with the vaudeville patrons yesterday and
last night when to capacity houses a

and bunch of comedy maidens that
pleased immensely. There are eight girls
IN this act and every one has looks ga
lore The feature of the act is the in
divldual work of each participant. and
the beautiful gowns that they wear dur

Dave Schooler and Louise Dickinson,
with their wonderful combination of mu-
sic and songs. draw general approval.

work was excellent.
Combining rare ability as a singer Of

Provost Marshal General Crowder isn't going to win as much military
 fame in this war as some of the gen
 erals who are leading the troops to victory in France. He probably will
 not get to France at all He is busy giving the generals in France the men with which to win battles and his job of turning a peaceful nation into war camp is bigger than any one job any general in France holds.
 In recognition of his great service bill was introduced in congress to give him the rank of lieutenant gen. eral. But he called off the proposed legislation but stating that he would refuse the promotion until some recognition Or honor is given to mcm- bers of the 5000 local boards who aided him in putting into successful operation the draft law.
 In his letter to Senator Chamber lain, making known his opposition to promotion for himself, General Crowder said:
 "I have long entertained the view that something ought to be done to recognize publicly and emphatically the enormous sacrifices these citizens (members of the 6O0o local draft boards) have made in bestowing the continuous and exhausting service that has been indispensable in car rying the administrative burden of the selective service system. The diff ficulty has been in devising a suit able reward. nation wide in it's appl- cation. and acceptable generally to those who have so participated. At the risk of being regarded as ungrateful to the propcsers of this provision (to promote him) I cannot bring myself to be satisfied that my own conscient- iously performed share in discharging that duty should become the subject of recognition so long as the far greater share of these builders of the National army remains without pub lie and distinguished acknowledment in the records of congress- These men, my fellow citizens, their tolls, their sacrifices and their achieve ments, are next to my heart. On this subject I frankly confess to deep sentiment-I hope that it will not be reckonc/ as sentimentality-a senti ment which would not receive unal- loved satisfaction from the bestowal of any honor, however generous, that is personal to myself only"

WALLACE DAVIS AND THE
 DRAFT !,

Wallace Davis of Little Rock is the son of the late Jeff Davis, who was prosecuting attorney, then gov ernor then senator. Wallace himself was appointed attorney general by ex-Governor Hays. Wallace still has fairly good hold on a few lines of politics, but just at present he isn't as busy with state politics as, he is with efforts to keep out of the army
 Wallace claimed exemption on the ground of dependents. The local board obtained evidence which result ed in Wallace being placed in Class one of the draft. The district board has overruled the local board and put Wallace in deferred class. New evi- dence was obtained and has been submitted to the district board which tends to show that Wallace should be placed in class one. The district board has not taken final action, but story in Little Rock newspaper says that Wallace will fight for deferred classi- fication.
 The case will be watched with in terest turnout the state. Many par ents whose boys have gone to the ar my want Davis case judged as their own sons cases were judged. If his re- latives are net actually dependent up- on his earnings then Davis should go to the army the same as thousands of other men have gone.
 The political power that Wallace inherited from his father should have no bearing whatever upon the case. altho it may have. Politics enters ev- erything in Arkansas, and one doesn't have tc strain one's ears to hear mur murings and the district board is get ting it's share of criticism. If Wallace is placed in a deferred class his claims had better be published far and wide in order to convince relatives of the thousands of men who have gone to war that politics didn't have something to do with it.
 We are taking a stand alongside of the Little Rock board that says Wal lace should be placed in class one, and the more that board insists that it is right the more we are convinced it is right. A Pine Bluff board had to fight like fury to get couple of Pine Bluff men into the army. They

 The draft isn't matter of political preference and political friendship and debts are not going to be paid by exemption from the draft of anyone, no matter if the draftee has all the pull in the world. The public and the fathers and mothers of the boys who went to war without a protest are not going to permit their sons to be sacrificed on the altar of political preference. They willingly gave their sons to help make the world safe for democracy but they are going to pro test if these sons have to be shot down to make the nation safe for slackcrs.

One lnch-1OO Miles.

Telephone experts declare that if a person speaking over phone holds the transmitter four inches from his 22O miles to the line over which he is conversing, says Popular Mechan- fcs Magazine. Carelessness in the man. ner of using a telephone instrument is one of transmission. The best re- suits are obtained by allowing about half an inch to intervene between the mouth and the transmitter.
