Supreme Court o. Arkansas Helc Many Cases of Like Nature
 Constitutional.

Little Rock.-News received by To- cal attorneys announced that the consti- nationality of the fellow-servant law of Arkansas was upheld by tho United States supreme court.
 The decision was rendered in q suit brought by George H. RamseT, an employe of the Aluminium Com pany of America, against that cor poration for damages for personal in- juries alleged to have been received by reason of the negligence of fel- low-servant. This case was the first one, involving the fellow-servant law, appealed to the United States su- preme court Several cases of a similar nature have reached the Ar kansas supreme court and the latter body has held the law to be consti- tutional.
 The fellow-servant law was enacted by the legislature in 1907. and makes an employer liable for damages for injuries sustained by employees through the negligence of fellow employe. An employers liability law, much broader in it's scope. was pass ed by the last legislature, but this did not abrogate any of the provision of the fellow-servant law.

Organization Started by London
 Officers Aided by Cadets.
Will Extend imperial Service Corps, Now Two Years Old. Which Takes Children In Hand
 and Helps Needy.

London.-FroLa Brighton town hall an inhuentialy signed appeal has Just been issu-d for funds to extend the imperial service cadet corps. an organization whose origin is bound up with the remarkable and romantic ca reer of the Brighton police scheme for clothing destitute children
 The cadet corps is only two years old. the police charity nearly eight. The story of the latter is one of the most bracing human narratives which could be placed before the public. The police of Brighton have worked the charity themselves. taking note of the destitute children in the streets. visit ing their homes to make inquiries and fitting them out with new clothes on certain days when the children at tended at the building which had been acquired for a wardrobe.
 The public supported the scheme well. the police grew increasingly keen as they saw it's good results and the progress of the movement has been such that according to the last annual report 339 boys and 295 girls were clothed in the year 1909-l0
 In course of their inquiries the po- ice found that many young girls who were desirous of entering domestic service could not do so because they had no suitable clothes. The same report states that forty-three girls were supplied with comDlete ontfifs for entering service, and that the po- ieemen's wives, having formed them. selves into a working class at the po- ice institute, made 205 garments.
 The question of discipline and em- ployment for the growing lads arose and led 10 the formation of tho Impe- rial Service Cadet corps by the chief

As stated in the appeal re- ferred to, 1t aims not only "at taking the boy in hand when he leaves school and helping him in cooperation with the labor exchanges to find employ ment. but continuing his education in at least some of those habits and in- dustries which the state has already taught him"
