This marks the end of several years
effort on the part of the various pas-

local church in arriving at some feas-

in the University City.
Owing to the large number of
members on the East side, it was de-
cided to keep the present church
building and improve it. The new
church building will be two blocks

Jas. D. Maguire, Jr., who has been
attending the Catholic college at
Shawnee, returned home last Thurs-
day.
That the need for such a building
is now greater because of the war, is
pointed out by the men behind it who
state that since all college students
are being urged to stay in school and
finish their coures as soon as possi-
ble. The University of Oklahoma
does not expect a great decrease in
its student body next fall. Also it
is stated this co-operative plan will
save the students from $1 to $1.75
per week on their board in spite of
the advanced prices in foods.
The architects' drawing of the
building which has been on display
in Administration hall shows it to
be a 3-story brick with basement.

Norman on that occasion this year,
and it is hoped that we will have the
biggest and best ever held in the city

It is the duty of every one to boost
the proposition along and help to
make it a celebration in fact as well
as in name. It can be done and it
should be done.
Only a few weeks until the 4th, and
it is now time to begin making pre- j

will appeal to them and cause them to
want to return to Norman at sim-
ilar occasions in the future, and in
fact we want to entertain them in a
way that they should be entertained. i

Eric L. Castile, the assistant Coun- j
ty Agent of Osage county returned
from Oklahoma City to Pawhuska
Monday a benedict, having married
Miss Dona Pitts of Norman. The
bride is a graduate of the Oklahoma
State University with the class of
1916 and has been teaching domestic
science in the Tuttle high school the
past year. She is a sister of Miss
Marvel Pitts who taught in the Paw-
huska high school the past year. Mr.
and Mrs. Castile are temporarily
domiciled at 510 Seventh St.
Mr. Castile came here from the j try force for the past two days. These

The ninth summer session of the
University of Oklahoma promises to
open with an enrolment of more than
1000, an increase of two hundred over
that of last summer. This conclusion
is based on the rate of enrolment on-
Saturday and Monday and upon pre-
vious estimates made by Registrar
Errett R. Newby.
A continual stream of students,
many enroling in the university for
the first time, has besieged the regis-

"Take a personal interest in
every telephone call"
THE present wide-spread interest in telephone courtesy as
a good-will builder has led to many excellent suggestions
from subscribers for the improvements of telephone
habitg.
One of the most important rules that has been developed
and adopted by a number of large business houses is: "Take
a personal interest in every telephone call you handle/'
To please a customer over the telephone is a very aifferent
matter from pleasing him over the counter. But it is not a
more difficulfmatter.
Employees who are encouraged to try to "see" their tele-
phone customers; who are taught to give every call courteous
attention; and who are urged to avoid the abrupt, brusque or
perfunctory attitude that is so harmful to good-will, soon be-
comes skilled in handling telephone calls quickly and courte-
ously.

minor injuries, as a result of an auto-
mobile accident near Norman Mon-

at the crossing south of the sanitar-

bound, was struck by a Willis-Knight

at the side of the road made it impos-

DEATH OF MRS. JENKINS
News reached Norman Sunday of
the death of Mrs. A. E. Jenkins, who
died at her home in California, that
' lay. She was a daughter of Mr. J. F.
Denison, of this city, and was well
and favorably known here. She was
, a tery successful teacher in our
schools for some years before her
marriage to Mr. Jenkins a couple of
years ago.
A child was born to them two
weeks ago, and puerperal fever de-
veloped, which was the cause of her
death.
j it was only after some time that he
j was rescued. At the time of the ac-
| cident, his ribs appeared to be
| crushed in against his heart, but they
! have now been restored to their nor-
l mal position and aside from his pain-
! ful injuries his condition appears
hopeful. He is being taken care of
j at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rea
! Lindsay.
i Although their injuries are not
dangerous, Mrs. Austin and Miss Lil-
| lian have been suffering from the ac-
cident. But at a late hour their morn-
ing they were reported as resting
nicely. They are being taken care of
at the home of.Mrs. Austin's brothel', j

TENNIS COURTS BUSY
The tennis courts are not to go idle

Monday afternoon. Practically every
court was in use at one time and all
