LOCAL OPTION HAS
 LOST IN ARKANSAS
Continued from first page)

In Washington county Morton, Demo crat, was running very close with Rice, Republican, for sheriff. Sheriff Ruddell of Randolph county. was ap- parently reelected by small ma jority.
 A feature of the election was the unusually heavy Republican vote boiled in Democratic strongholds. This was true in Pulaski county, where the Republican vote was more than half that polled by the Demo- crats. It is said this was due to the many negroes to vote who formerly did not heretofore in state and coun- ty general elections.
 The Fl Paso school district voted BolidIy for Amendment Mo- 12 and the School Board will claim the prize of- fered by the Educational Campaign Committee. Outside the district only five votes were cast against the amendment in the township. All the amendments carried. Act No. was defeated by big majority.

TEACHERS MUST
WAIT FOR SALARY
Will Only Get Part of Their
Pay During March.

! Frankfort, Ky, March 10.-3t-
cause the law prevents the transfer OF
fines and forfeitures, dog tax and
other revenues, amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars, to the
State school fund until the end of the
fiscal year, June 80, State Superin-
tendent V. o. Gilbert stated yesterday
that he will be able to make only a
partial distribution of the March pay
ment for teachers.
The treasury will diSburse for this
purpose about $4,000, this month.
The total amount of the March distri-
button is S565, 900 and the. balance
will be paid in June.
This is the first year OF the seven
months term. The first six distribu-
tons were made promptly and there
is sufficient in the treasury to meet
the March distribution; but under the
law it cannot be transferred to the
credit of the school fund before the
end of the year, when there probably
will be small surplus TO apply on
the next school year.
The estimated school revenues for
the year were "a, l47, 222.89. The
total amount credited to the school
fund up to March ! was SO, $50, 342. 4S,
of which SO, 423, 544.37 had been dis
tributed to the cities and counties,
leaving a balance at that date of
1926, 698.11.

ANCIENT LODGE ROOM.
Of the MaSOnS of HOpkiOSyille
Was In Grants Residence.

Few people are now living in Hop
kinsville who know that the Masonic
Hall long years ago was in what is
now a private residence. The pio-
neer citizen Archibald Cant, grand
father of Mr.. c. F. Jarrett and Archie
S. Cant, when he built the Grant
homestead on Main Street, now owned
and occupied by George Kolb, had an
upstairs room made twenty feet
square, in which the lodge of that day
held its meetings. Mr.. Cant was a
great Mason and a man of wealth and
the meeting place was furnished by
him without expense to the lodge.
The Grand Lodge will meet here this
year and renewed interest attaches to
the lodge room of rs years ago, which
is still in existence.

Here is where Professor William
B. Fotherlngham comes to your res.
cue with his invention Of m in.
genious instrument he calls "kallo-
meter" or beauty meter, which
proves that cold science and glowing
aesthetics can agree, and that the
face which the trained artists eye
recognizes as beautiful is really
scientifically beautiful.
Professor Fotheringham, who has
made a special study of this subject,
takes for his standard OF beauty,
in common with artists and poets OF
all ages, the faces of the Creek
statues, and fixes his measurements
accordingly.
1.-THE kallometer. which Is so

rounded curve of the cup gives the
Uranium and the hair. In the heads
of women curves are seen In their
greatest purity.
"The form OF the head, whether
Of man. woman or child, Is entirely
buIlt upon curves. There are no
angles, and the different parts glide
into one another by the most beau
tiful fluctuations OF the form, with
out any jerks or sharp corners
"The head. as a mass, falls in
profile into a square of nineinch
sides for a man. and eight and one
half inch sides for a woman the
hair being omitted. The head con-
sfsts of the face and the cranium'
and the important measurements are
the length Of the face and the pro-
1ection backwards Of the Uranium.
The length of the face In man IS
seven and one-half inches, and the
Uranium from just above the eye
brows to the widest part behind Is
eight inches.
"Excluding the hair, the face Is
divisible Into three equal divisions
falling at the eyebrows and the tip
of the nose, while the eye is placed
halfway between the extreme top
and bottom of the head when it Is
held in the normal upright position.
The mouth falls one-third Of the way
down the lowest division.

in men the ear is usually a little
further back.
THE space between the eyes IN
men, women and children is the
same. namely. the width Of one Of
The eyes. The width across the
wings of the nose in men is equal
TO, and sometimes is greater than
the width of an eye; in women 1t Is
slightly less, and in children II Is
still less. The mouth is much larger
in men than in women"
In the course of his researches
which led Professor Fotheringham
10 invent the kallometer, he reached
some very interesting conclusions.
although not one of a,thousand
beautiful faces may seem to bear
any resemblance to any other Of the
thousand says the professor, yet
all of them conform to the kallo'
meter measurements OF features.
The unity of these measurements

into Asia, end thence into Europe
though long ages afterwards, for
stone tools continued TO be used In
Great Britain and northern Europe
for about 1000 years after they had
been discarded in Egypt. Egypts
nearest source Of copper was Mount
Sinai-whence she obtained her tin,

both copper and tin lay unsupported

Phocnicians, who exploited the min

It Is not known how long time
elapsed between the discovery of the
means of making metal beads and
ornaments and the application Of
metal to the general purposes of life.
But the use Of metal for fashioning
tools and weapons certainly goes
back some 5000 years. On this point
there is an almost universal agree
ment.
It must soon have been manifest
that the new weapons left much TO
be desired IN point OF hardness, as

- ERMANY Is now, apparently,
engaged in a feverlsh search
NJ for copper, which, to her. has
ssecome indeed one of the precious
metals" To supply her dire neces-
sity. Belgian, and presumably also
German. kitchens are being ran
sacked for copper oooking-utensils,
which are being thrown into the melt.
ing pot, with every other copper ar
ticle which can be swept into the net
to furnish the munitions OF war.
It IS reported that every possible
kind of substitute is being experi-
mented with, but so far to no pur-
pose.
This news Is some indication Of the
stupendous part which the discovery
of copper has played in the history
of the worlds civilization. For with
that event was ushered in the reign
of the age of metals and tho emanci-
patton from the bondage OF the Stone
Age.
There Is naturally much room for
speculation as to the circumstances
which led up to this tremendous
event. Prof. Elliot Smith ventures
to suggest that the earliest piece of
metal was formed, accidentally, at
the toIlet.table of proto-Egyptian
belle! At any rate, it is certain that
the Egyptian women-and occasion
ally the men-used the crude copper
ore malachite, as the ingredient OF
a face-paint. And he suggests thai
one day lump of this dropped into
a charcoal fire. with the result that
a bead of copper was formed. THIS.
doubtless, led to the production OF
more beads, and from this by expert
ment to other kinds of ornaments.
With this stimulous to the arts and
crafts. hitherto confined to the use
Of stone and bone, there naturally
followed the production Of metal
tools and implements. and, most i'm
portant of all, weapons for the chase
and war.
