Like the aims of every department

in highway engineering has been re-
vised to meet the needs Of war.
Properly built roads will answer
wars emergencies" reads a letter sent
out by r. C. Terrell, professor Of high
way engineering in the university.
The greater demand from the army of
men competent to construct good roads,
their strategic value in war and their
permanent value TO agricultural com
munities in times of peace make it i'm
perative that at least portion Of our
young men train themselves to serve in
the building and maintenance of these
arteries of commerce"
Government Movies Coming.
Government motion pictures of road
building will be shown as a part of
the course and a representative of the
Oklahoma state highway department
will attend every days session to dis
cuss the administration Of road laws
and kindred subjects. Many noted au-
thorlties on road building and road
materials will assist in teaching the
course. County engineers, county COM

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it Is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved 1t in every
way. Just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real BMley tobacco. grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome. but the favor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.-Adv.

GIVE FRANK SLAWN
PRAISE AS SOLDIER
Famous Prize Fighter Wars Most
Remarkable Private.
Volunteered at Beginning of War and
When Turned Down on Account OF
Age Recruited Own Army
Refused Commission.

Frank Slavin is back in Canada for
short rest after nearly three years or
fighting on the battle lines in France.
There is material for a score of adj
venture stories in the career of Slavin.
Altogether he Is the most remark
able private soldier of the great war.
Slavin was born in Maitland, N. S.
w., the birthplace of that more remark
able great Australian fighter, Les
Darcy, on January 5, 1862
When he was twenty-five years old
he became a professional prize fighter,
fighting under London prize-ring rules
and defeating many good men in Aus
tralia. He fought Peter Jackson in
barroom in Sydney and was beaten.
But he Knocked out Tom Burke for the
championship of Queensland and a
f400 purse.
In 1887 he came to America, fought
several good battles and went to Eng
land, where he fought Jem Smith for
the championship of England at
Bruges, Belgium. Slavin was beating
Smith when a gang of Smith hackers
broke down the ring and attacked
Slavin with clubs and brass knuckles.
The fight was called "draw," but the
purse was afterward paid to Slayin.
He knocked out Joe McAuliffe, the
Mission Giant, in two rounds In Lon
don, returned to America and beat
Jake Kilrain in nine rounds in HOBO
ken, went back to England and was
knocked out by Peter Jackson after
stubborn fight, fighting for purse OF
$4,000.
Jim Hall knocked Slavin out, and
then Slavin knocked out the Coffee
Cooler and several other good men.
Returning to America, Slayin went
up to Alaska In the big gold rush and
became mining engineer.
When the great war started Slavin
at once volunteered, but was turned
down because of his age. although he
was a remarkably strong and hardy
man, and accustomed to all the hard
ships Of the Arctic. He refused to stay
out of the war, and managed to enlist
up in the Yukon. Within month
Slavin recruited 800 men for his bat
TALON, the Sixty-seventh, of Vancou-
yer. He was offered commission,
but refused it saying that he preferred
to stay in the ranks with the men he
had enlisted Crossing to England most
of the men in the Sixty-seventh were
transferred to the Fourth Pioneers.
Probably Frank Slavin will insist on
going back to the front. He is the
kind Of a man who won't be kept away
from the fighting.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR 1918
Outdoor Sports Begin Season With
Better Outlook Than Last Year
Panic Worn off.

Outdoor sports will begin the 1918
season with brighter prospects than
they saw at the close of the 1917 sea-
son. The first panic of warfare has
worn off. cool heads are dominating
the athletic councils and both manag-
ers and athletes are realizing that their
part In the national life is an impor-
tant one. Adjustments are being made
in every branch of sport, but not adj
justments that will interfere with the
games. Probably there will be no
sport during the coming season that
will experience an extraordinary boom,
but there will likewise be no slump
great enough to kill any branch of ath-
letics, providing that particular sport
adjusts itself to war conditions and
follows safe-and-sane policy.
