Clarksbufg's Ambition.

Shifting State capitals by arbitrary
legislative action is by NO means cosN-
mon, The most recent instance was
the moving of the seat of the Ok
lahoma government from Guthrie to
Oklahoma City, but Oklahoma was
a new State. and the people had not
become accustomed to any capital.
The shift brought no breaking of
home ties. Other States, such as
Missouri, Kentucky, Michigan and
Louisiana, retain small villages or
towns as their capitals, despite the
fact that they contain great and i'm
portant cities.
Some may remember when Mix
ledgeville was the capital of Georgia
and when New Haven shared with
Hartford the honor of being capita
of Connecticut; and it was compare
lively recently that Newport ceased
to rank as one Of the capitals ,o1

eu,y-two grams of explosives. The
sexenty-two bullets cover a space OF
at least tsr4 to fifty square meters.
The rifle grenade may be fired from
an sordinary army rifle at any range
up ito aboHt 400 meters The great
destructive effect of the grenade is
due TO the &act that the explosion
takes place Immediately after the
grenade strikes the ground before it
has had timeEtp bury itself in ahe soil.
''Tae 'hoUitzer' grenade weighs
ONE .k1logram and contains 2a5 bull
Lets and bursting charge weighing
200 grams. 1t can be throMn with
the hana forty meters or with a how
itzer' 900 meters. The 'howitzer is
continuance made of cylindar and
weighs twelve Kilograms. 1t may be
carried like rife. The bullets of
this grenade cover semi-cireular
space of at least eighty square me-
ters and spread only to the front and
laterally,, but not to the rear toward
the thrower. They ane, therefore. of
special value for fighting at close
quarters. They are constructed 50
that they may be exploded only after
they have Travelled eight meters to-
ward the\target.
TESTS with this kind of grenades
had the following results:
"Volleys were fired from seven
'howilzers' at group of eighty fig
ures distributed over space Of 900
square meters at distances of 2S0 to
80 meters. After the fourth vol
ley sixty-eight figures were hit 143
times.
THE hand grenade weighs one
kilogram and contains 100 bullets
weighing "a grams and a bursting
charge weighing 10 grams. In con-
trast to the above described how
itzer' grenade, the bullets fly in
every direction, so that it is only
adapted for throwing from cover, A
volley of seven grenades, thrown by
hand from cover, made 119 hits on
thirty-three figures against the tar
get already described.
The last kind of these grenades
is the mine grenade. 1t weighs
about four Kilograms and contains
400 3.3-gram bullets and 200-gram
bursting charge. The 400 bullets
will cover a space Of at least 500
square meters. These grenades to-
gether with their electrical connec-
tions are placed about one-half me-
ter under the surface of the ground,
so that they are completely invisible
to the enemy.
When it is set off, the grenade |
rises about three-fourths of meter
above the ground, then explodes, and
throws the bullets in all directions |
parallel with the ground. At dis
tance Of ten meters the bullets will |
go through wood at least 100 milli-
meters thick and retain deadly ef-
fectiveness for a distance of fifty me-
ters. A detachment of 100 men can
lay line of these mines over a |
front of 1000 meters in less than
two hours.
In a test three mine grenades |
were laid in the corners of trian-
gle whose legs were thirty meters
long, among a group of 145 wooden
double silhouettes that we're scatter
ed over space of 200 square me-
ters. The grenades were set off |
electrically, one after the other. The
result was that 120 silhouettes were
hit 700 times"

for about one-quarter of the circle,
when you bring the shoulders slowly
square with the print (the mark

from this point on bring the right

To complete an inside edge circle,
bring the balance leg slowly forward

We will take the edges first, be-
cause they are the bases of all figure
skating. Remember always to make
your figures large-that is essential
to the beginner.
In beginning the right outside
edge, stand with feet together. Start
by pressing with the edge, not the
point, of the left skate.
Turn the body so the right Shout
der is almost directly over the right
foot. Hold right arm well up and
curved around the breast about six
inches away, and extend the left arm
directly behind the body.
Hold this position for one-half the
circle. Then slowly carry the bal
ance foot forward past the skating
foot, turning the toe in and bending
the knee of the balance foot as it is
brought forward. Turn the body
gradually as the left foot takes new
position. The edge is finished with
The left foot held quite high above

