A LEADING INDUSTRY.

.4s The average man does not know what there is in his city until busi- mess men who ordinarily haven't time to talk to telling about their own affairs.
 F. L. Dilley talking about the Stan- dard Brake Shoe yesterday told Ro- tarians of the rapidly increasing out put of his concern. He incidentally revealed that aside from the American Brake shoe which operates factories throughout the United States, there is only one other-the one in Pine Bluff in this field of manufacturing
 Few Pine Bluffians knew that Pine Bluff had 2 growing industry, the field of which was national and which stood practically alone throughout the United States in competition.
 The Standard Brake Shoe and the Dixie Battery are two Pine Bluff in- dustrials which are not dependent for their raw materials on the surround ing country and are not dependent on the surrounding country for their customers. Both are young and grow ine and both have limitless futures
 Akron, Ohio, the one town in the United States of major size to show an increased population of 300 per ceut in 1920, owes it's growth to rub. Der. There is no more reason for rub Der factories at Akron than there .is for rubber factories at Flagstaff, Arix., or New Bedford. Akron seized III opportunity and built big town.
 Mr. Dilley and MT. Fowles both are Qpera ting industrials which are city huiIders.

Fine, Say Democrats; Awful, Says G. o. F.
 of Nitrate Program

Washington, May 1.-Two reports. enc by republicans condemning the governments entire wartime nitrate program, and charging reckless waste and extravaganza and the other by democrats defending it and charging partisan bias by the majority, were presented today to the house by a special committee which took up the investigation policy. The republican majority comprising Chairman Gra- ham, Illinois, and Representative Jefferies, Nebraska, submitted recom- mendations for future disposal of the Muscle Shoals properties, which Rep rcsentative Garrett of Tennessee, the democrat member, declared was be- yond it's province. MT. Garrett in dicated he would make a point o1 ,order against the report on that ground. Members said this would open the way for the biggest political fight in the house since the war in vestigating committee was created. Charging the air nitrates corpora tion, builders of the Muscle Shoals plant, with failure to perform it's con
 tract, the majority recommended tx
 congress that no further sums be ap propriated.

Adam Didn't Wear
 Beard, Says Artist

Budapest, May 1S.-Adam did not wear beard, according to the die tum of M. Terey, director of the Hungarian National Art Museum, who has eliminated the great ancestors hirsute adornment in restoring Jor- deus famous picture Adam and Eve.'' The picture shows Adam look ing at the apple and Eve listening to the serpent in the splendors of Eden. Examination of the canvas has shown the beard was not a part of the original picture, but was painted on during the last century when boards were popular.
 This canvass was one that escaped the fury of the communists. It was the property of Count Karaosonyi who gave it to a leader of the red guard fo rhaving aided in saving a valuable collection. Later the pie ture was sold to the museum for three million crowns.

 Trial at Helena

Little Rock, May 18.An applica ton of writ of certiorari will be made to the United States supreme court in the cases of Frank Moore. Ed Hicks, Paul Hall, Joe Knox, Frank Hicks and Ed Coleman, negroes un- der sentences of death for murder in connection with the Phillips coun- ty riots in this state last October.

Before losing consciousness he nam- ed two other officials of the stock yards labor council as the men he thought he recognized as his assail, ants. Recent charges and counter charges and counter charges of em- bezzlement were labor leaders and were believed responsible for the attack.

Germans Desire
 to Quit Country

Berlin, May 18.-Foreign language schools are busier in Berlin than they have ever been before, the underly- ing desire of the pupils being to leave the fatherland for possibly hap pir shores. Virtually everybody is learning English with Spanish a good second, both languages being popular with prospective emigrants to North and South America.
 French is mostly studied by women with penchant for culture and the Scandinavian language seem toN be popular with stock exchange and bank clerks. Contrary to expecta- tion, there is very little demand for Russian and still less for Turkish. which enjoyed brief spell of popu- larity during the war.

