TICKET SALE MONDAY
 FOR HAMMER NUMBERS

A company of Norwegian actors headed by Madame Borgny Hammer. which will present two plays by Hen- rlk Ibsen in the auditorium of the high school on Monday and Tuesday nights, is expected by the joint lyceum committee of the schools and colleges to be the most notable dramatic offer ings ever presented in Conway. The Norwegian company is making a tour of the United States, appearing at the principal universities and col leges, and the lyceum committee counts the city fortunate in securing open dates, which permits the plays to be presented here.
 The cost of the two plays will be $1,500, making it readily evident that the two attractions can not be of fered without additional cost to hold CTS of season tickets. it was stated by the committee today The only way in which the plays could be of fcred here was at regular theatre prices, which were fixed by the com mlttee at SI.oU tor single admlSslonS or $2,50 for tickets admitting to both performances Tickets will be placed on sale Monday at the local drug stores, and will also be sold at thc colleges and high school,

TOREBUKE WILSON
 FOR FRENCH VIEWS
tBy United Press)

Washington, March 13.-Repulia- ton of Presidents s Wilson's s statement. that France is in the hands of mili- tarists and imperialists, will be asked of the senate by Senator Mccormick of Illinois, progressive Republican. The Illinois senator stated today that he would introduce a resolution ask ing the senate to repudiate the presi- dents statement as an expression of American opinion of the recnt ally.
 Senator Mccormick will also include in his resolution a statement that if at any time in the future if France should be attacked by foe, the Unit ed States would view the crisis with great concern and would not idly stand by. The resolution follows in the main the declarations contained in the triple defensive alliance which President Wilson signed with Premier Lloyd George of England and Pre- mier Clemenceau of France, while the peace conference was in session. It has not been ratified by the senate, although the British parliament took favorable action almost immediately after it was submitted by Lloyd George
 The Mccormick resolution will state that the senate does not concur in the assertions made by President Wilson, and that American attitude ,oWard France is friendly.

.HEADEXAMINER
JOB OPEN YEAR
President Fails, to Make
Civil Service APP
pointment.

Although the position of chief
examiner of the United States Civil
Service Commission was made va.
cant more than a year ago, Presi-
dent Wilson has not yet made any
nomination for this important post.
This officer Is the head of the large
examining force which prepares the
examinations and handles the pa
pers of the thousands of people
who seek to enter the United States
government service during the year.
The position was held by George
r. Wales. who vacated II on March
IL, last year, when he was made d
member of the commission. Since
that time the examining force has
been without a head. the work be-
ing carried out by the clerical force,
as no one has been acting as chief
examiner.
Just why the President has delay
ed in making this important ap-
pointment to complete the civil SER
vice machinery is not known, and
while officials of the Civil Service
Commission declare that they are
not hampered in any way. they said
that the work would be carried on
more efficiently" IL the post were
filled.
There is a move on foot, fostered
by the National, Service Reform
League, to have the position filled
by competitive examination and rep
resentatives have been made at the
White House. il is said.

HOW WORDS COME

Sometimes words are borrowed
bodily from another language.
Sometimes a root-word is borrow
ed. oftenesty from the Latin or
Greek. and an English ending given
it, Again. we take two old words.
join them together and make a
new one. At first we separate
them by the hyphen. but after a
while that Is left out. and the two
are mingled as single word.
Then. we take a prefix, or a SUNK.
from some other tongue. and add
II. after or before. and we have an
other new word. Or when a word
is too long. we shorten it--because
