l tinues to be the big political riddle of the day. There have been no {, recent withdrawals or new entries and the big problem just now is' how many will actually get their names on the ticket.
 If all "stick" who have said they propose to do so the list of en- trants will be the largest in the political history of the state.
 If all do stay in, each man draw ing from his own locality the SUD- port that would naturally go to a home man, it follows that the man who wins will be a minority nomi- nee. This gives rise to an agita- tion in some quarters for the con sideration of law for second pri maries by the next legislature to provide for similar contingencies in the future.
 There was range of 68 degrees in the temperature reported by the various stations in the state for the month of September, the high est being 108 degrees at Bee Branch, and the lowest 40 degrees at Gravette. This is not, however, proof of variable climate, as the highest monthly mean was TIA de- (grees at Hot Springs and the lowest 70 degrees at Okay. There was only 2.72 inches average rainfall for the state for the month of September, but this is being far exceeded by the long continued rainy season of October. The rainfall of Septem- Der was .85 inch below the normal average, but the October average will run several inches above it..

 This is the old, old story that is repeated by every new conner in Little Rock.
 The housing facilities are simply not available for any more people right now. There is more building in progress than ever before, de- spite the unprecedented high prices of labor and material, but there are more people here than ever before in the history of the state.
 
 Little Rock is to have the first $2,000,000 industrial plant of the state. It is not strange that this proposed factory should be for the manufacture and assemblage of au- tomobiles, trucks and tractors. There is already one automobile factory in the city, the Climber, that is making good and has its cars on the streets.
 The new concern is the Curtis Motor Car Company, which has just been announced, although it has more than 100 original sharehold- CTS. The president of the company is Charles E. Taylor, who was for eight years the mayor of Little Rock. giving the city the most pro- gressive and constructive admins tration it has ever had.

 The Little Rock public schools are pioneering in the employment of the motion picture as an educa- tional adjunct. It has for several years been recognized by educators of vision as a field of illimitable possibilities in the visualization of the abstract lessons taught in the school room.
 During the last few years tho motion picture industry has become the fifth in the world, and billions of feet of film have been produced at an expenditure of many million: of dollars. There is no other agency excepting the newspaper alone that reaches so many people. Va rious forms of censorship have nee essarily developed to keep the pic lures clean and wholesome. It ha been during this process that edu cators awoke to the possibilities oi the screen, and now there are cor porations and film makers who ar' devoting their time exclusively tt the making of this type of picture
