'CH|LDREN'S DAY.
 |S PROCLAIMED
GOV. HAYS SETS ASIDE DECEM- SER 10 TO BE OBSERVED
 OVER STATE.
SAYS SUBJECT IS IMPORTANT
Executive Believes Solution of Crime Problem Lies in Proper Care and
 Training of Children.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-Wednesday December 10 has been set aside by Gov. Hays as .Chlldren's Day" Gov, Hays took this action as the result of several : quests being made to him by many parties over the state.
 The governor in his proclamation setting aside the day says in part:
 We for years have celebrated such days as Washington's birthday, the Fourth of July, mothers day and oth- CTS too numerous to mention and this is, think, as it should be. However, It is time that we were turning more to the future and the development of our future citizenship, and a day set apart as Children's day, no doubt, will be big factor in such development.
 The ultimate solution of our crime problem is the proper care and train ing of our boys and girls. Few people become criminals after they have reached the age of 21.
 Such day, if used wisely, would serve to direct the thoughts of the boys and girls of our state to the du- ties and responsibilities of citizenship, and to the value of health and clean liness of mind and body, of education, of morals and physical courage, and of courtesy and generosity, and in mak- ing their lives both successful and happy. In fact, the possibility for good in a day of this kind, rightfully used, cannot be overestimated"

GERMAN ARTIST
PRAISED BY CRITIC
Prof. BIayney Tells Audience of Al
brecht Durer, Artist, and Sig
uifcance of His Work.

Art lovers who filed the auditorium of
the new National Museum last night
heard a most appreciatlve Interpretation
of the painting and engraving Of
Albrecht Dyrer who was characterized
by DR.. T. Lindsey Blayney. the lecturer.
as THE frst complete embodiment of the
spirit of German art"
Dr.. Elayney, who is professor of Ger
marics at the Rice Institute for the Ad-
VanCemenJ Of Letters. Science. and Art
Of Houston. Tex. traced svppatheticlll|
and interestingly the life and artistic
significance Of DUrer and his work ard
showed the Important place wrich this
pioneer occupies in the art history of the
race. Durer. born in the years immedi-
ately preceding the great religious and
political upheavaI of the Reformation,
was strongly affected by the turbulent
atmosphere of his time, as is indicated
in his work dealing with religious sub
Jccts
DR.. Blayney pointed out that, though
Durer made journeys to Italy and was
in some sense affecIC by his contact
with the less harsh technique OF the
south. his essentially German nature re-
mained undefiled and his individuality
of expression unimpaired. One of the
artists great works, in DR.. Elavney's
opinion. as we'll as in the estimation of
other recognized critics. is THE Adora-
tior of the Masi," which has the distinc-
ton of hanging in the Tftizi Gallery at
Florence among a select group of the
best art works in tie world.
DIR. Blayney was presented to the audi
ence by DIR. George F. Bcwerman.
librarian of the Carnegie Library. who
spoke highly uf his ability as an art
critic, and referred to the institution of
whose faculty he is a member as zone
of tn" most richly endowed institutions
in America-an institution of which little
is generally known as yet, but of which
much will be heard in the future" The
Rice Institute has an endowment of be-
tween s12,01d000 ard $l5,0oO.0o0 II was
formally opened the past October.

FISHMARKET
PROBLEM NOT
YET SETTLED
Treasurer cCarthy Will Grant
No Licenses Until Board OF
:. Health Permits

Contrary to expectation, the fish
market license question was not amic-
ably settled at the meeting of the
board of health yesterday afternoon.
Instead. County Treasurer Mccarthy
is preparing to Issue an ultimatum''
TO the fishmarket owners. Backed by
the health board, he will issue no II
censes to the : owners unless they
comply with the sanitary regulations
promulgated by the board. and if the
licenses are not obtained within a
reasonable time the markets will be
closed. 8, !. III -. - = ~
Only one hui OF owners was repre-
presented at yesterday 81 meeting. At
torney A. L. c, Atkinson appearing
in deir behalf and explaining that
they are endeayoring to comply with
the regulations. ~
In the two hours discussion of the
question the sentiment was expressed
that the board of supervisors had
passed the buck" up to the terri
torial health board. The new laws
passed by the last legislature give the
territorial authorities full control Of
the markets In the matter of santa
ton, but thinking the supervisors
would prefer to exercise control of
a purely local situation, the board
had handed the investigation OF the
markets over to the, municipal body.
The supervisors had reported that
the markets were clean but inspec-
tion sby members of the health board
had shown such was not the case.
Now, with the cooperation promised
Ny the county treasurer, the health
board promises to assume full charge
of the situation, resorting to drastic
measures if necessary, to compel
compliance with the sanitary regula-
tions.
The regulations. governing the re-
lease Of diphtheria convalescents, re-
Gently prepared as a result OF. the
mild contagion among the school
children, were adopted. New quaran-
tine rules also were discussed, but no
action will be taken until the next
meeting.
Inspection of the 80 lots in the Ke.
walo reclamation district, which
probably will be condemned and add
ed to the reclamation project, was
postponed until o'clock next Mon.
day morning. when the board will
meet and visit the land.
