TWO ACTS FOR
 NEXT LEGISLATURE

Little Rock, July 30-Two very important acts for the next leg lslature to pass are to be initiated ed by M. J. McMahon, deputy Commissioner of labor, and the petitions will soon be incircula tion. These are child labor law and the bank guaranty. It re- quires about 13,00O signatures to initiate an act, and MT. McMah- on figures that it will take but few days to secure this number, once the petitions are started. The child labor law is a copy of the act which is being adopted by state legislatures all over the United States, in an effort to have uniform laws all over the nation. It is very long act, and for that reason il will be quite expensive for the state to have it published before the next election when it will be voted upon by the people, but the question has been before several legislatures only to be side tracked, and the labor organizations intend that the peo pie shall force the legislature to act.
 The bank guaranty feature has several times been proposed in the legislature, to be voted down and when the state banking law was passed it failed to be incor- porated in it. This is considered the principal feature of the banking laws of the state, and those who initiate it believe the people will vote so overwhelming Vy for it that the legislature of 1915 will pass it in record time.

FUTRELL MAY NOT
 MAKE APPOINTMENT

Little Rock, July 30-Unless Judge Geo. w. Hays requests it, and then he will be asked to make the recommendation of the man he would like to see ap. pointed, Gov. J. M. Futrell will not make an appointment to fill the vacancy in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, caused by the election of Judge Hays as Cover nor. Gov. Futrell states there will be a special election to fill the vacancy, but an appointment must be made before this can take place. He has declined to make the appointment, though a number have sought the honor, saying he will leave it for Judge Hays to select his own successor believing he is better advised as to the qualifications of the men in the district, who would be likely to accept the temporary appointment.

BRIDE FOUND, LOST AGAIN
MRS. HARVEY DEAN ASSERTS HUSBAND THREATENED HER.
Train for lola, but Leaves 1t at Intermediate Station.

Neodesha, Kan, July 30.-Mrs. Mary Armstrong Dean, 15 years old, after making her identity known here and telling why she left Harvey Dean, her husband of three days, in a park at lola last week, has disappeared again. She boarded train here, os- tensibly for lola, but when it reached passengers.
 Mrs. Dean, who was found here at the home of J. T. McCord, father of H. M. McCord of lola, the man with whom she said she ran away, said her husband was madly jealous of her, had threatened to kill her, and that she accepted the protection of Nc Cord because he interfered in her be- half during violent quarrel, in which she and her husband were engaged. She said she went with McCord of her own accord, and was glad to do so.
 q left Harvey Dean because he threatened to kill me-" Mrs. Dean said. "The man 1 went away with, H. NJ. McCord, l never saw until he pro- tected me in the park at lola when my husband threatened to kill me with a knife When he saved me 1 went with him gladly.
 q was forced to marry Dean by his parents and my parents. 1 am only 15 years old. 1 will never live with Dean and expect to get a divorce from him as soon as l can. l will not go home to my folks, but will go to work In lola"
 Mrs. Dean is comedy in appearance and rather large for her age. She showed no agitation as she told her story She and her husband had spent their lives in the rural districts, she said, and neither ever had been in a city as large as lola before arriving there on their honeymoon trip last week

turn HAIR DARK
With sage TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur 1t Darkens So
Naturally Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's treatment, and folks are again
using 1t to keep their hair good, even
color, which is quite sensible, as we
are living in an age when youthful
appearance Is of the greatest advant-
age.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" for about so cents n
bottle. 1t is very popular because no.
body can discover 1t has been applied.
Simply moisten your comb or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also produc-
es that soft lustre and appearance of
abundance which is so attractive, be-
sides prevents dandruff, itching scalp
and falling hair. Hooks Pharmacy.

