TO SUPREME COURT
 TO GET PAY FROM AUDITOR

A. NJ. Lund, assistant engineer in charge of a highway district in Pike county, working under the State Highway Department, has filed in Su- preme Court an appeal of his suit to force the State Auditor to pay his fees. This is a test case similar to that carried to the Supreme Court by the Attorney General in the Game and Fish Commission, only the decision m the case was exactly opposite.
 There are funds to the credit of the Highway Commission for the payment of such claims as that of Engineer Lund, but the legislature made an in- sufficient appropriation. The amount appropriated has been expended and unless the funds on hand can be util- ized, much work must be stopped.
 The case was tried in Pulaski cir cuit court, as was also the Game and Fish Commission case.

Little Rock, June 13.-At the clos ing exercises of the University Of Arkansas recently an unusual event occurred, the full significance of which apparently escaped the keen witted correspondents who reported the exercises. The degree of LLD was conferred upon State Superin- tendent of Public Instruction George B. Cook and Dean R. II. Miller, head of the Department of Education of the University of Missouri The be- stowal of this degree is an honor high ly coveted by public men and is a mark of distinguished ability. The ceremony, which was very impressive took place in the University chapel This is the first time the degree has been conferred at Fayetteville since George B. Rose of Little Rock was honored some years ago.

Never lie to YOUR child.
Jpon.
When you lie and the child realizes it, you have created a sense
of diIrust, and that means that you have fallen greatly i'll the chids
estimation.
He has not the same degree of confidence he had before he found
ut that he must not believe everything that you say.
Naturally he thinks that if it is not wrong for you to lie it is not
wrong for him to 90 likewise, and the bad seed is sown-the seed OF
unruth.
The seed of untruth grows rapidly.
1t expands in many ways.
1t is a difficult task to break their holdings.
There are some parents who hide behind the distinction between a
lie and a falsehood. But the child cannot distinguish the difference.
With him a untruth is a lie. SO be careful of your statements,
whether intentional or otherwise, don't Il any risks, but keep fath

The quietest place in the world is not to be found in the isolated
desert in the islands OF the ocean, at the summit OF a lofty noun
tain; but, curiousy enough, in a town in the Netherlands not very dis
tant from the present war zone. This quiet place is a room in Utrecht
designed for scientific research and built especially to avoid vibration.
Professor Zwaardemaker, a welLknown Dutch physicist and physl
ologist, had it built. An attempt to construct a noIse-proof room had
been made once before by Professor Wandt i'll Leipzig. but that W
not entirely successful
The mean that Professor Zwaardemaker used are worthy to be re-
corded. In the first place he built three rooms. II inside OF another;

ties for reducing the quantity of air between the walls. The interior
walls of the rooms were covered with several layers of material; one

tween the stones we're filled with horsehaT: next to the stones were
placed layers OF wood and cork. The other coverings we're layers OF
