THI, WORLD COURT.

Ages ago, when some strong prim- tive man dragged a weaker male be- fore the most powerful person of the tribe or group of savage creatures to have vengeance for some wrong "civlization" having struck the tribe and with it some form of arbitration of dfferences-the king or leader who listened to the jabber and then pronounced savage judgment did not realize that he was founding an ln- stitution which, developed, would make it possible for men and women. ages after, to live and own things peacefully, to feel that they might al low their possessions out Of their sight for a short time at least without fear of losing them. That first savage arbitrator had no idea. of course, that the beings we call men and Wom- en today would ever exist as they now exist. He had found that he would be happier and could eat and sleep more comfortably if there were some sort of arrangement whereby he would not be disturbed. He was more comfortable if his subJects- those less powerful than he-were comparatively quiet except when ne wanted them to be noisy. Moreover he had favorites whom he did not wish disturbed. Therefore he estab- lished some sort of law.
 Through all the ages that law has developed until we have our courts. They make life possiblc--life as we know it. the only life that is bear able.
 Yesterday there opened the World Court in the Hague Palace. Nations are more tractable than were those first savages although the mysterles of the working of nations brains have not been solved. There has been found. as vet no means for finding out exactly what they will do nor how far they will go in furthering their own ends. Ophmists hope that ne" snirit has come to them-a spirit of the desire to live at peace with the world, giving other nations equal chances in the belief that in this way thcy themselves will gain the great est welfare and happiness for their neople. This is only a hope today.
 The establishment of this World Court marks an epoch It may sue ceed. it may fail. But if it fails from it's ashes will rise another, a greater and stronger court, and sitting in the chair of the president of that court will be an American. Those who pe- licyc in the inevitableness of happl- ness and harmony are firm in their conviction that such court VIII come.
 international law has not been codihed. There are no written "oros covering all situations into which na- lions may intrude. great mass of common law must be made, as the common law of England grew and, founded upon it, the common law of this country Here this common la" which is merely common sense re- dnced to precedent which will work the right solution of difficulties in the

THE, JAZZ AGE.

Probably the present year and the time attached to 1t, last year and per haps next year, will be known in his tory as the Jazz Age" just as there was the stone Age" and the Iron Age"
 It Is quite probable that there will be no lasting memorials of this age unless the influences Of today are the 1 inspiration of lasting traits of char acter in the generations to come and these may not be recognized as memories" Alice Robertson, how ever, representative from Congress ! from Oklahoma, says that the flap per" does not give children to the world and that her species will not be perpetuated. There is some doubt about such failure. She is making a deep impression on the race. Now comes the old time dealer in valentines and makes comments on the sale of Tuesday He asserts that people bought only serious loving val entines for the last five years up to 1 this year, He tells how he had 250,- 900 comic missives piled on his shelves for sale in the years previous | to this, but that no one bought He thinks that perhaps people did not feel like sending them because of the war and the sadness resulting.
 But this year he says all those stored up comic valentines were call ed for. He had to get more. People wanted to send the alleged funny things; they displayed a desire to show how light thing they consider ed life and life's emotions. Then sent the "comics' to their nearest and dearest
 Other reports substantiate this mans words. The supply of comic valentines was exhausted in other cases. The demand could not be met by some dealers.
 | There is not the slightest question but that this is the spirit of the day. | People do not want to see serious plays, no matter how well performed, | if there is a chance to laugh at an- other presentation elsewhcre--or un- lcsE the serious play has other attrac- tions which it is not wise to mention. People are taking life lightly in spite of the times of prcssure--and often | it is a sardonic sort of lightness like ! that of the financially ruined man who wastes his last ten dollars saying ten won't do him any good--it's thou sands he needs.
 This knowledge is of practical value to men and to women. It is necessary to know the worlds attitude in order 10 meet it and to deal with it. The only thing for serious minded per sons to do is to make the best of it waiting patiently for the reaction to come when the jazz" will has disap- pcarcd from everything and full sani- ty prevails once moro. But mean while perhaps the jazz has done some good. It will be well for those serious minded persons, while they are waiting, to examine themselves
 
 need d little "jazzing" up: To put if seriously if never hurts any of us to see if we arc not taking ourselves a bit too seriousy--if little light ness inserted into the seriousness Of our thoughts would not make them a little more vital.

greatest number of cases is often aided by statutes passed by legislative bodies. These statutes govern where they apply; if there are no statutes resort is had to the common law, made up Of these prcCedents.
 The World Sourt will establish pre- cedents among nations. It's decisions will determine, as they are made, what is right and what is wrong as between nations. Its decisions will affect the world whether all coun- tries recognize its jurisdiction or not, for there will be nations bound by its findings and the actions of those na- tions will affect other nations whether the latter come within the reach of the arm of the World Court or not.

CHANGE IN TERMS

Credit terms to meet the farmers
needs. particularly with reference to
through the Oklahoma Cotton Grow
the orderly marketing of his cotton
er's association, are urged by the
special cooperative marketing COM
mittee of the Oklahoma Bankers
association, in resolution.
1t is recommended that the repay
ment date of loans be made during
the national marketing season instead
of at the end of the growing season.
Complete cooperation on the part
fo all banks in the state with the
cotton association also was strongly
urged.
The committee further suggests
that an agreement be entered into
between the cotton association and
the banks whereby cotton produced
by members of the association and
on which the banks held mortgages
might be sold through the associa-
ton in accordance with its program
of orderly marketing.
The agreement will be presented
to every bank in the cotton belt OF
the state.

