1 hey Are Serious.
It is not a lark that these young
ladies are engaged iu and they don't
wear unionalls just because they
think it is "smart." Iu tho first
place mere than half of the ciass
members have relatives with the
American Expeditionary Forces cr in
the service on tho high seas and they
are rearing to go across and he'p
out. if they are ever needed. In the
second 1'ace they don the male at-
tiro because it is convenient. Also
woe be unto the "Johnnie" who seeks
to pull tho "lounge Iizzard" stinT
hang over the back garage gate ai.d
attempt to engage the girls in con-
versation. In such case he promptly
and without warning feels the heavy
hand of one of thj regular garage
mechanics who are acting as instruc-
tors or more definitely speaking he
feels the heavy impact of a number
eleven shoe and he leaves there.
The organization of the class was?
brought about shortly after the indus-
trial cards had been signed. It was
seen that a number expressed a de-
sire to "go across" as ambulance or
truck driveis but in the majority
of cases they were shy the practical
knowledge of a car. Mrs. Orin Ash-

precipitation in
Chickasha was 1 . "i ." inches.
The rain started at about 10
o'clock here and was accompanied
in its first stages by a sharp thunder
storm but within half an hoi.i
things had settled down to a steady
all-night session and Chickasha was
lulled away to the best night's sleep
that lias been had around these parts
since the wet spring of '67.
