EXTEND FISHING SEASON.
Commission Also CoIrects Report That Hook and Line Fishing
 Prohibited.

Little Rock, MarcHl22.-There is never a closed season on fishing with hook and line, or wita a fly. There has been report circulating over the state that fishing was to be closed during certain months of the year, and that even the boy with the rcd worm was to be put under the ban. Members of the game and fish com mission desire to correct this im- pression. During the spawning sea- son the wooden minnow may not be used, but the fly can be used by those holding license. There is no license required to fish with worms.
 When spawning the game fish will attack a wooden minnow which has nine hooks fastened to it. The fly is considered food, and will be taken only when the fish is feeding.
 The game and fist, commission held meeting Tues.ay afternoon and decided to extend the open sel- son on fishing to April 2 at midnight. The season will then be closed until May 15. The commission will also probably increase the force of war dens from 9 to 17, but this cannot be done until fall, when the license receipts will justify it

 ON "NOON OF LIFE''

"The Noon of Life" was the su5- ject of an impressive address at the Fellowship luncheon a. the Y. M. :C. A. yesterday evening, when Professor Hohgatt, conducting the music at the Christian church revival, rendered. a solo, His Eye Is on the Sparrow, I Know He Watches Me."
 MT. Steel said ministers were often heard to speak of childhood as thu morning of life, and old age as the evening of life, but few ever referred to the base line or 'roon of life," most important period in ones ca reer, he said The minister pointed out that at the age of 40 a person ta about in the moon of life," and that it is at about, this age that most di- vorces are sought, and when many men and women become addicted to the use of liquor and turn to the baser things of life.
 Quoting from the forty first psalm, Mir. Steel urged that men and women turn to Jehovah, because. he sail, their only certai insecurity is through strength derived from trust in the great Jehovah.

 The marking of the graves of patri- otic citizens-soldiers of the revolution of the war of 1872, and of the war be- twee nthe states, by the patriotic soci- eties of Arkansas, is an indication that we are turning in grateful mem- ory to pioneer citizens and statesmen, and doing them honor at time when their noble example is needed, to ln- spire young America.
 Judge Samuel Calhoun Roane has been called cone of the really great men of Arkansas" Born in Wilson county, Tenn, in 1793, he served under General Jackson in the war of 1872, winning the rank of major.

Fashions of To-Day B. By May Manton

~IRLS who arc .contem-
 M plating a trip to the
 South will be sure to like this simple sports or morning dress. It consists of a plain blouse and a very new skirt that is especially adapted to the materials of lighter weight, Here, the trimming is banding, but a contrasting material could be used or braid or anything that may suit the material, and the need. You could make the blouse and skirt of one material or you can make the skirt of the heavier material and the blouse of a thinner. Silk jerseyis good material for sports wear and would be very pretty treated just after the manner illustrated.
 For the I6-year size the blouse will require, 5 yards oi material 27 inches wide, 2A yards 36, I$4 yards A and the skirt, 4$s yards o7, 33s. yards 3o, 2$s yards A; it is 212 yards in width at the lower edge.
 The blouse pattern No. o28I and the skirt No. o29S both are cut in sizes for I6 and IS years. They will be mailed to any ad- dress by the Fashion Depart. mcnt of this paper, on receipt of ten cents for each.
 THIS is a charming little
 dress that can be used for commencement and also for dances and occasions of such sort. In the picture, it is made from one of the dainty white cotton voiles of fine quality with a simple lace insertion above each hem and beneath this insertion ribbon is inserted The ribbon on the skirt is drawn up a little to give the tucks a slight ruffled effect. It is very simple treatment and a very attractive one, but the dress without any trimming la quite correct. In the back view is suggestion for soft finished taffeta made in that way that is charming and childlike and altogether attractive. The skirt is straight and the simple full blouse is finished with a frill.
 For the 12 year size will be needed, 4$s yards of material 36 inches wide, 4 yards A, with 812 yards of insertion and 10 yards of ribbon.
