THE DEMAND FOR YOUNG MEN

In view of the general impression that the professions are greatly over crowded, it is surprising to learn tbat some of the leading railroads of the country are finding much difficulty in securing properly qualified young men to fill subordinate positions on the engineering staff One road in particular has recently gone so far as to make the fact known in the pub lie press, and to invite communication from young men who have passed through technical schools and pos sess the necessary qualifications to enable them to commence work as rodmen and chainmen, or do the sim pier instrumental work connected with the construction and mainten- ance of railroads. It was further stated that the remuneration would be sufficient to enable these men to maintain themselves at once in decen- cy and comfort, and that for those who showed aptitude and application there was reasonable expectation of early promotion Further evidence of the excellent opening afforded by the present industrial activity is found in the fact that, ill one of the leading technical colleges of the country. ev- cry member of the graduating class of 1906 had secured an appointment some months before the close of the college year. The demand for tech nically qualified men in railroad work has unquestionably been stimulated by the recognition of the fact that the increase in the capacity and weight of the motive power and rolling stock, and the demand for more intelligent supervision due to the introduction Of electric traction on steam roads, is rendering it desirable that not only the engineering department, but also those which have to do with the main
 tenance and operation of the road should be run by men with sufficient technical knowledge, with sufficient training in natural science, to enable them to exercise a more intelligent oversight of their departments than !S possible i'll the case of men whose theoretical knowledge is bounded by the limits of common school edu- cation.-Scientific American.

 wealth. Judge Gould has worked often and labored faithfully in be- half of good roads in this state aid since the convening of the !cgisla ture has spent much of his own money making trips to and from Little Rock and in creating interest in behalf of such legislation. it is a sad disappointment to the SoOd road advocates throughout this sec tion of the state that the legjsla- ture failed to enact the badly needed law When Mir. Newton called up the bill, Judge Van Hook declared that the bill had only been read once, and not twice, as sliowE by the endorsement. i'he speaker had previously dec1arel that the contention of Judge Van Hook was right and refused to change his decision. MT. Balch of Pulaski be- iAN'Su CioC CIlC iCSOluS COu1d Itta DC disregarded. MT. Pinney moved thae the rules be suspended and the bil taken up. The motion carried and the speaker ordered the bill read a second and third time, despite the fact that records show that the bill had been read three times a week ago.
 Under the measure all prisoners in the county jails can be used for road work. When application is made to the county court, he shall turn over all misdemeanor and vagrancy prisoners to the road over seers for work on the highways. but all work shall be done under the direction of the county judge. On application to the circuit judge the prisoners convicted from Desha. Lincoln and Jefferson county can be withdrawn from the penitentiary

The details of the bill are the same as those of the Abercrombie bill,.
 Mir. Pinney explained that the measure would withdraw only about thirty convicts. He stated that Jefferson county had lots of rock on hand and wanted the conyicts in order to give the state pfac- tical demonstration of what can be done with convicts on the roads of the state
 Mr, Black of Marion was opposed to the bill. He argued that the Dickinson contract called for about $50 convicts, and under this bill Desha, Jefferson and Lincoln coun- ties would be exempted from their quota. Mir. Smothers declared that this measure repealed by implica- tion the act which provides for the working of convicts on state ac- count and was therefore unconsti- tutional.
 MT. Killough favored the meas ure, although he did not believe it was a good idea under ordinary circumstances. He thought the bill ought to be passed as an experi- ment to let the people have a prac- tical demonstration of what can be
 
 labor
 MT. Stevens believed that bills or this nature would depopnlate the state farm, for which $45,OO0 had just been appropriated.
 MT. Oldham objected to the meas ure because it required the white men and negroes to work side by side.

TRIUMPHANT MARCEL WAVE.

Whatever new feminine VaGary may mark the encroachments of the 1905 fashions, the decree has gone forth that the Marcel wave is to continue in it's inspirtional ascendancy. The promulgation of this important edict bears the authoritative seal Of the Association of Ladies Hairdressers of America and therefore is not to be doubted or questioned. It is not with in masculine conception to place an dorsement and, in truth, it is not given to man to understand much about these things. It is extremely doubtful doubtful if one man in a hum dred could pick out a Marcel wave if it lay directly under his eye. About all his dull intellect realizes is that The Most Beautiful Woman in the World is crowned with a glorious til- igree or golden or black or brown hair done in mysterious twists called a coitfeur.
 It IS interesting to note HOW tHe Marcel wave defied extinction at the hands of the Association of Ladies Hairdressers of America. According to the Kansas City Journal. an eXhi- bition was held in the Murray Hall Iyceum, New York. In this ball were arranged twenty-four dressing tables At each tableewas beautiful girl se- lected by e model committee which had s rched for subjects in al the five boa hghs of Greater New York. To @ .h subject" was assign

ed an expert coiffeuse. A man re- porter who poked his inquisitive noss into this paradise of loveliness de- scribed his heeting vision thus:
 "Blond hair was fuffed and puffed
 and curled; black hair was braided
 and twisted into intricate shapes that
 defied any attempts at imitation. Gray hair was drawn over cushions and ar
 ranged in Marie Antoinette puffs- ten of them on each side-and embel- lished with pale blue ribbon and pink
 roses" That is as far as the report
 CT got.
 We learn from another authority that one of the distinct 1908 styles of hair dressing will be called La Gree, ' "eiSht Empire puffs, four vertical and four horizontal" but this, as was all the rest, is based upon sthe Marcel wave. This wonderful wave is an elusive thing. Just when we thought we knew one when we saw it We were told that it wasn't Marcel at all but a coronet braid, or Lillian Langtry knot, or a Cleo dMerode, or a Scram- bled Egg, or Stenographers Pom padour. It's all very perplexing, but man is governed in these things by and as long as the Mar- eel contributes to woman's happiness and mans subjection, long may it wave, ay we.

