AUTO PARTY WAS
 GRAND SUCCESS
SALVATION ARMY OUTING FOR POOR WOMEN AND CHILD
 REIN uNRlvAILED HERE
Little Ones Made Happy Throughout the Biggest Day by Many Hours
 of the Whole of Their Career.

There were never quite so many | happy hours crowded into single day, or hardly into a single week or month, of about $50 of the poor mothers and children of Hot Springs than were crowded into their barren | lives yesterday when they were given an automobile outing at Chalybeate | Springs under the auspices Of the l Salvation army.
 Certainly there never was such an auto parade in Hot Springs as that of yesterday morning when thirty six autoa each decorated with an Ameri- can flag and decorated far more with smiling happy faces of youths unac- customed to such treats, wended their way hurriedly through Central Ave, from Ouachita junction to Chaly- beate Springs.
 Tired faced mothers did not mar the happiness of the scene for the tired faces were illuminated with ap- | preciation of the general outing in | their behalf. And as they and the children scrambled into the big automobiles they made about as grand | a picture of satisfied humanity as could be imagined.
 large photo of the crowd just | before it left the triangle was made, which will be furnished to the Sal vation Army weekly, and distributed to every hamlet in the country there by giving Hot Springs some advertis- ing for her hospitality.
 Once the autos pulled up at Chaly- l beate Springs there were just an even dozen of big banana punches strung low from the trees for the little ones to help themselves. Then two big tubs were filled with lemonade, iced and fine, and then sandwiches and cakes and other refreshments were sefved in plenty.
 Fifteeen minutes after the party had arrived on the scene at Chaly Ibeate Springs the little kiddes begar to get into the creek, and waderS were seen for half mile up anC down pattering in the water while the larger boys found a swimming hole.
 The autoists brought the little pic nickers home about o'clock afte the happiest day that had ever mark ed the experience of many of them and to Adiutant Howard of the Sal vation Army was voted a most sin cere appreciation for the occasion.
