STREET RAILWAY CARMEN ADVOCATE.
 CNE-MAN CREWS Sign Petition to Council Asking Car Company Be
 Given Privilege.
IT JITNEYS CUT
 INTO THE RECEIPTS
Carmen Declare >Only Three Mem Be Made JObless by Change, and Un. less This Is Done, Company Be
 Compelled to Cut Salaries.

Motormen and conductors in the employ of the Pine Bluff company favor the plan to- operate with one- mans crews. A petition, signed by them, will be presented to Mayor Bloom tomorrow for submission; tO the council, which is asked by the carmen to repeal the ordinance re- quiring street car companies to use a motOrman and conductor on each car
 The carmen contend that it will be to the mutual advantage of them- selves and the company, because un- less the council permits the opera tion of cars with a one-man crew, the company will be compelled to re- duce the number of cars in operation and, possibly, curtail salaries. The carmen declare the company's re- ceipts have decreased during tn. past year, to the extent of about $75 a day. This, they attribute to the num- Der of privately-Owned automobiles and to the operation of 17 jitneys. The working force by the one man crew will be reduced only by three, the carmen declare.
 The petition was circulated among the carmen by James Goldman, a conductor on the street railway 'sys- tenn, and up to last night all but two of them had affixed their signatures. These two had not been seen, but will sign today or tomorrow, it was stated.

Arrangements About Com plete for Flotation of Loan
 on Time Warrants.
EASTERN BANKERS
 MAY FURNIsHMCNEY
Proposition Pending for Some Time Will Be Disposed of This Week, When Fmanciers Will Visit Pine
 Blnfi-,Means Big Saving to City.

Definite announcement will be made Wednesday or Thursday of next week, whether or not the city of Pine Bluff will be able to borrow $100,000 on time" warrants falling due in 1918 and 1919r one-half the amount borrowed to be paid back in each of these years.
 Such was the information given out yesterday. after the return to the city of City Clerk William A. Lee and City Attorney Earl s. Wood. who spent the dcy at Little Rock, in con ference over the matter with Mayor Charles E Taylor and the city at- torney of Little Rock.
 The conference yesterday was for the purpose of acquiring the local au- thorities with Hhe legal technicalites surrounding the proposed loan, the nature and terms of the ordinances and concilmanic orders that must be passed and issued, that the lenders of the money may be given assurance they will be repaid.
 Has Been Long Pending.
 The proposition has been pending quite a while. having come up more particularly shortly after Mayor Fay Tor of Little Rock succeeded in "fi- nsncing" the indebtedness of the capital city. Mayor Bloom discussed the proposition at the time with May or Taylor, and later with representa- tives of the Eastern bankers who are furnishing the money. Then the mayor conferred with focal friends and advisers, with the result that the proposition has been 90 well advanc- ed that a final answer from the bankers is expected by Wednesday or Thursday of next week, when the rep resentatiWes of the bankers are to visit Pine Bluff to close the deal.
 It will be known definitely Monday, it is expected, whether these repre- sentatives will be here on Wednesday or on. Thursday. Councilmanic ac- ticn on the proposition being abso- lutely necessary, it is expected there will be a conference of the council members Monday or Tuesday after noon, to discuss the matter thorough Fly and to decide what will be. dcne. Decision reached at the conference can be formally carried out at the next meeting of the council, So that there will be no time lost in handl- ing the proposition, and the city will reap the benefits at the earliest pos sible moment. ar

 '"WeI spent the day in conference with Mayor Taylor and the Little Rock city aattorney," said City Clerk Lee last evening. "We learned from tI,o,,, ,,,hot action wil1 he nQcnSSQrv by the council, to carry through the proposed loan, and especially did we ascertain what it will be necessary for the, council to do, in the way oi adopting ordinances, to make good the repayment of the loan. ,

 Philadelphia, Oct. 9.--Hail to the new world series hero, Pitcher George Foster of Boston, who, almost unaid- cd, beat back every frenzied attack cf those battling Phillies, and then, in the final inning of the game, club bed long hit that gave to the Red Sox a 2 to ] victory over the Phillies, in The second battle for the baseball championship of the world. It was a wonderful baseball game; one that was filled with tense, thrill ling moments. and one that abounded iE brilliant feats, yet to Foster. be- longs the greatest porticn of the glory. because he played game of- fensively and defensively that eclipses anything heretofore written into world series history.
 These are the things Foster did, while President Woodrow Wilson ana his party. together with the 10000 His Wonderful Feat.
 He struck out ten Phillies' batsmen, flaming the slugging Cravath twice. : He didn't issue base on balls. , He allowed only three hits. He killed eff hit for one of the Phillies and saved First Baseman Hoblitzel two errors. by racing over to first. covering the bag and taking throws that retired the. runners.
 He made tae, longest hit of the game in the fourth inning, when he smashed the ball against the right field wall for a double.
 He singled in the eighth.
 In the ninth. with the score tied. 1 to 1. and Gardner on second, he won the game with a terrific smash to center. which netted him a single.
 The youthful Mir. Foster showed ex- treme contempt fer the Phillie slug gers. growing the balls for them every time he could and daring them to hit it. They did, three times in nine innings.
 Phillies Show G,ameness.
 The Phillies lost, but not without honor They were almost helpless before the pitching of. Foster. but 1t did not dishearten them. It was q test of their courage and their gameness, and they assayed .99 per cent pure, through the wonderful sup port they gave to the oft-faltering Erskine Mayer. They fought with their backs against the wall from the first innings on, and they never gave it up until the last man was out.
 The game. spectacular throughout, ended in spectacular way, with an amazing catch by Speaker that saved the score from being tied. With two out in the ninth. Paskert connected with one of Fosters twisters and sent it soaring toward the center field bleachers., A roar went up from the

Bridge on Line Over Which Anglo. French Troops Could Reach Serbia DestrOyed-Greek Cabinet
 Maintains Silence.

