FOR COMMON PEOPLE

LONDON, July 26.-Americans
find the cost Of vacations 50 high that
they cannot afford this year to 20 to
the mountains or seashore will be
interested in the way in which the
Young Mems Christian Association
is attempting to solve the problem in
England.
Seaside profiteers have made the
vacations so expensive for the aver
age English family that thousands
who before the war sought recrea-
tion on the east coast Of England
were unable to do so this year. The
hotels have jumped their prices to
unheard Of figures.
The H. NJ. &. A. is offering these
families bed and breakfast in these
east coast resorts 1t $420 a week
for each person and it proposes to
furnish nurses and accommodations
for children 80 that mothers can have
a real holiday.
TO accomplish this the association
rented hotel at Felixstcwo and an
other At Southcnd and established
tent camp at Herne Bay, equipping
them with such furniture as it was
able to quickly obtain. All valuables
must be left at home and only old
clothes can be worn.
No charge Is being made for chill
dren less than one year old and re-
duced prices are quoted for those less
than eight years This permits a
family in ordinary circumstances to
enjoy the holiday season at much less
price than before the war
Y. NJ. G. A. leaders are planning
to extend their vacation accommoda-
tions TO other shore resorts and 70
use for this purpose two military
camps.

REPAIR DAMAGE
TO SMOKE STACK
AT LIGHT PLANT

Work was started this afternoon
on cutting down that portion of the
smokestack of the light plant of the
Chickasha Gas and Electric com
pany, which had been wrecked by
the wind.
F. d. Sha-er, manager OF the com
pany, stated that preparations were
under way and scaffolding erected
to cut off part of the big stack when
the high wind of yesterday after
noon beat them to it, and blew down
about 20 feet of the top. This part
of the stack hung suspended in the
air and was very dangerous. It was
thought possible that the current
wouln have to be cut off entirely for
a short time this afternoon in order
to complete the job with safety to
the workmen.

Reconstruction" was the subject
of an address delivered last night at
the First Christian Church by Dr.
/. n McCash, president of Phillips
Christian University, Enid, Okla.
According to the speaker history
reveals that following great wars
and struggles is the most dangerous
and threatening crisis, and, in view
of this, we are now facing one of
the most critical periods in Ameri-
can history. The strikes that are
now commanding some attention of
the nation, the demoFSization of a
large army, the attention Of dis
charged soldiers, the rebuilding of
devastated France, Belgium and 9TH
er countTes that have been de-
stroyed, or partially destroyed by
powerful shells and high explosives
were among the problems mentioned
by the speaker.
"One hundred and fifty years ago.
we were living a colonial life; one
hundred years ago we were living
an international life; twenty years
ago, we were living a national life
and today we are living world
life DR. McCash declared during
his address. 1--WE now live a world
life, because our interests are cen
tered on the entire world as well as
within the boundary lines of Amer
lea, according to Mr. McCash. >

the most extensive of any male

the lifting melodies of popular favor
to the ponderous harmonies of the
grand opera. Every selection dis
closes clarity Of Individual tone, deli
cate blending of voice compass, thor
ough command of tonal contrast and

RIG BURNS
AS RESULT
HIGH WIND

The derrick, tool house and engine
house of the Langston OH and Gas
company on the Milwee farm in
1886, southern Grady county, were
completely destroyed by fire yester-
day morning, according to G. NJ
Langston, president of the company,
who was in Chickasha today.
The fire caught from the boiler as
the result of the high wind. Early
yesterday the wind became so strong
that to stay in the derrick was dam
gerous and it was decided to pull
tie tools and leave the rig for the
day. The fuel oil was turned on
literally in order to get up steam
quickly to pull the tools out of the
well. The wind, blowing into the
boiler house forced the flames out,
catching the boiler house on fire.
The blaze spread quickly to the en-
gine house and derrick and the en-
tire outfit was quickly burned to the
ground. 1t represents a loss of 49,
500 to $4,000.
Mr. Eangston stated this morning
that the rig would be rebuilt at once
and drilling resumed. The well has
been shut down for the winter and
was only recently started again
They were at a depth of 1920 feet
when the accident occurred.