The inside edges are much easier.
Start for the right inside forward
circle with a push of the edge of the
left skate. q

Regardless of the recent election held in Perry county, which it Is said virtually ended the strife between Perryville and Bigelow. there Is ap. parently some element of diseord still existing between the two factions. 1t is now rumored that two primary cleo. tions will be held in Perry county April If. when Democratic nominees for delegates to the constitutional convention will be selected.
 The rumor is based on report that six members of the County Cen. tral Committee, Bigelow supporters, held secret meeting. while the re mainder of the committeeman. Perry vile protagonists, attended the reg ular" committee meeting.
 Perryville supporters say that the regular meeting of the County Central Committee was held March 24, when the primary election was arranged but that members of the committed. who sympathize with Bigelow, refused to attend the meeting. Five members of the organization, comprising, it is said, the Bigelow representation, met and called the meeting, which wa held and which they failed to attend What transpired at the independent. meeting is not known.

ROOSEVELT LAUDS
 WILSON'S DECISION
FORMER PRESIDENT STOPS IN WASHINGTON TO PRAISE HIM
 CALLS AT WHITE HOUSE.
SAID MESSAGE GREAT PAPER
Standing in Railway Station Former President Tells Great Crowd That Executive Has Written Document
 To Be Proud Of.

Washington. Col. Roosevelt stopped off here on his way home from Florida to call on President Wilson at the White House and congratulate him on his address to Congress.
 Col Roosevelt went. to the main door of the executive mansion, where he learned that the president had gone over to his offices He told the chief usher he was only in town be- tween trains and wished to congratu- late the president on "his great state paper" The colonel left his card and departed without seeing the presi- dent.
 Col. Roosevelt, standing in tho midst of great crowd in the rail- way station here, dictated the follow ing statement:
 "The presidents message is great state paper which will rank in history among the great state papers of which Americans in future years will be proud. It now rests with the people of the country to see that we put in practice the policy the president has outlined and that we strike as hard, as soon, and as effectively as possible in aggressive war against the govern ment of Germany We must send troops to the firing line as rapidly as possible. Defensive war is hopeless. We must by vigorous offensive war fare win the right to have our voice count for civilization and justice when the time for peace comes.
 "f. of course, very earnestly hope that ] may be allowed to raise divl- sion for immediate service at the front. I guarantee that no finer body of fighting men could be gathered to- gether than there would be in that division, but of course the men to whom l would appeal will come for ward only fit is understood that tho division is to be sent at the earliest practical moment into the fighting line"

Jones D0ro.-- The citizens of Jonesboro sent tele- grams to President Wilson, Arkansas senators and Congressman Carraway pledging support of the government in the present international crisis, who gathered at Jonesboro in an en- thusiastic patriotic mass meeting. The telegrams read:
 "To the President:
 Two thousand citizens in mass meeting assembled, unanimously pledge to you their unqualified sup port in upholding and maintaining our national honor and dignity. and in prescribing all rights of citizenship which our flag symbolizes,'
 It was signed by the Rev. c. F. Cor lins, H. If. Houghton, H. J. Spencer and E. L. Westbrook, representatives of those assembled.
 Speeches were made at the meeting by Capt. R. F. Ward, former Con federate soldier; Chaplain L w. Gee of the First Regiment, Arkansas Ma tional Guard, and others. Captain Ward aroused enthusiasm with his talk q am going to Mississippi, my native state," he said, and offer my services. If they don't take me, I will go to Tennessee, where I lived for some time, and if refused there I will offer my services to Arkansas If am refused by each, I will buy myself a gun and fight on my own hook"

