Model Washington Homes
In Memory of Mrs. Wilson

Plans have just been completed for the
erection Of a series of model homes in the
city of Washington, to be known as the
Ellen Wilson homes, according to the pub
lie health department.
The intimate connection ebtween bad
housing and bad health and good housing
and good health is clearly recognized in
Washington, where the alley jewellers have
long been a matter of concern both to the
health authorities and to public-spirited
.citizens who wish the capital city to be an
example to the nation. The alleys have
been paved, sewers and water mains have
been laid in them, they are lighted and
cleaned as are the streets. Yet they keep
their old lead oyer the streets when it
comes to totaling the figures for disease
and death.
In this Washington's experience has
been like that of Liverpool and other Euro
pean cities WHICH tried unsuccessfully to
make badly situated dwellings wholesome
by cleaning anGg fumigating. After thirty
three years of unavailing effort to improve
that which was fundamentally bad, Liver
pool finally decided that the only hope lay
in wiping out It's insanitary areas 1t de
molished the old houses by the acre and in
place of them built new houses. Where
dwellings have ;been crowded 50 close to-
gether that they was scarcely passage
room for stout man to squeeze his way to
one of thes old rear houses, it build new
dwellings opening upon wide spaces which
provided light and air. Immediately sick
ness and death decreased-and with them
vice and crime, What had seemed a hope
less struggle for more than a generation
was won.

RIGHT Of WAY
COMMIT IS
READY To REPORT
GRANTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY
LAND OWNERS ALONG THE
ENTIRE ROUTE, EXCEPTING A
SHORT STRETCH.

With its work practically completed
the committee on right of way APP
pointed by the Highway to the Gulf
association, will render it's final re-
port probably next week.
Arrangements have been made
along the route for all the distance
except one short stretch, and this,
it is expected, will not prove him
drance as an agreement has been vir-
tually made opening up that part to
the road builders.
As pointed out by G. E. Dobson,
chairman Of the committee, the work
is a very extensive one, and requires
much time to accomplish. The COM
mittee must have an absolutely ac-
curate map Of the proposed road be-
fore anything definite can be done, for
in securing grants to the right Of way
extending for q width of one hundred
feet, the committee must have exact
knowledge of the land to be granted,
and sure that it is the necessary
stretch. After this is done the title
to the property must be Investigated,
and in doing his much time is con-
sumed.
The route has been blazed for prac-
tically the entire distance with the
exception of stretch of about mile
in length. Everything" said Mr..
Dobson yesterday, is in readiness
for the commissioners to go ahead
with the actual work of road builda
ing. We have had practically no
trouble and will soon be ready to re-
port"

CLANCY SEEKS TEN
ROUND BOUT IN CUBA
BOXER WILL GO TO HAVANA TO-
DAY, SAILING ON SCHOONER
CHARLEvOIX WITH CAPTAIN
ROBERTS.

When the British schooner Charlie
voix goes to sea about 10 o'clock this
morning a passenger viii be Bud
Clancy, the boxer who has pleased
so many fight fans at the Business
Mems Athletic club in his numerous
matches. Clancy, accompanied by his
manager, is going to Cuba, it was
explained, to take on ten to twenty
round bouts with boxers down there,
and said that he expects to give
good account of himself. He will
probably return to Pensacola within
the next month or six weeks.
At present the boxing game is a
popular one throughout Cuba, and
Captain Roberts Of the Charlevoix,
who has seen Clancy in action, be-
ieved that the Ianky fighter could
cover himself with glory on the island,
and has consented to take Clancy
aboard the schooner upon the present
voyage. Clancy's friends in Pensa-
cola will be waiting to hear of the
results of his numerous battles in
Cuba, and Clancy says that he will
take on as many ten to twenty-round
battles as he will be able to secure.

Hughes Will Probably Be
The Next Republican Nominee

There seems every reason to believe that
Justice Hughes will be the next Republi-
can nominee. The oracle has spoken. Col.
George Harvey, in recent issue of the
North American Review, comes out boldly
declaring that Hughes will be the next Re-
publican nominee Certainly does not look
propitious for Roosevelt or possible for
Root. Sherman, Cummins, Fairbanks and
Burton have their followers, but each day
sees these leaving the ranks and getting in
behind the Hughes contingent.
There seems to be no further danger of
an organized campaign to thrust Roosevelt
upon the Republican convention. In spite
of the hundred thousands of appeals sent
out to the old Roosevelt followers, they
are not lining up in solid phalanx behind
Teddy, by any means.
Strangely Roosevelt himself is silent.
In spite of the fact that he has been ac-
claimed, and has acclaimed himself, as the
most popular man in the country today,
his party is looking at him askance. The
Progressives are talking about third
party, and while the Republicans are talk
ing about Hughes, Roosevelt has stopped
talking and is getting his muscles in readi-
ness to WELD the big stick.

Gulf Highway
Would BRING
Visitors Here
When People Realize This
Fact They Will Unite
In Work.

