Austin, chairman of the ordinance

the rules be suspended and the or

Introduced this ordinance," said Aus-
tin. "It was prepared and approved
by the ctly attorney, and I carried
it to a number of attorneys and
others and they thought It was all
right." There was no second to the
substitute.
Mayor Stearns remarked that tin

Alderman Williamson: "We get
blamed here for not enforcing pro-
hibition, so let's pass this ordinance
and see what we can do, and if we
get any revenue out of it, we will
be just that much ahead."
Alderman Lain: "We have too
much law already."
Williamson: "All of the ctly of-
ficers from the street commlsslone-
down are being cussed for non-en-
forcement of the prohibition law, so
let us pass this law and go to work
under It."
Alderman Dimmers wondered if the
city could try bootlegging cases.

Had Nothing to Do.
"I had nothing to do with the ordi-
nance, never drew It up, never passed
on it and, in fact, never saw it," said
City Attorney Woods this morning,
when told of Alderman Austin's state-
ment that the ctly attorney had
drawn the ordinance and approved It.
"I never drew the ordinance and
never passed on It," said Assistant
City Attorney Engart, "and know
nothing about it. There was an ordi-
nance handed me some time ago, I
believe, that was supposed to be the
Oklahoma City ordinance, and this
one may be the same one."
These statements are In direct con-
flict "with the statement made by Al-
derman Austin last night. The ques-
tion now Is: Where did the ordi-
nance come from, why such secrecy
about it, and why try to conceal the
fact if it originated with the police
Judge, as is currently reported?

Divorce and Social Progress.
Both sides of the divorce problem
seem to have zenioud champions, and
tbc pros and coti* are likely to be
thoroughly examined before the much
talked of uniformity in divorce law Is
reached. Following upon the recent
publication of the divorce census fig-
ures by the government, the issue has
been clearly defined by eminent ad->-
cates of what art called the old and
the new doctrines of divorce. It Is
tonceded that divorce now terminates
about one-tenth of all the marriages
celebrated In the United States.
From the viewpoint of a sociologist
Professor George Elliot Howard, who
Is the author of an exhaustive study
of matrimonial relations, finds no
-ause for alarm In the Increase of di-
vorce shown by the census. He be-
lieves that the laws have little to do
with the increase in divorce and that
the remedy for the evils resulting
from fnjquent divorce Is "a rational
system of social nnd sex education."
Ilev. Samuel W. Dike, LL. D., repre-
senting the National League For the
Protection of the Family, dissents
from Professor Howard's conclusions
and avows that "the enormous volume
of divorce Is an evil." This conserva-
tive view has an ardent champion in
Mr. W. G. Smith, vt'no Is a commis-
sioner to codify the divorce laws of
Pennsylvania. Mr. Smith's viewpoint
of the whole problem Is that of the
Roman Catholic church—namely, that
religion should cure the domestic Ills
which so frequently lead to thu di-
vorce court.

El Reno, Okla., Oct. 23.—A few
months ago the war department
changed Fort Reno from an army
post and garrison to a remount sta-
tion, wher.  horses are trained for
cavalry service. One thousand horse"
are now under training there and
this week the first shipment of drilled
animals was made when three car-
loads of horses were sent to the mil-
itary school at West Point. With
these horses was sent a splendid bay
horse which has been broken and
drilled for the personal use of Presi-
dent Taft, and which will In a few
days become an inmate of the White
House stables.

New York, Oct. 23.—A campaign
of newspaper, magazine and billboar.l
advertisements, to call the attention
' of the American public to the im-
portance of remedying certain press-
ing social, economic and religious
problems, is to be conducted, begin-
ning with the new year, by certain
Protestant churches of the United
States.

E. D. Cameron has issued a letter
in which he asks for contributions
with which to establish a school in
the state prison at McAlester for the
education of the convicts. Whatever
aid that may be given must come
from philanthropic sources as there
is no provision made by law for such
a school.
Zeke Was Right.
A farmer employed a boy to guard
his strawberry patch from birds. The
berries—famy fruit as big as peaches
—kept disappearing, and the man sus-
pected the boy of eating them. So
one morning he came down to the
patch, looked It over and then said:
"I know you don't touch these berries,
my lad, but Zeke says you do. To-
day I'll test you—Just to convince
Zeke."
He took out a little lump of chalk
and pretended to chalk the boy's Hps,
but renlly it was only his finger that
he rubbed over them. "Now," he said,
"when 1 come down here this after-
noon we'll see who's right about you,
Zeke or I."
And with pretended carelessness he
tossed the chalk on to the ground. On
his return, some hours later. It was
plain who was right. The boy's lips
were chalked with a white, stiff layer
half an inch thick.—Los Angeles Times.
Ancient Concrete.
That the Romans were very familiar
with concrete und gave consideration
to Its use examination of the concrete
work In the forum clearly shows.
Their concrete contained generally
only two kinds of stone, travertine nnd
selcle. In equnl parts. Selcle is a hard,
closely knit rock, very similar to our
bluestone or trap rock in color as well
as quality. Travertine Is a volcanic
rock not so hard as selcle, considerably
lighter In color, and was desirable on
account of its porosity, which insured
a good bond with the cement. In all
the Roman work the combination of
the travertine and the selcle is clearly
distinguishable.—Cement Age.
Ably Defined.
A certain archbishop when asked
whether it was a grievous iie for a
woman to misstate her age replied:
"A lie may be defined as a statement
made by one rational being to another
rational being with the intent to de-
ceive. Now, as no rational being
would think of asking a woman her
ape with the expectation of being an-
swered truthfully, one of the elements
of the lie is lacking, nnd the woman's
statement cannot, strictly speaking, be
defined as such.*'—Judge.
Johnnie's Excuse.
"Why don't you say 'Thank you,'
Johnnie. when you are handed any-
thing ?" said Mrs. Brown at the table.
"Vour sister always says it."
"Yes," replied little Johnnie, "she's
  woman and always wants to have
the last word."—Once a Week.

Carrie's sister May, six years of age,
