ARKANSAS READY
FOR INLAND CANAL

LITTLE ROCK. ARK Specialize
the opening session OF the Lakes-to-
the-Gulf Deep Waterways Associa-
ton thsS assembled here Tuesday, the
annual address by President William
kayanaugh, OF St Louis. was read. He
said:
The people of Little Rock and
Arkansas have participated in
movement which promises more
from an economical standpoint to the
inhabitants of the Mississippi Valley
than any other ever undertaken.
While this assertion may be con-
sidered by some who have only con
sldered the subject in a general way
as broad one, yet to those who have
given thes principles of transportation
careful study and who understand
that transportation Is the basis of civ
ilization, that without transportation
there could not exist any portion of
what is now our modern civilization,
something of my meaning may be
comprehended.
ITO give form TO this philosophy
this association has evolved the slo-
gans that river regulation is rate reg
ulation for transportation. Another
truth, self-evideHt, then naturally fol-
lows, that river regulation is price
regulation. Thus we reach the very
depths of the problem now stirring
the best thought of the entire civilized
world, the cost Of living.
Our leading engineers have already
told us that ii is easily possible to Sc
cure a preliminary depth from the
Lakes to the Gulf of at least four
teen feet, and our consulting engineer,
Lyman l.. Cooley, says a twenty-four-
FOOT channel can be had from the Gulf
OF the st. Lawrence to the Gulf Of
Mexico, $500 miles. for less than the
cost of the Panama Canal.
1t is essentially fitting, now that
the Panama Canal is being completed
that the eyes of the people of this
country be focused on the Lakes-to-
the-Gulf deep waterway project. In
deed, L do not believe that the Pan
anna Canal will be Of that benefit to
the people of the United States that
It's cost would indicate unless this deep
waterway project is successfully and
quickly completed

The State is ready to- 60 ahead

an unusual decision by a Supreme
Court justice can stop the trial

ARREST GIRLS AS
PETTY THIEVES

WASHINGTON, ID. c. Special.
Two girls, each sixteen years old,
pretty and well dressed, were ar
rested Monday by Central Office
Detectives Hewlett and Pratt
charged with having stolen six
rings from g. Il. Karr, a jeweIer.
The pair described themselves as
Lottie LOehl and Helen Wood
ward.
When taken before Inspector
Boardman at headquarters, the
police say, they confessed between
SobS that they had paid a half
dozen visits together TO the store
and walked out each time with a
ring. The six stolen rings are
valued at a little more than 500.
Each wore one ring when arrest
ed. Three others were recovered
from pawnshops. They could not
recOllect what disposition they
hae. made of the sixth.
The girls were taken TO the
house OF detention for action by
the Juvenile Court. Their parents
were notified of their predjca-
ment, and they were soon re-
leased, however, on $50 bond TO
appear before Judge DeIacy. The
methods employed to obtain the
rings are those known to the DO
lice as ''pennyweight'' thefts.
''Pennyweight" thieves enter a
store together and ask TO be
shown some rings. While examin-
ing them they deity palm them,
one at a time, and hand back to
the person behind the counter
cheap duplicates, escaping before
detection. The detectives say the
girls were clever at the trick. At
the jewelers. il was said a young
woman waited on the accused six
times before they were suspected.
Their visits began a month ago.
Each time after inspecting a tray
ful of rings they walked out with
one, the police say. Their last
visit took place Saturday. After
they had departed the proprietor
became suspicious and inspected
his stock. FINDING six cheap rings
in his trays, he suspected these
girls and furnished an accurate
description OF the pair. Helen
Woodward was arrested I'm a the
alter and the other on T. Street.
near Thirteenth, few minutes
later. A craving for Jewels was
blamed by both girls for their
troubles. The most valuable ring.
worth $40, is still missing.

The evening frock of the coming

and panniered design of early spring.
The tunic remains as a popular mode,

Chiffon shot with gold or silver is
among the lOVeliest new fabrics for
evening gowns.
In Paris the new blouses of crepe
de chine have little collars and revers
of white satin.
Summer ermine. less white than the
variety usually seen, is much in vogue
just now.
Nothing is smarter for a young
girls school frock than a box-pleated
serge with removable cuffs and patent
leather belt.
The sloping cutaway line of the
new coats finds an expression in
dresses in the slanting lines of sur
plices and tunics.
No better hat for outing or country
wear can be had than the "peanit'
or palm fibre, trimmed with "A Ro-
man or chiffon scarf.
Favorite raincoats are on nainsook
lines, some having the belted back
and adjustable collar. Some recent
models are only seven-eights long.
The newest silk hosiery has the eff
