NEWS FROM ALL OVER
An urgent appeal for aid to relieve
the stricken people of Halifax has
been issued. It is estimated it will
take from $20,000,000 to $25,000,009
for immediate relief and reconstruc-
tion.
According to the report of C. C.
Hammonds, state fire marshal, $25,-
435 worth of cotton was destroyed by
fire in Oklahoma during November
and $10,000 worth of damage do e
to cotton gins.
Tulsa grocers have installed the
cash system and many of them have
cut out free delivery. A drastic cut
on price of potatoes was announced
Saturday, the spuds dropping 40
cents per bushel.
MANY POSITIONS
OPEN TO WOMEN
Registration open for service is be-
ginning this week. The purpose is to
give every woman in the country such
service as she is best fitted for. It is
purely voluntary. No woman will be
taken from her home for government
services. Only those will be asked to
register who can give service, paid or
unpaid, to the government. Thousands
of women are wanted for war jobs.
From every city in the east conies the
report of the greatly increased use
for woman's service. Women are go-
ing into steel mills. One railroad re-
cently reported that it was employing,
two thousand three hundred and sixty
women, all substituting in men's
places, and bankers of the eastern
cities have agreed for the most part
that there are few positions in their
institutions which women can not fill.
The government is in most need of
stenographers and typewriters in
their offices.
The plan of the registration for
Norman and Cleveland county has not
been fully worked out, but the plan
and place will be announced soon. The
Womans* Committee is trying to get
committees appointed for the differ-
ent departments of its work. Some
new chairmen have been appointed
but owing to lack of the response to
the call for women from the different
clubs, it is impossible to appoint the
full committee. Only three clubs re-
sponded. Now we are going to make
a call for volunteers. The Womens'
Committee of the Council of Defense
is not opposing any useful war work
done by organizations or individuals.
It only asks their co-operation. The
question has been asked, "Who ap
pointed it?" It was appointed by the
Council of National Defense in Wash-
ington, with Dr. Anna Howard Shaw
as general chairman. Its purpose is a
body of women officially created for
the purpose of organizing and co-or-

dinating for war work the women
power of America.
The government found it impractic-
able to deal separately and individual-
ly with each organization of women,
so created this committee as a central
official body to be a clearing house
for the women to work through in
this war, and to provide the govern- j
ment with a single channel through
which they might carry on certain
war work. The first work the govern-
ment called upon the women to do was i
the Food Pledge Campaign for the |
Food Administration, and we are glad
to note that Oklahoma was in the lead
in this great wo?!-, and that the meat-
less and when. dnvs are bringing
results. We hope tl-e e i- not a home
in Cleveland county that is not fol-
lowing the requests of Mr. Hoover in
not only wlieatless and meatless days,
but doing away with refreshments
served at social functions.
Some of the committees that have
been appointed are Food Administra-
tion, chairman, Norman, Mrs. Eagle-
ton; Moore, Mrs. Decker; Noble, Mrs.
Dodson; Lexington, Mrs. Keller. Like
chairmen have been appointed in the
country, some of which are Mrs. F. L.
Hill, chairman District 15; Mrs. Paul
Lessly, District 24; and others in the
Southern part of the county.
Mrs. Jas. I. Tucker is chairman of
Child Welfare for Cleveland county,
with Prof. Edwards as a member of
the committee. Department of Main-
tainence of Existing Social Service,
Cheadle, with members from differ-
ent parts of the county. "Health and
Recreation," for the county, Mrs. J.
W. Bridges, chairman. "Home and
Foreign Relief" for county, Mrs. Fos-
ter, with the executive members of the
Patriotic Mothers club as nulnbers.
Other units of this department may
be organized aver the country. One
of the most important committees is
the Food Production and Economic .
chairman for Norman, Mrs. A. .I.
Thoes. The Food Administration com-
mittees in the country districts will
have charge of this department also.

pointed a teacher of the 4th grade in
the East side schools and assumed her

Hobart, Lone Wolf, Gotebo and
Roosevelt all report they are destitute
of coal, and as there is little wood in
that locality the suffering is in-
tenes.
"I am no lover of tobacco in any
form," testifies Mrs. Ben L. Mickel,
writing in the Soldier Clipper, "but to
me this great hurrah raised against
tobacco for the soldiers is silly, sense-
less twaddle and bespeaks a narrow-
ness of mind that is almost unbe-
lievable. Talk to the old boys of the
Civil war. They will tell you that on
the long marches and on nights of
sentry duty tobacco meant a lot to
them." \
Switzerland has virtually abolished j
the 8-hour laboring law, machanics
and laborers being now asked to work
ten hours Lack of fuel and power is ]
given as the reason; one day of ten
hours taking the place of two 8-hour i
shifts. The scarcity of labor is also a |
problem.
