CONTEST FOR CHILDREN
 RED GROSS STAMP SALE
Banner for School and Crusader Fins Offered as Prizes for
 Work.

The sale of the Red Cross Christ mas stamps by the school children had its real opening yesterday when all the big and little salesmen were, enabled to get the stamps at the schools. With the announcement that the "Red Cross Crusader pin will be awarded to each child selling 100 seals or more, and with the committee in charge offering a pennant for the school leading in the sale, competition is expected to be keen.
 All of the public schools and the Annunciation Academy have volun- teered to help raise the funds to fight tuberculosis by selling these seals, and so successful have the children been in the past years that the resi- dence sections of the city have been left entirely for the school children to cover. Ministers over the city urged citizens Sunday to help the children by purchasing when the stamps were brought to them. Mrs. G. H. Martin, chairman of the local Children's Loyalty League. has pro nounced this one of the approved ac- tivities Of the league, and urges that the members of the Pine Bluff chapter respond to this first call for their as- sistance in the Red Cross work.
 In spite of the bad weather. the committee selling seals at booths at Dreyfus' store, the Hotel Pines, the Citizens bank building and the Mer- chants & Planters bank, under the leadership of Miss Henrietta Wilkins, reported approximately $50 worth of seals sold at noon Monday. Sales at tho booths will continue during the week.
 Today the business district will have an opportunity to purchase seals from committee of ladies who will visit them. Those who have seen the new Red Cross Christmas seal agree that it is one of the most beautiful and artistic stamps that has ever been used in the fight against tuberculosis.
 The seal is printed on glazed paper. The design is simple but extremely artistic end appropriate. Santa Claus has been superseded by theeChristmas tree The three is Juniper, laden With snow. with white shield in the center bearing the Red Cross that has become so familiar since the war. T
 The. words Merry Christmas" ana Happy New Year" are printed onl either side of the stamp in red ink, and the figures "1917" and the words American Red Cross" appear at the top and bottom of the seal.
 The committee in charge claim that you must sec the seal to appreciate it's beauty, however, and welcome callers at the booths, where the stamps are always on exhibition.

FOR THE WAR ONLY

Washington, May 31.-Recent
legislations with authorities enlist
ments in the U. S. Marine Corps for
the period of the war only, coupled
with the fact that the Marines will
form part of the first and sue
ceeding overseas contingents, has
done mode in the recent stimulation
of recruiting for these "Soldiers of
the Sea" than any other factors, say
Marine Corps officials here.
1t is thought that many young
who would not ordinarily select a
military career as a business, but
who would lay aside present finan-
cial and personal gain for love of
country and future benefit, take
to enlistments "for the war only,
and this type are generally eager for
quick action.

The peace program of the Austrian

provides for no annexation, no in

The chief points of the program

MOTOR CAR SHORTAGE
DUE TO BIG DEMANDS
Automobiles are Considered Essential
Factors by People of City
and COuutry


Another evidence of the ever-grow-
inc demand for motor cars is evident
in statement to the effect that in
spite of its huge production. WHY'S
Overland, Inc. OF Toledo. was unable
to ship during September all the cars
which were sold at retail last month
when one considers that WHY'S
overland Inc, is one of the largest
automobile producers In the world,
with production running into thous-
ands of cars each month. one cannot
dispute the fact that there must be
tremendous call for cars" said an
official OF the above named company.
ut is true that many of the Sep
tember buyers were what Is known as
repeat buyers. They had previously
owned our cars and were Euying new
models Nevertheless, a close scrutiny
OF the sales reports would reveal an
amazing nuiaber of new owners
purchasers who had never before
owned cais.
And. from the standpoint of the
automobile dealers. the latter Is ths
ccst encouraging feature of the busi =
ress. It marks general awakening
of the public to the utility advantages
of the motor vehicle The vast ma
jority of purchasers nowadays are not
buying cars simply because they ex-
pect to get pleasure out Of them. on
the other hand. they are buying them
for economic reasons.
zone man gets a car because II will
prove great time saver-give him
more working hours each day. An
other gets one at the advice OF his
physician so that he can have al
hours recreation each day without
disturbing has office routine. And
still another blys car 30 that he can
economizo on living expenses
out In the suburbs at lower rental and
more pleasant surroundings and so on
"In other words, the motor car has
come to be an essential factor In
everyday life. both for the city man
end the rural resident. Hence. the
demand is greater than ever before"
