The Predatory Woman

The white slave" act prescribes the
punishment of man when he is not
white SLAYER and permits the escape
Of a woman who is not a white slave,
but wilfully has committed the same
offense for which the man is punished.
The result is that predatory women
may and do make use of the law with
impunity. The injustice and bad
policy of such situation have been
obscured by the moral reprobation of
masculine license. This is short sight
ed. The Mann act should be amend
ed so as TO limit it's use as an instru-
ment or eXtortion or mere revenge

 All of the breeders who offered to sell pure bred pigs to members last year at $10 each have renewed their offer this year. and few new names of breeders have been added to the list of those cooperating to place Georgia on pure bred basis. The state is developing a new standard of agriculture. due largely to the ac- tivity of the juvenile farmer. This new agriculture spells purebred pigs and 100 bushels of corn to the acre. Last year 3,200 members of corn clubs raised an average of 5S bushels of corn on an acre of land, while the average yield of corn per acre in the whole state was under IS bushels. The pig club boys, in some instances, raised pork at 3 cents per pound.

GERMANS CORDIALLY
 HATE CHAS. SCHWAB
Steel Magliate's Criticism of the Krupp Gun Cuts Deeply Into
 Pride of Germans.

Berlin, May 22.-Unless Charles M. Schwab wants to meet with a sudden death I should not advise him to visit Germany for many months to come for he is even. more cordially hated here than ex-President Roosevelt or pr. Eliot of Harvard, and l have heard his name denounced every where ever since he told New York reporter what he thought of Krupp's guns. N.
 To find fault with Krupp's amounts to lese majeste in German eyes, and that an expert on steel like MT. Schwab should tell the world that the guns turned out at Essen are an- tiquated, has hurt German pride more than words are able to express.
 To make matters worse letters from German officers and privates at both fronts are constantly rubbing it into people that no army in the world can withstand the French 75's and that even the Russian guns appear to De superior to the German.

VARSITY SUMMER SCHOOL.
Prospects Good for Record. Breaking
 Attendance.

Fayetteville, May 22.-Thc pros ! poets for attendance at the summer school at the state university are brighter than ever before not with standing the handicap of small funds. The pre- enrolment this, year is all ready larger than ever before. And inquiries from Oklahoma. Texas and Arkansas are becoming more numer- ous every day. One of the features that is proving a drawing card is the opening of the training school to practice teaching during the summer, from which many teachers in Arkan- sas are anxious for a life certificate, but are not able to do the required residence work for the L. I. degree during the school year when they must be teaching. It is now made possible for them to fulfill their re- quirements of resident in two sum- mers and cd the remainder of the work by correspondence.
 The superintendent of schools of
 one of the best towns in southern
 Arkansas has notified the director of the summer school of the stato uni versity that he is going to bring his entire corps of teachers with him for the summer term. Arrangements are being made for all of these corps of teachers to do practice teaching at hours when their superintendent may spend much of his time with their critic teachers and so be able to see them at work under expert supervi- sion.

Alexander the Great Used Submerged Graft 300 Years Before Christ.
MONK 0 RIGI N A T o R
Oue Hundred Years Before Siege of Tyre. a Monk Suggested Undersea ROat to Travel on Bottom on Wheels.
lBY Sidney Espey.)

Washington, May 22.-Like the aer- |oplane the submarine traces it's de- |scent from antiquity. So far back in ieed does it trace itself that the history of experiments. in that re- hpect are coincident with the oldest folklore.>
 Probably the most comprehensive Collection of books and manuscripts pn the history and perfecting of the Submarine is on the shelves of the li- |brary at the navy department at Washington.
 Musty old volumes long since out of print and books of the latest edi- lions here record mans conquest of (he deep.
 The history of the submarine reads like a romance. Mans attempts to Explore the mysteries of the sea Ieem to have been coetaneous with hat of flying.
 Every school boy is familiar with |he story of how the old Greek hero baedalus tried to fly over the Aegean bea equipped with huge pair of Eings fastened to his shoulders with vax. but rising too high the sun melt d them.
 As a parallel with this might be nentioned Aristotle's account of how Alexander the Great more than 300 ears before Christ used submerged raft during the siege of Tyre.
 In 1920 England stood aghast at he construction of an underwater raft by Dutchman named Cornelius Ian Drebbel. This submarine was quipped with twelve oarsmen and on me trip carried no less a parsonage han King James l.
 Nearly a century previous to this, owever, a monk had suggested the obstruction of metal vessel-wa- ertight and capable of resisting wa er pressure when submerged.
 The crudeness of his idea amuses ow in the light of the recent achieve bents of the modern underwater raft

