MEATLESS-WHEATLESS DAYS
 ADOPTED'ALL OVER STATE

Little Rock, Dec. l0-The wheatIess and meatless day program is being adopted all over the state, and is meeting with the patriotic support of food purveyors in home and hotel
 The State Council of Defense has gone on record as declaring that any individual, firm or corporation that refuses to abide by the food regula- tions of the federal food adminstra- tion is unpatriotic Some members would have made the condemnation even stronger. Mir. Hoover clearly demonstrates that this method of con- servation will enable America to par tially meet the needs of the allies. Arkansas will do it's part, and the pro- portion of slackers in this state will be found very low. With thousands of men bearing arms for the govern ment. it becomes a personal matter with the people of Arkansas, and they will be found ready to respond at all times to the requirements of the government.

OFFERS SHORT COURSE ..
 IN HOME ECONOMICS

Fayetteville, Dee. 10.-In order that the people of Arkansas may be in a better position to cooperate with the federal government in the conser- yation of food and in order to bring extension workers in closer relation ship with the State University. the de- partnent of home economics of the College of Agriculture will offer a four-wcaks short course for home de- montration agents and others inter- ester in this work, starting Jan. r.
 While home economics agents have met here before for conferences, this will ta the first time that they will be provided with systematic course of study It is hoped that the short course for home demonstration agents may become an annual feature. AL though the work is intended primar- fly for demonstration agents, other women who are interested in the sub iect will be admitted to the classes.
 The chief emphasis in the course will be placed on foods and cookery and will include extensive laboratory practice with foods grown on the aver age Arkansas farm. The course will conform rigidly to the program of the federal food administration. In addi- tion there will be courses in bacter- iology, hygiene, gardening, care of poultry, house decoration, nursing and first aid.

PRICE FIXING
 MUST BE EXTENDED
Far Greater Powers Over BuSi- ness Are Necessary to Protect Citizens From Unfair Trade Practices and PrOfteering.

Washington, Dee. 12.-Price fixing must be extended to many other pro- dpcfs than fuel and food, the Federal Trade Commission declared in it's an- nual report submitted to Congress. Far greater powers over business are necessary if the government is to set for the protection of it's citizens from praaaering and unfair trade prac- iicez the commission asserted. It re- commended also:
 An investigation of trade associa- tions0 suspected of prompting price boosting campaigns among members: .ua attempt to unscramblc the petroleum industry passage by Con gress of the Webe export bill.
 "The commission is particularly of the opinion" the report read, that price-fxing by authority of alw should be exercised with respect to the iron and steel industry, for which a bill has been introduced in the Senate. Equally important is the regulation of the distribution of raw materials and intermediate products in the in- dustry affected and of the distribution of the final products to the consumer" ;"
 The commission declared the pur- pose of these laws would be defeated if existing contracts, largely based on inflated war prices, were allowed to continue.
 Trade associations are declared to engage in activities tending artfic- ia'Iy to control prices and the channels of distribution" Making public all the records and files of these associa- tiors is recommended as a remedy.
 More effectively to checl, the mon opo'ized' petroleum industry, the commission suggested laws to abolish common stock ownership in corpora tions which have been members of a Combination dissolved under the Sher- man antitrust law and legislation which would make the owners of stoca in naturally" or potentially" competing companies responsible for any acts which the various companies which they controlled performed to prelpnt ronnati+iop
 The petroleum industry at present IS declared to be conducted by a num- Der of separate corporations "owned by small body of capitalists which do not compete.

BASEBALL-SPORTS OF ALL soRTs-BOxNG~
EDDIE clcOTTE STEADIEST OF
WHITE SOX PITCHERS
BY Mark Shields


Eddie cicotte is getting along in
years and his major league career
covers an extended period, but the
little knucxle ball cUrver is at pres
ent time one of the best bets the
White Sox have. Unfortunately, his
age and small stature may prevent
him working every fourth day on the
mound. He needs more rest than
the majority of the South Side hurl-
ers. But on the days he does per-
form the opposition can be assured Of
a regular battle.
For Eddie is a pitcher with control
and brains. Many pitchers have more
natural stuff on the ball than CiCOtte
and some of them are right on the
South Side. But they haven't the
mental qualifications to make them
as effective as CicOtte. To beat the
Browns yesterday he was forced to
pitch carefully, for several times he
was in a hole. At the critical mo-
ments he put the ball across the
plate, but never over the center and
never where the alien batters ap-
peared to desire it.
Were Eddie more powerful physi-
calIy he would be an ideal rescue
pitcher, for he has unlimited conf
dence. It makes no difference to him
whether he inherits from another
pitcher a set of stocked bases. He
pitches with cold nerve. Should
some Of the other men come to form
in short order it is possible CicOtte
will be held in reserve as a Iifesaver.
This was the role Reb Russell played
last year, but the Texas southpaw
needs considerable rescUing himself
this spring.
Good baseball has so far been inn
possible on the South Side, not only.

Legends of Polar North.

The polar North is filled with weird
imaginative legends, but perhaps the
most imaginative is the theory of the
north Greenlanders recently studied by
European ethnologists. concerning the
controlling power of the universe.
This, they believe, is woman, known
as the Old Woman of the Sea. Accord
ing to Hartley Burr Alexander "once
she was a mortal woman petrol
wOOed her with enhancing song and
carried her to his home beyond the
sea. When her relatives tried to res
cue her the bird raised such a storm
that they cast her into the sea to save
themselves. She attempted to cling to
the boat, but they cut off her hand and
she sank to the bottom, her several fin
gers being transformed into whales and
seals of the several kinds. In her
house in the depths Of the sea Ner-
rivik dwells, trimming her lamp, guard
ed by terrible dog, and ruling over
the animal life Of the deep"

But Times Have Chanued.

Nassar college, the pioneer American
institution for the higher education of
women, was founded by Matthew Vas
sar. wealthy Poughkeepsie brewer.
EavinS accumulated fortune, and
being without children. Matthew Vas
sar decided to devote the greater part
of his wealth to the establishment of
some public institution. 1t was at the
suggestion of his niece. Miss Booth, a
successful teacher of girls. that he was
induced to found college for young
women, for which he gave $4OS, 900 in
1861. and other sums aggregating as
much more before his death and by be-
quests. When Vassar was opened the
institution was denounced by many
women and numerous clergymen. who
proved to their own satisfaction that n
college for women was an insult to
God! One prominent woman said: "Of
one thing we may be sure-no refined
Christian mother will ever send her
daughters to Vassar college, The
mere fact that ii is called college for
women is enough to condemn it,"

Corn Saved PILGRIM Fathers

They were saved from "The Starving
Times" by the Indian corn which the
redskins had stored for the winter.
Indeed, the settlers wanted that corn
so much that they introduced the hith-

Indians. They stole from the caches
and cribs, practice of which, to quote
Capt. John Smith, ''the Indians griev.
ously complained" Civilization came
to its own on this continent through
corn not only in the East but in the
