BILL PROVIDES FOR | RESTRAINING ORDER
Senator Whitaker Makes First Move to Protect St. Francis
 Basin From Overflow.

Little Rock, Feb. 7.-If the house !concurs in resolution adopted by
 the senate Tuesday, authority to
 use the name of the state will be
 granted so that residents in the
 northeastern section of the state can bring suit against Missouri or resi- dents of Missouri to secure an in- junction to prevent draining water into Arkansas. Senator Whitaker and others inT troduced the resolution to get per- mission to use the states name, re- quired by federal laws. He explain ed that drainage districts in Mis- lsouri are being constructed and that the water will be turned into Ar kansas streams that are not now large enough to prevent overflows. He said that injunction actions may be instituted in federal courts, eith- CT of Arkansas or Missouri, to have the work stopped until Arkansas Hand owners in the district threat
 ened can prepare to take care of the extra water.

BROUCH IN FAVOR
 PUBLICITY LAW
Vetoes Measure to Emasculate Stat. ute-House Passes Bill Against
 Special Attorneys"

Little Rock, Feb. 6-Gov. Brough sent to the house Monday afternoon his second veto message, announcing his disapproval of bill by MT. Hardage providing for the letting of contracts for the publication of initiative and referendum amend ments on competitive bids. He de- clared that publicity is the very Gibraltar of the initiative and ref erendum, and is the only agency we have for the recall in Arkansas" |" He suggested other desirable amend- ments to the publicity bill and paid a glowing tribute to the press as the "mfghtiest of the mighty means on which the army of pro- eFess leans"
 The session of the 41st general assembly is half over today. AS a result of the work of the law makers, there are now 3S acts that have been approved by the gover- nor and two proposed constitution al amendments. There has been a total of 330 bills introduced in the house, and 226 in the senate.
 A bill by Representative Meador has passed the house which will have the result of retaining about 100000 acres of valuable lands in Clark county. The bill is for the organization of the, Ross drainage district, to reclaim the lands of the Terre- Noir basin which are now sub- ject to overflow.
 The house passed two bills Mon day providing for the collection of inheritance taxes, both of which will take it out of the hands of the special attorneys who are now ap- pointed by the attorney general and paid 20 per cent of all amounts collected One is s. B. No. 39 (Ut- ley and Adamson), providing for the appointment by the governor of an inheritance tax collector for a term of two years, at salary of S3000 a year. This bill was recom- mended by Gov. Brough in a special message, insisting that it is a measure of economy and good busi- ness, and that it is unjust to public interest to allow special attorneys and over. This treatment also serves to keep the victim from in haling the flames.

DON'T TRY TO DRAW FIRE OUT OF BURN
Foolish Practice, Says Expert
 What to Do and What Not to @ Do For Burns.

The very common practice of holding a burn before the fire ito
 draw the heat out of it'' is as fool ish as it is painful, says a bulletin , just issued by the Arkansas Actua- rial Bureau in which the proper
 treatment for burns, mild or serious, is given.
 The directions are not designed
 to take the place of treatment by
 a physician.
 For a burn affecting only the
 external or horny layer of skin a good household remedy is a tea spoonful of baking soda in pint of water. Soak cotton in the mix ture and apply Air should be kept away from the burn. A coating of sweet oil is good. Some mothers
 use potato scrapings for the same purpose. Any burn even though it only
 reddens the skin, if it affects a 1 large area of the surface of the
 body is dangerous, through the shock it occasions. While a phy- sician Is on the way the burned area should be protected from air,
 Such burns as these usually result
 from gas or gasoline explosions. Clothing over blistered skin should be removed with great care
 so as not to break the blister. Aft erward the blister should be pricked with a clean needle, near the edge of the blister and the dead skin which formed it should be protected until new skin forms underneath. | Put carron oil on such burns. Soak rags or cotton in the oil and place
 on the burns. Carrop oil, named
 from the Carron iron works of Scot land where it was first used to dress the injuries of workmen, is made of limewater and linseed oil
 in equal parts. Burns which affect all three lay
 CTS of skin, called "burns of the third degree" must have compe- | tent medical attention at once. The suffering of the victim may be all
 leviated by placing him in bath | tub of mildly warm water.
 DON'T RUN WHEN CLOTHES BURN.
 When a woman'S clothes catch | fire she should seize the first con- | ble cover, rug or similar article and wrapping it about the blaze, | roll on the floor. A. child or adult who runs when afire should be for cibly thrown down and rolled over

OFFICIAL OPINION
 IS MUCH DIVIDED
Washington 0ptimists Think Ger many Will Modify Order
 Others See War.

Washington, Feb. 6.-On the |oversha lowing question of "war or peace with Germany" official opin- ion in Washington tonight appears about evenly divided. Those who regard war as inevitable predict it's eventuation by next Saturday night,
 while those who see escape from war assert that President Wilson's sev- erance of diplomatic relations with Germany last Saturday emphasized
 peace A cabinet officer declared in the democratic cloak room of the
 house this afternoon that in his opinion the presidents action had given an emphasis to peace.
 It is the view of the peace opti- mists that the German government will find way to modify it's sub marine blockade announcement Of Jan. 31 so as to satisfy the United States that it does not intend to make it's merchant and passenger
 vessels the object of ruthless subma- rine attack. On the other hand, those who hold the opinion that act ual war is only few days off at best, claim that only miracle can prevent its realization. Their opin- ion presupposes starving Germany and a government driven to the last |submarine blockade announcement |in a desperate chance to divert the
 mind of a threatening populace by |attempting something spectacular. |The moral effect of the sinking of a few vessels, of whatever national |ity, would be of incaiculable bene- it to the German government In this the darkest hour of the war. Wherefore there will be no mOdifi- cation of the barred zone announce
 ment, even to avert war with the
 United States.
 So far as the administration prop CT Is concerned, preparations for the
 worst are being made as if the day
 for the beginning of hostilities had
 been set. These preparations, how ever, while necessarily anticipatory lin a precautionary sense. do not mean that the administration is re- signed to the inevitability of war. Manifestly the president is hoping that war may be averted, but at the same time he Is setting the United States in order for any event
 uality. Tn other words, President
 Wilson is not to be caught mapping.
 U. s. FINANCIALLY STRONG. Capital bankers today expressed confidence in the strength of the country's finances to meet any em- ergency. They said that the pres ent strong financial condition of the United States will enable the country to meet any situation
 which may develop as result of the severance of relations with Ger many. Some even take the view
 that business conditions will im- prove, now that the president has taken a firm and final stand on the submarine issue.
