eliminates such difficulties by greatly increasing the list of permitted bene- fciaries. It now includeS:
 Parent, grandparent, stepparent, parent through adoption, wife Cor husband)' child, grandchild, stepchild, adopted child, brother, sister, half brother, half-sister, brother through adoption, sister through adoption, step brother, stepsister, uncle aunt, ne- phew, niece, brother-in-law, sister-in law; a person who has stood in the relation of 8 parent to the insured for a period of one year or more prior to the insured's enlistment, or induc- ton, the child of such person; parent, grandparent, stepparent, or parent through adoption of the insured's wife Cor husband). The changes in the permitted class of benefciaries are retroactive to October ', 1917, the date of the War Risk Act, and all cases which are affected by this in creased list will be reviewed and ad- Justed accordingly.
 Another change is in connection with so-called automatic insurance. Under the War Risk Act automatic insurance, involving the payment upon the death of the insured of $25 a month for 20 years, was provided O1l4J TUT IlIcIl WIlO uleO III SCIP1CS Ue- tween April 6, 1917, and February 12 1918. The amendment grants, in ad- dition, automatic insurance or men who entered the service from the lat ter date up to and including Novem- Der II, 1918, and who died within 12O days after such entrance into active service. The officers and crew of the Naval Collier Cyclops, which disappeared at sea in 1918, are spec ifically covered by the new law.
 An inporant feature is the provis- ion that upon the death of a service man or ex-service man with no mem Der of the permitted class of bene- ficiaries surviving, his term or con- verted insurance policy will be paid to his own estate. Converted insurance is also made payable to the insured's s estate upon his death without having named a beneficiary, or if the bene- ficiary dies first.

Many people within the past few years have come to think of money in enormous sums and when the time for refur- nishing arrives they despair of being able to attain any satis- factory results for a modest sum.
 It is part of the agreeable work of the Read Furnishing Shops to influence the selec- ton of such articles as will prove their genuine worth for many years. Very often it is not the outlay of a large sum, only the buying of a really good thing at the right time. One forgets the cost in the enjoy ment of a worthy article.

TO CALL
D. c. DETECTIVE
John F. Watts will Be Witness
for Defense at Trial
in Ardmore.

John F. Watts, general manager
Of the American Detective Agency
of this city, will be witness for the
defense when Clara Smith Hamon
begins her fight for life before an
Oklahoma jury for the staying of
Jake l.. Hamon, oil magnate and
Republican national committeeman
from Oklahoma.
TRAILED HAMON HERE.
Watts today received word from
Oklahoma that his testimony was de-
sired as a result of having been en-
ployed by Mrs. Hamon to watch
Hamon when the couple were in
Washington two years ago.
According to Watts, Mrs. Hamon
told him that she was in deadly fear
OF the oil man and that he had often
beaten her when he was drunk. She
also told him that she was leaving
Washington to 60 to Chicago because
she was afraid that Hamon might
kill her if she remained here after
he had told her to leave so that he
might meet another woman.
II asked her why she didn't stay
In Washington while we watched Ha-
mon" said Watts today. but she de-
clared that IL Hamon found out she
had stayed in town and had him
watched he would kill her"
If | wanted to take a trip myself
or do something that l would enjoy,
he would never give me cent she
told him. But II il was something
that he wanted me to do. like send
ing me out of town in order that he
might be with another woman. why
he gave me plenty of money
According to Watts, Clara Smith
Hamop's suspicious that tho million
afro 0,i man was sending her out OF
town SO he could meet another woma n
were well founded.
THE same night that Mrs. Ham0n
left for Chicago" said Watts, "Hamon
met another woman, who, We later
found out, lived in one of the best
apartment houses in Washington.
They took in a show at one of the
theaters, and after the performance
they returned to lannon's room at the
hotel.
They spent the night at the hotel,
and in the morning had brcakfast t
at a little lunchroom around the cor
ner from the hotel. Hamon evidently
did not want TO eat with this woman
in the hotel dining room, where he
and Clara Smith Hamon had been
tdhlUS tntlT IntdlS. ne "oUnhH tl'li
left Hamon, and we followed her TO
her apartment, which at that time
was on N street, not far from the
British Embassy"
Watts declared that his detective
agency procured for Clara Smith
Hamon what would be considered
absolute divorce evidence in any
state in the Union.
when We gave her tho report of
our investigation. Mrs. Hamon ap-
pearcd to be very much upset, but
declared that It did not particularly
surprise her" said Watts.
Il might add" declared Watts TO-
day. that in all of our interviews she
appeared to be frightened and ner.
vous. and she several times declared
that Hamon would not hesitate to kill
her il he found out that she was haS-
ing him watched. That's the reason
she left Washington"

ARKANSAS SPENDS
 LITTLE ON NORMAL

Missouri, Louisiana and Texas nor. mai schools have replied to queries made them by the Arkansas State Normal School in regard to the size of appropriations made for teacher training during the biennial period now being closed. Compared with the funds which Arkansas has set aside for this purpose, neighboring ! states are generous in allowances to maintain their schools. Queries have been sent by the local school to a number of states, and the answers will comprise part of the matter presented to the legislature in SUD- port of State NormaPs request for more liberal appropriations.
 One of the Missouri normal schools is at Cape Girardeau. According to it's reply to the query, the total en. rollment at the 1919-20 session, ex- elusive of the summer term, was 413. The Missouri legislature appropriated S217,304 for it's maintenance. Com pared with this, the Arkansas Normal enrolled 446 pupils and was granted $60,000 during the same period. The Warrensburg Normal had 1000 stu dents and received $226,000. All told Missouri spent on it's normals one mil lion dollars, while $60,000 spent on the school here represented Arkansas total expenditures.
 Louisiana and Texas are not far be- hind Missouri. Louisiana maintains only one normal, but $125,000 was ap- propriated for it. Texas has nor. nal at San Marcos, and S170,0O0 was given for it's support during the bien- nial period.
 Other replies to the query will show the extent to which Arkansas has been outstripped by adjacent states in providing for teacher training.
