WHY LADIES USE
 ELECTRIC. IRON
 TO CURL HAIR?
Mrs. w. l.. Pendergrass Is Awarded Prize for Giving
 the Best Answer.

Mrs. w. l.. Pendergrass, of 1110 West Twenty-third avenue, was yesterday awarded the prize at the electric show, for giving the best an- swer to the question asked Wednes- ing as follows:
 "Why do I use or want an electric curling iron?"
 Because the electric curling iron is superior to others in convenience cleanliness and results"
 There was another very large at- tendance at the electric show yester- day, despite Ounter-attractiOns, and last evening the members of the state press association spent an hour or more at the show, in body, seeing the latest things in the electric ap- paratus world, and enjoying delica- cies prepared by Miss Irene Bassett on the electric range, and served by the bevy of charming local society girls.
 That the show is proving success is indicated not alone by the large crowds that are in attendance each afternoon and night, to keep the demonstrators busy explaining the scores of apparatus, but also by the number of orders being received by local distributors for these same articles. The statement was made yesterday by one of the demonstrat ors that Pine Bluff people appear to have fully adopted the Do It Elec- trically" slogan, judging by the num- Der of electrical articles which have been purchased since the show open oN

GIVES SIOO,0O0 ID HELP WAR ON
 WHITE PLAGUE
Insurance Go. Finances Ex- pertinent to Prove Disease
 Can Be Controlled.

Washington, D.. C., May H. An $100,O00 to the National association for the Study and Prevention of Tu- berculosis by Dr. E. R. Baldwin, president of that body, at it's opening session today. The gift is from the Metropolitan Life Insurance com pany and is given for the purpose of demonstrating by a community ex- pertinent for three years that tuber- culosis can be controlled just the same as any other infectious disease if right methods and adequate re- sources are available. It is planned to select town or city of about D. 0Cc inhabitants, probably in New York or Massachusetts, and to apply there all of the knowledge on the treatment and prevention of tubercu- losis available, with a view to the ultimate eradication of the disease. If the national association can dem- onstrate that tuberculosis can be con- trolled in one community. it will start a campaign to apply this knowledge to every city and town in the United States.
 Dr. Baldwin also emphasized the most significant developments in the anti-tuberculosis field during the past year.
 "In our educational campaign" he said, Eve are. applying more intensive methods of group education in schools, churches, lodges, labor un- ions and even among physicians and nurses.
 Great Progress in 1915.
 "The last year has also witnessed some insignificant administrative de- velopments The decided movement in the direction of standardization of methods of work is highly commend able. The interest taken in the in- terstate or federal relation to the tu- berculosis problem is most signifi- cant. Research, both into the medical and social causes of tuberculosis, is being emphasized anew. The nation al association must answer many im- portant questions before it can go much farther with it's work. More research is needed to do this. It is gratifying to note the ever-increasing amount of money being spent in the anti-tuberculosis campaign. In 1905 hardly more than $5,00O,00O was spent in tuberculosis work, mostly for treatment. Tn 1915 over $22, 2,50O, ,OOO was expended From 1905 the per centage of public funds expended in tuberculosis has increased from 9 to 65 per cent, indicating that the communities are more and more real izing their responsibility in the con trol of tubercilfosis.''
 Dr. Charles J. Hatfield executive secretary of the association. reported new organization in almost every part of the country and an increase of more than 3,50oN in the number of agencies engaged in the anti-tuber culosis fight. The death rate in the larger cities has shown a decline dur ing the last ten years-in some of them more than 30 per cent, and on an average of 20 per cent.
 The Red Cross Christmas seal sale for 1915 reached a total of S0,000,0O0 seals sold, bringing ill gross reve- nue to the anti-tuberculosis move ment of nearly $800,000.

NEGRO SLAYER WHO BURIED VICTIM
 GETS FIVE YEARS
Reynolds Victim Groaned While Being Dragged to
 Grave, Said Witness,

Nose Reynolds. negro. who killed Nathan Hill, another negro. ont the Trulock place about two months ago, vas convicted of voluntary man slaughter and sentenced to five years in prison by a jury in tEe circuit court yesterday J. w. Murphy was fore man. The verdict was returned at S:.j las night. The jury had de- liberated since APO.
 The testimony of a negro who ad- mitted he had aided in burying Hill indicated that the victim was buried alive. He said that when thsy were dragging him to the field, he groaned."
 The murder of Hill was not dis covered until several weeks after the crime. The disappearance of the negro caused some comment among the colored people on the place. but nothing was suspected until Reynolds quietly removed The officers got wind of the two circumstances, and Deputy Sheriff J. L. McBurnett picked Reynolds up here about a month ago. The neg.o's wife was also taken into custody. Under ques- tioning by Chief of Police Stewart Reynolds broke down and told of the killing, while his wife made dis closures to Deputy McBurnett and Sherif R. H. Williams.
 Visiting the Trulock place. the of- ficers unsarthed the body of Hill in field near the house formerly oc- cupied by Reynolds.
 The woman said Hill and Reynolds quarreled over a small sum of money, and engaged in fight. Later Reyn- olds hit Hill with Winchester rifle, and when this was broken he used an iron poker. With the aid of another. he dragged the body 10 the field, and buried it just under the surface. a
 Reynolds pleaded self-defense.
 Tardy Witnesses Fined.
 Circuit Judge Sorralls is prompt in his duties. and desires court attend ants 70 cooperate in the dispatch of business. That he intends to insist upon this was indicated yesterday when he sentenced T. w. Estes, a witness in the Reynolds case. to pay fine of 5 for contempt. Mr. Estes was late in appearing in court. Eight negroes were also sentenced to pay fines for the same offense. but these fines were remitted when it was shown that the negroes had not been served properly.
