;ack of Bad Money Puts Farmer in Jail

Arl ested at Cabot Friday eve
 ing in possession of a small sack filed with counterfeit quarters, Hines and nickles, L. L. Cloni- gan, 30 years old, a farmer re siding in Yell county, was ar raiuged before W. S Allen, Uni ted States commissioner, Satur- day morning. and held under $500 bond pending further inves- tigation.
 Clonigan was arrested by L., c. James snd J. c Duncan, Lo- noke county officers, who heard he was carrying a sack of money and followed the clue down in the hope of capturing one of the rob- bers who held up the cashier of the Bank of Fl PasO, White coun- ty. last week. The counterfeit money totaling $17, all of it of very crude design.
 Clonigan told Commissioner Alln he was "bumming" his way to McRae, where his father is said to reside, and that he found the sack of money beside camp fire abandoned by some hoboes near Cab t. He declared he had not attempted to pass any of 1t. Unless further evidence is se- cured against Clonigan before next Saturday, it is believed he will be released. Clonigan was brought to Little Rock by W. NJ Martin, deputy United States marshal. W. H. Rector, assist ant United States district attor- ney, conducted the hearing be fore Commissione Allen.

Brakes Wear Out Tires

The sudden application of au- tomobile brakes and the conSe- quent sliding of the wheels cause these worn spots on the tread of tires which result in the early consignment to the scrap heap. If the brakes are applied firmly but gently the car will be s5op- ped as quickly, but without that disastrous result on the rear tires which comes from tanning on the brakes. It would also pre- vent the locking of wheels, which causes the rear wheel to shde for a considerable distance. This in tense friction, says a well known authority. grinds and scrar es off the tread, as well as placing great internal stress on the fab ric.
 You know of course what would happen if the runners of a sleigh bearing half ton load were covered with a soft mater ial such as rubber and dragged over a rough road The soft ma terial or rubber would quick y be worn away by direct friction, therefore, any dragging move ment between the tire surface and the road Is bound to wear the tire.
 When the car is at a dead stop there is, of course, no wear on the tires, as there is no motion to produce external friction. the tire being in perfect contact with the road If the ear is st1rted gently and slowly, and nursed up to the proper speed, the tire retains as near as possible this perfect contact with the road Friction is held at minimdm and wear is unnotced

Choking the Mails

In the neighborhood of 10000 pieces of mail bearing the frank of |. $. senator were re ceiyed in the Boston postoffice in a single day. The senator comes from western state and was a staunch advocate of Charles EV ans Hughes in the November election. He exercised his right to do little campaigning at the expense of the government. IL takes some time for real facts to leak out, but the facts are now before the public.
 Judge Hughes is not to blame, because he possibly knew noth- ing of the strenuous efforts of hi> friend. The senator cannot be severely blamed because he was only ayailing himself of the con cession of the United States mails granted in the constitution.
 But the point is that this priYi. lege granted congressman and senators is being sadly abused.
 Only recently complaint Was made that a certain southern congressman sent his soiled lin en home to be washed at the ex- pense of the government.
 This was not the intent or pur pose of the framers of our con- stitution. The freedom of the mails was intended only for otfic ial business and business affect ing the welfare of our govern ment It was never intended that the franking system should be exercised and used for politi cal purposes and for the pur. pOSS LII Cdul DdlS hIDR
 Yet nearly every congressman and senator on the eve of an cleo ton mends his fences at the ex- pense of the people of the Uni ted States.
 The people pay for the posta system. The Postofice Depart ment each year exceeds it's ap- propriation. There is continual demand for more money. The departm ent cannot sustain itself. The cause is apparent to those who closely watch the mails.

It is the inexperienced motorist who speeds up the engine, jams in the clutch, and by so doing causes the rear wheels to spin violently before the tires can sufficiently grip the road to move the car.

yITTIV not give yOur lad w IL \ the same training? 2?

When I was a growing lad. and came upon many words in my reading that I did not understand, my mother. in- stead of giving me the definition when
 I applied to her, uniformly sent me to the dictionary to learn it, and in this way I gradually learned many things besides the meaning of the individual word in question among other things, how to use dictionary. and the great pleasure and advantage there might be in the use of the dictionary. Afterwards, when went to the village school, my chief diversion, after les- sons were learned and before they were recited, was in turning over the pages of the Unabridged of those days. Now the most modern Uns- bridged-theNEW INTERNATIONAL gives me a pleasure of the same sort So far as my knowledge extends, it is at present the best of the one-yolume dictionaries, and quite sufficient for all ordinary uses. Even those who possess the splendid dictionaries in several volumes will yet find it a great convenience to have this, which is so compact, so full. and SO trustworthy as to leave, in most cases. little to be desired.

Soft velvet tunics, unbslted and with

pleated skirts OF another color.

NEW YORK. Sept, l9-There arc
garments IN the autumn costumery
which look as though they started out
to be Russian blouses and ended up as
!, were, in the middle of their progress,
because the designer found that there
was not enough material for a belt or
for iulncsS.
There may be little material in these
tunicS. but there is no depreciation Of
their beauty by reason Of their scanti-
ness On the contrary they are ex-
cccdingly good looking. II one is look
ing at clothes this autumn from an
economical point Of view, this new kind
OF tunic will be as useful as 4 sweater
II will allow one the constant use OF
separate skirts
To begin with, a, the very beginning
OF the new fashions. there is wide
spread demand for the separate skirt,
that is unusual. Decades ago. women
wanted to wear separate skirts al all
hours OF the day and evening, and.
therefore fashion allowed them to do
II, but since then. the one color from
head to foot the one co-ordinated cos
tune has been the stern demand Of
fashion. Even to the outermost fringes
of the social aggregations on this con-
tincnt, women have seen the beauty Of
the one color at time on the human
figure.
colors May Mingie.
The day OF the one color costume is
gone. II is not dead, we hope, but
sleeping Whatever has caused the revo-
luton from this safe and sane attitude
toward dress, no one knows. Let us
put it off on the war Every other
change has been put down to that cause,
from the presence Of sharks on the At
lantc coast to the price OF spinach on
southern plantations All life has been
readiusted on the basis OF war. and II Is
not far-fe,ched statement that the in
coming of patchwork costumes be added
to the list Of drastic changes that have
occurred on this planet.
Women must be careful or they will
destroy every ounce OF good looks they
possess under the new verdict Of com
hining several colors into one costume
They will be allowed to wear whatever
skirt they want day or evening with
blouse, tunic or coat Of another
color and fabric.
the one fashion in this medley Of
colors that Is frowned upon Is the use
Of the separate skirt with a coatlcS
shirtwaiSt No one must appear in
white wash blouse and a black skirt
outside Of ones own house, and even
there it is not considered in good taste.
The Ciose-FittinG Tunie.
The new tunic which has developed
for formal afternoon gowns since the
first Of September is the long. slim.
velvet tunic which is modelled after
those worn by>men in the twelfth cen
fury in England and France. The sketch
shows exactly how one OF the we'll
known minor dressmakers Of Paris in
terpretS il. Arnold has produced an
amazing lot of good fashions which
