with which athletic leaders of the

For track and field sports several
suggestions have been made Orig
inaliy the annual interscholastic track
and field meet conducted 10y the Uni
versity of oklahoma was considered
to determine definitely the best track
and field individuals and teams in
Oklahoma. OF recent years. however
the A. & NJ. college and some four or
five normal and UNCONVENTIONAL
schools have been staging field meets
in which better records occasionally
have been made than those estab-
lished in the Norman meet. One Of
the suggestions yesterday was the es-
tablishment of another official state
track and field meet. perhaps Mt
Oklahoma city. 1nasmuch as the
University of Oklahoma and the Okla
homa A. n NJ. college, as well as some
OF the other schools, insist upon con-
tinuing their meets for advertising
purposes it was pointed out that this
might be one too many. Therefore
II was proposed that individual awards
should be given the ones making the
best time or the best record during
the season 1t was suggested that II
this plan should be accepted the COM
mission would appoint the officials so
as to insure uniformity in judgments
and timing.

To establish military training
in the schools, several great OBJ
staclos must be overcome. In the
first place, the war has taken
even from such institutions as the
A. e. NJ. college all military In
structors, and unless instructors
can be secured from the officers
reserve training camps the
schools would be up against an al
most insurmountable obstruction.
Next comes the question of equip
ment. There would he no way
to secure regulation army rifles
with every gun needed In Europe.
1t was suggested that wooden
guns could be procured for drill
ing purposes and for marksman-
ship competitions. .22 calibre
rifles would he more desirable
than heavy army guns.

His prediction is based on the vastly
improved form of American players
which, to Ward, was the feature of the
1915 golf season. Ifilthis improve
mept in. playing form continues, says
the. veteran, American golfers as a
class should at least be the equal, If
not the superiors, of the English and
Scotch Players. e..
"What surprised me most" said
Ward, "was the improved playing style
Of the majority of golfers. 1t was only
a short time ago that about one golfer
in ten. played in correct form. This
season / would say that seven out of
ten knew the proper way to play their
clubs, Those showing the best form
were the young fellows. z"
"This means that most Of the pres
ent stars who helped to make the sport
so popular win be compelled to stand
aside. With the proper instruction Of
our young players l should say that
within ten years our golfers will be
the best in the wOrld.' >a

British Government Appreciates
Efforts Put Forth by
GentIeT Sex.
ARE NO LONGER DOMESTICS
Scarcely a Trade But What Has Its
Female Employees - They Are
Even Replacing Men In Build.
ing, Mining and Quarrying.

London.-The far-reaching effect on
the industrial and commercial situa-
ton caused by the formation of an
army of almost five million men can
not be underestimated, and the gov
ernment was not long in realizing the
vital Importance Of maintaining the
output of articles required for the war
and export trade. The wonderful ef-
forts accomplished by the women Of
Great Britain in taking the places Of
men who have Joined the colors are
known in q general way to the Ameri-
can public, but 1t is impossible, with
out living in England, to form an ac-
curate impression Of the extent to
which the women have answered the
call.
Special efforts are now being made
by the British government to give to
the world a more adequate knowledge
Of the success attained by women in
nearly adj branches of mems work.
According to official statistics which
have just been issued by the war office
$4,000 women and girls have stepped
forward to take the places of men in
various occupations. This figure does
not include domestic service or en-
ployment in the millinery or dress
making trade, nor does it comprise the
women who have taken so active a
part in Red Cross work since the be-
ginning of the war. The latter alone
include more than 27000.
Women MunltlOn Workers.
A very large proportion of the total
mentioned is, of course, due to the ad-
vent of the woman munltion worker,
and while 1t Is quite true that many
of these women are not, strictly speak
ing, taking the places Of men, 1t is
nevertheless an undeniable fact that
they are doing what before the war
was regarded as strictly mems work.
MunitiOn work, however, is only part
Of women's industrial activity.
A high authority Of the British gov.
ernment, to whom the Sun is indebted
for these facts, is authority for the
statement that there are very few In
dustrIes or occupations in which the
number Of women has not increased
There are few In which some direct
substitution of female for male labor
has not taken place. The chief In

ASK LONGER TENNIS SEASON
Only TriAe over Three Months Of Conn
petition Out Of Doors-PIayers
Want More Time.

