U. S. Ensign Is Mistaken
For German Air Officer
TULSA.—Three Tulsa policemen
stopped and questioned an ensign
of the naval recruiting office here,
convinced that his uniform resem-
bled a German air officer.
The officers were told it was none
of their business and were called
“on the carpet” by the chief of
police an hour later for abusing a
naval officer. The ensign, however,
agreed not to carry the matter any
further.
French Refugee Learns
Quickly, Pops Question
TULSA.—Corp. Marvin Dunn,
20-year-old French refugee, is an
apt pupil. When he came to the
%nited States less than a year ago,
he couldn’t speak English. The
young lady next door undertook to
teach him.
Dunn learned enough English to
ask his teacher to marry him.
Miss Oletha Jean Cook accepted.
Organised Boy
Scout Troup’
Arnold “Cheap John ' Greggs
and Hugh McKnight (colored)
have organized a scout troup for
the colored boys at BordersviHe.
Most all the boys have got their
uniforms and are showing inter-
est in the work. They have
taken over the plot of ground
that was intended for a local
defense garden and planted it in
sweet potatoes.
On the 20th of July Cheap
John and McKnight took eleven
of the scouts to the State Con-
vention at Prairie View. The
boys erected their tents, camped,
cooked and ate at the camp for
five days. All through the week
there were lectures for the boys
on Citizenship and Americanism.
