VACCINATION MAY BE
 ENFORCED IN SCHOOLS
Attorney General Moose UphOlds State Board of Health in Rule That All Teachers, Children and
 Employees Be Vaccinated.

Little Rock, Aug. 27.-Attorney General Moose has upheld the state board of health in the prOmulgation of the rule recently announced re- quiring all school teachers, chil- dren and employees to be vaccinated. This rule was formulated under the following section of an act by the last legislature:
 "Power is hereby conferred upon the Arkansas State Board of Health to make all necessary and reason able rules and regulations of a gen. pral nature for the protection of the public health, and for the general amclioraton of the sanitary and hy-ienic conditions within the state for the suppression and prevention of infectious, contagious and com municablc diseases, and for the proper enforcement of quarantine,
 isolation and control of such dis caSes.'
 Attorney General Moose says: ."It is my opinion that it is the duty of the directors of the public schools, and all other schools of the state. to assist the state board of health in the enforcement of this rule. The state board of health has abundant authority under the pro- vision of the statute to promulgate this rule, and our supreme court, in the ease of Auten Vs. School Board of Little Rock, has approved simi- lar rule promulgated by the board of health of Little Rock. The court says:
 "'The question whether the pub lie health iustifies this regulation was a matter for the school board, and the board of health and city authorities to decide. Ii was a matter left 10 their discretion. The responsibility and duty of deciding this matter being placed upon them, the courts have no right to inter- fere and control their discretion, unless it is clearly shown that the regulation was unreasonable and unnecessary
 In conclusion Judge Moose says: This decision was made prior to the state board of health act, and before specific authority was given by law for the promulgation of such a rule. The present state board of health was specifically au- thorized by the act of 1913 to make this rule, and there is no doubt in my mind that the courts will sus- tain the state board of health and the directors of schools in their ef- forts to enforce the same in letter and spirit"

GOOD ROADS IN NEVADA.
Prescott Expects 2,000 Men to Turn
 Out Wednesday and Thursday.

Prescott, Aug. 3O.-The good roads spirit has been with the peo- pie of this vicinity and county for some time, and they are becoming more and more enthusiastic every day. Good roads and better roads are discussed on every hand, and as the days which the governor has set apart as Good Roads Days draw near more interest is being shown.
 County Judge J. NJ. Thomas has issued a request that everybody in the county get ready to work on those two days, and says there ought to be at least 2000 men working on the roads on those days. He asks that someone in each To- cality take the matter in hand, or ganize the forces and be ready for the work by September 3 and 1, and there will no doubt be a large turn out with teams and tools.

TARIFF BILL PASSES
 ITS FIRST READING
However, Some Important New Features Remain for Senate
 to Settle.

Washington, Aug. 3i.-The Sen ate heaved a sigh of relief last night when, just before adjourn ment, it completed the first reading of the new tariff bill. Although many of the most important new features of the measure remain to be settled, Senate leaders agreed that the disposal of the first read ing of the bill had brought the passage of the measure within view and that another week may witness it's completion and passage.
 The rate of the new income tax, the proposed tax on cotton futures, many provisions of the administra- tive features of the law, the sug- gested tax rebate of 5 per cent for imports brought in American ships, and many other sections of the measure that will occasion debate were put over without action and will be taken up next week.
 Senator Morris announced that before the bill was completed he would propose an amendment di- rected at the Brazil coffee monOp- oly, giving the president authority to levy a 9 per cent duty on a pro- duet controlled through monopoly or conspiracy in another country.

METEOR FELL WITH A BANG.
Aerial Wanderer SplaShed in Rhode
 Island, Shaking State.

Tiverton, R. l., Aug. 29.-A me teor fell into the Sea Connett river here yesterday, churning up the waters in a spectacular manner Great volumes of steam arose and the accompanying explosion sound ed like the discharge of a 12-inch gun.
 The meteor fell during an cleo trical storm. The crash. resemb- ling thunder, was heard for a dis tance of 20 miles. In the immediate vicinity windows were broken and crOckery shaken from shelves. while at Island Park, nearly two miles away, a merry-go-round was jared into motion. Persons who saw the meteor assert it was of un- usual size, and travelled so rapidly as to appear from a short distance almost like a flash of lightning.

THEIR HOPE IN KAFFIR CORN.

Augusta, Kas., Aug 3O.-The long, unbroken drought will not make the katlir a failure in this section. The kaf1ir heads are filling nicely and the prospect promises at least a 50 per cent crop. This will tide the farmers over until a new crop comes in.
 Charles Hyde, a thresherman of this city, has been looking over the katlir fields, and he reports that when harvesting time comes the people will be agreeably surprised to find that they are getting a fairly good crop. As a drought resister, katfir has won first place this sea son.

WATER WORSE TITAN FIRE.
Chemical Bombs Will Be Fireman'S

Chicago, Aug. 3O.-Guns that will shoot chemical bombs into blazing buildings will replace streams or water in fighting big fires within the near future, according to simon Kellonman. ir.. national statistlcian of the National Firemans Assocla- ton. in convention here,
 The use of water in combating blazes will be well nigh done away with within the next five years, said Kellonman today Most Of the small fires in the large cities are now put out by use of the chem icals.
 The loss of property will be much smaller when chemical bombs come into use. Statistics show that in many fires the loss from water greatly exceeds the actual loss by flames

KAISER HOLDS KEY
 TO WORLD PEACE
Andrew Carnegie Makes Declara- ton at an UnVeiling in The Hague and Pays High Tribute to
 German Emperor.

