AVOID ACCIDENTS ON ROADS
Intricate Electrically Operated Mech anism Installed by Two Big Rail-
 roads in Chicago.

A room filled with intricate, elec- trically operated mechanism installed at a cost of $1OO,OOO by two large Western roads on Washington street, Chicago, the junction of the two roads, has reduced to the minimum the pos sibility of accidents and injuries to the traveller.
 This room is the headquarters for the interlocking signal system in- stalled by the railroads.
 It is through this station that the lives of thousands are safeguarded as they go laundering over the tracks of the two roads, in daylight and dark ness. Through the medium of this new service the possibility of a head on collision is practically obliterated and the open-switch catastrophe be- comes thing of the past.
 The headquarters station Is connect ed with dozens of smaller stations along the routes of the two roads, and between these stations are both over head and track-light signals.
 Through the installation of the new system the forgetful switchman and the untrustworthy signalman become things of the past, and travellers may slumber in peace as they are whirled through the maze of tracks in the rail- road yards.

PRESENTATION Of
 MASONIC L0CKETS
Provide for Identification of Mem- berS in War, Presented to LeutS.
 Levine and Simpson.

One of the most inspiring scenes ever witnessed ill a local Masonic lodge room was experienced last night at the meeting of Pine Bluff lodge No. G9, F. & A. rM., when Dis trict Deputy Grand Master George B. Moore presented identification lock cts to Lieut.. Sam Levine and Lieut. Ernest M. Simpson, which they will wear throughout the war with Ger many. These officers are members of Jacob Brump lodge No. 160, Lieut.. Levine being worsnipful master.
 The lockets bear the name of the Wearer, the name and number of his lodge, and will identify him as a Ma son wherever he may be.
 " Mr. Moore made Q beautiful pre- sentation speech which went to the heart of every man present.
 Twenty ]G :cts, which were made at the orde of Jacob Brump lodge, of which number eighteen are for members who are liable to the draft service.
 The meeting was largely attended. Edwin Loosely, Jr., received the master mason degree under a special dispensation granted on account of his having been accepted in the Unit ed States army.

New Laws Become Effective
 With Opening of School Term
Compulsory Attendance Act and Statewide Uniformity of Books Considered Epooha in Their Import
 to Education in Arkansas

Beginning with the fall term of the public schools two new and to some extent revolutionary laws will become effective in the educational system of the state. These are the uniform text book and the compul sory attendance statutes, which edu cators believe ale epochal in their re lation to the schools of the state The application of tilese laws will do more to standardiZe the public schools than anything else has done in many years and there has been some most important school legislation during the last ten years.
 The advantages If a uniform series of text books, interchangea ble among the districts of the state, and not subject to change at the w:lim of school boards, have been so thor oughly discussed that they are we'll understood. The system adopted by the commission after weeks of con sideration and examination, seems to have met with general approval, as no opposition has been heard to the text books chosen. No change will be made for six years, and in coun- ties where uniformity has previously been adopted, the textbooks now in use will be used until the contract expires, when the state adoption will obtain.
 Probably even more important is the compulsory attendance law, which becomes effective September l, appli- cable to all counties in the state. 1t has been law in some xounties for several years, but the last legislature made it a general law. It will re- quire every z1aild between seven and fifteen years of age both inclusive to attend some public, private or pa rochial school at least three-fourths of the sessions annually in which the child resides. They must enter school not later than two weeks after the opening of the school term. EX- emptions are allowed the following classes:
 Children mentally or physically in
 capacitated to perform school duties
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-08-24

