PLAN FOR ROADS
President Wilson Leans Toward
"RegiOnal Director"
VIII Give Congress Time To
Work Out Details.

Washington, Dec 5.-President
Wilson leans toward the regional di-
rector plan of railroad control as a
solution of the problem he put up to
congress in his message Monday.
He will give congress ample time
TO work out legislation, solving the
problem and will not turn the roads
back to private control unless con-
gress fails to move within the twenty
one months after peace, fixed by law
as the limit of government control.
These statements were made today
by fSenator Smith, South Carolina,
chairman of the senate interstate COM
merce committee. He had a con-
ference with President Wilson few
hours before the latter left Wash
fngtOn to go abroad.
1T is my purpose" said Smith to-
day, "to take steps to get the New
lands joint committee together as
soon as other pressing matters have
been disposed of. This committee is
particularly well equipped to tackle
the railroad intelligently. 1t seems
unlikely to me that any congressional
action can come out at this session,
but as a result of my talk with the
president do not believe he will take
any action to turn the railroads back
unless congress fails to act within the
twenty-one month period"
The regional plan was suggested to
the Newlands committee by lawyers
for the railroads. Smith favors some
notifications of the original plan,
the essentials of which are:
Federal control exercised by body
sitting in Washington, such as the
interstate commerce commission. for
instance.
Formation Of regional corporations
or appointment of regional directors
to regulate locally. Ownership and
operation of the railroads to remain
in private hands.
Central and regional federal con-
troll to extend to rates, bond issues
and financing, but not to reroutine
or division of equipment
This outline of the plan contains
some elements of vital differences be-
tween the railroads and members OF
congress favoring the strongest fed.
eral control. but Smith intimated to.
day that he is inclined to adopt the
principle of the regional plan as q
basis from which to begin working.

VACCINE MAY BE
 HAD FREE HERE
Government Furnishes Dr. o. E.. Jones With Enough to Vaccinate Six
 Hundred Persons.

Dr. o. E. Jones of Newport, A. A.. Surgeon U. s. Public Health Service, has just received sufficient amount of vaccine to vaccinate 600 persons against typhoid fever and paraty- phoid fever. The vaccine was sent to Dr. Jones by the government.
 The vaccination is applied free of charge, there being no expense what ever attached to the operation for those taking advantage of it. pr. Jones believes everyone should be vac cinated at this time, as some typhoid is likely to develop during the sum- mer season.
 Persons desiring the vaccination may call at Dr. Jones' office on Tues days and Thursdays, between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock.
 This vaccine is only obtainabla in two cities of Arkansas Little Rock and Newport, and this is rare oppor- tunity, and citizens should avail them selves of it.

CITY MAY BUY FIRE TRUCK.


 Plans for the purchase of modern mor0r fire truck for Newport are be- ing discussed by city officials. The new equipment would take the place of the hose wagon and team of horses 10w in use.
 Few cities in Arkansas the size of Newport are still operating with the wagon and team equipment, and in every town where the motor truck has been tried out, great saving has been made.
 In the first place, the upkecp of a motor truck is trivial as compared with the expense attached to the op- eration of the present method of fighting fires in Newport.
 In other cities statistics show that n great majority of fires are success fully handled without use of water hose, damage being prevented by the use of chemical apparatus. There is . great saving in hose, and the, fact

SCOUTS TO ENTER
 CAMP NEXT WEEK
Thirty-Three of the Boys Will Be Taken to Walls Ferry by Scout
 master G. A. Hillhouse.

The Boy Scouts of Newport, thirty three in number, will leave next Sun day morning for Walls Ferry, twen- tv miles north of Batesville on the White River railroad, to enter their annual camp. They will be accom- panied by Scoutmaster Geo. A. Hill- house, and are looking forward to a week filled with rare enjoyment, to be made so by fishing, hunting, swim ming and the many other pleasures that come to the boys every year when they are turned loose to indulge in all play and no work-and it must be said here that Newport affords a mighty fine set of scouts, all manly, enthusiastic little fellows who take a great interest in their scout work.
 The reason the trip will be made to Walls Ferry next Sunday is because auto owners of Newport have volun- teered to drive the boys through, thereby creating a saving of railroad transportation expense.
 Walls Ferry affords splendid place for the annual outing. It is To- cated on White river at the govern ment lock No. 3, where the fishing, hunting and swimming is great, and the scenery unsurpassed.

A visit to the Tuckerman Branch of Red Cross last week was most inspir- ing. They have two nice rooms, and they have daily workers in each of them. Surgical dressings, under Mrs. Holt is getting the girls and younger women interested and the knittin gand sewing under Mrs. Joe Graham is do- ing splendidly. One of the noticeable things was the representation of the older women of the community-they knit too, but they have not forgotten how to sew and their example is worth initiating. There are no grandmas nowadays and one is never too old nor too young to help the Red Cross.

Local Red Cross Notes

Mrs. c L. Dague is contributing 5 per cent of her sales in toilet articles to the Red Cross Chapter in lieu of her sewing Her check this month amounted to $1.86. We need workers in both departments, but Mrs. Dague has the right spirit. She feels unsat- isfied unless giving time or money, and so she is offering the thing that she feels would be most helpful from her.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the work rooms of the Red Cross are comfortable, roomy and as cool as any place in town, we have been un- able to get out 5000 dressings week, when this chapter could and should have an average of 10 to 15,000. We cannot hope to maintain, or even bs entitled to a place among the Chap te> of the Southwest Division wno gre doing fair amount of war work with four persons day, even though some of them are very good workers. We have repeatedly called for more workers and have emphasized the fact tiat it is work that any one can cas- fly learn to do and that it is not .neces- sary to have taken the course in sur gical dressings given by Mrs. Keats in January. That WAS necessary. In order to guarantee the continuance and permanency of the work, all Chapters are fequiied by the Red Cross to open it with class ana these women constitute the organiz- ing, or guarantee of proper und. standing of requirements. Having obtained through the class stand ing and permission to have this work, we now are asking all women and girls to come and help us prove that more than 20 women of Newport are willing to make surgical dressings for our soldiers.