Pensacola needs that Highway TO
the Gulf Beach, and when the people
realize the great benefits which it will
bring it will not take long to build
it." said George Emanuel yesterday
in speaking of the proposed highway.
"The only difficulty is in getting a
general action and interest in open
ing one of the finest resorts in the
country. 1t will be a great advertise
ment for the city, and will afford many
pleasures hitherto impossible because
it furnishes a gulf beach resort that
can be reached by land.
"For some water trip is most de-
sirable, for others it is an obstacle
in the way Of an afternoons enjoy
ment. 1t is those who find the latter
impossible that we must think of in
planning a general resort, for it must
be accessible to all before it can be-
come popular.
mot only will it be a pleasure fol-
US, but will attract strangers to the
city, many of whom go to other near
by points in motor cars when they
could as easily reach US. Every one
who comes must spend some money
while they are here. The winter
tourist season assumes that during
the winter months, but what of the
summer? With a means of booming
summer business at our doors il
would seem foolish to pass it by"

Opera House Tomorrow.

Opera House Tomorrow.
children of Eve" a five part pho
to drama with Viola Dana in the title
role, is to be shown as the leading
feature at the Opera House tomor-
row. That "the sins of the fathers
shall be visited upon the children" is
exemplified in a powerful manner,
emphasized with marvellous dramatic
force in this Edison masterpiece re-
leased through the Kleine- Edison
Feature Service.
Viola Dana as 'Fifty-fifty Mamie, I"
a notorious character, is seen. This and
many other thrilling scenes in this
photoplay make it a powerful, far
reaching argument, presenting a
question agitating the public mind
today, but doing so in a manner that
smacks nothing of sermon. The
tale carries it's own moral.
Tomorrow is surprise day, and it
will be a surprise that will be worth
seeing. The Opera House is laying
aside every Thursday throughout the
coming summer as surprise day, and
it will be well worth your time to
come to this theater on that day.
The Opera House this week has one
Of the best vaudeville bills that has
ever been to this house. Miss Blanche
Barron, who has very sweet voice,
and delivers her songs in such pleas
| ing manner, that it is a pleasure as
well as amusement to listen to her
singing. The Boyds in their comedy
military act. furnish enough fun to
make the variety of vaudeville stand
| out at its best.

Germany and Mexico Show
New Note In Their Relations

With the statement emanating from Ber-
lin that in the future German-American re-
lations probably may be looked to with less
apprehension, the people of the United
States have every reason to feel that the
main object has been attained by the Unit
ed States government.
The American note to Germany, the an
swer to which is being awaited with such
intense interest on both sides of the Allan
tic, brought to head the issue which has
been pending for more than year.
The country's preoccupation with the
German problem may have been of help
to the administration in handling the Mex
lean affair Certainly there has been much
skill displayed by both Lansing and Baker
in handling the two situations.
Both Germany and Mexico are treating
us with a respect that they have not prev
iously shown since the Lusitania catastro-
phe, and the unpleasantness at Vera Vruz.

FAVOR RAISE IN
 JUDGES SALARY

Just before adjournment late yes terday afternoon, the Faulkner coun- ty quorum court unanimously adopt ed a resolution favoring an increase in the salary of the county and pro- bate judge of Faulkner county to $2,O00 a year. The present salary is $1,000 a year, and as this is payabE in county scrip, worth from 50 to 65 cents on the dollar, it means very meagre compensation for position carrying with it the work and respon- abilities of county and probate judge. The levying court instructed the coun- ty clerk to certify copy of the reso- lution to the incoming representative, Dr. II. B. Hardy, and request that he secure the passage of legislative act changing the salary as stated. The increased salary would not take effect until after the expiration of Judge E.. L. Smiths first term, as the consti- tuition prohibits an increase or de- crease in the salary of an official dur ing the time for which he was elected.

ASSESSMENT IS
 8 THOUSAND LESS

An incorrect entry in the personal assessment books as returned by As sessor Austin Johnson, discovered by County Clerk J. A. Lea today, caused the clerk to make an erroneous re- port to the county levying court yes terday. In his estimate of the next years revenue, submitted as guide for making appropriations, Judge Lea reported that the assessment had in creased to over $4,000.000 thus giv- ing about $2,000 additional revenue to the county general fund Referring to the books again today, however, Judge Lea found that the assessor had by mistake included the valuation of railroad real estate in with the per sonal assessment of 1916, thus giving m apparent increase of $583.501 in the valuation of personal property over last year. After deducting this erroneous entry it was found that the personal valuations show slight decrease instead of an increase. The total for 1916 is $1,124,12O, as com pared with S1132,67O in 1915, de- crease of $8,550.
 The decrease m the city of Conway was about $43,000, but this was al most offset by increases in several of the rural townships.

HOGS ARE PROFITABLE
 DESPITE HIGH FEED
Corn Converted Into Pork Worth $1.70 Bushel, Says |. $. Expert
 ]. H. Mcleod.

Farmers who have plenty of for age and grain can we'll afford to in west their surplus money in hogs this fall. Money so invested will undoubt- edly yield greater returns than any other way in which the farmer can handle his money during the coming winter months. says J. II. Mcleod, animal husbandman with the agricul- tural extension division of the Uni versity of Arkansas and United States department of agriculture. In spite of the fact that corn is now bringing an exceptional price, tests recently finished at the Tennessee Experiment Station show that corn turned into pork is worth $1.75 per bushel provided such corn is fed with good forage Wherever possible, farmers should buy sows with pig at this time There is no danger of put ting too many head of hogs on our Arkansas farms and there is nothing that would yield greater returns if properly cared for.
 The farmer with average means will also find it a decided advantage to have his money invested in this class of live stock if it becomes nee essarY for him to recOnvert the ami mals into cash in order to take care of next years crop. At the same time, the increase viii be surprising.
