hemisphere in a manner similar
TO the league OF nations. was pro-
posed today by the Panama mis-

Such league would be more

McRae is doing his utmost in his official capacity to promote the con- struction of a government hospital at Bonneville for tubercular ex-ser- vice men and women. In a message to a government official in Washing ton, D. C., the governor said:
 q desire to impress upon your or ganization the urgent necessity for providing separate disqualification for tubercular ex-service men at the Ark ansas Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Bonneville, this state One hundred acres of this state property has been ceded to the United States by recent act of the legislature, which I have approved, for the purpose of erecting United States Public Health Service Hospital for tubercular ex-service men, and I believe the surgeon gen. eral can authorize the construction of such hospital with a capacity of ap- proximately 250 beds at Bonneville without the necessity for congress sional action. Fort Logan H. Roots will with increased facilities, author ized by congress, take care of approx imately 1000 ex-service men disabled from other causes"
 The chairman of the public health committee of the House has wired that he appreciates the offer made by Arkansas and that all facts have been placed before the committee for analysis and that as quickly as pos sible he will make a report of the action agreed upon.

bearing A few years ago, say 20
 or 25, it was difficult to find an eating
 place in Little Rock outside the regu-
 lar hotel dining rooms and private
 boarding houses. Then the modern cafe and restaurant began to appear, to be followed few years ago by the cafeteria. It used to be fashionable for men and women to eat breakfast, dinner and supper in their own home. Now it is different. The wife hasn't time to cook and servants are diff cult to find and keep. She must at tend the club and the bridge party in the afternoon which leaves no time for home duties, so papa and mama and all the children hie themselves to the cafeteria where they meekly stand in line with tray in hand to buy the meals they should be getting at home. Now there are literally hun dreds of places in Little Rock where one can get meal. In fact, eating seems to have become one of the habits of the people and the restaur- ants, cafes and cafeterias are overrun with customers.

OIL SHOWING AT
 BRITT'S SWITCH
Persistent Reports Direct From 5. $. Hunter Well Are to the Effect That Nice Showing of Oil Has Been Found.

In a telephone conversation by local business man yesterday with J. G. Green of Bierne, who is watch ing closely the operations at Britt's Switch, seven miles north of Prescott, MT. Green stated emphatically that a nice showing of oil has been found in the s. s. Hunter test at a depth of 530 feet, but further evidence of producing well could not be estab- lshed for at least a week, as the drillers are at work night and day casing off a flow of fresh water which is causing a great deal of worry and is handicapping the work.
 This test was abandoned some months ago by parties who began the operations, and recently were taken over by Mr. Hunter, who resumed drilling about two weeks ago and his crew with the use of a rotary rig have been making good progress until Wednesday, when the water flow was encountered and it was while working on this that indications of oil were discovered. The crew spent all last night bailing out the hole and the casing will be lowered as soon as possible so that drilling can be re- sumed. MT. Hunter came in to prom thence recently when it was reported that he sold a producing we'll at Steph ems to the Standard Oil interests for over million dollars and the name of Hunter was widely mentioned in oil circles all over the state.
 It is said that J. G. Green of Bierne and B. Wells of this city, have also found a showing of oil at their we'll at Bull Mountain near Wheeler Springs, but because of the limited size of the rig, which is small and is only used for drilling water wells, operations have been suspended tenn porarily until better equipment can be installed for oil drilling. This well is at depth of $40 feet and bottles of the crude have been displayed here which are said to have come from the Bull Mountain well.
