DRIVES INTO A STREET CAR
Mrs. Eta Wakefield, a Passenger In

Windshield.

Frightened by the sudden appear
ance of a Prospect Park car at the
corner of Thirteenth street and Fifth
avenue, Moline, Mrs. D. L. Garrison,
TAB Twenty-third street, Rock Island,
last night lost temporary control of
the Buick runaboUt she was driving
with the result that the machine
crashed into the street car. Mrs. Ell
te Wakefield who was q passenger in
the machine, was thrown way over the
windshield and onto the hood of the
machine, where fortunately she secur-
ed hold and held herself from fall
ing to the pavement. Bruises which
are slight were inflicted upon her, but
no serious consequences will come of
them. Mrs. Garrison, braced back of
the wheel, kept her seat until after
the car had been brought to a stop.
She was uninjured.
MACHINE Is DAMAGED.
Shortly after 5 o'clock last evening,
the two women were driving toward
Rock Island. Mrs. Wakefield heard
the approaching car but it could not
be seen so it was not thought that
/ danger was imminent. When it did
| come into sight, Mrs. Garrison shut
off the power of the machine, but did
not apply the brakes. The conse-
quence was that the two vehicles col
lided. The fender of the machine and
the wind shield were damaged.
HOME on STREET CAR.
The occupants of the car had had
enough of auto riding for the day and
so they embarked on a street car fol
their home in this city, while a garage
man was sent for the crippled ma
chine.

TO INVESTIGATE GRADES.
Two owners of property located
near Twenty-sixth street, south of

through as it stood, stating that there
had been enough dilly-dalying and
that no more changes would be made
ORDINANCE HELD UP.
The ordinance for the paving OF
Twenty-third street from Second to
Fourth avenue was held up for a week
because of request of Otto Huber,
voiced by his attorney, B. D. Connolly,
asking that little further time be CIV
en- to allow the owners to look into
the proposition.
CONSIDER THTRTY-EIGHTH STREET.
An ordinance, together with an es-
innate of the cost of the improve
ment, for the paving of Thirty-eighth
street from Seventh to Eighteenth
avenues, was read and considered. The
estimated cost is S64,5O9.5O. Another
improvement ordinance, providing for
the laying OF a 1O-inch sewer along
Fourth street between Sixth and Sew
enth avenues, was considered. The
estimated cost is $3.50.
WANTS TO SUSPEND PORTTCO.
A petition from E. T. Dolly of the
Empire theatre on Fourth avenue near
Nineteenth street, asking that he be
given permission to suspend a portico,
supported by two iron posts set in the
curbing, was laid over. Because of
the construction OF the building, saws
the petitioner it is impossible to sus-
pend the portico by the use of chains.

Commissioner Archie Hart
Voices Sentiment of Union
Forces Against Brick.

Improvement Projects Are Adopted by
Municipal Commisslon-Mess-
ures Transacted.

When Mayor H. NJ. schriver pre-
scented a resolution yesterday after
noon for the adoption of the ordinance
providing for the paving Of Third ave
nue. from Fifteenth to Twenty-fourth
streets, Commissioner Archie Hart
arose to voice the sentiments Of I'M

ington, or any other that is on the IN
fair list 30 far as union labor is con-
cerned. be adopted. The Industrial
Home building at Twenty-first street
and Third avenue ADULTS the thor
oughfare which is to be improved by
paving, and the laboring people rep
resented in the ownership OF the build
ing emphatically decry any liberation
OF the burlington brick. When the
commissioner was informed that 1t
would be impossible for the board of
local Improvements TO specify that any
kind of brick can not be used, he stat
ed that measures would be adopted
after the contract is awarded, there
in effort would be made 10 influence
the contractors to use other than the
Purington brick.
READS COMMUNICATION.
II was Mayor H. NJ. Schriver who re-
piled TO the objection of the commits

ton from c. L. Mcdonald, secretary Of
the Industrial Home association, a

gus Saturday evening, he said that
since he has been in office, II has been
his endeavor to get away from the un-
fair brick. for he, too, is a friend OF
union labor. But under the state
laws, no specifications as TO the make
of brick can be made. Further, he
said:

GovernorEIect Robinson and Educa.
tionai Heads Plan Changes.

Little Rock.-Goyernor-ele Joe T.
Robinson and the heads of several
state educational institutions held a
conference here last week and dis
cussed plans for taking the state in
stitutions out of politics and placing
them on a better financial basis.
The plan most discussed and favor
ably thought of at the meeting was
the plan of placing the state institu-
tons on special tax basis. Mr.
Robinson thought this could be done
without raising the present state tax
alton rate He said that rate of
one mill would be sufficient for all the
institutions and that this rate could
be established without raising the
present total state rate.
Goyernor-elect Robinson also said
that the board should be reorganized
to exclude the ex-officio members.
including the governor himself as this
course would tend to remove politics
from the institutions of the state
A bill will be introduced in the next
legislature including these proposed
reforms. Those present at the confer
ehee were the following: J. II. Rey-
holds, acting presid t of the Univer.
silly OF Arkansas; Dir. c. II. Brough;
deo. A. Cole, president of the agri-
cultural college at Russellville; J. l..
spence, president of the agricultural
school at Monticello; j. J. Doyne,
president of the State Normal Col
iege, and w. T. Sampson of the agri-
cultural college at Magnolia. Other
conferences on this subject will be
held later

HUNTING SEASON GOOD
High Water Caused Wild Game to
Seek High Ground.

Western Newspaper Union News SERVES.
Helena.-Phillips county and the
lower vicinities of this part of the
state, inclusive of the hill lands south
and west of here, open the hunting
season of 1928 under the most ia
vorable auspices and with the greatest
harvest of deer and other game en-
countered in this section in many
years Careful estimates of the situa-
ton show a greater number of deer
this year than has been the case in
long years past, this fact being due
to the recent overflow of the late
spring and summer, which forced the
forest denizens from the low, inundat-
ed sections of the uplands to the hills
and more desirable terra firma of Phil
lips and adjoining counties. Hunters
estimate that the hundreds upon hun
dreds of deer forced from the upper
districts by water and famine found
rest and security in this vicinity, and
already the accuracy of this has been
indicated in the results of the hunting
expeditions starting out and return
ing to this city.

CASE TO HIGHER COURT
Pope County Courthouse Matter to Be
Decided by Supreme Court.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
ussellville.-Another chapter in the
Pope county courthouse controversy
has been written and the question will
now go UP to the Supreme Court for
an opinion as to the power of county
Judge to set aside the action of a
former judge. Circuit Judge Basham,
ON final hearing, sustained the or
ders of Judge Griffin in the matter
and refused the writ of certiorari
which had been asked, and the commits
sioners of public buildings, through
their attorney, Judge Joseph Hill Of
Fort Smith, will appeal to the Supreme
Court.
In May of the present year County
Judge A. B. Shinn ordered the cree
ton of new Jail and courthouse and
appointed S. J. Rye, NJ. r. Craig and
T. p Lewellen as commissioners of
public buildings. They employed an
architect and advertised for bids for
construction of the buildings, at an
estimated cost of about $4,000. Citi-
zens from the east end of the county
protested on the ground that it was
needless and unjustifiable expense
and asked an injunction estopping the
commissioners from further action in
the matter of new courthouse until
the question could come up on its
merits in the circuit court. In the
meantime Ira Griffith had succeeded
A. d. Shinn as county judge, and on

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dam
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit OF
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
free with 32-p Skin Book. Address

that If they do not leave by December
