GIRLS SLEEP ON
 DECK WITH LIFE
 BELTS IN STORM
Four Nights Behind the Trop. ical Hurricane Experiences
 Pine Bluff Girls
RETURNING FROM
 HONDURAS ISLE
Captain of Boat Ordered All Pas sengers to Sleep Above Pre- pared for Any Dis
 aSter

Four nights on deck, sleeping in their clothes with life belt close at hand as their coincidence, as the Celba battled with the big waves which were left in the wake of the Gulf storm of this week, were the ex- periences of three young ladies who arrived in Pine Bluff this afternoon after four months in Honduras. They were Miss Adele Hudson, daughter ot MT. and Mrs. J. Harvey Hudson, BOA West Fifteenth avenue, and Misses Louisa and Frances Stewart. lat whose home in Honduras, Miss Hudson has been guest. The Misses Stewart, whose father lives in Hon. duras, attend the High School in Pine Bluff in the winter, returning to their fathers home to spend their vacation. Miss Hudson returned home with them last spring.
 The ship on which the young ladies left Ceiba, Honduras last Monday, was the Ceiba, of the Vaccaro Brothers line, New Orleans. They got in behind the storm, Miss Hudson said last night, and while the sea was rough all the way, they were never at any time in he hurricane and the ship suffered no damage.
 Ordered on Deck.
 All passengers were ordered to sleep in their clothes on the deck however, she stated, as precaution- ary measure taken by the ship com- mander. There was unusual excite ment among passengers, she said, and not a few of them were badly frightened
 Strong winds and high waves their ship plunged thru, she said, characterized the weather which but because of their sailing date, they missed the storm. They left the port of Ceiba on Monday and made New Orleans Friday. They arrived in Pine Bluff yesterday afternoon from New Orleans.
 ents of Miss Hudson and friends of the other two young women that they were among passengers on ship caught in the storm, but telegram sent upon landing at New Orleans dissipated the fear relatives and friends had for their safety.
 The date of the return of the three was originally set month earlier, but because of the strike of banana cutters in Honduras, they were unable to get a ship, since none were allowed to dock in the port. There was considerable trou- ble as the result of the strike, Miss Hudson stated, but the presence of an American gun boat in the harbor assured the safety of Americans there. The Mises Stewart will be the guests of Miss Hudson while they are attending school this win ter.

Preacher Swaps Jal Birds Out
 Of Deck Of Cards--Leaues Bible

The Reverend gentlemen stepped right in the middle of the gang and went to work. He began his attack from their weakest side, and "histed a tune."
 Cards were forgotten. Twelve mouths opened wide, and Roll, Jor- dan Roll'' boomed forth and rever- brated thru the jail. Not one of the twelve but knew both. the words and the melody. And when this song was finished. the minister "histed" an- other tune, and they were off again, mellow voices rolling out, two doz- en feet slaping the concrete floor softly as they kept up the tempo.
 When the singing was over, Rev Colquette gave gospel address.
 "I'll swap you Bible for that deck of cards"
 The cards, it is stated, are at the |Y. M. c. A., being kept there by MT Goodwin as a momento of the oc- casion.

BURGLAR SNEAkS
 OUT OF HIS LAIR
 TO EAT, IS BELIEF
Lone House Breaking Shat ters Theory Brazen Gull
 prit Has Departed

A lone house entry, Friday night and discovered Saturday morning. is the only contradiction to the police theory the daring daylight robber who, Wednesday robbed over half dozen residences, had left the city.
 The one robbery reported Satur- day might indicates the culprit, sup posed to be negro, had succombed to his "ambition" for food and Fri day night came out of his lair for something to eat.
 The residence of George B. Wheat, APO West Fourth avenue, was enter ed during the night. Only food was taken and so cautious was the hun gry burglar that he took dishes and all.
 No trace has been found of the chinaware.
 Before retiring Friday night the Wheats partook of lunch in the kitchen. The remains were left in the dishes on the table. The back door was locked. Saturday morn ing on arising, MT. Wheat discover ed that the house had been entered through the back screen door. It had been left unlocked by the intrud- CT.
 Investigation following the discov- cry revealed that nothing had been taken from the house except the re- mains of the lunch left on the kit chen table. The thief had evident ly entered the house in great hur- " for instead of sitting down and calmly eating the food he made away with the dishes.
 Police Skeptical.
 Because the house breaker did not sit down and eat the food in the house police believe the burglar of such brazen tactisc who the day before had entered several houses might have failed to make his escape from the city as first expected and because the officers were on his trail he had been unable to get in the open to ge his meals and had been compelled to sneak out under cover of night and obtain whatever edlbles he could and again get back to his place of hiding.
 The Wheats are inclined, however to believe that the entrance to the house was affected by bows who wished to 'pull off something." Efforts to find the dishes which had been taken from the Wheat home m order that they might furnish d ciue Which when worked out would lead to the capture of the brazen house breaker, were without avail ihe ware evidently had been con. cealed or buried, it was stated

 and May Lose Job

Paris, Sept. 25.-The Irish Sim Fein republic has been recognized" by the mayor at Versailles but the recognizer is in danger of losing his job.
 It happened in the course of re- cent centenary celebration. Among the foreigners who placed wreaths and delivered speeches before the statute of General Hoche was an en- voy from country which has been mentioned quite frequently in dis patches lately as the "de jure" Iris republic. The mayor replied with great enthusiasm to the Sim Fein- CTS oration, lauding "the new re- public" which had grown out of the war.
 The British embassy at Paris pro- tested to the Quai d'Orsay and the mayor has been asked to brush up in his geography and explain how it happens that he is unaware that Ire land is still a part of the friendly British empire.

