himself are leaders, great In their pro'
fesslon."
A neat looking old gentleman trip-
ped into the office of the Evening
Derrick last night with an enthusias-
tic smile on his face.
"I just wanted to tell you what
wonderful schools you have in Drum-
right," he said by way of introducing
himself, and by way of explanation lie |
said he was Dr. bcroggs. Dr. J. W.
Scroggs is head of the extension di-
vision of the university and he 1'
personally directing the work here
"I remember when I heard that
'rench had accepted ti o^.r to go
to Drumright, I thought he was do- j
Ing a very foolish thing," said Dr
Scroggs. French was then anrt Is now |
one of the biggest men in the state in
educational matters. He knows things
and he Is a great organizer 1
thought Drumright was a little place
tn a mud hole—about 1500 people per-
haps, and I couldn't understand what
in the world he meant by burying
himself in a mud hole where there
■were no schools to speak Of, as I
thought.''
'And this morning I see it nil," con- ^
tinued the little University Doctor. ' I j
have had ti rov elation; s hava seen the
work o* Mr French. Now 1 know
that he was far sighted enough to sea
that he could probably accomplish
more in such a place as Drumright,
with all the possibilities in the world
before it. and all the wonderful opto-
mism and power of development of a
town In the making, than if he hi'-i
stayed at the head of some of o.ir In
stltutions of learning that was al-
ready recognized and had already
come to maturity "
Dr. Scrppigs mentioned a few of the
departments of the High School that
he had visited. He had not seen all
departments. The art department
came in for words; of praise. "Do you
know, there are many universities
that would be proud to be able to put
on display the work of the art de- j
partment of your high school," said
the Doctor. That Is just what he satd.
And speaking of the head of anoth-
er department ir. the High School, or
rather of the head of this department:
"I knew him in University," said
Dr. Scroggs, ''and he is a genius
There are a dozen different things he j
can do, and ho excells in every ono
of them. I am sure you' do not ap-
preciate what a wonderful man you
have at the head of your department
of music." H.? was speaking of Jim
Brill.
"I'm quite sure the rest of the staff
is just as excellent," he added, ' be-
cause I know that Mr. French's great
S0TH0R0N IS GIVEN
NEW LEASE ON LIFE
Gray and Light Beifl# In
Variety of Tone*.
FORMAL OPENING OF
NSTI1U1E HELD LAST
NIGHT AK.. .
SPEAKERS WERE INTRODUCED
TO PEOPLE OF DRUMRIGHT;
TWO VALUABLE TALKS
Without Spitball Brown Pitcher
Was Failure.
Regain of Confidence Make* SL Louit
Tosaer Think That Former Skill
Has Returned—Held Cardl-
nals to Four Hit*.
Allan Sotlioron, Brown pitcher, Is
blooming again. He's got his spitball
and his old confidence back.
Giving spltballers a continued lease
on life meant more to Sothoron pos-
sibly than to any other of the 10 ma-
jor league pitchers now- qualified to
use the moist delivery. Without the
spitball Sothoron was a failure.
He was started against the Cleve-
land Indians in the opener last year
without his spltter. They peppered
Allan Sothoron.
An amusing fact, despite the preva
lent belief that America looks to Paris
for fashion hints, is the complete ab-
sence in the wardrobe of any well-
dressed Frenchwoman of the ublqui
tous white glace kid glove of America
(jlace kid gloves are only worn in I'ar
Is when they are black and of gaunt
let mousquetalrt' or 20-button cut, ami
these as well as evening glovea, of any
cut or color, have been sacrificed to
the prevailing vogue of enorraoua
• •ubochon rings.
In place of white gloves, which al-
ways Increase the apparent stie W the
hands and are so frequently In-
congruous with the remainder of the
toilette, the Frenchwoman's taste In
stlnctively turns toward the lovely
suede gloves In pearl-gray and light
beige, In a variety of tones, each one
only removed from another In a vary-
ing degree.
Practically all the chic gloves devel-
oped In color are In suede and have
very fine stltchings in self-tone, black
suede being peculiar to mourning in
France. The popular lengths are
gauntlet and mousquetaire. the latter
sometimes having such intriguing de
tails as scalloped or pointed tops and
narrow bands or motifs of cut steel
head embroidery. For an example,
block glace kid gloves are embroidered
with a fairly open triangle of cut steel
beads, quite close to the scalloped
••lige. Another pair shows the steel
bead embroidery in diamond shape
the back of the hand. Worn with these
gloves was a small hat of white leather
embroidered with the same pattern in
jet bends.,
The gauntlet glove lends itself more
readily to variation In that It can be
amazingly lined and edged. When you
line a beige suede glove with black
! moire and edge the same with a very
narrow hut rich silver galloon you have
a chic accessory to the simple black
dress, which is the rage of the moment.
The color of the lining is by no means
limited to black, because you may find
beige lined with rose, green and rust;
pearl gray lined with peacock blue,
and black glace lined with rust, or
with gold and white brocade, or with
gold cloth.
veral hundred people were treat
ed to two highly valuable talks last
night at the high school auditorium
when the Community Institute form-
allv commenced by community sing
ing under the leadership of Mr.
Twichell. Other members of the staff
who Were introduced we're Mrs.
Margaret Yost, Miss Turner, Dr.,
Scrogs, Mrs. Sander and Mr. McAfee
Praise lor the work already done
and outlined here along the lines of
community health, was given by Dr.
Winnie Sanger of Oklahoma City,
who with Miss Turner, former Red

