SECRETARY OF STATE CANNOT COMPLY WITH REGENT ACT,
 LACKING STANDARDS.

Little Rock. Sept. 29.-The last leg islature passed an act providing for uniform system of weights and measures throughout the state, or rather for the enforcement of such a law that had already been enacted.
 It vas provided, among other things, that the secertary of state shall "seal,' or o. K., every county standard of weight or measure. for which he shall receive fee of "A per county for $500 for the state.
 But the state has no standards. It may nave had at one time, away back In 1896, when the first act was passed, out if so they have since been lost or destroyed. and no vestige of them re- mains.
 That he might put the law into eff feet. Secretary of State Hodges wrote tO $. w Stratton of the Bureau of Standards, Washington D. C., re- cuest;ng that the state be furnished with | system of weights and meas lures. He has just received letter from Mr Stratton, in which he says :
 ''1he federal government does not now manufacture standards for the states. put recommends that they be purcadsed from some reputable man. ufacturer of standards and sent to this bureau for eertifcation and seal ing, f found t0 comply with our re- quitenents.'

But the secretary of state has no funds with which to purchase these standards, and under the law tests made by county standards are m. official unless they have been seat ed by the state standards. And so it appears that the law cannot be put in to effect thoroughly until there has been additional legislation. In the meantime, many counties are under taking to put the law into effect, for, as rule, their fees will be ample to justify the purchase of complete system of standards.

HUBBY'S HAIR GRAYED
BY WIFIE'S FOOLISHNESS
So Says Mrs. Austin N. Palmer in
Addressing Political Study
Club in New Yori.

New York. Jan. 31.-'1t : not the cost
Of living, but the cost of foolshness
that's graylng the hair OF the modern
husband and father. Needless feminine
folly is the real problem Of home eco
nomics."
There were no men present to cheer
her when Mrs. Austin Nelson Palmer
made this statement in an address be-
fore the Political Study Club to-day, but
she continued:
TOO many irresponsible wives buy ex-
travagant and SNOWY clothes and spend
long days wandering through the shops
or window-shopping.
Yes, window-shopping," she reiterated
glances at her. The window shopper is
the woman who, having spent every
cent she had or could borrow, takes il
out the rest of the month looking. She
may be detected by her meandering gait,
her trance-Iike expression, and the shine
on the end of her nose polished by
plate-glass windows.
Meantime, this window-shopper's
home goes to rack and ruin for lack
of care. and so does her husbands
digestion"
Mrs Palmer described much of the
entertaining done by couples in moderate
circumstances as unnecessary fun
merry" Mrs. Palmer also declared IT
was the "acme of foolishness'' for the
wife OF a small saiaried man to keep a
maid or wear silk stockings and French
millinery.

been bribed by Bert H. Franklin. who
represented himself as an agent OF Oar
row. and a teller from d local hank
testified to having furnished Franklin
with currency on October c, 1911, the
day Of the bribery.
The failure Of the State, however. to
show through Bain's testimony that
there was a definite agreement between
himself and Franklin. that the taking
of 500 with the promise of $500 more
when the case was over, caused him to

Il don't know that ! did" answered
Balm.
when you went into the jury box you
intended TO vote for conviction if the
evidence was strong enough-if the evil
dence was conclusive, you'd convict Nc
Namara?
Yes sir
Then why did you take that sIO0?''
Il don't know. Franklin insisted, and

Franklin insisted the money was paid
him in so bills. When the bank teller.