Lawn tennis has gradually attracted
such an army of devotees that there
has followed the real desires on the
part of the players to prolOng the sea-
son out Of doors.
So far as the records of several
years show for anything, there is az
best only trlfle more than three
months Of competition on turf and clay
surfaces before the changeable wealth
er causes the wielders of the racquet
to seek the enjoyment Of the indoor
game on the board courts Of the arm
orles. This Immediately limits the
amount Of playing time and the num-
Der Of players. 1t has not been the
most satisfactory arrangement for
those ardently devoted to the sport, so
that gradually there has been some ex-
perimenting as to ways and means by
which the outdoor season might be
heightened so as to offer fair sport for
the followers of the courts.
It has been realized for some time
that earth courts, even when in perfect
condition, do not solve the problem.
The frost and the rains of the autumn
soon cause the clay surfaces to be un-
satisfactory. What the frost and rain
leave undone the brisk autumnaI
breezes accomplish, especially when
the playing surfaces have been llber4
ally sanded. The result has been I'd

ers to court playing surfaces Of boards

AirpIanes and Motorcycles.
In addition to the armOred cars,
most Of the columns are outftted with
airplanes and a cycllst corps, which
also have rendered invaluable service.
The Indian mountain batteries, which
are worked with incredible speed and
accuracy by their crews, are the ad-
miratiOn Of the army.
Little by little the entire compile
ment Of the German cruiser Koenigs-
berg, destroyed by Admiral Klng-Hall
in the Ruff river on July II, 1915, is
being killed or captured. Many have
been taken in the northern operations,
and reports from General Northey,
whose columns are closing in from the
south, show that in the advance on
and capture Of Malangall a petty Of
ficer and four sailors were taken, to-
gether with a 4.2-inCh field howitzer
that had been worked by gunners from

en- employed are domestic service and
employment in small dressmaklng
workrooms.
Other important industries which
show numerical decline are laundry
work, dressmaking, confectionery,
printing and bOOkbindlng, linen, lace
and silk, but in oil these groups some
women are directly replacing men, and
in many individual firms in these and
other groups a decline in the number
Of women simply means that some Of
the women have left to go to mems
work and have not been replaced.
In Every Trade.
Women are directly replacing men
(only in comparatively small numbers)
even In building, mining and quarry
ing. They are replacing them in con-
siderable number in most of the metal
industries, though not on the main
processes in iron and steel works. In
the cotton trade no less than 25,000
females are returned as directly re-
placing males, though In other textile
industries Except hosiery progress
has been less marked.
In the food trades there have been
very interesting cases Of substitution.
In grain milling the number of women
and girls employed has risen since
July, 1914, from 1000 to 5000; In
sugar refining, from 1000 to 1000, and
in brewing, from 5000 to $4,000; the
increase in these trades is almost en-
tlrely due to the direct replacement Of
men by women.
Women are also doing mems work to
an appreciable degree in tanning and
leather working, sawmilllng and wood
working, glass, china, earthenware and
rubber.
One Of the most striking new devel-
opments is the introduction Of women
clerks into banks and financial houses
In agriculture the process Of substi.
tuition made slow progress during the
first 18 months of the war, but an &C.
celeration is now noticeable. Besides
the regular women workers there is O
large increase in the number of fruit
pickers, harvesters and other casuals
Railway employment furnishes @
particularly interesting series Of ex
periments in woman labor. Before the
war the British railway companies on
ly employed about 1000 women
clerks, cleaners, attendants, etc. Ap
proximately $4,000 are now employed
The kind and amount of substitution
carried out varies from one railway
company to another. One has In
creased the number Of its womeE
clerks from 70 to 1925, and employs
also IS women ticket collectors, 1St
carriage cleaners, 55 engine cleaners
and Asa pOrters. Another, with mel
ther women ticket collectors nor port
ers, has 490 women carriage cleaners
475 engine cleaners, 226 labOrers ii

borers. Yet another, with no wOmeI

Doctor Quigley startled society last
summer by organizing a phalanx Of
barefoOted golf players. He got his
friends out to the various field and
country clubs and had them chasing
golf balls bNrefooted, digging their
toes into the dewy grass and mud as
they ran.
They got results too. They felt
better. Their feet felt easier.
