Little Rock, Sept. 27.-Dr Ida Joe Brooks has ths unique distinction of being the only woman in faculty of 50 members in the Little Rock Medi- cal college. in which she holds the chair of. medical sociology.

This is a development of Mr. Lowe's beliaf tha. the best education al facilities should be carried 70 the country, rather than force the ccun- try children to come to the ely for their education.
 Mr. Lowe doss not claim entire credit for the wonderful progre ss made in this county in :duca icnal matters, frankly and generously de- claripg that without the cooperation and assistance of the dirac ors and teachers he could have accomplished but, little, despite his energy and DIT sistency ip behalf of better rural schools.
 The best indication of how the teachers regard MT. Lowe is probably found in their attitude toward him and his policies, endorsed by them at the last county Institute and their continued cooperation promised.

1scEne sRon:TAE GALL OF TIE DANCE

country, a friend who saw the child
 dance urged that she be allowed to 20 on the stage. Other friends tender ed the same advice, and so one day
 Miss Dolly joined Max Hoffman's own
 company. It was not until she ap-
 peared at the Brighton Beach Music
 Hall, however, that real fame came to her. As the result of her work ill vaudeville the girl was engaged to ap- pear in '"The Midnight Sons" Even tually Miss Dolly was given the lead ing role in this production.
 One of the principal events in her career occurred when Cornelius Van derbilt, who saw her in '"The Merry Countess" which had just opened at the Casino Theater, determined to have Miss Dolly dance at ball he was about to give at his Newport home.
 The success the girl had scored in the production caused the management of
 "The Merry Countess" company to re- fuse to allow her to leave the show even for one night, with the result that | the famous financier transported the whole company to Newport for spe- cial performance. This is said to have cost MT. Vanderbilt $15,OOO.
 Although "The Gall of the Dance is
 Miss Dolly's initial venture in motion pictures, the work of the finished
 artiste is stamped upon everything she
 does. Her dancing makes this ''Broad-
 way Favorites" feature positive de- light. It is safe to predict that the screen will see more of Yancsi Dolly in l the future.

i. A. K. VETERANS . IN WASHINGTON TO
 RE-ENACI REVIEW Scene Presented at Close of
 Civil War to Be Staged <. Once More. :.
WILSON WELCOMES
 10000 WARRIORS
Many C0nfedcrates Attending En- campmcnt of Erstwh!le "Fnemy,' While Other Hundreds Write Re-
 grets at Inability to Be Present.

Washington, Sept 27.-The nation al capital today is the maneuvering ground of tho men who 60 years ago fought the battles that resulted in the preservation of the union.
 All day yesterday, last night and today the surviving veterans of the Grand Army of tho Republic have been arriving at Washington to at tend what may be their last reunion and today there are at least forty thousand of them in the capital, garbed in faded blue suits, with bravely shining brass buttons, walk ing slowly but proudly through the changed streets.
 Sixty years ago these same veter- ans marched down Pennsylvania ave nue in the grand review that cele' brated the fall of Richmond and the end of thc civil war Next Wednes- day they are to re-enact that scene and with Col David J. Palmer of Des Moinas, Iowa, at their head, will march again from the capitol build ing to the white house where Pres1- dent Wilson will review them. Col. Palmer led the grand review at the close of the war. but next Wednes- day is expected to set a slower pace.
 There was no set program to be followed today. Time was allowed to permit the veterans to become set tied in their lodgings and for regis tration. Registration has been made an important part of the reunion.
 Owing to the fact that at the Get tysburg reunion in the summer of 1913 great disappointment was felt bv many of the veterans at being un- able to find old comrades in arms, especial care has been taken to ov-. ercome any such difficulty at Wash ingtcn. The registration devised is elaborate and will enable a veteran to get in touch on short notice with any one present in his old corps, regiment, or even company.

Yancsi Dolly has capitulated. Like other stage celebrities who once thought motion pictures unfit as me- .liums for the expression Of their artistry, this famous danseuse has re- alized her error, with the result that she enacts the leading role i'll Kaleln's four-act Broadway Favorites" pro- ;luction, '"The Call of the Dance"
 It is to be regretted that Miss Dolly should have remained adamant in her refusal to be screened as long as she did. Her career should at once be an inspiration and an example to those girls who aspire to win fame, but who think that the odds are all against them.
 Although the Kalem star but recent ly turned twenty-one, she has already had eight years of professional expe- rience. Her first impulse to dance came when she was a slip of a child. Her parents had taken her to see bal let in their native city of Buda-Pesth, Hungary, and then and there the girl who was one day to be one of Broad ways brightest stars resolved to be- come danseuse.
 But her parents had horrot of the stage and of everything connected with it. Did this discourage little ,yancsi? Not at all. In the seclusion of her room the child practiced the steps and movements she had seen. And right here it may be remarked that Miss Dolly has never received dancing lesson. She is self taught! .

ALLIES GAIN, BUT
 CARNAGE IS FEARFUL
tContinued from Page l.>

Tho British claim further advance to the cast of Loos, and the repulse of numerous German counter attacks at Hulluch, where the Teutons have suffered tremendous losses. Berlin claims that in this fighting the allies have been brought to standstill.
 German Counter Attacks Weak.
 Ie tho north of Arras, scene of the spring offensive of the allies, violent fighting is still in progress, with the Germans attempting. by counter att tacks. to stem the Fernch tide. These attacks are reported to have been weak and easily repulsed.
 In an effort, apparently to relieve tho pressure on other sections of the Vcldun loop the crown princess army launched series of violent at jacks in the Argonne region. Four times in succession the Teutons in great strength rushed the French po- sitions at La Fillemorte behind clouds of noxious gases, and after high explosive shells had been pour ed in tons upon the trenches.
 In every case the attacks broke before drenching fire of shrapnel and machine gun bullets. In adjoin- ing sectors also. the Germans suffer ed heavy losses, according to the French report.
 Paris Wild Over Success.
 Thousands of German prisoners arc reported to be passing through from Northern France and the joy of the people in the French metropo- lis is reported to be. passing all bounds S*5
 A squadron of 12O aeroplanes as- cended today and cut figures over the city in celebration of the victory.
 The English booty of the last few days, according to report of Field Marshal Sir John Frnech, totaled 5 officers, 2.S00 men, more than 1S heavy guns and 32 machine guns. 4 vast quantity of material found 1T the trenches has not yet been in. ventoried.

Many Coufederates Present.

Washington, Sept. 27-Further eyi- delce was given today tliat the wounds of '61 have healed. When the Grand Army encampment was op- ened there were present among the "Doys in Blue'' many Confederate veterans who fought against the North in that memorable struggle. IT. addition, Col. John McElroy, head of the committee on arrangements, had letters from many other South ern survivors expressing their re- grets that they were unable to come to Washington.
 President Wilson tonight extended to the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic the welcome of the na- ton to the national capital. In an address the commander-in-chief of the army and navy gave the veterans of the civil war the keys to the city and expressed the gratitude of the union to the men who were the ln- struments Of its preservation more than a half century ago.

Work on the Tennessee street bridge over Hardin's drain is expect cd to be completed today. and it is believed the structure will be talk en over by the city this evening or tomorrow.
 The bridge has been very badly needed, owing to the amount of traf- fic on that street. It is about 60 feet long. is Substantially built, and is expected to serve for many years. It was erected by J. P. McNulty, and the construction work has been un- der way several weeks, the slow progress being due to the delay in the arrival of the material.
