Eskimo Totem Poles,

Tonight at the Gennett the Carnegie
polar expedition pictures will be
shown. These cinematograph views of
the far north are the Arst ever taken,
and are wonderfully clear and vivid.
The pictures, too, are thrilling. por-
traying all the dangers and hardships
that assail the adventurer into these
frozen seas. The expedition was sent
northward by the Carnegie institute to
obtain scientific data for the museum
and to obtain specimens of the animal
and bird life of the artic circle. In ad-
dition a moving picture record was
made of the seal, walrus, sea lion, po-
lar bear and of the different species
of birds. All the birds and beasts were
photographed in their native habitat
and the films show them as the arctic
explorer and hunter sees them. The
exhibition is accompanied by an ex-
p!anatory lecture, and continues for
two hours.

PROHIBITION AND
RECALL QUESTIONS
will Be Voted Upon by the
People of Arkansas on
Monday, Next Week.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. g.
Arkansas voters will go to the polls
NEXT Monday to select complete set
.of state and county officers and vote
flor or against the adoption Of num-
her of proposed amendments to the
state constitution. AS a victory for
1.-THE Democratic ticket headed by Con-
gressman Joe T. Robinson as the can
bdidate for governor is a foregone con-
tclusion, all interest in the election
lis confined practically to the vote on
THE proposed amendments, several OF
(which are of highly important char
kacter
The election will afford the first
Ipractical test of the initiative and re-
lferendum in Arkansas, which places
RESPONSIBILITIES upon the voters here
'tCfore delegated exclusively to the leg
Iislature. Chief among the measures to
;be submitted is the act providing for
Estate wide prohibition and the act pro-
.viding an almost new revenue law for
the state, commonly known as the
fTurner-Jacobson bill
The proposed act providing for
statewide prohibition prohibits the
manufacture, sale or giving away in
1.-THE State of Arkansas alcohol, or any
lspirituous, ardent, malt. vinous or fer
tmented liquors, or any compound or
preparation thereof commonly called
tonic bitters or medicinal liquors. The
penalty for the first offense is a fine
lot not less than $50 nor more than
$500, and for the second or any sub
seQuent offense the fine is not less
than 800 nor more than 81 900 and i'm
jprisonment in Jail not less than three
Each sale or gift shall be constituted
ia separate offense.
The third of the proposed amend
fsnents, and the one in which probably
lmore interest is being manifested than
in any OF the others, is that provid,
ing for the recall. All state and coun-
lty officers, including the judges, are
affected by the proposed amendment
The amendment is probably the most
drastic of it's kind that has been pro.
sposed in any of the states and it is
the general belief that it will be re.
,jected at the polls. The opposition
to the measure is based largely upon
the provision that only IL per cent of
the voters is necessary to initiate the
recall of any official. Another feature
that is regarded as Objectionable is
the provision for the election of the
successor of the official proposed for
recall at the same time the question
of his recall is voted on, and the barr.
ing of the official from being a cand:-
date.

after the first announcement of the
Harold concert was made in a Mum

One day NJ. Sommerand, curator of
the Cluny museum, went into small
restaurant in the suburb Of st. De-

the dining room and the kitchen are
one and the same room. While wait
ting to be served his eye was caught
by frying pan of an unusual shape
which was hanging on the wall.
He took it down, rubbed off some Of
the SCOT with which it was covered
and made out part Of an inscription.
To the surprise of the hostess. he Of
fered to buy the old pan, an offer she
joyfully accepted. doubtless thinking
her customer somewhat mad.
When the copperplate was properly
cleaned it was found that it bore the
arms of France and Navarro surround
ed by the chain of S. Louis and the
cord of the Order Of the st. Esprit
and the following inscription: Here
lies the magnificent prince, King Louis
NV, king Of France and Of Navarro.

been attached to the coffin of Louis
XIV, and when the vaults Of the
Bourbons at st. Denys were rifled
