NORMAL fNROLLS
 6I9 IN ONE YEAR RECORD AGAIN BROKEN Net Attendance of School is 594 for Past Year, 90 Greater than
 Previous Record.

In compiling data for the annual catalogue of the Arkansas State Nor nal School today it was ascertained that the aggregate enrolment of the 1915 summer session and the 1916-16 regular session of the institution reached 619, exceeding by 90 the en- rollment of the 1914-15 sessions.
 The eighth session of the Normal is now nearing close and each ses- sion has shown a considerable in- crease in enrolment over the preced- ing session.
 The enrolment Of the regular ses- sion this year lacked just two of reaching the coveted 400-mark, all though the prediction made last fall by President J. J. Doyne that 375 would be enrolled, has been consider ably exceeded. In addition to the 39S enrolled in the regular session, 221 were enrolled at the eight weeks summer session last year, making a total of 619. In this number, how ever, 25 names were repeated, being those of students who attended both summer and regular sessions, bring ing the net total enrolment to 594.
 Although young in years, the Ar kansas Normal is rapidly taking rank sone of the foremost institutions of it's character in the south. With ade- quate buildings it is believed the pres ent enrolment could easily be doub- led. While the greatest need need is for recitation halls, which are now overcrowded, there is almost an equal demand for dormitory accommoda- tions. The male students have no dormitory and there is but one build- ing for girls from which scores of applicants are turned away each session.

WOQOMAN CIRCLE
 SUED FOR SI,333

The con- plaint states the deceased was mem Der in good standing of the order since July IA, 1913, and that she died July l5, 1915.

This, the complaint alleges, the defendant organization has re- fused to do, and judgment is asked for sum named, together with 12 per cent penalty and attorneys fees. w. H. Duncan and George Shaw of Con- way and Jos. T. Rogers of Clinton are attorneys for the plaintiff.

SECTION HANDS
 STILL ON STRIKE EXTRA GANG GETS SOME Strikers Resent Action of Those Who Return to Work on Railroad
 Construction.

With the section hands holding firm for an advance to 15 cents an hour and no raise forthcoming from Iron Mountain railroad officials since the proffer of 14 cents an hour made yesterday, the strike on the central division of the Iron Mountain rail- road is unchanged today. Persons in touch with the situation, however, be- lleve the strike will be settled by the first of next week.
 A considerable number of the strikers today accepted employment on the "extra gangs" now at work reballasting and widening the road bed. The pay on this job is l5 cents per hour, but the strikers who are re- maining idle are said to have re- sented this action and even threaten ed violence to the men who have re- turned to work. The regular section gangs, however, are entirely idle.
 A great scarcity of labor is said to exist through this section of the state, due to the opening up of farm work, the increased activity in build ing operations and the great amount of gas and oil drilling in progress in this state and Oklahoma.
 Little Rock, May 19-The section mems strike On the Central division will not interfere with the operation of the road, and that the work will be done by other extra gangs if neces- sary, according to J. w. Dean, gen eral superintendent of the Iron Moun- tain, who returned last night from West Memphis.
 q haven't yet decided what to do as l haven't had full reports of the conditions from Superintendent c. B. Wildman," said MT. Dean. "The strike will not handicap us any, as we have several extra gangs that can take care of the work.
 Ut is merely an individual strike, as the section hands have no union, and is just simply result of the de- mand for labor. Whenever it is hard to get labor the section hands want more pay, but when labor is plenti- full the pay is less. The demand for labor in the Oklahoma oil fields is the cause of the demand for labor here."

SOLVING ROAD PROBLEM

Forty-eight counties in West Nir-
gina employed convicts in building
and repairing roads during the year
ending June 1915. The Hon. A. D.
Williams, director of the state high
way department of West Virginia, has
forwarded to the national committee
on prisons pictures which show the
remarkable accomplishment OF these
county prisoners, An honor prisoner
is shown in one picture standing be-
side a wall that he erected in Kama
wha county at cost OF only $l15
per cubic yard.
The pictures also show prison
camp half mile below Kimball, with
a portable Jail in the center and a
prisoner driving; also prisoners open.

country road two miles above Welch
along the Tug river, which the pris'
oners cut through a solid cliff.
The national committee on prisons
has published some Of the West Vir
ginia road pictures in an illustrated
pamphlet just issued. The pamphlet
takes up the various phases of prison
work which the committee is carry
ing on. The West Virginia road work
is the result of legislation prepared by
the national committee on prisons
and is successful because of the co
ordination of the state highway anC
prison departments, which the com
mittee holds essential to the right de
velopment of convict road work.

WHISPERS

Irwin S. Cobb, the eminent writer
whose pen descriptions make count
less thousands laugh, in one Of hts
stories draws a picture of the Did
family doctor.
He says that the old doc had a
mat of alfalfa that was a marvel, and
that all he needed was pump gun
and a few decOys to make first-class
human duck blind.
Whiakers have been IN fashion
among certain politicians for years,
and it is now strongly suspected that
the said parties may have use for
them. Ham Lewis has made a big
reputation on his whiskors alone
combined with the art Of 'jollying"
the newspaper reporters.
To be sure. whiskers have their
drawbacks. "The smile ;nat won't
come Off" may not be observed " "here
one has to penetrate through the lace
curtains, and many a bill of fare Las
been given away by a iuXuriant crop
of the face grass. In some sections
the papers may say that eggs are not
served in fashionable circles, but you
only have to size up the whskered
element at 9 a. m. to prove that the
statement is simply a reporters
dream.
And now we have real live re

dent. hOweyer-who sports nice,

right in a way, and very useful in a
rough and tumble scrap, whiskers
alone cannot pull candidate into the
presidential chair. - neither will
sounds coming from beneath the tim
othy in regard to the shortcomings of
the Wilson administration get the said
candidate anywhere.
SO far, the whiskers as scare
head have been failure. Better t:y
else.