unable to send Mr. Brown, junior
member of their firm, sent instead
Mr. Whitten, another member of the
firm, former secretary of the Okla
homa City retail dealers' association,
who promised cooperation and ad
vice on all business problems at the
Friday roundtable conference.
"Complete Living" was the sub-
ject of an able Informal address by
Dr. Scroggs, director of the exten-
sion division o fthe University of Ok-
lahoma and director of the Institute.
The plea of Dr. Scroggs was for each
individual of a community to develop
within himself the four sides of the
race: to exist, to be happy, to be
wise, and to live at peace with his
fellowman.
"We have advanced so rapidly."
declared Mrs. Yost in a short talk,
"that wr have not born fully able to

"Cooperative Living" was Mr. Mc-
Afee's subject, wlhlcli shared with
Dr. Scroggs in outlining the ideal
which the institute is striving to as-
sist each community in attaining.

him off the hill. Later In the season
he was reinstated (is eligible to throw
the wfet ball, but he made a poor come-
back. That one game turned him
from a winning pitcher into a loser.
His pitching average for 1920 was
.324 as against .625 for the year be-
fore, when he used his pet delivery all
season.
"When Cleveland beat me In that
game I got the idea ill my head that
I wasn't there as a pitcher without a
spitball," says Sothoron. "1 had de-
pended upon It too much. The spit-
ball Isn't the only ball I throw, but it
tits into my system.
"After that disastrous game with
the Indians I couldn't regain my old
confidence, even after they gave me
my spltter hack. Confidence Is a thing
that any winning pitcher must have.
"A pitcher might have a fadeaway
ns good as Mathewson's, the speed of
Walter Johnson and the control of
Pabe Adams, but unless he thinks he
rjn master the batters who face Mm
be Is helpless. I'm going to be all
right again this year."
The tact that Sothoron held the
Cardinals to four hits and beat them
in an exhibition game indicates he is
his old self.
With the apparent comeback of
Sotlioron the Browns' pennant chances
are looking up.

MANY STYLES OF FOOTWEAR
Gorgeous Brocaded Black Satin and
Variety of Other Slippers to
Please All Tastes.
Seldom since the Middle Ages when
shoes bad pointed toes so long that
often they were looped up and
fastened at the knee lias footwear as-
sumed so many and varied modes. It
would seem that the designers had
ransacked their brains to produce un-
usual and charming effects in shoes
and slippers.
(jeorgeous brocaded evening slip-
pers In vivid tangerine fashioned in
sandal effect, with high thin French
heels, and straps which fasten with
tiny jeweled buckles; or metallic bro-
caded slippers with low heels just
like those worn by children, and with
straps of the brocade: or slippers of
ruby or French blue velvet, for strong
colors are for the nonce preferred to
black, all may be seen displayed in
the footwear section of tie- various
stores and shops.
Black satin slippers with green
satin heels and jade green buttons are
in vogue while for ports wear red
calf Is splendid, fringed tongues which
pass over the tops of such slippers
und down the front being considered
very smart. Other sport combina-
tions consist of white buckskin with
brown or red calf vamps and straps.
Really the new spring shoes rival the
new spring millinery in interest
So, take it all in all. one can readily
see that quite as much attention Is
being paid at pre.._'nt to the peilal ei
tremlties as there is to the head.
