Novel Strike.

. There is a novel form Of strike In
progress in a portion Of Victoria,
Australia. Angered by the high prices
charged for children's shoes and
boots, parents have been sending
their boys and girls barefooted to
school. This anti-pro1teering meas
ure has been enthusiastically ap.
plauded by the children, who enjoy
the novelty, and in many cases, where
parents have not Joined In, boots have
been discarded before. the home is
out Of sight. An amusing feature
has been the action Of local bootsell.
er in sending his own children bare
footed. As there is no school rule
which prsscribes footwear, and as the
days are long and warm, the strike
is running it's merry course.

COMFORT At LITTLE COST
inventor Tells Of Idea Which Enables
Him to Have Hot Bath at Prac-
:. ticaIIy No Expense.

Or. Alexander Graham Bell, in
ventor Of the telephone, speaking OF
The importance of little things, in Peo-
pies Magazine, tells of one Of his own
homemade devices.
Speaking Of comfort in the home"
he says, "Ive thought about the hot
water problem. do most Of my hard
est work late at night and in the very
early morning; and I like to have
bath between and a. m. But, as
rule, the water heated by the kitchen
stove has cooled in the boiler by that
time.
II got zinc tank and put it into
wooden box much larger, so that there
was a space of three or four inches
between the OUTSIDE walls Of the tank
and the inside Of the box walls. This
whole space I filled with wool. Hot
water, poured into the zinc tank,
found, kept it's heat far longer under
those circumstances than in con-
tainer unprotected by the wool-along
the lines Of the thermos bottle, you
see.
But how to heat the water? And
without waste? All! I was wasting
heat every night. wasting it dreadful
"! Think of how 1t poured from the
chimney of my students lamp! I ran
two pipes from the zinc tank into a
hood over the lamps flame, thus es-
tablishing q circulation Of water. / then
proceeded with my nights work.
"Next morning the water in the tank
was a little warm, but not. warm
enough. I found, however, that in the
evening when I relit the students
lamp there was still warmth in the
water from the zinc tank. Sol It be-
came q cumulative process. and in a
few nights I had the water in the
tank too hot for me to hold my hand
in It.
''That tank is now in the attic Of
my Nova Scotia house, and its wa
ter, heated by my student's-lamp idea
and protected BY it's wool covering,
gives me a nice warm bath every morn
ing. The only difference is that I get
the heat from a straight pipe run down
the inside Of the chimney to my open
fire in the study"

When the Rabbit Reiaxes.

The rabbits enemies are most of
the animals larger than itself: those
it may outwit by fight or in the hid
den security of its burrows; from the
attacks Of smaller animals such rs
the weasel and ferret, which pursue
it into its stronghold, 1t has no ade-
quate defense and 1t is slaughtered
UPON it's own threshold.
The rabbit is solitary creature.
but nevertheless 1t has its enjoyments
of social life. Numbers of them play
and dance in curious measures and
chase each other around as gayly rs
though they were acting movies. and
the expressions upon their droll little
faces show that they are having a
good time.

Peru Alarmed Over Chinese.

The continued influx of Chinese in
to Peru is being viewed with alarm
and agitation is being carried on by
the recently formed Anti-Asiatic
league, which has as its purpose the
securing Of more stringent immigra-
ton laws. The chief fault found with
the Chinese is that they enter into
ANAL businesses and sell at such low
prices that local business men can
not compete. Feeling has run high
on several occasions, with disastrous
resnlts to the Chinese merchants.

14-Year-Old Girl Still is Missing,
 Say Relatives

Mrs. J. P. Machen, 108 North Walnut, mother of 14-year old Hazel Machen, until recently student al the Junior High school, declared las, night that her daughter, reported tc Little Rock police yesterday as miss ing, may still be in Pine Bluff with friends or relatives.
 Why the girl should remain in seclusion, though, Mrs. Machen said she didn't know. Her belief that Miss Machen is still in Pine Bluff and has not run away to seek job on the stage, was based, she said, on the fact that the girl was in Pine Bluff as late as 80 Thursday aft ernoon. She disappeared from her home at 10 o'clock Thursday morn ing, but Mrs. Machen learned yester- day afternoon that she had spent the day with relative, Mrs. B. H. Aus tin, 914 West Barraque. She left Mrs. Austin's residence, relatives said about 1 :30 and told Mrs. Austin that she intended to go home.
 In the meantime, Machen, the girls father. had arranged to take the train to Little Rock and to report to the officers there believing that she may have carried out threats made previously to seek theatrical job Machen telephoned last night that he had been unable to locate her
 Hazefs relatives last night said that they did not take her threats to seek stage career seriously.

None Complain of Profiteering, Says
 Fair Price Head

A. T. Davis, representing Hamp Williams, former state food commits sioner, now state fair price commits sioner, was here for a short while yesterday for conference with J F. Mcintyre, chairman of the Jeffer- son Fair Price committee. MT. Da- wis is making visit all over the state in an effort to bring about a result in the fight against unfair high prices. MT. Davis had con siderable information in a general way which he imparted to MT. McIn- tyre yesterday along the line of the work of the committee and methods of getting results.
 He did not meet with the commit tee from this county because of the short notice Chairman Mcintyre had of his arrival, but Mir. Mcintyre stat ed last night he would call meet ing of the committee in the near fu- ture and lay before them the gist of his conference with Mr. Davis.
 The work of the committee is showing scarcely any result, MT. Me- Intyrc said, because cases of flag rant violations are not being report cd to the committee. Unless we have complaints to work on," he said Eve can do nothing. It is not our function to act as detectives, but when cases are reported we then can do something. And we welcome re- ports from anyone"
 There have been some few com plaints on the high rent in Pine Bluff, he said, but the fair price committee cannot remedy this since the law don't provide for this con- tingency. It applied only in the hi st .ict of Cnll1 m hin ha Said
