Pdthe Presents
 q Second Pl0D
Fear of Poverty" is the Second Gold Rooster Play Shown in the City-Tuesday.

If 1t IS true, as it is said, that over 50 per cent of the population of the United States is either wholly or par tlally dependent in old age, then the fear of poverty may be considered al- most universal. Taking this as a theme, Agnes c. Johnston has written a story which will excite wide inter- est. It has been produced as Pathe Gold Rooster play by the Thanhouser Film Corporation with Florence La Badie as the star, and it comes to the Gem Theatre on Tuesday.
 The cast supporting Miss La Badie in "The Fear of Poverty" includes Ethyle Cook, George Mario, and Ed win Stanley, and the picture was pro- duced under the direction of Frederick Sullivan, the nephew of Sir Arthur Sullivan, the famous composer.
 Miss La Badie, who already enjoys reputation as an actress of unusual ability, does the best work of her career in "The Fear of Poverty" since she is called upon to play double role amounting in fact to four distinct characterizations.
 She is poor young girl; then she is the same girl married to wealthy man, taking an active part in society; then she is seen simultaneously as a middle-aged mother and her spoiled young daughter. Such a part is a strong tax upon the artistic resources of the player and, that Miss La Badie is always convincing in her various roles speaks strongly for her talent.
 The story in it's later phases brings to mind that famous play, "The Poor Little Rich Girl" which was one of the biggest Broadway successes of re- cent years. In each a girl surrounded by all that money can buy is by req son of her wealth lonely figure.
 How the mother and her daughter are brought to realize that money does not necessarily mean happiness is told in a series of highly dramatic scenes The cast is excellent and elaborate settings and beautiful exteriors char, acterize a production which evidently received unusual care.

SENTIMENT FOR CONSTITUTION.
 AL CONVENTION

The sentiment favoring a new con- stitution continues to grow, and it is believed that another week or ten days will witness the passage of the bill providing for the calling of a conven- tion to draft it. The bill has already passed the Senate, where it failed two years ago, and is making progress in the House. Gov. Brough is back of the movement, and is urging his friends to support the movement. The only difference that exist this time are as to the representation, and that is a matter of detail rather than principle.
 The plan is to have an election of delegates on June 26, and for the holding of the convention during the winter months, beginning Nov. 19. The convention would last two or three months, because it's work would be for generations, and must neces sarily be made as nearly amendment proof as fallible man can make it. The constitution as finally adopted, would be submitted to the people for their ratification at special election, where it would be the only subject voted on, and ratification would re- quire only majority vote.
 It is an administration measure. Gov. Brough said in his inaugural message: "After a careful study of our needs and the conditions prevail ent in the state, am firmly con- vinced that Arkansas needs new gov ernmental garments and that the patchwork of the initiative and refer endum will no longer suffice to make some of our trreadbare political ne- cessities presentable.
 "The keynote of the present is ex- pansion, rather than contraction, pro press rather than limitations; conf dence in our lawmakers and public servants, rather than suspicion of them"
 The governor estimates that a three months session would cost not more than $70,000, which is $7,707 less thar publishing the l. & R. amendments in 1913.

WAS HE HYPNOTIZED"
By John Tweezer.

The famous hypnotist made few rapid passes before my eyes, placing his mouth close to my ear, the grea; scientist and demonstrator turned tc the audience. "You see, ladies anc gentlemen, the subject is completely hypnotized, and under my control; shall now proceed to question him.
 First, who are you?"
 ''I am a camel, not one of the ole humps you read about in the Bible but real live Arkansas camel"
 'In what respect do you differ from other camels?"
 ''In many ways: The old humps you read about, are larger, more TO- bust and better fitted for carrying straws. Their power of enduring thirst is greater, partly due to the peculiar construction of stomach to which are attached little pouches cap able of storing up water for use when journeying across the desert. But when the legislature drew the specifi- cations and plans of the Arkansas camel, it left off the small pouches and the upholstering, leaving nothing but the thirst"
 Do camels get cold feet and wheeze out an existence at an early age?"
 "No, some camels have been known to live hundred years in the desert of Sahara, now pronounced Arkansas, but that was before the drouth. Cam els are a rather passive animal, with much less intelligence than the horse or the legislature, but is very vim dictive when dry. Under ordinary conditions the camel can travel forty miles day, but when loaded it sell dom gets anywhere"
 The hypnotist made few more passes.
 "Awakenl" he cried.
 I opened my eyes, stretched my limbs and arose.
 knew he couldn't hypnotize me.

