DECISION IN FRANCHISE TAX
 EXPECTED MONDAY MORNING

Little Rock, June 19.-A decision in the St. Louis, Southwestern railroad franchise tax is expected in the Su- preme Court of the United States on Monday morning. Upon the decision of this court depends the entire fran chise tax system of the state. All railroads and large corporation, with the exception of the Cotton Belt rail road, paid this tax. The railroad has not paid for three years, opposing the payment during the term of Hal L.. Norwood as Attorney General He filed suit and the Supreme Court of Arkansas sustained the validity of the act. The fact that most large cor porations readily complied with the law shows that their attorneys be- lieved the act to be legal, consequent ly the Supreme Court of the United States is expected by most Arkansans to sustain the measure.

LITTLE ROCK EXPECTS
 BIG CROWD ON JUNE 24
Mayors and Leading Citizens of Ark ansas Expected to Gather and Dis cuss Bond Issue to the Con-
 stitution of State.

Unless there has been decided change of heart in the cities and towns of Arkansas in the past two years, Little Rock is to be the host to one of the largest conventions of the year on June "A, when the mayors and leading citizens of the state will gath CT to discuss the bond issue amend ment to the state constitution. The call for this convention signed by the mayors of the leading cities of Ark ansas, has gone forth. It asks the commercial organizations of the cities and civic organizations of the towns, to consider the matter we'll and pro- vide delegates who will surely come to Little Rock for the big convention.
 The Bond issue amendment is rec ognized in all sections of the state as a necessity for the proper building of cities and towns. The balance of the state, other than pride in the upbuild- ing of cities and towns, will have no interest in the measure. They will not be taxed, but are expected to lend their moral influence, making it possible through the ballot, for the cities and towns to bond themselves for needed improvements.
 Mayor Charles E. Taylor of Little Rock, is the recognized leader in the movement, and has spent several years compiling figures to show how much cheaper cities can make improv- ments under the bond issue plan than under the present system. He can point to concrete example at the present time, when Little Rock is hav- ing trouble with the company supply ing the city with water. With the bond issue amendment adopted it would be possible for the city to declare the water franchise forfeited and proceed with the erection of municipal plant.

SUBSTITUTES FOR NEAT.
Many Families Eating Meat Only
Once a Day.

Not merely has beef remained at
high prices through the year, but
the demand created by the war and
| the foot and mouth disease are dis
turbing conditions that may send it
a good deal higher. A great many
families have to consider whether
they can not make wider use of SUBJ
Istitutes.
Much is said along this line about
the advantages CT larger vegetable
diet. Millions OF families today, who
used to have meat twice or three
times day, now have it but once,
and even less. Much might also be
said as to the possibility of making a
larger use of fish, oysters, and 9th
er sea foods. Accordingly to the
economists, when you buy fish, you
get much larger proportion of nu-
triment for the money than in the
case of meat.
Fish foods have always occupied
subordinate place, from the gener-
al feeling that they can be used
satisfactorily only by people living
fairly close to the places where the
fish are caught. Modern cold storage
methods however, make it possible to
take them anywhere. Many varieties
Of canned fish are very appetizing
The prejudice against fish seems
to be largely a question of cooking.
Hotels, restaurants, and dining cars
usually have fish courses, and at
tractively Drowned and seasoned, few
people skip them. Summer hotels
situated along the ocean advertise
their shore dinners" People will
travel long distances, drawn by this
attractively prepared sea food. This
is due not merely to the freshness
of the material, but still more be-
cause the cooks Ill these sections have
been trained from childhood to cook
fish in an appetizing manner.
Apparently the meat diet is to be
a luxury for many years. Nothing
will ever bring back the free ranges
of the West. But there is abundant
nutriment loft in the sea and on the
farms. If the cooks know their bust
ness, it can have just as good a rel
ish as the beeisteak or the lamb
chop.

DIES OF TETANUS
AFTER LONG FALL
Ironworker, Who Dropped from
Building, Succumbs at City
Hospital.

Lawrence Kelly, thirtythree years
old. of 491 East 156th street, New
York, died in the City Hospital last
night from lockjaw. The lockjaw set
in five days after Kelly was admitted
to the hospital suffering from COM
pound fracture of the right leg, above
the ankle.
On July % Kelly, who was an iron
worker, was riding on a beam which
was being hoisted at a building in
course of construction at Frelinghuy-
sen avenue and Foster street. when
he was knocked off by cable. He
fell about fifteen feet and landed on
a key of nails.
He was taken to the City Hospital,
where his injuries were not at first
considered dangerous. AS is usual in
injuries of this kind tetanus anti
toxin was used in treating the injury
when the man was admitted.
Kelly was attacked with convul-
sions last Sunday, and his condition
became serious. His jaws became
locked on the following day and for
several days he was fed through the
nose. Although in serious condi-
ton, Kelly was expected to recover.
His jaws opened slightly yesterday
and he showed signs of improvement.
He suddenly became worse, however,
and died early last night.
Kelly's case has puzzled physicians
at the hospital Every precaution
was taken to prevent the setting in
of tetanus. 1t is believed that the
mans leg became infected when he
struck on the keg of nails.
