Aiding Uncle Sam During Com
ing Year
SELECTION OF PARK
SITE IS CONSIDERED
Necessity Of Providing Fair Grounds
Easily Accessible Pointed Out;
Eighth Members Elected

Resolved: That during 1913 and
all coming years the members of this
club Will be 100 per cent American,
% ng everything in their power to
ai the government In carrying to a
,torious conclusion the war in
which it is now engaged"
This resolution, suggested by a
Dallas man as an appropriate New
Years sentiment, was adopted by the
local Lions CLUB at their regular meet
ilg II. noon yesterday, on motion Of
Alger Melton, seconded by f. c.
Shaiier
~ commenting upon the resolution
Cne of the members said, ut doesn't
mean that the members OF this club
have been remiss in performing the
uuties incumbent upon them as true
Americans but it does mean that they
wi'i 40 moTe for Their country, " pos
s,hnie, ,-in ri1H c0mirls geRi taaiA tgcg
have II the past. It means that we
shall make American citizenship our
principal business in 1918" AS an
organization and as individuals the
Ions club has been active in patri-
otic service during the past year.
One member served for several
months on the local exemption board
another is chairman of the County
Council of Defense and others have
taken prominent parts in Red Cross
work and the Liberty bond cam
paigns.
Eight additional members were
elected by the club at the meeting
yesterday. They are as follows R.
E. Montgomery Frank M. Bailey, w.
H Donahue, J. R. Nugent, p G. Spin
ing, j. D. Carmichael, c. H. Caneman
and Ed Shultz.
In addition to holding the annual
election of officers, resulting in the
reelection of all those serving dur
ing the past five months, the club
spent some time in discussing the
park and fair grounds proposition
That it is highly important for Chick
asha to take definite action in he
gard to this matter in the near fu-
ture, was one of the points stressed
by several members. IF we don't
provide fair grounds, there is reason
to believe We shall lose the county
sair," it was declared.
. THE selection of the right site
must he looked after with the great
est care if the people vote the nee
essary bonds,' said Myron Hum
phrey. "The site must be close to
town, easily accessible from the car
line, if it is to be of any value for
fair or park purposes. / don't be-
leye the people will vote the bonds
il such site is not found"
Other members also expressed sim
liar opinions. The clubs committee
on public affairs, of which Alger Mel
ton is chairman, was Instructed to CO.
operate with the city council and
lark board in working out the prob.
lem which is now under considera-
ton

/ fort of the people we will be able
to encourage manufacturers to come
here and one of the best drawing
cards for them would be cheaper fuel
and in order to get this we should
do everything in our power to get
natural gas here"
Must Whip Germans.
When M. F.. Courtney was asked
the question, he said, II think the
most important thing that could be
done for the interest of Grady county
and the city of Chickasha is to put
forth every effort to whip the Ger
mans. This is the biggest thing that
we have to do at present and any
thing that will tend toward that di-
reetion viii be of lasting benefit for
the county and city.
Answering the question more di-
rectly, ! think we should get a good
fair ground in connection with the
park. We must also do everything
possible for the Improvement Of the
roads as we have to certainty neg
lected them in the past.
Plant Variety Crops.
Another thing that / think is of
the greatest interest to the county
and the city is to urge the farmers
to plant variety of crops. This is
certainly important for should one
crop fail then there will perhaps be
enough of another to fall back on to
carry one through the season.
A suggestion was made that the
people here had not felt the real sig
nificanee of the war as had the peo
pie in the east.
Speaking OF this situation Mr. Court.
ney said, This is true. We have
some very attractive offers made us
whereby we would be able to make a
great deal. believe that an effort
should be made by the business men
of Chickasha to purchase feed for
the farmers and then sell the same
to them at actual cost of laying it
down, plus the interest that the value
of the same would draw"

MUN|T|0N WORKERS
MAY PLUG THEIR EARS
WOULD LESSEN GROWING
NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS,
EXPERTS BELIEVE.

