EIGHT HOUR DAY
Given Big Boost By State
Legislature House Committee.
Recommends The Shorter Day
For City Fircmen And Police
And Next Week Will Do
The Same For Continuous
Industries. {.

The eight hour day took another
step forward this week when the
house labor committee of the state
legislature voted unanimously to re-
commend for passage the Luchsinger
bill providing an eight hour day for
city fremen and policemen. The com
mittee was also ready to recommend
another measure providing an eight
hour day for employees engaged in
continuous industries. Formal vote
to recommend it was deferred for
week in order to draw amendments
providing penalties for violation
There isn't much boubt that both
these bills will pass when voted on
by the house and senate This will
take care of all the controversies
such as the local machinists are now
in, in the big plants that are running
twenty-four hours a day If these
bills become laws it will be compul-
sorry on the part of the big plants to
put on three shifts.

TWO LIVES SAVED
 BY ARkANSAS MAN
LIEUT.. COOK OF FIT. SMITH RES CUE SAILORS FROM DEATH
 BY GAS FUMES.
ACCIDENT ON SUBMARINE
Were Making Trial Run When Strange Gas OVercame Part of Crew in Rear Compartment
 of the Boat.

Fort Smith,
 A story of a heroic deed performed by an Arkansas boy of Fort Smith Tn a submarine has been brought back by W. H. Martin and w. j. Echols, who have just returned from a trip to California, which included the na- val base at San Pedro.
 The hero of the adventure was Lieut.. John Cooke, son of former Mayor c. M. Cooke, and great nephew of Admiral S. E. Luce, of the United States Navy. Lieut.. Cooke enlisted in the navy 12 years ago. His brother, Charles M, secured an ap- rointment to the Naval Academy and the younger brother followed in his footsteps through the ranks. By steady application and ability, John Cooke rose to the rank of lieutenant at the beginning of the war and com mander of a submarine. One of his duties was to test the subs in their trial runs. A few weeks ago, so the Fort Smithians wore told by an or ficer at the San Pedro station, Lieu tent Cooke was instructed to take sub out fer another trial trip, the first run not having been satisfac- tory.
 While submerged something went wrong and the rear compartment was filled with gas, rendering the men employed there unconscious. Lied- tenant Cooke, detecting the presence of the gas, put on a gas mask and rushed into the compartment to the rescue of his men. The gas was strange one and the mask offered no protection to the officer He struck to his mission, and brought the men into a forward compartment and safety, but he was so weakened by the effort that he fell unconscious just after getting the second of the men 10 safety. one of the two men was an Arkansas boy, but his name was not learned by the Fort Smith lans. ,y X AA

EASY MATTER TO LIVE LONG
Proper Attention to Diet Recommend ed for Those Who Would Attain
 Real Old Age.

The fact that life insurance com panies have raised the normal ex. pectation pf life at birth from forty years in 1S53-1854 to fifty-one in 1908- 1919 furnishes a basis for sciences latest statement that there Is no req son why mans normal lifetime should not reach the century mark.
 Old age, proper, they say, Is caused by gradual accumulation of lime throughout the system, leading to stiff- ness, justification and eventually death. If this lime Is eliminated, these proc esses will be checked, and one might be expected to live indefinitely, bar ring a fall from an airplane or off bicycle at the tender age of one hun dred and fifty or whereabouts.
 And, furthermore, the sercet is di- vulged. Drink sour milk, which de- stroys the acids in the system. and eat apples, the original fruit of the tree of life" and the miracle will be accomplished, according to the scien- lists. Proof of which is offered in the persons of aged Hindu fakirs, who live on rice and apples; on Michael Angelo's accidental death at ninety three, after he had lived for years on grapes and light wine and on Buddhist monks, who eat apples and live long.
