Many NeedIessIy Blind.

unlike any other state, Arkansas mas no society or organization whose sole mission is to deal with this inn portant question, but Superintendent John H. Hinemon of the School for the Blind is using his utmost efforts to arouse interest and awaken activi- ty in this question which means so much to unborn children of the state. There are many persons in Arkansas today totally and helplessly blind for life, who with attention at the proper time would have been endowed with Int priceless blessing of normal sight Many more are partly blind for the same reason. Every parent and every friend of his race is urged to join in the propaganda to prevent needless blindness.

Floor Plan.

then, for the architect to find the prop CT combination of all the possibilities which exist, in order to match the pie ture formed as an image in the mind of the home-builder.
 One of the styles which have been established in bungalow design, and one which makes strong appeal to great many people, is the rustic type. This type embodies the infusion of the architecture of nature into the archi- lecture of man. It implies the use of some natural building material applied in such a way that the suggestion of the big out-of-doors surrounds the home. The purpose is absolutely de feated if such house is built on 8 narrow lot. A wide lot upon which sufficient time and effort have been spent to adapt it to the house is neces- sary for the full realization of the ad- vantages of this design. Shrubs, vines, trees and flower beds must be placed with care and selected with a pur- pose to harmonize with the color scheme of the bungalow. The rustic bungalow is scen in it's most appro- priate frame when it is placed on a small country estate where the natural growth of trees may be taken advan- tage of in laying out the lawn.

iustration is an attractive example of found . happy combination of details in this Resign and the result is shown in both the exterior appearance and in the arrangement of rooms. Large cob blestone pillars give the front of the house unique appearance. The chim- hey carries out the idea very effec- lively. The low roof is combined hip and gable type with exposed sup ports, well adapted to this type of house. The pergola effect of the porch, with the pleasing decorative ends of the timbers carried through the de- sign, even to the decoration placed on the short column at the corner of the house, adds great deal to the general attractiveness of the little home. The gable is decorated with wide boards or siding strips which have a decora- tive design cut in each board. Many details of finish have been worked out in way which gives this little rustic bungalow an appearance rather diff ferent from the ordinary.
 In the room arrangement and atten- tion to interior details the same thor oughness has been observed. The liv- ing room is entered from the front porch. This room has large fireplace, fanked with bookcases, built along the side wall. The fireplace may be made in any way which is suited to the style of finish that is decided upon for this room. A very striking and artistic effect may be secured by build ing the fireplace of cobblestones such as are used in the construction of the exterior chimney and pillars at the front of the house. The combination of the living room with the little den is very attractive arrangement. If the den is to be used at times as a spare bedroom sliding door may be built between it and the living room. It will, of course, be more attractive with just cased opening between the two rooms. The many windows in this little nook will make it like a sun parlor and consequently a part of the house which will, perhaps. be used more than any other.
 The dining room is front room open to the living room. The buffet is built against the wall opposite the

GOVERNOR, SECRETARY OF STATE, ATTORNEY GENERAL
 DECIDE AFTER CONFERENCE.
FIVE OFFICERS EXPECTED
1t is Said If Law is Not Repealed II Probably Will Be Amended By Fixing Date When Officers
 Shall Take Office.
 Little Rock.

Little Rock
 All county, district and state off cers, except the five constitutional state officers, elected at the general election November 2 will take the oath of office November S0 accord ing to a decision reached at confer ence between Secretary of State Earle w Hodges, Governor Hays and At torney General Wallace Davis. For merly the new officers assumed office October 31 When the consolidation of elections law passed, by the last legislature, moved the date of tSe election up two months. MT. Hodges announced he would issue the com missions to officers dated December 31 or January l.
 MT. Hodges discovered that 1t would be impossible to commission county collectors later than December 1 be- cause section 7042 of Kirbys Digest provides that collectors shall file their bond and have it approved not later than the first Monday in December. or their offices shall be declared va- cant The conference was then called resulting in a decision to have all officers take office November 30.
 The five constitutional state officers are not affected by the decision are the governor, attorney general, secre- tary of state, state auditor and state treasurer. The constitution provides they shall take office when the legis- lature meets. This is in January.
 It is probable several changes in the consolidation of elections law will be sought in the next legislature. Several members have said they will introduce bills to repeal the law. If the law is not repealed 1t probably will be amended by fixing date when officers shall take office and have oth- CT changes made in it. AS it was passed no date was fixed and the mat ter was left to the secretary of state, who is authorized by law to issue and date the commissions the officers re- ceive. The law was fought through the last Senate and had considerable opposition in the house.