5000 MILES
OF CHILDREN
Will You Care for a Half q
Mile?

The procession of working children
in America, if placed twelve feet apart
in single file would reach from San
Francisco to Boston and thence to New
Orleans To shorten the procession
until it dwindles and disappears, the
National Child Labor Committee says
it needs to have not $500 members but
10000, or one for each half mile of
these children.
The last number of the Child Labor
Bulletin gives not only several articles
of general interest, and the Annual Re-
port of the National Child Labor Com
mittee but also brief review of the
Committees plans for the future.
First and foremost an absolute II
year limit for all gainful occupations
without exemptions must be fixed III
all states. At the same time, in order;
to make the legal age limit an estab-
lished fact, and sufficient protection
to the child, every state law needs to b.
amended in some point concerning
work permits. 1t is of next Importance
to regulate the work of all minors By
a limit Of hours, Is or IS year limit
for dangerous trades and by medical
inspection Of minors at work The
Committee says that no minor should
be allowed as a night messenger, and
points out that only seven states have
fixed 81 year limit for this work. Ref
erence is made to the need of discuss
ing the opinion Of educators and social
workers that there is no gainful occu
patton which a child under Is years
can enter without harm And special
plea for more members is based on the
need for taking up with greater en-
phasis the matter of administration
and enforcement of child labor laws
and other subjects closely related 70
child labor, such as industrial educa-
ton and the problem of the needy fam
lilies whose children are forbidden to
work

EYE-STRAIN AND CRIME

| and complete. He had become the will
, ing slave of the teacher, where before
| he seemed to resent her every interest
in him; he never missed day in
school, where formerly playing truant
was chronic with him. He was the
head of his class now, where previous
ly he was too dull to be classed at all !;
he had voluntarily stopped his nume=-
Gus bad habits and had become the
marvel Of the neighborhood as well as
the joy of his parents, and SO on.
The explanation of this metamorpho
sis is simple and natural. The chic
was more than three-fourths blind AMI
no one mad known it. He could not
learn because he could not see, and
his eyes and head undoubtedly panied
him when straining to see. His incor-
rect and absurd answers made the
other pupils laugh at and guy him, 50
he hated everything connected with the
school, and in playing truant he met
the worst possible associates and
learned from them his notable array of
vicious habits When he put on his
glasses he saw the world for the first
time clearly and in comfort, He there
fore was able to learn and his ambition
was aroused. Hence he loved school
ing and the opportunity to show his
real capability, and by regular attend
ance at school lost the bad companion
ship which was really responsible for
his show Of criminal tendencies. After
the boy became the pride of the school,
his parents took an interest and aided
him, where before they ignored so I'M
lovable child. A boy who at the age
OF II was the worst child in the school
and neighborhood and was absolutely
callous to all moral suasion, would
probably have developed into GRIM

extreme type was prevented by a pair

Parcel Post improvements.

While a little hard on the postman,
the plan of Postmaster General Bur1;-
son to increase the weight limits OF
parcel post packages in the first and
second zones from 20 to so pounds; to
admit books to the parcel post, and to
reduce rates in the third, fourth, fifth
and sixth zones will be regarded gen.
orally as fine Christmas present.
The exclusion of books from the
parcel pest service was without ex-
cuse. The circulation of good books
should be encouraged, rather than dis
couraged by the government, and yet it
was not possible to send even copy
of the Bible by parcel post. A great
many persons who have scarcely any
use for the parcel post would have 40
preciated the service just to send !
book occasionally to a friend. When
they tried to send a book, and were
told they couldn't they wondered WIN
the parcel post was established.
Those who have baen expecting thar
tie parcel post would reduce the cost
of living have been disappointed, tclJ
ii is too early to judge the system from
that standpoint. Farmers are naturally
conservative. They are aware that
they can send eggs and poultry direct
to the consumer, but they have not yet
evolved any method for getting into
touch with him. If they were to go
into the cities for a few days, they
could arrange for the sale of all their
products by parcel post, but they pro-
badly fear that this would involve cor
respondence. k
However, change may come in this
respect, and meanwhile the postmaster
general is to be commended for re.
ducing the rates and increasing the
weight limit of packages. Gradually
1.-THE system will be developed to Its
