No Basis for Conference.
By NEWTON c. PARKE,

THE basis of a formal Irish peace
conference has not yet been found.
Mr.. de Valera has arranged to return
to Ireland tomorrow. He will com.
municate with Premier Lloyd George

CLEVELAND. July 21.-The pre-.
diction that John d. Rockefeller, who
recently celebrated his eighty second
birthday. will live to be 100 years old,
was made today by DR.. II. #. Biggar.
his physician and lifelong friend.
The doctor. who is also eighty-two,
looks forward to a golf match with
the oil financier, when both have
rounded out the century mark.
To DR.. Biggar is given the credit
for prolonging the life of the worlds
richest man.
"Mr. Rockefeller has always said he
would live to a very old age. He is
in better health now than many men
OF fifty" said DR.. Bigsar. Amy one
who follows his sensible way of living
can live to be a centenarian."
Stories that the stomach Of the
aged master of the worlds greatest
fortune is too weak for anything ex-
cept liquid nourishment were branded
as false by DR.. Biggar.
Can Eat Anything.
mfr. Rockefeller once had indiges-
ton, but he does not suffer from 1t
now" said the physician. "He can
eat anything, but he observes one of
the prime laws of health and eats
moderately. For breakfast he eats
cereal, eggs. and milk. often have
heard him remark as he rose from the
dinner table, L could have eaten
more His good sense tells him that
moderation in diet is a prerequisite Of
endurance"
DIR. Biggar modestly disclall the
credit for rejuvenating the richest
man in the world.
II am only one of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's physicians" he said. las a
matter of fact, Mr.. Rockefeller has
sense enough to remain in excellent
health and has profited only indi-
rectly by my professional advice.
He has an analytical mind and would
have figured IL out for himself.
"He lives regularly and simply and,
therefore, wisely. His day runs by
schedule. He, has a certain time for
golf. a certain time for writing, AMI
SO forth.
AT dinner he always surrounds
himself by a few congenlal friends.
After dinner he likes to play with
his guests a game called numerical
II is a mathematical type of game.
Mr.. Rockefeller believes ii aids di-
gestion.
Fond Of Music.
He retires early and rises early.
He likes to hear music at rising and
on retiring. Usually some one plays
old-time tunes and negro melodies
on a violin.
Golf has played a great part in
conserving Mr.. Rockefeller's health"
Dr. Biggar continued.
For men over fifty, golf is per
haps the best sport. For men under
fifty, tennis and cricket are pUth
good games. Horseback riding Is
another excellent exercise for a man

and base It's action on the theory that
the street car company had TO have
that surplus profit, because, II such
an order were entered, IL would
promptly be set aside by. the courts,
which would not permit the consumers
of one kind Of service to be bled for
the benefit of another kind of service.

company by the railway company and
directs the Utilities Commission to
treat the two as one concern.
Don't overlook the fact that that's
all there Is to the Woods bill. There
are sixteen pages Of t., and q host OF
other provisions, but EVERY OTHER
ONE HAS A STRING ON 1T.
First, the bill authorizes the Capital
Traction and the Washington Rail
way and Electric to merge.
That authority means nothing be.
cause they refuse to merge and can.
not be compelled to.
Then IL repeats the existing laws
that impose a tax OF per cent on the
gross receipts of street car companies
that require street car companies to
paw for paving between their rails
and to. pay for crossing policemen
All OF those things are made condi
tionai on the merger Of the Capital

and Electric.
Unless those two major street car
systems consolidate none of the other
things can happen.

the short skirts and other feminine
fashions of the day. The eminent
physician said:

ladies dress nowadays is constitu-

NEW ACTS FOR GOVERNING
OF STATE.

The first test of the MeRae admins
tration came in the Senate when the
bill for the adjustment of the Arkan.
sas Penitentiary Commission was
passed Is to Is.
The bill had been passed in the
house, where it had been introduced
by Representative Gates of Lonoke
However, the Senate amended the bill
by eliminating the section providing
that executions of prisoners may be
performed by contract with Pulaski
County officials.
Senators were disagreed as to
whether the close vote is indicative
of the lineup on all other administra-
ton measures.
Embodying the special message of
the governor received in the Senate,
Senator Wilson of Washington coun.
ty introduced measure which would
withdraw from sale for a period of
five years all state and school lands,
during which time provision would be
made for its sale or lease at prices
commensurate with its value.
A bill was introduced by Represen-
tative Gates of Lonoke which pro-
vides for the repeal of Act No. 571 of
1919, creating the Arkansas Corpora
ton Commission. This act makes no
provision for substitute. 1t is re-
ported that similar bill will be Of
fered in the Senate where there are
pending other measures for the aboli-
ton of the commission
The latter part of the week was de.
voted to the consideration and adj
