New Jersey Girl Can't
Complain About Any
Lack Of Proposals

Paris.-Miss Helen Besler, daugh-
ter of the president of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, is probably
the most proposed-to girl in France
today It all came about because
one night, in one OF the American
camps, she ran out Of "encores, " and
sang a little nursery song called, If
No One Ever Marries Me-" 1t goes
like this:
IF no one ever marries me-
And l don't see why they should,
For nurse says | am not pretty,
And I'm seldom very good"
The direful fate of the little girl
in the song was to buy a rabbit
hutch and live all along in little
wood. But the American soldiers
saw no reason why Miss Besler, who
is pretty and petite" and a typical
American girl, should have similar
lot. After they had given her the

College Sports Must Have
General Welfare in View

Princeton, N. J., Feb. 15.-The
death knell Of highly specialized ath-
letic teams at Princeton has been
sounded through the success of
wartime contests, and from now on
the university will devote its efforts
to accommodating the greatest
number of students.
Training tables, high salaried
coaches, long trips and other essen
tails of the old regime have been
abandoned. The future coach must
not be solely interested in the sea-
sonal victories, but in the develop
ment and betterment of sport for

In appearance this Oldsmobile is a year, perhaps more, ahead of the times. Long, low body lines that merge perfectly with the cleverly designed windshield and rakish top, make it the smartest new car of the year. A wealth of other thoughtful touches add further to its distinction. In all mechanical essentials the chassis adheres closely to the design and construction of the Oldsmobile that has proven so strikingly the supreme practicability and economy of the light weight "eight." But many refinements have been made. Added rigidity and strength have

been given the frame. An unusual new method of suspendipg the very long, flexible, semi-e1liptic rear springs has brought about unsur- passed riding quality.
 By all means see this new Oldsmobile. Let us demonstrate the two-phase power feature that makes possible "an idIing pace and q thrilling speed the smooth motor operation and lightning like acceleration, the ability to negotiate all roads with minimum effort. Let us show you why this, the smartest new car of 1919, is also the outstanding value of the season.

 The officers who thus sent to the bottom a 20,000-tOn ship Gna of the most powerful in tie Austrian navy, were Lieutenant 2aftaele Paoluec1 and Maijr Raffael2 !tossetti The attack was deliJr' Nd 0.l the morning of November 1. 1918
 To tow the hombS into pula har- bOr, the two !ta'ians invented small compressed ar not0ts tA Which were attached bombs. For six months the two naval men practitcd in long distance swimming The Italian admiralty gave them the use of motor boat
 Reaching the harbor entrance at nlghtfall, the two daring men start cd on their expedition swimming be- side their little motors and steering them. To escape detection by sen tries on a wooden pier across the harbor mouth, Paolucci and Rosetti had hats shaped like bottles, and the sentry saw nothing but couple Of bottles being tossed about by the waves. When his back was turned they advanced safely passed the first barrier.
 After infinite labor they fought their way through the steel nets and the Austrian fleet lay before them. Reaching the side of the Viribus Unitis. they attached the bomb to 1 her hull and beneath the ladder which led to her deck and timed the bomb to explode at 6:30 a. m. By this time they were exhausted having been in the water more than nine hours. As they were leaving, they were discovered and taken on 1 board the dreadnaught. At first they refused the questions asked them by Admiral Voucovich At 6:15 howev' CT, they told the admiral what they had done and he gave the order to abandon ship. Paolucci asked the i admiral if he and his friend might also try to save themselves and he shook hands saying: You are brave men and deserve to live" They plunged into the water and swan away. but ten minutes later the ad- miral began to suspect the bomb story and sent launch to bring them back. They were made t 0 walk up the ladder under which they had set the bomb which was due to explode in two minutes. The ladder was crowded with sailors returning l to their ship.
 The Viribus Units was then lyin5 on her side, but suddenly the huge Lieutenant Paolucci saw Admiral Voucovich schrambEe upward and 1 stand with folded arms on the keel, | ready to go down with his vessel.

