FUNERAL OF
 JUICE J. H. HARROD.

Little Rock, July 14-The fun eral of Judge J. H. Harrod was held from the family residence, 9OO0 Broadway Sunday afternoon with interment in Oaklawn ceme- terv The cortege was one of the longest ever seen in Little Rock, attesting the popularity of the distinguished barrister who was killed in an automobile accident Friday. The floral offerings were profound and many came from cities in adjoining states.
 Among the messages of condo lence received Sunday was one from President Woodrow Wilson a college classmate of Judge Harrod who had just heard of the fatal accident. The message was sent from the summer home of Pres. Wilson, Senator Clarke and the Arkansas representative in Congress also telegraphed their condolence to the bereaved family.
 Little Rock is much divided in it's feelings toward James E. Madding, the young man who was driving the automobile which struck Judge Harrod and many believe that he has been sufficen tly punished. Fully as many be lieve that the laW should make an example of young Madding, for the protection of others. They argue that had Madding been driving the car carefully, he would not have been going at such a rapid rate of speed that he could not stop his car when he saw the street car.
 Madding was exhonorated by the coroners'. jury, it being de clared an unavoidable accident, This view was taken because when Madding saw Judge Har- rod, it was then impossible for him to stop the car. Those who favor strict enforcement of the law, which Deputy Prosecuting Attorney NJ. E. Dunaway as serts is coming, declare that had Madding been driving his car at a safe rate of speed, there would have been no un-avoidad- le accident"
 The car being driven by Mad. dlng was capable of making bet ter time than any other car in Little Rock, experts saying it is the only one which can make 75 miles per hour:
 James Coates the II year old son ot John Coates, who was in- lured at the time Judge Harrod was killed, saved himself from instant death by grabbing the render of the car. Hr sustained oeep cut across his throat, a saSh In his forehead, slight concussidn of the brain, a dislo. ca'ed hip and ihternial troubles.

adding little by little until large vocabulary Ia
acquired. This is the foundation of the new
method of teaching known as the phonic method.
The first important thing for the child to
learn is reading in order that it may be able to
gain information for itself It is therefore OF
the greatest importance that the child be taught
this as soon possible.
With the time-wasung alphabet child was
considered somewhat of a prodigy that could
master the letters and their order at the age of
five years. Many months were wasted by the
children in having those twenty-six characters
implanted in their minds 1t has been demon
strated by the new phonic system that children
can acquire the ability to read in much less
time than by the old Abe method. and advance
ment is much rapid
Sounds and not names of letters should be
mastered first. for words are only sounds or COM
binatons of sounds If the name of the letter is
learned first, as under the old method. 1t inter
feres with the appreciation of the sound element

process of learning to read

recognize certain Words the names OF the let

tiers and spelling introduced The primary
work, however. is to teach the child TO read, and
knowledge Of the alphabet is not necessary to
accomplish this.
by the phonic method the child is taught To
recognize the word and its name as whole For
instance. the word dog is recognized taken in
and absorbed by the child as one thing In its
entirety, instead of learning the three distinct
characters of which the word is composed It
is just as easy for the child to do this as to re-
sort to the old, cumbersome method OF picking
out the three separate characters
Many who are teaching reading by the old
A-BC method think that is the best possible
way. but the Modern Progress Lea que has shown
by actual practise that under the new plan chill
dren can be taught to read quite intelllgently
without knowing single letter by name.
One OF the advocates OF this system was
questioned as to whether this phonic reading
would not tend to make the child poor speller
He said: II do not believe the new method
makes poor spoilers. But do think the old
system Of striking out the silent letters in words
did affect the spelling. On the whole think

The Town Where the CYCL ONES ARE BORN

ClENCE mas at last placed its finger upon exact
birthplace OF the cyclones which from time to time
work devastation through the West According
10 Dr. Emil Schildenkrantz, eminent German meteor
ooglst who has been visiting country the cradle
OF the cyclone lies in the town of Yuma, Colorado
There is born and nurtured the whrling tornado-the
deadhest type of destructive wind, verabe dancing
dervish of the gales.
Yuma lies about l3s miles of Denver in the foot
hills OF the Rocky Mountains. altitude is fortyone
hundred feet.
1t is generally agreed among the weather experts
that the destructive whiring winds are caused By
vacuum which forms in the air and produces a dark
unne!-shaped cloud that whirs about with tremendous
force IN the manner OF summerresort merry goround
AS soon as this vacuum FORMS the air rushes In to
NIL It, because, the text books say nature abhors
vacuum. The air is then apt TO swirl about in circle
or spiral which results in twisting OF cyclone
Bearing these things in mind, DR.. Schtldenkrantz
determined to locate the spot where natural conditions
made the formation of vacuums likely He studied
the trail OF the recent cyclone that swept through
north Kansas and expended its chief fury on the civ
OF Omaha and followed it to its mysterious beginning

cease to grow tall at the age of
seventeen and girls at the age Of
fifteen
After child has passed the in
fancy stage its increase In height
is subject to many variations. For
example. the growing boy or girl will
measure over one-third Of an inch
taller In the morning than In the
evening OF the same day. This Is
due to the fact that the erect
posture during the daytime puts the
body's weight on the spinal column,
COMPRISING its segments, increasing
its curves. and lowering the arches
or the feet on which the weight
eventually falls. A nights rest in a
horizontal position overcomes this
change, and by morning the
body has returned to Its full
height.
The season Of the year is another
important factor influencing a child's
increase in height. The increase Is
fastest from April to July, and slow
est from August to December. Growth
is retarded by school work, but quick

Another remarkable thing about the babys skeleton

is due partly TO the fact that baby's brain is rela-
