GOLFERS ASKED
GIVE MATERIAL :. =

Association Appeals for Clubs,
Balls, Etc, to be Used in
Training Camps.

As the result of an urgent appeal
from the United States Golf Asscci-
alton. Tom Boyd, secretary of the
Chickasha Country Club, will make
a thorough canvass for surplus golf
material owned by local golf players.
Tht national association has been
asked to cooperate with the govern
mint in making the game of golf
POSSIBLE for the boys in the various
training camps over the United
States, and to do this facilities must
be obtained.
The Commission on Training
Camp Activities of the War Depart
ment, after a suS.-y- of existing con-
ditions, has decided that there S a
real need for this national game in
the naton's training camps. 1t pro-
duces evidence tha' golf provides
a sort of recreational activity which
plays an important part in counter
training.
Golf associations and country clubs
all over tire country have been asked
to help in this movement and Mr..
Boyd asks that all local golf players
who have a surplus amount of facil-
tiles, communicate with him at once,
"All such equipment, including clubs,
balls, golf bags. etc, should be in
good condition and partly used balls
should be II good shape" Secretary
Boyd says.
Shipment of the golf equipment
which is gathered here will be made
as soon as possible, according to Mr.
Boyd.

COAL SITUATION
OF OKLAHOMA is
NOT SO GLOOMY

Ada, Okla, Sept 26.-The fuel situ-
alton in Oklahoma is not so gloomy
as it was a few weeks ago, accord
ing to information given out today by
p A. Norris. state fuel administra-
tor, though there is not enough coal
in the bins of the consumers and in
the bins of the retail coal dealers to
insure safety Mr. Norris and his CO.
workers are highly pleased with the
attitude the citizens of this state
have taken and the efforts they have
made to store coal AS a result of
the cooperation, there will be no
shortage this winer, provided ship
ments are made all along as fast as
the cars can carry the coal, and pro-
vided everyone who can will use
wood.
The fuel administration at Wash
ington advises that it is not adyisa-
Bile Ia tell the citizens of any certain
dis trict that they should use natural
gas instead of coal. If those towns
having supply of gas fear short;
age this winter, the coal ought to be
shipped in at once.
The greatest problem before the
fuel administration at this time is
the disposition of the screenings and
some mine run coal. Steam plants
using this grade of coal will help the
situation greatly by buying this grade
now. Every consumer who can use
this cheaper grade of coal owes it
to his country to buy and use ii in
stead of using the lump or put, ac-
cording to Mr. Norris.

return to the old regime Of unrestric-
ted alcoholism impossible after the
war.
This is the purport Of a report to
the British people by Lord D'Aber-
non, chairman of the board of liquor
control
Liquor may be sold but only at Ger
tain hours and in limited quantities.
Saloons are allowed to sell alcoholic
drinks only ) hours out Of every "a.
If a-dispensary sells out its quota be-
fore closing time, its patrons have
the alternative of soft drinks or go
ing home.
Treating has been prohibited by
law The bartender who tolerates it
is liable to fine and the establish
ments license may be revoked
The liquor board believes abolish
ment of the treating system has play
ed an extremely important part in
counteracting excessive drinking.
A dynamic substitute for the bar
room and free lunch counter as a
social gathering place has been found
in the new canteens the government
and various private concerns have
opened where large. numbers of labor
ers are employed-near the ship docks
and munition factories. The govern
ment canteens are operated without
profit, and the privately owned eat
ing places aim to charge but little
more than enough to pay expenses.
The strength of alcoholic bever-
ages has also been lessened, the av-
erage dilution being about 25 per
cent. Distilling of spirits except for
war or medicinal purposes was
Stopped two years ago.

New Protest Made at
Naming of Bruere
State Industrial Commission
Sends Secretary Wilson
Word of Its Opposition

Following the protest made by the
Central Federated Union against the
appointment of Henry Bruere to the
post of head of the United States En-
ployment Service in New York. James
M. Lynch, a member of the State In
dustrial Commission, announced YES
terday that the commission had also
put itself unanimously on record as
opposing the appointment. A copy of
the resolution of protest was sent to
Secretary of Labor William B. Will
son.
1t is the contention of the commits
sion that the plan whereby Mr.. Bru.
ere's appointment was made possible
interrupts the cooperative relations
existing between the United States De-
partment of Labor and the State In
dustrial Commission.
The appointment of Mr.. Bruere was
made possible after the resignation of
henry d. Sayre, member of the State
Industrial Commission, who had been
occupying the position of head of the
employment service, had been de-
manded and received.
