Mexican war (Storming of Chapultepec)—Pioneer men
and women of Texas and the newly settled southwest gave
their lives for Texan independence long before the United
States found it necessary to send armed units to their aid and
to declare war. Once the regular armies moved into the hills
of Mexico and seaborne forces invaded the central sectors,
Mexican soldiers retreated steadily but only after hard fight-
ing and many casualties.

Spanish-American war (LaGuasima, Cuba)—“Remember
the Maine'' meant also the memories of 260 sailors who lost
their lives when their battleship blew up in Havana harbor;
panic along the eastern seaboard; the Rough Riders who died
storming Fort San Juan hill and the soldiers who battled
through Cuba's tropical brush and in the Philippines before
Dewey's guns blew the Spanish fleet out of Manila bay and the
Atlantic squadron did the same in Santiago bay.

Civil war (Gettysburg)—Sherman's march to the sea and
Victory came only after four years of heartbreaking war of
dissension among commanders and defeats, such as the two
battles of Bull Run, Leesburg and Shiloh and Cedar Run and
Murfreesborough and Chancellorsville; the two threatened
invasions of Washington and Lee's bold strokes into Pennsyl-
vania, halted only at Gettysburg. It was a tale of victory and
many defeats before peace was won.

Mandatory Law Urged
Mike Donnelly, county commis-
sioner. expressed similar convictions.
"Personally, I'm not in favor of it.”
he said. "The law should have been
made mandatory so there would have
been no question about full participa-
tion. Of course, if daylight saving
becomes general, Oklahoma county
wont hold back, but daylight saving
never has been very popular here."
E. C. Hannan, office manager of the
Western Union, said that in the ab-
sence of orders to the contrary, their
office probably would continue to op-
erate on standard time. Clocks which
they service, however, would be serv-
iced according to the time prevailing
in the area.
Harry Wahlgren, federal weather-
man, recalled that in 1918-19, the
weather bureau kept two sets of rec-
ords and recordings—one on standard
time "for history and posterity" and
one at advanced time for the weather
maps. However, with present restric-
tions on weather data and maps, he
was aaiting orders on what the new
law would mean to his office

Torn between duty and considera-
tion of the times, F. E. Mays, deputy
sheriff, was confronted with a momen-
tous decision when he sighted down
the barrel of his pistol and fingered
the trigger Tuesday.
Duty won out and Mays suddered
a little as he pulled the trigger, send-
ing a bullet into a tire on a speeding
car.
"I sure hated to ruin that man's
tire,” said Mays. "But I couldn't get
the car stopped any other way. Just
ruined that tire. too, and It was the
best one he had on the car. But I
guess it was just as well to ruin the
tire as to take a chance on someone
having a wreck."
Mays and Ross Biggers and Bob
Turner, also deputies, answered a call
to a point near Bethany where com-
plainants reported some Indians were
fighting in a car Mays said he was
unable to stop the car without firing
the shot.
The driver. Jim Standingwater,

companion, Claude Hill. Canton, was
charged with drunkenness. Mays

these. But duty is duty, even in tire

What action Oklahoma—the state
that turned thumbs down on advanc-
ing the date of Thanksgiving—would
take on daylight saving time was a
matter for conjecture Tuesday.
Oklahoma clocks haven't been lying
officially for nearly 23 years. Some
have been fibbing a little unofficially
now and then—but it hasn’t been le-
gal and above board since Oct. 26,
1919, when congress repealed the old
daylight savings law over President
Wilson s veto.
Tuesday. President Roosevelt signed
the new law, advancing the minute
hand on clocks one full circumnaviga-
tion after February 9. The new law
effects all 12 months—not just the
summer, as did the 1918 measure.
Only interstate commerce and federal
agencies are involved; but it is as-
sumed that all states will follow suit.
No Plans Made Here
Although the action has been fore-
cast a month; argued and acted upon
by congress, final presidential ap-
proval apparently found Oklahoma
City a Pearl Harbor.
First group to take definite action j
was the Retailers association, which |
announced through Emmett Barbee. !
executive secretary, that a meeting I
would be called next week to study the
city's participation or rejection of the 1 1
plan. County and city officials said i
they probably would be bound by ac- i
tion of business men, who expressed :
reluctance to approve daylight saving
until they had studied the law and .
how it would affect outside contacts. I
F. G. Baker, acting city manager,
said Tuesday the city's official atti- I
tude depended on what business does. )
"It probably would be more effective I
in some other parts of the country 3
than in this area." he said. "However, -
if it helps defense, we're all out for
the defense program " «

War of 1812 (Battle of New Orleans)—There were bloody
defeats, the surrender of Detroit (retaken only after Perry's
brilliant victory of Lake Erie), the bungled campaign against
Montreal, the burning of Buffalo, Niagara and of Washington,
before victores on Lake Champlain led to peace. And even
then. General Jackson made sure of the very last battle, beat-
ing the British at New Orleans after the peace treaty was
signed.
