NAVY'S SAILORS JUST
WON'T WEAR PAJAMAS
No Use for 10000 Suits Which De-
partment Soon viii Auction OFF.

New York, Sept 15.-Seventy thou
sand suits of pajamas are going to
waste in the United States navy. Ev-
cry battleship and cruiser has bales
of them stored in their slop chests
The reason is that the tars refuse to
wear any such contraption. The
Army and Navy Journal is authority
for this statement.
Two years ago orders were issued
that pajamas be provided for enlisted
men, and it was assumed that this ar
ticle of night apparel would soon be-
come very popular. Something like
100000 pairs, were purchased, and
sailors were notified they could draw
them whenever they liked.
For a time there was no demand,
but finally some of the men discov-
cred use for the garments. About
10000 pairs were distributed. Then
it was found that seamen were using
the pajamas as underwear; others
wore them while coaling ships. 4l
The Navy Department will soon of.
fer 10000 suits of pajamas for sale TO
the highest bidder.

 POSTOFF|CE
 SITE CHOSEN

A telegram was received here this afternoon from Washington stating that the property on East Main street and the public square, owned by Charles Frauenthal, had been accept ed by the government as site for a postoffice building in Conway.
 The original appropriation for the purchase of site for a building here was made several years ago, and sev- eral inspections of proposed sites have been made, but it was not until today that an announcement of the selection was made.
 No appropriation for the erection of a building has yet been made, and it was stated by the department some months ago that several years would probably elapse before any new build l ing projects could be taken up.

HENDRIX COLLEGE FIVE
 BREAKS LOSING STREAK

Argenta, Feb. 6.-The Hendrix College basketball team from Conway defeated Argenta High School, 24 to 21, last night in one of the fastest games on the local court this season. Time was called as Argenta was ral- lying desperately. Four points were made by the high school lads just be- fore the whistle. They played with feverish haste to overcome the three point lead of the collegians
 At the end of the first half Hen dirk led, 15 to II. Argenta opened the second half with rush, and kept the collegians on the defensive most of the time. High school ended the half with 10 points to Hendrix 9, making final score of 24-21. Argen- ta's forwards played in poor luck dur ing the second period, many of their shots bounding off the rim of the bas- ket, while Giles and Mccormack, Hen drix forwards, shot with deadly aim Cook for Argenta scored seven fouls

COLLEGES RENEW
 RELATIONSHIPS OUACHITA AND HENDRIX
THE INSTITUTIONS WILL ONCE MORE MEET ON FIELD OF
 ATHLETICS.

Athletic relations between Hendrix College of Conway and Ouachita Col lege of Philadelphia are to be re- stunned. Ouachita withdrew from the Arkansas Athletic Association three years ago, since which time the Bull dogs and the Tigers have been es- tranged, in so far as athletic rela- tions are concerned.
 The resumption of the athletic re- lationship between the two schools is the result of an arrangement by the authorities of each school to be guid- ed in every contest by the rules of the Southern Inter-C Collegiate Athlet- ic Association. The rules of this as- sociation are practically synonymous with the Arkansas Athletic Associa- tion rules, especially so in regard to amateur athletics.
 The first athletic contest between the two colleges since the new agree ment will be series of baseball games which will be played this spring. The dates have not been de- cided upon. A football game between Hendrix and Ouachita will be played at Philadelphia on October 22 or Mo- vember 6.
 The Conway college, prior to Qua chita's withdrawal from the associa- tion, won the greater number of con- tests from the Baptists. Ouachita's s football team last year claimed to have the edge on the Bulldogs, but a number of football experts held diff ferent opinion. The real "best team" will never be definitely known, as the two teams did not meet on the grid iron. Howbeit, both colleges have ex- cellent athletic material and it is ex- pected that several close contests will be held in the future.
 The announcement of the renewal of the relationship between the schools will be received here with much fa- vor, especially among the students, who will have the opportunity of see | ing more interesting contests. Since Ouachita's withdrawal Hendrix has had but one college team in the state that was able to put up much oppo- sition on the athletic field, which has had the effect of decreasing the at tendance at the games here.
 Coach w. M. Headrick, chairman of the athletic committee of Hendrix
 today announced the following foot ball schedule for next year: October

ANOTHER PAVING DISTRICT PLANNED IS FOURTH FOR CONWAY PROPOSED DISTRICT INCLUDES SEVERAL STREETS IN RESI-
 DENCE SECTION.

Petitions will be circulated within the next few days for the organiza- tion of another street paving district, the fourth to be formed in this city, which will include portions of several streets in the residence and west side business section of Conway. If the plans of the promoters are carried out the new district will cover a greater lineal distance than any of the three preceding districts.
 The paving in the proposed district will begin at the northwest corner of the public square, connecting at this point with the paving to be laid by Street Improvement District No. 3. It will run thence south to West Main street, thence west one block to Lo- cust avenue, thence south to College avenue and thence west to Watkins street. It is also proposed to include that portion of Center street between College avenue and Caldwell street, thus furnishing another connection at Caldwell and Center streets with the paving in No. 3 district
 Those interested in the improve ment believe there will be no difficulty in securing the assent of majority in value of the property in the dis trict and they declare the organiza- tion of the district will be carried for ward as rapidly as possible.