". The ensemble made figure wildly incongruous to the soberly splendid and stately dining hall of the Primor- dial club, with it's sparse patronage of members in evening dress.
 Ember, himself as severely beauti- ful in black and white as the ceremo- nious livery of today permits man to be, was wonder-struck at sight of Whitaker in such unconventional guise, at such time, in such a place. With neither invitation nor salutation, he slipped into chair on the other side of the table, and stared.
 Whitaker smiled benignantly upon him, and called waiter.
 Ember. always abstemlous, lifted his hand and smiled negative smile.
 Whitaker dismissed the waiter.
 Well =. 2" he inquired cheer fully.
 What right have you got to look like that?" Ember demanded.
 "The right of every free-born Amer ican citizen to make an ass of himself according to the dictates of his con- science. I've been exploring the dark backwards and abysm of the Bronx afoot. Got caught in the rain on the way home. Was late getting back, and dropped in here to celebrate"

 You've heard the news, thenw
 'In three ways" Whitaker re- turned, with calm.
 "How's that-three ways?"
 Through the newspapers, the bill- boards, and from the lips of my wife,"
 Ember opened his eyes wide.
 You've been to see herr"
 'She called this morning."
 But Ember interrupted, thrusting ready and generous hand across the table:
 My dear man, am glad!"
 Whitaker took the proffered hand readily and firmly. ''Thank you. :. was saying: she called this morning to inform me that, though welded once, we must be strangers now-and evermorei"
 "But you-of course-you argued that nonsense out of her head"
 ITO the contrary-again."
 "But-my dear man!-you said you were celebrating; you permitted me to congratulate you just now"
 "The point is," said Whitaker. with a bland and confident grin; I've sue ceeded in arguing that nonsense out of my head-not hers-mine."
 Ember gave helpless gesture. "Pm sc of ey<1 nights
 q mean that, though Mary ran away from me, wouldn't listen to reason, l have, in the course of an afternoons hard tramping, come to the conciu- sion that there is nothing under the sun which binds me to sit back and accept whatever treatment she pur- poses according me by courtesy of Jules Max"
 Whitaker bent forward, his coun- tenance discovering a phase of seri- ousness hitherto masked by his twist ed smile.
 ''I mean I'm tired of all this poppy cock. Unless I'm an infatuated ass, Mary loves me with all her heart. She has made up her mind to renounce me partly because Max has worked upon her feelings by painting some lurid picture of his imminent artistic ana financial damnation if she leaves him, partly because she believes, or has been led to believe, in this destroy ing angel moonshine. Now she's got to listen to reason. So, likewise, Max"
 "You're becoming more human word by word" commented Ember with open approval. Continue; elucidate; I can understand how fairly resolute lover with the gift of gab can talk weak-minded, fond female into deny ing her pet superstition; but how you're going to get around Max passes my comprehension. The man unques- tionably has her under contract"
 sBut you forgot his god is Mann mon." Whitaker put in. Max will do anything in the world for money Therein resides the kernel of ny plan.

CHAPTER xxx.
Black Out.

The auditorium was in almost total darkness. A single voice was audible from the stage that confronted it like some tremendous, moonlight canvas in huge frame of tarnished gold. They stole silently round the orchestra seats to the stage-box-the same box that Whitaker had on the former occasoin occupied in company with Max.
 They succeeded in taking possession without attracting attention, either from the owners of that scanty scat tering of shirt bosoms in the orchestra the critical fraternity and those in- inmates bidden by the manager to the first glimpse of his new revelation in stagecraft-or from those occupying the stage.
 The latter were but two. Evidently, though the curtain had been up for some minutes, the action of the piece had not yet been permitted to begin to unfold. Whitaker inferred that Max had been dissatisfied with something about the lighting of the scene. The manager was standing in mid-stage, otuiiAS up dt tAc DoiucrSd Stout anu pompous figure, tenacious to every de- tail of that public self which he had striven so successfully to make unfor- gettably individual; figure quaintly incongruous in his impeccable morn- ing coat and striped trousers and fiat brimmed elk hat, perched well back on his head, with his malacca stick and lemon-colored gloves and small and excessively glossy patent-leather shoes, posed against the counterfeit of a moonlit formal garden.
