AEROPLANE PLANS
FOR j. S. ARMY
Specifications Will Be Broad
Enough to Permit of
Large Contest.

Specifications are being prepared by
the War Department for an aeroplane
10 be added TO the air fleet Of the Sig
nal Corps OF the army. II is proposed
TO go a step farther than the dirigible
balloons already provided for, and 70
build a powerful and eminently useful
engine Of war. 1t Is believed that a
perfected aeroplane Will do more effec-
tive work than a dirigibIe balloon, and
consequently bids viii be invited for the
heavier than air machine.
The specifications will be OF such gem
eral scope as 10 permit inventors and
near-inventors all over the country to
submit designs. After careful eXami-
nation the most likely plan viii be
adopted. The machine will have TO be
OF sufficient capacity to carry at least
one. and possibly two. men. and sufficient
explosives 10 make II a powerful engine
Of destruction.
This is a new departure in aeronautics
for the army, although the possibilities
Of aeroplanes have been considered in
an unofficial way.
While the aeropiane idea did not or
iginate with the board Of ordnance and
fortihcation IL was through the action
Of the board at its last meeting that
it was made possible of contamination.

some aching heart for even a lit
tie while, had they been bestow-
ed while the loved one was with
us.
WHOEVER takes a child into his
love, may have a very roomy
heart, but that child will fill it
out. The children keep US from
growing old and cold; they cling
to our garments with their little
hands and impede our progress
to petrifaction; they win US back
with their pleading eyes, from
cruel care; they never cucumber
us at all. A poor old couple with
no one to love them, is a most
pitiful picture; but a hovel, with
a small face to fill broken pane
here and there, is robbed of it's
desolateness.
TRUE LOVE OF WOMEN.
No women will love man better
for his being renowned or prom
inent. Though he be the first
among men, She will be prouder,
not fonder; as is often the case
she will not even be proud. But
give her love, appreciation, kind
ness. and there is no sacrifice she
will not make for his content and
comfort. The man who loves her
well is her hero and king-no less
a king, though his only kingdom
is his heart and home. In nine
cases out Of ten, it is a mans
fault that he is unhappy with his
wife. 1t is a very exceptional
woman who will not be all she
can be to an. attentive husband,
and a very exceptional one who
will not be very disagreeable if
she finds herself Wilfully neg
lected.

 Doctor Loetzerich has been in bad health for many months. He was operated on several days ago and improved steadily until yeSter- day, when his condition took a turn for Che worst.

RELATIVES GO HOME
Condition Not as Critical as Reported -Beiieveh That He Wiil soon Re- turn to His Office in Little Rock and Resame His Duties There,

information from Little Rock at a late hour last night was to the effect ] that Governor John s. Little was rest less yesterday at his home at Green wood, but his condition continues to improve. 1t was the general opinion in the capital city yesterday, based on information from Greenwood, that Governor Little wHs now on the road , to recovery and would soon be able to return and again assume his duties in Little Rock
 In letter to Guy Tucker, a state official, yesterday w. B. w. Heiskell. former representative from Sebastian county, who lives near Governor Lit ties home in Greenwood, says that the Governor is not as sick a man as has been reported. A greater part of yesterday he walked about his room, dressed in his street clothes and aftfi. asking for something to eat and being given it, enjoyed a long conver- sation with relatives, physicians and friends.
 Paul Little son and secretary of Governor Little, returned to Little Rock yesterday morning from Greenwood, where he was called last Saturday to attend his father, who was thought to be dying. He says when he left home Friday night the condition of his father was much improved and it is now believed he will recover
 Other parties returning from Greenwood state that the govern or's case is the most remarkable ever recorded in Arkansas. Last Saturday and Sunday it was thought that he would die at any
 moment, and the physicians and family gave up all hopes The re- ports telegraphed out of Fort Smith that the governor does not weigh over sixty or seventy-fiye pounds are erroneous. People who visited the governor yesterday stat ed that he will weigh at least 115 or 120 pounds, which is loss of about forty pounds since he was stricken in January.
 Pine Bluff Friends Happy.
 Pine Bluff friends of Governor Little were highly elated last night when told of the encouraging re- ports from the governors home. For days they have been momen- tarily expecting his death and the remarkable improvement of Gov ernor Little is naturally great relief to them, They express them- selves as believing that the re- ports of his illness have been greatly exaggerated
