ALL SCHOOLS MUST
HAVE FIRE DRILLS
State Fire Marshal Issues Orders
Hot on Trail of the
Fire Bugs.

Little Rock, July T. Especially
Bruce T. Bullion, state insurance
commissioner and fire marshal, has
issued an order to all school super
intcndents in the state, calling at
tontion to the law which requires
a fire drill in all public and private
schools of Arkansas. Commissioner
Bullion orders the schools to hold
at least monthly drills, and a re
port of drills in all county schools
must be made annually to the COM
missioner.
In addition to this the fire mar
shall has been quite busy man
looking after alleged incendiary
fires. Requests have been made to
him to look into about ten fires
which have occurred in Arkansas
within the past few months, and
sufficient evidence has been found
in several of these to warrant pros
ecution. The evidence has been
placed in the hands of the prose-
cutting attorneys, and prosecutions
are expected to follow.

May from William Philip Simms
and Henry Wood, the United Press
staff correspondents with the
British and French armies, told
wildly of the destruction wrecked
upon the villages of Vermand, Ham,
st. Simon. Savy and others in the
path of this retreating horde.
BY the time American troops ar
rive there--if the Washington re-
ports are accurate-they will, how
ever, find this wasted land all re-
built. New roads have been con-
structed and the great jagged holes
left by shells smoothcd over in part
at least. The st. Quintin sector is
ideally located for the American
front" Two big trunk lines of rail
ways will give full access to it, the
land is gently level and drained by
the Somme river. Beyond St Quin-
tin the land held by the Germans
becomes more hilly.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR
Make this beauty lotion for a few
cents and see for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remov ecomplex-
ion blemishcs; to Written the skin
and to bring out the roses, the
freshness and the hidden beauty?
But lemon juice alone is acid,
therefore irritating, and should be
mixed with orchard white this way
Strain through a fine cloth the
juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three
ounces of orchard white, then shake
well and you have a whole. quarter
pint of skin and complexion lotion
at about the cost one usually pays
for a small jar Of, ordinary cold
cream. Be sure to strain the lemon
juice SO no pulp gets into the bot
tic, then this lotion will remain
pure and fresh for months When
applied daily to the face, neck, arms
and hands it should help to bleach,
clear, smoother and beautify the
skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very lit
lie cost and the grocer has the
lemons. #tf

would seem well worth our while,
in this juncture, even without any
reference to war conditions, to do
everything within our power to
stem this tide of loss especially in
consideration of the fact that

Quintin has frequently been men
toned in the French war office
statements. 1t was captured by
French troops early in April, and
presumably is occupied by them
now. st. Quintin is an important
key-point in the Douai- Cambrai-La-
Fere line of the German defense on
the western front. The British and
French offensive of March and
April brought the allied forces to
within mile of the city. 1t was
at the time of the offensive appar-
emily one of the main objectives of
the drive by which the French and
British followed up Hindenburgs
famous strategic retreat" Then,
when the city was within actual
sight of the allied troops, weak
ness in the German defense devel-
oped along the Franco British
front caused change of plans, and
the drive on st. Quintin was tenn
porarily held up pending blows
struck at the weaker spots. AS far
as official statements for the past
three months have shown, the al
lied line in this particular sector
now runs something like this: From
Gonneleu to Villers Guislain, to
Epehy, to Ronssoy, Hargicourt, Viii
leret, lie Verguier, Pontru, Maisse
my, Fresnoy lie Petit, Fayet, Sele
noy, Savy, Chauny, Coucy lie Chat
eau, Landricourt All these towns
are held by the French and Brit
ish troops.
Surprising that this is the sec
tion picked for the American eX-
peditionary army, it seems reason
able to presume there will soon be
another drive at the basic city of
St. Quintin carried out by the Am
orleans. st. Quintin and the city of
LaFere, the latter located approx
imately twelve miles to the south,
are the foundations on which Hin
denburg built his famous line
The German front in this particu-
lar section swings in a great arc
from St Quintin to LaFere, below
Laon and then sharply upward
again along the front whore the
French have recently won their
wonderful success in the Aisne
drive, to Rheims.
From this description, it will be
seen that penetration of the Ger
man lines anywhere along this arc
not only menaces the German grip
on all of Flanders and Belgium to
the north, but likewise would give
for a tremendous faux
ing movement on the German lines
to the south.
For this reason some of the tierc
est fighting of the war has made the
St Quintin sector bloody ground
ahead of the city lies some of the
most terribly ravished ground of
all that which the Germans relin-
pushed in their strategic retreat"

BEN BUTLER's BLUFF.
II Was Well Worked and Completed,
Fooled General Binuham.

