To Prevent SeaSickneSS Read
Exciting Story.
University of Chicago Professor Saves
Particularly Engrossing Detective
Narrative Until Big Storm
Is Threatened.

Chicago.-Interesting literature as
preventative of seasickness is advo-
Gated by a University of Chicago pro
fessor, who declares that his own per
sonal experience upon the rolling seas
has been such as to demonstrate the
practicability of his plan. In ordinary
weather aboard ship in midocean the
professor reads a sentimental story.
If the waves are tossing high and the
wind Is blowing hard he fastens his
attention to a tale of exciting adven-
ture or deep mystery. He boldly
makes the assertion that his scheme
has never failed to ward off impending
seasickness and adds that, while his
travelling companions are in the throes
of distress, he sits engrossed in his
reading, unmindful of the rise and
fall OF the vessel.
Il gauge the intensity of the story
read by the roughness OF the seas and
the height of the waves" the profess
sor laughed. Yes, know 1t is
unique cure for seasickness, but in my
case and in the case of another pro-
fessor here at the university to whom
i preached the strange doctrine it has
been uniformly successful l have
been in some bad storms, but l have
yet to feel my first pang of seasick-
ness.

as yet | have never been called upon

for aome awful storm, and when that
time comes / shall have more faith in
that detective story as sure proven
tive than the old-fashioned grand
mothers had In goose grease as a-pana-
cea for children Ills. If the waves
sweep over the vessels bow aft to the
stern I'll wager that | will still be
reading in my cabin, as devoid of sea
sickness as an electric light bulb is OF
air"
How do you explain your unique
method of prevention" he was asked.
Concentration of the mind upon
some other subject than the height of
the waves or the possibility that the
boat may sink" vas the reply. Il
often have occasion to do ocean travel
ing and ! have found fear Of seasick-
ness and constant dwelling of the
mind upon its related horrors are
largely responsible. So | have devised

THE ARKANSAS GOOD ROADS
ASSOCIATION HOLDS SESSION

Hon. John B. DeBoise OF White
county stated in an address that on
account of the condition of roads al
present the cost of transporting pro
duce to the local market was four
times the cost of transportation to
the general market. He urged the
members of the General Assembly 10
carry out the proposed road plans OF
the association, stating that the val
ue of lands would thus be increased
from $50 to 500 per acre.
Senator Dill of Washington county
concurred with Mr. DeBoise and
spoke disparagingly of the system en-
ployed in some districts of throw
ing the rocks in the road in wet
weather and throwing them out again
in dry weather"
Judge w. NJ. Kavanaugh, in his re
marks, pointed out that Little Rock
is the fifth city in the South in
point of excellence of the roads sur
rounding her, and stated that her
property value, due to them, had in
s15,000,000 to $50, 100000
The bill prepared by committee
named for that purpose, and which
will be submitted to the General AS

LETTER FROM ARMADA BOY
TOURING the OLD COUNTRIES

Decay has taken the place of

charitable purposes under the di-
rection of the church. Granada
is perhaps the most interesting
place in Spain; it is certainly the
best known. One has here
glimpses into the past such as he
cannot forget, otherwhere along
with the magnifi cent views of
the great snow-clad mountains
and fruitful valleys.
AS you are more or less famil-
lar with the history of Granada
and the Moors, l will not take
the space here to go into histori-
cal details. Suffice it to say: for
centuries down to their expulsion
in 1892 by Ferdinand and Isa-
bella, the Moors maintained at
Granada a very magnificent
coast, a great center of learning
and a very high state of civiliza-
ton. The city itself has its

From Cordova l went to Gran
ada to see the famous Alhambra.
The scenery through the noun
tains is very grand; the country
is more fertile and smiling. AS
the train stopped at the stations
it was besieged by beggars young
and old who even clamored the
steps of the carriage and begged
through the open windows. At
one end of the mountain stations
there were perhaps a score of
fruit sellers with little baskets
of oranges, hanging over the
wooden fence and yelling at the
tops of their voices and all in con-
cert. was surprised to see so
much snow on the peaks of the
Sierra Nevadas.
Granada, a town of $1,000 is
very picturesquely situated at
the base of two mountain spurs.
On one Of these is a very inter-
esting gypsy camp. They live
in caves followed from the sand
stone and the hill is covered with
great cacti, rising like trees. On
the other hill is the Alhambra

beloved Washington Irving.
Granada, too, is a living ruin.

