RECKLESS AMERICANS
EAT TOO MUCH SUGAR

After all American talk about the
sacrifices America is making for the
allies, the figures produced by Mr..
Hoover respecting American consump-
tion of sugar are enough to make
Americans feel uncomfortable and look
hypocritical. The plain facts are that
American consumption of sugar during
period Of distressing shortage has at
best slightly diminished. Each Amer
lean consumes over twice as much as
each Enghshman and almost four
times as much as each Frenchman.
Surely it is time to deal more drastic
ally with such anomalies-with such
overwhelming indications of a refusal
or inability on the part of Americans
to abandon under the shock of war
the wasteful indulgence of his ordina-
ry desires. Americans are the most

TO COMP pLETE RIFLE
RANCE BY JAN. 10



/ Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Of the
Engineer Regiment yesterday said
that he expects alfwork on the divis-
ion rifle range to be completed before
January 10, the date set lor beginning
target practice. Lieutenant Colonel
Thomas who is in charge of the con-
struction work, built the original range
which was used by the officers train
ing school at Fort Roots and which is
now being enlarged to accommodate
the division.
Lieutenant Colonel Thomas was one
of the first officers coming to Little
Rock when the training school was es-
tablished here, and was assigned to
the command of the engineer COM
pany. Soon after the company left
for a course in intensive training at
Fort Leavenworth, Capt. Thomas re-
ceived his majority and was made en-
gineer officer of the post. He was
promoted to be lieutenant colonel after
his assignment to Camp Pike.
The range is on the flats east of the
Fort Roots mountains, and when it
was first built for the use of the train
ing school a road was constructed,
connecting it with the post. When it
was decided to establish the division
range on the same site, a new road was
built from Camp Pike, which crosses
the Fort Smith road at Amboy and
connects with the old range road. The
distance to the range from Camp
Pike is three and one-half miles, cut
ting off four miles, which is the dis
tance by the county roads.
In addition to the targets, which are
being built at five distances and in
numbers sufficient to accommodate an
infantry brigade, two range houses are
being built and an administration
building, which has glassed-in obser-
walton tower. Work on the ranges is
being done by civilian labor, but prac-
tically all the road work was done by
engineer troops and the service bat
talions.-Arkansas Gazette.

The first step was to secure rooms
in which to work, and more commodi-

FIFTEEN FRENCH
ORPHANS ADOPTED

/ Since December /, the good people
Of Brownsville have adopted twelve
French orphans.
Humboldt has adopted two, one of
these being taken by the public school
Stanton has taken one, and also
sent generous contribution from her
public school.
Bells has also sent from the child
rewof the primary grade a generous
donation.
We are hoping that before the win
ter is over we shall have placed at
least thirty-three in this county and
in nearby towns.
The distinctive feature of our work
is that we are taking up Individual
children, trying to keep them with
their widowed mothers or n homes
with guardians, rather than in orphan
asylums, though we are also having at
present to keep many in overcrowded
asylums until enough generous hearts
are touched throughout America to
take them out and put them into the
more normal life of home. Indeed,
we have just begun in America-there
is much more to do. Our near aim is
to relieve the suffering children, and
our far aim is to help save France for
the future wonderful work she is sure
to accomplish, and also to make per-
petual the friendship of France and
America" A member of the French
commission, who is still in America
said to one Of. our workers recently
from whom we had personal letter,

HEADLIGHT la W

ENFORCED AFTER
JULY IS, IS WORD
States Attorney Issues
Statement to Cass Coun-
ty Auto Owners Today

Automobile owners in Cass coun-
ty whose machines are not equipped
with non glare headlights after July
Is will be arrested, according to a
statement issued today by A. w.
Fowler. states attorney. ..-. .
A number of complaints Of viola
tions Of the so-called Glaring Head
light law have been made, ac-
cording to the statement, and that
many automobiles are being driven
without proper lenses. ....
The statement requests citizens to
report vfplation. .a
The statement follows:
"A number of complaints have
been made to this office that the
So called Glaring Headlight law is
not being observed, and that a num-
ber Of automobiles are being driven
at night without proper lenses anu
some without any lenses at all.
"In 1917, an act was passed by the
legislature which reads as follo"s'
'It shall be unlawful to use on
a. vehicle of any kind operated on
the public highways of this state
any lighting devices or over LouF
candle power equipped with
reflector, unless the same De SO
desisned, DETECTED, or arranged
mat no portion of the beam Of
reflected light, when measured
75 feet or more ahead of the
lamps. shall rise above AZ lnches
from the level surface on Which
the vehicle stands under all con-
ditions of load. Spotlights shall
not be used except when pro-
iecting their rays directly on the
ground, and at a distance not ex-
ceeding 80 feet in front OF the We
hicle.'
instructions have been given to
all officers in the county to see that
this law is strictly enforced from
this time on. and all persons driving
automobiles without proper lenses
should see to it at once that their
lights are properly equipped, as, be-
ginning with July Is, persons Of
Tending against this law will be
placed under arrest. IT,.
'oThe purpose of the law is to
safeguard persons travelling on the
highways, and it is not fair that
some persons driving automobiles
should comply with the law and
others not. Several accidents have
occurred by reason of glaring head
lights, especially on country roads
and it is for that reason especially
that the law should be strictly OBJ
served. 1t is not sufficient that lights
are dimmed in approaching anoth-
er vehicle, If plain glass is carried
in the lamps. Owners OF automo-
biles having lights equipped with
lenses should test them to see Whe-
ther the light is such that it
will blind or confuse the driver of an
approaching car at night.
F"Citizens observing automobiles
driven with glaring lights should
take the numbers of the cars and
report to some public officer.
