Overcome BY Gas
Lite is Saved by
Quick First Aid''

While working in an endeavor to
plug leak in the gas main under
the sidewalk near the corner Of
Third street and Chickasha avenue,
Curtis Jones, an employee of the
Chickasha Gas and Electric com
pany, was overcome by gas yesterday
morning about 10 o'clock. His life
was saved when J. S. Henderson,
another employee OF the company
applied the prone method of recus-
STATION.
According to F. D. Shaffer, man
ager of the gas and electric com
pany, Jones removed the gas mask
because it interfered with his work
He over-estimated the time he could
endure the escaping gas and fell un
conscious. Quick and heady work
on the part of Henderson saved
Jones life, Mr.. Shaffer believes.

Through their extensive vista

need in the city, but also why each
case should be in need, and where
| The condition of the family is due to
worthlessness, or shiftlessness, to
attempt to arouse a spirit that will
enable them to help themselves. The
methods used in such cases often
succeed to surprising degree In
every worthy case the assistance
that each case would indicate to be
most necessary is always given, and
in such substantial quantities as to
be a real help. This method of ex-
tending assistance can only be sue
cessfully used where full first hand
information concerning each case Is
available, but where a work of visl-
tation is extensively and efficiently
done, this method of extending re-
lief to those who are needy and
worthy can be used to the best pos
sible advantage.

is always kept. the name and
street address of the family, the
names and ages of the child, as well
as such other matters as the obser-
walton of each case would suggest to
be valuable information concerning

Strauss Machine Runs Wild in Tur-
ky Day Contest; Chckasha

tors Line at viii.
10 TOUCHDOWNS RESULT
OF CONTINUED ATTACK
Guthrie Makes Downs One Time on
Forward Pass; Local Line Holds;
Bout is Lop-Sided; Final
Score 1870 to o.

Finishing the season in whirl-wind
style, the Chickasha high school
eleven yesterday afternoon defeated
the Guthrie hig hschool team 130 to
in a lop-sided game played on the
Eighth street gridiron.
Guthrie was able to make downs
only one time, this being in short
pass for twelve yards. Strauss ag-
gregation made downs almost at
will.
The locals started scoring in the
first minute of play when a long
forward pass Roach to Washburn
brought the first counter Guthrie
kicked Off and stopped the Chick
asha runner on the 24-yard line. On
the next play, Roach passed a long
spiral to Washburn who raced be-
hind the bars. Roach kicked goal.
Machine InvincibIe.
From the time Washburn scored
the first touchdown until the final
whistle was blown, Dutch" Strauss
scoring machine was invincible and
at no time did the Guthrie gridsters
threaten to halt the onslaught. The
visitors were helpless throughout.
Chickasha was successful in every
style of football Coach Purdue's
team had little defense to combat
passing and several of the nineteen
touchdowns registered by the
tStraussmen were made via the aerial
route.
To pick an individual star of the
game would be a job more difficult
than the selecting of an all.American
scholastic eleven. The Chickasha
wing-men and line must be given
credit for holding the Guthrie team
in such manner that they were un-
able to make downs one single time
over the line or around the ends,
while the backfield men had little
trouble in advancing the ball
Roach, White and Washburn
played important parts in scoring.
-Four times during the onesded con
test, Washburn crossed the Guthrie
goal line after receiving almost per
feet passes from Roach, undoubtedly
the most brilliant fullback in Okla
homa scholastic football.
In addition to his long kicks, ac-
curate passing and defensive work,
Roach carried the. inflated pigskin
for five touchdowns.
Red" White was easily one of the
sensations Of the game. Despite
painful injuries sustained in the
Tulsa game last Saturday, Red
entered the game in the third quar-
ter and registered four touchdowns,
two of which were made by 55-yard
runs. Whites lett arm was practically
useless as a result of the injuries
sustained in the game against the
oil city team.
Strauss used many second string
men in the final quarter.

Is Huge Organization.
The Penney system OF stores
forms an enormous organization. The
company has grown from one to 312
stores in the past 1S years and every
store carries a full line of dry goods,
ladies' and mems and children's
ready-to- wear, shoes and a complete
assortment of furnishings.
The firm began business in KEN
merer, Wyoming, 1S years ago. The
first year this store sold $2S,000

stores next spring.
Great Volume of Business.
The Penny company does great

000, 900, according to reports issued
by the company. With the 40 new

estimates that the business
will total $75,OOO,OO in all its stores
An army of workers is required to
carry on the Penney stores. A state
ment issued by the company says
that $500 employees earn a livelihood
with the company 1t is pointed out
that with the opening of the new
stores next spring, this number will
be materially increased by the ad
dition of more than 1000 new EN-
ployes.
The company keeps special buy
ers in the eastern markets and is
branching out into the manufactur
ing business, a representative of the
company stated today. The Penney
company is manufacturing certain
lines of goods used in its stores and
plans are to extend this manufacture
to other branches, it was stated.
