The great problem Of the winter
will be the billeting of all the new
divisions which have come out since
last year. In the villages well be-
hind the firing lines, every out-build-
ing and old barn has been requisi-
toned, cleaned, repaired and made
into shelter against the wind and
cold. But nearer the firing lines
most fof the buildings have been
smashed into ruins, and although
they were disable for housing pur-
poses during the summer, they are
plainly Impossible after mid-Noyem-
Der. The problem is being dealt with
to some extent by the building OF
portable houses and huts, but the
armies grow too fast for the car
ipenters.
The,work Of the aeroplane obsery-
.ers gets more difficult as winter ap-
proaches. The sfogs Of the late au-
tumn cling to the ground in little
patches well into the day. while the
evening mists make observations DIFF

Goettingen had a secondary fame-an
excellent brand Of sausage, manufac-
tured primarily for the students, but
respected throughout Germany. Also,
there were made within its confines
various scientific instruments noted
for their delicate accuracy. The sau-
sage and the instrument manufacture.
however, were too intimately linked
with the being Of the university to
detract from its fame. The American
colony at Goettingen was another fea-
ture Of the. little city's life. due to
the generosity of a German who felt
the desirability Of student friendships
between Americans, Germans and
English, and number of class rooms
in which subjects were taught and dis
'cussed best adapted to bring about
a deeper understanding at the
German speech, custom, ideals and
aspirations. The membership Of
the scolony which was moved
into these rooms in 1908 numbered
more than one hundred, whereas the
colony, from year to year, fiuctuated
in membership approx imately between
fifty to $50. Some members Of the
colony came to oettingen many years
ago, and, captivated by the charm Of
the little city have never found heart,
to leave it."

UNDERWORLD EXISTS
THROUGHOUT SOCIETY
Wrong Ideals Instil'ed by Mothers
Potent In Promoting immortality,
Says Physician.

Chicago, June 30.-Wrong ideals
instilled by mothers are more potent
factors in promoting immortality than
Is commercialized vice, according to
DR.. Albert A, Ogre of Indianapolis,
who spoke before the bureau of sani-
tary science of the American institute
of Homeopathy.
"The time is opportune for re-
casting of our ideas regarding causes
OF immortality" said DR.. Ogle. The
popular theory that low wages to wo-
mta cause immortality Is vanishing
into thin air.
"The underworld is largely mis-
understood. We are pleased to think
that immortality exists only in segre-
gated districts, the underworld OF
sensational writer's and the police
courts. In reality the underworld ex-
lists throughout society. At the very
beginning of married life the founda-
ton Of the home and all future hap
piness are seriously menaced by the
spernicious education of young wives
who refuse to assume their RESPONSE
bilities.
I'm the universal franchise that is
soon to be theirs women must realize
that there is deeper, truer patrio-
| tism than waving bit of white dur
ling the playing of the national an
Them. Their patriotism must be ex-
pressed in the intelligence. and integ-
lrity of their children"

TRAFFIC LIGHTS
1T BUSY CORNERS
70 Be INSTALLED


As al result OF series of confer
ences between Manager 3. G.. Fowles
OF the Pine Bluff company and Alder
men G: IA, Bahlau and Frank Franey.
Arrangements have been completed
for the installation of traffic lights
In the center Of the street intersec-
lions at Main and Second avenue,
Main and Fifth avenue and Main and
Sixth avenue, these intersections
being the most important and the
heaviest travelled in the entire city.
The matter Of 'erectins i traffic
lights was first preached BY Manager
Fowles IN The Graphic "a month or
more ago, while the new pavement
was being laid in Main street between
Third avenue and Barraque street. At
that time, Mr.. Fowles had workmen
Of his company install the necessary
cable and connections ait Main ana
Second avenue, so there would be no
need to tear up the street there if the
traffic lights were Installed at any
time thereafter.
that the poles be erected by the city
or through popular subscription, an
nouncing that the Pine Bluff COM
pany would then furnish the power
for the lights The arrangement per-
fected between the company, through
Mr.. Fowles, and the city, through
Aldermen Bahlau and Franey. is for
the company to install the poles and
the city TO pay for the power at the
rate Of 81 per pole per month, an ag-
gregate cost to the city of 500 per
year.
Traffic lights are found Of great
value wherever there is congestion
OF travel, inasmuch as they serve as
insistent guides TO. all drivers to
keep to the right and to make
turns properly They serve also as
proof in cases OF violations OF these
primary traffic laws, and it is believ-
ed they will do much good here in as
sisting to regulate traffic. The poles
will be slender and at the same time
ornamental. will not be in the way of
any vehicles, and at their top will
carry a red lamp, which will be
burning at nights. They will be in
stalled as soon as the poles are re-
ceived from the factory where they
have been ordered by Mr. Fowles.

