The ignition coils commonly in
use are made for the voltage that
is obtained from FIVE or six dry
cells. If a greater number than this
are connected up under the mistaken
idea that there will be greater eff

the burning out OF the condenser and
consequent ruin of the coil.

Indians Best Walkers.

When it comes to feet civilized man has thing or two to learn from the dog eating Igorrote. or the pigeon toed American Indian, says Prof. l.. J. Rich ardson in q bulletin entitled 1.-The Sol- dier on Foot" and issued by the Uni versity of California.
 Becoming patron Of the long abused pigeon toed man Professor Rich. ardson says that the normal gait of man is exemplified by the American Indian, who walks with his feet set par allel or even with the toes turned slightly inward. In this way all the toes function and the lifting and pro- polling power of the foot is at it's maxi mum, he says.
 While deploring the army regula- tions requiring soldier to stand with his toes turned out at an angle of about 45 degrees, because of the ten- dency to cause aversion of the foot and weakness of the pOsterior arch, Professor Richardson is sufficiently op- timistic for civilized man tO~conclude that in spite of the inherited and ac- quired bad habits he can reform and 'learn to walk with fair results.
 Walking in tight shoes generation after generation is the cause of nearly all the foot troubles of civilized man, the professor says. This condition, he says, has left but single strong toe on either foot, the others being in some measure atrOphied.
 Frequent washing, trimming the toe nails and an avoidance of change from high to low heeled shoes are suggested as a means of obviating much foot trouble. ..

Canned Turtle.

The advantage CT New Orleans as a port was emphasized in the opening ot a canning factory for the distribution of real green sea turtles. With the ex- ception of small factory at Key West it will be the only establishment of its kind in America. The factory has been situated at Miami, Fla, but the exces- sive freight rates and lack of steam CT service to Central American ports led to its removal to'Bay St. Louis. It handles nothing but green sea turtles caught in Central American waters, and these are put up in four different forms-clear green turtle soup, thick green turtle soup, turtle beef in Creole style, and "callipe," which is the meat of the turtle taken from it's breast back and flippers. The factory turns out about 15.O0O cans day, or tota! of 100000 pounds year, including all products. There is also by-product called turtle oil, used incidentally Fishing Gazette.

3,666 J. 5. BEST
 IN KHAKI PASS
 THRU PINE BLUFF
Every Man Got a Glass of Ice Tea and a Cookie,
 and They Cheered.

We're the boys from Company D, Are we there, we'll l should smile, We've been there for hell of a
 while"
 And after that little left -handcd stanza there came yell of delight. They were going lover there" after a long grind at some division post. and they just couldn't keep it to them- selves.
 Company D was just one unit of the troops that passed thru Pine Bluff yesterday. Five troop trains carrying 2,666 husky khaki-clads took brief re- creation here in their trip from somewhere to Somewhere" They were the original Cup and at 'em.' They had more pep than any shaker extant.
 Applause and cheers greeted the youngsters as they marched thru the city. They were happy and their eff fervescent spirit spread thru the crowds of civilians who watched them with glowing faces.
 Where they came from doesn't mat ter, but it can be said that they were the smartest looking soldiers of the thousands who have gone via Pine Bluff. In the first rank of the afcre- said Company D were four six-foot- CTS. They were big enough to slay Germans by collaring them and bump ing their heads together.
 And those 2,666 boys of the first line of defense got some treatment in Pine Bluff. The Pine Bluff Ladies' Canteen Service were on the job from early yesterday morning. when the first train came in until last night when the fifth one passed
 At the new service station near the yard office in the Cotton Belt yards 2.666 glasses of ice tea were handed to the perspiring troops to wash down a handful of cookies "like mother us- ed to make" Each man was given a postcard and many of them were given magazines garnered from the Rotary Club doghouse at Second and Main streets.
 Did the boys like it? We'll, you should have heard them cheer the hard-working little women who were providing all those good things. Pine Bluff may now look for another bom- bardment of postal cards, declaring what good old town it is.

DEVIL WORSHIPING IN HAITI
Here the Savage Instincts of the Blacks Have Been Fed and Eos
 tered for Centuries.

