Entertainment Tomorrow
 Evening, March 2d.

Mr. Edward Brigham, basso profun- do and dramatic reader, will give a recital at the school auditorium begin hing at S:30 tomorrow (Friday) eve ming, under the auspices of the $. l. A. Mr Brigham gave recital here two years ago, and all who heard him were very much delighted with his program and the quality of his work, so 1t goes without saying that he will probably be greeted by goody audience to- morrow evening.
 In order that the entertainment may not conflict with the Bible Conference, it has been arranged for the meeting at the church Friday evening to begin at 7:l5. so that the people can attend the Bible lecture and then go to the school house. The program at the latter place will begin at S:30.

Chinese Industry Revived.

Chinese manufacturers of vegetable dyes have been induced to revive the manufacture of that product which had been almost wholly suspended The higher prices being paid for these dyes at present Is said to have made possible the organization of the busi- ness on sounder economic principles. Large quantities of the dyes have al- ready been shipped 10 the United Kingdom. where they are said to be giving satisfaction. There Is prac- tically no limit to the supply. pro- vided the price paid Is commensurate with the cost of production. In Japan, before the introduction of mineral dyes. there were probably more diff ferent vegetable dyes used than in any other part of the world. Few of the dyes. however. were strictly fast. and the only thoroughly dependable black was the one made in the kyoto district and used largely in dyeing the haori. the slt,rt. jacket-like gar ment worn hy the Japanese men and women alike. The vegetable dyes were long ago supplanted by mineral ones, but existing circumstances are said by American Industries to be forcing a return to the older dyes.

s. l. A..

The meeting of last Friday, Feb. 23, was the most pleasant of the year.
 At the call to order from the presi dent, those present gathered around the long white table of the S. l. A. kitchen to attend the business of the day.
 School ground apparatus were serious ly discussed. the treasurer report giving assurance of operative basis.
 The coming school meet had place in the discussions Plans have already taken form in regard to the arrange ments, which are to be completed at the April business meeting.
 Regrets were expressed because of absent members, also because of a lack of interest on the part of mothers who have never given expression of any interest in the organization, Every mother by virtue of present relations or future relations is a member of the S l. A.
 We have possibly different homes and different churches. but we have only one school. What benefits one child in school should benefit all and so 1t will if the source of benefit is equal to the need
 \ few can not do the work of many. What the <. l. A with it's few mem hers has done is only whisper of what could be done if you. the disinterested, would lend your forces to the move ment
 This organization was effected more than two years ago Only few have carried it. Is 1t fair that thing should be created to die Is 1t fair that one woman should have the al most impossible task of keeping life in it when the object is so near to the life of every mother?
 A large percent of failure to make good is not the fault of the one who failed but falls upon those who pledged their cooperation and failed to give it.
 All who are interested. procrastinate no longer, but unite your efforts to make this the best organization of Southeast Arkansas. \

Worlds Greatest Liar.

Perhaps the most yoluhla liar that ever lived was the Baron Munchausen {; that Is. the fictioniZed baron. The real baron was kindly soul who lived in Germany. and who in nowise de- served the evil reputation that at- iached to him through the use of his name in series of highly colored adventures that appeared in print in London in 1TS5.
 The authorship of the absurd tales is mystery. It Is generally believed that Rudolph Erich Raspe. ques- tionahle character. wrote the stories Bret. but there Is no absolute contirma- ton. Following the original series n number of additional adventures were written by less skilled pens.

On EuQenics.

Prof. Herbert l.. Flower said in an address on eugenics in Boston:
 Youths point of view Is better than ages when it comes to questions of evSAenics.
 Here. for example. is dialogue to prove my claim:
 "A beautiful girl said on n white beach to her fashionable mother:
 "'Yes, mother. dear, like Mir. Gobsa Golde, but isn't he too old to be con sideref e!ig!hl2T
 fashionable mother compressed her tithed lips.

HOW HISTORY IS DISTORTED
Curious liberties' Taken by Scholars With Events in Other Countries, as
 Matter of Policy"

Curious liberties have been taken by the scholars of one country with the history of another. the distortion being. of course. due in many instances to policy" A striking example is found in Russian textbook edited by great Russian scholar. Iloyaiski
 Louis XVI was q good and peace full king. After n long and famous reign. fin which he was most happy in his choice of minister of finance. he died quietly in Paris. beloved by all his people. His death was caused by Il hemorrhage
 '''rhe successor of Louis XVI was his son. Louis XVII. During his reign the brave. royal army, commanded by Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte. captured the largest part of the European con- tinent for the French crown. But the faithless Napoleon showed tendencies toward misusing his power. and was suspected of harhoring dishonest de- signs against the legitimate ruler. With the help of his majesty the em- peror and autocrat of all the Russians. his plans were frustrated. and he was deprived of all his possessions, hon ors and rights to Il pension. He was then cxiled to the island of St Helena, where he died.'

NO MORE ART IN THE HOME
Bungalows and Apartments of Today Have No Place for Great Pic
 lures of Past.

"The future of art will be in mu- in cemeteries" John L. Balderston quotes George Moore in The Atlantic As l have said, after the art of the temple. the cathedral, and the palace, came the art of the house, which was the last phase; for now the art of the house is dead, since people no longer live in houses. They are all moving into bungalows. or which is the same thing. into apartments-and in bun galow there is no room for art. We have futile attempts at art for the bungalow, ns we shall have pretended art for the Pullman car. for the motor, for the aeroplane. The great pictures of the past. having hung in houses for centuries. are passing into museums, not only because people arc moving out of houses. but because new social ideas are destroying the great estates and making 1t impossible to keep valu able art works from one generation to another. In England now three death duties will break up the greatest estate in the kingdom. You say you still have houses in America and milionaires with money enough to buy pictures? Ah, but think of what they buy IL takes n lifetime to learn to recognize good picture. and how can q man who has spent his best years making for tune expect to know n masterpiece when he sees it2 When I was in Paris forty years ago your rich Americans were buying trash "

LOS ANGELES, Sept 27- Motion pictures of relatives. sweethearts or close friends. taken against back ground of scenes in their own home town" would be shown 10 American soldiers in the trenches under plan submitted to Newton D. Baker, sec retary of war. by Thomas II. Ince. a motion picture producer, in let ter made public here today.
 MT. Ince's plan contemplates the making of motion pictures under government auspices in every city and town of importance. Parents families or friends and sweethearts of soldiers in each center, according to the plan, would be notified to ap- pear at certain time and motion pictures probably simply pano- ramic view-would be taken of them probably taking in, also, familiar buildings, streets or parks in each town. Thus the reel of each center would be to the soldiers from that

BALLET GIRLS
 OF RUSSIA TO
 BE LIBERATED

PETROGRAD, Sept.-Ballet girls are being permitted to enter the learned professions. A special com mission to prepare reforms in the former Imperial, now state, thea tres has pronounced for abolition of the system under which ballet pupil could never be anything but a ballet dancer.
 At the age of nine years, many girls entered the ballet school of the Mariinsky theatre and spent their childhood learning to dance, receiving scarcely any general edu- cation; and were ordered to go on the ballet stage If they refused they were excluded from all except the lowest occupations.
 In the future, girls who have passed through the ballet school will be considered as having received complete six-class secondary school ing, and will thus be qualified to in wOman's uniVerSi- ty and become doctors, lawyers en- gineers and technicians.