Children who have completed the common school course of study n- cluding the seventh grade as out lined by the state superintendent of public instruction.
 Children whose services are need ed to support a widowed mother. It is the duty of the attendance of ficer to investigate all cases of non attendance and notify the parents anf guardians when the children fail to comply with the provisions of this act.
 The penalty for non-attendance halls upon parents or guardians maximum fine of ten dollars and 1 costs for each offense.
 It shall be the duty of the prose cutting attorneys of the state or their deputies to prosecute all violators or this act as in the case of any oth- CT misdemeanOr.
 It shall be the duty of the grand | juries to investigate all cases of non attendance at school and return llT- dictments in accordance with the evi- dence and the facts.
 It shall be the duty of all school boards to provide ample means of publicity, by posting notices or by public announcements, as to the date on which any session of school shall 1 begin-such notice to be given at least ten days before the beginning of the session.
 1t is believed that this law will be the means of greatly increasing the attendance in the common schools, and that it will eventually have the effect of materially reducing the de- gree of illiteracy in the state. Com pulsoly attendance prevails in nearly all the states. Arkansas being among 1 the last to adopt it.
 Directly in line with these reforms is another still subject to county op- tion-that of county superintendency A dozen new counties were added to the list at the May election-and when superintendency is adopted, ii cannot be repealed, but # it is de feated at any election, it can be re

Alkali in Soap
 Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, If you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham- poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any, thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every member of tho family for months.

 A. B. Hill. for several years prin- cipal of the Little Rock high school, will on September 1, enter upon his duties as state high school inspector. He succeeds II. W.

PRACTICAL HINT ON ECONOMY
esting Suggestion to Employees on Use of Pencil Holders.

An interesting suggestion of econ- omy has recently been proposed by an American railroad to it's employees, in the use of pencil holders. Ordinari- ly, a pencil is thrown away when it has been reduced to its last third, but if placed in a pencil holder it may be used down to the last ilAh without any inconvenience to the user. Each pencil is small item of finance, but on the amount of pencils used by that one company alone, the saving would amount to thousands of dollars every year.

PLEA TO EMPLOYEES
Necessity of Every Railroad Man
 Doing His Bit.
CHAIRMAN FAIRFAX ASKS AID
Cooperation of Each Person Is Urged in Appeal Issued by Special Com- mittee on National Defense
 Details Outlined.

In an appeal issued to the railroads of the country by Fairfax Harrison, l chairman of the special committee on national defense of the American Rail- way association, the cooperation of each employee is urged. This includes every person in the railway service, from the presidents of roads to track and construction laborers.
 The necessity of every man doing his bit in order to help bring the great war to a speedy termination was point ed out by MT. Harrison. He said that unless all who are engaged in the great transportation systems cooperate loy- ally and completely the railroads are foredoomed to failure.
 1 Details of How to Help. ..~ He said that every time a freight handler puts extra effort in trucking 1000 pounds more a day in loading q car, he will have aided just that much in bringing the war to close, as will be the case every time locomotive crew adds 15 miles day to the run ming power of their engine. l He told the crews of the engines that it is, more so now than ever before, their duty to do all in their power to keep their locomotive out of the repair shop. | According to the appeal, 15 per cent of the locomotives of the country are in the repair shops or undergoing re- pairs at the present time. It is said this number could be reduced 50 per cent by closely carrying out the sug- gard, putting back into service approx imately 3,325 locomotives. Reduce Time of Loading.
 The average time consumed by ship. | pers in loading and unloading freight cars is about four days, according to 1 figures. By reducing this time day, or even halliday, each car can go that much farther in doing it's work toward carrying supplies to points where they may be needed by the ar mics of the United States and its d. lies.
 | According to statistics, there are about 2,575, ,O0O freight cars in the Unit ed States, of which 167,OOO are nor mally under repair. By proper coop eration and quick repair work 64,OO0 more of these cars could be put into active service.
 Shippers are urged to see that cars loaded by them are filled as far as pos sible to their capacity. If every car is filled there will be that many more cars in service. As on an average only 43 per cent of the total freight space is utilized, the remaining 57 per cent Is wasted.
 Cooperation between the railroads and the shipping and commercial or ganizations of the country was advised in the appeal.

Rsssocks for FootralIs.

Hassocks as substitutes for metal footrails are finding their way into
 many car bodies designed more par ticularly for the use of women. The
 light-colored shoes of the moment are
 largely responsible for the change.
 Metal rails frequently stain them and hence are ill disfavor, though in win ter something of the kind under the
 guise of a heater is much to be de- sired. '
