Jit Hits
Boy;leg
Broken

Stepping out from behind a
milk wagon at 9Th and st. Helens
avenue this morning, Nelson Bed
ford, age IL, walked directly in
the path of Sixth avenue jitney
bus, bound toward the city. The
child was knocked down and one
leg was broken just above the
ankle.
Charles Lemon, chauffeur of
the jitney, hurriedly took the In
jured boy to the Tacoma Private
Sanitarium. Then he went for
the boys mother and took her
to the sanitarium. Later he vol
unfairly drove to police head
quarters and offered to give him
self up.
Because witnesses said that the
accident was unavoidable, no
charge was preferred, and Lemon
was not held.

CHICAGO, July 26.-The first
actual step toward fixing the re-
sponsibility for the Eastland dis
aster came this afternoon when
Charles III. Westcott, federal In
spector, was called before the
grand Jury by Maclay Hoyne,
states attorney.
He is the man who. Is alleged
to have permitted the Eastland
to load $500 passengers for the
excursion when her legal limit
was 2,070.
Westcott is not Chicago man,
but has headquarters in Detroit.
He is the supervisor over the gen.
eral middle west territory, and in
his general overseeing capacity is
alleged to have issued the fatal
permit which led to overlooking.
Fund Growing.
Thousands of dollars poured
into the fund for the Eastland
victims today. 1t was while this
fund was piling up, and while
divers were still hunting the bot
tom of the river for bodies that
Hoyne started his investigation.
Hoyne maintains 1t was neglect
on the part of the inspectors
which was responsible for the dis
aster. and he was prepared to
prove. he said, that the Eastland

VISES DOROTHY GISH
BY ESTHER HOFFMAN,
$50 much depends upon the way
you use your hands, said pretty Dor
othy Gish, the other day.
When l asked her what her beauty
prescription was for keeping her
hands smooth and white she said:
"Of course, the way you use your
hands does not particularly make for
their whiteness. After the usual
care, which every well-groomed
woman gives to all her person, there
is a grace of poise and gesture that,
if acquired, will give almost any girl
the reputation of having beautiful
hands.
There is nothing which helps a
girl to acquire this as seeing herself
as others see her on the screen.
"'Only few girls are movie act
resses,' some of the pretty seekers
after beauty will remark, How shall
we who are Just girls learn to use
our hands with grace?'
First" said Dorothy Gish, you
must observe others and find where
the other girl is graceful and where
she is awkward. Then you must OBJ
serve yourself after you have taken
your deep breathing exercise in the
morning, take little time to perfect
yourself in grace. If possible stand
before a long mirror and practice
moving your hands to fix your hair,
to hold book, to put on your hat, to
clasp and unclasp them while talk
ing, to make the everyday gestures
when talking. Do this until it be-
comes second nature to you and you
will soon be called the girl with the
beautiful hands"

 RESIGNS DEPUTYSHIP

Little Rock, Oct. 11.-Robert M. Hutchins this morning announced his resignation as Deputy Commissioner of Mines, Manufactures and Agricul- ture, effective Nov. 1. He will engage in the practice of law with his broth CT, County Judge A. L. Hutchins of Woodruff county.
 MT. Hutchins served under Hon. Clay Sloan, who was appointed Com missioner after the death of Hon. Fred H. Phillips, and was reappointed by Commissioner Page. He has been most active man, has edited two books on the resources of Arkansas, and a number of Farmers Bulletins.
 In his letter of resignation to Com missioner Page, MT. Hutchins says
 q am proud to have been associated with you in your efforts to build up this Department. and hesitate over leaving work that has such an oppor- tunity for service. In my opinion no department of state can render the service to the people that this depart ment can, with proper legislative en- couragement. l hope to see immigra- tion encouraged because with more thiclly settled communities We can af- ford more good roads and better schools, that are almost impossible in these cases where so few people bear the burden. 1 hope to see the state encourage mineral development and thereby save to the land owner what is rightfully his. There are untold avenues for service in your depart ment and I am glad to see it begin to fulfill the mission for which it was created"

WHOLESALERS FORC-
 ED TO RESTOCK
Activity in Business Little Rock is Something Never Before EXperienced-GrOcery Houses Working Night and Day.

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-The best indi- cation of improved trade condition is the unprecedented rush in the Little Rock wholesale houses. The dry goods concerns have been forced to entirely restock, something never required of them before. The machinery and hardware houses are loading from cars received into cars going out, with out ever having their goods in the house. The grocery houses are work ing night shifts already, and all oth- CT lines are rushed accordingly by the heavy buying.
 The best indication of all, however, is the way the country merchants are liquidating their accounts, practically every wholesale house in the city re- porting notes not due until December and January as being paid and the out of town customer saves the interest.
