REORGANIZATION
 SENTIMENT GROWS

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-The senti- ment in favor of a constitutional convention seems to be growing in both houses of the general assem- bly,. The Smith bill in the senate. and the Osborne bill in the house. both calling for a constitutional convention are identical and have been agreed on by leaders of all de tails. The unit of representation has been the chief point of differences, but with this settled and the admin istration putting the convention bill first in it's legislative program, there should be no doubt as to the passage of one or the other of the bills.
 The great number of pending con- stitutional amendments, with only one more to be decided upon, will cause the members who have amend ments, and cannot get them on the ticket, to work for the convention.

has not struck responsive chord in
Switzerland, according to advices
received here strengthened by ex-
erpts of Swiss press comment re-
produced in German newspapers.
1t is to be noted, however, that
these excerpts are exclusively from
the German language papers print
ed in Switzerland. A summary as
complied by the semi-official Over
seas News agency follows:
Berner Bund, which frequently
reflects the Swiss governments
views, says: "In our opinion which
is certainly also that of the whole
Swiss nation, the Federal council
will not swerve from the strict neu-
trality which is the fundamental
principle and the vital question for
Swiss policy, in this respect, is in a
position different from that of the
United States"
Berner Tageblatt says: "The
invitation will be declined
with thanks by Switzerland.

terror of the continent, has a rela-
ton to the blockade question which

Will SAIL ON
SChEDUL time
St. Louis Will Leave Tomor-
row and Other Ships
Will Follow

New York, Feb. 6.-In the alb
sence of word from Washington, P.
A. S. Franklin, president of the
American line, announced today
that the sailing of the steamer St.
Louis would be postponed until
Thursday noon. Passengers were ad-
vised that they would be wise to
keep in touch with the passenger de-
partment.
Several cancellations were re-
corded today and it was said that if
the liner is held much longer she
probably will lost all her passengers
and take those booked for the St.
Paul.
The report that it has been de-
cided to place two six inch guns on
the St. Louis was widely circulated
in shipping circles. The company's
officials said they were unable
either to deny or affirm it, as they
had no information in the matter.
They were inclined however to
doubt it, as the vessels has been
coaled and loaded and it would en-
tail further delay if the navy de
partment, as reported, began to in
stall guns.
"The arming Of the vessels as
well as the report that she will be
conveyed are reports we have heard
several times in the last few days"
said Mr.. Franklin. what will be
done depends entirely on the State
Departments instructions.
Meantime passengers and freight
are being booked for St. Paul here
and the agents of the line in Lon
don and Liverpool are booking pass
engers and freight for both the
Finland and the Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia is scheduled to
leave Liverpool on the 10th and the
Finland on the 18th. Due to a dam
aged propeller shaft, the Philadel-
phia may be held back and the Fin
land substituted on the earlier date.
The White Star liner Cretic
bound for the Azores, Gibraltar,
Naples and Genoa, sailed at p. m.
with six Americans among her pass
engers. They are Austin White
lesey Of New York, first cabin; John
Barrows and Frank Silva, New
York, and three American born
children Of Italian parents in the
steerage.

American position"
Zuercher Neusten Nachrichten
says: Germany has exactly the
same right to establish blockade
as has England. Germany used this
right only after the disdainful ans
wer given by the Entente to her
peace proposals and to President
Wilson's note the Entente declared
First, Germany and Austria Hun
gary must be annihilated.
If President Wilson considered
that Germany in her claim to block
ade has exceeded the measure to
which she is entitled, then he could
have negotiated. But he did not
want to do so because he wanted to
break off relations and therefore
did the latter.
Basler Anzeiger: "This is a most
dangerous invitation and it is to be
hoped that the Federal council does
not accept it. We are not sea
power and have no interest to join
America. We have all the less in
terest in doing so since the United
States in it's former steps concern
ing the situation on the seas did
not ask for opinion"

CITY CERTIFICATES
WILL SAVE MONEY
City Will Pay a Lower Rate
OF Interest on In
debtedness

The main purpose of the council
in deciding to issue certificates Of
Indebtedness against the city is to
provide funds for expenses at a
lower rate of interest than the city
has been paying.
Up to this time the city has heen
borrowing On open notes from the
local banks, paying FOR: 6 per cent
to z IL per cert for money. The
city could not bow or r,s.rc
than a year on open notes, and the
practice Of borrowing early IN the
year and paf'.y off at the end Of
the year VIII =, the money comes in
has been follosycd
The new method will be to
issue certificates to the extent OF
about $4,000 at a rate of inter-
est lower thai has been paid. and

will pay the interest on the entire
issue of certifica: IS a the end Ct
each year, as well as cart Of the
principal. As the interest payments
decrease, the payment on the prin-
cipal will increase, and the average
annual payment will probably BE-
about $3.50 per year.

