THE CHAUTAUQUA AS
 A BUSINESS FORGE

How Chautauquas improve business is the subject of recent article in the Merchants Trade Journal that has at- tracted wide attention. It says:
 ''Business-real, true, fundamental business of more than stores and stocks of goods, manufacturing plants, railway systems and wholesale houses. After all, the foundation of all our business Is the men and wom- en in it. and when these men and women have been aroused and inspired and lifted up and made to appreciate themselves more fully and to recognize their own individual responsibility that community has been bettered.
 But it has not been made merely a better community morally and intel lectually-it has been made better in business way also. These things work together, and 1t Is impossible to better community Intellectually and morally and not at the same time bet ter that community commercially.
 The man who is made to think more of himself, to appreciate his own in- dividualtty more, is bound to want to take better care of himself, to clothe himself better, to build better house to live in, to ride in better carriage or automobile. and as he does these things he will also think more of his family, more of his children, more of his neighbors and his community, and when he does these things he becomes worth more to himself, his family, his business, his community, his country.
 Go into any community where ? force of this kind has been workini for number of years and you vii find that the whole appearance of tha community is changed We might cit you to town after town that we hay watched personally, and we could te you some of the splendid development or these towns, much of which can traced back directly to its source thls great Chautauqua movement"

Mahany has covered Mexico from the Rio Grande to Yucatan and from the Pacific to tbe Atlantic, He was formerly a member of the Amer ican legation at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. and has had occasion in various secret capacities to make his residence among the Latin American peoples and get their point of view.
 He knows Mexico and the Mexicans. He has made his residence with them for years. He speaks their language and understands their ways He has at his disposal fund of information about that land and its people that can. not be gathered except in one way-by actual contact and observation extend ing over q period of years.
 MT. Mahany comes to the Chautau. qua fresh from the theater of war in northern Mexico and the border coun- try. and he has many things to teE which nave not been published in the press of this country. His address will be of intense interest.

 DATIONS.
From Mondays Daily.

| fTofu monuhy DaiB
 Sleeping porches on the upper floors of the dormitory may be resort ed to in order to accommodate an un- expectedly large number of young lady students who enrolled for the summer session of the Arkansas State Normal School, which opened today. The applications exceeded the accommodations at the girls dormi- tory by about 20, and President J. J. Doyne stated that he would probably screen in the large porches on the sec ond and third floors of the dormitory, on each of which eight or 10 board ing students might have delightful place to sleep.
 The first days enrolment, while not tabulated at the hour of going to press, was more than double that of any previous summer session of the Normal, and large numbers of other students are expected to arrive dur ing the week. With the exception of one or two members, the entire fac ulty will continue their work throughout the session, which will not close until July 31.
 The Normal training school also reopened this morning, with full attendance in each of the seven pri- mary and grammar school grades.

IRON PIPE UNDER
 PAVING IS URGED
TO REPLACE WOOD MAINS
MUCH FUTURE TROUBLE MAY BE AVOIDED AT LITTLE
 EXPENSE NOW.
From Thursdays Daily.

1 From Thursdays Daily.
 l The breaking of one of the stee bands on a wooden water main pass l ing under the railroad tracks at the Oak street crossing, resulting in a 1 leak which almost drained the reser- voir before it could be stopped and the development of two or three other smaller leaks in the business section has caused considerable agitation in favor of replacing the wooden mains with iron pipe in the district which IS to be paved with concrete.
 It is pointed out that it will be enormously expensive to. stop any leaks which may develop after the streets are covered with six, inches ot concrete and everyone who has given the matter any thought comedies that it would be better to lay iron mains in this district and permanently end this trouble It will not only be very expensive to dig through the cement paving but it will be nearly inpossi- ble to locate a break should one DC cur and large leaks might continue for weeks without being discovered, entailing a heavy pumping cost.
 It is not too late to make the change nor will the cost of doing so be e&ces- sive, according to Engineer George H. Burr of the paving district. He says the plans for the paving alIsad! provide for laying drain tile aGync the water mains in order to carry eff possible leakage and this will be in- stalled at an eXtra cost of $E5O This drain tile would be unnecessary would pay probably one-third of the expense of replacing the wood pipe with iron. There are about 2,501 feet of mains which will be under the paving and Burr estimates the cosc of laying them of iron would not ex- ceed $1 per foot and it could perhaps be done for as little as $2,000.
 The substitution of concrete for brick will leave the paving district with some extra funds and, due to the
 increased property values, the water works district has a surplus above what is necessary to meet the interest and principal payments on its bonds. The two districts could go together, it is believed, and install the iron pipe in the paving district and thus effect a great saving to the city for several years to come Efforts will be made to have a joint meeting of the boards of improvement of the two districts immediately and endeavor to solve the problem.
 While little trouble has been eX perienced with leaks in the wooden mains during the past year, it is realized that they cannot be as per manent as iron pipe and the wooo material was adopted only because the finances of the district would not permit the use of iron. But where permanent paving is to be put down it is felt that permanent mains should be laid underneath it, in order to avoid intending trouble and expense to the waterworks system, as well as damage to the paving whenever re pairs are to be made.

PLAYING THE FIRST RETURN
ENGAGEMENT.

Wednesday, YOU may remember.
Winter said her farewell and New York
welcomed Spring. We chose that day
to play a return engagement at the
Ritz. We beat our way up Fifth ave.
through the worst rain of the season.
There were three of us now, our party
having been augmented by third male
member who had volunteered 10 stay

THE QUESTION:: is ALCOHOL A
FOOD OR a POISON?

one Of the disputed questions has
been, Is alcohol a food or a poison -?
Those who are responsible for these
scientific textbooks assert that il is a
poison and reject the idea that it has
any food value whatsoever. Ten years
ago the Committee OF Fifty. after
years Of investigation, made its report
upon the different effects Of the use Of
alcohol as a beverage. That commit
tee included such persons as Charles
W. Eliot Seth Low. Professor r. H..
Chittenden, Bishop Alexander Mackay-
Smith. the Rev. Father a. r. Doyle,
the Rev. DIR. Washington GLADDEN.,
Drs. William II. WEIGH. II. T.. Bow
ditch and the late John :. Billings and
Carroll D. Wright, the late Richard
Watson Glider and William Bayard
Cutting. At that time forty-three
states had passed laws requiring school
children 10 improve their minds and
morals by learning the mysteries Of
scientific temperance" and under the
authority Of those laws twenty-four
textbooks authorized by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union had been
introduced into the public schools.
The committee concluded" said Dr..
Williams, that under the name Of SCI
entific instruction there has been
grated upon the public school system
Of nearly all our states an educational
scheme relating TO alcohol which is
neither scientific nor temperate nor in
structive. These books. especially
those intended for the lower grades.
