Type of "eraftlnan Ended.

A pleasant and easy way of seeing
the world and living without working,
that of pretending to be on a walking
trip around the world for a mythical
wager with some equally mythical
club or pe~rsonages, has exhausted it's
possibilities in Prussia. The authori.
ties have come to the conclusion that
this type of traveller has become so
numerous as to constitute a public nui-
sance, and the minister of the interior
has instructed the police to prevent
them from selling postcards with their
photographs, announcing lectures, or
otherwise molesting the public.

Protection AGAINST Liqhtnlnu.

Coral necklaces have often been
worn for warding off lightning; also an
eagles plume, as that bird is supposed
to be quite i~nyulnerable to lightning
from its connection with Jupiter. The
Romans we're also much addicted to
wearing bay leaves IS a ~preservative.
The laurel, the holly and the fig trees
are supposed to be quite free from
evil effects of lightning. The elder
Pliny said: lightning never strikes
the laurel"

furnishings and fixtures have beon
bought for the county by Judge
Mooney.
In speaking of the reconstruction Of
ne court house Judge Mooney made
the following statement:
THE Garland county court house
was orr ginally constructed in the
year 1906 at cost of about sl75 900.
III was of semi-fireproof construction:
that is all floors were of reinforced
concrete with metal and paster par
titions. The roof, however, was of
wood and all windows of the ordinary
wood tyne.
The fire of 1913 proved conclu-
sively that semi-fireproof construc.
ton is only a little better than ordi-
nary wood construction. For, al
though the court house occupies an
Isolated position, the wood roof and
window construction permitted it to
fan an easy prey to the flames and
intense heat.
After the debris had been cleared
away an Investigation was made into
the condition of the building. 1t was
found that the roof was entirely gone.
nearly all outside openings and many
inside openings had been destroyed.
Partitions, plastering, painting, wood
work, glass and marble were either
destroyed or badly damaged. Some
o! the brick walls had been badly
damaged by failing timbers but gen
orally the walls and floors were 10
fairly good conditio"
II commissioned Theo NJ. Sanders.
architect, to prepare plans and speci.
fications for reoonstructing the build
ing. My instructions were as fol
lows: Reconstruct the court house
to make it as nearly fireproof as
human ingenuity can devise. Alter
the old pan 10 add all possible con-
venience to the arrangement. Take
out all old and defective plumbing
and install a modern and sanitary
system. The old heating system was
Inefficient and expensive 70 operate.
Remodel this as may be necessary TO
give us a good plant Above all, give
as good. convenient and substantial
structure and do not waste the
county funds on useless ornament aad
establishment.
Acting under these instructions.
the architect proceeded to prepare
the plans, and after they had been
duly approved bids were advertised
for. The contract for the general con
struction was awarded to the Falls

being much the lowest 1t was my

BAR ASSOCIATION
REPORT TONIGHT
CHAMBER or COMMERCE WILL
DISCUSS COMM SSloN FORM
OF GOVERNMENT TONIGHT.
Several Matters of Vital Importance
to the Future of This Organization
to Be Presented for Considera-
ton.

The Chamber of Commerce will TO-
night hear the report of the Garland
County Bar Association, which in
bref is the presentation of a legisla'
tive bill which provides for a com
mission form of government for Hot
Springs, and which report will prove
of the utmost importance to the citi-
zenship at large. President Gala
han of the Chamber of Commerce IS
very anxious that public interest le
shown in this measure in its incip-
lent stage as well as in the latter
assent that it is necessary to It's
adoption.
"The bin itself is OF the utmost inn
portance," said Mr.. Callahan ycstar-
day. I'VE are confident that Hot
Springs believes in the adoption OF
commission form of government that
will put the city on a business basis,
and that will result in nonpartisan
officials of the highest type of our
citizenship. But the detail OF tlia
bill to be adopted is a very serious
matter, and we would like to have
the citizens of Hot Springs take part
il the formation OF this bill.
"No measure could be devised that
wound please all But il is our aim
and would be our pride, to have Hot
Springs inaugurate such a superior
form of commission bill that the
resort would gain some notoriety
from its measure. We are confideat
that if it could be said hereafter
about the country in discussing com
mission bills, Hot Springs has the
best that advertising alone would
prove worth thousands of dollars 20
our resort"
Secretary Latta will have some inn
pprtant matters to bring to the atten-
ton of the organization tonisht.
There viii be report on the prog
ress of the Little Rock highway. and
the question of adopting an advertis-
ing department along advanced lines
may also come IN for consideration
al this time, that a fun test might
be made or the opportunity this war
offers for putting Hot Springs forth
as the first health and pleasure
resort of all the world.

as much as possible, and acting under
this policy the plumbing and heating,
the electrical wiring. the milwork
and the painting contracts were
awarded TO local contractors.
1T may be interesting to compare
the present building with the old and
to learn with what care the funds Of
the county have been expended and
what result has been accomplished.
THE new court house has rein
forced concrete roof construction,
supported on steel beams. and GOV
cred with the best grade of asbestos
roofing and burnt clay tile The old
building had wood constructed roof.
supported on wood trusses and was
covered with tar and gravel
AL outside windows are now of
the highest grade of metal construc-
ton glazed with polished plate wire
glass. In the old building all of che
construction was of the ordinary
wood type.
"All exterior cornices, ornaments,
copings, etc, are of terra-eotta, the
most enduring and best fire-resisting
material known. IN the old building
all of this was OF sheet metal on
wood forms.
"All plumbing work is of the most
modern and sanitary type, with
marble partitions and tile floors.
Toilet rooms have been added to pri-
waite offices, and the pubic toilets
altered so as to admit of outside light
and ventilation.
"A new heating plant has been ~
stalled by constructing boiler room
against the rear wall of the building
and making such other Improvements
as will give the maximum efficiency
at the minimum cost of operation.
a new elevator of the most
most modern and safest typo has
been instaiied.
-All electric wiring has been doae
in full accordance with the strict re-
quirements of the National Board cf
Fire Underwriters and electric fix
lures of the indirect lighting style
have been contracted for.
"All court room furniture through
out is to be new Only quarter-sawed
white oak is used where it was
necessary to use wood finish The
side walls throughout are painted
with sanitary oil paint,
Figuring on conservative basis
il is safe TO say that the building rs
It now stands is worth at least $780,
600 more to the county than was the
old building. The county will prosst
by the reduced insurance rate, the
added conveniences, the economy OF
operating heating. plumbing and wiz
ing and the greatly reduced rate OF
deterioration due TO its permanently
of construction and the enduring
qualities of materials used"