Arrangements have been conn
pleted for the big Fourth Of July pic
mic to be given by the East Pine
Bluff Civic league Monday. July 8,
and if there is good weather 1t Is ex-
pected there will be big crowd out.
The league originally expected TO
make the affair one that would be
attended by any one In the city, but
finally decided not to give barbecue
contenting themselves with holding
an old-time basket picnic. for mem
hers Of the league and their families,
The picnic will be held on the Tamo
pike, at the Alexander bottoms, about
six miles from the city.
The picnickers will meet at Sixth
and Ohio streets at 1890 O'Clock Mon
day morning, and they will brin.
their own dinner. Conveyances will
be provided free by the league, but
that all may be provided, members
have been asked to notify the presi-

There will be no fixed program at
the picnic grounds, but there will be
games of all kinds and other pleas

there appears little reason to doubt
the picnickers will have good time.

SOUTHERN WHITE
Negroes FRIEND
Pine Bluff Negro Minister
Finds Cause for Jubilation
in Court Decree.

Nashville, Tenn, June 30.-Rev. J..
G. Robinson of Pine Bluff lark, adj
dressed the Negro civic league here
tonight at the st John African 'Metno-
dist Episcopal church. DR.. Robinson
state that he was winding up a trip
which had taken him through Georgia
South Carolina, North Carolina, and
Ohio where he had been addressing
school closings, civic leagues and
preaching at REVEALS etc. In the
course of his address here he said:
II have all along advocated that
the Negroes best place on earth. is
in the Southern STATES. I further hold,
that the trusst friends to my peo-
pie are the Southern white people
Of course it is hard for the condi-
tons that were imposed upon us by
slavery to be suddenly changed. It
will be hard for the white South to
universally admit the fact that the
negro is entitled to all the rights of
citizenship. Still, when we do get
the privileges to vote, and to act the
part of citizens that right will be
given to us by the white people of the
South.
Il was living in Ohio when Mr..
Taft appointed Mr.. Justice White the
chief justice of the supreme court Of
the United States. I had made
speeches for the nomination and for
the election of Mr.. Taft in several
states of the union When Mr.. Taft
announced the appointment Of Mr..
White, I, with others, began cru
SADIE among the negroes OF the coun-
try for the defeat of Mr.. Taft's fur
Their occupancy of the white house,
4 joined the Progressive party, and
made fOrty-seven speeches in Mis-
souri, and Illinois for the Progressive
ticket headed by Mr.. Roosevelt, and
the chief burden Of my talks was,
that Mr.. Taft had betrayed the negro
vote into the hands of our enemies
by his supreme court appointments.
But, my friends, it was left to Mr..
White. and his associates to render
the greatest decision for the honesty
of the ballot, and the protection of
the citizenship rights of the country
that has even been rendered in the
history of the nation While | have
all along cortended that the South
is the best place for the Negro to
live, did think, that some how, the
Northern man would have to give us
those rights guaranteed by the con-
stitution But, now am not only
convinced that the South is out best
place, but that pure and honest men
of the South will be the ones to see
to it that all of the citizens of the
country. without regards to color be
given their rights as such. The negro
of the South can not help but re-
joice in the fact, that one who car
iried the musket in the Southern
army and afterward became SO emf
nent in the affairs OF the nation as to-
sit at the head Of its highest court,
can make such a decision as was
rendered the other day. Let us take
courage. live right, support the con-
stitution. work for the upbuilding of
the nation, and take hope-the future
is bright"

ELSIE JANIS REFUSES $150,OOO YEARLY SALARY
Acceptance of Tempting Salary;
Plus an Interest in the Bush
ness. Delayed Until Her Lon
don Engagement. Has Been
Fulfilled. u

When Miss Janis was leaving the
Bosworth, Inc. studio, just prior to
her sailing for Europe, the news came
SUIT other temporary refusal to accept
s1s0.MO yearly salary and an interest
in the business for directing and
screening eight pictures year be-
. cause OF her desire to fulfil her Lon
lion engagement under the manage
ment Of MIR. Alfred Butt at the Pal
ace Theatre.
This offer seemed SO stupendous--
the sum being twice that of the SAL
ary of the President. of the United
States-that a representative. of this
paper called upon the authorities at
HE sBosworth studio in Los Angeles
to ascertain the reason for such a
salary and whether it was based up
OH sound economic lines.
"Ycs," was the reply, 1T is true
that we offered Miss Janis this sum.
Why? Because she is worth that fig
IRE and more to our concern. Miss
Janis has shown herself capable not
only to write photop1ays of unusual
merit, but capable to direct and act
them with UNUSUAL attractiveness
grace and charm. In fact. it is OPEN
y stated by many who have seen her
FIRST picture. "The Caprices OF Kitty"
that she has inaugurated new era in
motion picture production because
she not only is able to weave situa-
hons that have a. thrill and punch
but that possess clever touch OF
comedy. entirely distinct from the
Objectionable "slap-stick" variety.
