owing issue in the Presidential cam.
paign next year was clearly indicat-
ed by Senator BONES Penrose, who,
as former chairman OF the Finance
Committee, led the opposition to the
resolution continuing the war tax rev.
enue act. He declared the deficit in
the Treasury, which is blamed on the
European war, would be thousand
times worse were It not for that war,
and added:
1.-THE war in Europe has been the
only cause which has saved the fiscal
policy Of the party now! in power from
the most gigantic collapse ever wit.
messed In civilized country, and in
my conservative and absolute convic.
ton believe II we had not had the
war in Europe we would have had the
blacklist times in the history Of the
American Republic, compared to
which the depression under Cleye-
lands second Administration and un.
der the Wilson German law would
have been insignificant. Instead Of
the war in Europe being the cause Of
such condition It has been the
cause Of an alienation Of a condition
too dreadful for any lover of his coun.
try to desire to contemplate"
Senator Penrose then made a pro-
tective tariff speech, and denounced
the fiscal policy Of the Democratic Ad-
ministration, advocating protective
duties, anti-dumping legislation and
the repeal Of the direct Federal taxes.

MAY PLACE
LID ON POOL ROOMS
(Jonesboro Tribune. }

There is movement on foot
among some of the city officials to
have Mayor Burress call a special
meeting of the council this week to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of passing
an ordinance raising the pool room Ii
cense and regulating the same. The
chief of police and several of the al
dermen have been seen by a repre-
sentative of the Tribune and all are
heartily in favor of making the Ii
cense so high that it will mean the
elimination of a number of these
places.
The chief OF, police claims that
much of the law violation of the city
ordinances is in these places and he
lis very much interested in closing UP
number of the halls. A meeting
NAV be called and an ordinance will
be presented increasing the license
but so far nothing officially has been
done. The question is being very
much discussed by number of the
people of the city.

G|RLS! G|RLS! TRY IT!
BEAUT|FY YOUR HAIR
Make it thick, glossy, wavy, luxuri-
ant and remove all
dandruff.

Your hair becomes light, wavy,
fluffy, abundant and appears as soft,
lustrous and beautiful as young
girls after "Danderine hair
cleanse" Just try this-moisten a
cloth with little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair,
taking one small strand at time
This will cleanse the hair of dust,
dirt and excessive oil and in just a
few moments you have doubled the
beauty of your hair.
Besides identifying the hair at
once, Danderine dissolves every par
ticle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies
and invigorates the scalp, forever
stopping itching and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks use when you
will actually see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair growing all over the scalp. If
you care for pretty, soft hair and lots
of it, surely get a 25 cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any
druggist or toilet counter, and Just
try it. (advt.)

TEST OF COURTS FOR
THE BOND AMENDMENT

Legislature Meets-Thirteen
Cities Waiting.

Little Rock, Dec 29.-The validity
of the municipal bond amendment,
which received majority Of the
votes in the last general state cleo
ton, will be attacked in the courts
as soon as it is declared adopted by
the speaker of the legislature when
it conyenes next month. Both the
friends and opponents of the measure
are anxious to have the question OF
its validity settled by the supreme
court before any efforts are made to
issue bonds under the provision OF
the amendment 1t is known that 13
cities of the state are waiting for a
judicial determination of the contro-
versy before public improvements
are begun. Mayor Taylor Of this
city. who led the fight for the adop-
ton of the amendment, stated last
night that an expression from the
supreme court will be necessary be-
fore any attempt is made to issue
bonds.
Among the questions at issue is
the dispute as to whether the amend
ment was legally adopted or not.
The amendment authorizes cities to
issue bonds for public improvements.