ON BOARD VESSEL OWN BOMBS DESTROYED BUT
 LIVE TO TELL EXPLOIT

Rome. Jan. 6.--(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-lt was by swimming into Pola harbor and steering two small submarine mo- tors towing bombs that two Italian naval officers destroyed the. Austri- an dreadnaught Viribus Unitus just before the signing of the armistice between Italy and Austria. The swimmers were in the water nine hours and had to penetrate four barriers across the harbor entrance, two of which were composed of steel submarine nets. After they had at tached their bomb to the side of the dreadnaught, they were captured and taken on board the vessel and were there when the warship was blown up.
 They escaped without injury and have returned to Rome to- tell of their exploit which is characterized as one of the most daring and suc- cessful ill the history of naval war fare. Only the fact that the Vifibus Unitis had been destroyed by Ital- < ian naval forces previously had been made known but now the de-

 consider the incorporation of other than baggage transportation in the resolution.
 Gas Petition.
 The petition presented to the coun- cil asking that they force the gas company to render more capable ser vice was read by the clerk with far less stir by the members of the coun- cil than was expected. The petition which was no doubt familiar to all of the members before it was read, called for no denunciations of the gas com pany. A motion was made to have the matter investigated thoroughly, and to have the mayor direct the city attorney, and have other city officials consider the matter, decide if any, thing might be done, report to the city council the results of their con- alterations. The petition was pre- sented by z. F. Mitchell, office fore man of the telegraph office "t the >~e, and bore the names of 335 cit izens, users of gas.
 Annex Suburbs to City.
 The third matter of greatest inn port and interest probably, was the introduction of resolution asking for the annexation to the city proper of several suburban districts. In or der that this might be annexed, the matter must be put before the ballot and passed at a general election. It was pointed out that this annexation would greatly increase the population of the city, and that insofar as there would be census next year, the cleo tion next April would be the time to put the question before the peo- pie.
 The resolution was adopted by the council, part of which stated that the ballot be put before the people at the next general election. The ter ,ritory to be annexed includes dis trict about mile south of the city limits west of Ohio street, then about mile west of the city limits, and then for about mile north of the city limits. It will be seen that the annexation of these parts of the su- burbs to the city means the bringing in of desirable property, and increases the city population. The matter of the Free Bridge road was broached, and Senator Caldwell, state senator from this county, spoke to some length on the matter He said among other things, that the fact that the free bridge road was inaGeouate to handle the voluminous traffic which passed over it daily, the Y,'rtt end of Jefferson county was taking it's business away from Pine Bluff to other towns. He said furthc: that tEc State Highway CommwsIen could go half or road, but that the other half must be raised by the county or by the people of the dis trict. A committee appointed by the mayor to consider the matter was composed of Aldermen Mcbride, Clements and McGhee, and Messrs. E. E. Bloom, T. H. Galherry, T. J. I Collier. Ji'.: Ray Mcintyre and Tcm Brummett. The Free Bridge road has proven unable to handle the traf- fic which is poured over it, and some means to handle the traffic, yet save road must be achieved.

DON'T THROW AWAY
 YOUR OLD SHOES
Make Them Wear Like New As Did This Canadian
 Officer

A Canadian army officer. William Pemberton, of the famous Princess Pat Regiment, told of the extraordinary wear given him by a pair of army boots twice repaired with Neolin Soles.
 "Six months of trench warfare under destructive conditions put the first pair of Ne0lin Soles out of business" said Lieutenant Pemberton, 'but ordi- nary soles would have gone to pieces in much less time."
 Don't throw away shoes that can be repaired. Have them re-bottomed with tough, durable Neolin Soles. Any cobbler or repairman will do the work for you. The price is no more than for soles that give less wear. Remem- ber-Ne6lin Soles are created by science to be what soles should be. They are flexible and waterproof as we'll as durable. They come on new shoes of all styles. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels-glaranteed to outwear any other heels.

Regret Expressed in London.

lodon, aJn. 6.-News of the death of former President Roosevelt first became known in Londo nthrough a cable message to The Associated Press here which was immediately transmitted to official circles. where the keenest regret was eXpresseu the news.
 Soon afterward British news agen- 'cy dispatch from New York gave the news to the public.
 Colonel Roosevelt who always was popular figure in England in sgener- al, became even more popular during the course of war because of his un- failing support of the course of the allies and his constant advocacy of a pro-British policy for the United States.
 Colonel Roosevelt's reference to the necessity in his view, of British su- prenacy on the seas were given wide currency in recent weeks during the discussions on the freedom of the seas.
