In response to a recent, urgent ap-

shipment of raw materials in addition
to the finished hospital supplies. The
word which came from Paris not long

to obtain raw materials for such sup

mand from the war front hospitals.

Chickasha Board Of Education Wants thai
Sum Available for Junior High Ad-
ditiOn and New Ward School
WILL INACCURATE
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Judge F. M. Bailey Succeeds II. 7. Belts
on School Board and is Present
When Decision is Reached

A campaign was started yesterday af-
ternoon for an $4,000 bond issue for
the extension Of the Junior High school
buildings and needed improvements in
ward schools. This decision was taken
after an interected discussion between
members of the board Of education and
superintendent William F. Ramey in
which the new school trustee. Judge
r. M. Bailey, took part.
Judge Bailey had been appointed as
successor to Harry T. Bettis who re-
Gently died and he entered Immediately
upon his duties.
An active campaign will be launched
in order that no greater delay than is
necessary be brooked in the construc-
tion of the required additional wing to
the Junior High The proposed bond
issue will also. cover the erection Of
d ward school Ia the southwest part
Of the city and the Improvement Of
the heating plants IN the old ward
schools.
All members Of the board were pres
ent when this important step was de-
cided upon.
"As soon as the necessary prelimi-
naries are arranged an election will be
called said Superintendent Ramey
last night. "This was the only thing
to do under the circumstances as the
great overflow Of children of scholas-
tic ages have to be accommodated and
present quarters are already made
suate. This will prevent the further
crowding Of the schools and will pre-
pare for further increases In enroll
ment."

Spain and Switzerland, However, Will
Probably Not Accede TO Wilson's Sug-
gestiOns Concerning Neuira's
SENATOR WORKS STANDS
OPPOSED TO POLICY
Declares U. S. Has Hot Been Neutral, Has
Sided With England and Should Have
Greater Cause for War

BY United Press.
Washington, Feb. Spain and
Switzerland will probably not ,rcede
to President Wilson's suggestion that
all neutrals sever diplomatic relations
with Germany, according to reliable
information here.
The course of these two nations will
probably be based on the fact that they
are serving respectively the diplomatic
interests of America and Germany.
Ambassador Riano indicated today
that Spain would probably by tomor-
row give some indication as to her po-
sition but that it was doubtful wheth-
er this would be formal answer to
the presidents formal suggestions to
neutrals. Switzerland will likely take
this same course as, Spain.
The likelihood Of the Spanish rejec-
tion Of Wilson's suggestion is height
ened by the fact that Spain apparent
ly has been anxious recently to play a
larger part in the ultimate peace ma
neuyers.

FOR
SCHOOLSIS
COMPLETE
Superintendent Ramey However Desires to
Get Name Of Any Child or Person
Who Has Been Overlooked

Enumerators have completed the
work of compiling the school census
for Chickasha but the lists will not be
closed until further effort is made
to secure names of any persons who
might have been overlooked by the
enumerators, Therefore, while all re-
ports have been turned in no action on
them will be taken for sevaral days in
order that anyone knowing Of persons
of scholastic age, that is between the
ages Of and 21 years, whose names
have not been entered viii confer a
great favor on the school board and on
Superintendent Ramey by telephoning
such information to the superintendent
of public schools. As the per capita
payments extend to all schoIastics in
Chickasha every additional name
means that much more money availa-
BILE to the city school fund and the
board needs every dollar it can get
hold Of to meet prevailing conditions.
Therefore the public is urgently re-
quested te evpplement this list by sup
yi-g the names of any persons who
may not have been reached by enumer-
ators.

EASY RULES FOR
PUNCTUATION
New Universities Dictionary Presents
Subject InsIrucliyely

One Of the first things that must be
learned by the young man or woman
who sets out to- become a thoroughly
stenographer is the proper
use of punctuation. Morris w. Croll,
Phi. d., of the Department Of English,
Princeton University, has contributed
an interesting and highly instructive
chapter on this subject in the New
Universities Dictionary being offered
to the readers Of this paper.
Professor Croll explains how the
number of punctuation marks in com
mon use has gradually increased with
the development Of the art of printing
Through the use OF these signs the
meaning Of printed or written dis
course is rendered clearer to the eye OF
the reader. How and when to use
each of the twelve marks now employ
ed is fully explained by Professor CroI
and the rules he lays down can se
easily learned.
The remarkable success which has
attended this dictionary offer shows
that the people of this city appreciate
the opportunity given them to secure
at nominal cost such valuable edu
cational work
