JUDGEMENT AGAINST INSURANCE COMPANY
DISCOVERY OF DEAD BODY WlTH REVOLVER IN HAND NOT NEG
 ESSARlLY MEANS SUICIDE.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
insurance Company Also contended Attorneys Fee Allowed Was Exees- siVe, But Supreme Court Ruled 1t
 Was Not So in This Case.
LIttIe Rock

Little Rock
 That the discovery of a dead body with a revolver in it's hand does not necessarily mean that the dead per son committed suicide, was the rul- ing in the case of the Aetna Life In- suranee Company vs. Dan Taylor as administrator for the estate of Edgar F. Sears, on appeal from the Jeffer- son Chancery Court, in which an award of $S,000 as insurance and S1,- 900 attorneys fees was made to Mrs. Ella Sears. widow of Edgar P. Sears.
 MT. Sears was insured in the Act na company under an accident policy for $5,000, which by it's terms increas- ed a certain amount with each years renewal, until at the time of his death the amount due under the policy was S9,000. November 25, 1914, MT. Sears was found dead in Pine Bluff near a cotton platform, with a revolver Tn his hand. The insurance company contended that he had committed sui eide, against which contingency it had not insured MT. Sears. To support this contention the company introduce ed evidence that he had been in good circumstances all his life until about year before his death, when he had met with reverses and had taken to drinking heavily. Evidence to the contrary was introduced by the admin istrator, which the jury accepted, and gave Judgment in favor of the admin istrator for $S,000 and $1,O0O attor- neys' fee. The insurance company also eontended that the attorneys fec allowed was excessive, but the Stu preme Court ruled that it was not un- der the circumstances of this case, and affirmed the judgment for both amounts.

as small bays. 1t is often possible by careful designing, especially as regards their position, to give room for win. dow seats, etc, without taking any. thing from the good qualities of this type of house. The simplicity of in. teriors consists in the use of straight lines in trim. Fancy spindles, balus ters, holdings, door cases, window cases, columns and other fittings are replaced with trim which will carry out the idea of simplicity both in it self and in it's relation to the room.
 There is seldom any loss in real val ue by such change. The decorative scheme is often even more effective in it's simplicity than what might be ob- tained with elaborate treatment of de tails, and an air of dignity is also found in the simple treatment. Then again the fitting of odd-shaped trim runs the expense of labor up-the saving of which, in the simple treatment, may be spent in obtaining a higher grade

grace l in the simple, slow steps is, indeed really accomplished artist. So it is with the designer of homes-the much-desired quality of simple effec- tiveness is hard to attain.
 How is simplicity expressed in home design? In the first place, the general shape of the house may be made irregu- lar, with wall surfaces broken up into jogs which will endanger the builders nervous system in framing the roof and require a foundation outline of unde- scribable shape, or it may be made rec tangular in the main which will require only good, simple construction. The rec tangular house is much more satisfac- tory in the arrangement of rooms, the shape of rooms Is better, and there is less space wasted. In case 1t is de sirable to include special features, such

 Dr. .. W. Garrison, state health of fcer, who returned from confer ence at New Orleans, with field men and officials of the Rockefeller Inter national Sanitary Commission, said that the commission has offered to kansas by contributing amounts equal to any sums up to $500 raised by the counties for such work. Part of the donation will be trained men to or ganize the communities.
 Most of the work planned is hook worm prevention, and systematic cru sades against other soil pollution dis eases, but assistance also will be giv- en to anti-malaria units such as have been organized at Hamburg, Crossett and elsewhere.
 Dr. Garrison said that several If the states represented at the meet ing have made appropriation for the work, some of them as high as S100- O00 Texas recently appropriated S7O,000 for rural sanitation work Most of these states, Dr. Garrison said, are following the plan of carry ing on the work with one-third of the amount contributed by the state, one third from the county in which the commission. Such a basis for Arkan- sas, he said, would expedite the work materially.

classic orders find partial expression, but the American home is also influ- enced by modern styles of foreign countries. Inside and out, modern American homes show the marks of many ages. This does not imply that each home is loaded with mass of decorative detail. The really beautiful home is never overloaded with decora- tive features of an elaborate nature. It is in the simple features that the good things in all architecture are com bined in the American homes.
 The matter of simplicity has a spe- cial bearing upon the subject. AS the strength of Lincolns wisdom was founded in the force of simple expres- sion, so, with quite the same applica- ton to human understanding, the strength of architecture type is quite often based upon it's simplicity.

of windows provided. Each room is sure to be bright and cheerful. The house is rather simple in exterior de- sign, being in the main rectangular and having very simple hip roof without decoration other than the small dormer. The walls are finished with beveled sid ing laid in the usual manner with the exception of the broad belt which en- circles the house just below the sills of the second floor windows. The porch roof Is practically the only DOT tion of the exterior decorated.
 The porch has no rail and the floor is of vitrified brick. Two sets of French doors open from the wide living room upon the porch. The fireplace in the living room is built into the wall op- posite these doors. In addition to the light which is admitted through the doors, there are four windows which add to the general cheerfulness of the room. French doors lead to the din ing room which is large room having four windows. The buffet is built against the wall under window at the far end of the room.
 There is also an entrance into the house by means of a stoop and door leading into a vestibule between the living room and the kitchen. There are two little windows in the vesti- bule, one on each side of the door. An attractive staircase is built against the back wall in the little vestibule. Near the kitchen there Is door lead Ing to the basement.
 The kitchen Is practically square and is fitted to save steps for those who do the work in this part of the house. The cupboard is arranged in such manner that it's central portion is built below the two windows, making a handy work table where the most light is available. The sink is handily located in the corner of the room opposite the cupboard. The rear porch is essential ly another room since it is built as a closed-up porch which may have either screens or glass panel sash fitted into the openings in its walls. This porch will prove to be very handy addition to the kitchen. $
 On the second floor there are three bedrooms. sleeping porch and bath. A stair hall Is centrally located on this floor from which the attic is reached. In case only two bedrooms are needed for sleeping quarters, this plan offers a pleasant possibility in that the large rear bedroom and sleeping porch may easily be transformed into second floor living room with attached sun par Tor. There are French doors between the two and plenty of windows co make the combined rooms pleasant.

Governor Brough appointed Judge W. A. Goker of Monticello peniten- tiary commissioner to succeed J. A. Bradshar whose term expired a few days ago. In announcing his appoint ment the governor said:
 T have carefully considered this ap- pointment for several weeks. and have read all of the testimony and the report of the penitentiary investi- gation committee. I find nothing in this report, which reflects in the least upon the integrity and honor of MT. Bradsher, in his management of the Tucker farm, nor in any other trans action with which he has been con nected. l believe MT. Bradsher to be an honorable and loyal man. He has been, and l trust will be, my friend, and hope to honor him during my administration. In fact have al- ready offered him position of honor and trust in connection with my ad. ministration which I hope he will ac, cept.
 NY dctloh III appointing a new man Is to put new blood and added vital ity in the commission and to give it a new start. Judge Coker has been in official life in Arkansas for the past It years. He has been deputy sheriff, sheriff and three times county judge of his county. He has also been pres ident of the Sheriffs' Association and president of the County Judges As sociation and president of the Good Roads and Drainage Association of Arkansas. His appointment came a5- solutely unsolicited, and was indorsed by my political friends, representing every conceivable faction in the state"
