HEAVY RAINS CAUSE LOSS AND INCONVENIENCE TO CITY OF
 LITTLE ROCK.
SEVERAL TOWNS ISOLATED
Downpour Was GeneraI-e56 Inches Fell in IS Hours-Gas Main
 Broken.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock-The capital city last week had taste of what a flood means to some cities and towns. A rainfall of 9.56 inches in IS hours caused the suspension of nearly all railroad traffic on account of washouts and overflows. The city of Little Rock depends chiefly on gas for fuel and this was cut off by a break in the main near Benton, Ark.
 1t is at a point where the 16-inch pipe passes through Hurricane creek, two or three miles north of Benton. Ordinarily small stream, the creek was swollen to a depth of about Ia feet.
 While taking only a few hours to repair the break the problem was get ting to it as there were no trains able to leave the city for several hours
 As result of the break 1000 Little Rock homes were without fuel and ap- proXimatoly 1000 men were thrown out of employment in the 40 factories where natural gas is used as fuel.
 Hotels and restaurants were hit hard when the gas supply failed. At practi- caily all of them. natural gas was used for cooking, and they were obliged to hastily secure gasoline stoves when the gas supply failed. It was impos. sible to cook much on these, and the menus were considerably curtailed.
 A total of 23 roofs on down own business buildings were inspected fol. lowing the record downpour of rain, In all cases the rain was found to have been driven through the metal joints in the roofing material, and in several cases slight damage result ed. That several downtown business houses have been weakened by water seeping through their foundations was also the opinion eXpresSesd
 The inability of the storm sewer system to carry off the great amount of water throughout the day was eyi- denced at the foot of every grade in the city Manholes spouting water like small geysers could be seen weighted down with heavy rocks to prevent possible accidents. One such artificial spouter at the foot of the hill at the Union station threw a column of water two feet in diameter to a height of five feet
 Little Rock alone was not the only one to suffer but the state in gen. eral experienced heavy rains.
 Some towns and cities were com. pletely isolated from the oustide world by the stopping of railroad traffic Hot Springs only had one telegraph wire working for several days.
 At Benton 300 passengers were ma rooned by washouts on the railroads
 Following the rains came a drop in temperature that caused the friut growers a good deal of worry.

BETTER TO ELIMINATE HAND
World VIII Improve When Machinery
Takes its Place a. the Motive
Power.

The elimination of the human hand
is the watchword or battle cry of
many Of the workers for pure-food
laws and regulations. And It Is the
aim Of many OF the big producers of
foods, too. The state OF New Hamp-
shire not long ago rendered q deci-
sion forcing bread to be wrapped
when It was sold. And some of the
big factories where crackers and bis
cults are made, for instance. have SO
far eliminated the human hand that
you see human hands only manipu-
lating the big steel machine hands
that touch the food.
So much for the efforts of state
and factory. How about your own
house?
Does the human hand have . too
prominent part In the making of
your homemade bread? Even II II
is your own hand. It had better not
be used unnecessarily In the prepar-
alton Of food. From both the stand
point of health and that Of economy.
the use of the human hanL when It
is possible not TO use It ought to be
avoided.
Make this the watchword of your
Kitchen, and 30 help advance . ma.
tion.wide effort for better food and
better economy In its making.

the wheel. What they want me to
fight for is more than I can tell

THERE ARE TIRE L
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car. or
sell or trade it in on a new
one--it will pay you we'll
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch OF the business
at Newcastle, Ind. (center
of population Of the U. S.
Here we have a $l,7S0.000
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
Of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 2Ofo January let,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE TH1S-Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con-
cern. having bought the
plants and assets Of a bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation Of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.

Why. Id get a good woman and

And It is highly probable that the
