General Public Is Very Inquisitive

NNifS' GI tS NNf
 In a lengthy address before the National Convention of Attorneys General a> St. Paul, Minn., Hon. Hal L. Ncrwood, attorney general of Ark ansas. discussed the perpleXing prob lem of unofficial inquiries addressed to the attorney general, and suggest. ed a remedy both for the department and the public by judicial exten- sion of the state legal department in the matter of assistant attorneys general. ''If the attorney generals office was in position to answer more of what is now unofficial correspond ence it would insure much more uni formity in the construction and ad- ministration of cur laws" said he. While detailing the mass of corre- spondence that finds it's way into the state legal department from the thousands of minor officials, justices of the peace. school directors and citizens generally, and calling atten- ton to the fact that under present conditions it would practically handi-
 
 ministration of its duties under the statute if required or expected to at tend to all this correspondence, yet Mir. Norwood declared that this very fact of increase in inquiries address ed to his department indicated an increased desire on the part of citi zens to know and obey the law and on the part of officials to administer the statutes properly Among other things, Mir. Norwood said: ''In dis cussing this question I want it under stood that no complaint is intended against those who call upon the at torney general for advice, when, un- der the statute, he is not required to reply to such communications. It is to their credit that they seek infor- nation regarding the laws and their proper interpretation, but state must draw the line somewhere and designate those who may obtain legal advice from its legal servants"

BOIL WEEVIL CAUSE OF CLASH.
Tilt With Government Expert at the Cotton Seed Crushers' Meeting.


 Little Roek.-A spirited tilt between Dr. w. D. Hunter, entomologist of the United States Department of Ag- riculture, and J. w. Vogler of Alex andria, La, secretary and treasurer of the Sonia Cotton Oil Company and the Dixie Gin Company, over tho question as to whether cotton should be planted early or late in combat ting the boil weevil; the reading of the annual address of the president, Col. A. D. Allen of Little Rock, and the reading of an exhaustive report from Julian l.. Erode, special agent of the Department of Commerce and Labor, a representative of the cot ton seed crushers of Europe, were striking features of the opening ses- sions of the fourteenth annual con. vention of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' Association
 The convention convened in the auditorium of the Hotel Marion, with nearly 800 members registered The visitors were welcomed by Governor Donaghey
 The controversy between Dr. Hun ter and MT. yogler caused much amusement in the convention Dr. Hunter contended that cotton should be planted early in order to combat the boil weevil and that experiments showed that the cotton planted early produced better results than that planted late. On the other hand, MT. Vogler contended just the opposite, and said that experiments had shown that the late cotton was least affect. ed by the boil weevil and produced more bolls than the early cotton. Both gave figures to support their contention. In his address on the boil weevil, Dr. Hunter declared that within 15 yeps that insect will have invaded the entire cotton area of 560,O00 acres, with the possible ex- ception of some isolated sections. He also contended that a readjustment of cotton culture will follow event. ually and that cotton will be displaced in many instances by other crops.

Interior Department Says This Action
 Is Necessary.
 Washington D. C.--Hot Springs, Ark, will never become an ideal health or pleasure resort unless the United States can exercise complete administrative jurisdiction over the entire region now covered by tho city of Hot Springs, the contiguous territory and the government reser- vation, according to a report to Sec retary Ballinger by Clement S. Ucker, chief clerk of the Ieterior Depart ment, who recently investigated the conditions at Hot Springs.
 MT. Ucker advises that steps in the way of reform must originate with the state of Arkansas.
 The divided responsibility, he con- tinued, resulting from the national government controlling the reserva- tion and the municipal government administering the affairs of the city, has given rise to an administrative situation redounding to disadvantage of the visitor and patient.
 MT. Ucker scored the hygienic con- ditions of number of the bath houses. The most important sugges- tion for their improvement was that a medical director be appointed per sonally to supervise the sanitation, ventilation, hygiene, attendants and mechanical apparatus of the bath houses and to see that doctors pre- scriptions are properly followed.

BY Bill, the Burglar.

Lots of times it's the stiffest
kind of a proposition getting into
house after you've picked it out.
But this kind of comes to be Sec
ond nature with a man. 1t takes
lots of practice, though, to get
hep" to locks and to get into a
place without making enough noise
to wake everybody up.
Nine times out of ten a burglar
has some good pal around to give
him the high sign if a cop should
show his face about the neighbor-
hood. This fellow generally stands
on the corner while the burglar
walks up to the house he's going
to get into, just as bold as brass.
The first thing he does is to see
if the keys in the lock. He kinda
laughs to himself and pulls out a
pair of thin-jawed pincers from a
belt of tools under his coat. The
inside jaws of the pincers are
roughed up so that they can catch
hold of the end of the key. He
sticks these thin pincers through
the keyhole and gets the end OF
the key in the jaws. Then he
squeezes the handles hard and
turns the key from the outside.
But you can beat him at this game.
Don't leave any keeps to outside
doors in the locks. Take 'em out
nights and hang 'em up where you
can find 'em when you want 'em.
Better yet, hang a big hairpin OF
stout wire over the door handle,
with one end through the key;
then it can't be turned.
Now you people who've got these
new tangled springl ocks on your
doors think that you're safe, be-
cause you can't get pair of pin
GERS small enough to get into the
keyhole. Why, your kind of locks
are easy. All mans got to have
is a SILVA little piece of thin
steel, about three inches long and
half an inch wide. It'll bend easy,
but won't break. A man shoves 1t
between the door and the sash,
right on the level with the lock.
The "shiv' works like wedge and
pushes the spring lock back. But
this is another game you can beat
every time.
Take a look at that spring lock
of yours. There's a catch right on
the face of it, and that locks the
bolt in place when it's moved.
Nine people out of ten don't know
what the catch is there for, and |
never struck spring lock yet
where this catch was DOWN When
you go to bed see that that catch
is down. Then there's no chance
for man to work the "shiv."
Another nifty way some of the
fellows have of getting into
house is by using a keyhole saw,
about ten inches long. half an inch
wide at the handle and tapering to
a fine point. The police call the
fellows who use them 'keyhOle

BURGLAR ALARM SYSTEM THE ONLY
SURE THING, SAYS BILL


No. Hang big, stout hairpin
over the door handle with one lend
through the key. Then it can't be turn
ed by using pincers on the outside.
No. BE sure the catch on your
spring lock is fixed so it will lock the
bolt in place when the door is shut.
Then there's no chance for burglar
to shove back the bolt with thin
blade of steel.
No. 3-There's just one sure way to
keep burglars out-a good burglar
alarm system that rings loud enough to
scare away the burglar and awaken
you, the moemnt door or window is
opened. ~

The People, Not the Interests,

movement is under way for partisan judiciary

lived and it would be much better for judges be gov

After all, judge is merely umpire. He must see
that the game played according to the rules and to the