It Was Well Worked and Completely
Fooled General Bingham.
General John A. Bingham was a
member of the military tribunal that
tried Mrs Surratt and the Lincoln as
sassination conspirators.
After the trial in the subsequent de-
bates in the house General B. f. But
Ter frequently charged that the com
mission had arrived at an unjust YER
dict and had convicted an innocent
woman. In a memorable debate he
boldly proclaimed that II the contents
of a diary which had been found on
the dead body of ]. Wilkes Booth were
ever made public it would disclose the
fact that it contained the proof Of Mrs
Surratt's innocence, which proof had
been UNANIMOUSLY suppressed by the
commission.
When General Bingham made move
ment as though he would repel such
an accusation Butler dramatically drew
a memorandum book from his breast
pocket and held it aloft, but did not
utter a word. Bingham naturally sup
posed that Butler had a copy Of a
diary such as he had spoken Of. AS
a matter of fact the book contained
nothing but blank leaves. General
Butler was just blufing.
The diary was in possession of Sec
rotary Stanton, but President Johnson
finally demanded 1t. It was an inter
esting book. but 1t threw no light upon
the great conspiracy.

RIDING ON BUBBLES OF AIR.
Motoring Would Be Ideal If Tires Could
Be Made Thinner.

Be Made Thinner.
In the whole mechanism of modern
transportation there is nothing so par
adoxical, nothing so daring In concep-
ton as these bubbles of air which we
call tires. They are at once strangely
nonsensical and strangely practical;
nonsensical because they must endure
great strains and yet are necessarily
made Of uncomfortable material; practi-
cal because nothing can match air as
shock absorber. From all the tales that
we hear of tire costs and tire repairs
let it not be forgotten that motoring as
we know it became possible because of
the art Of riding on bubbles of air had
been discovered.
What happens when the old fashion
ed iron tired, wooden buggy wheel
strikes small stone In the road? It
simply rises and the entire load rest
Ing on the wheel is lifted. There is
loss of power-more work for the horse,
Tor whenever you or horse lifts q
weight energy must be expended.
What happens when an air tube strikes
a stone? The tube is simply punched
In, as it were, momentarilyl The wheel
need not be lifted over the obstruction.
In order to secure this extraordinary
result the air must have a chance to
compress. If 1t were possible to build
tire with wall as thin as a soap
bubbles and yet SO tough and elastic
that it would both yield to blows and
resist punctures and blowouts the ideal
would be attained. One of the hardest
technical tasks ever set was that of de-
handing from the rubber industry a
tube which would hold air and which
would also be resilient.
Air tires serve not only to make mo-
toring luxuriously comfortable, but to
protect the car itself. Were it not for
them engines would not perform their
work so efficiently gasoline would not
be SO economically consumed; high
speed would be unttainable; steering
would not be SO easy shock would not
be completely absorbed. Waldemar
Kaempfert In McClure's Magazine.

BEGINNING Of the Drama.

The theater in the only sense that is
worth considering was born in Athens
Both tragedy and comedy spring from
feasts In honor of Bacchus, and as the
jests and frolics were found to be out
OF place when introduced into graver
scenes a separate province-the true
drama-was formed and comedy arose.
The father Of the Greek comedy was
Aristophanes, who had lots Of fun
lampooning the public men Of Athens.
The creator of Greek tragedy was
Aeschy1us, born B. G. 525. In sublimi-
ty Aeschyius has never been surpass-
ed. He is to the drama what Phidias
and Michelangelo are to art
