Phonea 160 and 270 PawhuskaFrom indications it looks as though the hue and cry against
ocean-flying will bear fruit, and that when congress re-convenes
it will be urged to give the matter attention. We have heard
numerous Pawhuskan’s express themselves as unable to see any
reason for fool-hardy flights, or what more can be accomplished
now that we have found the Atlantic can be crossed by plane.
We believe this same sentiment is becoming pretty general all
over the United States.
Several lives lost in the Pacific in recent weeks and a dozen
lost in the Atlantic since Lindbergh achieved success makes up
a deplorable toll. The year 1927 is passing into history as the
one when a modem miracle was accomplished—that of flying
across the sea. But it will also be recorded as the one in which
many perished in trying it. Lindbergh warned against trying it
without everything being favorable, and insisted that always an
experienced navigator should be along. Yet offers of money
prizes and the promise of fame is proving too much of a tempta-
tion and almost anyone who can fly a plane now imagines he can
make the trip.
Nothing is being added to our store of knowledge nor to our
happiness by these tragic attempts- Neither is science being ad-
vanced. It seems to us that the protests are justified, and that
it is high time congress outlawed the giving of prize money for
Hights and passed strict regulations covering all future attempts.

Oklahomans are going to the Nat-
ional Dairy Exposition at Memphis,
October 15-22 in force, Dr. I). P. Trent,
director of Extension of the Univ, of
Oklahoma has just announced. “It is
the first and probably the last time
this great dairy show will ever be so
near to us” Dr. Trent says. "Owing
to the interest and possibilities in
dairy development in Oklahoma the
people of the state should participate
in the Exposition in an organized way.
Dr. A. C. Baer, head of the dairy de-
partment o fthe state A. & M. College
has been instrumental in a large way
in the success of the Exposition. It
was his suggestion that all the South-
ern states show their dairying possi-
bilities by an immense exhibit and
Oklahoma will have a part.
The Frisco and Rock Island rail-
roads will run special Pullmans for
parties made up along their lines. The
Rock Island will start as many Pull-
mans at Oklahoma City
ranged for.
Pullman at Ardmore, one at . '<>n
and one at Enid to accomodate the
travel. The Pullmans will Ik,use the
Oklahomans during the 3-<ia> stay,
thus saving the cost of hotel rooms.
For the round trip the expense, (in-
cluding Pullman) will be about ■ 35
with 25 persons lo the car. Anyone
not on the lines can join the parties
at any point along the road by mak-
ing advance arrangements.

According to word recently received at the P. whuska po-t-
l office from Washington, more than $600,000 was isted in 1926

lightened age, and yet spending almost a million <:,> !< :s a y ar
; lor something that doesn’t do a penny’s w< rth of good. Is there
I any sense in such waste when a few dimes spent with a job print-
er for neatly printed return cards will prevent any piece of mail
from going astray? Where $600,000 is involved, and some of that
probably out of your own pocket, it is a matter worth studying
over.Kentucky is breaking into print now with the proud boast
that she has set the other 47 states a good example in law-mak-
ing. A year ago her legislature passed what is known as the
“anti-gossip law.” It provides a fine or imprisonment, or both,
in cases wherein a man or woman is found guilty of circulating
false and malicious reports about another. The fine is from $10
to $100 for each offense, and anyone who can furnish proof that
reports detrimental to their character are being circulated can
make a case against the one doing the gossiping.
The law is said to have worked perfectly during the first
year it has been on the statue books. Several have been fined
under it. But the best part of it is that it served to break hun-
dreds of others of the gossiping habit.
In view of this result it might be a good idea for our own
state legislature to take similar action. We’ve many gossips as
they have in eKntucky. As much as we regret it, we’ve few
too many right around Pawhuska. J"
broken by malicious tale-bearing; more homes ruined by scandal-
mongers than almost any other on ething. If a law will reduce
it, then it is one law that every honest, self-respecting citizen will
endorse. Every town suffers more than it should through gossip.
If a preventive has been found, let’s get hold of it without further
loss of time.
While we’re on the subject of “how times have changed”
why doesn’t someone point to the rapid disappearance of the old
family albums that used to have a place in almost every home?
The old albums, with the red or green plush covers, may be gone
forever, but they have in a way been replaced by the little “snap-
shot’ ’albums. Now we have kodah pictures of the family and
friends instead of “tintypes.” /

now making movie cameras and reproducing machines for in-1
dividual use. Older residents of Pawhuska may miss the “tin-
type” albums, but their sons and daughters never will- They will
sooner or later grow used to seeing pictures of father and mother,
or grandpa, lashed on a screen in their own homes and the homes
- Everyone agrees that more of the neighbor-. It’s a mighty fast age we’re living in. and
