crete for the new $780, 900 boulevard.

mile, which is $4,000 mile less
than the same kind Of a road costs in
California.
The board ordered Supt. John Mel

struction work on the river-front
drive without delay. AS soon as he
finishes building lake, dam and
drive in Woodard park the superin-
tendent will put his entire force to

John Hayden, N. r. Graham and
l.. X. Cone of the board have all in
spected the concrete drives in Cali

the conclusion that this was the most
economical and serviceable OF all
hard surface roads. They are now
working on the specifications. Com
petent highway engineers will be en-
ployed to lay out and supervise the
work.
Landscape Work.
The river front drive will be 22 feet

Voice of the Early Church.

Tell me, whence are you rich? From whom have you received? From your grandfather, did you say; from your father? Are you able to show, ascend ing in the order of generation, that that possession is; just throughout the whole series of preceding generations? l? Its beginning and root grew necessari- ly out of injustice. Why? Because God did not make this man rich and that man poor from the beginning. Nor, when he created the world, did he allot much treasure to any one man and forbid another to seek any. He gave the same earth to be cultivated by all. Since, therefore, his bounty is common, how comes 1t that you have so many fields and your neighbor not even a clod of earth? The idea we should have of the rich and covet- ous-they are truly as robbers who. standing in the public highway, de- spoil the passers.-St. John Chrysos- tom, Greek Church, 347-4O7. v

Weather vanes in France.

In France the original weather vanes were metal reproductions of knightly banners or pennants bearing their owners heraldic devices and set upon the towers, and, like pennons, indicat- ed the direction of danger, or sum- mons to victory, fight or a frolic, a warning or call, according to whether the day was to be fair or foul. An English, not q French, writer 1t was who first compared vane to 'the un- certain mind of a fantastical woman" The weather may be shifty, you see, but not the vane to its own duty, says London Review. Falsehood does not abide With it.. Wherever change in wind is important, it functions as q sentinel at the gates or as. 9 courier spreading tidings, Il silent, always wis ible Paul Revere.

Survival of the FIttest.

Modern scientists do not entirely hold with the Darwinian theory of evo- lution; still, thersstaano doubt that the survival of the fittest' has large modicum of truth; for. we can all see that those who are incapable of adapt ing themselves to the universal prog ress must become more or less fossil ized. Every big business gives us striking examples; men who, having reached a certain position, sit down and get rooted in their OWE little way. Then there comes~a new spirit into authority, modern methods are intro duced, all things are put in motion, the change has come and the fossil sits still, an obstacle in the necessary prog ress until he is either thrown out of the way completely, or moved to a side where he can do no damage.

Application of Term Creole.

The term Creole Is of uncertain ori- xinA and has been applied to different race blends and mixed municipalities. George ". Cable, native of Louisiana, which Is sometimes called ''the Creole state" and author of a novel entitled, *Old Creole Days" says: 'The term did not first belong to the descendants of Spanish but of the French settlers. But such a meaning implied certain excellence of origin, and so came early to Include any native of French or Spanish descent by either parent, whose new allegiance with the slave race entitled him to social rank. Later, the term was adopted by, not conceded to, the natives of mixed blood, and is still 50 used among themselves. Be sides French and Spanish, there are even. Tor convenience of speech, col ored Creoles but there are no ltaliaI or Sicilian, nor any English, Scotch ol Irish or Yankee Creoles." In the West Indies and In Mexico the term was ap- piled to whites of pure Spanish O. French extraction. but in the United States 1t was applied also to persons Of mixed negro blood.

Humorino People Isn't Pleasant.

Hunorino People Isn't Pleasant.
 "Humoring man" sounds like a pleasant and comfortable thing, but when one links humoring with the question of who makes the money, it does not seem very fiattering to the humorer or the humoree, says writer in the Woman's Home Companion. And what lamentable sight is that of the humoree, what deep inequality 1t implies and what an absence of any real respect O, understanding between two people in whose lives humoring IS part of the daily routine! When the one to be humored is a woman it may mean that man has been forced into the craven part of doing anything for the sake of peace. There are few concessions some men will not make to avoid domestic storm. Some un- fortunate men there are who even give up vital friendships, legitimate forms of recreation. and even their. own individualities in this unworthy cause.

and carried the ball over for Banton's second score. Houston failed to kick goal. Score, Benton 12; Pine Bluff 2. Pine Bluff received. Wilson was shifted to quarter and Collins went to half. There the fire works began. A split buck went for ten yards and then a pass to Quinn put the ball on Ben tons thirty yard line. Wilson un- corked another pass to Quinn who car ried to ball this time to the one foot line. On the next play Wilson car ried the ball over, but Quinn was off side and five-yard penalty was the result. On the next play Sorrells was called upon and he responded by fighting his way through the whole Benton team to the one foot line again. Wilson by one supreme smash carried the ball over. It ought to have been Sorrels' as he had made the score poss- ible after the penalty. But it was over, and plenty to spare this time. Qinn kicked a difficult goal.
 The game lasted two minutes more and just before the close Collins in tercepted pass from Benton and ran thirty-yards before he was down. led. The whistle blew and the game was over.

FAIRBANKS TALKS ID LARGE CROWDS
 AT LITTLE ROCK
Senator Kirby Joins Urging Support of U. s. by Buying
 Liberty Loan Bonds.

Little Rock, Oct. .26.-Former Vice President Chas. w. Fairbanks of Indi ana spoke here today at banquet at the Hotel Marion and in the after. noon at the Palace theatre in the in- terest of the Liberty loan. He was greeted at both places by large and enthusiastic audiences, and his address ses did much to inspire the people to subscribe more literally.
 "Invest or be taxed" is the conclus ion of the sitaution that confronts us, and that was emphasized by all speak CTS. Judge Jacob Trieber presided, at the Marion, and the great body of men and women present stood and drank in cold water toast to the president of the United States.
 MT. Fairbanks said that he was de- lighted with the spirit of splendid pa triotism manifested in Arkansas, and said that our people, with those of other states, must furnish the men and the money with which to win the war.
 Senator w. F. Kirby said the time had passed for discussion of the wis dom of entering the war, and now the paramount question is when it can be brought to a successful conclusion for American arms. He said congress had appropriated thirty billion dollars of American money and would soon have million American soldiers on the firing line and those at home must do their utmost to aid them in the cause of world democracy.
 IT. L. Remmel reported $2,177,500 eaahccr;hpd in Little Rock and Pulaski county, in it's assigned quota of $3,.. O35 ,000, and predicated that it would be over-subscribed.

In reply to the question whether or not the citizens can legally arrest de serters from the army, Lloyd English, adjutant general, sends out the fol- lowing reply:
 "The statute authorizing civil of f1cers to apprehend deserters shall not be construed as taking away the authority for their apprehension by any citizen under an order or direc- ton of military officer. The offer of reward for the apprehension and de- livery of deserter coupled with the act of congress, which provides for the payment of such a reward. is consid- cred sufficient authority for the ar rest of the deserter by a citizen"

As to tho Iron Aoe.

The best informed sources give the period from 20O0 to 25OO B. c. az mark Ing the transition from bronze to iron. Prof. J. B. Wilson, in an article in the Princeton Theological Review, presents pretty nearly all of the available evil dence on the subject. The 'irOn age'' seems to have begun earliest in Asia Minor, where iron was used for vari- ous purposes as early as 25OO B. c. The people of Nippur used iron knives and arrowheads as early as 200 B. G., and iron is claimed to have been in use in Babylon five centuries.