 Postal savings receipts have broken all records the past year. During the egiht months prior to April 1 there was a net gain in deposits of S19,000,- 900, as against gain of $S,0OO,O0O for the same months the year before. Thousands of new accounts have been opened and the millions made up largely of hidden savings have been turned back into the channels of trade just at time when there was pressing demand for every dollar.

Running Bird Bests Aeroplane.

The little humming bird can do bet ter than the aeroplane. for in it's mi grafton across the Gulf of Mexico it flies over 800 miles in single night. Nearly all birds. in fact, show in their soaring and sailing that they are proficient in the use of several fac tors in the art of flying that have not yet been mastered either in principle or practice by the most skillful of modern aviators. A vulture or crane after few preliminary wing beats sets it's wings and mounts in wide sweeping circles to a great height overcoming gravity with no exertion apparent to human vision even when assisted by the most powerful teles- cOpes.

Uncle Sam Will Accept Ac- counts by Mail, Beginning
 July 1.
IS POPULAR
During Eight Months Prior to April l.. Net Gain in Deposits of 19 Millions. With Aliens Owning More
 Than 50 Per Cent,

An important extension of the post al savings bank service to be made July 1, will permit every person in the United States, ten years old or over, to open savings accounts with Uncle Sam by mail. This announce ment is made in a leaflet issued by PcstmasterGeneral Burleson and re- ceived by Postmaster. Wilbourne of Pine Bluff
 Pine Bluff has two postal savings banks, one at the main office and one at Westend station, where all neces- sary information will be gladly fur nlshed and accounts opened on any week day between the hours of a. m. and D. m.
 Governor Cookery. third assistant postmasterg general, who has direct supervision of postal savings, was so impressed by appeals from all over the country to open postal savings accounts by mail that he took up the task some weeks ago of working out 9, feasible and safe method for meet ing a demand we'll illustrated in a letter from Saline county Missouri ian, who resides many miles from a postal savings bank.
 Having a few hundred dollars saved from fifty years of hard and assiduous labor and skimping econo- my on the part of my wife and my self, we concluded to deposit it in the postal savings bank of -. We wrote to the postmaster at that place and received reply to the effect that none but patrons of that office could deposit in that office which is very disappointing news to us. Our lit tie farm is not large enough to SUD- port us and land is so high that it is impossible for us to buy more with what little we have saved and we are so old that we can't labor much now and we would be glad to lay by at least enough to put us away in de- cency."
 The leaflet will soon be printed in 22 foreign languages for distribution through local postoffices. The for eign-born citizen has taken very kindly to postal savings, and litera- ture in his own language will be of great assistance to him. In recent article. Postmaster-General Burleson commented nthe foreign-born de- positor as follows:
 Upwards of 5O0,O00 depositors now have accounts in the postal savings system and they represent every na- tionality on the earth. They also represent almost every known occu- pation-professiona men, theatrical people, mechanics, laborers, fisher men, pack peddlers, etc. But the ma jority are wage-earners, and of this class the foreign-born largely pre- dominate. A census of depositors talk en by the postoffice department shows that approximately 40 per cent (2O0,' OOO) of the depositors are foreign born citizens and they own more than 50 per cent of the deposits-splendle evidence of the confidence of our new ly acquired citizens in the ability anc good faith of their adopted country tt fulfill it's obligations.