DOCTORS AMAZED MAYOR MAC SWyNEy
 ABLE TO SURVIVE
Condition Unchanged, De Val era Sends Message to
 Mayors Wife

Cork, Sept 25. Doctors Pearsons and Battiscombe, the jail physicians today expressed profound amazement that all of the eleven hunger strk- CTS were still alive, and not only alive but conscious. Both said that but for the devotion and care of the nuns, it is certain several of the strikers would long since have been dead.
 The doctors have been warned by high Sim Fein officials that if it were discovered that the nuns were accepting from the doctors any in- structions whatever, the nuns would be instantly ordered to leave the jail.
 The nuns reported today, accord. ing to the doctors that the strikers had been reduced to very severe degree of cancellation.
 Condition Unchanged.
 London, Sept. 25.-A bulletin is- sued late tonight by the Irish self determination league said that the condition of Lord Mayor Mac Swi- ney was unchanged.
 Washington, Sept. 25.-Eamond de Valera, president of the Provisional Irish republic, today sent a message to Mrs. Mac Swiney, wife of the lord mayor of Cork, which he made pub lie as follows:
 "We grieve with you in the ten sion of your long agony. The silent masses now dumb at the outrage on humanity being committed by the British government cannot storm your husbands prison. They will not, however, forget. They now see in it's nakedness; the hypocrisy of the plea with which that government recently called on the millions cl the noble minded of the world to as sist it and will yet rock that bastile of the subject nations-the British empire. Please tell your noble hus- band and have conveyed to his com rades suffering with him the heart felt gratitude of the Irish nation and the Irish race and may God give you all His consolation"

HOW CADRON VALLEY
 ERECTED NEW SCHOOL

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Some few years ago a community Tn this county employed a young man as teacher of the local school. On becoming acquainted with the people he discovered that he was teaching in a community of real people, diamonds Tn the rough" if you please. Seeing his opportunity for service he called a meeting of the patrons and discussed wi'h them the necessity of better school building with modern equip ment.
 Tn checking over the school funds and possible revenue for the next year it was found that there was no money for a new building. Naturally it ap- pe7red that no money meant no build ing. but not SO.
 It was decided that 10 acres of cot ton be worked by the community and the proceeds go toward the new build ing.
 During the summer logs were haul ed to the mill and sawed or exchanged for lumber. All work was done by the people in erecting the new building. which stands well equipped. modern in every respect. as an honor to the ef- forts of the people in community CO., operation. But this is not all the story.
 A few days ago the writer passed through this community. In a beau tiful grove of cedars on the school grounds there stood modern bun galow. home for the teacher.
 Whit Morgan. the teacher, who has been there from the first, with the ex- ception of service in France. is doing a service that has far more value than can be measured in dollars and cents
 Community cooperation in solving few local problems will lead to the solving of greater problems for a county or state.
 What Cadron Valley school district No. 27 has done, others might well copy. If not the same problems there are others. Problems of keeping your children in the community and from the ever increasing cities.
 If there is better plan to do this than the good school with a teacher living on the school grounds who is a community leader have not heard of it.
 Hats off to Whit Morgan and the Cadron Valley people.
 T. NJ. Williams. County Agent.
 Conway. Ark, December l3.

PLAN TO BUY NEW
 FIRE EQUIPMENT.

The matter of purchasing new fire truck, including high-pressure pump, will probably be laid before the city council by Alderman c. w. Jones at tonight's regular meeting. Mir. Jones has been Investigating the cost of such apparatus and has found that large and powerful truck chassis, together with force pump operated by the same engine, can be purchased at cost of about $3,800, and the ad- dition of the chemical apparatus and fire hose already owned by the city would give an outfit which would cost otherwise about $8,500. The pump would give water pressure up to 250 pounds, whereas the maximum gravity pressure now afforded by the water works system is only 80 pounds By. lowering suction hose into we'll the apparatus could also be used in out lying sections of the city where there are no available water mains.
 The fire truck now owned by the city is mounted on Ford chassis and IS considered too light for efficient firefighting.

.I6 COUNTIES HAVE
 RED CROSS NURSE

Little Rock, Dec. i4.-Unprecedent- cd expansion, amounting to 800 per cent for the year just ending, has been made in public health, hygiene and sanitation activities conducted in Arkansas under the direction of the Red Cross. according to an announce ment received yesterday from south western division headquarters by Miss Linnie Beauchamp. state supervisor of nursing for Arkansas. The report shows the extension of health activi- ties throughout the division, compris- ing Arkansas, Kansas. Oklahoma, Mis- souri and Texas. to be 460 per cent for the year, indicating that Arkan- sas IS far over the general average of the five states. Invaluable results are expected from the great strides in the development of this health work, one of the chief items in the Red Cross peaeetime program.
 Comprehensive plans for still furth- CT rapid extension of the service un- til eventually 1t will reach out into every Arkansas county where no other organization 1t doing this work. with full time public health nurse on duty is the aim of the southwestern division nursing department, the an- nouncement sets forth. With the fourth roll call concluded, the first step in this enlargement will be the placing as soon as suitable personnel can be obtained of % additional public heath nurses in counties not now served, thus still farther expanding the service by l25 per cent.
 On January l of this year the num- Der of Red Cross public health nurses in Arkansas stood at two while on December 1 the total had climbed to 16. It is hoped to bring every Arkan- sas child under the supervision of d public health nurse to reduce the large proportion of physical defects hindering the best healthy develop ment. Not only the standard of per sonal health in the child life of the state but the scholarship rating as we'll will be improved, it is expected.
