COMBINE HOLDS UP
 BUILDING OPERATIONS
(Py United presaj

Chicago, April 7.-An economic triangle, with contractors, material men and labor at the corners has tied up S100,000, ,000 worth of build ing in Chicago, according to architects.
 "The material man must reduce his price; the contractor effect harmony out of chaotic condition and the workman must accept something req sonable," declared Ernest R. Graham, architect.
 Graham said there will be little building in the United States until the three elements get together.
 It is declared plans for business structures, apartment buildings and dwelling places representing s1o0,- 100000 are lying on the desks of Chi cago architects awaiting a readjust- ment of construction cost.
 Lumber prices are attacked by archi- tects, claiming they are 150 per cent higher than 1914. Lumber men in- sist, however, the per cent IS but sixty.
 Carpenters, the architects say, may accept S1 an hour as their part of a program to stimulate building.

OUACHITA SERIES
 WON BY TEACHERS
ERRORS, RAIN MAR GAME
Normal First to Donate Scores Tigers Following Suit Before
 Shower Ended Contest.

Errors, hits. and an April shower combined yesterday afternoon to givs the State Normal School 6-to-5 de- cision over the Ouaehita Tigers in fthe final game of the series between the two schools. game that was ss sensational in the five innings play cd as in the usual nine inning game.
 By winning the five-inning contest yesterday afternoon the State Nor nal has practically eliminated Ouach- ta from the running in the champion ship race of the Arkansas Intercol- legiate Athletic Conference. The Bears, as the Normal team is now named, has won three of the five games against the Tigers, and in ad- dition has defeated Russellville Az gies, and Little Rock College two times ealh, laking in all seven wins out of nine games.
 Credit will have to be given the Ouachita Tigers for their generous ness, although the Normal nine played the Alfonso stunt first, when they presented the Tigers with the ball game in the first and third innings. The Tigers, however, were unusually polite and promptly returned the game in the third, fourth and fifth innings.
 To begin the game exchange, Tan her, pitching for the Bears, walked the first man, and then miscued on his throw to second on an attempted sacrifice. A hit by Cargile scored two runs. Three more runs were pre- sented the Tigers in the third inning. the whole Normal infield getting their names in the presenta tion card.
 Not to be outdone by such gener- oslty, the Tigers in the last half of the third inning gave Normal team It's first chance to score Rowland, left gardener, was the dispenser of generosity. After Tanner had flied out to him, Hammer hit another fly to left field which Rowland allowed to bounce out. Henderson followed with triple, scoring Hammer. Gravy Carglle added his name to the pre- sentation card by making two errors on Wollys grounder, allowing Hen derson to score and Wolly to take second. A double by Brannon SCOT ed Wolly, giving the Bears three ~uns in this inning.
 One more run was annexed in the touth inning, while the black cloud was rolling up from the west. Then came the last of the fifth-and the ball game. Brannan, who by the way had a perfect day at bat, led off with single to right field. Fair popped out to Dews but Weatherly lined one to center field, Brannan stopping at third. With two strikes on Lynch, Montgomery let one get by him, and Brannan scored, Weatherly going to third. Brannan's score tied the game and the rain started. On the next ball, Lynch hit to Cargile, Weatherly scoring the winning run just as the downpour of rain caused halt in the contest.

 Maxine, the little two-year old baby girl of Mr. and Mrs. Zoar Ira a:anstedt had her hands severely burned by fall ing in the fire. She was sitting in a rocking chair when the chair tilted over, throwing the child in the fire It was fortunate that there was but little fire in the fire place when the accident happened.
 Fruit and garden truck were badly damaged by last weeks cold snap.
 But little corn has been planted here, Several of our farmers are about ready to plant this week.
 Pay your taxes this week if you can.
 In reading last weeks items from different correspondents we notice quite an interest in Sunday school work and singing is manifested by the people of so many localities. This sounds good to us. Every community should have and maintain good live Sunday school and singing class. This is SO much better than Tipping cards, throwing dice and playing ball on Sunday.

NO GAS TAXEXCEPT
 UPON AUTOMOBILES

Little Rock, April Those who use gasoline for farm tractors or gasoline launches do not have to pay the tax provided for in the act passed by the recent legislature, placing a tax Of l cent per gallon on gasoline. The attorney geenral has received numcr- ous letters regarding the interpreta- ton of the act. In reply to one of these letters Attorney General Utley said:
 q do not understand that the pur- chaser of gasoline for a stationary en- zine is required to pay the tax. Al so while for some purposes river IS a highway, it is not my opinion that it was the intention of the legislature to include this in the gasoline law, for it is we'll known that the purpose of the tax is to provide fund for the construction and maintenance of public roads.
 "As to the question of one purchas- ing gasoline for stationary engine and then using same for a motor ve- hicle over the highways, will say that he would violate the law. There seems to be no punishment provided however, except against the man whose duty it is to collect. If the seller has reason to believe that it is not being used properly, it occurs to. me that he could protect himself by making the pur- chaser sign an affidavit as to the dse to which he will mt if r

 However, the operation was more dangerous to the surgeon" than to the patient. A workman climbed up the statue, bored holes in each one of Williams limbs and drained two buckets of water out of each mem Der. Now MT. Penn has recovered sufficiently to receive callers.

Washington. June 29.-The meeting
that Gen. Dawes called for can be de-
scribed withou, extrava gance IS poten-
TALLY tho most important thing that has
happened in Washington during this
administration. II is the first time that
such a thing has ever happened in the
conduct OF the governments business.
In the conduct of private business by
any compact corporation this sort Of
thing happens all the time. and it Is at
the very heart Of good management.
President Harding will attend the
meeting. all the Cabinet officers will be
there, all the heads Of individual de-
partnents like the Smithsonian Inst-
tue" the Shipping Board, and various
others. all the chiefs Of bureaus. all the
assistant chiefs Of bureaus. all the chief
clerks. and many others who have i'm
portant parts in tho management Of III"
governments daily business. will be-
there.
That no ono ever before has had III"
