Nearly 1000 types and sizes of farm
implements which have been gradually
developed by manufacturers during
peace-time competition have been rec
commended for elimination during the
war by committees Of the National I'M
plement and Vehicle association. The
object, according to a statement by
the Council of National Defense, is to
conserve materials, labor, capital and
manufacturing facilities for war use.
In the report of the committee meet
ings to the commercial economy board
of the Council of National Defense 1t
was stated that no machinery recon-
mended for discard was believed to be
necessary to modern economical agri-
culture. The lines considered by the
committees consisted of steel and
chilled plows, grain drills, seeders, and
other tillage implements and farm cul-
tivatOrS.
Such of the recommendations as the
board deems suitable, with others frotn
different sources, are being brought to
the attention Of all imp!sment manu-
facturers and jobbers, aud as many re-
tail dealers as may be reached, through
questionnaires.

NURSES THREATENED TO
STRIKE THURSDAY NIGHT

A distressing incident occurred at
the emergency Red Cross hospital
night or two ago giving evidence
of sad lack OF patriotism and dis
regard OF duty on the part OF n
small number OF the night nurses.
At II o'clock Wednesday night
Mayor Hubbard was called to the
telephone and advised that Il OF the
nurses and nurses aids were going
to walk out and throw up their jobs
unless they were Immediately given
permission to go uptown and secure
something to eat!
After some parley the mayor de-
clded to prevent disturbance by
giving the desired permission, even
going to the extent OF phoning a
local all-night restaurant to serve
the young ladies and charge the bill
to him personally. The ~ nurses
dined we'll, as was evidenced by their
supper checks OF from $50 to csc
each that were presented to the
mayor next morning.
Thursday night the incident oc-
Cured again. the supper checks
amounting to no small item for one
man to meet. on Friday Mayor
Hubbard advised the restaurant that
the midnight suppers were not to
exceed soc each in future.
The nurses objection to eating
lunch NJ the emergency hospital diet
kitchen was that they didn't want
10 eat out Of the same dishes that
the patients did" This objection was
only made ridiculous by the fact
that the young women in charge OF
the diet kitchen scientifically ster-
ilize every utcnsil in n strong chem
zeal solution and then wash them In
boiling water and soap every time
they are used making them much
cleaner and more sanitary than any
dishes found in the average restau-
rant. The food is first-class and
nicely prepared, and the objections
are unjust and unfounded.

Ing that the Increase in the cpl

any one expected, with the precau-

To tho public:
The influenza situation In Tulsa
is far more serious than the public
are inclined TO believe, and unless
the authorities get the very fullest
cooperation Of tho people in enforc-
ing every precautionary measure
adopted nothing can prevent the dis
cnse from becoming a calamity In
this community.

been cured and many patients have
been released by attending physicians
there have been reported in the past
