HEAR DIR. JENKINS TONIGHT

THE DAY is today. The hour is 8 o'clock
p. m. The place is Convention Hall.
The topic is the League of Nations. The
speaker is DR.. Burrs Jenkins of Kansas City.
Ardmore and its vicinity should turn out
in force to hear DR.. jenkins defend the league
covenant 1t is said that until he went to
Europe as a war worker he was not strong
for league Of free nations, but that after
spending some months on the several fronts
and studying at close range the world situa-
ton he became a strong advocate of such
league. Since he returned to America he has
lectured in many states and appealed for SEN
timent in favor of the league covenant now
before the senate Of the United States as
part Of the treaty Of peace with Germany.
1t will be a treat to have a man Of Dr.
Jenkins ability and reputation tell why he
believes the United States needs the league
why the rest Of the world needs it, how the
nterdependence Of the nations has grown and
has brought about an imperative demand for
an international agreement calculated to pre-
vent wars and to conserve peace. Admission
to the hall is free.
Dr. jenkins comes to Ardmore without
charge giving his time and talent gratis. Let
us give him the courtesy Of big audience.

BIG SUNDAY PAPERS "BUNK"

MUCH TRUTH there was in what Frederick
4N1 Whyte, Nj. p, a prominent British jour
nalist, told the journalism students Of the Uni
versity Of Oklahoma about the massive Sunday
editions Of large American newspapers. Mr.
Whyte expressed the belief that such editions
do more than any other one agency to corrupt
the American taste for good literature. The
class Of literature they contain, he said is de-
grading Mr.. Whyte might have qualified the
latter statement, masmuch as some of the liter
ature presented by some of the big Sunday
papers is distnctively edifyng. 1t is true,
nevertheless, that much of the stuff-not to be
cassed as literature at all-is altogether de-
grading in its influence upon the Uniformed
mind.
Perhaps the most degrading feature in the
big Sunday editions is the comic section-tha
funny It is comic, to be sure, and measur-
ably funny; but much of it is positively harm
full to the child-mind. either adolescent o. adult
which consumes it. As to "art," the comic
"artist' is misnamed his drawings are the
opposite of art. The jests accompanying many
of the comic drawings are irreverent, rough
house, sangy and calculated to cause children
to accept such things as standard humor, which
by all means they are not.
There is also in the big Sunday editions
much matter supplied by the "syndicates'
which is evil in its influences. From the stand
point Of literary artistry it is vile; it is syndi
Gated. syncopated ragtimed bunk
1t is evident, however, that in recent years
the big Sunday editions have shown some i'm
in the class of ''literature" they pre-
sent. 1t is evident likewise that there is room
for further Improvement. We trust that Mr..
Whyte's criticisms may bear wholesome fruit.

Presidents Answers to Various Questions
as to Our Status Under League Covenant

nation proposing to withdraw, and the
requirement tnat at the time Of with
drawu it shall have fulfilled all it's
international obligations and its obi.
cations under the covenant Of the
league is in obligation only upon its
own conscience.
q, Under the covenant does the
nation obligate itself to assist any
member Of the league in putting down
a rebellion Of its subjects or conquered
peoples?
4. 1t does not.
q. Under the covenant can this
nation independently recognize gov
ernm,nt whose people seek to achieve
or have achieved their independence
from a member of the league?
A. The independent action Of the
government Of the United States in
a matter Of this kind is in no way
limited or affected by the covenant of
the League Of Nations.
Q. Under the covenant are those
subject nations or people only that
are mentioned in the peace treaty en-
titled to the right of self determina-
ton, or does the league possess the
right to accord Il similar privilege TO
other subject nations or people?
A. 1t was not possible for the peace
conference to act with regard to the
sell.determ.nation of any territories eX-
cept those which had belonged to the
defeated empires, but in the covenant
Of the League of Nations it has set
up for the first time in Article N, a
forum to which all claims of self-de-
termination which are likely to disturb
the peace of the world or the good un-
derstanding between nations upon
which the peace of the world depends,
can be brought.
Q. Why was the case of Ireland not
heard at the peace conference? And
what is your position ON the subject
for self-determnation Of ireland?
A. The ease of Ireland was not
heard at the peace conference because
the peace conference had no jurisdic
ton over any question of that sort
which did not affect territories which
belonged to the defeated empires. My
position on the subject Of self-deter
mination for Ireland is expressed in
Article XI Of the covenant in which l
may say | was particularly interested
because it seemed to me necessary for
the peace and freedom of the world
that a forum should be created to
which all peoples could bring any mat
ter which was likely to affect the peace
and freedom Of the world

SOLDIERS TAKING
 TRAINING COURSE
Disabled Soldiers Make Ap- plication for Vocational
 Educational Course

Large numbers of returned soldiers are applying daily at the local office of the federal board for vocational edu- cation. 505-5o6 Jefferson County Bank building, for training. Maj. John A. Elmore, who has charge of this office. has recommended many men for courses of training in agriculture, me chanics and commerce.
 The office was opened here several weeks and sometime was required to impress on the returned soldiers the splendid opportunities offered by the government in this training and now boys from all over the state, as well as from many other states, have been recommended for training along any line they so desire.
 Clarence o. Watts of Walden, Miss, who was a second class seaman in the United States navy. but who was talk ing business course at Massey Busi- ness college, was stricken with acute appendicitis Tuesday and was taken to the Birmingham infirmary, where he underwent an operation. He is re- ported to be resting well last night.
 This just demonstrates to what ex- tent the government is caring for the men who were disabled as a result Of the world war" said Major Elmors, and the word disabled does not mea a that the men are unable to work. There are very few men who haven't t at least a 10 per cent disability. We are very much encouraged over the number making application for this training and feel confident with the as sistance of the newspapers and the public generally all soldiers and sailors will be informed as to the trainin : arranged for their benefit

United States Railroad Administration Urges Cars Be Returned to
 Home Lines

The homeward movement of railroad freight cars is now under way, and as the numbers increase from day to day the United States railroad administration is urging that they be returned to their own lines loaded in so far as it is possi- ble.
 Regional Director B. l.. Winchel of the southern region has issued the following instructions:
 Many thousands of railroad freight cars are going home after war service on distant lines. Under an order of the railroad administration, made public to- day, instructions issued during the war for pooling equipment regardless of own ership are modified so as to require cars to be loaded toward the home road wherever practicable.
 The new order does not apply to cars handled under the refrigerator and tank car department of the car service section at Chicago, nor to those under the direc- tion of the eastern railroads coal car pool at Pittsburg.
