an auto
matte release. which sets the propeller
of the torpedo in motion as II releases
the projectile.
After showing In detail the con-
struction of the entire apparatus the
motion picture shows an attacking
fleet and the response of the airplane,
which rises from its hangar on the
shore, files within range of the battle
ship and then, making sudden swoop
toward the water launches It's deadly
missile, which plunges into the water
and goes straight to It's mark. sending
the battleship to the bottom in a most
realistic manner.
Admiral Fiske expressed himself as
being immensely pleased with the mo-
ton picture animated diagram of his
Invention and recommended that the
film be taken to Washington and
shown before the naval board. and II
was while looking at the picture that
he conceived the idea OF producing
animated drawings.-NewY York Her

TULSA COUNTY BREAKS
AUTO LICENSE RECORD
Inspector Frank Carter Leaves
After Inducing 1910 Own
ers to Come Thru.

That there are more automobiles
in Tulsa county than any other in the
state is evident from statistics com
piled yesterday by Inspector Frank
Carter. who will leave this evening
after having issued l,Si0 motor We
hicle licenses during the past month.
Up TO July |. 400 licenses had
been secured by machine owners OF
Tulsa county. Adding the applca-
tions handled by Charles Carter. there
are now 6,240 licensed machines here,
a number greater In the inspector 3
Judgment than the total in Oklahoma
county.
II is probable that there are sew
eral hundred automobiles in Tulsa
county that have not been licensed.
whereas in Oklahoma City there is
not single tagless car. Police resu-
lations have been enforced there to
relieve the state of responsibility in
arresting non-licensed cars.
Before leaving the inspector paid
high compliments 70 Tulsa authorities
who have assisted him during his
visit.
Il have received every courtesy
from the sheriff and his deputies, "
said Mr.. Carter. IT have been given
room in the sheriffs office, | have
had the cooperation OF the deputies
and have been materially assisted in
all my work"
Carter goes from Tulsa to Okmul-
gee, where he will spend n month or
more. He will return to Tulsa Sep
tomber to round up every machine
owner who has not applied for state
license.

Original Americans.

Application has been made by a

OF Indians for the acceptance ana
recognition Of his people as n fighting
contingent in the regular army for the
contest upon which the United States
has entered. II is an interesting evt-
dence of the extent to which the
American idea has entered and con-
trolls our diverse population.
Coupled with this offer. az stated,
Is the suggestion that a people thus
disposed should be admitted to the
privilege of citizenship. Why not ?
To bear arms In defense OF the gov
ernment IS an essential and indeed the
most imperative obligation of the citi-
zens of a republic, and when this Is
voluntarily assumed Is must go far to
assure the worth of their loyalty.
Moreover, when the matter OF race
Is considered. our Indians hold place

blood. They would be fighting Tor

WHY WOMEN SMOKE IN PUBLIC

Internal revenue taxes on cigars, cigarettes and other to-
bacco products amounted to $1O3, 90, 592, a gain of $15,OOOOOO
in the last fiscal year. The increase in the consumption of Gig
arettes was phenomenal and the official report attributes it to
the spread of the habit among women.
In New York and other large cities women smoke in public
who could not have been induced to do so five years ago. AT
that time very few hotels or restaurants would permit women
to smoke in public rooms, and saloonkeepers frowned on it in
their back rooms because a woman with a cigarette was gen
orally regarded as belonging to a class not mentioned in p-
lite society. Now smoking is fashionable and therefore respect
able and women are learning to puff tobacco smoke as fast as
ier stOmachs will permit.
A newspaper is responsible for this strange and sudden
change IN the manners and customs of American women.
Some four years ago this newspaper, which is subject to fits of
anglophobia, denounced the alleged English management of a
New York hotel for permitting women to smoke in one of it's
dining rooms. AS the hotel and it's guests were regarded as
fashionable these attacks advertised the fact that some society
women smoked cigarettes, and every other woman who could
smoke a cigarette without strangling promptly insisted on her
right to smoke wherever and whenever she pleased.
Hotel and restaurant keepers were forced by this pressure
to permit the practice and today the New York eating place that
asks women not to smoke is set down as Questionable. in con-
sequence of which women who do not smoke refuse to patron
lie 1t. That newspapers silly anti-smoking crusade was the
finest boomerang that ever hit the back of an editors head. =