UNIVERSITY MAKES 10000
MICROSCOPIC MEDICAL SLIDES

During the past three years the
laboratories of histology and pathol-
ogy at the medical school of the Uni
versity of Oklahoma have turned out
over 10000 prepared microcopical
slides dealing with all the normal
and diseased tissues of the human
body, and these are being systemati-
cally catalogued and filed. This work
is being conducted by DR.. Jos. NJ.
Thuringer, native Swiss who re-
ceived his medical training not only
in the leading continental center but
in this country as we'll. DR.. Thurin-
ger, who formerly taught in the medi-
cal schools at Harvard and Tulane is
developing a splendid array of his
tological preparations at the universi-
ty which will put in the Oklahoma
Medical school in the lead in this
line in the southwest. DR.. Thurin-
ger hopes to complete a collection of
over $4,000 human preparations in
the next two years. He is versed
in the technique of the latest methods
OF preserving, straining, mounting
practiced in this country and the
continent. He is an expert on double
and triple straining, and Golgi meth
ods. DR.. Thuringer has just installed
a chapter of the Phi Chi Medical
Fraternity at the University of Okla
homa which is the fourth national
medical fraternity to be established
in the Oklahoma School of Medicine
Oklahoma needs S50000OO0 at the
next legislature to move the Norman
end of the school to Oklahoma City
where it can be consolidated with the
junior and senior years in connection
with the University Hospital, Emer'
gency Hospital, the medical dispen.
sery, and the clinical facilities al
ready established.
Last year the medical school hand
led over $4,000 free cases in the out
patient records.

WAR ON BOIL WEEVIL PAYS;
AUTUMN ATTACK Is RESUMED

Oklahoma's war on the Mexican
boil weevil during the fall and win
ter of 1921 and through the spring
and summer of 1922 has saved Okla
home cotton planters at least $24,-
100000.
The estimate is based on the 210,-
600 bale gain in production this year,
as compared with the 1921 produc-
ton, calculating on an average price
of 23 cents a pound for cotton.
That war, as waged by Oklahoma
farmers, consisted of three main lines
of attack: First, destruction of places
of Information during the fall and
winter months; second, reduction of
the acreage planted to cotton; third
the use of early maturing seed and
intensive cultivation during the grow
ing season.
Greatest results, perhaps, are re-
ported from Bryan county where a
1921 production of 1900 bales was
raised this year to $4,000 bales
Every cotton county in the state how
ever, showed gains in output, bring
ing the states total, according to lat
est estimate, 100000 bales more than
the year before.
So, the double lesson Of the last
two years-a $30,000,000 loss in 1921,
when no concerted action was taken
to resist the ravages of the weevil
and a S24,150,000 gain over that
years yield in a season when active
warfare was waged-has convinced
Oklahoma planters that there's pro-
fit in resistance.

CANCEL WAR DEBT

In the course of conference Of
the premiers of England, France,
Italy and Germany held last week,
two grounds were seen for a better
understanding. Foremost of these
was Premier Honar Laws intima-
ton, that under proper conditions,
England would cancel the great war
debt owed her by France, and sec
ond, President Poincare's agreement
with England to give Germany two
year moratorium on her reparations,
with guarantees. France has insis-
ted all along that England cancel
Frances debts to her and England
on the other hand has insisted that
France join her in granting Germany
a moratorium. The two biggest pow
ers of the allies, therefore. appear
nearer an agreement than since the
war.

Will be one of the strongest men in
the state next year if he will ever
get going.
BUCK-A plodder who was always
at it and doing his best. So slow
that he walks faster than he runs,
but he made steady man in the
line.
BEATY-With the idea that he
had an easy opponent in every man
who he opposed he went through the
season at guard position in good
shape. He is light for his work but
no man can put more into it than
Bob.
DENNlSTON - He never went
down in scrimmage without coming
up with a smile. He smiled at his
opponent so much that he finally
quit. He never missed a practice
during the entire season and was
never taken from a game on account
of injury. He is the best trainer in
the south and will try harder to do
what the coach tells him to do than
any man in football. He was as
green as Diffie at the beginning of
the year, but whipped ever man whom
he met.
M. CURRIN-A big boy who is
still too young to find himself. He
worked in the back-field and in the
line. Always doing his best and
training hard. He will be one of the
best men in the state next year.
Feet" was the best utility man that
the Savages had this season.
V. CURRIN-Was shifted from
tackle to end. In this position he was
lost completely at first. Later he
found himself and stopped the oppo-
sition. He is a hard worker and
should be an all-state man next year.
CLEVELAND Got started late
and was Handicapped with injuries.
He worked at tackle and guard. AL
ways on the job and ready to sac
rifice his own for the good of the
team.
FARMER-The midget center of
the conference and the best center
in the conference, if the decision be
left to the people of Durant. He was
in the conflict to the end each time
and though always outweighed he
went through his defense and block
ed punts. He is a wonder at solving
plays.
