TO everyone as Uncle Butch, died
Thursday morning at O'Clock at
his home eight miles north OF Jones'

the New Haven church. A serious
illness came upon him two weeks

death of his daughter, Mrs. VIII
Crowder. His heart was affected
and he never rallied from the shock
"He was surrounded by his chill

relatives when the end came, they

death was inevitable.
"The deceased was one of the old

county. He came here from Tennes-
see when mere boy and spent the
remainder of his life in Craighead
county and for years has resided
near New Haven. He was resident
of this county at the time the civil
war broke out and was one OF the
native sons who fought under the

REDUCTION OF
ARMY TO Be
CONSIDERED
Conference May Make Rec
ommendation for Future
Meeting on Subject
French Views Opposed.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The sub
ject of land armaments is by no
means to be ignored by the Wash
ington conference.
If there ever had been any idea
of ignoring the subject Lord Cur
zon's speech of Thursday with ref
erence to Frances apparent policy
of isolation, would have revived it.
1t is true, however, that the lead
ers in the Washington conference
do not believe it is practicable at
this time to draft any definite plans
to limit the size of land ornaments.
This was officially admitted yester-
day.
In attempting at this time to limit
armies, it was explained the confer
ence not only runs into the fears of
France regarding Germany and Rus
sia, but into conditions confronting
Poland, Jugo-Slavia, Czecho-Sloyakia
and other countries in, the vortex
Of central Europe where fears Of
armed conflict still abound.
New Conference Suggested.
But the conference can make some
recommendations that may result in
a future conference among European
nations with view to reducing land
armies and it probably will. This
was clearly indicated in official
quarters where it was said that all
that can be done OF practical ma
ture with relation to land arma-
ments will be done.
Prctical action is to be taken with
relation to rules of warfare. Inter
national law on this subject was
shot to pieces in the late war. The
action will refer to tho use of poison
gas and the use of aircraft. Sub
committees are already at work on
these subjects.
Lord Curzons speech, regarded as
an open declaration to France and
almost challenge to this confer
ence, is echoed in the minds OF
many delegates here who share with
him the view that there is little
use of reducing armaments at sea
If the nations are to continue piling
up vast land ornaments. The Cur
zon speech, it is believed, will have
some effect in stiffening the posi-
ton of Italy in it's demand that the
subject of land ornaments be treat
ed in some practical manner here.
The United States, while sympa-
thizing with France, did not go into
the conference after Mr.. BRAND s
impassioned speech and ask for a
resolution which Mr.. BRAND could
take home with him declaring that
nothing would be done here to
affect the size of the armies. Neith-
er did Great Britain, neither did
Japan. In fact no nation represent
ed here thought of such thing.
All agreed that it would be most
unwise and unfortunate indeed for
the success Of the conference for
anything to be recorded here which
could be construed as encourage
ment to the continuance of great
armies.

All in a Days Business oI Liner and Eastern
 Longshoremen.

NEW YORK, Aug 16.-Gold, tons of it. coming here on every large pas senger liner that, plies the Atlantic, is handled by seainen and longshore- men as nonchaiantly as if it were scrap iron.
 On such ships as the Olympic ar rive millions of dollars worth of the precious metal-shipments such as would have swamped an old gal leon sailing the Spanish Main. But the heavy, steel-bound boxes of in gots or coin stored away in the holds of the giant liners arouse among passengers and crew far less interest than the presence of an internation- ally known actress or prize-winning Pomeranian.
 It was recently announced that the U. s. subtreasury vaults here all ready hold $1,500, 100000 in gold, one fifth of the worlds entire supply. <
 Gold is classified as freight and certain rate per ton is paid for transporting it,D{altiough due to it's value special consideration is sgiven to it's safety On each of these big ships is vault-known in ship Ian guage as the strong room. It is a big box or chamber, heavily lined with armor plate steel located in one of the lower holds in such pos eition that 1t can be approached from but one direction, by a passage open l, ing from but one door or hatch
 There is no space around the strong room for would-be thief to work with drill, and indeed, if he himself prisoner Delivered to the ship in a Euro pean port, the purser carefully checks the number of boxes, note the stated value of the contents, sees to it that proper customs permits the name of the ship signs the bills of lading.

 On arrival in New York the gold shipments receive first attention after the passengers have been dis charged. A special force of long shoremen under the eye of trusted boss is led to the strong room in company with a representative of the bank or banks to which the gold Is assigned The boxes are checked out, loaded on trucks, a certain weight to each man, and trundled away to waiting vans near the ship sides.

 What would happen to the gold if the ship should meet with an ,acci- dent and go down?

How to Use Vfolets.

Violet time Is at hand. In addition to bouquet making these flowers have a number of uses which might we'll be more widely known. We are told that the blossom Is cough remedy, an emOllient and a medicine for increasing the precipitation. It is also used in the treatment of various infiammatory ill., nesses. A hair tonic may be made from violets by slowly pouring over them oil of sweet almonds, which ab- sorbs their fragrance, and mixing this with a quarter of its volume of 80 per cent alcohol. This emulsion Is said to prevent the hair from coming out if used daily. To perfume linen: Detach the violets from their stems and put them in a small bottle in alternate layers of violets and table salt. When the bottle Is half full, seal 1t hermeti- cally and put it in corner of the kitchen near the stove. At the end of three weeks the stopper may be drawn and the bottle placed among your linen, will infuSe the garments with the fragrance of violets. The next day take the bottle out and re- cork 1t. The process may then be re- peated whenever your linen needs per. fuming-From Le Petit Parisien.
