CUPID CLAIMS
SEVERAL VICTIMS
THREE WASHINGTON COUPLES
wED-ALL PROMINENT IN
SOCIETY CIRCLES.

Cupid has been active in and
around Washington and from
the little darts shot by him an
an epidemic of marriages
spread last week among our So
cial set. Epidemics have been
common the world over, but
science and research have al
ways found methods of check
ing them except when the little
germ of love finds fertile soil,
when there is no known panacea
for its eradication, and no one
wants one.
The first to bind themselves
together by love, obedience, ETC.,
was Miss Clara Johnson and
Mr.. Paul Dudney, both of this
city. The marriage occurred at
the Presbyterian manse Mon
day afternoon, June 5, Rev. w.
T. Sullivan officiating.
Mrs. Dudney as Miss Johnson
was sincerely loved by many
friends. She is the daughter OF
Mr. Jno. A. johnson on Route
l. Mr.. Dudney is engaged in a
number of lines of business, in
cluding a barber shop cleaning
and pressing establishment, and
is one of our most wide-awake
The second couple to wed
were Miss Grace Moses of this
city and Mr.. I. l.. Rhodes OF
Hope, who were quietly mar
ried Wednesday evening, June
7, the ceremony being perform
ed by Rev. Sullivan at the
manse.
Miss Moses, daughter of Mr..
J. w. Moses, was one of the
most popular young ladies IN
the city. She possessed many ac-
complishments. Quiet, lovable
and refined, she made friends
with all with whom she came
in contact.
Mr.. Rhodes is in the automo-
bile business in hope, their
home.
The third couple to assume
the duties of married life was
Miss Mamie Belle Weir and Mr..
Eugene Pinegar, whose marri-
age was solemnized Thursday
evening, June 8, Rev. Sullivan
officiating.
Miss Weir lived with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Weir,
on Route 2. She is winsome and
has many close friends.
Mr.. Pinegar has made his
home in Washington for the
past several years and has
spent much of his time as as
sisant driller at the Mason oil
test we'll the past two years.

EDITORS HOLD
JUBILEE MEET
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF AS
ISOLATION OBSERVED AT
LITTLE ROCK.

The Arkansas Press Associa-
ton convened for its 50th ami
versary Golden Jubilee celebra-
ton in the assembly room of
the War Memorial building at
Little Rock Wednesday, June Z.
Between two and three hundred
editors, their families and en-
ployees received their creden-
tials emitting them to all the
festivities and courtesies pro-
vided by the Little Rock news
paper folks.
Business was rapidly dis
patched in order to permit the
visitors to participate in the
splendid and numerous enter
tainment features.
President j. C. jolly presided
over the convention, while Mr..
Clio Harper, a master in the
management of large crowds,
did the secretarial work of the
convention, as well as spread
good feeling among the visitors.
The many social courtesies
extended the editors by Little
Rock included an automobile
drive about the city, a buffet
supper by the Southwestern
Bell Telephone Co., through
Manager S. A. Love. The visit
ors were then shown how a big
telephone exchange operated
by polite employees. The lun-
cheon rendered by the American
Legion in their dining hall in
the War Memorial building was
one of the most enjoyable be-
=. cause of its delightful infor-
na fity.-- Music featured this
luncheon throughout by some
of Little Rocks best talent. The
center of attraction at this lun-
cheon was the young lady song
leader who would stop the eat
ing and launch into some popu-
lar song. Her graceful gymnas-
tic movements had them all
singing. At A o'clock the ladies
of Little Rock entertained the
visiting ladies at an al fresco
tea at the Elk's hall.
The crowning and most elab-
crate number of the series was
the speechless banquet at Hotel
Marian Thursday evening, fea-
tured by cabaret singers, dan
GERS and comedians. A radio
concert, courtesy of the Arkan-
sas Light and Power Co., was
given.
The Telephone Co. issued
cards, as has been their custom,
granting the visitors free SER
vice to all points in the state.

