WILSON TO HAVE
AID Of LEADERS
To Call Both Republicans
and Democrats Into a Sc
ries of Conferences
TAKE UP PHASES OF
WAR LEGISLATION
Impending Bill to Empower President
to Consolidate Executive Department
Functions One of the First Subjects
to Come Up.

WASHINGTON, Feb 12-President
Wilson will begin a series of conferences
with congressional leaders-both Re
publicanS and Democrats on all the
phases OF war legislation. For the
first time members of both parties are to
be taken into the White House councils
in the consideration of war legislation
and in this way the administration ex-
poets to smooth out some of the Difficult
ties which confront the war program.
The impending bill to empower the
President to consolidate executive depart
ment functions and redistribute work
among them, now opposed by the Repub-
licans, will be one Of the first subjects tc
come up. Some of the Democrats do not
favor Il. The bill, however, is the ad
ministration's counter proposal to the
senate military committees bill to ere
ate a super war cabinet and director ot
munitions. The President is represented
as being unalterably opposed to the com
mittee plan
The purpose OF the conferences is to al
rive at some compromise on this sub
ject first, but there is every indication
| that they will be carried on Throughout
the war. The Presidents move Is re
| gurded as the first step toward taking
members OF both parties into his conf
| dence and toward calling the Republican
/ actively into the war councils

COURTESY BEGINS AT HOME

something from Harry Emerson Fosdicks recent book
"The Challenge the Present Crisis which must all admit
to be true:
What conditions necessarily precede the most distressing con-
ncs that mankind now Are they not the conditions OF ill.,
innate relationship For this the worst of all fights
family fight can't have hearbreaking quarrel with total
stranger there points contact enough But one can have
dour time his family The very relationships that offer most
gracious opportunities for satisfaction peace and sedeveopmen
are relationships that offer the most exaseratng chance
for misunderstanding, discord and collision"
This being the is it not douby necessary for us to develop
the art living with Others especially with nimates We have
seen men peonied galany the of other wo
men, forget that the of their own families are
not more quite deserving of their attentions There are
brothers who nicer to other fellows sisters than to their own
Surely close relationships deicaey balanced we ought
to be Just little considerable and thoughtful of the home folks
than to others
How often the happiness of home mared because we are
lacking geneness mother whose sensitive nature was Jared
by complaints of her family put complaint box
In all complaints written out and dropped If they had
pruns baked beans Often not word said but the crt
cs deposited the box Then Sunday after dinner the
complaints read and the family acted them If they were
justified effort made reform the frownedon practice If
the criticism unjust fine levied and the money given to
charity. Criticism became taboo in that home.
Certainly courtesy like charity begins home The home folks
have the strongest chain best manners.

PIE SOCIAL A SUCCESS

The pie social given by the PIT. A
at the Oklahoma school house Thurs
day night was not only a fine en-
tertainment, but was also a financial
success. The school Victrola render
ed the Star Epangled Banner and
other patriotic songs to the delight
and enjoyment of the large and ap-
preciative audience Perhaps the most
enjoyable feature of the evening en-
tertainment was the readings given
by Mrs. Simon Alper. We can only
say that for one to fully appreciate
Mrs. Alper's readings they must be
heard, as no pen description could do
them justice. Mrs. Ross and Miss
Casey both gave very interesting talks
and from the many compliment on =.
pressed regarding these talks, they
most surely had the warm approval of
the audience. The only disappoint-
ment of the evening was the failure
Of Professor Berry to fill his place on
the program by executing one of his
artistic jigs. Mr. Perry has the cor
dial and undivided thanks of the
school and audience and they are
convinced as an auctioneer, he can
sell pies as we'll as tobacco.

WIN.THE.WAR SPIRIT IN BUSl'
NESS LETTERS

"See that a win the-war spirit gets
into your business letters" is the slo-
gan of a movement launched today by
the Department of Commerce to re-
mind business men that the everyday
business letter is most effective in
strument for creating confidence in
the Governments war policies and for
inspiring others with the determine
ton to see the war through at any
cost.
"The idea was first brought forward
in connection with American business
letters to foreign countries" said Sec
rotary Redfield today. 1.-THE volume
of our foreign business mail is very
large. 1t reaches firms in all but the
enemy countries. For the most part
it is read by those who are for us, but
YOU may be sure that it reaches many
who doubt our success and many who
are at heart against us. | am sure
that every foreign business man VIII,
opens an American letter is quick to
detect even the slightest indication of
the writer's feelings on the conduct OF
the war and its outcome.

LET the American business man
make known to the whole world that
he is for this war and that he is go
ing to see it through, regardless of

thing else. Every manufacturer

sentiments even thought he may be

les he may suspect are not wholly

RAWLINSON'S RESOURCEFUL

Herbert Rawlinson, star of "The

with Brownie Vernon at the Pastime
theater today is nothing if not re-
sourceful. They tell this story about
him at Universal City in connection
with his director Elmer Clifton, while
"The High Sign was being filmed.
Rawlinson was driving through Los
Angeles when he espied Clifton hurry
ing for a street car. "Hey, there, FL
mer, what's the rush? Where's your
carr"

All right; jump in and I'll get you

Clifton lost no time in accepting the
offer, but he did not quite see how
Rawlinson was going to make much
speed in the crowded streets. That
was where the crowded streets. That
was where he wasn't counting on
Rawlinson's resourcefulness. Herbio
grabbed off Cliftop's hat, tied his own
handkerchief around his passengers
head, and taking some vermilon from
his lips, streaked it over the temples
Of his nervous director. Then he
opened UP his car and tore across the
town. Every policeman along the road
gave him the right of way, quick
glance convincing each of the coppers
that no time should be lost in getting
the apparently wounded occupant to
the hospital.
The scenario was obtained, and both
it and the director delivered to Uni
versal City in plenty of time.
