De Orc Explains
Why He Protests
Rivals Victory

Alfredo De Orc, who lost his title
of hree-cushion billiard champion of
the world to Robert Cannefax in q
match played at the Friars' Club last
week, issued a statement last night
in which he set forth his side of the
controversy that arose on the second
night of play, when Cannefax COM
mitted a foul.
According to DE Orc, Cannefax
struck the cue ball twice on that
occasion, and the attention Of Albert
Cutler, the referee, was called to this
insraction by De Orc, who demanded
that the balls be replaced in accord
ance with the rule which reads: "Ir,
after having MADE premature stroke,
he make second or glaring foul
stroke, it shall be assumed that he
having a favorable position, and the
opposing striker shall have the option
of playing on the balls as he finds
them, or having them replaced as
nearly as possible where they were
when the second stroke was made"
1t is De Oro's contention that Cutler
acknowledged the foul by Cannefax,
but at first disclaimed knowing the
official ruling, and later, when his at
tention was drawn to it by De ORC,
claimed he did not recognize the for
mer champions remarks, made at the
time of the foul, as formal protest
De Orc claims he has formal aft
davit, signed by Maurice DAILY and half
dozen others who were present at
the match, upholding his contention
which was that foul had been com
mitted and that he should have been
allowed to replace the balls, and con-
tinued the match under protest.

Plestina Victor
In Mat Bout
At the Garden

Marin Plestina defeated Jack Taylor
in their wrestling match at Madison
Square Garden last night. The Jugo-
Slav scored his first fall in hour, %
minutes and 33 seconds with double
wrist lock and body roll. The second
and decinding fall came at one minute
before midnight, after "a minutes and
48 seconds of work, as the result of q
head bar lock and arm scissors.
A moment before Plestina won the
first fall Taylor had lifted his rival
clear of the mat and slammed the son
of Jugo-Slavi down. Taylor went down
with him, and as they fell Marin Sc
cured the wrist hold and landed on tor.
pressing Jacks shoulders fiat. Up to
the time of the fall Taylor had done al
most all the work. The men had agreed
to two out three falls.

 people of Arkansas today, and iall are so closely related that
 they appear to be only one. These subjects are the con
 struction of improved highways,
 the promotion of better schools.
 and the improvement of agricul-
 tural methods.
 These are the three big issues
 before the people of Arkansas
 today, and everything else is
 secondary or a logical sequence
 of one or the other.
 Better roads help the farmer.
 better farming demands better
 roads, and improved educational
 facilities are not consistent with
 bad roads and antiquated farm
 ing methods. All three must go
 together.
 Arkansas has every reason to
 be gratified by the progressive educational legislation enacted
 by the last General Assembly. Probably the greatest good will come from the act providing for the election of county school boards by the people at the an nual school election, and that each county board shall elect a county superintendent. This systematizes the educational ad- vancement of recent years. The first election of those school boards will be held next month. The Boards are given authority to select the county superintend ent just as the teachers are se- lected. or the superintendents of city schools. and in this manner the best can be secured. The first superintendent to be chos. en will go into office Jan. 1. 1921, but thereafter they will enter upon their offices with the begin nlng of the regular school year, July 1. The county boards do not in any way interfere with | the local school boards, but CO., operate with and assist them.
 Bills by Senators Montgom cry and McFerrin, which were'I enacted into law, provide impor- tant safe guards as to the sale of state lands. Such lands hereaf ter, except forfeited lands, shall not be sold for less than S2. 50 an acre. The proceeds from the sales of all state lands shall here, after go to the permanent scho ol fund. which will thereby be ma terially increased from time to time.
 The act providing for vocation. al education will meet the provis. ions of the Federal Smith Hughes Act. As Arkansas is an agricultural state. a large DOT tion of the State, and Federal appropriations will be used to aid in establishing courses in az riculture in the public schools.
 An important measure is the act giving school districts of the state that desire to do so author ity to provide at public expense | for the transportation of school children to and from school, and for the erection of teacherages, or homes for teachers. This will 1 encourage and facilitate the con solldaslon of small and strug- gling distrlcts into large and ef fective school units.
 A bill which Judge Doyle in troduced early in the session and which is now a law provides the English language only shall be the basic language for teach l ing and .instruction in the com mon school branches in all schools. public and private.
 A State school Commission was created, to consist of linn. tied number of repres antatives or members from various civic and social organizations of al

Every man will be expected to con- tribute his quota to the new era. The Old Book Is right when it says. "No man liveth to himself" InffueEce of ideal and conduct must be made to administer to world betterment. The lime has come when it will not longer allow 8 man to criticize in his neigh bor the petty things he practices in his own life. Each man will be expected to be leader in his line. If he can't be this he will have to be satisfied with following the lead Of others in both position and pay. And few men want to do this. But the law Is inevitable. Man must either produce ar become q follower. Valuable as some men are they can never claim equality with the men uf initiative and daring who blaze the trails to human progress.

BOY RIDING BICYCLE KILLED BY AUTO

Isadore Burchman. nine-year- old son of Mir. and Mrs. Heyrnan Burch- man, living on West Main street, near Maple street, was instantly killed on Monday afternoon about 4.30 o'clock on West Main street. when he was run over by an automobile driven by Cle- fnent Joubert. a barber of Taftville. The boy was riding a bicycle and fell off the wheel in front of Zthe au- tonobile, according to what was learned by Dr. c. c. Gildersleeve. the medical examiner.
 Joubert was returning from taking a party to a funeral at Maplewood cemetery, he told the medical exam
 iner, and was coming back towards the
 city through West Main street. When
 near Durham street he saw the
 Burchman boy ahead of him in the
 street. riding a bicycle and wobbling
 around from side to side in the road.
 He slowed down his car to watch
 where the boy on the wheel would go,
 but the bicyclist kept on towards him and suddenly swerved in front of the automobile and fell off the wheel One wheel of the auto passed over the boys head and Joubert brought his car to a stop with the boys body di- reetly under the center of the car.
 The body was lifted out to the side of the street and police headquarters was notified. Chief Linton at once sent Officers Charles Smith and John

OPENING FREE CLINIC FOR
 CHILDREN AT FALL S

A second free clinic for children is to be opened under the direction of the Rock Nook Children's Home and tie public health nursing com mittees of the United Workers It will be at the Falls and follows the first clinic established a year ago at No. Washington street with Dr. F. J. Brophy in charge. Results there were so satisfactory that this extension of the work is planned with Dr. R. R. Agnew in charge at the new clinic which will be at the clubhouse on Oneco street.
 At the Falls clinic Dr. Agnew and the public health nurses will be in att tendance from to 5 on Fridays.
 Mothers accessible to the Falls clinic are urged to bring to it all children of seven years or under. whether sick or well, that they may be examined periodically.
 An ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure and no mother can be sure that her child is in good health unless she knows him to be Of normal size and weight. The public health nurses at the clinic will exam inc, weigh and measure all children and if evidences of mainutrition or in cipient disease are found the parents will be advised to take the child to the family physician. If the parents are unable to pay a physicians fee the child will be examined and treated free of charge by Dr. Agnew.
