 OVER TILL MAY }
DEMURRER IS OYERRULED
Chancery Court Makes Order Putting w. A. Hill and J. A. Mode in
 Charge of Ice Plant.

After an order was made without objection everything the demurrer o1 the defendants late yesterday, the suits brought by Judge P. H. Prince against the Damascus, Vilonia and Palarm road districts were passed by the Faulkner chancery court until May 3, which Judge J. E. Martineau of Little Rock, presiding in the place of Judge Jordan Sellers, set down as a day for an adjourned term of the court.
 AS the hearing will come after the final day for paying the assessments due in the road distrcts-April 10 = those who fail to pay will incur lia- bility to the penalty for delinquents, which is 25 per cent
 The case was not reached until late in the afternoon. The districts, by their attorney, R. w. Robins, filed an answer and demurrer, but did not elect to stand upon the demurrer, pre- ferring that the case should go before the court upon it's merits. The court thereupon overruled the demurrer and it will now devolve upon the plaintiffs to take testimony to sustain the allega- tions made in the complaint.
 By decision rendered after a hear ing which occupied the greater DOT tion of the day J. A. Mode and w. A. Hill were placed in control of the plant of the Citizens Ice and Fuel Company of Conway and w. c. Daugherty, superintendent of the plant since it's establishment here, was restrained from interfering with the management and control by the plain tiffs in the suit. The case will come up for final hearing May 8. The plaintiffs claimed that Daugherty had usurped control of the plant without authority and asked for the appoint ment of a receiver. Daugherty as- serted that he had purchased a con- trolling interest in the company from Hill and had given the latter his notes for the purchase money. Hill, how ever, claimed that the sale to Daugh- erty was upon certain conditions which were not complied with. The court denled the petition for receivership, but granted an order restraining Daugherty from the management of the company's affairs and recurring both Daugherty and Hill to deposlt their stock certificates with the clerk of the court pending a final decree.
 The docket in detail is as follows:
 5. F. Merritt vs. w. F. Merritt. sale confirmed; deed acknowledged in open court.

When this eighth Congressional { position is created, it will al first be filled by the election of 8 Congressman at- large, pend ing the redistricting of the state: This cannot be done until the legislature of 1923 and the reap

Weekly News
 By Clio Harper

Little Rock, Ark, August 1st There is no famine. or even near famine, in Arkansas. It is true that cotton and rice farmers have been hard hit, collections are slow and money is tight, but Ark ansas is several thousand laps ahead of 8 famine conditions. While the letter of President Harding, which has 30 deeply stirred the South, made no spe- cial reference to Arkansas. any mOr than to any other Southern states, the citizenship of Arkan- sas have resent d in no uncertain way the imputation that the state is on the verge of suffering. President Harding's solicitude is doubtless sincere and well meant, but the fact remains that condi- tions have been misrepresented to a considerable extent.
 It appears to have been due largely to reports of an increased incidence of pelIagra. This is a disease largely confined to the South and to hot weather and is due, so far as medical knowledge can explain, to improper or insuf- ticient diet. Health authorities admit that there has been an in crease in the number of pellagra cases, but this is not sufficient ground upon which to charge the prevalence or even the possibility of famine. Arkansas is produc. ing bumper crops of food pro- ducts this year. especially corr and other grains, although the cotton crop will be considerably reduced on account of the de. creased acreage and a greater in festation of the boil weevil.

STEAMERS THAT
 WON'T ROCK PROMISED

London, Aug. 26 - The world IS promised shortly ships that will not rock in the cradle of the deep and mariners a life on the rolling waves with all the roll out of it.
 A magical contrivance called the Sperry gyroscope has beaten the bil- lows. It enables ships to be sta biIized. no matter what the weather.
 According to experts vessels can be maintained within two degrees of the vertical under all conditions.
 Thus it seems as though the long sought cure for sea sickness that has so long eluded ships doctors will eventually be found in the engine room.
 American Liner First.
 Most of the shipping companies are considering gyroscopes, but the first liner to be fitted with this new wonder will be the American 1S,00O- tonner Huron, formerly known as the Friedrich der Crosse. The value of stabilIzers in war time is obvious. America is trying the gyroscope equipment on one of lsI destr overs, and the Brlush Admire-eS is about to follow sult; The gvroscopic stabilizer consists of two rotating wheels, or discs, thirteen feet in diameter and weighing forty five tons each, which may be placed in the engine room region of a ship and take up comparatively small space.
 The effect of the equipment is to oppose the motion of each successive wave, so that ahe ship is kept travel ing evenly.

