Washington, August 31.-(Special.) )-Sen- ator Underwood scored notable triumph when the finance committee of the Senate agreed to strike from the revenue bill that section which would have demanded for government eoffers per cent of the profit gained by producers of cotton which has and will have entered into the manufacture of war munitions.
 Senator Underwood, on account of his fight against section and his subsequent clashes with Senator Stone, Senator Sim mons and others. has palpably scored. For his stand for told d-fashioned'' democ- racy. eastern editorial comment is, In the main, complimentary.
 COTTON TAX EFFORT
 It was in democratic caucus that Sem ator Underwood initiated his fight against the cotton tax. He took the position, in the first place, that cotton should not bear a special tax when all other agricultural products are free of taxation. He argued, further. that while all other agricultural products. on ac- count of the European war, had made eASiA pAouuSciS iiSn, cottoA, udSlnS pec1 declared contraband. had not filled the coffers of it's producers.
 His argument melted Senator Stone to bitter controversy. The Missourian de- clared that the south was endeavoring to escape its share of the burden of taxa tion Senator Underwood. retorted in kind. and when Senator Simmons. him self southerner interposed acrid ob-

nMENSE FIELDS OF LAVA

 in the World.

The valley of the ancient Snake Ter in Idaho was flooded with great tpourings of black lava, which read out sheet on sheet, buried the | land surface and partly filled the
 Hey with molten rock, which solidi- Id and remained to this day undis- ,rbed except for the gorges that the
 cams have cut in it. In some places
 mountains project through the pet led lava flood as islands project sOye the surface of the sea, and old . o,yes stick out into it as capes and pymontories. The area covered by ts Snake river lava is about 10000
 lare miles. So far as is now known,
 Ire is but one lava field in North alerica of greater extent, the Colum
 river lava field, which covers about
 1000 square miles. In Snake River

Howard Chandler Christy, illustra- tor, was walking down the street when he was overtaken by dog that began to snap at his heels. Its mistress made no effort to call it off, so he turned and gave the dog an admonitory kick.
 "Brute!" cried the woman, "to kick a little defenseless animal! That lit tie creature is a pet and is not accus- toned to such theatment."
 "I beg your pardon, madam" re- piled MT. Christy. T do not mean to hurt your dog. Bnt you should. ald. have called him off,
 "He would not have hurt you," re- piled the woman in a grieved tone. "He is a pet"

The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Ar lansas has announced the adoption of new curriculum for the degree Of bachelor of arts. The new course is the result of an extensive study of the entire question made by a committee of the faculty and lasting for year effect at the beginning of the college year 1916-1917
 The important points that differen tiate the new curriculum from the one. it displaces are the elimination of re- quired work and greater concentration of effort. The only required study will be one year of English. The com bined high school and college course must include at least four years or foreign languages. Each student must have a major subject and practically one-fourth of his time in the entire college course must be devoted to that subject.
 The subjects taught in the college are divided into three groups: first, languages; second, social sciences; third natural sciences, and the stu dent must take a certain amount of work from each group. A fourth group comprises work done In the professional and technical schools and the student is permitted to offer a small amount of work from this group.
 A new departure is the decision to have all elementary courses in foreign languages and the natural sciences taught five hours a week, but with a credit of only four hours. These SUD- jects are taken principally by fresh men and it is the belief of the faculty that this class of students needs a larger amount of classroom drill. In all such courses the lessons assigned and the ground covered in a recita- tion will be less than in those courses where each hour of recitation counts an hour of credit. Many high school students find great difficulty in pass ing their work during the first year In college. It is believed that the intro duction of these new courses in Ian guages and sciences will make it pos sible for freshman students to do bet ter work.

you wish, and I will take pleasure in answering any inquiries"
 Vick's Vap-O-Rub is the invention of North Carolina druggist. He found how to combine Menthol and Camphor with the volatile oils of Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs and Juniper in salve form, so that, when Vap-O-Rub is ap- piled externally, the body heat re- leases the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors are inhaled with every breath, through the air passages, to the lungs, loosening the phlegm, and, in addition, Vick's is ab- sorbed through the skin, taking out the tightness and soreness. This double action makes Vap-O-Rub useful for a wide range of troubles. From intiammations of the air passages, such as head colds, catarrh, asthma, sore throat, bronchitis or deep chest colds, down to infammations of the skin and tissues, such as burns, bruises, stings, piles and itchings We particularly recommend it for mothers with small children, as it can be used freely, with perfect safety, on the youngest member of the family Three sizes, 25c, soc or $1OO.

Mrs. Ida Ford lives in Cuba, Mo, and not on the Island of Cuba, and her discovery is one that many other Mis- souri mothers have made since Vick's Vap-O-Rub was introduced here from the South last winter. And this dis covery is simply this:-that it is no longer necessary to disturb the deli cate little stomachs of the kiddies in treating cold troubles. But let Mrs. Ford speak for herself.
 T have tested Vap-O-Rub three times on my little boy four years old for croup, and can say I have never used a medicine of greater value for this trouble. It acted almost imme- diately. My boy is subject to croup and 1 have used almost every kind of medicine one could buy for it, but it was always about three days and nights before I could get it checked. Vick's Vap-O-Rub acted almost imme- diately. You may use this letter if
