COMMITTEE TO HANDLED
XMAS SOLDIER PACKS
Council of Defense Names
Five Persons to Take
Charge of Work.

The council of defense yesterday
appointed a committee of five to take
charge OF the work of assembling and
shipping Christmas packages to SOL
diers. Their headquarters will be the
Navy league building on Liberty
square. They will wrap presents,
weigh them, place the proper postage,
properly address them and ship them
In good shape to the soldier-con-
signees. The committee probably will
begin work Immediately.
The persons who will have charge
Of this important task are Mesdames
c. f. Lahman, Lilah ID. Lindsay and
Walter Duckett and Messrs. Goey and
Gibbons.
All persons desiring to forward
packages to soldiers in this country
should place them in the hands Of
this committee.
The council yesterday accepted bids
on uniforms and equipment for the
Tulsa Home Guards. Representatives
Of several firms were present. The
uniforms will be Of olive drab and
all-wool. They will consist Of trousers.
blouse, hat, shirt and leggings To
outfit the entire two hundred men,
bers of the Home Guards will entail
an expenditure of about $1,000. In
addition to this approximately $4,000
will be spent for rifles and ammuni-
ton. 1t is probable that Winchester
rifles will be used exclusively.
1t has not been decided whether
the funds will be obtained by private
su descriptions or thru the war budget
campaign to be held next Wednesday.

HE DIDN'T CARE A WHOOP.
Embryonic General Gives Hose De-
parmcnt Foreman Tip.

Early yesterday morning two Of the
nocturnal hosemen of the street clean
ing department were engaged in wet
ting down the pavement near the cor
ner of Forty-fifth street and Fifth
avenue. They were enjoying the work
as usual wetting no one and soaring
everyone, when foreman came
strolling along and looked them over.
A small group waiting for the north
bound buses hoped that the happy
soakers were about to be scolded, and
the hope was gratiffed.
"Well, WE'LL called the forman tes-

A PICTORIAL REVIEW
OF TULSA ATTEMPTED
First Time in History That
City Will Get it's Dues in
Photography.

A complete pictorial review of Tulsa
has never been printed in any form.
There are many reasons for this, prin-
cipal of which is that the town Is
growing so rapidly that the lightning
changing skyline Of one day would be
antiuuated and out of date before the
picture could be made for publication.
In the special edition OF The World.
II Is the intention to print panoramic
photograph of the skyline Of Tulsa. to-
gether with views of all the principal
streets and residential sections, parks,
etc. There have been more than q
thousand beautiful homes of the most
modern architecture put up in Tulsa
since an edition has been published
giving these pictures. 1t Is our 1nten-
ton to publish a section OF residences
containing several pages of photo
graphs of the beautiful homes Of
Tulsa.
Every view in this section will be
a new one, never before published.
We have engaged special photogra-
pliers for this work, Mr.. Garland B.
Hale, of the firm of Hale & Hiatt, re-
puted to be the best photographer In
the state, who have just located In
Tulsa. Mr.. Hale will personally take
all photographs, and interview the
owners of the homes. II you want to
CO. operate in getting out the biggest
and best edition of the highest class
known to Photographic and printers
art-something that every Tulsan Will
take pride in sending to their friends
assist Mr.. Hale when he calls upon
you.
Those who desire TO have their resi-
dences appear in this great section
will assist materially by calling The
World office, and Mr.. Hale will make
an appointment to photograph your
residence.
Every home owner in Tulsa should
aid in this enterprise.

WIRELESS BIG AID IN WAR
Mobile Outfit That the Russians
Found Very Useful.

An interesting description Is given
by q Russian officer of one OF the
numerous little mobile field wireless
outfits operating near the front. The
whole wireless station can be un-
loaded from its auto truck, rigged
up and be ready for work in twenty
minutes. The seventy-foot masts
are hollow and made in sections
which are screwed together when
taken off the truck.
Tho simple peasant soldiers, mary
Of whom come from remote villag ~
where wireless has never been heard
Of are greatly fascinated by the sta
ton and like to stand around when
they can get chance to watch the
flashing Of the spark and listen to
its song. TT sounds like butter in
frying pan." they say. They have
coined nickname for the men in
the wireless crew. which as near as
possible in English, Is "sparkers" or
1.-The spark men,"
Normally the station is quiet. In
the little cabin, canvas walled and
canvas rooted. sits an operator with
a telephone cap clamped to his head,
always waiting for instructions from
1.-The line," which is another name
the Russians have for the trenches.
Often 1t Is absolutely quiet outside
in the starry night around the sta
ton. Not q shot breaks the still
ness. But thru the operators phone
comes the uproar Of rifle and ma
chine guns, and the bombardments
of the heavy batteries, for messages
are phoned to him for transmission
from dugouts right up on the firing
line of the front, twenty or thirty
miles away.
These little stations catch the en-
tentes daily communications, and
those of the German and Austrian
general staffs. They come at defin-
lite times. Sometimes one sees the
operator hurriedly finishing meal
or refusing a third glass Of tea. He
explains that French headquarters
will want to talk with him in a few
minutes. And. sure enough. in q
few minutes along comes Frances
rommunique. 1t is odd to stand a
little way off and, glancing at the
forlorn canvas hut and its two sticks,
lost in the drifted SHOWS, with no
other signs of life in sight. hear the
nerial voices of all Europe.
Officers visiting the station make
point of getting the right time.
The operator nightly sets his watch
by the midnight time signal flung
nut by the Eiffel Tower in Paris
Wireless Age.