magnificent Renaissance cathed-
raj | saw the marble tombs Of
Ferdinald and Isabella, known as
the Catholic kings" also the
tombs of King Phillip the Hand
some and his wife Johanna the
Mad.
The Alhambra is too wonder
full for me to describe. You
must read again Irving's Alham-
bia and The Conquest of Gran
ada. My few words are very in
adequate to form any conception
of this great wonder. The cas-
tie ruins occupy a plateau about
800 yards long and 200 yards
wide, and seems by nature in
tended as a site for a fortifica-
ton. The great fort prison and
palace of the Moors passed from
them to the Christian Spaniards,
who allowed it to decay and fall
to pieces after some time. Neg
lect, powder explosions and one
thing and another have destroyed
much of its former splendor. In
1912 the evacuating French
troops decided to blow up the
fortress of the Alhambia. Sew
eral towers were already des-
troyed when the main part of
the palace was saved by the
presence Of mind Of a Spanish
soldier who secretly cut the fuse.
What a debt of gratitude the
world owes this man. The park
surrounding the plateau is very
unique in that these gigantic
elms were brought from Eng
land and planted here by the
Duke of Wellington in 1872. One
ascends the hill and enters by
the Gate Of Justice, fine old
tower gateway.
The chief place of interest is
the Palace of Alhambra. Its ex-
terror is very unimposing but the
interior at once dispels any feel

ARVADA AND GOLDEN BUSINESS
men WILL PLAY BASE BALL
If Golden Accepts Arvada's Challenge
And The Transcript Says They
Undoubtedly Will.

In last weeks issue of the En-
terprise the Arvada business men
challenge the business men
of Golden to a ball game to be
played at the ball park here, and
there is little doubt but that the
Golden business men will accept
the challenge. We understand
it is being talked over at Golden
and a lineup is being made up
with the intention of coming
over and giving us a walloping,
but that part Of the story re-
mains to be seen.
There is some talk of the Golden
team coming over here real soon
and then inviting Arvada to play
a return game in that city on
Labor Day, when they will have
a big celebration. This would be
good scheme and we trust that
we shall hear from them soon
in regard to the matter.
The following in regard to the
challenge is taken from the
Golden Transcript:
The business men of Arvada
challenge the business men Of
Golden to battle to the finish
on the baseball field, the game
to be played at Arvada any Tues
day or Friday afternoon to
suit the convenience of the Golden
men. 1t is proposed by the chal-
lengers to make this an annual
event, the game to be pulled off
in Golden next year. In the reg

have. Here are a series of rooms
openingoninner courts, so wehave
several palaces each with a sepa-
rate entrance and a court Of its
own. Best known of these are
the Court of the Myrtles, with its
pool of water enclosed by hedges
of Myrtle, and the Court Of the
Lions, so named after the twelve
lions bearing the large fountain
in the center. This court is per-
haps the most attractive feature
of the palace. 1t is 90 feet long
and So feet broad, surrounded by
an arcade with stilted arches.
There are 124 marble columns.
The walls of wood and plaster
are most exquisieely fretted as
though carvedin ivory. So might
go on to tell about the elegant
Hall of the Ambassadors, the
state reception room of the mon
archs; the Hall of the Abencer-
RACES with its fine wooden doors,
its white marble floor, its rich,
star-shaped stalactite ceiling and
dome; also the Room of the Two
Sisters, which takes its name
from the two large and equal
sized slabs of white marble form

ARVADA IS COMING TO THE
FRONT SAYS GOLDEN PAPER
Residents and Business Men Are Max
ing 1t Denver's Best Suburb-- Drink
ing Fountains Installed, etc.

Arvada is a town with pur-
pose. That purpose is to become
Denver's best suburb and to be
known as such. 1t has fought
everything in recent years which
would tend to blemish it's natural
beauty. Its people are working
together to make it a place for
Denver people to live. They con-
tend that it is the handiest ad-
joining town to Denver.
Aavada is perhaps the first
small town in the state to com
ply with the law which requires
that sanitary drinking fountains
be installed to replace the old
public cup system. Arvada has
put in two bubbling fountains at
either end Of the long narrow
town.
There is not a better example
of progressive spirit of the people
of Arvada than the new band
stand just completed. The Ar
vada band gives concerts there
every Friday night. The band
stand was built through donation,
lumbermen giving the material
necessary, hardware men donat-
ing the males, a paint shop the
color and a tin shop the orna-
ments. Carpenters donated their
services and erected one of the
most beautiful stands that any
town can support. The band is self
supporting. 1t neither solicits nor
gets funds from the citizens or
town board. The expense of
maintaining the organization is
borne by the band members.
