PINE BLUFF MEN
 QUICK TO OFFER FOR GUARD WORK
Forty-five Volunteer to Serve in Pine Bluff Com
 pany, Being Recruited.

| Active recruiting for members of
 the Pine Bluff company of the ArEan-
 sas national guard will be started 1 Monday, and will be prosecuted vigor- ously. with the purpose of completing i the role within a week or ten days. l The Well store building, in Main 1 street, between Third and Fourth, has been secured rent free, to be used as headquarters, and here Henry Roberts
 and his aids will direct the campaign Forty-five men have already volun- teered. and their signature will be
 attached to application blanks tomor-
 TOW. Delay in the arrival of the blanks and other stationery prevented enrolment of volunteers yesterday. Uniforms for six men arrived yes terday from the headquarters of the state guard, and these were used to
 outfit the men who have offered to de- vote their entire time to recruiting work.
 It is planned to enlist the aid of some of the city's oldest and most prominent citizens in the work, main ly to point out to the young men their
 duty in the crisis, and to emphasize
 the public honor and esteem of the
 man who volunteers.
 It is planned also to have a rally
 next Saturday evening, at which Gov
 ernor Brough will be among the men
 invited to speak.

Sixth and Eighth avenues, for the
 benefit of the members of the council
 and the board of public affairs, that
 they might be in position to judge of
 the qualities of the proposed new ser
 vice. The flood of radiance has been remarked. and it is believed by mem bers of the board of public affairs and by members of the city council that
 the new system will be generally
 praised by the business men and other residents of Pine Bluff.
 Improve Residence Section. Not only in the business section of the city, however, is the lighting situa-
 tion to be improved. The residence section will get about 100 additional lights, placed where they are most needed, and in addition each light will
 be of 60 candle power, instead of the 32 candle power lights now in use. The street lights now in the resi- dence sections, are fixed at varying heights, from 8 feet to 14 feet, but the new plan is to have all the lights fixed at IA feet above the ground level. Trees are to be trimmed where necessary, to allow the light to reach the street and sidewalk, or the lights are to be extended out farther from
 the pole, to give the improved ser vice.
 | It is stated that if the council ap- proves the contract, Pine Bluff will
 be as we'll lighted 9 city as any in Ar ] kansas, and at no additional expense to the city, while the city will still have considerable number of lights 1 to be placed at locations which will develop after the main system is in- ] stalled. As soon as the council acts | in the matter, the contract will he closed and the Pine Bluff company l will arrange to begin the actual work ] necessary, at the earliest possible 1 moment.

Proper Physical Education.

The purpose of physical education is, of course, not merely to build up the bodies of boys today, but to put into the lives of boys that thing, whatever 1t is, that will make the boy stay strong and able-bodied when he reaches man. hood. Such men-lovers of fresh air, of hiking in the wild, of, sleeping out under the sky-men who can both en- joy and endure, are the men who will make up q strong nation and not na- ton of weaklings.-Scouting

Scale of Vibrations.

We can take the scale of vibrations, beginning with the shortest wave lengths that have been measured-the gamma rays given off by radium, which are only about one-hundredth of mill nmeter long-and ending with the longest known electromagnetic waves 10000 meters or more in length-and arrange them in scale of octaves like the musical scale. In the Scientific Monthly, Prof. David Vance Guthrie of the Louisiana State university says they will cover just about forty eight octaves, of which the rays that are visible to our eyes comprise but one.

Grandmother said little boys didn't need watch fobs,. but he could have the cents for pencils or some thing useful. He was quiet for q few moments, then in much injured tone of voice said: "Grandmother, you are not as friendly as you used to be be- fore you went away"

Meteorites.

Among the collection shown in the new building of the National museum at Washington is a remarkably fine exhibit of meteorites. It includes con- plete meteorites ranging in size from the merest pebbles to great boulder like masses, and casts reproducing giant forms like that of Bacubirito, which has been estimated to weigh 25 tons and still rests where 1t fell in Mexico.

Destructive She'll Flsh.

In the tropics rock-boring and wood boring sbell-flsh are among the great est natural agents of destruction in tho shallow waters of the sea. It was not until the builders of iron ships launched tue present navies of peace or war upon the deep that the hulls of vessels moored for any time in harbor were safe from their attacks. The shells of these molluscs are often not at all obviously adapted for bor- ing. Frequently they are very thin. looking almost like hardened paper. Yet they bore through teak or cak, hardened clay, chalk rock and con- crete breakwaters.

The Denarius.

The denarius, translated penny. was Roman silver coin in the time of Jesus and his apostles. It was the principal silver coin of the Roman commonwealth From the parable of the laborers in tho vineyard, in the twentiath chapter of Matthew, it would appear that a denarius was then the ordinary pay for q days labor.

HOW TO BE RID OF
CHRONIC DANDRUFF

Tie only way TO get rid Of disgusting,
untidv dandrufr is to correct its cause.
Shampooing merely cleanses the scalp
for few days, then the scales form
again as thick as ever.
To destroy the dandruli germ and gel
rid of the daEdruff for good, part the
hair and apply little of the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare scalp
and rub il in until absorbed. You will
surely be amazed at the result OF even
one application, for your hair and scalp
will look and feel 100 per cent better.
Only few days massage with Partisan
Sage should be needed to destroy the
germs that cause dandruh' to form. The
scalp becomes healthy, the hair VIII
grow better, show more life and vital
itv and YOU should no longer be troubled
by dandruif. Faded, duh or lifeless hair Is
quickly restored by this simple process
