SEEKING TO PROVIDE REAL
 SERVICE.

Officials of the Pine Bluff company evidently are inspired with the de- sire to provide the kind of service the people demand.
 There were complaints last week of the city water being warm, due to . defective machine shipped the local company. Experts had been called from New York, even before the peo- pie complained, and the trouble is be- lieved to have been remedied.
 Anyway, Pine Bluff folk using city water have had to heat water when- ever they wanted g bath since last Friday, and there is no indication that they will be served with warm water again, unless some unforeseen ac- cident 6ccurs.
 As further precaution, more pow erful pumps have been installed to aeraeate the water, and if these are not as effective as they should be it must be attributed to the high tenn perature. The blame goes to the weather man, and not to the Pine Bluff company.
 When public service officials prove possession of the spirit of service, as the Pine Bluff company officials have done, they contribute to the friend- ship that should exist between the public utility and those it serves. And this friendship is big factor in the progress and development of the city.

FINANCIAL CRISIS
IN EUROPE NOT

YANKEE EXPERT
Conditions Serious But
Not Panicky; Peace
Will Relieve
BRITAIN COMING
BACK STRONGLY
tHy Leased wire to New M"exIcan.l

- R<NSSS - WV
Paris, Tuesday, March rs (by Tho
Associated Press).-Persistent rum
ors that all Europe is on the verge
of a financial crisis are not justi-
fled by the facts, a prominent Amer
lean financial expert who has been
engaged for many months in study
ing the problems facing the peace
conference said in a statement to-
day.
Conditions were serious, he added,
but not panicky, and will doubtless
be relieved greatly when peace is
signed and the embargoes lifted. He
predicted that England would be
stronger within a year than ever be-
fore.
Discussing France, the financier
sal dthat the situation was unsat-
isfactory because the government
does not levy a heavy enough taxa
tion. He declared that the French
people were too patriotic to let their
government go bankrupt and pre-
dieted an immediate increase in the
direct taxation upon the wealthy.
The financier said that the barrier
against the importation of manufacts
articles into France pr0DaDly
would be removed soon, thus permit
ting the resumption of normal condi-
tons. If the taxation problem is
faced ~fearlessly, he added, France s
hardest time would be over within
six months.
The courage Of Italy in levying
heavier taxes than France, he CON
tinued, had helped her situation, but
with the exhaustion Of her present
foreign credits within six months,
the situation may become serious.
The financier declared tht the con-
dition Of Belgium was not as bad ss
the Belgians imagine, because she
has the industries and population
which doubtless win restore manu-
featuring rapidly. There also were
indications that Belgium would get
priority in reparations from Ger
many.

Max Newman, who obtained $1,400

asked feverishly. He was told and
wrote a check for 5000 with a pen
that fairly flew, and then rushed from

Hyman w. Void, whose commits

What, goodness gracious, that's
