proyided gay, becoming bathing suit.
with all the confidence irf the world she
ACCOMPANIES the rest of the crowd into

well until they want to go out over their

discover that she doesn't know the

want TO be left alone, and SO she goes out
with them. relying absolutely upon. the
rest of them to save her II anything
happens. 1t isn't fair. 1t throws too
much responsibility on other people.
When she was wondering about how to
make that fetching suit, she should have

When the mother country sent her
doughty sons and daughters to this land,
she made sure that the majority of them
were well vcrsed In the art of prepar-

recipes have in their remaking lost much
of the twang of the old world and taken

is all their own: frequently this is
blending of two or more nations in one
dish.

They Do Not Foruet

Dear Cynthia-Please insert the fol-
lowing letter in your Cynthia column
to our boys still in the service.
Several times of late have read with
keen regret letters from some of our
boys who are still in the service calling
attention to the fact that now that the
war is over people have forgotten them,
and In fact even look down on them
but don't you believe it, boys. The
worthwhile people do not-could not.
Every time you walk on the street hun
dreds of mothers and fathers, sisters
and brothers pass you whose pulse beat
faster and hearts reach out to you.
Perhaps they do not show it--perhaps
hidden behind face devoid of all emo
ton a heart is longing to talk to you,
so remember. boys, those who are
capable OF the deepest feeling seldom
display It.
And we who have had our dear ones
over there can never forget, will never
forget you boys either in khaki or ~
blue. BErI.

Il. (. l. PROBLEM
 UP BEFORE BOARD

The board of trustees of the Uni of the faculty to the present high cost of living IS one of the matters being considered at meeting of the board of trustees of the Arkansas State Normal School at Little Rock today. The pay of the staff of the institution was raised slightly at the beginning of the present session, but the in- creases were not at all in proportion to the level of prices, although they were as much as could be granted from the current appropriation of the school. It is probable that a recom- mendation will be made for an in crease in the rate of taxation for the support of the Normal, which is now one-ninth mill.
 The boar dof trustees of the Uni vervsity of Arkansas recently took similar action. In that institution, as IS the case at the State Normal, many members of the faculty are receiving offers of much larger salaries than they are now receiving and it will be impossible, it is stated, to maintain faculties of the present standard of excellence with the funds now avail able.

Portland, Ore, March 29.-It will be possible to motor from the Mexican border to the Canadian line over the projected Pacific highway early in Sep tember, according to officials of the Pacific highway association.
 September 20 has been set as the time for the formal dedication, when ceremonies will be held simultaneous ly at Blaine, Wash, close to the Ca nadian frontier; at the Interstate bridge between Portland and Van couver, Wash, and at San Francisco. The California link of this hoghway is the present Fl Camino Real road way.
 It will probably be years before the Pacific highway shall be entirely pav- ed, but the first big goal of the asso- citation will be reached when the long road IS passable for motorists the year around, and, to that end, work will be pushed this spring and summer. on the missing links" in Oregon and Washington.

BULLDOGS ON EDGE
 FOR TRAVELLERS
RUSSELL FIELD TUESDAY
Collegians Have League Club for Third Game of Scason-Dunn is
 Choice for Mound Duty.

Not even a victory Sunday at Hot Springs by the Little Rock Travellers over the Pittsburg Pirates has put a crimp in hopes of Hendrix baseball men for the game tomorrow with the Southern leaguers The Bulldogs are out to at least equal the scores Ouach- ita and Little Rock College have held the Travellers to this year, which was 6 to 0. Smoky" Dunn is the choice of Coach Headriek to start on the hiring Ire tomorrow. The full pitch ing strength Of the Bulldogs will be available, having been at rest since Fridays game with the State Normal St..-OI.
 Coach Headrick will probably start the game with the following line up: Montgomery 2b, Farris c, Lipe If, Andrews of, Williams ss, Moore 3b, Dunn p. Wahl 1b, and Melton If. Man ager Elberfeld will probably use the same Traveller line up as subdued the Pirates at Hot Springs.
 The Little Rock Travellers made their last appearance on the Hendrix diamond three years ago, and took home the big end of the score, although the Bulldogs made the game worth while. This year, the Bulldogs have a team which may push the leaguers to decision. Montgomery at second has started off with a variety of ball which is hard to beat. He is crack ing out some good stick work, as are also Farris, Lipe and Andrews. The team as a whole has shown good fielding ability, playing steady and at times bordering on the sensational.
 Coach Headrick said this morning that Myers and Mcdonald are off the Hendrix list for the year, due to their matriculation at the college after the date set by the state association. They would be eligible for participation in the Traveller game, Coach Headrick said, but as others on the squad are the ones who will play out the col legiate season, he thought it best to
 i've them the benefit of playing against the leaguers. Both Myers and Me Donald are veteran players and would strengthen the Bulldog team, but the executive committee of the as- soclation has ruled against their par ticipation in association games.
 Tomorrow's game will be called at 3 o'clock, the early hour being nec- essary to enable the Travellers to re- turn to Little Rock at 6:20 The early hour will also be convenient to people from the county, who are expected here for the game. An admission of 50 and 75 cents will be charged.
