BOOK NEWS

Historical novels per sc are rather passe
these days of sociological and introspect-
i've writing, but now and then one is
penned which by its inherent strength
and interest stands quite apart and COM
mands interest even from the blase. Such
one is "a Victor Of Salamis." Its
locale is ancient Greece in the time of
XerXes, Lsonidas and Themistocles; its
hero is young Greek suspected through
the Vaccinations of false friend of
treachery, and it's heroine is the hero's
wife. A novel is unusual in itself in pre-
senting hero and heroine already wed
this is more so in telling thrilling story
so admirably that 1t presents the very
field of action visually before ones very
eyes. 1t is full of the clash of arms by
sea and by land; 1t is entertaining, well
told, fascinating and delightful

RESTAURATEURS TO
HELP INSPECTORS
WILL DRIVE FILTHY CAFES OUT
OF BUSINESS
Keepers Of Clean Eating Houses CO.
operate with Health Department
and Will Organize for
SeIf-Protectlon

Because of the loss of trade to all Los
Angeles restaurants due to the exposure
by the health department restaurant in
spectors of many dirty eating houses a
number of restaurateurs have gone out
of business.
Those remaining who favor cleanliness
and are hand in hand with the inspection
idea have for self protection, they say,
decided to band themselves in an Or
ganization to assist the inspectors and
by giving publicity to the unclean cafes
put them out of business quickly.
In other words they propose to use
publicity to drive out of business such
men as refuse to regard their patrons
interests and indirectly injure reputable
caterers to appetites.
In this connection the board of health
will be asked to furnish to the news
papers daily accurate data on who the
guilty men are so that the clean need
not suffer for the unclean. The associa-
ton wants the people to know the filthy
places.
Hundreds of former restaurant patrons
now carry cold meals from their homes
and others take dairy lunches, cutting
out meats, canned goods and all items on
the menu where possibilities of filth lie.
This crusade has cost the restaurants
thousands of dollars in revenue weekly,
the owners say put tney dre hoPeAul thot
eventually it will restore their business.
When he urged the department inspec-
tion Mayor A. G. Harper said plainly
that in the end 1t would help the trade
because people knowing that rigid inspec-
t1on exists can eat confidently and with
relish They know, too, that any signs
of uncleaniness comebacks, misuse of
linen and other bad proctices will bring
prompt punishment if they will call,
write or telephone to Health Officer L..
M. Powers at the city hail.
Restaurants which serve clean meals
which bear the stamp approved" from
the inspectors and those which are in
sympathy with inspection will cooper
ate in advertising these facts through
the newspapers and otherwise by means
of this cooperative association.
A preliminary meeting will be held in
a few dayS.

Some wedding out will have to be done and done quickly. A poor exhibi- tion of ball playing is the worst drawing card on earth. Such games as that of yesterday, on the part of the White Ribboners, is a killer ] to fandom enthusiasm. The poor playing witnessed by those in the grand stand at a cost of 50 cents per. head, is calculated to cause citizens to prefer to spend half that amount to skate or a tenth of that amount to visit the moving picture shows, where they at least get their moneys worth of pleasure, amusement and pastime. The rem edy for the present state of affairs
 in the opinion of many citizens who like to. see a good game of baseball, is the reduction of the price of admission to amateur games one-half and make the play CTS play the game or secure play CTS who know how to play the game The last of the series oi three games between the White

|LIGHT PLANT ELIMINATED
 IN THE MUNICIPAL BILL

(Continued from --age One.)
 however, was unaware of the fact, although he had been told several days ago that it would be done.
 It was argued yesterday by the advocates of the WaterwCrks meas ure that the bill in it's original form could not have been passed either through the house or the senate; that the light plant feature had to be eliminated to save Pine Bluff at this time from the fire fiend.
 President John F. Rutherford of the Citizens Light and Transit company, was one of the most de- termined opponents to the bill as it was originally drawn. He objected to the light plant being inserted into it, although he favored the municipal ownership of water works. He contended at recent meeting of the council that the city had two light plants, in one of which he owned considerable It is by his company, the Citizens Light and Transit company, that the city is furnished it's lights at present. It is giving satisfaction and since it's establishment has materially re- duced the rates in that line for consumers He declared that he would fight the bill if it went to the legislature in it's original form. He dsliked to antagoniZe the people of Pine Bluff or the council, but he would be compelled to do so. The members of the council and the commissioners know well the influence of John F. Rutherford. With the present legislature he is power and they realized that it would be impossible to get the bill through the present legislature should he oppose it. His influence at the capital meant its immediate death. John F. Rutherford is chair man of the state Democratic cen- tral committee
 This was given due consideration i by the men who had charge of the bill. The municipal owner ship bill was sent to Little Rock. ] It was placed in the hands of the 1 three Jefferson county representa- ! tives. Many here thought that the
 bill was to authorize Pine Bluff l to build or purchase a waterWorks $ and light plant, but it only au- thorizes a waterWorks plant. There will be no oppositiAl to it now. The 1 bill has been read twice and will 1 be passed by the lower branch of l the general assembly the coming 1 week. It will then go to the senate and every indication points to it's 1 immediate passage in the upper branch.
 In eliminating the light plant feature from the bill those behind the municipal ownership movement have secured the signatures 0t
 many property-oWners who opposed the light plant idea, It is stated that John F. Rutherford and i3is other wealthy local business as sociates will sign the imeaoVenaef#

All will be given a hearty welcome; and the more that come the better we shall be pleased.
 It is desired to uphold the presi- l dent in the wise and statesmanlike position he has taken, and to ad- vance the interests, not only of our own great river; but also in the spirit of the present awakening of all the rivers and harbors of the country.

The governor urged those who in
tended to apply for pardons to tell
their own story and to tell it truth
fully. He related the story OF Jerry
McAuley, the convicted thief and ex-
pert robber of New York City, who
became the most useful citizen in the
metropolis. and told the men before
him that they might yet become res
pected citizens, but it could only be
brought about by absolute honesty
and a determination to lead a better
life
The effect of Governor Buchtel's
visit to the prison Thursday night
and his kindly, generous talk can
hardly fail to inspire those who heard
him with hope and ambition. The
helpfuluess of such a visit and such
a talk cannot easily be measured or
