Berger Elected
Milwaukee, Wis.. Dec. 20—Victor
L. Berger, socialist candidate for
congress, was re-elected to represent
the Fifth district at the election held
in this city on Thursday, his ma-
jority over Bobtnstab, his republican
opponent, being 4,806. Berger, it
will be remembered, was elected in
1918, bot was refused his seat in
Congress because of the fact that he
had been convicted of conspiracy
against the government and was un-
der sentence of twenty years, a sen-
tence which is still hanging over him.
It is very probable Congress will
again refuse to seat him, in which
case the district will be unrepresent-
ed in Congress, Gov. Phillips declar-
ing he will not call another election.
Berger's majority this time is 2,000
more than in 1918.

"Shoppers' Helpers"
J iicse busy days don't you often get mighty tired
of trying to carry a dozen and one different little pack-
ages home? W e wondered how the women went shop-
ping in other countries and we asked one of the doctors
who was in Prance—he said, "Why, they all carry mar-
ket baskest with them—nice looking little shopping bas-
kets." *
So we have ordered a supply of these "shoppers'
helpers" which we are selling for 45c, 55c and 65c. They
are very attractive and so handy. Just drop in and pur-
chase one when you order your Christmas dinner grocer-
ies and when you go from store to store you can carry
many and varied little purchases with you without fear
of leaving one some place and having to go back and
hunt for it. No tired arms and tried temper when you
get home—they'll all be in the basket and you'll still
have the basket for the next shopping excursion.
We might add that we have supplied almost two
hundred Norman homes with Christmas trees this year
—just another example of our thoughtful service for our
customers.
And we are going to be thoughtful again and re-
main open until 9 o'clock every night including Monday,
I uesday and Wednesday evenings—if you are busy all
day, drop in on your way home from "work and select
your Christinas dinner. W'e will be closed all day
Christmas so that our clerks mav enjoy their Christmas
too. «•

Mr. Caivert, who was a milk in
spector and lived near Stop 21, south
of Moore, was in Norman Monday
morning and took the 8:40 north-
bound car for Oklahoma City. He
was at the Barker Lumber compa-
ny's office just before leaving.
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Marsh Calvert and well and most
favorably known here. His death re-
sulted from internal injuries, his
breast being crushed in. When tak-
en from the wreck he was still breath-
ing, but died on the way to the hos-
pital.
All the passengers were more or
less seriously injured, but the most
of lliem merely cut bv glass or
bruised by coining in contact with
the seats in front of them.
Motorman Expected to Die.
David Zenor, motorman on the
passenger car, had his leg broken and
received other serious injuries, while
the motorman on the milk car had
his leg crushed and amputated just
above the knee and is not expected
to recover.
Others seriously injured were Frank
and Pink Workman of Tuttle, John
Singleton of Oklahoma City and
Chas. Hettig of Moore.
Fred Reed, of Reed and Foster,
Norman, was a passenger on the
south-bound car, but escaped with a
skinned nose and several minor bruis-
es. He says he was sitting, reading,
when all at once he found himself on
the floor, having struck the back of
the seat in front of him with his
nose.
Women were screaming and chil-
dren crying, with blood running down
their faces, and pandemonium reigned
until it was quieted down when it
was found none were seriously hurt.
Car Almost Telescoped.
Almost all the passengers escaped
with small cuts and numerous bruis-
es. The windows of the car were
smashed into smithereens and the
flying glass caused many cuts.
The two cars came together with,
such force that when stopped the
passenger car was on top of the milk-
car half its length.
The passenger coach was a steel
car, which undoubtedly saved the lives
of its occupants. The heavy steel
car completely shattered the lighter,
wooden milk car.
No warning whatever was given,
say the passengers, the accident hap-
pening right now," and being over
before anyone knew what hit them.
J. W. Billings, of the Liberty the
atre, was passing the scene of the
accident just when it occurred and
assisted in taking care of the passen-
gers and injured men on the null:
car. He says it was a iirueome
