UNIQUE INAUGURAL TO BE
 STAGED BY JACK WALTON,
 0kLkH0MA'S NEW GOVERNOR
(By International News Service)

CBy International News Service) l Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. S.-An | inaugural celebration, which. by way | or contrast ,and largely because it is keynote, will make Oklahoma Cty's s elite -four hundred" gasp with as- tonishment in the near future, it is believed.
 For Oklahoma's Governor elect, J. C. C"Jack'D Walton, Democrat, wants t thoroughly understood that he de- sires no frills nor ostentation of any sort at the inaugural 'ban.' Okla homans can leave the full dress suit and the evening gown packed snugly away in the trunk and make their pilgrimage to the State Capitol build ing attlred in plain ''W Ork-a- day. clothes the evening of January and yet withal be sure of admission to the festivities, according to Walton.
 The programme for the evening, ac- cordfng to the arrangement commit tee, will consist largely of barbecue and an old-fashioned square dance. Conservative estimates as to the prob able attendance place the number of people at about 250,0OO at the very fer special excursion rates flor the occasion, and this procedure is ex- pected to materially swell the throngs who will wend their way to the Capi- tol.
 Scorns Pomp.
 Walton, who was elected as the States Chief Executive on a farmer labor coalition platform, dislikes af- fectation and pompous conventional display. As he put it, while conver- sing with newspapermen anent his plans for his inauguration, "The less grandeur for this occasion the bet ter. But hope everyone who attends will enjoy himself. Let joy reign un confinedi"
 Hinged with a reniniscence of pion- ger days, the affair is exepcted to prove enjoyable to those who desire a glimpse of by-gone days. Cowboys and Indians will add to the richness of the spectacle. Dressed in native garb-feathers, blankets and all

in St. Francis Hospital, in Pittsburgh, and so it went from week to week. Clerks in Washington went about their business with their accustomed calmness and deliberatiOn.
 Finally Dr. Bedrich Stepanek, Czecho-Slocakian minister, thought something ought to be done about it instead of so much red tape. He wrote a letter. It just sizzled. Then things happened mighty fast. Word came to St. Francis Hospital that Katina might be hospitalized along with oth- CT American veterans. He could have his operation and whatever else he needed in the way of medical atten- ton. The U. s. government could be charged with his account. The Czecho- SlOvakian government would rein- purse the United States government.

At that time Kearns filed 2 report at the traffic bureau, stating that he was proceeding out Fairfield avenue at a rate of about 5 miles per hour when Howard stepped off the curb and was struck by the left front fender He was knocked to the pavement and was taken to the Bridgeport hospital by a passing motorist. Kearns was not h cid at the time, as the patients in jurfes were diagnosed at the hospital as being not serious. He will be ar raigned in City Court tomorrow morn ing and a coroner's hearing on the case will probably be held in the af- ternOon.

 Women Ask Favors.
 Rumor has it that numerous wo- men have written to Walton request ing that he be "considerate" and grant them the pleasure of the first square dance with him.
 And the youngsters are not to be forgotten. The musical talent of the state will be on hand. Twelve or chestras and 50 bands will sjourney here.
 The inaugural promises to be quite an ard celebration.

The Smoke Ring

The last place that Buskins took
the Twins to, in the Land-of-Up-in-
the-Air. was called Smoke Land.
Its an entirely different kind of
a place from Mistland," explained
the little fairyman, because, while
the mist fairies are getting ready for
adventures there will be no more
adventures for the smok fairies.
All they can do is to dream about
The adventures they have had. But
they love to tell stories and they
will be glad to see you and entertain
you with some of their doings."
Nancy and Nick and Buskins
were in the little elevator, going up
to the sky, and no sooner had Bus
kins finished his speech than they
stopped at the place he had been
'alking about.
The smoke fairies were glad to
see them and made room round the
great fire where they were sitting.
not a hot fire, but a bright, CHEEKY
one, which was magical.