GOVERNOR FAVORS GENERAL
 FISH AND GAME LAW

There is a growing disposition on +be mart of the more progressive mem- hers of the legislature to provide general fish and game law for the whole state, and to stop tinkering with the law by local legislation applying +o individual counties. A few counties have secured the enactment of special laws. but this is always done over stiff opposition, and in some instances this has been strong enough to lay the hills on the table or postpone them in- definitely. It is argued that no county has any more right to be ex- empted from the operations of gen. eral game law, than it has to be ex- empted from any other statute for the good of the state at large. The State fish and game commission is demonstrating what can be done for the preservation and protection of the fish and game, to keep it from exter- mination, and there is growing sentiment that it should be encouraged and upheld in it's work.
 Gov. Brough is in thorough sympa- thy with the efforts that are being made for the conservation of game On this subject he said:
 There is urgent need of compre- hensive law to protect the game, fish and fur bearing animals of this state, which constitute one of her greatest resources The legislature of 1915 created a game and fish commission, which, though badly handicapped by insufficient general laws, too many special acts, and lack of revenue to effectively police the state, has done good work toward the conservation of this natural resource. Statistics cov- ering the amount of game, game birds and fur-bearing animals killed and taken annually in this state have not been available to the commission as have those with reference to fish shipped out of the state, and it's in- vestigation shows that from one part of the state alone more than one mil lion dollars worth of fish leave each year for foreign markets. If the fig ures were known, the amount of game taken annually would be equally as- founding. At this rate of consump- ton it is manifest that the supply must soon be exhausted and that steps should be taken at once to conserve an asset of such tremendous value. The commission, after two years ex- perlence and careful study of the situation and the problem involved, has prepared bill to be introduced in the present legislature, and this bill should receive favorable consideration at the hands of the legislature"
 Senator Greenhouse introduced a general bill in the Senate, but this was withdrawn last week, and the commits slon bill introduced as a substitute. The sentiment is in favor of the pass age of the bill, and it is believed that It will become law, and strengthen the hands of the commission.

>INE SUM CLEARED BY

The spirited rivalry of the classes
of the Pensacola high school, and
the loyal support of their friends,
made the supper given under the aus
pices of the domestic science class of
the school last evening, one of the
great successes Of the year, every
thing having been disposed of by
eight o'clock IN the evening, and a
splendid sum realized for the class,
which will go for the purchase Of a
much needed refrigerator.
Most enthusiastic were the classes
in their efforts to outvie each other
in sales and decorations.
The senior table, which was placed
near the front of the hall, was beauti-
full in its motif of purple and gold,
which was carried out in a most ar
tistic manner. The white cover was
marked off in squares of purple and
gold, and graceful purple baskets
held purple and yellow asters, under
the soft light of candles, the effect
being most unusual and beautiful.
Like a picture Of springtime was
the table of the juniors, in its tones
of soft yellow, white and green.
In a great yellow flower pot bios
somed bright yellow daffodils and
broad bands of yellow and springlike
green ribbons were used on the table
on one corner of which was the class
shield with a purple ground with P
H. s. in gold, many yellow candles
under canary colored shades complet-
ing the artistic decorations.
One of the loveliest of the tables
was that of the sophomores, which
was exquisite in its appointments