SKIN GRAPHING TAKES OFF BRAND
 OF SLAVERY
Beautiful Armenian, Five Years a Turkish Slave, Will Marry, Now Face Is Cleared.

Ann Arbor, Mich August 26.-Into every large hospital there come at times patients with heart breaking stories locked tight within their bosoms, and just such was brought to the University hospital in this city. A girl was wheeled into the surgical clinic who once had been rarely beautiful She was 20, with the dark rich complexion and the sparkling eye of the healthy young Armenian, but her beauty was ruined by tattoo marks at the corners of her lips. in the middle of her forehead, at either side of her nsse. and under the lower lip. These meant that as a slave in a Turkish household she had been kept for what Americans would sal sal immoral purposes" They are the marks of the concubine.
 She escaped after five years. and came to Detroit.
 But even in America there was lit tie happiness for her. Her face was which Americans stared because they knew not what it meant and from which her fellow Armenians averted their gaze because they knew. and she was always in tears because of it.
 In time she met one of her own countrymen who fell in love with her and who wanted to marry her. She refused because she bore the mark might see. Some one told the Ar menian of the wonderful skin graft ing that had been accomplished by the surgical staff in the University hospital and he persuaded the girl to come here. With her came the young Armenian, and on the card the hospital gives to next of kin who ac- company patients here he signed his name, and opposite the question What Relation ?" he wrote France for the girl had promised to become his wife if the tattoo marks were ob- liberated.
 It was quite a time after the oper. at!ch before the young Armenian gir could be persuaded to look at herself in the mirror. and then she shout ed aloud for joy. There was no hint ot the ugly brand of the Turk-nothins to show that she had once been held as a Turkish slave. And in Detroit some time this fall it is said the lit tie Armenian girl and her Armenian man will be married

MEXICAN hAINTS COIN
 147OO,OOO GOLD PESOS
Paper Money Has Dropped Out of Sight in Southern Republic, Either Native or American.

Monterey, Mexico. Aug. 26-During the first six months of the present calendar year there were coined in Mexico gold pieces to the amount of 14,7O0,OO pesos, equivalent to ST. 350,00 United States currency. The hints are running to full capacity and are expected to coin during the last six months of the year an amount of gold pieces equal to that turned out during the first six months it is stated.
 Gold coins are being circulated in far greater numbers than silver money in all parts of Mexico The pieces most generally circulated are of the denomination of , pesos, ? F pesos and l peso. The latter coin is so small as to be easily lost.
 It is smaller than an American dime and it is reluctantly accepted by most people. Absolutely no CUTS rency, either Mexican or American, is now to be seen in Mexico. It is said that there are vast sums of silver pe- sos in hiding in Mexico: also that an enormous amount of gold that is be- ing placed in circulation is finding it's way into secret hoards.

WOMEN ADD INCH AND A HALF
 TO AVERAGE STATURE IN 40 YEARS
Philadelphia Dressmakers Are Forced to Use More Cloth Perpendicularly Because Outdoor Sports
 Have Increased Height.

participation of women in sports and various forms of exercise actually has brought about a change in her height is not simply a case of athletics hav- ing taught a oman to stand straight CT. It is an actual change that can be measured"
 In comme enting on the change Tn the feminine physique several Phi adelphian dressmakers said that the change was principally noticeable in a higher chest and larger waistllne, but that perhaps the change in waistline was due more to the dic- tates of Paris than any actual phy- sical change
 MT. Hermann, however. holds that there has been actual shifting in the figure lines.
 '-The oldtime hip measurement has disappeared" he said. This. of course, does not actually mean that the hip measurement has grown smaller, but the waistline has actu- ally grown larger, and gives that ap- pearance. Chests have been built up because exercise has taught wo- men to breathe properly and slow ly. It will add to the years of their life. To breathe slowly is to live longer The tortoise, the slowest breathing animal of all, lives a thou sand years"
