ASKED TO INVESTIGATE
WHIPPING OF MINISTER

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 2S.-
Petitions asking Governor Walton
to order a military investigation in
to whippings of Rev. 7. j. Irwin,
Presbyterian pastor of Lawton, were
presented to the executive today by
residents of Comanehe county. The
petition said that hooded and mask
ed mobs slugged, gagged, stripped
and beat Rev. Irwin and left
him by the roadside when he was
thought dead.
Rev. Irwin first attracted nation
al attention when he preached the
funeral sermon over Jake Harmon,
Oklahoma political leader, slain by
Clara Smith.
The petition further states sal
though Irwin appealed to local au-
thorities to find and punish the
criminals no effort has been made
on their part and the prevailing
opinion is that instead of trying to
suppress lawlessness there has been
an effort to shield the law violatofs
and encourage them in their hooded
raids.

would blame me for giving Bunty
the money to buy it."
Uncle Wiggily hoped along and
along and along until he was at
the hollow stump school, and then
he hoped inside where the animal
children were studying and recit-
ing their lessons.
"Oh, good morning, Uncle Wig
gily!" greeted the Lady Mouse
Teacher. "We are very glad to
see you; aren't we children7'
"Yes, teacher, We are very glad
to see Uncle Wiggily!" said all the
animal boys and girls together, like
clocks ticking and tocking.
"Sit down in this chair on my
PLATFORM said the Lady Mouse
Teacher, "and I will have the chill
dren sing song for you. Uncle
Wiggily."
So the rabbit gentleman sat down
in the chair and the children sang.
First they sang the song about
"Once Cheese Was Baited with
Piece of Trap" and after that
they sang "Squinkle, Squinkle, Lit
tie Tar, l Love You No Matter
How Black You Are.' Both very
pretty songs.
But, al the while, Uncle Wiggily
was watching Baby Bunty, for he
feared lest the little rabbit girl
might squirt water from the rubber
ball and SO be kept in after school.
But Baby seemed to be very good
indeed. And once she pointed with
her paw to the top of her desk,
and Uncle Wiggily, looking, saw
the rubber ball asleep there.
81 guess Bunty is going to be
good and not squirt her ball, "
thought Mr.. Longears. Then the
Lady Mouse Teacher sgueaked:
Baby Bunty, you may now stand
up near your desk and recite the
little poem for your Uncle Wig
gily. - SO Bunty recited about

YES, THEY HAVE. NO CARPENTERS

It is curious thing, in view of the widespread
lack Of skilled workmen in the building trades, to
to find that of the big cities is giving up school
for training than 500 boys in carpentry because
the city cannot afford it, The total cost of instruc
ton for the year will be $4,000, of which the city
to pay half. 1t cannot find the $4,000
Anyone would suppose that additional carpenters
would cheap at So apiece, especially carpenters
of the we-educated, wide-awake, ambitious sort pro-
duced by technical high school.
The contractors and union leaders of the city re-
ferred to, who have acted together in the matter,
point out that the school system itself should be
vitally interested in training those boys since 1t Is
such work which will provide the workmen to put UP
the much needed new school buildings.
They remark further that the present school sys-
tenn is directed mainly toward preparing pupils for
college entrance and white collar jobs though sta
tistcs show that the professions can absorb only
per cent of the pupils The rest surely deserve some
kind of special training for what is destined to be
their life work.
Ii is necessary to train boys for mechanical trades
especially the building trades, because the oio aP
prentice system has broken down and the new lnnli-
grafton policy shuts off the supply of trained Euro
pean workmen. Why cannot school boards and trade
unions, cooperating produce new and improved ap-
prentice system?

"Oh, wee! Wee! Squee! Squee!'
howled Floppy. "Oh, Baby Bunty

rubber ball!' he howled.
"Baby Buhtyi Did you do
that9" asked the Lady Mouse
Teacher sadly.
"The worst has happened"

nose trembling.
"Teacher, 1 didn't do it on pur-

"Oh that's. all right, if it was
an accident,' kindly said the Lady
Mouse. "But don t do it again,
Bunty.'
"No M said Bunty. And then
all the other animal children laugh

for the water didn t hurt him, and
so did the Lady Mouse and Uncle

"But surely thought Bunty did
it on purpose" said Mr.. Longears
to Nurse Jane that night.

don pretty, bobbed-haired girl
whose chief delights are TO be a
guest in a big hotel and then
go sightseeing around town in
an ordinary street-bumping

When she IS at home, she lives

goes out, it is to ride in a state
coach or in a big automobile
with uniformed outriders.
She calls a king "papa" and
is on intimate terms with three
queens. In fact she calls one
of them "mama and the other
two "Bessie" and " Marie"
For this favored kid is Ileana,
Princess of Rumania, daughter
of the royal rulers of that eoun-
try and sister of the queens of
Greece and Jugo-Slavia.

Only - and big for her age,
she is already known as the
bost-looking Of all the royal
girls Of Europe. And the gossip

ous sous of royalties, including
the Prince Of Wales.
But the nothing doing'
sign has been hung up not only
by her royal parents, but also
by lleana herself.
One Of the biggest treats her
parents can give her is to let
her come 10 London practically