The Hague, Aug. 29.-AndreW
 Carnegie was the chief speaker to- day at the unveiling in the palace of peace of bust of the late Sir William Randall Cremer, originator of the inter-parliamentary peace conferences and for 37 years sec retary of the International Arbitra- tion League.
 Cremer, a carpenter, rose through his efforts toward international peace to be a member of parlia- ment. He was knighted by King Edward VII, and received the Nobel peace prize.
 Leader Can Bring Peace.
 Mir. Carnegie spoke of Cremer as the pioneer in the greatest of all causes-the abolition of war" He then referred to the interdepend- ence of nations, remarking that their annual exchanges in the nor maj course of trade now amounted to 3312 billion dollars and were in creasing rapidly. Giving statistics of Anglo-German trade, Mr. Car negie said:
 Why should these two nations, mother and daughter, quarrel? Why should they not agree to de- mand peace
 The only thing required for a world peace agreement is the CO., operation of three or four of the leading civilized powers against the disturbers."
 After paying a tribute to the Rus sian emperor for calling the first peace conference, Mr. Carnegie said:
 Surveying the world today, the most striking figure to be seen is that of another emperor-the Ger man emperor-who recently cele- brated his Lwenty-fifth year of a peaceful reign His hands are un- stained with human blood-a unique record. Hence Germany's astounding progress, educationally, and commercially, proving that the greatest of all na- tionaI blessings is peace.
 Kaiser key to Situation.
 If the German emperor were to invite the chief nations to confer upon the best methods for securing and insuring the worlds peace, suc- cess would certainly follow.
 All the worlds inventions and have been achieved by slight advances after the ground had been thoroughly prepared. So probably would it be the change from barbarous war to civilized peace. One small spark would cre- ate a flame. The German emperor holds in his hand the torch"
 MT. Carnegie related how Dr. An drew White, former United States ambassador to St. Petersburg and Berlin, had left the first conference at the Hague when the German delegation was about to withdraw, and by an appeal to the German had secured it's continued attenadnce. He suggested a repeti- ton of the pilgrimage, and an ap- peal to the German emperor to call another conference, adding:
 Men killing each other like wild beasts in civilized lands would no longer disgrace humanity; civiliza- ton would have supplanted bar barism. God speed that day, which l am certain will come soon. Man was created to ascend, and by the law of his being he must march up ward and onward to perfection. Be of good cheer, soldiers of peace"

RESEMBLES A MERMAID.
II the Dugong Had Long Hair Il
Would Make a Real Sea Woman.

The old stories about mermaids do
not seem so improbable after all when
one looks at Il full sized dugong. The
sea woman is long hair.
This enormous fish has t1ippers in
stead of fins and rudimentary arms.
The flipperS end in four distinct fingers
and are startingly like the human
hand The shoulders of this weird
marine creature slope in to short but
perfectly defined neck. on which is set
a round head. The eyes are like q hu.
man beings in shape and expression.
but very much larger. They are set
far apart on each side of the head and
have brown iris swimming in a white
ball. but are lidless. The dugong has
no nose, but the forehead is broad and
well developed, and while the mouth
is "fishy" in shape there Is a distinct
under lip.
The dugong Is twice the height of q
tall man when it is full grown. and a
mother dugong moving about through
the water holds her baby tenderly in
her arms" pressed to her breast. just
as human mother does.
Glimpses of this strange fnhabitant
OF the sea no doubt gave rise to the
old time belief in mermaids. The
dugong Is rapidly becoming extinct.
but still can be found in fairly large
numbers in the Indian ocean. - New

SICKROOM PLANTS.
Why They Should Be Put Out Of Doors
Ourinu tho NIGHT,

In his random suggestions to his
students. printed in the Medical Rec
ord. Robert III. NJ. Dawbarn, NJ. D..
tells why it Is considered best not to
keep flowers or growing plants In a
sickroom at night Flowers give off
moisture taken up from the soil; hence
air becomes somewhat humid If many
particularly growing plants-are kept
in the room. Flowers having a meth
cd Of breathing, they use up the oxy-
gen as human beings do and in ex-
change give off carbonic dioxide as
waste matter.
The action of sunlight upon the
stems. leaves and all green parts of
flowers is to store carbonic dioxide
within the plants and release oxygen.
Thus in daylight there Is a fair bal
ance between the carbonic dioxide and
the oxygen given and taken, leaving
neither good nor i'll results. But dur
ing the entire night the plant contin-
ues to breathe. and until the return of
daylight the oxygen is used just like
an additional person breathing in the
room, thus leaving less oxygen for the
use of the invalid. Therefore the
standing order to remove all plants
and flowers at night is based upon the
facts of plant physiology and is right.

of sending him money. sent him 16a

a liberal commission if be would sell
them among his distinguished friends.
He gratefully accepted the offer and
