ARKANSAS goes $4,000 against
Prohibition. Everything in the
State is Democratic. The most
prominent feature of the election
is the probable elimination of
Gov. Donaghey from future politi-

vocate of Prohibition, and it's de-
feat leaves him "high and dry"

SOME time in the long past some
one exclaimed, 80 that mine en-
envy had written a book!" Now,
both Woodrow Wilson and the
Terrible Teddy have written sew
eral books, but I have not heard
of their ante -dating them ''to serve
a friend" A single line may be
more damning than a big volume.

Studx of Theatre Fire

From the Westminster Gazette.
 A fasciriating and valuable experiment
 is to be carried out in the near future
 by the chief. of the Dusseldorf fire, nri-
 gade. Its object is to determine ''scien-
 tfcally'' the resistance of theatre hre
 and it's resultant dangers.
 The exact scale model of the Munich ral theatre is to be constructed, the scale. being one-tenth for the stage and one-eighth for the building. The model will be eighty feet in length by forty | five feet wide, and the only materials employed. in the construction will be iron, reinforced cement and fireproof wood A double steel safety curtain. one ris- ing the other falling, will separate the stage from the auditorium. As the ex- pertinent progresses different methods of emtating different air currents will ns employed. Various kinds of firses will be | lighted in the interior and during the confagraton the interior temperature will be recorded.
 The cost of the experiment is stated l to be R450o, which will be supplied by some of the great industrial organisa' tons, directly interested. Various insur- ance companies have, as was only to be expected, promised other important grants in aid. Nevertheless the experi-
 ments will be under the supervision 'oi l the state. 1 Ins the German + announcement it is stated that the association of German i PriEades. the International Council o1
 Salvage and Fire Brigades and the Brit l :sh Fire Protection committee are takins
 an active interest in the experiments
 of which the most important will natur-
 ally be last, the trial of various methods
 of extinguishing the fires. supplying wa ter and the examination of the possbili- lty of completely submerging auditorium and the stage.

 Tramping to the Holy Land the way the Russian pilgrims go. came lately to Now Athos, the most wonderful monastery of the Russian world. New Athos or Novy sAfon, as the Russians call 1t. Is an estap- .lishment resembling what the best of Flu ropean rnonasteries must have been prior to 15S6 l~.
 It is in itself, by it's example. defence of all monasteries, place to which stu dents should Journey if they wish to un- derstand all the possibilities for good in institutions once condemned as essentially evil. There once more armies of work raen are employed every day and building never ceases. No one seeking work Is ever refused, not even the criminal or the passportless tramp. <
 There all corners receive the monk s hospitality of bed and board. and wornoui pilgrims are furnished with clothes and money to take them home or to take them farther on their journey. The mon<s own vast estates. where they grow their own corn and cultivate the vine and the olive They have orange and lemon woods. Nflf
 They grind the corn in their mills and make their own bread; they press the grape and the monastery tables tell how generous is the supply of wine.

Jim BruCe's Parents Win
COnviCt'S Release

Atlanta, Nov. 26.-John Bruce and
his wife, Sallie, respectively 69 and "a
years old, walked all the way from
their home near Ball Ground In Pick
cns county, to Atlanta to urge the
prison commission and the governor 10
pardon their son, and today the gov
ernor ordered the release on parole of
I'm Bruce, who was serving term in
tie penitentiary for robbery.
This is the third trip on foot for the
father John Bruce. who came to At
lanta ON the same mission twice be-
FORE, walking each time nearly 100
miles and back. This time he brought
his wife with him and the combi-
nation proved too much for the prison
commission and governor and the
boys release was the result.
There were extenuating circum-
stances In his case.
The Bruces left for Ball Ground to-
day and will reach there Saturday.
They walk about 35 miles day. The
son has been released from the prison
farm already and will join them in
time for Thanksgiving dinner If not
before.
