PENSIONERS WILL RE CARED FOR BY
 STATE AS USUAL
Auditor Oliver Writes County Clerk Nichol No
 Cause for Worry.

That all Confederate pensioners ir Arkansas will receive their pension money in September. as in former years, was the official announcement by Hogan Oliver, auditor of state, ir letter received yesterday by County Clerk c. M. Nichol.
 The letter is as follows:
 Newspaper reports to the effect that the last legislature failed to make the usual provision to pen the pen sioners will no doubt create an i'm pression in the minds of pensioners that they will be deprived of their annual warrants. and it is for this reason that it is deemed best to ad- wise them at once that no delay or interruption will occur. and that they will receive their warrents from this office on usual time. in September.
 Through oversight. the pension ap- propriation measure was not finally passed by the lower house cf the 1917 general assembly, but arrange ments will be perfected by the state board of pensioners to take care of the situation and provide for the Confederate pensioners as formerly.
 "Please convey this information to all pensioners ill your county. in order that no uneasiness may arise
 Matter Is Arranged.
 Little Rock, May 22.-That it was not necessary for the 1917 legislature to appropriate funds raised by special taxation for Confederate pensions was the decision reached Tuesday morn ing by Governor Brough, other state officials and bankers appointed by Ed Cornish, president of the Little Rock clearing association.
 Hogan Oliver. state auditor, will issue the pension warrants and K. G. McDaniel, treasurer, will cash them the same as if a legislative ap- propriation had been made. accord ing to the conclusion reached at the conference.
 The decision was reached, Governor Brough said. on the opinion of the supreme court in the suit of Senator Edmondson against former Auditor Dickinson, involving the common school fund. It was held that it was not necessary to appropriate the con- mon school fund, he said.
 The proposal that the warrants could be issued and cashed was ad- yanced by Col. T. c. McRae of Pres colt. member of the bankers com- nlittee, who cited the supreme col't decisions having bearing on his con- tention. It was unanimously agreed. Governor Brough said. that the de- cisirhs were applicable to the pension fund

Ihere are more skirts Of sports silks

materials. The sports silks in one

AS for blouses we may witness a /
revival Of the garden frock, which
took SO strong a hold a summer or so
ago. One Of these recently seen was
quite different from the smock as we
knew it last summer. It was of tango
red crepe, long and loose, and slipped
On over the head. It was SHRED at the
neck and at the shoulders along an oval
line, which was emphasized by pip
ing Of yellow crepe trimmed with wool
embroidery. The smock hung unbelted
over the skirt to the knees, after the
manner Of most garden smocks The
red and yellow combination in this
smock showed the influence of the In

embroideries viii, in all probability,
take very well. Parasols and bags to

TO ERECT ARTIFICIAL COAL FAC

FUEL PRICES
(By United Press)

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The first Ameri-
can factory for the manufacture OF
Hartifcial coal'' in commercial guam
titles may be erected in Chicago, men,
bers of the Chicago Renting Agents
association said today.
A committee appointed by the asso-
citation to seek solution of the fuel
famine menace, which has threatened
this and other cities all winter, has re-
ported that they have formula for
manufacturing "coal substitute' from
tar, chemicals, and by-products, at a
cost far below that of coal.
The committees report shows that
tests which they have made, show the
artificial product to be higher in heat
ing units and more efficient generally
than the mined product.

SKIRTS FOR SPRING ARE
TO BE NARROWER
New Sport Clothes Show Indian
Colorings
WOLFE T. DING FABRIC

NEW YORK, March 2.-Whatever the
forecasters of spring styles may dis
agree about, on one point they are more
or less agreed, and that is that skirts
will be narrower at the hem There
will be no flare whatever, and even if
some skirts are not actually narrower
they will at least appear so from the
absence Of the flare. Many skirts, how
ever, are appreciably narrower. They
measure from two to two and a quart
er yards at the lower edge. When we
compare these measurements with the
threeand courtyard skirts that were
worn last spring, it leaves no doubt as
to the change. From the Partisan op-
enings, which are now being held, we
hear that the narrow skirt is no longer
a rumor but a. fact.

A great deal of wolfe and muslins
will be used this spring. The counters

whether of cotton or silk.

Plain wolfe combined with linen in
matching color has been used in the
fashioning of some of the advance
spring dresses, and though unusual, the
combination is entirely pleasing. A
very pretty model was made with a
long Russian blouse Of wolfe edged with
deep band Of linen and having the
