NAVAL ORDERS SENT BY
 WIRELESS TELEPHONE.

Secretary of the Navy Dan- iels has sent the first naval or der by wireless telephone. Sit ting at his desk in Washington and using an ordinary Bell tele- phone instrument, he called up Admiral Usher, commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yards. His words were carried by wire to the Arlington, Va, radio sta- tion, and thence by wireless to New York, a distance of 225 miles, where his voice continued to its destination over the reg ular New York exchange lines.
 Secretary Daniels order to Admiral Usher was, Report as soon as possible how repairs on the New York can be complet- ed"
 Admiral Usher said later that he could hear every word dis tinctly, and that the talk by wireless was very successful.
 Secretary Daniels said: "This is indeed the miracle age. Just think! Soon I shall be able to sit at my desk and give orders direct to commanders of ships on the ocean,"
 Captain Bullard, chief of the United States Navy Radio Ser vice, explained that the navy had loaned it's radio towers to the Bell Telephone System to carry out it's experiments with the wireless telephone.
 Secretary Daniels message was also heard by the United States Navy wireless operators in Charleston, s. C., Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and Fire Island.

Palm street is putting on ar tistic airs, and that portion of it between Prospect and Lee av- enues aspires to be one of the exclusive private residence dis tricts of the popular suburb.
 Ornamental gateways are to be erected at the Prospect ave- nue and Lee avenue entrances, and the two blocks intervening are to be paved and sidewalks put down on both sides of the street. '
 A petition for the formation of a special improvement dis trict to carry out this improve ment was presented at the meeting of the City Council Monday night.
 This street is in the district included in the Lee avenue i'm provement, and it is the plan to have the sidewalks down and the ornamental gateways built by the time Lee avenue, the new boulevard between Little Rock and Pulaski Heights, is opened.
 Residents of Palm Place will take more than ordinary inter est in the arrangement of their yards, and will cooperate in making this one of the residen- tial show places of the Heights. There are many attractive homes along the street.

 Probably Tuesday, Jan. 4th.

On the suggestion of the may ors of the two cities and the committees having in charge the plans, Judge Joe Asher probably will set Tuesday, January 4, as the date for the special election at which the question of the annexation of Pulaski Heights to Little Rock will be voted on in both cities.
 Petitions signed by 106 prop erty owners of Pulaski Heights and 112 property owners of Lit tie Rock were presented to the Little Rock City Council on Mon day night by Aldermen Powers and Brickhouse. The petitions were received and filed and the

GALLOWAY GLEANINGS.
Dear PulaSkian:

Dear Pu1aSk1an.
 The farmers held a meeting at Scott's on Tuesday last to wit ness a demonstration of the tractor engine, which it is thought will greatly facilitate blowing. The Galloway plant CTS say if it is successful it will revolutionize farming in the fu- ture, as it will save the using of so many mules. We will hate not to hear the cheery bray of the mule, and to give up the sight of the drowsy negro and the mule,
 The gleaner has had little to glean of late. Corn and hay are in the barns, cotton nearly all picked and being ginned. 'Ta- ters are stored for the winter to "spile" or not to "spile;;" ;" that is the question.
 w. J. Alexander and his son, David, arrived from Asheville, N. C., on Tuesday to spend the winter with relatives and friends. The aforementioned is the father of c. N., J. R. and Da- vid Alexander and Mrs. Schaer. He is hale and hearty at the ripe age of 85, and takes deep in terest in everything that goes on on the plantation and in the world generally. He is really more conversant with the war conditions than any of us, and is frequently referred to for in formation on the subject of the mighty struggle.

TWELFTH STREET PIKE FIX. TENSION IS KNOCKED
 OJJT.

After the withdrawal of such a large number of names from the petition to create an i'm provement district for the ex- tension of the Twelfth street pike that there was not enough left to give the project the supp port of either a majority of the property valuation, of the acre. age or of the resident owners, Judge Asher denied the pe- tition. This knocks out the pro- posed improvement completely. If the movement is started again it will be necessary to first circulate a new petition. It was proposed to extend Twelfth street pike through Ferndale and the western part of the county to the Saline county line.

SPECIAL MEETING CALLED
Little District Has Had Nothing but Trouble Since 1t First Un- dertook the Job of Smoothing Down the Spinal Column of Pulaski Heights.

H. F. Auten Monday night ap- peared before the Pulaski Heights City Council and made vigorous complaint against the assessments made for special improvements in District No. 8, which includes Eighth avenue, Valmar and Martin streets. He said that on some lots the as- sessments amounted to confsca- tion, and that on others they were unexplainably low. He said that improvements were not taxed at all, and that a very sorry mess had been made in fixing the benefits.
 From the manner the assess ments were made, it must be the work, he said, of the jani- tor, the sexton, or some other very inexperienced person. He had aked one of the assessors about it, and was told that he thought the column represent ing the valuations on the assess or's books represented the ben efts. Evidently some mistake had been made, and MT. Auten said that property owners were indignant.
 Alderman Reaves said that he was member of the board of commissioners, but had only re- gently succeeded E. J. Clancy, and he was not familiar with the affairs of the district. He suggested that a meeting of the property owners be called and that the commissioners of the district meet with them and see if the trouble could not be ad- justed.
 Mayor Bradley fixed next Monday night as the time for this meeting, at the new coun- cil chambers in the Morgan Smith building.
 District No. 8 has been Jo- nah. Three or four attempts were made before the creation of the district was finally effected, the matter going through the courts on account of one lot having been omitted from the petition. When the work was we'll started it was found that there would not be sufficient funds to complete the job, and Judge Asher was ap- pealed to for help.
 After the job was finished it was generally unsatisfactory, for the reason that one side of Eighth avenue was graded low CT than the other, and Martin and Valmar streets have such heavy grades that it is almost impossible to move traffic over them.

One of the heaviest tax pay CTS in the district says he has not been able to get his auto into his garage since his street was graded.
 MT. Auten plainly told the members of the council Monday night that if the assessments in this district were allowed to stand, neither he nor any of his companies would ever sign an other improment petition.

PLAN TO COMPLETE LITTLE
 ROCK-PINE BLUFF PIKE.

Judge Asher has promsied on behalf of Pulaski county to pay one-half of the cost of macadam- izing a six-inile gap in the Little Rock-Pine Bluff pike in Perkins township, which territory re- gently was acquired by annexa- tion from Saline county. There are several large tracts of land in the territory, including part of the Homestead plantation. S.. L. Kay and other property own CTS contemplate forming an im- provement district. It is esti- mated that the work will cost $40,000. County Engineer c. s. Doyle will assist in the construc- tion.

from the Philadelphia Ledger.
A man who earned $1.43O a year says he
stole his employers money because he was
unable to live on his wages. His was
double the average income Of all Ameri-
can wage earners.
1t is away beyond the income Of our
dozen million farmers. most Of whom
have large. families to support. It is
about double the pay of motormen and
conductors. on our street railways.
u policemen and fremsn do not get
preachers pre- t%hroughout the United states
who couldn't live on $3.50 a week.
The income of American lawyers and
American doctors does not equal 1t. while
the pay of school teachers is away below
that figure. No store clerk. and hardly
a single typewriter in the land, earns that
much money.
Not one of the 10 richest men In Pbila-
delphia earned $1.43O a year when he was
q young man starting his career. One Of
our half dozen largest income taxpayers
says he earned SIG a month.
Lincoln practiced law for years before
he made $3.50 a month.
Fortunately for the honor Of our coun-
try no such deadline Of dishonesty was
ever established.