London, Oct. 9.-Belgrade, the peace capital of Serbia and the most i'm portant city in the country, was stormed and the greater part of it was occupied by Austrian and German sol diers last night and this morning.
 There is no expectation that the small portion of the city still held by the Serbian troops, when today's off cial German statement was issued will be able to hold out against the invaders. It is probable that the Ger mans and Austrians are tonight in full possession of the city, and are conse- quently ready to being their march along the Orient railroad to Nish, and the Bulgarian border, the chief ob- ject of their expedition.
 Teut0ns OYerrun Serbia.
 Other Austro-G German forces, oper- ating further east, have crossed the Danube at four points below Semen dria, and are driving the Serbians southward. It is from Semendria that a branch of the Orient railroad runs south to meet the main line, some 50 miles below Belgrade.
 Berlin reports that tlf hdloeI 10 about to leave fer, the Serbian front, and that King Ferdinand of Bulgaria will take the field as commander III chief of the Bulgarian army.
 The bulk of the Bulgarian army IS concentrated at Kostendil, 15 miles from the Serbian border.
 Bulgarians Thwart Allies.
 An unconfirmed dispatch from Bucharest states a Bulgarian force has invaded Serbia, and pressing for ward with great rapidity has reached Demir Kapu and blown up the rail- way bridge on the Salonika-N -Nish-Bel- grade railway at that point. There is no official news to confirm this report, which, if true, is of the greatest inn portance, as Ht is over this line that the FrencNa NaM British endorsements to Serbia aMpst pass.
 The AIsEo-German invasion oi Serbia coatpues over front of 25o miles. NJ '"'
 The Greek cabinet held three-hour session toSM, but no statement was forthcominsAt it's conclusion. Accordingseto the Athens Journal the, entente powers have decided to double the force originally intended for Serbia, provided Greece does not fulfill her treaty obligations.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The members of the pan-American conference, after a three-hour meeting today at the state department, unanimously decid- cd to recommend to their govern ments recognition of the Carranza government in Mexico.
 It is believed III administration cir cles that this will bring to close the troubles of Mexico which have c0n- tinued for four years The official statement issued by Secretary Lan- sing was as follows: sideration of the facts, have found that the Carranza party is the only party possessing the essentials for recognition as the de facto govern ment of Mexico, and they have so reported to their respective govern ments."
 The nations represented at the con- ference were:
 The United States, Argentina, Bra gil, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay and Guate- mala. Secretary Lansing admitted that the diplomatic agents of the Lat in-American countries not participat- ed and that they had approved the action of the conference.
 Action This Week.
 It is understood Secretary Lansing favors the early recognition of Car ranza. and it is believed at the state department that the step will be talk en some time next week. '''.
 The South and Central American republics will follow the lead of the United States. The European govern ments will also probably take similar action at an early date.
 The conference today was asssured by Carranza. officially. that persons connected with the religious Organiza- tions may return to Mexico and will be given security of property and freedom of worship. provided they have not participated in politics On the subject of general amnesty it was stated that it would be extended to all with the probable exception of those who have hcen the leaders Of the opposition. When asked if Villa would be excluded from this amnesty Secretary Lansing said no names were mentioned. It was announced that the settle ment of foreign claims was not dis cussed at the conference. it being ob- vious that stable and recognized government would be responsible for these obligations.
 No Arms to Dfsc0ntents. It also was said that the question of an embargo against the sale of arms to Villa or any other faction was not taken up. It was stated. however, that after the United States 1 has recognized Carranza. it would not be an act of friendship to permit American citizens to sell munitions of war to the opponents of a friendly government. :. It will be the policy of the United 1 States. it was emphasized. to give ] material and moral support to the Carranza government in the expccta- tior, that it will speedily restore or der. This support will take the form of the suppression of the sale of all arms. and the negotiations of a loan by the new government with AmeTi- can financiers. -N''f ta .sflsi 2

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

her.

Because" he said, 81 have fallen in

why SO? My sister, who is coming

woman with an ugly face, and, being
greatly displeased, returned and said:

Reducing IIIIteracy.

Only fifteen out of every one thou
sand children from ten to fourteen
years Of age in the United States are
unable to read and write.
These figures just announced by the
federal bureau Of education show a
striking decrease in child illiteracy
during the last fourteen years. In 1900
the number of illiterate children be-
tween the ages of ten and fourteen
was forty-two in every thousand. In
1910 this number was reduced to twen-
ty-two. Four years have further low
cred it more than 33 1-3 per cent.
Assuming only the latter rate of de-
crease, twenty years more may see
youthful illiteracy in this country al
most cease to exist save among newly
arrived immigrant families. Nor can
the present rate Of Improvement fail
to produce in the same period a
marked change in the percentage of
illiteracy in the entire population of
ten years and over-which in 1910 was
II or seventy-fve illiterates for every
thousand.

Two Groups of Spiders.

Roughly speaking, spiders may be
divided into two groups-the seden-
tary spiders, who spin snare for
the capture of their prey, and the row
ing spiders, who employ other meth
DDS for obtaining food. To this last
class belong the jumping and wolf
spiders, both of which present fea-
lures of considerable interest. The
jumping spiders are an important fam
lily, numbering several thousand spe-
cies, but they do not show to advan-
tage in temperate climates; their
home is in tropical countries, where
they attain a metallic glory of color
ing which can vie with, the brilliance
of the humming birds. The eyesight
of these spiders is very keen, and it
is curious fact that certain species
can alter the color of their eyes by d
movement of the internal mechanism.
