Policeman Copied the Name.

A throng of boys gathered in front of a bakery and became involved in an argument over the ownership of baseball bat. Their method of arguing involved throwing something else, and 50 before things were nicely settled the bat went crashing through the bals. cry window. A policeman arrived 9 :. ter the boys had fled and inquired re- garding the breaking of the glass. One of the waitresses explained all about It. In such cases policeman must obtain the name of the person inter- viewed and file his report at the police station. When the desk lieutenant read 1t he was amazed to learn whr had given the policeman the informa- tion. The report read: Charlotte Russe. when-seen, said" The police man. after the intersi Jew, had copied what he believed tO be the owners name from sign In the window.

SfOO,OOO WORTH OF
 NEW MONEY IN CITY
National Bank. of Arkansas Officials
 Busy Yesterday Signing $10 and go Bills.

Most people would say they'd never tire of signing their names to good money-$10 and $20 bills--but If you'll take the word of the president. vice presidents and cashier of the National Bank of Arkansas it is a tedious and tiresome task. They speak from experience too. For yes terday the National Bank Of Arkan sas received its first issue of cur rency-money printed for the bank by the national treasury department, and sent here for the signatures of the bank officials and for circulation. There was s100.00O worth of unsign- ed currency in the shipment, there being 5000 pieces Of money in de- nominations of $1O and $2O.
 President C.. H. Triplett called for help, and obtained the aid of L. w. Clements and H. Bringman. vice pres idents of the National Bank of Arkan- sas. but Cashier w. c. Hudson will have to affix his signature upon each bill. The law requires each piece of currency to be signed by the presi- dent or vice president and the cash fer of the bank by which the money is issued.
 The issues of national bank notes are protected by bonds deposited with the United States government. The purpose is to increase the supply of money. There Is just $100.000 more in actual currency in Pine Bluff to- day than there was Friday, without counting the money that came in for cotton and other products shipped from Pine Bluff.

Washington, Nov 10.-The first hunger strike in the American agita- ton for votes for women is under way.
 Alice Paul, national chairman of the woman's party, now doing a seven months sentence in jail here fer picketing the White House, is the striker.
 So far the jail officials are taking the strike calmly and waiting for Miss Paul to get hungry enough to eat Forcible feeding has not been discussed But inasmuch as Miss Paul made somewhat of record for herself as a hunger striker in an English jail several years ago, head quarters of the woman's party is quite confident she will give the prison officials surprise if they ex- pect her to yield quickly.

American Distaste for Privacy.

=. The great novelist or the great com. poser can afford a telephoneless-, hut pr flat, and so gain enough peace and quiet to think. Plain Americans must have the telephone at their elbow day and night or go out of business-so- cially as we'll as commercially. The joyousness with which Americans have welcomed the telephone to their cars and lips no doubt flows in part at least from our national distaste for privacy. We don't pull down. our shades at night and we hate hedges and fences. If open plumbing is not an American invention, it ought to be. On any future shield of these United States the tile bathroom and the tele- phone instrument ought to share the glory.-Exchange

InPORTANT BASEBALL
 MEETING UNDER WAY
Future of One or More Minor League to Be Decided at Louisville
 Conference.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 10-Baseball men from East and West are arriv- ing here for series of meetings which will be held during the coming week and the importance of which to all those interested in the game can scarcely be overestimated. Before the meetings are concluded it is ex- pected that a definite decision will have been reached regarding the fu- ture of one or more of the prominent minor leagues.
 The national board of arbitration is scheduled to hold its meeting Mon day, and on the same day the magnates Western league will confer in their annual post-season sessions. These meetings will be followed on Tuesday by the annual gathering of the Nation al association of professional baseball clubs, which is the governing body of the minor leagues. At this meeting the big subject of discussion will be the effect of the war on baseball and the policy the clubs must adopt in the eveht the draft continues to rob them of their star players.
 For all of the minor organizations, Without exception, the season recently closed has been most disastrous one financially. For this reason some radi- cal changes in policy must be agreed upon if the leagues are to start their pennant races in 1918.
 Most interest centers in the annual meeting of the American association. With the last pennant race one of the best ever staged in the history of the organization, the season nevertheless ended with the balance on the wrong sids of the ledger for practically all of the clubs making up the circuit. Re gently there have been well-defined re- ports that three or four of the clubs plan to withdraw and merge with cer- Gain clubs in the International league. It is expected that this rumored move ment will either come to g definite head or be given it's final quietus when the officials and club owners come to- Eether in this city,

PLOT TO ESCAPE FROM PENITENTIARY
 y IS FRUSTRATED

Little Rock. Nov. 10.-Guards at the penitentiary have been. doubled about the death cell occupied by Carl Lew IS, held for safekeeping for robbery of the Bank of Huttig, and Chess Kelly. under sentence to be electrocuted Jan uary 12 for the murder committed in Jackson county following the discov- cry of revolver, and a tip that a wholesale jail delivery had been plan A tip was given officials last Sum- day that break for liberty was plan ned for Sunday night, Guards were redoubled. and every precaut;on taken to meet the threatened outbreak. These preparations evidently convinced the plotters that their plans were known. and nothing developed that night.
 The death cell is under the stock ade. and Monday morning all prison CTS were marched out of the stockade and searched, but nothing was found. In searching the death cells, however, 8 .38-calibre Colts revolver, fully load ed, was found hidden in the death cell occupied by Kelly and Lewis. Each man denied most strenuously any knowledge of the presence Of the weap- on. A box full of cartridges was found with the weapon. t/
 According to the tip given peni tentiary officials, the plot to-, break was widespread( and the attempt was to be made for a wholesale delivery, as well as the killing of any guards who stood between the prisoners and liberty. While it is' very evident Shat Lewis and Kelly were ringleaders in tho plot, no amount of investigation has made them admit anything.
 Investigation is being made as to how the pistol got into the cell.

shrapneI.


 Were the average layman able to grasp the staggering complexities of chemical and mechanical details in- volved in the making of shrapnel shell he would be amazed. For in- stance, one hundred and seventy gauges are required to manufacture the combination time and percussion fuse for %-inch shrapnel. The powder used must have the correct burning time or the explosion will occur too soon or too late. It is impossible to obtain two powders with the same burning time, hence the burning time has to be determined on each lot of powder. This formally required one and one-half hours; now it takes Ave minutes. Likewise, the time consumed in blending powders has been reduced From 16 hours to 15 minutes.-Popu- lar Science Monthly
