WILDCAT GAS WELL
 IS TRUE TO NAME EFFORTS TO CAP IT FAIL ESTIMATED NEW WELL IN KIB- LER FIELD IS PRODUCING
 30 MILLION FEET.

Van Buren, March 24.-The Wild cat gas we'll brought in last Sunday morning in the Kibler field appears to be growing stronger all the time and so far baffied all efforts to pack it.
 When brought in, the we'll register ed 21,0OO,O00 feet and it was thought that during the rst A hours it would blow out sufficiently to reduce the flow below 20,000,OOO but is appears that the we'll has been increasing until the 25,000,000 foot Robinson cone packer is insufficient and can- not be placed in the well to depth sufficient to do any good.
 Anxious to subdue the unruly we'll, they have wired for Mir. Robinson, the inventor of the packer to come down from Coffeyville and help muz- zle the we'll that is now believed to be producing 30,000,00O feet of gas each day. The officers and stock holders of the company have been spending much of their time at the big gasser and are particularly anx- lous to get is capped that they may conserve the enormous amount of gas that is now being wasted

W CONSTITUTION
 10 BOB UP AGAIN IN NEXT LEGISLATURE
MOVE ALREADY ON FOOT FOR REVISION OF STATES FUN
 DAMENTAL LAW.

Little Rock, March 24-One of the most important questions that con- fronts the next session of the Arkan- sas legislature will be the proposition of submitting an amendment to the constitution providing for a new or ganlc law The lower house of the last legislature passed by practically unanimous vote joint resolution submitted by Representative Yerger of Chicot county calling a convention to frame new constitution. The measure was defeated in the senate because majority of the senators thought that the matter should have been submitted to the people for a vote, instead of calling a convention direct.
 For more than 16 years every leg lslature that has convened in Little Rock has grappled with the subject, and TOT some time past it has been a settled fact in the minds of many leaders that the people were ready to support measure that would give 'AiS SeoeC c SOllStilullOn more modern than the one drafted in 1874. While many prominent men are openly ad- Vocatlng new constitution, quite a number say that the present is not the time for movement of that inn portance. Efforts were made a few weeks ago to initiate a measure seek ing a new constitution, but the lead CTS Of the movement discovered that It could not be done this year because the last legislature had already sub- mltted three amendments, which is all that can be laid before the people at any one election. Many advocates of the new constitutional movement base their action upon the fact that under the present law no bonds can be issued for public improvements. Every effort-and several have been made during the past few years-to adopted bond issue amendment has met with failure. The amendment on two different occasions received a ma Jorlty of the votes cast on that par ticular subject, but failed to receive a majority of all the votes cast at the election.

ORDERS SRfCRUIT
 OF STATE GUARD FULL STRENGTH DESIRED
ADJUTANT GENERAL TAKES STEPS TOWARD PREPARED
 NESS IN ARKANSAS.

Little Rock, March 24-Warfare IS not believed to be imminent, but preparedness is the accepted motto of the military thorugh all branches of the service.
 This is even extending to the Ar kansas National Guard, as an order has just been issued by Adjutant- General Lloyd England, that all company commanders immediately designate a recruiting officer for their respective organization, in order that all units be recruited up to their maximum strength, with the least possible delay"
 It is also directed that recruiting officers will accept no one unless they are of the prescribed standard physi- cally and mentally, of good moral character, citizen of the United States, or who have declared their intention to do so, and who can read and write the English language
 The authorized strength of the guard is 65 men to the company making the total strength of the two regiments a little more than 1900 men and officers. But several com panies are considerably short, and it is the desire to recruit these to the full strength of 65 each. The war strength is 150 each.
 General England also issued an or der as follows: "In order that there may be an available list of officers of the National Guard of this state who desire to take a course in aviation, and who upon completion thereof de- sire to join the proposed aviation sec tion of the National Guard Of this state, the adjutant general requests that applications for this course be submitted to this office with the least delay practicable"

A STRING OF PEARLS.