ABOUT ANIMATED CARTOONS
Small Part Played by Artists In the
Production of the Films.

The elaborate technique required to
make the Katzenjammer Kids, Gertie,
the Family Dinosaur, Colonel HeeZa
Liar and other creations OF the car
toonist's pen go thru their amusing
stunts on the screen, is the subject of
an article by Homer Croy in Every
body's for September.
when an animated series is COM
pleted there are something like two
thousand drawings on calendered pa
per about the size of typewriter sheets.
Each sheet Is numbered. clear thru
the two thousand, and then turned
over to the photographer, who works
with his camera suspended over his
drawings instead Of set on tripod.
when 1t is understood how COM
plicated the process is, and how, even
with the most elaborate backgrounds,
two thousand drawings are required
to make five hundred feet of film.
then one understands better the diff
ference between an originating and an
animating artist and why Bud Fisher
never makes a single one Of the film
cartoons that bear his name. Nor does
Rube Goldberg or Tom Powers. II
they did we'd see about elk Of their
film a year instead of one week.
1.-THE artist conceives the funny stu
alton, or possibly only the character
and the animator does the rest. In
fact, an artist. after having conceived
the character, often doesn't know
what u being drawn. Bud Fisher has
never been in the studio where his
Mutt and Jeff films are being made.
A man whom the public knows a great
deal less about gives us our weekly
Mutt and Jeff. He is Raoul Barre.
"But Mr.. Barre doesn't do It alone
not at the rate of five hundred feet
week. Not by some four hundred
and eighty-odd feet. He has sixty
artists working for him, all giving us
Mutt and jeff. One man may make
q leg, another an arm, and third a
coat. Mutt and Jeff is the weekly
combination of the artistic efforts OF
sixty people"

NO FAVORITES PLAYED
IN CONTRACT AWARDS
All Responsible Bidders Are
Given Consideration by
Commissioners.

In some unexplained manner, the
impression has gone out from Tulsa
that there were some paving COM
panies who could not expect to bid
with success against companies who
have been fortunate in securing the
majority Of the bids for paving work
in Tulsa.
In statement made yesterday
morning in commissioners meeting II
was declared that certain paving COM
panies had been "bld" that they
could not hope to compete with
others, and If they did bid, 1t would
be necessary to name a certain price.
"If such a condition did exist" de-
clared one of the commissioners. 'it
is time that every paving company
realized that the bids for paving in
Tulsa are open to the world and that
no one company can count itself as a
favorite against another. II might
not be a bad thing If in the future
we refused to accept the bids of some
of these self-styled 'favorites' and
show them that neither they nor their
henchmen can provide royal way
for them to secure contracts"
Let the paving companies know,
q commissioner declared in presenting
the matter to his colleagues, that
every company has q fair chance. and
that the city will let the contract to
the lowest and best bidder-with no
favorites and looking always to the
best interest of the city,"
Unless a larger field Of bidders Is
secured for additional contracts which
are TO be awarded, it is probable that
the city commissioners will take it to
indicate that a few companies and
their hackers are trying to maintain
that "outsiders" cannot get in, and as
n result the entire contracts will be
held up, at least until a representa-
tive group Of bidders can be pro.
cured.

Whats in q Name?

William williams hated nicknames.
He used to say that most fine given
names were ruined by abbreviation,
which was a sip and a shame.
The williams family. in the course
of time. was blessed with five chill
dren. all boys. The eldest was named
after the father, william. OF course,
that could be shortened to "Will" or
enfeebled to "Willie'-but wait! A
second son came and was christened
willard. "Aha!" chuckled Mr.. Will
iiams. "Now everybody win have to
speak the full name OF each OF these
boys In order to distinguish them"
In pursuance OF this scheme the
next three sons were named Wilbert,
Wilfred and Wilmont.
They are all big boys now. And
they are respectively known to their
intimates as Bill. Skinny, Butch,
Chuck and Kid.-Chicago Herald.

MADE FUN OF S. P. LANGLEY
Pioneer OF Aerial Navigation Was
Laughed at by the World.

