THE PRINCE AND
THE PAWNBROKER

The German Reichstag paused in
its affairs the other day to discuss the
fortunes of the erstwhile crown
prince. It appears that this pamper-
ed young man is hard up, and that to
relieve his mental and gastronomic
anguish, his wife has pawned-or was
it sold!-a valuable diamond ring.
The transaction occurred in Holland,
but some Of the members Of the
reichstag were outraged because the
affair had the aspect Of smuggling" "
The debate on the matter was lifeless
until DR.. Breitscheid arose and said:
"He (the crown prince), is a young
man, and if he is in want, he can work.
And If he cannot find q job, we will
see that he gets unemployment in
surance. Why shouldn't he enjoy the
same rights as any other working
MANI"
There were strenuous objections
from the Conservative side of the
house, which still is under the shadow
of royalist influence. The mere sug-
SSsIioih Vhut q AAOhCuLOllcIu
work with his hands aroused the old
time prejudice among the Junkers
still extant. But the fact that the
majority roared its approval Of DR..
Breitschied's suggestion shows that
the leaven of democracy In Germany
has not entirely soured In the pan.
Whatever the German idea Of
Freddies going to work may be, the
world at large would enjoy the sight
Real work, the kind which develops
hard muscles and ealloused hands,
would do the crown prince great
deal Of good. A stone mason's job in

EUROPEAN CHILDREN
ARE SLOWLY DYING

Countless hundreds of thousands of
European children are dying slowly
this winter of starvation, exposure
and the diseases that follow under
nourishmcnt, according to Emile Of
! fenbacher of Tulsa, who has just
returned from trip to Europe. Mr..
Offenbacher is an oil man, president
of the Arrow Gasoline Company, and
an officer in many other oil and gas
corporations.
He visited France, Germany, Hol-
land, Switzerland and remnants Of
what was once Austria. He left Tul-
sa in May of this year and has been
home only short time.
austria is the hardest hit of any
of the countries visited" Mr.. Often
bacher said, although France and
Germany are suffering severely from
the effects of the war. have seen
hundreds of children on the streets,
clad only in rags, and begging for a
crust of bread or bone with which
to keep a spark of life in their bodies.
Medical attention cannot be had.
They are dying rapidly, and it seems
to be almost the policy of Europe
to let children die-because they are
better off dead"
In order to bring relief to these
pitiful little unfortunates, the Euro
pean Relief council has affected a
national organization headed by Her.
bert Hoover. John r. Hadley of this
city is Oklahoma chairman, and the
people of Oklahoma are asked to con-
tribute as literally as possible be-
tween December 10 and 26. /" Have
starving European child as your
Christmas guest" is the slogan of the
council.
Organizations taking part in the
campaign are the Red Cross, Y. M. C.
A., Y. w. C. A., Knights of Columbus,
Jewish Joint Distribution Committee,
American Friends Service committee
and Federal Council of the Churches
in America. County organizations are
now being perfected in every county
in Oklahoma.

COUNTIES VOLUNTARILY ASK
FOR EXTENSION OF PERIOD

Owing to the numerous requests
from various counties that the Tu.
berculosis Christmas Seal sale be ex-
tended, Jules Schevitz, general secre-
tary of the Oklahoma Public Health
association, announced here today that
the sale will be continued throughout
Oklahoma to and including Christmas
day. Original dates of the sale were
from December to IS.
Extension of the sale period was
asked because in many places it was
found that seals were selling more
rapidly with the approach of Christ
mas. Due to the press Of Christmas
shopping and other details, many
prospective purchasers neglected buy
ing seals. Now that Christmas Is
approaching, however, and the
christmas spirit" is growing, salss
are made much more easily.
Reports from all parts of the state
indicate good sale Of seals. Many
counties, however, started the sale
late, and it was particularly from
those places that requests for contin-
uaEce were most urgent.
Some towns and counties hope to ap-
proach or exceed the 10-seals-per-
capita goal set for 1920, although the
state as a whole only bought 23
seals per capita last year. If Okla
homa exceeds its 1919 seal sale record
it will be able to do much health pro-
motion work which otherwise will be
neglected.
Continued demands for further sup
plies Of seals and health bonds indi.
Gates that the sale is still making &C.
tive progress.

