About Town.

knoebel Vance, an employe of the Arkansas Electric Co.,, who has been wiring the new hotel, returned to his home in Little Rock Wednesday evening, after several weeks spent here. MT. Vance seems a natural born mechanic and delights to talk and practice anything in that line. At present, he is building in his own workshop, an automo- bile, in which he will lnculcate some of his own private ideas, and he figures that the expense, not including his own labor, will not exceed 5000. His gentle manly conduct made him many friends while in the city.

 Why, a short decade ago, boys or all classes shucked their pedal adorn- ment when the first birds warbied In the spring, and they did not heed the alluring tones of the shoe store adver- tisement until Santa Claus was about to fall down the chimney. The only reason they did it then was because they wanted to have pair or stock ings. one of which to hang up.
 "But now l see the boys are wear ing sandals in the summer and some of them have even been elevated to real shoes. I don't believe that either is as hygenic as the plain old shoe that God provided. There are argu- ments for the sandal, that they pro- tect the feet from being cut into small