Aside from warlike considerations, people have become so accustomed to being safe that it is something of shock to learn that only a few hun- dred miles from the centcrs of Amer ican culture there is an almost savage country. The islands or the West 1n- dies are, as a rule, the srbOdeS of en- lightenment where any one, man or woman, may travel without fear of molestation. "Rut S. :! is not the case in Haiti" says A. Hyatt Verrill in 1.-The Book of the West Indies" "Here the shortcomings the failures, the sav- age instincts of the blacks have been untamed jungles they were brought in reeking, pest-ridden slave ships to serve beneath the lash. Dcbased, un- taught, they rose, and in a resistless wave of black swept the dominating whites from the land. Then were loosened all the pent-up hatred, the undying lust for revenge, the SUD- pressed savagery of the African races, and slaughter, rapine, incendiarism, torture and debauchery stalked naked through the stricken land."
 Haiti has improved considerably since then, but there is yet much room for improvement. "The only wonder is that any vestige of civilization re- mains, that there is the semblance of rule, of industry, of order in the re. public" Among the barbarisms now prevalent in Haiti are voodooism and obeah, the former q kind of devil worship, and the latter q form of witchcraft. "In it's most fanatical form yoodooism requires human sacri- fees, which are accompanied by caff- nibalistic feasts and unspeakable or gieS. Obeah, on the other hand, is merely witchcraft with no re- ligious significance whatever, and in it's most malignant form consists of poisoning with deviiish ingenuity, and in its commonest and least virulent form amounts. merely to lot of non- sense, hocus-pocus and mummery."

He told the police he was on the way from Missouri to New Orleans. What he was to do in the Louisiana city he did not say.

the former pro-German "Fatherland' which since the United States became bclligerent has been known as Vier- cck's weekly. These letters were in- tercepted before the American de- claration of war. Since that time, &C., cording to Vierick's admission, he has sent mail to Germany thru neutral countries. This action according tn authorities is violation of the trad inc with the enemy act. The Viereck code letters, some of which were dated in 1916 apparently were innocent communications on family and per. sonal subjects but according to MT. Becker. they contained information of political condition in this country.
 Mr. Becker declined to say whether Viereck's letters since this country en- tered the war contained code mes- SageS.

 FIRE MARSHAL
Some Delegates Also De- clare War on the Ac-
 tuarial' Bureau.

Little Rock, July 26.-Thursday morning the constitutional convention after two hours of debate, struck from the draft the section recommending the creation of the State insurance commissioner and fire marshaPs o1- flee, upon a motion submitted by Judge Jeptha H. Evans, and referred a substitute section written by Dele gate Head, making the office elective, to a special committee of five, which will report the matter back to the convention.
 As soon as Chairman Scott of the committee on banking and insurance had reached the section defining the duties of the commissioner of insur- ance and fire marshal. Delegate Head of Miller began the attack by declar- ing that rates on the university bulld- ing at Fayetteville had risen 250 per cent. MT. Head demanded that the of flee be made elective or abolished.
 Delegate Banks of Dallas County replied to MT. Head and declared that in some instances insurance rates had been lowered. But MT. Banks in- sisted that the rate question had noth- ing to do with the fire marshalship. Mr. Banks favored the appointment of the insurance commissioner as the proposal section had provided.
 Delegate Moore of Monroe took the floor to say that the fire marshaPs office had been created by the fire in surance companies for the express purpose of having a prosecutor in cases of arson where they did not like to act. MT. Moore also attacked the Arkansas Acturial Bureau and instan- ced the difference between Texas rates and those of Arkansas. He de- clared that one clerk used to do in the auditors office all of the work that was now being done by the insurance commissioners office.
 Bureau Is Attacked.
 Judge Evans then moved to strike out the section and Delegate Head in- troduced his ubstitute section making the office elective.
 q am after the scalp of the actuar- ial bureau" said MT. Head, land I want to hang it on the fence. am al- so against these small fire insurance company lobbists.'
 OOIilc OIlc dShcO MI. l1cdu II CI!c legislature could protect the people.
 eff the legislature takes care of us in the future as it has in the past, then God help Arkansas" replied MT. Head. f@
 Upon motion MT. Heads substitute was then referred to the special com mittee.
 The rate of interest section in the article upon banking also led to a vigorous debate The committee: re- ported in favor of the interest section of the old constitution.
 Delegate Warnock of Columbia off, fered an amendment making the rate of interest void above eight per cent and fixing six per cent as the legal rate, with the forfeiture penalty at tached as in the old constitution.
 Delegate Moore of Monroe offered an amendment providing that all in- terest above eight per cent be void, the excess interest to go to the school fund.
 Delegate McRae of Nevada defend- ed the report of the committee. The Moore amendment was lost.
