broken down under the shock and
strain of the battlefield
The patient is seated in chair anc

concentrate On the single subject Of
his cure. If, as often happens, his
vision is affected by shell shock" he
is told quietly and firmly that the de-
feet has been cured and that he can
once again see clearly. In some cases
a single sitting is enough, in others,
the treatment is repeated many times.

WIRELESS To SUPPLANT
ALL LIGHT HOUSES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 26-Experiments
with Hertsian waves are being follow
ed very closely by Trinity House," in
the belief that the system will prove
more valuable than coast lights. Some
experts are even looking forward to
the gradual extinction of the latter.
The wireless signals can be en-
ployed in foggy weather when Light
houses cannot be seen and several ves-
sells are now fitted with what are
known as direction finders.
On the north coast of France the
French government has been expert
menting with special stations, the sig
nails being emitted at regular inter
walls. If a vessel is fitted with radio
compass it is easy to apply the infor-
nation, but even without one the re-
ceipt of any signal at all is an ad-
vantage, for the exact positions of the
stations are known.

BRITISH STEAMER
IS TO BE TAKEN
over GOVERNMENT
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Apri 26.-It is probable
that large number of British steam
ers in foreign ports will be taken over
by the government owing to the scar
city of suitable steamers in this
country.
1t is stated by Admiralty officials
that British vessels are avoiding the
United Kingdom owing to the proba-
bility of their being taken over for
government purposes, and such ships
will now be commandeered wherever
they may be, as necessity arises. The
shipowner at present rates can make
about three times as much profit on
the open market as through Is lease to
the government.
The British navy is still actively en-
gagged at Gibraltar in stopping steam
ers bound for ports in the MeGiter-
ranean and vessels meet with consid-
cradle delays.
Special attention is being paid to
steamers having their cargoes or por,
tions of their cargoes assigned to
Switzerland. One case posted recent
ly on the Baltic exchange was of
steamer which had been detained at

BIRTHS EXCEED
DEATHS 5 TO |

The best report on vital statistics
for the city of Conway and Cadron
township since this work was inaugu-
rated and probably one of the best
report ever submitted to the Arkan-
sas State Board of Health was that
compiled yesterday by DR.. George S.
Brown, county health officer and To-
cal registrar, for the month of Au-
gust.
During that month the births in the
city outnumbered the deaths exactly
five to one and in the township as a
whole the ratio was nearly four to
one. Twenty-Five births were report
ed for the city of Conway, % being
white and two colored. In Cadron
township outside of Conway there
were IA births, of which seven were
white and seven colored.
Four white persons and one colored
person died in the city during the
month. In Cadron township outside
of Conway there were six deaths,
three of white persons and the same
number of colored persons.

LIQUOR men ABANDON
FIGHT ON PROHIBITION

Little Rock, Sept. 10.-It was learn
ed from reliable sources this morn
ing that the Arkansas liquor leaders
have practically abandoned the idea
of initiating the repeal of the state
wide prohibition act passed by the
last legislature, which becomes effec-
tive January 1, 1916. The men in
charge of the proposed repeal meas
ure decided that the expense would
be too great to submit the question to
the voters of the state at the election
to be held next year. Besides, lack
of interest by the men now engaged
in the business would make the out
come very doubtful. If the bill had
been initiated and approved by the
voters at the next general election,
saloons would have re-opened the lat
ter part of next year, at the earliest
as the new law, which becomes effec-
tive the first of next year, would re-
main in operation until it was re-
pealed.
