lpKANSAS WOMEN ENTERTAINED AT
 MACON REUNION

little Rock, May 13.-Back t,om Macon, where the annual Reunion of Confederate Veterans s .ss m attended, the Arkansas ,orrists are more firmly con yipced than ever that Arkansas ;stbe grandest of all states, and ,bst she still holds the palm for entertaining the big reunion. This is said without discounting ,bo success of Macon in handl- iro the Reunion, for it would be |;mpossible to have hospitality more lavishly tendered than 1t ras in the beautiful little city of Georgia.
 There were many things about the Macon Reunion which were nrtcuIarly interesting to the people of Arkansas who were in attendance. Probably the chief dthese was the way the state. vide prohibition was handled in the Cracker State, because ef- forts are now being made to put Arkansas in the dry colum. It was impossible to get anything but Near Beer in Macon, Atlanta and other Georgia cities, but this Near Beer came out of the same vats as the product which lis sold in other states as the real stuff. Papers carried advertise ments showing a train loaded with well known brand of the

everywhere There are more me homes in Macon. when con- pared With the population, than | can probably be found in any other part of the United States. 1t seems as though the people of Macon have all struck oil in some manner and lavishly ex- pended the proceeds in the build Ing Of magnificent homes and furnishing them most luxuriant- ly. These homes were particu- larily to the people from lArkan- sas, for it was general admitted that the young women from the Bear State were the most beau tiful of any attending the Re union. Tennessee too had quite a few who could qnalify for the beauty show, but they were so close to the Arkansas line to blossom upon the sweet scented breezes from just across the Mississippi, which should entitle Arkansas to the credit for these young women as we'll.
 When the motion pictures of the parade and other Reunion festivities are placed on the mar ket, they will show how promi- nent was the part played in the Reunion by Arkansas women. The motion pictures will show a number of these young women at the reception rendered at the palatial Lamar home, where they received by the side of Mrs. La mar, their hostess for the Re union. The automobiles in which these young women rode in the parade will also be among the pictures shown, for of the few which were chosen, the ar tistic temperament of the opera. tor caused him to keep the reel moving when the Arkansas floats were driven by. Dinners were also given in honor of the Arkan sas young women and the hos' tesses insisted upon escorts from the home state of the Arkansas beauties, so that about many a festive board Arkansas could have cast the majority vote on any matter presented. T h e toast-"To Arkansas and Geor gia," was the most frequent of all dinner parties.
 Many who invested in conces- sions at the Little Rock, lost heavily, but they could not have made so poor guess as did some of the over enthusiastic young men at Macon. It was evident, from the preparations made by the Macon committee, that a crowd even greater than the 10000 which visited Little Rock last year, was to be enter tained. This crowd. probably on account of the high waters of the Mississippi valley cutting off many who expected to come from the West, was cut to about 50,000. Like the crowd which visited Little Rock, this crowd seemed to eat little, take even less soft drinks and seldom did the majority sleep.
 One live man cleaned out a large loft and placed 800 cots there. He rented one cot dur. ing the reunion and told the vic tim that If he was unable to rest comfortably upon that one, to keep on trying the other 499 un, til he was satisfied, or became so tired walking around that he

MOVEMENT

ing from the same Office; it applies
also to matter mailed at city car
rier office or at any point within it's
delivery limits fer delivery in the
same city by letter carriers or mail
ed at any Office for local delivery.
For the general parcels post
service, which covers all mail trans.
portation other than local delivery
in the rural route and city carrier
services, graduated rates are pro-
vided, based on distance.
"Six zones OF distance are provid
ed, by the bill, the first having
radial distance OF fifty miles from
the point of mailing The second
includes the area living between fifty
and 200 miles. the third that be-
tween 200 and 500 miles the fourth
that between 500 and 1000 miles
the fifth that between 1000 and
1900 miles, and the sixth distance
beyond 1000 miles. The rate for
delivery within the first zone is six
cents Tor the first pound or fraction
of pound and two cents for each
additional pound or fraction of
pound. The rates increase for each
additional zone until in the sixth
zone they reach a maximum of
twelve cents a pound, which is the
rate now charged in the internation-
al parcels post.
"In order that the distance of
given Office OF destination from the
office OF mailing may be readily de-
termined, the country is divided into
units OF area thirty miles square,
each unit being identical with
quarter of the area formed by the
intersecting parallels OF latitude and
meridians of longitude. Each of
these units of area is numbered, and
all the postofices in a given unit
receive the same number.
IA chart showing the relation to
each postoffice of the units area
forming the several zones is prepar-
ed for the use Of that office, with
key that gives the numbering of the
postofhces, so that they may be
promptly located in their proper un.
it of area and the distance instantly
ascertaiued by reference to the
chart. In this manner the method
of fixing charges is made compare
lively easy, greatly simplifying the
handling of the service in this re.
gard.
"The bill provides that the rate OF
postage on third.class matter
weighing not more than four ounces
shall be one cent for each ounce or
fraction of an ounce. In view of
the consolidation of the two classes
this rate will apply to mail matter
fol merlv belonging to the fourth
class as well as that belonging to
the third class
1T is believed that the enactment
OF the proposed parcels post bill will
materially aid in solving the high
cost OF living problem, because it
will bring the producer and consum.
er into closer proximity The rural
route service will enable the farmer
TO send to the town each morning
the fresh products of his truck farm
or garden and AT the same time oh.
tain quickly the small articles he
desires To purchase from city stores.
This will mean no; only n great
saving. Int will stimulate a larger
and more varied production and
trade u will have the the effect of
ringing more closely together in
their commercial and social rela.
lions the people OF the country and
oi the city.

BY Billie Burke.

WHY yOuCNCl at q pal lJs w -
you noticed that some other girl,
not dressed nearly as prettlly as
yourself and who couldnot boast
of nearly as much good looks,
seemed to have cornered all the
eligible men in the room?
Perhaps when you went home
at night you took stock of the
other girls endowments and you
came to the conclusion that you
were quite as. good looking and
had more brains than she.
What, then, is her appeal?
l think I can tell you: "She is a
good listener" A girl if she would
be popular with the other sex
must early learn that deep down
in their hearts all men, especially
young ones, consider themselves
the lords of creation, and the clev-
er woman, no matter how brainy
she is, will quickly become inter
ested when a man talks about
himself and his own accomplish
ments, usually his favorite topic
of conversation.
To be a good listener one must
really be sympathetic and inter
esting. You have got to let the
man see that you understand
what he is talking about and occa-
sionally you must put in SEN
tence which will tactfully hatter
him.
know this is telling tales out
of school, but to listen we'll is one
of the greatest accomplishments
of the popular girl. This does not
mean that you are never to say