TIPS ON
B USIN E S S
BY ALBERT APPLE

AS the coal strike starts, the ma
ion has about 100000 tons of
oituminous above the ground and in
storage. This is enough to supply
The country for at least two months,
at present rate of consumption,
when coal jobbers estimate at T.
100000 tons a week.
In the fina week of the bituminous
miners strike of 1919, open-shop
miAes produced 5,811,000 tons of
coal. The strategy of the union min
ers will center on unionizing the
open-shop mines.
Anthracite highly unionized. Strike
stops production.
Freight Traffic.
Railroads are moving about 80
cars of freight a week for each 10
cars during the corresponding weeks
Of 1919. The gain is at least 1907
600 cars week. Half of the gain
IS due to heavy coal movement,
stocking against strike.
More Steel Gains.
Plants of the U. S. Steel corpora
tlon are running average of 20 per
cent capacity. Trade rumor is that
the corporation in first two weeks of
March booked orders 5 per cent in
excess of capacity.
Fuel Oil.
Oil men who are expecting a sud-
den pickup in the fuel oil market.
as result of the coal situation, are
apt to be disappointed. Fuel oil
stocks are burdensomely big.
General oil outlook is better. Some
of the pipe lines companies in the
Mid-continent field which furnishes
the bulk of gasoline, are offering in
ducements to contract crude oil runs
Ter balance of the year.
Prices Up.
Average wholesale prices advanced
'hree per cent in February, reports
the Federal Reserve board. This
brought the average to IA ner cent
above 1913 average, against Sc per
cent IN February year ago and 80
per cent in December, the low point.
The upswln is a natural result 70
growing confidence and stimulated
buying in primary markets.
Psychology.
Coal brokers expect no material
increase in bituminous prices during
April. If runaway market de-
velops, it probably will be due to
an epidemic of fear, a stampede.
General business, after being dom
mated by uncomfortable deflation
for long time, now depends laxge-
ly on national psychology. Business
VIII go up or down during the spring
ana summer, according to the degree
OF confidence among the people and
their industrial leaders.

SEES CROSSING
SAFETY In CARE
That Is Only Way To Avoid
Grade Crossing Deaths, Says
Winburn

There is a great need for a crusade
against the careless automobile driv-
er, according to q statement from
President w. A. Winburn, of the
Central of Georgia railway.
President Winburn says that the
elimination of all railway grade
crossings, although desirable, would
be impossible, that the. elimination
of the 1857 crossing on the Central
of Georgia railway would cost fifty
millions of dollars. He says further
that the protection measures taken
by the railways fail to solve the
growing grade crossing problem be-
cause they teach the public that pro-
tected crossings are safe, whereas the
reverse should be taught.
The only feasible plan to check
the growing toll of deaths, injuries
and losses to property at grade cross
ings, he says, is relentless campaign
to make drivers stop, look and lis
ten" at every crossing.
Mr.. Winburn points out that in
the four years, ending December 81,
1920, there were 1850 persons kill
ed and 1880 injured in automobile
grade crossing accidents in the Unit
ed States, and that during that time
80 persons were killed and 215 in
jured in such accidents on the Cen
trial of Georgia railway. He declares
that an analysis of the cases show
that crossings considered the least
dangerous actually proved the most
dangerous.
The Central of Georgia's executive
declares that one state or communi-
ty cannot, consistently demand that
its railway grade crossing be elimi-
mated, unless some means were pro-
vided whereby the same thing could
be done in other states or commune
ties.
He also submits a viewpoint of
the situation which he says is rare
ly considered, that of enginemen. In
their nerve-racking duties they should
be freed from the strain Of having
automobiles race ever crossings di-
rectly in front of moving trains, he
says.
Since the benefits derived from
elimination of grade crossings accrue
largely to the public in safety and
convenience, Mr.. Winburn proposes
that where the elimination of cross
ing is necessary a plan be worked
out whereby the cost would be divid-
ed upon a fair basis between the
taxpayers who receive the benefits
and the railway.
1he automobile, in proper hands, /"
Mr. Winburn says, eis an agency
of safety at railway grade cross.
lngs 1t can be driven up close to
the tracks and stopped in perfect
safety. That cannot always be done
with spirited horse Therefore,
the increasing use of the automobile
and the decreasing use of the horse
should be solving the grade crossing
problem, instead Of making it worse.

ALL RATESPUT
IN TWOCLASSES
Discrimination Against Smaller
Points In Georgia Ended By
Commission

ATLANTA, April 5.-The Georgia
Railroad commission has issued final
order on class freight rates, and ac-
cording to comment of expert rate
men over the state, it is the greatest
piece of constructive work in the his
tory of the Georgia commission.
Among other desirable features of
interest to the consumers throughout
the state is that part of he order
which eliminates the base point sys-
tenn. Dating from the beginning of
railroad construction in the state, va
rlous points have been favored with
preferential rates, to the extent that
1t Is estimated there are today twenty
one hundred shipping points in the
state suffering the handicap of dis
criminatory rates enjoyed by some
thirty-odd large shipping centers. The
order above referred to does away
with this discrimination.
The hearing by the commission, on
which the order is based, had its in
ceptlon in rule prepared ard intro
duced by Commissioner Perry, on
July A, 1921. Thirty-eight days were
consumed in hearing evidence by the
shippers and carriers. The mileage
scale is adhered to in the decision,
which means that every point in the
state, on the same class railroad, for
the samem distance, will pay precise
ly the same freight rate.
Two classes of railroads are pro-
vided for. All standard or trunk
lines are put in Glass A lines of less
earnings and Importance are classed
as B roads.
