HOT SPRING, ARK, Apr. 1S.-A
plan for dividing the Board of Mis-
sions into Board of Home Missions
and a Board of Foreign Missions will
he before the general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, which meets here May 3 and
according to Bishop John NJ. Moore,
Of Nashville, the Bishops have ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to the
change.
Bishop Moore said the plan was
agreed on by commission which was
authorized ty the last General Con-
ference The commission, he said
was of the opinion that nsme mis-
sions could not receive in the Board
of Missions as now constituted the
consideration and emphasis which the
needs of the home field warranted.
THE fact that our work in the
nine foreign fields of China, Japan
Korea, Manchuria, Africa, Europe
Brazil, Cuba and Mexico has grown
to such proportions that it demands
the full time and attention of great
toard and the fact that the work OF
home missions has become tremend-
ously urgent have brought the com
mission to declare for two boards
Bishop Moore said.
Bishop Moore said the commission
was OF the opinion that home mis-
sicns should stand alone until il
comes TO itself in politics, movements
and methods of administration, and
then at the end of one or two quad
rienniums tho two boards could come
together on an equal basis and con
stitute one board with two distinct
but allied departments"
The Woman's Missionary Council
would not be affected by the propos
ed change, Bishop Moore said. be,
cause the council had always had {
department of home missions and g
department of foreign missions.

HOW SOUND is TRANSMITTED
Vibration of the Air Brings II TO the
Ear-Traveis Faster in Summer
Than in Winter.

Sound Is transmitted 10 the ear
by the vibration of the air. When
one particle of air is made TO yibrate
IL sets the adjacent particles to vi
brating. and SO sound wave, IL not
INSTRUCTED, passes in all directions
from the sounding body. The calcu-
lated velocity of sound in the air
when the temperature Is at freezing
point is 915.69 feet per second. When
the temperature. Increases, sound
travels faster, and the rate-has been
calculated at a little more than one
foot per second for each degree of
rise in Fahrenheit's thermometer.
Contrary 10 popular belief, sound
travels faster in summer than in
winter, and in warm than in cold
climates. II might be thought that
sound would travel more slowly
through a dense atmosphere, but the
elasticity increases as rapidly as the
density, and. therefore. the velocity
Of sound is not affected by varying
density. The velocity of sound In
water, when at the greatest density. is
4.7O74 feet per second. The expert
ments by which this velocity was de-
termined were made by M.'Callaodin.

LOS ANGELES, CALF. Apr. 10
Weather conditions are responsible
,or target practice of the Pacihc
Fleet off the Southern California
coast being occasionally mistaken for
earthquake shocks, according TO re-
port made TO tho Chamber OF Com
nerce of this city by DIR. Ford A.
Carpenter, head of the meteorological
bureau of the chamber.
DR.. Carpenter cited cases of Jan
lary II and March 90 last when vi
rations caused by big gun fire rat
led houses many miles inland and
resulted in reports of earthquakes
rom widely scattered localities.
1T is a well known fact" the re-
port continued, that sound coming
rom some point may be heard more
distinctly at certain times than at
Ithers. The distance at which the
rhe wind direction plays most i'm
)ortant part in this. If tho sound
uniting body is in the direction from
shich the wind is coming, the sound
nay lie heard more distinctly. 1t can
seen readily that sound waves
ravelling in the opposite direction
rom which the wind is blowing or
gainst the wind, will be broken up

Go Back to Fifteenth Century.

If anything should astonish us about
trees it is their longevity. The life OF
animals is ephermeral compared to
that of our trees. The pine and great
chestnut can assuredly extend their
existence TO term of 400 or 900
years. In the Island of Teneriffe are
found many venerable pines and enor-
nous chestnut trees which in all prob
ability were planted there by the con-
quiStadores at the commencement OF
the Fifteenth century, the epoch OF
the invasion of the island.
The former are distinguished from
the others. owing to the conquerors
having in their piety decorated them
nearly all with little madonnas, which
are still seen suspended to their
boughS.

At THE CIRCLE TONIGHT

"Chivalrous Charley" starring Eu-
gene O'Brien, a new Selznick comedy,
will be the attraction at the Circle
Playhouse tonight.
AS Charley Reilly, returning from
life among the cowpunchers to life
along Broadway, Mr.. O'Brien plays
he role of temperameltal Irish
American youth whose one weakness
is an uncomfortable urge to assist
ladies in distress. His uncle and
guardian. the political boss of New
York and soft-hearted admirer Of his
boob" nephew, prepares to receive
his prOtege on his arrival, when a
telephone message from the boy in
forms him of his arrest for having
unwittingly helped an escaping con-
fidence woman to escape a detective.
Thus auspiciously opens the tale of
the trials Of "Chivalrous Charlie"
And for a number of intensely en-
pertaining reels the graphic account
of these same trials, augmented by
attentions from crooks and metro
politan police, and from ladies fair
and fast, keeps the spectator on the
edge of his seat At last, old gentle
man Reilly balks at writing off his
nephew's experiences on the stubs
of a check hook, and he leaves the
city for his estate in New Rochelle,
advising Charley before going that
the town is wide open. Whatever has
transpired of excitement so far in
the story fades completely in the
whirlwind which follows Charley's eff
forts to go it alone.-(Ady.)

VEGETABLE NOTES

Tomato plants may now be trans.
planted in Eastern District in open
ground. In the Pee Dee and Pied
ment Districts and similar ATTITUDES
we find April 10th and 18th as early
as advisable.
Tomato seed may also be planted
in open ground either in a bed or
directly in the field where plants are
intended to grow.
Snap Beans-Plant 1000 to
One" and the Stringless Green Pod
because Of their superior eating
qualities, Drill. in the seed instead of
dropping in hills as this gives more
room to each individual plant. Where
you much cultivate largely with a
hoe there is some advantage in drop
ping in hills about a foot apart or
wide enough to let the hoe 60 be-
tween. Be sure to fertilize these
early beans we'll if you want a good
crop.
Butter Beans-Plant these as
soon as the ground is warm and
danger Of frost is past, about the
same time you plant cotton.
Cabbage-Try a patch Of cabbage
at his time, planting the seed in the
field right where you intend them to
grow. The All-Season and Succession
varieties are the best. These cab
bages will head in July, after the
early. crop is off. The main trouble
you may have with them is the
green worm, but if you keep them
growing rapidly, you al keep ahead
Of the worms by busting with lime
and arsenate of lead 8 to 1.
Tomato Blight or Widths fun
gus disease is very common. Now
the only real remedy or preventative
is to plant your tomatoes on land
that is not affected with the fungus.
Do not plant tomatoes on land that
has had either tomatoes, Irish pota-
toes or watermelons grown on it,
for at least four years. Use lime
liberaly, broadcast on the land Ell
Their before or after setting your
plants. Also he sure the land is we'll
