FUNDS PoR DETENTION CAMP


An emergency has arisen In Tulsa
and there are no funds 20 take care
OF the expense incident thereto. II
lie another one Of those emergencies
which the trainers Of our charter
and OF our state laws did not fone-
see. and therefore, for a year. at
least. thd,clty ana osunty,oit seems.
will have 60 depend upon the con-
tributlons Of our liberal and public
spirited citizens TO provide the nee
essary funds In order that the much
desired results may be accomplished.
We have reference to the proposed
establishment Of detention camp
for those afflicted with social dis
eases. The city has no funds for
such purpose and the county is In the
same situation. To meet this omcr-
Kency, funds must be provided by
popular subscription. We all know
that this will be tax upon few
for the good Of all, and this addi-
tional tax will naturally fall most
heavily upon those citizens upon
whom we depend 10 subscribe Tulsa'a
quota for the approaching Liberty
loan campaign and for other public
purposes
Lawyers tell us there IL no other
way TO provide the funds except by
a bond issue. or until the excise board
a year hence nay allow a sufficleEt
tax levy to he made.
The need OF a detention camp has
grown out Of tho experience OF the
war department with men IN train
inE camps. The results have been
astounding. The percentage OF In
fected boys has been beyond belief
and this condition has resulted In a
most disastrous loss OF man power,
time and money The men arc not
nj for training untll they undergo a
course ot treatment IN the camp
hospitals. Just now Tulsa Il IN tho
limellght because Of ths present
cleanup Instituted hy government
agents But the same situation has
been found all ever. the country
one town. as bad as another. II Il
said that a very large percentage Of
the white boys from every town are
infected and that M least 80 per
cent Of the colored boys are diseased
A detention camp Is nothing moro

women may ho cured They cannot
be held longer undor existing laws,
and when discharged tho women ara
free TO again ply their trade and
once more become infected II Is llko
going around In circles There should
he some means ofinterning them un-
IN after the war. but whatever laws
we have seem to have been con
structed 20 afford temporary relief
only. OF course, tho temporary re-
lief is better than mono at all some
aay drive them out Of town. This
means they win he thrown upon
other communities. and that others
will como 20 take their places.
AZ a war problem permanent
detention camp Is the only solution,
and man IN HIS short-sghted wis
dom has failed TO provide the means
OF maintenance.

10 pupils to find the presidents name
used without a handle.
Hard and fast rules In matters OF
good taste are difficult 10 establish. In
general the title is appropriately used
with the presidents name; In general,
but not always. The omission OF the
title Is not disrespectful; on the con-
trary, the more distinguished the man,
the more the omission OF the title Is
sanctioned by good usage. We speak

When reference is made to we'll

BAN RAISED.
Alpha Board Of Health kodiiies Reg
ulations in Some Ways.

A meeting of the Alpha village
board OF health was held at the village
hall last Thursday evening at which
II was decided TO change the quaran-
tine regulations so that they will be
less stringent in some ways, but more
severe in others.
The prohibition on yisitations be-
tween towns (other than Crystal
Falls) and Alpha was taken off and in
its, place strict quarantine Of resi-
dences was put into effect so that in
mates from homes where there is a
case of the flu will not be allowed to
leave the premises and mlngle with
other people in the village.
Ample provision was made for the
removal OF the Unaffected, but they
must stay away while the property Is
under quarantine.
All public places must stop lettering
and all tables and chairs must be re-
moved from ice cream parlors and
candy stores.
In general there is more freedom
of action for general business pur-
poses than under the old regulations

THE EPIDEMIC IN ALPHA.

A large number OF sick people is
reported in the past week.
Incident with the mild, misty wealth

pie throughout the village became Ill.
The malady Is akin to the severe la
grippe epidemic that swept this com
munity the early spring OF the pres
ent year and is generally regarded
more as grippe than influenza, the
symptoms Of the two being the same
with the exception that many small
children were afflicted from tho star
by the present epidemic.

The money juggler called at the Of

that his only son was suffering from
diphtheria. The doctor was solicitous
but assured the financler that with the
care given In the hospital to which
the boy had been taken he would pull
through nicely. "Of course" said the
medico, mo one Is safe when that
terrible disease Is around"
But" said the father, "the boy con-
fessed TO me that he Is sure he caught
the disease from the parlor maid
whom he had kissed"
"Well, young people are certainly

TO THE CHILDREN.

While schools are closed children
are not TO gather on the streets. They
are asked to remain near home, play
ing out doors all they will. and the
more the better.
II Is because OF the prevalence Of
the present epidemic among children
that these measures are urged