There is strange story told of an old lady In Germany, the an cestor of one of the nobility of Eng land, who was the possesSor of q most beautiful and valuable pearl necklace When the old lady died sine desired that the pearl necklace be buried with her Now the fami- ly were very sorry to part with the family jewels. In time their grief for the old lady was assuaged, but their grief for the pearl necklace was never assuaged at all, and at last there came moment when they dug up the coffin and took the pearl necklace from the aged neck But, behold, the pearls were quite spoiled, and had lost all their lustre and beauty. Then pearl doc tors were summoned, men who were learned in such things, and they said that the only thing which would restore the beauty of the pearls would be if three beautiful young ladies would wear them con stantly, and let the pearls drink in all their youth and beauty. So the eldest daughter of the house took them and wore them constantly, and all the beauty and brilliancy of her loveliness flowed into the pearls. which grew brighter and better ev cry day And as her beauty faded another daughter of the house took them. and so three beautiful young ladies took them and wore them in three generations, till, when sixty years were passed, the pearls were so beautiful and glorious and so filled with youth and radiancy, that there was no such pearl necklace in the whole world.
 There is another story told of the wonderful pearl necklace belonging families of Europe which is hanging in a cage in the waters of the Adri- attic sea in order that the salt in the water may restore the pearls to their original beauty. The process is expected to take thirty years, and they are regularly examined by an expert This is the way the story runs, but we cannot vouch for it's accuracy.

 My high stool has reduced the fatigue of my housework to won derful degree. My advice to any woman who has to do her own house work is to get one quickly. They are inexpensive. yet worth their weight in gold as savers of strength" ," Bronx News

MEERSCHAUM, AND
 HOW IT TAKES COLOR.


 Meerschaum, out of which pipes, cigar and cigarette holders are cut, is mineral found in irregular rounded Jumps scattered through drift material washed down from the mountains. The largest deposit of it is in the plains of Eskishehr, Asia Minor
 The Scientific American says it is hydrous silicate of magnesia. Meerschaum is prized for the rich brown color it takes after being smoked a while. The color is caus- ed by the mixture of the nicotine Cor oil of tobacco) from the tobacco with the wax used in polishing the pipe, permeating through the ma terial The color deepens as long as there is wax in the meerschaum When a pipe has become dark enough it Is customary to fix the color by boiling" This is secret process the general principle of which is removal of the wax and boiling in linseed oil.

 "As soon as warm weather arrives frost appears on the walls of the shaft and soon tiny icicles form rapidly. until in the warmest weath- CT ruge icicles, often too feet thick, reach from the top to the bottom of the mine"
 Geologists can offer no explana- tion The mine owner built a shed over the mine, but had to tear 1t down because as soon as the suns rays were cut off the ice melted. It's normal thaw sets in in October

FOR BURNS.

For slight burns put the injured part instantly in cold water, or cover it with moistened baking soda, and then with a wet cloth. When the skin is destroyed the point to be attained is to exclude the air. Do this by covering the burn with sweet oil, vaseline, linseed oil car ren oil, lard or with flour spread thickly on linen cloth or on cotton batting.
 An excellent covering for burnt surfaces is made by mixing common whiting (used in kitchens for pol ishing purposes) with sweet oil or cottonseed oil, or even water, to a thick paste. With this the burn Is carefully covered by means of a feather taking care not to break the blister; then the whole part is covered with cotton cloth and kept clean and moist.

 HOW YOU SHOULD MAKE BABY'S BED.
, Q c 6 c c Q . Q (, . . q (

Baby's first bed may be made from an ordinary clothes basket or from a light box, such as an orange | crate. Later. a metal crib with q firm spring is desirable
 Table padding or silence" cloth folded to four thicknesses, makes a very good mattress, because it is readily washable. When washed it should be hung out of doors to dry. A sanitary crib mattress may be made by stuffing bed ticking with excelsior, which can be re newed as often as necessary Phag- mum moss, or straw, can be used in the same way
 The mattress cover may be made of bed ticking or heavy unbleached muslin, which can be emptied wash ed and dried in the sun at intervals. In case excelsior or straw is used for the temporary filling, 1t should be made as level and smooth aa possible and a piece of soft felting or small comfort should always be placed over the mattress to soften the rough surface
 AS the baby grows older an ordi- nary mattress of hair, felt or col ton may be used. but 1t should be protected by oilcloth, rubber sheeting CT absorbent paper as an additional precaution. Since a rubber or oil cloth sheet is both hard and cold, soft pad should always be used underneath the baby. Table felting makes excellent pads
 A baby will breathe more easily and take a larger supply of air into the lungs if no pillow is used If the mother desires. she may place a clean folded napkin or some other clean soft cloth under the baby's head but 1t should not be allowed to elevate the head appreciably Toward the end of the second year thin halr pillow may be used Feather or down pillows are unduly heating to the child's head
 To make the baby's bed when metal crib is in use, cover the mat tress with oilcloth or soft rubber sheeting, to each corner of which d strong tape has been sewed Tie these tapes together under the mattress to hold the rubber smooth of desired the rubber cover may be made like a pillow case, covering place the cotton pad, then cover the mattress entirely, Over this with a small sheet, which should be tucked under the mattress on all four sides so that the bed is per fectly smooth.