The Manila riot, a fight between
two bodies of police, may remind the
country that the Filipinos have been
among the few people on earth which
have been tranquil during the last
five years. OF course it is only a
big disturbance that makes a noise
across the Pacific, and doubtless the
Filipinos have had quarrels and
broils that We have not heard
through the din Of the western world.
Still, after making ample allowance
on that score, one is left with reason
for congratulating the Filipinos on
the serenity that has been theirs

s.55s PEOPLE DIE
FIRST HALF OF YEAR
(By DR.. A. r. Lewis, State Health
Commissioned

(By DR.. A. r. Lewis, State Health
Commissioner.)
|. During the first six months of 1921
total Of S,55S persons died in Ok
! lahoma. For this same period las,
year (Jan. to June) there were z,
1S6 deaths. On the face of these fig
ures, which have been compiled by
the Vital Statistics bureau of the State
Health department, it would appear
that the number of deaths in Okla.
homa is increasing.
Just the contrary is true. There
were in reality fewer deaths but the
reports were more complete, hence
the larger total. The 1920 report is
IL per cent better than that of 1919.
OF the 1858 deaths; $500 were from
preventable disease. This is almost
one-third and entirely too high rate.
1t is q blot upon the record Of any
state when one out Of every three
persons dies needlessly. By a better
understanding of health and sanitary
laws, nearly one-third Of the 1920
deaths might have been prevented.
But the state spends too little on
the health of its citizens. It pays out
about six times as much each month
for gasoline as it does for public
health. With a better enforcement
of the quarantine laws there would
be fewer epidemics. But the County
Health Officers, upon whose shoulders
lies the responsibility of enforcement
is paid so little-in many cases only
5000 per year-that he cannot devote
as much time to the work as would
be beneficial.
The sanitary conditions also have
direct bearing upon the health Of
community. The State Health
Board has but 10 inspectors, and their
work is hampered by an insufficient
allowance for travelling expenses. With
substantial increase in pay fol
both the County Health Officers and
State Inspectors, the preventable d.
sease list would show a decided de.
crease. According to reports sent
to the Vital Statistics bureau, the
following disease caused 1890 deaths
during the first six months Of 1920
Influenza 1858; Pneumonia 1897;
tuberculosis 552; Whooping cough 17C
Diphtheria 1902; Measels rs; Pellagra
90; Typhoid %; Scarlet fever 10;

Between 5000 and 10000 miles of

ed by Federal aid. This amount is

Federal fund of $G4.533,019 has been
approved by the Bureau of Public
Roads OF the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture up to September
30, 1920.
These trails do not constitute an
entirely sati factory syatcm of trans
continental roads, as officials of the
department say their selection in many
cases has been influenced too much by
such factors as pre-cxisting coudi-
tions, promises Of improvements by
local communities, to touch points of
scenic and historical interest.
The extent to which Federal aid
has been applied to the trails varies
in the different states. Naturally the
Western states are using much more
,of their Federal apportionments in
developing roads of this character than
Nthe Eastern states. This is due to the
fact that the trails in the Eastern
states had already been improved to
. large extent before the roads were
= >tssected by the pathfinders. This
was not true in the West, where long
stretches of the selected roads were
still in an unimproved condition when
they were designated.

1t is now being proposed by lot O

tions of the days when they burned

mails shall not be sent out on Sunday
newspapers shall not be published
games shall not be played, no amusc.
ments shall be tolerated. There is
something more than mere idiocy and
hypocrisy in this plan. We are just
now battling for the salvation of So

tions, and we arc urging all over the
world speeding up process and
here we have it proposed that
freight trains shall stop where they
are at midnight on Saturday night
and not move an inch until Monday
and that letters which are the life
of trade, shall not be carried on a
train that day. We are not to be
permitted to ride on trains or inter-
urbans or street cars, and only those
who can afford automobiles shall be
allowed to travel in this land Of
equal rights. If father or a mother
or husband, or a wife should be dy-
ing70 miles away it is to be made i'm
possible to reach their bedside on
Sunday on trains or interurbans. That
such idiocy should be advanced In this
day seems impossible, and yet the
measure is being pushed with the as
sistance Of organizations, and Sena-
tor McKellar of Tennessee has been
importuned to sponsor the bill. Hap
PLY for his reputation for sanity he
has refused to link his name with
anything so grotesque. It is unfOrtu-
nate that the long haired men and the
short haired women of Boobyland can
