something, along with that dry
year" and other twelve month pc
riods referred to by the old timers
as the Human Limit, being used
principally for the purposes of COM
parison with things which are about
as bad as they can be and still at
all bearable.
With the ushering out Of the Old
Year and ringing in Of the new
baby, Nineteen-Twenty-TwO, the
Chickasha business men feel that
they have something that calls for
celebration, a holiday, a day of
rest and rejoicing. Therefore, New
Years day proper falling ON Sunday,
Chickasha will observe Monday, jan
uary 2, as the holiday.
All stores, banks, offices and bus
mess houses will be locked up, ac-
cording to an announcement from
the Retail Merchants association
headquarters and all the bosses and
hired help will take the day off to
check up the resolutions made a
year ago and broken and to. make
a fresh batch of promises all over
again.
Drug stores, confectionaries and
restaurants will remain open. Aside
from a good feed, about all you will
be able to buy in Chickasha Monday
will be a "coke" and by the way,
it will cost you only nickle as
the penny war tax is another thing
that will get the axe tonight at mid
night.

With the conference in recess.
waiting only for the clearing up o.

the naval agreement, the Chinese
delegates prepared to throw the
whole shantung question before the
naval airplane carriers In accord.
ance with the American proposal
was reached Friday by the naval
committee OF the armament confer.
ence The agreement would give the
United States and Great Britain
10000 tons Of airplane carriers,
Japan 1000 tons and 10000 tons
each France and Italy.
Under the agreement the maxi
mum tonnage Of any airplane car
rier would be 27O0O tons, which
would allow five for the United
States and Great Britain, three for
Japan and two each for France and
Italy.
The naval committee adjourned on
call, pending adviees TO the French

tation on size of auxiliary craft

lively agreed to earlier in the 9.y,

The airplane tonnage for all the
wopers was patterned after the five

meet the specific need represented
