conditions also seemed to demand remedy. open-air rooms were provid- ed. The methods was simple. Windows were so arranged that plenty of air was permitted to circulate. When the temperature was pretty chilly teach CTS and pupils alike kept on wraps and head coverings, and work contin- ued as usual, all hands imbibing draughts of fresh air.
 Combined with work was relaxation. Certain rows in the rooms would study for time and then rest, the children's heads going down on the desks, and in that attitude they ac- tually went to sleep for brief per iod. When they awoke and resumed their lessons other rows which had worked took their turn at resting and dozing. and so it went along the whole line, all the scholars having equal chances After all had been allowed opportunity for maps the teachers an- nounced that it was time to eat, and those so inclined were led off to the school kitchen, where rice deliciously cooked, crackers, mugs of milk, steaming vegetable soup, oatmeal, sandwiches spread with jam and oth- CT refreshments were served. Says an account of these proceedings:
 Every anaemic child in the school is fed at 10::30 in the morning, and the authorities are considering the ques- tion of feeding these children in the afternoon also.' A meal such as mentioned costs two cents, which the pupils are expected to bring with them when they can remember or afford it.'
 1t-is added that the combination of fresh air and nourishing food has ac- complished wonders in toning up the physical condition of the children. In addition to the direct and unmistak- able benefit derived the pupils are taught, in way most likely to be ef- fective permanently, the principles of hygiene and cleanly sanitary living All this sounds a good deal like ''pa- |ternalism.'' But a mild application of "paternalism'' may be justified when it is shown in the form of ef- forts to benefit, physically and men, tally, the children, upon whom rests
 the hope of the nation.

SAYS JOE T. CAN DO IT.

The editor of the England Courier believes that Congressman Joe T. Robinson is the man who can make Senator Jeff Davis take to his hole'' and walk away with the United States senatorship, provided every body ex- cept Congressman Robinson and Ser- ator Davis are let alone to fight it out. He tells of the bright prospects for Robinson's success in the follow ing comment:
 We are not informed, but we give it as our opinion that Senator Jeff Davis, is going to have but one oppon- ent in his race for reelection to the United States Senate. We hope and trust that this one will be our most distinguished citizen, Congressman Joe T. Robinson. He, of all toose mentioned, can hold the great and only political bully down in a political stumping campaign. Robinson is the equal of Davis in everything save corruption and downright wickeGness He is his equal in ability as debat or. He ranks much higher as a scho!- ar and statesman. Davis has lost his power to Wield the wand of politi- cal make believe among the niniti- ated of the swamps and hills. They have found him out. Robinson has not one taint or blot on his record; Davis is flecked with blots and blurs and slams and slurs, from his hat to his heels. One term in the senate has only proved to the people who once trusted him that he is as bad as the worst. He kept but one promise he made the people, and that was that he would let them now he had come to town when he broke in,o congress, but this was to the everlast. ing shame and regret of Arkansas. He has no influence in Washington, and he knows it. He has passed no law nor tried to very hard, for he has dis gusted his colleagues. If Robinson goes to the senate he will measure up to the stature of a statesman. He is now recognized as one of the best in the lower house.

OILED ROADS KILL
 JERSEY MOSQUITOES


 Orange, N. J., June 25.-The engi- neers of the State highway commis sioners declare that oiling of roads to lay dust has had a marked effect on the famous Jersey mosquitoes.
 At least in this section of the State it is drivin, them away from the resi- dential districts and confining them tc tracts where the roads are not treated frequently with the oil pre- paration. The smoke and gases of the passing automobiles also have their effect, reinforcing the fumes of the road oil in driving back the pests.

STOP ~SCORCHING".

Pine Bluff has several speed man. iacs and if they do not refrain from their dangerous practice of speeding they will soon fi11 themselves tor- flonted with a murder charge Not only are some of the autoists in this city satisfied with exceeding the speed limit thus endangering lives, but no few of them are risking their own lives and others as we'll by operating cars without lights. The police ought to take hand'' and see that some heavy fines are imposed for such neg ligence, which is ineXcusable,
 After dying down for a while the speed maniac seems to have again De- come fashionable craze in many cities. Every day or so an innoc ant life is sacrificed or a limb mangled, according to the strength of zeal on the part of the "scorching' automobil- ists. These deaths and injuries are not inflicted Intentionally, of course, indeed they are regretted in the ex- treme, but the results are the same as if the sad work were done on pur- xyin ho wives, must suffer for the rest of his life. The police and other authorit- ies should stop this reckless practice, especially common among few sportily inclined young men at this time.
 There is 10 excuse whatever for "scorching' on the city or on the country highways. The scorcher is simply maniac for the time being a mono-maniac, let us say in charity who is determined to let his auto ombile out to high rate of speed, regardless of the lives and limbs of passing pedestrians, in order to de- T,onstrate it's quality. If persistent offender, he should be restrained of his liberty like any other lunatic or punished like any other criminal. Taking either view of the case, he is dangerous object to the commun- ity and his kind ought to be eradicat- ed. There is no half way ground upon which to stand. If he is a maniac he ought to be sent to the lunatic asylum, even though his man. ia be confined to one object. If a criminal he should be sent to the pen itentiary like any other felon. Fines of $25 to larger amounts are absurdly inadequate to meet the requirements of the case. Throwing pebbles at a mad dog would be as effective.

To the officers both Mrs. johnson

her husband drove her to take such

MAY CLOSE BANK.
Abilene Institutions Affairs CompIi-
Gated by HalIam's Death.

Bank Commissioner J. n. DolIey on
his return from Maple Hill this after
noon said that the death of President
1. S. HaIlam of the Abilene State bank
probably will not have any alarming
effect upon the affairs of that institu-
ton. President Hallam owned over
half of the stock in the bank at the
time of his death and had signed his
liability for losses along with the di-
rectors prior to his passing.
The bank was open all last week,
but Saturday ceased receiving deposits
Bank Commissioner Dolley desires to
wind up the affairs of the institution
without a receivership.
The bank has about $150,00O de-
posits, and it will take $4,000 from
the directors to make good the short
age. The other stockholders, who
have $4,000 stock, HalIam owning a
little more than half, probably will
realize nothing. Nothing has yet been
heard from F'lack.
After meeting Sunday night the di-
rectors of the bank decided not to re-
open today or Tuesday The funeral
will be held Tuesday, and Wednesday
it is expected that the bank will be
.opened for settlement of its tangled
affairs. The remaining directors will
go on as before arranged.
"Mr. Hallam's death will make no
difference in the settlement said G.

pledged his estate to make deposits