Washington, June 2S.-Plugging
the ears of workers in munitions
factories has been suggested in
England as a means of lessening
the growing number OF accidents
arising from efforts to increase
speed in production.
Speed of production inevitably
tends to a more than proportionate
increase of accidents" says the re-
port of an investigator for the NIL
nition workers committee, received
here in consular dispatches. "Acci-
dents depend in the main, on care
lessness and lack of attention OF the
workers, and so the more one can
eliminate this lack of attention and
increase concentration upon work,
the more will accidents be reduced
"One wants to induce in all the
workers throughout their hours OF
labor the same mental outlook as is
present in the night-shiit workers
in the early hours OF the morning.
These workers have for the most
part forgotten the pleasures and ex-
citements INDUCED in shortly before
coming on night shift, and they
have nothing but an unexhilarating
breakfast and bed to look forward
to.
such 4 mental state is impossi-
BILE of achievement by the day SHIFT
workers, but something in the way
of mental calm and equilibrium can
be attained by stopping all CONVEX
sation except that relating to the
work in hand. If the workers would
consent to it, it would be a good
plan to induce temporary deafness
by plugging the ears, and so shut
out the noise of machinery, which Is
in itself an important cause OF dis
traction and fatigue.
Again, if it were practicable, 1t
would be OF value to shut out the
sight of surrounding objects, by
separating the lathes or other ma
chimes from one another by parti-
tions.
AT fuse factory, when the op-
eratives were working l2-hour
day, the women's accidents were
two and a half times more numer-
Gus than in the subsequent lO-hour
period; but the mems accidents
showed no difference. At all the
factories inquired into, the night
shift workers suffered fewer acci-
dents than the day-shift workers
the average defect being 10 per
cent. This was due to the night
shift workers settling down TO a
calner mental tsate than the day
shift workers, and so becoming less
careless and inattentive.
"In all of the factories. the acci-
dents increased considerably as the
weather grew colder and diminished
as It grew warmer"

Can Germany Unscramble
Her Great War Omelette

Washington, June 2S.-Economic
rehabilitation after the war, the
unscrambling of the omelette made
by pouring all nations resources
into the frying pan of war, is be-
ginning to occupy the attention OF
Germany's statesmen and hnanciers.
First statements on what the public
may expect, made only recently and
transmitted here in official dis
patches, show that the government
of the Hohenzollerns plans to re-
tain a great part of the industrial
control seized under the guise OF
national necessity and that this con-
troll may be expected TO be used as
weapon against foreign competition.
when the government declares
that state organization will not be
necessary in all directions, but that
on the contrary it is hoped that a
great part of the economic lite VIII
be left free, then it is undoubtedly
well not to take too optimistic a
view Of the size OF this free do
main,' says the Berlin Tageblatt IN
reporting the governments plans
"Government organization is plan

matters, that is, must divide the
money which is at disposal for the
enterprise in question. 1t should
not do independent business, except
in cases where the circumstances
absolutely demand it. Real busi-
ness might be transacted, as for in
stance with foreign countries, such
as the Ukraine, where it is neces-
sary to take a common stand.
The shipping trade is probably
that which will have the freest pos
sible position inside OF this organi-
zation. The fact that the position
OF the German tonnage and means
OF transportation in the transition
period is entirely in the dark has
caused the steamship owners to also
be drawn into the compulsory or
ganization. This should be handled
by an office, which would see that
German tonnage first and foremost
is used for German import pur-
poses.
while the least possible compul-
sion will be exercised with regard to
steamship owners, it is the intention
to make it very strict toward the
textile indust y. The reason lies
mainly in the great shortage OF raw
materials. The plan is to establish
Offices for control OF the various
materials, such as cotton, wool, jute,
hemp, flax, silk, etc, and these Of
fees, apart from their main work of
dividing the manufacture, should
distribute the raw materials.
"A simpler thing is with regard to
groceries, as there is no lack of them
on the world market, but rather an
overflow. The regulation should be
in the hands of board of interest
ed parties, under state control, and
in each case permit should be given
in order to prevent foreign firms
entering the German market by aid
OF inland illegitimate trade. With
regard to coffee and tea, a coffee
import union and tea regulation
