THE ARKWAY.

"The Trey O. Hearts, fifth in stallment, will be featured tonight at the Arkway. The first installment of this feature serial told the story of two men. One, Trine, hates Law for an imaginary wrong, and when the latter dies, the vengeful man swears one of his twin daughters, Judith, to revenge her father upon Laws son, Alan. The second installment shows Alan alone in the woods, lacking food and all equipment. Judith has an h. dian to track Alan. Feeling himself followed, Alan becomes nervous and slips over the side of a cliff and falls into the water. Judith rescues him and has him taken to her cabin. The fourth installment, which will be shown tonight, is unusually thrilling. In the fifth installment Alan's party is fired upon while riding on a reve- nue cutter, but their escape is eff fected in peculiar manner.
 Three other pictures will be shown tonight.

PARDONS SUNDAY
 COLD DRINK SALE

Little Rock, Dec. 23.-There are some places in the state where the Sunday laws are so strictly enforced that druggist is not permitted to sell cold drinks on Sunday. Such a case was presented to Gov. Hays Tuesday, when application was made to him for the pardon of R. L. John son, a druggist at Allene, Little River county. Mr. Johnson, according to the petetioners, is Christian gentle man, who had never before knowing ly or unintentionally violated any law. He is proprietor of drug store, and prior to July, 1913, allowed persons to enter his place on business on Sun day while he was there himself, and sold cold drinks, not knowing that it was a violation of the law. He was prosecuted and fined S25 and costs. There is hardly a drug store in Lit tie Rock or any other of the large cities of the state where the druggists do not do a thriving Sunday business in cold drinks, without molestation. The pardon was granted.

URGES TRAINING FOR
 DELINQUENT BOYS
SUPERINTENDEN w O U l. D TEACH THEM TRADES IN
 REFORM SCHOOL.

Little Rock, Dec. 23.-William N. Deaton, superintendent of the re- form school, in his biennial report, vii make a strong appeal for a train ing school at that institution, or at least that the state secure a location for the school which will permit the school to become self sustaining through agricultural pursuits.
 The report of the superintendent shows the inmates to be healthy, and we'll cared for, but still lacking in ways in which to benefit themselves while charges of the state. Supt. Deaton calls attention to the fact that the law provides for the care of boys between the ages of three and eighteen years, but cases have been known where the courts have sent men p years of age to the reform school, giving their ages as within the required limit. He states that the very purpose of the school is de- feated when children, who have sim ned for the first time, are brought lUIO COILdCI NltiI IllS nal
 Supt. Deaton sttaes that the boys are kept in the open a great del, and have become so contented that the number of escapes has been reduced to practically nothing. He says, how ever, that there is nothing that can be taught to the boys in the way of a trade, except farming, and the till able portion of the farm is too small to keep them busy in this manner, and if they were constantly engaged in agricultural pursuits, few of the boys would follow it after leaving the school, as most of them are from the cities, and to them they return.
 "To turn them out on the world dependent as they came, is calculated to again make them a prey to soci- ety." states Supt. Deaton in winding up his report We must save our youthful violaters and society or else we lose both"

SAYS HE WILL
 MAKE BID GOOD

P. F. Connolly of Fl Reno, Okla, whose contract for laying the paving in Street Improvement District No. 3 was declared forfeited by the inn provement board Monday, was here yesterday and assured the board that he stood ready to carry out his con- tract, and would be ready to begin the work as early next spring as he was instructed to do so. Mr. Connolly said his failure to file the required con- struction and maintenance bonds was due to the bonding companies decision that the maintenance provisions of the contract were too drastic, but he stated that he would either make personal bond that the district could approve or else put up a sufficient amount of collateral to guarantee the district against any loss. The board will probably relet the contract next spring, but Mir Connolly declared that he would accept it at the same prices, which were considerably low CT than any other bid filed at the prev ious letting.

MUDDY STREETS FOR
 CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

Related Christmas shoppers are to- day finding another reason why they should have made their purchases a week or a month ago. In order to reach the business section they must traverse streets that are almost navi- gable for light draft vessels but are decidedly bad going for auto mobiles. Street crossings are covered with a dun-colored liquid varying in depth from one to six inches and the entire city is about as sloppy as it ever gets to be.

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS
 IN EUROPEAN WAR

The fighting in Flanders and the north of France goes on without abatement. Trenches are lost and won and reports from the allies men, tion small gains at various points, while from German headquarters come similar announcements of gains by the German troops. Emperor Williams presence in the West in- dicates the importance he attaches to the movement of the allies to drive out the Germans.
 In the East, both in Poland and Galicia, battles still are being fought with few details being made public. Germany claims to have succeeded in getting troops across branches of the Bzura and Rawka rivers, while the Russian official statements described fierce encounters along the left bank of the Vistula river, in all of which the Germans are reported to have been repulsed.
 A newspaper dispatch reports that nearly 1000 Austrians have been killed or injured in collision between two trains in Russian Poland.
 Of nearly 500,000 wounded soldiers treated in French hospitals between September 15 and November 30 less than 1-2 per cent died.
 A German wireless dispatch says that another German aeroplane has flown over Dover, Eng, and dropped bombs.
