PEOPLE OF NORMAN
INVITED TO ATTEND
Procession Will Form on Boyd

to Flagpole in Oval.
Between eight and nine hundred
university men will be inducted into
the students' army training corps
Tuesday, when the formality of in-
duction will be observed on the uni
versity campus at 11 a. n;. with a
flag raising and a procession of the
candidates for entrance into the S.
A. T. C. As yet it is impossible to
estimate the complete enrollment, as
reports on the physical examinations
of the men have not yet been made
Eighty students have joined the na-
val unit, which is to be trained at the
university.:
The last of the physical examina-
tions were given Monday. Medical
men who have charge of the exami-
nations say that the physical qualifi-
cations of the men are exceptionally
high and that the men disqualified
will average about 3 per cent of the
men examined. In the opinion of the
officers this is very high when it is
considered that the regular physical
examinations for the army are being
given the men under the supervision
of army doctors. A list of those who
passed has not been made pubiic by
officers.

tween Asp and DeBarr avenues. At

PECAN SHELLS ARE NOT
NEEDED BY IT. S. ARMY
Pecan shells are not proper mater-
ial for producing carbon used in the
manufacture of gas masks, according
to information sent out by the na-
tional council of defense to the state
chairmen, and from them to the
county chairman. The local chapter
of the Red Cross, and the Cleveland
county council of defense have been
receiving letters from their head-
quarters requesting the preservation
of nut shells and fruit pits.
Pecan shells are the only things
mentioned which do not produce the
carbon for making gas masks. A copy
of a letter which has just been re-
ceived from the council of national
defense concerning the saving of
fruit pits, etc., has just been sent out
to Dean Roy Gittinger. chairman of
the county council of defense.

PARIS, Sept. 30.—Bulgaria is out of the war.
Ready to Buy Bonds—H. P. Meyer,
who is in Kansas City, sent a tele-
gram to Clyde Pickard. chairman of
the fourth liberty loan committee,
saying that he understood that the
fourth loan campaign began Satur-
day, and that if Mr. Pickard would
send him a statement of hig" appor-
tionment in bonds, he would send the
money for them. Mr. Meyer said j
that he regretted not being able to be
in Norman when the campaign began.

what you in the city owe it to your
country to give. Let us reverse this

campaign, and see that the city man

This admonition uttered to a group
of liberty loan county executives by 1 ]H)t political QUeStionS.

"Oklahoma is the only state in the

"Live, love and laugh—and do
things worth while" is the striking
title under which J, W. Billings, man-
ager of the Liberty theatre, is to-
day introducing a new daily feature
in his advertising in the Transcript.
Here Mr. Billings wil print a philoso-
phical saying or sentiment to which
people will naturally turn each day.
This innovation in advertising, Mr.
Billups believes, will interest people
and at the same time give them
something worth while to think
about.
Students Itemain in Quarters—Ow-
ing to the fact that cots and bedding

til further orders. Although the boys
will be inducted into students' army
training corps Tuesday, they cannot
