FRANCES INGRAM TO
AID IN WAR CRISIS
Will Sing "Star Spangled
Banner" and Hopes 1t Will
Boost Enlistments.

Prima donpas with their fine .em
peraments and even finer voices are
coming to the front in the nation
crisis and offering to help enkindle
patriotism. Frances Ingram, the
contralto who sang in Tulsa Monday
hight, is the latest of popular artists
to contribute to the cause.
Before leaving for her next engage
ment yesterday, Miss Ingram told
friends here of her intention to sing
THE Star Spangled Banner" at every
concert on her tour. This innovation
given in the Tulsa concert with the
singer holding a large American flag
proved the greatest hit of the recital.
incidentally the artist lslieves that
the patriotic spirit aroused by such
a number will move many to offer
their services to the country and help
in army enlistments.

WORK BEGINS ON
OIL FIELD ROAD
Contractor Promises to Have
Crew of Men at Work on
New Route Today.
FAR FROM SATISFACTORY
1T Traverses Sand Stretches
and River Bottom, But Is
Best Obtainable.

Tulsa county will begin redeeming
us pledges to the residents of the oil
district who believe in good roads
when work starts this morning on
Improvement Of the keystone high
way from Fisher to Keystone. Thru
an underwriting arrangement made
ny ~ w. Sinclair and j. w McNeal
bankers. the $4,000, which it is esti-
mated will be the cost OF the con.
struction of this section of the road.
VIII be supplied. the bankers to be
reimbursed when county funds are
replenished in July.
Joe Langtry, road contractor. yes
terday signed a contract with Mr.
Sinclair and Mr.. Mcneil for the inn
mediate construction of the road
f'angtry stated that he expected to
have force of men on the work this
morning.
Altho officials of the Ozark trails
made a proposition that a ferry be
established at Sand Springs until the
old West Tulsa bridge can he moved
to that point, the question arose yes
terday as to how vehicles were to get
from the boat to the main road. on
each bank of the river there is a long
stretch of sand from where the water
touches. 1t is impossible to drive a
motor car thru this waste and per-
sons who have attempted it were
compelled to hire teams to pull them
out Fhere Is a report that a Ford
got thru the sand once, but only
after everyone but the driver got out
and pushed while the machine was
driven at full force.
Leaving Sand Springs the road
winds thru sand road that in spots
is almost impossible. The county
commissioners have agreed to spend
Sl,S00 in improving this road but this
Will be far from adequate to put the
road in first-class condition.
Also Misses New Bridge.
BY this route the Ozark trail misses
the 100000 bridge at West Tulso.
the finest structure in oklahoma To
get into the city it is necessary for
travellers to go thru river bottoms, a
public dumping ground and rendez-
Nous for squatters Several railroad
tracks also must be crossed.
The present route of the oil field
branch of the Ozark trail is far from
satisfactory, but it is the best that
could be made OF a bad situation.
