AREAS OF HIGH PRESSURE

10 eliminate soul anu heart entirely
BE they right or wrong. the fact re-
mains that at this very critical in
slant when Miss Adeline Hayden left
her table by the open window a wan
dering zephyr OF south wind which
had been playing among the flowers
and trees and rose bushes OF the gar
den, spied the open sheet OF fine
monogrammed paper. Then. seeing
That IT was loose. the mischievous
zephyr gave one jerk and pulled the
paper through the window. whirled IL
away among the trees, out over the
garden wall and into the street.
There Antonio Motto was at work
with his wheeibarrow, broom. shovel
and sprinkling can. Antonio was a
little Italian, swarihy. black nous

cap.
Antonio saw the bit OF paper come
lying into the street. He dropped his
broom and followed H. The ZEPHYR.
after leading him a merry chase for
while, allowed him 10 capture the
prize. Antonio could not read but he
saw that the paper was fine. that one

pretty picture He opered his coat

THE GRAND.

1.-The Black Hand" a Kalem COM
edy, with Ruth Roland and John
Brennan, on the reel with "The Egyp-
tian Mummy" also a comedy, will be
the headliner at the Grand tonight.
Tom vainly endeavors to convince
Clara's father he will make desira-
BILE son-in-law. The old man not only
refuses to be convinced, but prohibits
Tom from visiting Clara. The father
becomes very nervous when he reads
about the Black Hand escapades. Tom
conceives the idea of masquerading as
colored cook and securing employ
ment at the Montford home. His
makeup is not of the permanent kind,
and everything he touches leaves a
mark which brings terror to the faith
er. The old man soon withdraws his
objections.
"The Perilous Ride" Lubin dra-
ma, and Pathe's Weekly will be shown
at the Grand tonight.

BEST METHOD OF
OILlNG THE STREETS
STREET COMMISSIONER HON
EYCUTT OF CROSSETT AN
SWERS INQUIRIES.

In answer to a letter of inquiry as
to the proper method and cost of OIL
ing the streets of this city, L. L. Hon
eycutt, street commissioner at Cros-
sett, Ark, says:
ITO oil the streets effectively, they
should be cleaned of all trash and the
oil put on with sprinkler made for
that purpose. The oil must be applied
in hot, dry weather, as it will not
penetrate the ground if there is water
in it, The dust should be one-half to
one inch in depth and very dry, also
the hotter the better, as the oil goes
in faster whwen it is hot and dry. You
can get the oil from any of the oil
companies. We bought this year of
the Gay Oil Co., of Little Rock. If
you buy of them, get No. 20-22 road
oil. If you buy of Waters-Pierce Oil
Co. get their No. 3 road oil. The
Waters-P Pierce people and the Stand
ard are the same, as to number and
quality. The price is about the same
with either company, and will cost
about 6 cents a gallon, delivered in
car tanks of 5000 gallons or more. 1t
will require one-half gallon of oil to
the square foot of street, put on slow
enough to allow it to go into the
ground without pudding or standing
in tracks and low places

"Do it Now" Powers comedy, will

1t is little farce that has good
laughs a-plenty and that will be thor
oughly enjoyed by all kinds of specta-

printed, "Do it Now" The senior
clerk, who has been losing heavily on
the races, is tempted to break the safe,
and does it now The junior clerk
wants to run away with his employ
er's daughter, and does it now This
idea is made much of in several diff

of the "Do it Now" cards comes with
a fresh idea for a card to advise
boosting he gets boosted, and neatly.

URGES PARENTS TO
SEND THEIR BLIND

Little Rock, Aug. 9.-Fearing Of
they are parted from their blind chill
dren, to send them to the State School
for the Blind, they will never see them
again, accounts for the failure of
number of parents Of blind children to
send them to that institution, is the
opinion of Judge Rand Love of the
State Board of Charities.
Judge Love mas been making a
tour of Arkansas, going into the re-
mote regions in an effort to have the
80 blind children who are not enroll
ed at the blind school sent to the in
stitution this fall He has visited
over 80 families, and with the single
exception of one, which expects to
move out of the state, all have prom
ised TO send the children. Judge Love
has explained that the children will
receive railroad fare, their clothes and
be cared for during the school year at
the expense of the state.
Most of the parents apparently
considered a trip to Little Rock an ex-
ertion of lifetime, and out of their
care, they would never see them again.
There are three blind children in the
rural districts of Pulaski county, less
than 20 miles from the school, whose
parents have never entered them,
though annually solicited to do so.
The parents cannot fathom the inter-
est of the state in the blind children,
such as to do so much for nothing.