Recently the congress of the United
States made an appropriation to de-
velop the fighting flying series of the
United States army and navy. 1t was
only few years ago that congress re-
fused seriously to consider a bill to
make possible intelligent investigation
and experimentation along the aerial
service lines.
If Samuel p. Langley were alive he
would be enjoying his hour of tri-
umph. 1t was Langley who was the
pioneer of mechanical aerial naviga-
ton. 1t was he who made the first
heavier-than-a air machine that would
fly. Little honor was paid to him
while he was living, but now when
1t is too late for the inventor to feel
the sense of qualification and tri-
umph. all honor is given him. 1t was
just one year before the present war
broke out, a war which has seen a
wonderful development of the science
of flying, that recognition was given
to the work of Samuel Pierpont Lang
ley in "the field of the air."
Langley was laughed at by the
world but he kept his faith and his
courage, both being sustained by the
friendship and the belief in him and
his work of few scientists who knew
that it was the worlds custom to
sneer or to laugh when some brave
one was trying to accomplish the
seemingly impossible.
In the year 1913 leading American
scientists met in the city of Washing
ton to witness the unveiling of a
bronze tablet in the Smithsonian insti-
tuition to commemorate Langley's
years Of labor and study to make pos
sible navigation OF the air by man.
Langley died just before completed
nirplane carrying a passenger made
Its first successful flight. The prin-
r.iples which he had laid down had
proved their soundness, and today
honor is given his memory as that of
The practical pioneer in the field Of
aviation.

''GREP CAP BANDIT"
 ENTERS GUILTY PLEA
 GETSLONG SENTENCE
Roy Emerson, Youth Who Staged Many Robberies in Bisbee and Vicinity, Must
 Serve Five to Twenty Years

TOMBSTONE Ariz., Mar 21.-Roy Emerson, the .'grey-cap bandit" who was plying his trade as highway robber in Bisbee and vicinity a few months ago, had a change of heart yesterday morning and withdrew his plea of not guilty and entered one of guilty. The court asked the circum- stances regarding his arrest and the officers in attendance made a state ment of his operations and there was presented to the court the lot of booty that he had secured from his victims. The diagram of the place where the articles were buried, together with the note asking for the trusty to bring in some pepper, were also shown to the court When asked by the court if he had anything to say, he stated that he was out of work. got started in that line of business and that he was fascinated with it and could not stop.
 He was asked if he had ever been in trouble before, and replied Moth ing serious" He was then asked by the county attorney of it was not a fact that he was a fugitive from jus tice not only from Indiana, but from the state of Washington. To this he replied, ''I have nothing to say He was then sentenced to serve a term of not less than five years nor more than twenty years in the penitentiary at Florence.
 While being taken to and from the jail to the court room Emerson was closely guarded so that he could have no chance of making his escape. as Sheriff Wheeler intends to see that he is placed behind the bars at Flor ence. His partner in the last hOldup, Harvey Kilby, is to be tried next week for his connection with the hold up and robbery of two musicians from Brewery Gulch.

CONDITIONS OF RED
 MEN IN THIS STATE
 TO BE INVESTIGATED
Members of Committee on in- dian Affairs Leave Washing ton to Visit Many Indian Reservations of Country.

The members of the committee on Indian Affairs of the House Of Repre- sentatives who were elected to the 65th Congress recently departed from Washington on tour of investigation which will include most of the Indian reservations in the southern and south western states. The condition of the Seminole Indians in Florida will first be looked into. and then the Choctaws of Mississippi will be looked over. The committee will then proceed to Oklahoma where the large and varied interests of the Indians of the state will receive attention.
 After leaving Oklahoma the next stop will be in Arizona, where the last week in March will be spent in travelling over the various reserva- tiOns. Congressman Carl Hayden, who tour, is particularly anxious to have a number Of Indian irrigation projects in this state carefully investigated.
 The following members of Congress will visit Arizona:
 Hon. Charles D. Carter. Of Okla homa; Hon. Philip P. Campbell, of Kansas; Hon. Carl Hayden, of Ari- zona; Hon. Patrick D. Norton, of North Dakota; Hon. John N. Tillman, of Arkansas; Hon. Stephen W. Demp. sey..of New York; Hon. Harry L. Gan dy, of South Dakota; Hon. Franklin F. Ellsworth, of Minnesota; Hon. Roy al c. Johnson, of South Dakota; Hon. Homer P. Snyder, of New York.
 In addition to the members of the committee the party includes Mir. Paul N. Humphrey, clerk of the committee on Indian affairs, and MT. H. B. Smith. reporter.
 It was hoped that more time could be spent by the committee in obtain ing first hand information about the conditions in the Indian country but the special session of Congress which will convene in April has compelled them to shorten their itinerary.
