DIVIDING TOBACCO WITH THE SOLDIERS

ONE MAN in this city has been in the habit Of Smok
ing ten cigars a day at a cost OF 50 cents. He has
changed his method. Now he smokes a pipe as the main
performance, with an occasional nickel cigar as a side
event.
So, his personal expenses for smoking now are . cents
q day. But he doesn't propose to spend any less for to
bacco than formerly. The only difference is that It is
his intention TO donate 25 cents each day for tobacco for
his soldier friends in France.
Here is an example OF sacrifice worth initiating Once
IN a while we'll find a man who is too selfish to give up
his pc. smoking to divide with the other fellow. But that
kind are scarce, il is hoped. The ono who stays at home
and enjoys comforts, including the after dinner cigar and
the pipe just before retiring to bed, is reminded right
now that he owes something TO the one who goes to the
front.
Twenty five cents will send a package of tobacco to
some soldier in France, But the prosperous citizen who
smokes will not stop al the insignificant two bits. He
knows the comfort that tobacco brings, so VIC can look
for him to come in with a liberal subscription. There is
no substitute for tobacco.

PUBLIC POOLS.

THERE would not be much use 10 build a free swimming
1 pool in thi, city right now. Tor We would have diff.
Guilty in getting the water to flood the pool more than
ankle deep But carly next wear our big new dam will
be completed and then Oklahoma City must rise to the
OCCASION and build A group Of public swimming pools.
A movement OF this kind would be in harmony with the
establishment Of playground, which will claim more Of
our attention as soon as We can legally hold an election and
vote the money for equipment and maintenance. And
swimming pools are a benefit to the health Of the com
muuity, especially 10 those persons whose bathing facil-
itic, are limited.
There is no good reason for Oklahoma City neglect
ing such an important department Of development as the
free bathing pools. The Romans caused them to be in
use. Are VIC IN Oklahoma to take second place TO a nation
