VOICE PIPES

THE hairy savage has legends
X about his gods and spirits. The
navy is not so different In the fleet
there are stock yarns about everv-
thing, from radio ticklerS and secret
codes to rubber boots and sWabs. The
innocent voice pipe has come In for
it's share.
First what is voice pipe? This
piping is brass or composition (that II
will not rusD, from two to four inches
in diameter, depending on the length;
and there may be 10000 feet of it on
single ship. 1t is used to commune
cate from one place to another when
telephones, bells, buzzers, and other
systems are shot away.
On certain up-tO-date fighting
craft-sO the legend runS-there was
voice pipe from chart house to en-
ginerOOm, with q branch to the chief
engineers cabin. For the admirars
or captains curiosity this arrange
ment was great qualification
Two points about this pipe make the
story possible. First it led and opened
straight just above the middle Of the
chiefs bunk. Tn emergency he could
be called at night. Secondly the ma
chinist in charge Of the starboard en-
ginerO0m was an artist on an har-
monica. 1t is worth adding that the
admiral abhOrred a harmOnica, fairly
lOathed it's lethal winnings.
One quiet night at sea the old man
was indulging in nice hot cup Of tea
in the pilot house. Said lethal whin-
ings sifted up through the voice pipe.
"That ID caterwauI again. he ex-
claimed And just the way he said
"again" was hymn Of hate by itself.
Such a peaceful tropical night it
was Warm too. And the chief lay
face downward on his bunk, bare and
cool, bare as the day he was born. Face
down
"WOW!!p He leaped naked into
the night. Clutching himself behind
he fairly screamed up the tube. What
ne said was indistinct except at the
end came: "just wait you" and a
gurgle.
Three minutes later he was in the
charthouse. 1t was empty. So was
the admirars teapot. Another ten Sec
onds and he was on the bridge. So
was the admiral.
Each said good evening. That's all
one says to an admiral.

SMALL DAMAGE BY
 LIGHTNING BOLTS
NEARLY / INCHES OF RAIN
Recorded at Conway in Storm Begin. ming Wednesday MOrning-Three
 Houses Hit by Lightning.

At least three homes in Faulkner county, two at Conway and one at Vllonia, were struck by lightning last night during the rainstorm which began Wednesday and continued through today, but the amount of damage was small and no one was seriously injured A bolt struck the home of John Erbacher on North Front street, coming in apparently on both electric light and telephone wires. Mrs. Erbacher and the chil- dren were slightly stunned but not seriously hurt. The lightning set fire to one of the interior walls, but it was extinguished without much dam- age. Another bolt hit the residence of Tom Davis on Caldwell street, but did only small amount of damage. Lightning struck a residence at Vi lonia, tearing up one of the rooms, but injuring no one, according to a report received here today. The name of owners of the residence was not learned.
 Telegraph and long distance wires to Little Rock were all out of con- mission from late last night until about 9:30 o'clock today, as result of last nights storm.
 The rainfall during the present storm totals nearly seven inches, amounting to more in three days than had occurred in three preceding months. It exceeds the record break ing flood of April 26, when 6.05 inches of precipitation was recorded here, but the April rain all occurred during one night and morning. The precipitation from early Wednesday morning, when the first rain occurred until noon today totals 6.87 inches according to the records of Prof. E E. Cordrey, local observer for the United States weather bureau. Il was distributed as follows: To noor Wednesday, .75 inch; noon Wednes- day to noon Thursday, 2.93 inches noon Thursday to noon Friday, 31s inches.
 Detours on some of the new high ways were rendered impossible by mud and high water today, but little actual damage has been reported as a result of the excessive rains The thorough soaking of the ground will be a benefit to farm operations as the soil has heretofore been to dry to permit fall breaking and sow ing. All cotton and practically all corn crops have ben gathered and no damage occurred to them.

"OVER THE WIRE."

In "Over the Wire," the Wesley Ruggles production for Metro, which will be seen at the Ideal theatre to- night, Alice Lake, the brilliant little screen actress, who plays the star ring role, has a picture specially made for her by Arthur Somers Roche. The later is distinguished as . writer of fiction.
 Strong hate that in the crucible of emotion changes to love, is the great underlying theme of this re- markable picture, which has all the vitality and life characteristic of the works on MT. Roche. The story, briefly, deals with Terry Dexter, who commits suicide rather than face ex- posture as a swindler by a financial magnate, John Grammar. Before Terry dies he telephones his sister, Kathleen, that the end is come. Kathleen distrait, VOWS she will avenge her brothers death through runining Grammar. This involves a series of escapades, a Wall Street coup, marriage, elopement, and a sudden life and death adventure, where Kathleen, to her amazement, finds that she does not hate her hus- band, Granan, but loves him.
 The scenario is by Edward Lowe, Jr. Allan Siegler photographed the picture, and the art settings were ex- ecuted by J. J. Hughes. The able supporting cast include Albert Ros- COG, George Stewart and Alan Hale.

.|NSPfCTS NORMAL IN SCHOOL SURVEY
 BY EDUCATION EXPERTS
Dr. Bowden, Head of Survey, Takes General View of Local School
 as States Hub.

Three experts from the United States department of education, de- tailed to assist in the survey of Ar kansas public schools under direction of the commission recently appointed by Governor McRae, have inspected the work being done at the State Normal School as the hub of the public school system in Arkansas. Dr. w. T. Bowden of Washington, head of the forces actually making the survey, was one of the number sent here. Other members of the survey team will come here later to inspect the departments especially assigned them.
 Dr. Bowden spent Wednesday at the State Normal to take a general view of the school in it's relation to the school system of the state. Dr. Bowden is assistant to the federal commissioner of education.
 Dr. George F. Took was assigned to the Normal for Wednesday, Thurs day and today to make a detailed survey of the plant and all activities of the school. Dr. Cooks work will be more at length than that done by Dr. Bowden and will embrace numer- ous phases of activity at the Normal.
 Mrs. Katherine M. Cook spent Tuesday here to look over the work of rural teachers.
 The findings of the educational ex- perts will go into the general report of the survey team, which will be used by the state government and the forward education movement as the basis for impromevent and en- largement of public school facilities in Arkansas. Pres. B. w. Torreyson stated today that the final report of the survey probably would not be compiled and issued before spring, although preliminary statement may be made before that time.
 Governor McRae approved the survey when suggested by the for ward education movement as the most certain and only scientific way in which the educational needs of the state could be exactly determined. He appointed the commission and the survey teams was recruited with the assistance of the federal department of education.
