COUNTY TO PAY HALF
 OF ROAD WORK COST
SIX-MILE STRETCH OF PINE BLUFF ROUTE WILL BE IM-
 PROVED SOON.

Little Rock, Oct. 30.-That Pulaski county will pay half the expense Of improving a six-mile stretch of the Little Rock-Pine Bluff highway in Perkins township, was promised com missioners of the road district in that township by County Judge Joe Asher at a meeting in his office yesterday. The proposition is to be presented to property owners in the district and another meeting will probably be held Monday.
 The township was transferred from Saline county to Pulaski county by the last legislature. The road district, formerly road district No. 1 of Sa- line county, embraces 22,000 acres. In the district are several owners of large tracts who favor the improve ment and it is believed that the prop osition will be accepted.
 Judge Asher also offered the ser vices of County Highway Engineer c. G. Doyle to look after preliminary work. It is estimated that the im- provement will cost S40,000.
 The improved road will connect with the "Dollarway' pike in Jeffer son county and provide 8 good road from Little Rock to Pine Bluff. The Little Rock end of the road is the Sweet Home pike, recently renamed the Confederate road.
 The commissioners who conferred with Judge Asher yesterday are s. L. Kay, Gordon Greenfield, Dr. C. E. Reed and O. H. Wilson of Morrilton.

Pneumonia Deaths For Month
Already s5, While Last
December Had Only 81.
VENTILATION REMEDY URGED
Health Department Advises
Stunning Crowded Cars and
Assembly Halls.

A marked Increase in the death rate
OF the District last year is shown
nv figures being compiled by the
Health Department.
The number of deaths for 1914 was
5SSG. The number OF deaths record
cd up to and including December 25,
1915, was G,3S7, an increase Of 521,
with figures for six days to be added.
Health officer w G. woodward 8
mortality report will be made public
about lnuary 5. Until the report Is
completed It will be impossible to
determine the specific causes of the
increos sed mortality.
One factor, said DIR. Woodward, is
the presence of pulmonary diseases.
Pneumonia Deaths.
During the week ending last Satur-
day there were thirty deaths from
pneumonia recorded. During the
week preceding, there were eighteen
deaths. For the four weeks of De-
cember, with six days to be added,
pneumonia claimed eighty-five vic
Tins.
During December, 1914. there were
thirty-seven deaths from this cause.
Pneumonia was prevalent also dur
ing the spring of 1915, the records
show.
Grip is not unusually prevalent, ac-
cording to the officials. During the
week ending December 20. only one
death from this cause was recorded
and none during the week previous.
Ventilation Urged.
Care in the prevention of pneumonia
is urged by the Health Department.
An increase in the number of cases
is to be expected with the advent Of
cold weather, not due to any decrease
in temperature, but because of defec-
tive ventilation, incident to the cold,
say health authorities.
The first consideration for the pre-
vention of pneumonia is to have at all
times an adequate supply of fresh air.
The department advises avoidance of
crowded assembly halls, crowded
street cars and overheated rooms. Due
regard, the physicians say, should be
paid to dress. Warning is given also
against Indulgence in alcoholic
liquors.

NEW YORK BIGGEST
OF CITIES SINCE 1871
Fact That London Took Second
Place Was Hidden BY British
BIunder.

LONDON. Dec. 29.--New York is the
largest city in the world London by
reason Of losses occasioned by the war
and because of a gigantic mistake in
estimating the population, must now ad-
init that the American metropolis Is the
bigger by about a quarter of a million
people.
Nor are matters improved. as Lon
doners have imagined by comparing the
population of Greater London with that
of Greater New York. for there again
the American metropolis beats the older
city by 1872 900.
1t is four years now since the last
census of London was taken, but the
official figures have Just been made
public.
These figures show, among other
things, an astonishing blunder. The
census revealed that there we're actually
some four and one-half millions within
the county of London (Which means
London prCper). but the London county
council and other local authorities had
been estimating that the population was
10000 more, and accordingly all statis-
tics as to births anc, deaths have been
inaccurate.
The exact number Of people in the
county of London, according to these
1911 figures, is 4.52i 1858, whereas New
York city in 1910 numbered 4.T66,eS3.
Counting In extra London as II is
termed (that Is. London outside the
county),Tthe population Of the erstwhile
metropolis of the world Is 1851. .3jS.
whereas that of Greater New York, in
Guiding the WestcheSter and New Jer-
sey suburbs, was at the last census T.
3S3,ST1.
Considering, however. that the latter
count was made in 1914, three years
later than LondUn's most recent emu
meration. the probability Is that the
biggest cities Of the Old and New World
are now just about neck and neck.

Millions in India are waiting TO

for the self-imposed burden Great Bri-
tain was bearing in the struggle FOR
liberty and freedom and pride that IN
dia had proved herself not whit De
hind the rest of the empire in the as
sistance given the mother country"
Continuing, Sir Satyendra expressed
the hope that 1.-The spontaneous outburst
of loyalty had dispelled forever all dis
trust anu suspicion between the Indians
and their rulers" The speaker ad-
mitted that the time had not arrived
for self-government In India, but ne
urged the British government to approve
ungrudgingly the goal to which India
aspired and also to permit the recruit
ing of a strong national Indian army.