WAS A SORRY AFFAIR
Pine Bluff Sports We're Disguised With the Reports of the Farce Fistic FestivaI-Mike Holland There Among Spectators.

A large crowd of Pine Bluff fight lovers heard the returns of the Burns-O'Brien championship battle read last night at the Brookhill. they listened to them until they were disgusted with the fight put up by philadelphia Jack and when the final decision was made giving Tommy Burns the championship honors, belt and title, the Pine Bluff admirers of the once great 0 Brien were glad it was all over.
 Mike Holland of this city, was one of the spectators at the ring side. A special from Los Angeles, where the fight took place, says:
 Tommy Burns of Los Angeles won the heavyweight championship of the world from Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien before the Pacific Athletic club here tonight, after 20 rounds of fighting that was for the most part foot race. O'Brien ran away from Burns from the first round to the finish, and only oe- casionally was the latter able to overtake him. Then O'Brien invari- ably clinched Burns and held on until the referee pried them apart. The crowd hooted and jeered OBrien and hurled all sorts of raillery e. him as he raced about the ring.
 Not Much Hard Fighting.
 But every few blows of any yigor were landed bs either man, and neither suffered any apparent dam age. Both O'Brien's eyes were damaged and his lips were cut open, but Burns had scarcely scratch,
 Burns showed his disguest with the tactics of his opponent and called to him repeatedly to 'come on and fight" Burns would chase his man around the ring O'Brien running as if in terror of his antagonist. Now and then Burns would overtake him and beat him on the back. O'Brien attempting wildly to duck and dodge away until Burns weary of the foot race, would stand in the center of the ring with his hands to is sides and wait for O'Brien to come to a halt. O'Brien landed many light blows at long range on Burns head and race during hls capers about the floor But they were absolutely without effect. Clinches were frequent. The referee had the greatest difficulty in prying the men apart or rather pry- ing O'Brien loose from Burns. The referee cautioned O'Brien about his holding tactics, and finally told him he must stop it.
 Between two of the early rounds Referee Eyton went to O'Brien's coy her and informed him that he mus stoOp clinging to Burns in the clincn- es break at the word of command Burns had all of the better in fight 1 ing. and laced his opponent terrificai- | ly about the face with short arm l lefts O'Brien's bolding of Burns

GOING TO PACIFIC
Admirals Caps and Cowles win
Make an Inspection Of the
Western Coast.
ANOTHER NAVAL STATION.
Condition Of Navy Yards to Be Care.
fully Examined--San Diego May
Be Selected for New
Naval Base.

Washington, July Silt Is proba
BILE that another naval station will
be created on the Pacific coast as
result of the forthcoming visit there
Of Admiral Capps, chief naval con
structor Of the navy, and Admiral
Cowles, chief of the equipment bu
reau. The former left Washington
Tuesday for New York, where he will
be Joined by Admiral Cowles and the
two will journey together to the Pa
ciiic coast under special orders from
the navy department and make a thor
olga Inspection OF the yards and 81
tons Oh the coast, and report upon
the future needs of the navy In that
quarter.
Admiral Hollyday, chief of the bu-
reau Of yards and docks, will follow
these two officers to San Francisco
on a similar errand. This will involve
a very careful examination Of the
Mare Island navy yard and that at
Bremerton on Puget Sound. The re-
sources of the two navy yards, which
are the only ones on .2,OOO-mile
stretch of shore land, are scarcely
sufficient to make even the temper
airy repairs and bookings that will be
required by Admiral Evans battleship
fleet II 1t makes only a temporary
visit to the coast. Hence the inspec'
ton Of these yards will probably re.
lit In recommendations to congress
at its approaching session for a con-
siderable enlargement Of the plants at
both places. The difficulty of procur-
ing skilled labor at these yards, and
especially at Bremerton, will also be
considered with a view to making the
conditions more attractive to such
labor, II by no other means than by
assuring the men Of continuous EN-
ployment at good wages.
But from a naval point OF view
probably Of more interest is the pro
position to establish a naval station
at San Diego Cal, which will be, ex,
amined from all points of view by
the visiting admirals. The harboi
at this point possesses superior ad.
vantages as a naval anchorage; there
are good railroad connections, inshr.
an abundance of coal overland II wa
ter communication is cut off In war
time, and the harbor can easily r.
made impregnable. The distance =
San Diego, southwark from San Fran
cisco, and on the same line with the
projected Panama canal would also
make It an advantageous coaling

gress would be necessary to render
