tons held by the Arkansas Federation
of Women's clubs at Pine Bluff this
week, the first prize for the best song
was awarded to Mary Rollins for her
song, Loves ldyle' Miss Rollins is
a totally blind student Of the School
for the blind. The music was written
during the vacation last summer. The
words were written by Mrs. W. A.
Rollins, her mother. That Miss Rol-
Inns won on the merit of her compost
ton and not because she was blind Is
evidenced by the fact that neither the
chairman of the music committee nor
the judges knew she was in any way
connected with the School for the
blind.
"Miss Rollins is the fourth individu-
al student to win first honors at the
hands of the federation in the past
three years. Each OF the four won
gold medals for the best original COM
position in music, and together the
four have won six medals. At the
state meeting of the schools and col
leges in Pine Bluff last spring, an
other member of the school. Bryan
Duncan, won first place in piano play

ELECTORAL VOTES
Of CALIFORNIA
ALL DEMOCRATIC
Wilson Supporters Can See
Nothing to Support Claim
Of Split Vote.

San Francisco. Nov. 11.-Analysis
by Democratic leaders today Of the
popular presidential vote in San Fran
cisco failed to give much encourage
ment to the claim of the Republican
state central committee that a split
electoral vote would result from
scratching of Democratic eelctors. In
this city the low Democratic eelctor,
Mrs. Carrie L. Tyler, received 1880
votes, only AL behind Francis J. Hen
ey, high, with 1921. If the same
ratio were maintained throughout the
state, it was said, Mrs. Tyler would be
approximately 2,466 votes behind the
head of her ticket. The present Dem
ocratic plurality, however, is 3,27S,
leaving the Republicans approximately
300 short of even one eelctor.
Eighteen precincts still were miss
ing early today from the state total
Of $3.50, with the possibility that the
unofficial state count would not be
complete before the official canvass,
which begins Monday.
Unofficial returns show both anti
liquor amendments decisively beaten,
although managers Of the dry cam
paign refuse to concede this yet.

CONSERVING SUGAR SUPPLY.

Correspondence Associated Press)
Petrograd, Oct. 21.-The population
of Petrograd will henceforth obtain
sugar by card or ticket. The allow
ance per person is fixed at three
pounds month.
Sugar has been very scarce for
nearly a year past, owing to disloca-
ton of Industrial activity and the vast
quantities issued to the army. The
newspapers asserted that much Of the
difficulty has been due to profiteerlng
manoeuvers by spectators, but this
allegation is discounted somewhat by
the fact that the price Of sugar has
not risen much

PLAN To COLONIES
EASTERN GREtNLAND
Danes Believe That Portion Of Green
land Can Be Made to Support
More ESkim0s.

Correspondence Associated Press)
Copenhagen, Denmark, Oct. 25. -
The Danish Greenland society, which
includes the prominent Danish Arctic
explorers, intends to launch a plan for
the colonization of uninhabited East
Greenland. West Greenland will soon
be over-populated, Danish North
Greenland already is well-peopled,
while in East Greenland the conditions
are considered good for supporting d
larger population of Eskimos.
Denmark previously has only had
nominal possession of the country and
other nations will hardly recognize
her supremacy unit la Danish station
has been established, the Danish flag
raised, and Danish inhabitants settled.
The announcement of Danish plans
to extend colonization in Greenland Is
Of some particular interest to the
United States because this country
may still claim ownershcp Of vast
tracts of that arctic land through dis
covefies which American explorers
have made. In negotiations still
pending between this country and Den
mark over the sale Of the Danish West
Indies to the United States for $685.
100000, enc condition to the sale is
the ralinquishing by this country of
all it's rights in Greenland. The land
discovered by Americans is mainly
along the northernmost coast, how
ever, in a region SO deeply covered
with snow and ice that it is doubtful
that it ever can be considered of eco
nomic value.

The announcement last week, that
the first prize for music had beer

Rollins not being known to any of the

Personality.

What q widespread and far-reachina
effect personality has in the affairs OF
men. We hear it given as wide d
range Of definition as there are kinds
of people. An agreeable personality
and vice versa; personality that is
stupid or intelligent; gracious or churl'
fish; overbearing or yielding self-willed
and Obvious of the rights of Others
or tolerant and reasonable; selfish OF
unselfish; conceited or modesti
thoughtful or unthinking; these and
many others are samples of vast va
riety of habits of mind and manner
from which every person may choose
as they desire. But every person
should remember that their personal
bearing toward their fellows has a
vast deal to do with their success in
life. We rise or fall very often ac'
cordlng to the estimate given to oui
personality by those about lis. What
is called "tact," which is but an abbre
Walton of the word contact, is the out
come of our personality. We mole
and shape our personality very much
by the amount OF contact we have with
our fellow DISQUALIFICATION County

Heioht of Me*eor2,

Meteors, or shoo:ing stars, are
small solid bodies that fall through
space, become incandescent in the at
mosphere of the earth and usually dis
appear in the form OF gas O. dust. II
two observers stationed several miles
apart see the same shooting star and
note the point in the sky where it ap
pearea they can construct hypo
thetical triangle, the apex of which is
the point of appearance of the meteor,
and thus obtain the approximate
height Of the shooting star when 1t
first became visible. For a long period
Of years, it appears, German observer
employed this method of estimating
the height Of shooting stars. From
careful observations of no less than
102 meteors he found that the mean
height at which shooting stars first be-
come visible is 81 miles. The mean
height Of the point at which they dis
appear is about SO miles, and the av.
erage length of their visible path 46
miles.
