MCR ECARS ARE NEEDED
TOR THE SCOUT CAMP
Southwest Bell Telephone Company
Loaned Tents For The Camp.
Others Asked to Volunteer.
Mr. Thos. Rowe of the Boy Scout
organization called the Transcript
from Oklahoma City this morning and
said that through the courtesy of R.
A. Beaird, of the Southwest Bell Tel-
ephone company of Oklahoma, that
company had volunteered to loan
enough tents for the Boy Scout en-
campment near Davis next week.
Mr. Beaird stated that he and the
compai.v are deeply in sympathy with
the idea of the ten day's damp for
boys arid that they wanted to do every-
thing that they possibly could to aid
m giving the boys a good camp. He
said that experience in taking boys
for such a vacation ha* proved very
beneficial, and that every hoy wb -> can
go should be given an opportunity.
Seventy Going.
Sixty-three boys have been listed
as going up to date and seven more
have signified, their intention. The
trip will be for ten days, and to make
the expense as light as possible many
cars and trucks have been offered to
take the boys and the equipment
the camp.
Need Cars.
Mr. Rowe states that several more
cars will be needed, and that anyone
who can spare the cars and the time
for the trip will be welcomed.
If vou want to help the scouts in
this phone the Transcript. Mr. Rowe
and the boys will greatly appreciate
any assistance that the citizens can
give them in this line.
Most of the scouts have been work-
ing during the summer vacation and
have not had the recreation that tb v
are entitled to while not in school.
The general purpose of the Scout or-
ganization is to make better men of
the gfffwmg generation, and this sum-
mer camp is one of the biggest things
•that they do.
Make your preparations to help the
boys make this camp Volunteer at
the service of a car. Phone the tran-
script today, so that Mr. Rowe and
the scout council will know where to
depend on transportation. It will not
be hard for you, and will give the boys
one of the best times of their lives.
CATTLE DAMAGING TREES
The attention of the Transcript
has been called to the fact that
cattle Qeing driven to pasture over
the cemetery road, are damaging
:he trees.
These trees were planted and
cultivated by Mr. L. J. Edwards and
ether Norman people to make the
roadway of the last trip of mortal
man a pleasant way, and should
be taken care of.
Through carelessness or though-
lessness people are allowing these
tree to be damaged while they are
pet too young and too small to take
care of themselves.
We put the matter up to the civic
committee and patriotic Norman
people to help protect these trees
They were put there at consider-
able expense and work, and have
been cared for by the nearby far-
mers for some time, and these peo-
ple certainly have a right to kick
if people do not respect the beauty
of this road, and the trouble it
has been to make it so.
IS NORMAN GOOD
TOWN FOR CHILDREN
Norman People Can Say That It Is;
Let's Show The State How
Gooa It Is.

ary society mpets every Thtirda" af-
ternoon at 3 o'clock in the home of

} We extend a cordial invitation to

W. L. BROOME, pastor.
If Norman people can convince cer-
tain people that this is the best town
in the state to raise children, based
on certain points on which the towns
of the state will be judged by, the Nor-
man Chamber of Commerce has **•
opportunity of winning a prize of
$2,500.
Wouldn't you like to see the Cham-
| ber vet this prize to help make Nor-
i man better.
An announcement in the Oklahoma
News yesterday gives the points on
which towns will be judged in a com-
• ■ o' O' 'ahoma cities, for a
prize of that amount.
In looking c ver the points it is no-
ted that Norman has a good many
of the good things required to com-
pete.
If the Chamber of Commerce is
! backed by the entire citizenship of
j Norman in entering and competing for
this prize, it is believed by many that
we have about the best opportunity
of any city in the state to get away
with the money.
Details of a campaign of this mat-
ter will be worked out, and publicity
given of the plans. The announce-
ment is printed in another column.
Let's get Norman before the state as
the best town in which to raise child-
ren.
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
There will be no services held at
St. Tohn's church on the 22nd and
the 29th of August. The pastor has
been asked to officiate at St. Paul's
Cathedral, Oklahoma City on those
Sundays.
V. C. GRIFFITH
The Purcell Register is planning on
issuing a special fa,ir edition of that
j naoer on September 10th. Advertis-
ing is now being sold for the edition.
Edgar T. Keller is assisting in pre-
paring the copy for the paper.
MINTEER AND CHAPLIN
DRAWS BIG AUDIENCE
Although old friends, Mary Miles
Minfeer and Charlie Chaplin had not
seen each other fro several years un-
til they met recently outside the Real-
art studio cafe, Hollywood. Engross-
ed in talking over old times, they for-
got that their faces and make-up ren-
dered them decidedly conspicuous.
When they did look up, a crowd of
several hundred had gathered. Ma-
chines were blocking the street and
a huge sight-seeing bus was drawn
< close with the chaffeur pointing
them out to his neck-craning passen-
gers.
THE RISE OF THE BATHTUB
The first bathtub in the United
States \\ .is installed in Cincinnati De-
cember 20. 1842, by Adam Thompson.
It was made of mahogany and lined
with sheet lead. At a Christmas party
lie exhibited and explained it and four
guests later took a plunge. The next
day the Cincinnati paper devoted many
columns to the new invention and it
gave rise to violent controversy.
Some papers designated it as an epi-
curian luxury, others called it undem-
ocratic, as it lacked simplicity in its
surroundings. Medical authorities at-
tacked it as dangerous to health.
The controversy reached other cit-
ies and in more than one place medical
opposition was reflected in legislation.
In 1843 the Philadelphia common
council considered an ordinance pro-
hibiting bathing between November
1 and March 15 and this ordinance
failed of passage by but two votes.
During the same year the legisla-
ture of Virginia laid a tax of $30.00 a
year on all bath tubs that might be
set up. In Hartford, Providence,
Charleston and Wilmington, Special
and very heavy water rates were laid
on persons who had bathtubs. Boston
in 1845 made bathtubs unlawful ex-
cept on medical advice, but the ordi-
nance was never enforced and in 1862
it was repealed.
President Millard Fillmore gave the
bathtub recognition and respectability.
W hile vice-president he visited Cin-
cinnati in 1850 on a sturmping tour
and inspected the original bathtub and
used it. Experiencing no ill effects,
he became an ardent advocate and
upon becoming president he had a tub
installed in the White House. The
secretary of war invited bids for the
installation. This tub continued to be
the one in use until the first Cleve-
land administration.

RUCKER'S
MILLIONAIRE CROP GROWS.
There are today 30,000 millionaires
in the United States, an increase of
4,000 in three years, the internal rev-
enue department announced after an-
alysis of the 1919 income tax returns.
Sixteen thousand had incomes rang-
ing from $50,000 to $75,000, and 162
had over a million dollar income.
It is disclosed that approximately
4.000,000 heads of families filed in-
come ta xreturns, half of which rep-
resented families whose annual in-
come was $2,000 or less.
It should not be overlooked in fair-
ness to the 20,000 who belonged to
the millionaire class, that with the 50
per cent purchasing power of the dol-
lar many of them may be only half
millionaires at that. There is always
something to take the joy out of life.
