THE uNIcAMERAL SYSTEM
Among the proposals for radical
changes J.. our organic law that have
been extensively discussed by the
committees of the constitutional con-
vention and by the members of the
bar association at its recent meeting
IN Little Rock is one that has been
submitted By c. z Daggett Of this
city, one o. the members OF the con. |
stitutional convention from Lee coGn- /
~. So deep.y impressed we're mem
bers of the bar association with the
suggestion that the present form of
our general assembly consisting of
two bodies and known as the bicam-
eral system, should be changed to a
single body, or TO the unicanleral
system. thai the association ordered
printed five hundred copies OF an

of Army
Bands Recognized
By War Authorities

In France, Aug. ga recent gen
eral order of the American army in.
creasing regimental bands to fifty
pieces and giving all bandmasters the
commission of lieutenant is under

organization of army bands and mu-
sic. Like good many things that
military theory had either abolished
or regarded as of secondary impor-
l'tance when this war began, music Is
10 come into its own again as a pri-
mary essential of soldering.
The commander in chief recently
sought the advice of DR.. Walter Dam.
rosch, American orchestra leader and
composer who is now in France, and
as result the army bands are to be
brought up to date and perfected. AT
present, army musicians also act as
stretcher bearers when action is on !.
1t is proposed to relieve them of this
duty, if the military authorities think
it feasible. and compel them to prac-
tice constantly. The band leaders
are to be examined as to their musical
ability and an effort will be made to
find the best instrumentalists in the
service so that every regiment will
have highly trained band.
The army authorities have learned
that music is big part of war. The
men want it and they appreciate good
music, as is shown by the big turn
Cut to the concerts. Good music is
a tonic to the units relieved from tht
front lines and wearied troops
straighten up inwardly and outwardly
when they are played into rest camps
after action. 1t also has been found
that to play the men out when the!
start for the front improves theil
morale.
Experiments are being made will
