SATISFIED WITH SUN DIALs
Men Of = Few Generations Ago Did
Not Demand Exactitude In the
Matter Of Time.

John c. Tominsm of New York has
made a speciality Of sun dinls, and a
writer in the New York Post says In
an Interview with him:
people used to be less particular
about time, Of course, than we have
grown to be, with our famous exacti-
tude. The old English stage coach
left at four but that meant at about
four Only noon could be depended
upon--and that when the sun chose
to shine. Clocks did not come into
use in Europe until the Thirteenth
century. Portable clocks were not in
vented until toward the end Of the
Fifteenth, but sun dias were very
commonly worn--not set up in gardens
merely, as we are accustomed to see
ing them now. They were used quite
generally in this country until the
early part of the Nineteenth century,
and even today, where conditions are
primitive, they gre the reliance of
guides and huntsmen. Occasionally
they become the timepieces of the
British army in uninhabited regions
washington was In the habit Df
carrying sun dial, although he pos
sessed many watches. The escutcheOn
of the United States Is copied from
an escutcheon upon sun dial
in England belonging to one OF
Washington's ancestors. Thomas JEFF
ferson was proficient dialist. and
Mr.. Tomlinson has two dials made by
him; one in 1907, when ne was Pres

Clocks were not only long unpOpu.

because they are not mentioned in

HOLL-UPS REPORTED

Parties coming in from Genoa last
evening brought report of several
hold-ups on the grades, automobile par
ties being the victims. In one instance
a man with a club tried to hold up a
butcher returning to Minden from
Lake Tahoe over the Kingsoury grade
The butcher was armed and held up
the would-be bandit and brought him
into Minden.
A man named Alderman, it WAS
stated, had been held up and robbed
on the same grade. Another hold-up
was reported on the Carter Summit
grade, where. it was stated, two drum
mers were the victims. They saw a
car apparently in distress and stopped
to see if they could extend aid. when
the hold-up stunt was pulled.
No definite word OF such work has
been received at the sheriff's office
here and Investigations have started to
round up the rumors. Nevada has a
habit OF dealing with such work and
there is a chance for some of it to be
put into action.

GAMBLING DEBTS
UNCOLLECTABLE

Emphasizing the settled law Of Ne
vada that money loaned for gambling
purposes cannot be recovered in its
courts, Judge Mark R. Averill hand
ed down a decision yesterday in a
case appealed from the justice court
The case is entitled John Vukivich VS..
Chris Melich, and despite the small
amount at stake the court enters
very fully nto the circumstances of
the alleged loan, evidently with the
view of impressing the law on all
persons involved in similar transact
tons.
On the evening OF January 5th., 1921
the plaintiff loaned the defendant
money, the plaintiff claiming the
amount to be $50, and the witnesses
merely testifying that they saw mon
ey pass in the form of grecnbacks to
the defendant.
The defense is that the money was
loaned on the night of January 10th
payday, while the defendant was ganrb

Let Doctor Name the Baby,

Perhaps more often than one real

influence in the naming Of the baby
Many instances might be related by
observant nurses, but this one may
suffice:
The doctor breezed into the room
on the morning after, and on the spur
of the moment asked checrly: well,
how is Elizabeth Ann finding herself?"
Elizabeth Ann is quite well and
apparently cOntented." answered the
nurse. And Elizabeth Ann. as an off

A Public Statement

tant, and Mr.. GOssett believing in the privilege
and right OF every citizen to employ whomso-
ever he desires, declined to sign such contract
with the Culinary union
We have information that on or about
Thursday night, March 3, 1921, the Trades
Council of Chickasha, through which all local
unions affiliate, met in session and passed a
resolution which in substance is as follows, to-
wit: That all merchants who have union card,
all union clerks, and all other union men who
are now stopping at the Early Hotel would
haverto move or they would be classed as un-
fair to all organized labor and it is the duty
of all union men to report another who does
not comply with this order.
When the demands of the Trades Council
became known "a mass meeting was held at the
Chamber of Commerce Rooms by strong rep
resentative body of the citizenship of Chicka-
sha Every financial institution in our city, and
many of the mercantile and other business es-
tablishments were represented. Mr. Gossett
made the statement as above outlined of the
demands that were made on him and his bust
ness. After general discussion concerning
the conditions as they exist in our city with
express determination from every individual
to lend his power to correct these conditions,
specific resolution was passed as follows, to-
wit:
That this body Of representative citizens of
the City of Chickasha Oklahoma, in open mass
meeting go on record as emphatically disap-
proving the action of the Trades Council of
Chickasha, Oklahoma. and affiliated local I'm
ions, in ordering a boycott Of trade oenforce
their demands that we most emphatically dis
approve Of the resolution affecting the Early
Hotel, and further that we disapprOUe any and
all resolutions by any and all organizations
that would tend to wrong any individual citi-
zen or any legitimate business whatsoever in
our city.

Chickasha, Okla, March 5, 1921.

This statement is addressed to every fair
minded thinking citizen of Chickasha. We be-
lieve all good citizens are for better Chicka-
sha, better Grady county, and better Ok
lahoma First of all, we want to see our city
GROW and prosper. We declare ourselves for
any good movement which would tend for the
betterment of this city. Conditions exist now
which are daily growing worse right here in
our midsts We feel that the majority of the
citizenship do not approve of these conditions,
nor do they intend to tolerate such conditions
longer.
A factionalism is a detriment to any town
or community. Fair dealing with spirit of CO.
operation is necessary for success for any city
or community. A specific example has been
brought to our attention today.
Mr. j. T. Gossett, proprietor of the Early
Hotel of Chickasha not being able to meet the
demands of the culinary union has been placed
on a socalled unfair list with organized labor
unions This affects the Early Hotel and the
Early Hotel dining room. Not only does it at
feet Mr.. Gossett in his business, but if the citi-
zenship of this town tolerate the tactics to ef-
feet the demands of the culinary union, it will \
affect every business, as we'll as individual IN
our city, The demands were: That Mr.. Cos
sett employ union chef at $40 per week and
board, that he employ second cook at S35 per
week and board, that employ all union watt
resses in his dining room at SIS per week and
board that he employ bus boy at $l5 per week
and board. These employees work hours, As
minutes per day with the privilege of each en-
ployee using their employers time in which to
eat their own meals, allowing 30 minutes for
each meal leaving only six hours and fifteen
minutes per day in which to work.

This resolution was unanimously passed
and orders were issued that it be printed so
that the balance of our citizenship that were
unable to attend this mass meeting should have
an opportunity to know of this particular con-
dition.
To the citizens who were not present at this
meeting, and who approve of this step as a for
ward movement for a better Chickasha a big
ger Chickasha and cleaner Chickasha, you
can align yourself with this movement by plac-
ing your name in the hands of the committee
selected.
We do not wish to wage fight on any one
We do not wish to see any one out of employ
ment but we do emphatically declare that tao
tics which are now being used in our city to ef-
feet demands are far beyond all rights of JUS
tice from any individual or organization. From
the foundation of this world until today, man
in both his individual and collective capacityin
all walks of life has realized that favors and
demands acquired blythe sacrifice of principle
and right are temporary pleasures purchased
at an exceedingly high price.
This citizenship of Chckasha represented
at the mass meeting does not intend to allow
theprinciple Of right to be sacrificed, and wish
to go on record further with this statement.
They emphatically disapprove of boycotts to
effect the demands Of organized labor or capi- "
tal that we approve of every individual every
corporation, co-partnership, business of any
and all natures, conducted on fair and legit-
mate basis.
We are entering into new era.efficien-
cy will have its reward
