DON'T DISTURB THE DEAD

1t appears that there are' some
Tulsa citizens who are opposed to
the use of the hall over the under
takers on East Archer street, for
dancing purposes. One of the men
who are thus opposed expresses his
views as follows:
Mr.. Editor:-We, the citizens and
Christians of this city do ask the
good Christian citizens to help us
to impress upon the minds of our
young citizens who enjoy dancing
to please select some other location
for dancing. We don't want thel
to dance over our undertaken. We
know you don't hurt the dead, but
YOU wound The hearts of their rela-
tiveS and friends.

PERSHING THANKS NEGRO
WOOD CARVER
Mr.. Taylor Carves and Presents Bus
Relief of General to Him.

(Star News Service.)
TULSA, Mar. 5.-While our Col
oreG citizens took no prominent
part in The program prepared for
the reception of General John j.
PcrShing during his visit here in
February, this was not due to any
lack of interest in the General, nor
any lack of admiration for him. Our
people just like others elsewhere
have a keen relish in remembering
th"t when the question of sending
Colored troops to France came up,
early during the recent great worlds
war, General PerShing illustrated
his proposition by calling for more
Colored soldiers.
One incident of the PerShing re-
ception, not on the program, was
the unexpected presentation to the
General at Convention Hall, of very
expertly carved and painted bus
relief wood carving portrait of him
self. The presentation was made by
Mr. II. c. b. Taylor, well knowh
Negro citizen of Tulsa. Mr.. Taylor

Have you met DR.. a. r.. Lewis?
Well, if not, he has been here and
lis card can be found tackled up IN
hundreds Of places around Tulsa.
DR.. Lewis is Health Commissioner
for the State of Oklahoma, and has
been giving Tulsa a close inspection
pursuant to the modern scientific
r.ethod of handling diseases of the
human family. This modern method
aims to prevent and render disease
impossible as far as can be attained
by educating the people. The old
fogy ideas of our fathers and grand
fathers concerning handling of dis
ease have been thrown aside, and
now through health boards and
health officers, people are instructed
how to avoid doctor and undertaken
bills. This trip DR.. Lewis has post
ed notices in colorad hotels and
restaurants prohibiting use of pub
lie glasses at drinking fountains and
OF roller towels. This is indeed a
very proper and needed warning
and any reasonably witted person
will readily see the wisdom of obey
its DR.. Lewis order.

that everyone'S life has bad places

Don't stand back and Judge Tulsa

A very unusual and exciting scene
was enacted on the corner of Archer

night, the principals being two col
ored women and white man, the
latter being street car conductor

cause of his mania for getting
drunk and flashing his gun.
According to reports Lam met the
women on East Archer and accosted
them in an ungenllcmanly manner
and when they resented it, pulled
his gun and threatened to shoot
them. The women went their way
but returned and followed him till

COLD WEATHER TIPS

Here are a few things for motorists
to remember while the winter season
is on:
Take your time warming UP engine.
Stamping your fot down on the
accelerator and allowing the engine to
race may result in serious damage.
Run the engine slowly for three of
four minutes and you will save re-
pair bills, oil and gasoline.
Beware OF these sO-called anti-freez-
ing compounds. The best IS that
which VIII prevent freezing without
inturing engine or radiator.