Sensational Breaks
 in Corn Prices

Chicago, May 1s.-Sensational breaks in the price of corn took place today. There was a general rush to sell, and derth of buy CTS. July delivery in which trad. ing was heaviest underwent an ex- trcme fal lof ' IA cents bushel compared with yesterdays close. In dications of financial strain and talk of drastic measures to end the wide spread railway congestion were the chief reasons ascribed.
 The worst of the break came in the last 15 minutes of trading, and carried July down to 169 IA. Lit tie power to rally was displayed, and the finish was at only 1-2 cents re. action from the bottom figures of the day. Kansas bank failures which were said to be- connected with excessive loans on grain had much to do with starting the selling lur- ry that finally smashed values.

WANTED PROPAGANDA.

The propagation of principle by constant repetition, by exposition, ar gument and approximation has been revived with such success as to en- courage the belief that if the people are told something often enough they will believe it, regardless of whether s it is true, and will even create a foundation of reason for it's truth in order to justify their blind accept ance and save their pride. Propagan- da based on this belief, however, de- ludes, in the long run, only those who launched it. When their efforts fail A to meet with approval, they change the subject, and go ahead. The truth 3 is not what they seek, but they often help others to see it.
 Simplifed spelling is an example of futile propaganda. The most cas- ual student of words knows that lan- guage is an instrument which accom- modates itself to the needs of it's em- s polyers. Fifteen years ago little group of reformers, aided financially by Andrew Carnegie and encouraged by the president of the United States, set out to do for a number of words what the words will eventually do < for themselves if there is need for it. They bargain with the assumption that the language had lost its plastic T ha bring it. up to date. They convinced few editors that they were right and set out to convert about 100000, GOO Americans to the belief i'll tho truth of their erroneous notion. # A few days ago the Modern Lan guage association of America an nounced that it had given up simpli fled spelling. This amounts to com ing over into the camp of the people who never took it up. It amounts < furthermore, to an admission of th' essential fallacy of the movement The other proponents of the move
 ment will do well to make the with < drawal unanimous, and to put thei
 representatives, who used to tour tn
 newspaper offices of the country, t
 some useful work. Complete aban

tive to "bank failures in Kansas" Mir. Wilson said:
 "They certainly have gone wild to make out that the failure of two small Kansas banks should affect the country's market centers. In the Hanover bank it is safe to say the depositors will not lose dollar even tho the bank was not under the pro- tection of the state guarantee law.

Economy and the Car

Occasionally some disciple OF

Usually these very disciples drive
the most expensive cars. They

many of US own cars we cannot at
ford, but this is a harmless indulg-
ence when we contrast it with a

bile is the greatest economic force
of our time. Never has the ingen-

Assyrian, Greek and Armenian, Jew
and Christian-an rescued from the
fear OF the Turk and under the care OF
American men and women.
Most Of the children are cared for In
229 American supported orphanages.
The first ceremony in receiving these
starved, almost naked children, is TO
clean them up. They are not only ema-
ciated. but dirty with sores and YER
niin-69 hospitals and over 6.000 beds
are kept full of the little sufferers.
But the children keep changing. Last
year they were all thin and pitiful !;
now ID is the newcomers who are thin.
The orphans who have been from six
months TO a year in American care are
we'll fed and well clothed
Best of all for a new Near East
which surely must ecme out Of all this
distress, every child old enough is be-
ing taught trade which will make
him self supporting.
They are thrifty lot, these little
parentless exiles. From their scant
store OF bread they always carry a
portion in a small bag about their
necks-they fear the day Oh another
killing, another drive into the desert.
They horde the shoes sent from
America until snow fiies-they remem-
Der their barefoot pain in the SHOWS
last spring
They cling to their new found
friends. Every day other little waits
find place in the orphanages and are
told OF the generous people Of the
United States. Soon the entrances will
be crowded with children frozen out
from their temporary summer quarters.
Then the table Of the Near East Re-
iaf must be extended-many, many
new leaves viii be needed, and Amer
lea is asked to set the table.
