UP ON BELGIUM
He Can Talk TO Mission Now
About Brussels Sprouts,


When in Tulsa do as the Belgian,
do" Is the motto OF the minute for
Governor Williams. He is getting ready
to sling all kinds Of Belgian lingo
when he meets the Belgium mission
at Tulsa Saturday.
For days, the desk OF Joe O'Brien.
the governors secretary, has been laden
with books Of Belgian lore and history.
Public and private libraries were ran
sacked in order that the governor
might cram for the reception. Now
the governor feels fully qualified TO
talk OF Brussels carpets, Brugcs lace,
the reign Of Chsrlemagne, the Belgian
revolt or the framing of the constitu-
tion.
