TO INTEREST
 NEGROES IN PUBLIC HEALTH
Meeting Held in One Largest Church. es of Little and Systematic Plans Discussed Whereby the Negro
 Could Cooperate.

The state health authorities are at tempting to interest the negroes in the question of conservation of pub lie health. A meeting was recently held in one of their largest churches in Little Rock, addressed by Drs. Young, Garrison, Vaughan, Taylor, Molloy and Campbell as well as by Drs. Hayman and Robinson, represen- tatiye physicians of their own race.
 The speakers discussed a systemat- ic plan whereby negroes may oc- operate, through their own leaders, with the state, county, and local health officials, in educating their people in the requirements of sanita- tion and practical hygiene. They are to be taught that it is the white citizen in fact that the health and well-being of the community depends very large ly upon the hygienic and sanitary sur roundings of the negro. The health officials report that they have always found the negro eager to help in the work.

WAR DECLARED, EUROPE
 AWAITS RUSSIA'S MOVE
With AustrO-Servian Struggle Begun. Czar May Start Gigantic Conflict Hostile Steps Concealed. Great ..
 Great Powers Moblizing.

London, July 2S.-The Austro-Hun- garam government declared war against Servia today by a manifesto which is one of the briefest of his tory's momentous documents.
 Germany paved the way for this declaration by announcing her rejec- tion of the British proposal to bring four powers together in conference for mediation. Germany explained that Austria could not be expected to submit her acts to European council, as though she were one of the Balkin states.
 This announcement preceded the declaration of war by only two hours and showed the harmonious working of the partnership between the two nations which stood firmly together through the Bosian crisis of 1909.
 The center of interest has shifted to St. Petersburg, which holds the de- cision whether an European war which probably would shift the balance of power if not rearrange the entire map of Europe, is to break out. Negotia- tions are afoot there between the Rus sian foreign minister and the Austrian ambassador which are designed to "lo- calize" the conflict.
 Belgrade's Fate Unknown.
 The next news expected is the occu- patton of Belgrade and that now many be an accomplished fact. Reports of encounters along the frontier have been permitted to pass the censor, but military experts here believe moblizi- tion also has been effected and that d campaign is under way.
 There is no enthusiasm in England for war, yet there is general belief that her oblic ations to her partners in the Triple Entente, and her in terests as a great European power, will force her to support Russia and France in any steps they may take.
 The immediate effect of the war cloud is likely to be a compromise on home rule, since all feel that domestic dissensions must be settled at all cost in the face of outside peril.
 British Warships Mobilize.
 The British warships everywhere are taking on supplies. Soon after 1t became known that Austria and Ser via were at war all the officers and sailors~ashore at Portland and Wey- mouth were summoned to their ships. England's battleship squadrons have been mobolized and the publication of official news as to the movements of British warships has ceased.
 The first and second battle squad rons have taken on their full war stores and are ready to slip their an chors at moments notice. The des-

JUST TURKEYS DAD
BY IzOLA FORESTER.

BY lola FORESTER.
When the wagon stopped, Hockey
wakened.
He could hear Turley talking to
somebody. He could see sunlight
Pickering through the meshes Of the
sacking, which she had thrown over
him. It had been nighttime when he
had fallen asleep.
That much he remembered. But not
where he had fallen asleep. He had
left McGinnis' round midnight. And
there had been three others, the three
men who had been discharged that
Saturday from the Ell Orc works.
Hockey had been discharged also.
He had dreaded going home. Turley
and Mate would be waiting for him,
It had seemed better to 60 down to
McGinnis' place Of refuge with the
other three, and talk matters over.
Lazily he tried to recall what they
had talked about, when Turkeys voice
stirred him to fresh consciousness.

saying briskly. HE didn't come home
all night, so this morning me an Mate
drove down after him. I'll fix him
when get him up home.

The web of dreams was swept from
Hookey's turgid brain at the name
Nixon had seen fit to- discharge him
from the works. Hockey couldn't see
any reason why he was not neces
sary and desirable employee for the E
Orc or any other mine in the state Of
Nevada. He felt injured and sorrow
full.
"Now, I've got to get him home
and wake him up, and make him fiji

prunes today. He promised me, sure
enough, I could have prunes today

Nixon laughed his hearty laugh thai

year-old Mate joined in. But Turley
didn't. She wanted prunes, and Il
wasn't funny.

money to you, Turley," he remarked

Il didn't mean him." Nixon checked
himself.
It was no use telling this child OF
twelve what he meant. He rode along
in silence, behind the old road wagon.
It was a rickety, much-mended wagon.
Every time the left hind wheel hit a
rock in the road, the iron rim nearly
parted company with the spokes.
Under the pile Of sacking lay the
form Of old Hockey Williams, picked
up and carted home by his two mother

Nixon knew the whole story. Not
that 1t amounted to much. The mother

DR.. COOVER DESCRIBES
HOSPITALS Of ROME
Says He Has Not Yet Mastered
Italian Tolley Fare
System

DR.. Carson Coover. whose travel
letters to the home folks are most
| interesting, has sent another section
, of his diary from Florence under date
of March 20. He says in his latest
letter that he appreciated the art
treasures of Rome all the more be-
cause the sightseeing came as pleas
ant interruption to his attendance at
medical clinics. DR.. Coover has
been visiting the hospitals of the old
world and he S0eaks enthusiastically
of what he has observed in medical
and surgical practice. In one of the
large hospitals in Rome there are
1900 beds and all the patients pay
s1.40 a day, or, If unable, the city
pays the bill. There are no private
rooms, that class of patients being
treated in private hospitals. DIR.
, Coover describes the hygienic appoint
ments of the hospital and the modern
surgical facilities.
DIR. Coover goes directly from Venice
to Vienna and he will also take a short
excursion to Budapest. He says he
has not fully solved the fare system of
I the italian trolleys, but knows it is
very cheap-two to five cents.
He says he found much of interest
in study of the psychologist features
of the Monte Carlo community, but
was not tempted to indulge in the
! play because, as he says, the odds
are strongly against the player, but
1t was fascinating to see all of these
people risk their money in an attem pt
to get something for nothing
He found the Bay of Naples most
attractive and his first experience with
the customs officers more or less ex-
citing. He describes Naples as the
city of joyful noise, but found Rome
full of interest everywhere.
