crease, Health Authorities Say.
City Health Commissioner Robert d.
McGiffert and City Health Officer
Earle G. Brown. agree that the vital
statistics for 1922 will show an in
crease in deaths from tuberculosis
But the increase will be due to the
fact that more deaths will be correctly
reported than in past years, and not
to the fact that tuberculosis will cause
more deaths.
With the progress of public educa-
ton in matters of public health, es-
pecially with reference to tuber-
culosis, more cases of that disease are
continually being reported. And the
deaths of tubercular individuals which
are primarily due to the white
plague" are being reported as caused
by tuberculosis, whereas formerly
they were reported as due to some
complication.
The actual number of deaths caused
by tuberculosis will probably decrease
this year, the health officers believe.

Esq. Carroll Holds Pratt Boy i'm Sum of $1 ,O00-Sears Youth Executes Bond
 Of $50O.OO

Oscar Pratt, 20 years of age, and Andrew Sears, Is years of age, self confessed participants in an unsuc- cessful attempt to poison the family of J. M. Wilson at 1Iarmaduke last Saturday evening, waived prelim- mary hearing yesterday afternoon and their bonds were fixed for their appearance at the December term of Circuit Court. The bonds were es- tablished by Esq. Carroll of Mar maduke who telephoned his decision to Deputy Prosecuting Attorney J. T. Craig. The youths decided they did not want to appear for an exam ing trial.
 The bond of the Pratt boy was fixed at $1,00O.00, in default of which he is remaining in jail. The bond of the Sears youth was placed at $500.00 which was executed, with the assistance of his father and he was reIeased from custody The trial of the two will come up at the December term.
 It was stated this morning that much sympathy had developed for the Sears youth, and little of the blame for the near tragedy is neld against him. It is said the boy is not regarded as Q normal youth and that this condition. it is believed, was largely responsible for the Pratt youth talking him into the scheme to kill the Wilson family in order to collect insurance money. The two boys admitted that was the object of their traGical plan.

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

The General Federation of Womens Clubs has now taken up cudges the defense of he Star Spangled Banner the national anthem of the United States
 There has been much criticism of that song. It is charged that most Americans cannot sing the tune correctly and never have known the words Complaint has also been made that the third stanza contains phrase unfrendly toward Great Britain, and that the tune itself is adaptation of old drinking song.
 The club women mantain reasonably enough, that the of the music is nothing against it. If were to begin eliminating from music all airs descended from old drinking songs number of we'll loved and respected hymn tunes would have to go. The hatred breathing third stanza is rarely sung and is harmless anyhow
 As to the difficulty of singing the song, the music division of the Federation says nothing. It isn't really important point There enough persons in singing group who carry the tune to make it Most school children know the national anthem while they in school and would be likely re- member it in later li1e Il s7nging it con- mon practice at public gatherings There really isn't much use, either in throwing difficult song cause some people cant sing it, when the song is beautiful and has been sung and loved many years The Star Spangled Banner.

He said a movement was in progress for the revision Of Arkansas laws so as to make pos sible the handling and safe of legi- innate medicines. many of which contained alcohol as an essential element.
 'Thc Leslie conviction" Col. Ship ton said, "has brought about an intole"able state of affairs. in which every druggist in the state rests un- der the threat of disgrace and ruin. With such horrible examples. the drug business in Arkansas is para lyzed, most druggists declining to handle necessary medicines in which alcohol is used, even in the small lest quantity.
 "This works hardship upon every one, but no man can be blamed for refusing to handle remedy for which he may. at the pleasure of law enforcement officers. be sent to the penitentiary.

 Just how serious the Turkish situation is, in vital effects and likely throughout the world 1t is hard say. The newspapers generally take their from the statesmen and the statesmen have been greatly alarmed about it. But it does look as if the Turks themselves have been taken seriously than they deserve to be, all along.
 There more than S000,000 of them when united, and their maximum fighting power is con sidered to be not than 300, GOO men, Their equip ment is far inferior to that which the allied powers fought with in the World and possess. Great Britain France Italy alone, could easily wipe Renal and his army off the earth and Turkey off the map Together, they would find Turkey about good bite if they took the field in earnest.
 The situation is serious only because the Allies have preferred politics to fighting and have been d vded. The Turk is capable of vast mischief only be- they give him fictitious importance If they get together sensible and civilized mode of procedure. they may put the Turk where he belongs and possibly do it without fighting.

HOW NATIONS MAY PAY DEBTS.

The Southern Commercial Congress, meeting i'll Chicago has been considering interesting plan whereby foreign nations might pay their debts.
 It is amortization plan, whereby interest all the international debts would be fixed per cent and one-half cent added for principal. On this basis il is reckoned that the obligations would be wiped out in 66 years
 Germany assumed to $12,0000 900 to the Allies because she could probably pay that much would pay S420,000,000 year. Great Britain, owing S4,- 600, 900, would pay $40, 100000 year. France would pay s1o5,0oooO0 year, Italy $59o0O,oO0 anu Belgium s12,250,000
 It would be better for the Allies to get their rep aYatiOn money spread out that long period than not to get it at all Likewise Uncle Sams share over S300000,O00 year for 66 years would make fine legacy the generations children grand children.
