My Dear Sir:
You will remember several
months ago I walked into your
store LIMPING with callouses,
although l had on some old arch
supports, they did not remedy
my trouble, as they were placed
there by one who must not have
known his business. You fitted me
with some that gave immediate re-

as anybody. I think the suffering

When the hearing was resumed

cussion Of the case.

I'VE need not disguise the fact
that this is an important case. In
my opinion, we are not trying Ros-
coe Arbuckle's alone, the screen ce-
Iebrlty VINO has given mirth to the
whole world. We are, in a sense,
trying ourselves, our morals, our
present-day social standards. The
question is larger than the guilt of
this unfortunate man-it is a uni
versal issue.
The affair was the elimination
of an orgy at one of our leading hos.
telries. An orgy unrepressed by the
management is, take it, common
thing in our big cities.
Il had really hoped that this
court would be the avenue for full
and complete revelation Of all the
facts, so the public of the entire
world would have the opportunity TO
ascertain this widely known defend
ants guilt or innocence"
He then continued his analysis OF
the affair.

 inst been brought after the terrible experience which he passed thru un- seathed. He comes from Commerce, Tex, and was a rigger on the lll- fated airship. He is of boyish ap- pearance, 20 years old and of wlry build.
 "We were all in the highest spirits when we left Howden on the trial flight" he said. "We sailed over the North Sea first and then started down the North coast to Pullman. A thick fog developed, so it was found lm- possible to land at Pullman. In fact the fog was so dense we were more or less lost, altho we knew the general locality.
 "We were flying at height of about $500 with the wireless keeping in touch with both Howden and Pull ham. The ship was behaving finely and there was not a sign of weakness anywhere.
 "We drove over the sea again and as the fog continued bad We flew along the coast until Wednesday af- ternoon when we sighted land at Hull. We then flew across to Howden where it was decided to land at 6;30 p. m, so we sailed over Hull again. We circled Hull twice and the speed trial was completed without hitch.
 "A test of the ships control then began. l was at the lower rudder, proceeding back to the tail and had just reached the cockpit when there was a tremendous crash The girder amidships broke and the ship split in halves
 Both the tail and the nose imme- diately pointed downward and the halves started to descend toward the Humber.
 q certainly cannot describe my sensation, but I thought my time had come.
 q made a rush for the tail to get parachute, but I found two of my English comrades, Harry Bateman and Walter Potter, were already there. 1 knew there was only one chute there for the three of us. Bateman had the chute and jumped, but it fouled and he hung to the tail or the dlrlgible.
 Both Potter and I started to run forward for other parachutes, but just as l got in the keel there came an explosion of either a petrol tank or hydrogen, and flames immediately began to sweep the forward part of our half of the ship.
 What was happening to our con- rades in other parts of the dirigible l don't know. Most of the officers and crew were amidships, either seat ed or lying in their hunks, when the girders broke. At least one man dropped thru the gap made by the break. Possibly others did but proi- ably most of them rolled forward when the airship's nose went down.

THE IMPORTANT THING.

One great thing necessary to Mena's success in landing the Assembly of the Nj. E. church, South, for Arkan- sas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Louisiana and Texas, is that every resident of Mena should understand the magni- tude of the enterprise, and what it will mean to the city and community. The Star, always firm believer in our climatic advantages, feels sure that if We can secure the assembly, in ten years the hills all about will be dotted with homes, and that the old dream of 10000 population for Mena will be far outstripped. With from 2.000 to 5000 well-to-do people spending three months or more with us, year after year, we are certain to hold i large number People who know Mena know this.
 The Methodist assembly that Mena is trying to locate here is perman- ent institution and is not a fiy-by- night concern. Once established it will start growing and continue to grow just as long as there are Metho- dlsts m the states of the district. With the added advantages of Mena's eli mate and water and beautiful sur. roundings, there's no telling how large the assembly might eventually be come. This explanation is made to have correct wrong impression some have formed regarding the assembly.
