 FOR AN APPROPRIATION
Large Sum Will be Requested oi State Legislature For The Maintc. Dance of Boys Industrial School.

The Board of Managers of the Ar kansas Boys Industrial school are making an especial effort to finish collecting all the donations pledged here in order that they might go to the state legislature with a good showing for the county when they ask for an appropriation. A large appropriation will be asked for, and this is further reason that the board wishes to have d clean slate when they go before the solons.
 According to statement from Mrs. Julia Railey, secretary, the amount of the board will ask for is about $1S7,G00 for this school and about $17,000 to establish a small school for the colored boys. These figures do not agree with the approximate figures which were printed in d previous article ill the Graphic. the former figures being too high.
 In discussing the request which will be made for an appropriation for the colored boys, Mrs. Railey said the proposed plan called for d a school located on a different site
 
 in executive functions, it would not be connected in any way with the present industrial institution.
 Taken Up by Rotarians.
 The subject of the appropriation needed for the school came up. it will be remembered, in the last meeting of the Rotary club. J. F. Boyse and Leo M Andrews made short talks in behalf Of the school, iMr. Boyse making an especial ap. peal for every one to prevail on the next legislature to grant an ap- propriation large enough to enlarge 1 the school. and another anEroproia- tion for maintenance.

REC0NSTRUCTION IN
 ENGLAND PROPOSES
 HOMES FOR S0LOItRS
Program Planned Proposes Construct. ion of Comfortable Cottages to Be Sold on Slow Payment Plan.

London, Dec. 31.-One of the un- usual plans suggested for bridging the transition period while England is
 being changed from war to peace
 basis is proposal that the governs
 fent should build houses and either
 sell them on long time payments or
 furnishing them outright, particularly to soldiers. England is wrestling with many of the same housing schemes that were put forward in the United States when thousands of workmen were called to |centers of war activities. In the opin- ion of Sir J. Tudor Waltere, member of parliament who has given much thought to housing, England faces a
 shortage of.500,000 houses in addition
 to her normal requirements of lOO,- 1000 new ones annually.
 Thousands in the building trades have gone into other work as all
 building operations ceased when the war started. Materials are at exhorbi- Itant figures or unObtainable. It is lmuch more difficult for prospective small house owner to finance con- struction than it was four and half yOdAo a6o'
 One of the plans suggested is that lthe government pay the householder the difference between what his house
 vii cost to construct immediately after peace is declared and it's estimated value five years hence.
 Any plan that will result is large ex- penditure of public money will be met
 with considerable opposition among members of the government. This was
 made very clear when a statement
 was made in the House of Commons
 chat the government should give all full pay as one means of solving the tremendous problem of changing Eng
 land from a war to a peace basis. At least one member of the government, referring to that statement, said that the government could not undertake any gigantic financial obligation in it's effort to bridge the trasitiOn period as quickly and efficiently. as possible.

OLD DEED FOUND
WITH FARM SALE
Original Grant For Tract of
100 Acres by Maryland
Governor Unearthed

Waypesboro, Pa, Sept. 19.-In the
sale of the C. L. Walter farm, near
here yesterday to Frank Neibert, a
farmer living near Greencastle, a
curious document came to light, the
original grant for the tract of 100
acres made by Charles, Lord Baron,
OF Baltimore, then proprietary gov
ernor of Maryland, to Robert Dow
ney.
The deed is dated March IS, 1850,
is printed and written on heavy

ter was made of wax or some
glutinous material and still shows
the imprint of the crest of the Lord
Baron. The tract was then in Fred
erick county, Md, but was brought
north of Mason and Dixon line when
that boundary was finally surveyed
and located in 1857.
1t was a part of "Blair's Forest, in
Conogochege Manor" The deed was
made in fee and common sacage,
with fealty," in accordance with the
old feodal tenures of the day. and
the consideration was four shillings
in sterling silver. or gold, payable
annually in two equal portions, one
on the feast of the Annunciation and
the other at the feast of st. Michael
the Archangel at st. Marys, the
seat of the Lord Proprietor. The doc
ument is still we'll preserved, though
having passed through many owner
ships in the change of the title since
1850.

Good Results Promised
Mr.. Porter illustrated his talk
with lantern slides, showing Pitts
Durgh before and after" He said
that at first it was almost impossible
to interest operators of boilers TO
consider smoke prevention. They
though it meant the installation of
costly apparatus and greatly in
creased expenses to themselves. Now.
ne said, they understand that it is
largely matter of proper firing and
that every particle of SCOT and every
cubic INCH of gaseous matter con-
sumed under the boilers instead of
being released into the air through
the stacks means just that much
more steam generated for the
amount of coal consumed. He show
ed a picture of one plant where
the savings under the boilers had
amounted to 100000 a year.
Mr.. Potter said the railroad Of
ficials and locomotive operators of
Pittsburgh are cooperating wonder
fully well for the prevention of
smoke. and that Pittsburgh railroad
yards are now the cleanest in the
world. 1t is possible. he said not
only to clean the fires of railroad en-
gines without emitting vast guam
titles of black smoke, but fires un-
der their boilers actually can be
kindled without. an Objectionable de-
gree of smoke.
Instead of combating the smoke
regulation bureau the manufactured
of Pittsburgh are seeking it's advice
and are cooperating with it, he said.
Cooperation and publicity COM
bined with a well framed smoke
prevention ordinance will do the
trick in Harrisburg, just as it is
doing it in Pittsburgh" he said.