LIQUOR DEALERS
 MUST SERVE TERMS
SUPREME COURT AFFlRMs THREE CONVICTIONS FOR ILLEGAL
 LIQUOR SALES.
CITATIONS FOR CONTEMPT
R. R. Adams, Former State Senator, Owner and Publisher of the Benton New Era, and B. Faisst, Lum-
 herman, Are Accused.

Little Rock
 The supreme court affirmed three of the cases against the convicted Hot Springs liquor dealers and reversed one.
 The men whose cases were affirm ed were: M. Del Sasso, Vince Gage, w c. Herman, Louis Asbahr and Tom Jordan
 Del Sasso and Gage, before the statewide prohibition law became op- erative, were partners in saloon at the intersection of Chapel and Gen. tral streets in Hot Springs, while Her man and Asbahr were partners in an establishment at Central and Spring streets. Jordan was bartender for Herman & Asbahr.
 When the statewide law became op- erative the two saloons ostensibly be- came soft drink stands. However, according to testimony introduced in the trial, orders for soft drinks, if accompanied by the proper sign ana the proper Identification, were filled with liquids containing the proper kick. Various pleas were entered by the men in efforts to dodge convte- ton under the statewide law.
 Jordan was more fortunate than his five companions. The court held that errors in his trial warranted a re new trial.
 R. R. Adams, fomer state senator and owner and publisher of the Ben ton New Era, published at Benton, Saline county, and B. Faisst, lum- herman of Benton, were cited to ap- pear in the supreme court next Mon- day to face contempt proceedings. The order was issued by B. A. Nc Culloeh, chief justice.
 In a recent issue of the New Era there was an article signed by Faisst, attacking President Wilson, the Unit ed States Supreme Court and the Ar kansas Supreme Couort, essaying that the Arkansas Supreme Court was cor rupt, and that a recent decision of the court was anarchy pure and sim pie"
 Faisst was the principal in suit in which the Fourche River Lumber Company was involved. The decision was unfavorable to Faisst, and re- suited, it was said, in considerable monetary loss to him. The suit was based on the right to haul lumber at a given price over railroad owned by the lumber company.

opening of the living room and may bo seen from the other side of the house. A double-acting door leads to the kitchen. This room is square, we'll lighted and pleasant. It is equipped with cupboards and sink; the rear entry and pantry form two annex rooms which may be used to help very materially in performing the tasks as- sociated with this part of the house.
 A hall extends back from the living room through the center of the house. A closet, the pantry, the cellar stairs, the bathroom, two bedrooms and the sleeping porch all may be entered from this hall. The sleeping porch is a feature in home construction which is becoming more popular all the time. Many people who live in older houses feel that the sleeping porch is one of the modern fads which will soon disap- pear, but anyone who has lived in a in it's room arrangement will not con- slider house which does not include one in its design. It cannot be disput- ed that an abundance of good fresh air is an absolute necessity to rest ful slumber. There are seven large windows in the sleeping porch at the rear of this rustic bungalow, and this assures condition as near the limit of real out-of-doors as it is necessary to come.
 The interior is entirely in keeping with modern ideas in home design. Convenience and comfort have been the strong outstanding factors in the design, and worked in with these is the effort to make this house as health full home as it is possible to pro- vide, from the standpoint of the ar. chitect. At the same time a lucky combination of details has rendered it very attractive from an artistic stand point.

In the bungalow, more than in any other type of house, there is the pos sibility of producing effects which will meet the desire of person whose mind Is definitely set upon some novel fea- ture which is to predominate through out the scheme of architecture em- ployed in the house design. There is such an endless array of little tricks which may be brought into play for the purpose of establishing distinctive ness in each particular bungalow de- sign that it is radical mind which cannot find satisfaction in one of the many combinations of details which are at the disposal of the designer.
 Since the designer of bungalows is not hampered, in the true type, by the necessity of tucking rooms under the roof or of providing large attic space

--since the old-fashioned attic seems to be dying a slow but certain death In almost any type of house design the roof may be used to express any one of a number of ideas. The funda- mental hip and gable types may be variously modified and combined with one another and with several types of formers. A number of roofing mate rials offer further variation in ap- pearance.
 A great variety of building ma terials are open for selection. The walls of the house may be given many pleasing finishing touches both in color and character of surface. It remains,
