CONSTITUTIONAL
 CONVENTION WILL ss ASSEMBLE MONDAY

Little Rock, Nov. 17.-The stage is being set for the Constitutional con- vention here Monday. The first con- test will probably be over proposi- tion to adjourn sinedie without or ganization. E. G. Mitch, delegate from Boone county, will be one of the leaders in the fight to secure this action, holding that this is not an opportune time for the writing of a new Constitution. It is understood there are several other delegates committed to the proposition.
 Although there is now fight promised to adjourn the Constitution al convention sine die after it has met and organized, it is still thought that the convention will recess after organization and appointment of committees, permitting these com mittees to meet occasionally to con- slider matter before them, reporting later with their recommendations The convention will probably meet again early in the spring, adopt what it expects to submit to the voters and provide for a special election at which it will be either ratified or rejected. Gov. Brough is sponsor for the special election feature.
 "I believe that it would be cow ardly to postpone the vote on the proposed constitution until the reg ular election in the fall.' says Gov. c. H. Brough. q believe it should be submitted to a special election where there is but the one question to be considered. This will bring out all the friends of the measure, and the enemies would come also or be denied the opportunity of voting, Tt is the trend of modern times to vote upon the constitution as a whole. but leave contested sections in such a manner that they could be adopted or rejected without defeating the major portion of the proposition expect the Constitutional conven- tion to do big work, and that Arkansas will leap forward under the constitution the people will adopt"

FAMOUS MINING
CENTER TARGET
FOR AEROPLANES

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 24-"The
pride which the Italians feel over their
recent successful airplane raid on the
Austrian village Of Idra is the due not
to the size of the place, which boasts
only about six thousand souls, but to
the fact that here is located one of
the worlds most famous mines Until
very recent times, when rich deposits
Of mercury bearing ore were discover
ed in our own Western states, the
mines of Idra and of the even richer
Almaden Mine of Spain produced prac-
tically all the quicksilver of com
merce. Even today. or at least up to
the time of the outbreak of the world
war, Idra produced more than 500
tons of quicksilver every year-from
one sixth to one eighth of the worlds
annual output"
These facts are set forth in todays
war geography bulletin of the Ma
tional Geographic Society which
adds:
THE quicksilver mines of Idra used
tn attract many American tourists ev-
ery season, even though an inspection
OF the works necessitated an eight-hour
(round trip journey by diligence
rail southwest of Leibach. In peace
times 1900 men are employed in the
works, which are situated on the right
bank of the River Idra about salt
mile from the center of the village.
The ore is connabar of unusual rich
ness, yielding six per cent quicksilver
The purified product is put up in
steel or iron bottles, each containing
Is pounds of the liquid metal, or in
sheepskins containing So pounds each.
About 40 tons of the annual output is
converted into pigment (vermilion) in
Idra, thus constituting a subsidiary
industry.
while the men of the village are
engaged in mining and in the reduc-
ton of the ore, the women devote
themselves to Iacemaking.
Quicksilver was discovered in Idria
at about the time of the discovery of
America but it was not until nearly a
century later that the government be-
gan to work the mines.
'Idria is 80 miles in an air line
northeast of Trieste and about 20
miles northeast of the Isonzo valley

I'm former times the Idrian miners