helpings and have our fill. Cabbages
are almost always plentiful-and we
need not feel that every cabbage We
eat is one less cabbage for the allies
for. apparently, the allies do not de-
pend on our cabbage supply.
Recently when the department of
agriculture urged us to eat more cab
bages the housewives were urged, for
palatability's and variety's sake, to
vary their dishes from the plain
boiled" which to many persons is the
only known way of preparing cab
bage for the table.
Perhaps you are fortunate enough
to have various ways of cooking cab
bage in your culinary repertoire If
you do not it is well worth while for
you to look thru your favorite cook
book and set upon some dishes OF
which cabbage is the chief ingredient
and make a point of using them from
time AS a matter of fact, there are
many persons who do not care for
cabbage plain boiled who find it de-
lectabie when cooked in another way.
1t assumes almost the deltcacy of
flavor of cauliflower when creamed
properly The addition of cream sauce
to any vegetable tones down the fla
vor to great degree and this is just
what cabbage needs for most per-
sons. The addition of a little meat
stock, cheese or a little bacon fat in
the preparation is also good. The
method of stuffing cabbage with sau-
sage meat or spice chopped left
over meat with onion and spices is
one that is usual in various parts of
Europe and is. well worth a wider
vogue than it now has in this coun-
try.
Raw cabbage is not agreeable to all
persons but if you and your family
are among those who eat it with i'm
punity then it is very useful asset
in the diet. 1t has the two desirable
characteristics of bulk and freshness,
and made into a salad is a useful sub
stitute for lettuce or more expensive
salad greens.
Cabbage au gratin is very good and
more nourishing than most cabbage
dishes on account of the cheese. To
make it, work up four teaspoons OF
butter or butter substitute with the
same amount of flour in a saucepan
and stir over the fire without allowing
it to burn. In the meantime, cab
bage or part of a cabbage should have
been boiled until tender. Now add a
half pint of the cabbage water and
make a white sauce of the flour and
butter mixture Cut fine the desired
amount of cooked cabbage. Add a
half cup of grated cheese to the cream
sauce and stir over the fire till dis
solved. Then season to taste with
pepper and salt. Now have ready a
| buttered baking dish and place in it a
| layer of cabbage, then a layer of the
sauce. then a layer of cabbage, and
so on till the dish is full. Cover the
top with buttered bread crumbs and
brown in a quick oven.

TENANTS WITNESSES
Colonial Hotel Roomers Testify in Suit
Against Crawfords.

Ten roomers at the Colonial hotel
formerly the Crawford flats, have
been called into the district court as
witnesses in a $2,56O90 suit against
L. M. Crawford, owner of the hotel
brought by C. F. Gustafson & Com
pany, plumbers.
Gustafson instaIled-a heating plant
in the hotel. The owner contends that
pounding in radiators has kept room
ers from sleeping and that in every
way 1t has proven unsatisfactory. The
purchase price of the plant was $2,50O
A payment of $500 has been made
Gustafson, in filing his suit, injected
repair bills and other items, putting
the total UP to s2,560.90
The roomers are expected to tell of
the pounding in pipes, charged by the
defense. and of other shortcomings
claimed for the heating plant. The
jury visited the hotel and while there
had the fireman put on a full head of
steam to ascertain the amount of
pounding the plant is capable of
doing. Following the visit of the jury,
the prosecutions attorneys went to the
hotel with an army of plumbers and
expert boiler men to learn whether the
investigation had been proper from
the prosecutions point of view.

for making a handbag Then get your
material. ,.
The old handbag is used merely as
a foundation for the new one. That
is. the old clasp is requisitioned-Wltn
the rest of the old frame A new COW
ering is made of the new material, and
this is slipped over the old frame and
fastened securely. If you wish to, you
may simply cover the old purse with
an envelope-like section of the new
material. Or else you may fasten a
lining bag to the old frame as big
or as little as you please, and put the
new outside over that.
1t is not always necessary to buy
pattern for such purse. You can
model the new cover on the lines OF
the old one. But there is another
kind of leftover purse. That is one
that is made with some of the mate
rial left over from a coat or suit or
frock. This, with the help of pat
tern, you can make up into very
attractive handbag or purse.
If you have a bit of velvet left from
a velvet frock, buy a pattern for bag
of interesting shape, cut the velvet and
then embroider it with beadS-either
steel beads or else colored glass beads.
Or else embroider it with a heavy silk
floss, in a loose, quick stitch. This
I loose stitch really gives better results
and, of course, in far shorter time
than a fine stitch.
You can use heavy silk left from a
frock in the same way
The strap handles of the bag may
be made of a folded and stitched strip
! of the ia brio of the bag, or else silk
cords may be used. if the silk cords
are used, big beads slipped over them
three or four-look very well and
give an individual finish to the bag,
for the beads may be as bizarre and
unusual as you like.
| The bottom of the bag may be fin
ished with a silk tassel or with some
| ornament made of the fabric. How
ever, unless you are especially deft a
| tassel or some other ornament bought
ready is the best finish

to be desired. Rarely If ever has so

here as that of Giuseppi Agostini, who
essayed the title role. He won enthu-
siastic applause from the audience

lie parlate damon" as sung by
Marta Melis. the Siebel of the cast,
was greeted with applause. Every
body had heard the air before, and it
was like meeting an old friend. Pietro
di Biasi, the 'Mephistopheles,'' has a
rich baritone voice and won his way
to the hearts of his hearers on his
very first appearance. The chorus
was not strong but it was harmonious.
