FLU" NOT NEW IN ARKANSAS
Away Back in 1886 it Was Called
 "lnfluenxa"-cholera, Too

"lnflnenxa"--Cholera, Too.
 Little Rock, March 31.-lDallas T. Herndon, secretary of the Arkansas History Commission has discovered that we have no monopoly on the flu
 He has been reading ancient news paper files, and away back in 1886 he found that there was scourge of in- fluenza very similar to that of the last two years. It was called influenza-t people had not yet become so familiar with 1t that they spoke of it as the flu" It does not seem to have been quite so fatal, probably because at that time there were fewer people in the entire state than there are in Little Rock today. But the ymptoms were very much the same, and the health authorities then quarantined against it as they are doing today. One disease, however, which was prevalent then, and of which we are now free, was cholera, which afflicted the tribes of Indians who were passing through the state to their new reservations. News paper reports of the time are that the Indians "died in droves" as the result of the malady.

GREAT LABOR SHORTAGE
May Not Find Sufficient to Gather
 Crops
Special to The star.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, March 31.-Labor Commissioner Wilson has returned from an important conference of the U- s. Employment Service in Wash ington.
 It was agreed that there is an alarming shortage in common labor throughout the country, and an inten- sive survey of the situation is to be made to determine where the labor is to the end that steps may be taken to place.it where it is most needed.
 There is doubt expressed of the suf- fieiency of labor to harvest next sum- mer's crops, the most notable shortage being in farm labor.
 A new plan was adopted by which the statessare divided into zones. The 8th Zone consists of the states of Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee, with headquarters in St. Louis. Daily reports are to be made by each state to the zone headquar- ters of the volume and needs of labor, and an effort will be made to CO., ordinate these needs to the best ad- vantage.

PROSPERITY IS
 NOT GENUINE
Frank A yanderlip of New York, De- eiares the Three Essentials of Sound Economic Conditions Are
 Non- Existant.

Chicago. April 2--America has en- tered an era of false prosperity, Prank A. Vanderlip. formerly president of tho National City Bank of New York. declared today in an address. Mir vanderlip is en route 10 Japan where in connection with a committee of financiors, he will investigate condi- tions governing trade relations be. tween the United States and Japan.
 There are three things upon which real prosperity must be based" he said. These are ample capital, eff cieut labor and an application of sound economic principles. We are prosper ous today in the face of all of these three fundamentals, and our prosper ity is false as well as dangerous.
 Incomes today are larger than ever before; profits are larger, and yet fresh capital for business enterprise Is less available than ever before. The chief reason for this Is the govern mont taxes.
 But even were taxes reduced, the situation would not be sound I have talked with scores of big business men and the consensus is that labor is sixty per cent efficient There is no unemployment today.
 s'And yet, despite this fact, our pro ductivity is lower than It has ever been. But even with labor efficient and capital plentiful our prosperity stiil would be on false bottom. The imitation of currency and of bank credit has more than anything else been responsible for the 250 per cent rise in prices in the last six years. Wages have not kept pace with prices and false imitation has added to the chaos. Unrestrained extravagance is our national keynote and the capital of the smaller capitalists when 1t is not dried ID by tax, is being squandered in the purchase of unproductive things"
