EXPECT INCREASE FOR SPRING TERM STATE NORMAL PREPARES To Accommodate All Applicants for Admission Start Special
 Teacher Classes.

Preparations are belng made at the State Normal School for the big in- crease in enrolment expected at the opening of the spring term on March 20, and accommodations ample for all applicants will be provided, despite the unfounded report current in Ar kansas that the institution is over crowded already and will be forced to refuse admission to some. Al though facilities on the campus are overtaxed, officials of the school will see to it that board and rooms are provided for all newcomers, and that room is made for them in the classes
 In order to reach ali prospective students who might be influenced by the adverse report or rumor, news matter setting forth the true condi- tions is being mailed by the Normal to all weekly newspapers in Arkansas for publication next week. It will later be repeated in the state press.
 Attendance at the school is this week 150 in advance of the total for the same week of last year Just how much farther it will climb with the opening of the spring term is a question, but requests for admission already on file indicate that new matriculants will be numerous. Board- ing and rooming houses or residences where students can be accommodated will be listed by the faculty commit tee, and assignments made to care for all corners.
 Teachers especially in the rural sections favor the spring and sum- mer terms of the State Normal as the time for improvement in their work For them the school has ar ranged special review courses in com mon school branches, which will be al- most invaluable to those preparing for professional examination, or who wish to improve their efficiency in the class room. In addition, up-to- date courses are offered in teaching methods. Many teachers entering for the spring term also remain for the summer session.

STATE TREASURER A
 UNIQUE CHARACTER

Little Rock, March 10.-"Uncle Joe Ferguson, who is a candidate for a third term as state treasurer, is one of the most picturesque characters in Arkansas politics. He is noted par ticularly for his inflexibe honesty and for his rigid adherence to the strict letter of the statutes made and pertaining to any subject with which he has official connection. Indicative of his systematic methods is the fact that for 30 years, rain or shine, day or night, whenever he appears upon the street, outside of his office, he carries with him his umbrella. Dur ing all this time he says that he has never lost an umbrella and only on one occasion has one been stolen and that was by an absentminded polite ian. He says that he believes in be- ing prepared and that no one ever knows when it will rain and when it does rain he is ready for it. The umbrella he is now carrying IS a beautiful silk protector given him by his office force a Christmas present a year ago.

PEARL WHITE STARS.


 Pearl White, famous star of Will liam Fox photoplays, will be seen at the Ideal theatre tonight in her latest picture, "The Broadway Peacock" :" which, as it's title implies, is story of the gaiety, frivolity, disasters and triumphs of persons who are swept into the entrancing life typified by New York's Great White Way.
 Miss Whites role is that of daz- zlingly vivacious hostess of a noted cabaret, whose beauty and personality keep the place seething with merry makers. She falls madly in love with a young aristocrat, despite the warn ing of her pal that such an affair can end only in heartache.

RfCITF PURPOSES
 OF MATERNITY ACT
IN EFFECT IN THIS STATE
Aim of Measure is to Furnish Instruc. tion in Hygiene of Maternity
 and Infancy.

Little Rock, March 10.-As many inquiries have come to both the gov ernor's office and the state board of health requesting information regard ing the Sheppard -Towner act, recent ly passed by congress, the following statement is issued:
 After careful surveys throughout this country by federal and state health authorities and a number of volunteer health organizations, the data compiled showed an extremely high maternity and infant death rate, and many of the causes contributing to this high death rate, were found to be, in measure at least, prevent able. The children's bureau at Wash ington states that in 1919 about 200,- GOO babies died in the United States before they reached one year of age. and that 10000 mothers died from child birth in the same year. The children's bureau further estimates that one-half of the babies and two thirds of the mothers so dying might nave been saved.
 This act will be administered by the chief of the children's bureau ot the department of labor, the surgeon general of the United States public health service and the United tSates commissioner of education, which im- mediately dispels any idea that the act is to be administered by a group of spinsters. as has been charged. On January T, 1922, Governor McRae ls- sued a proclamation designating the state board of health, through it's bu- reau of child hygiene, to admnlster the act in Arkansas.
 "Under the terms of the act, ol0,- 900 will be awarded to each state, as soon as appropriated by congress, to be expended in accordance with pro- gram to be approved by the state and federal authorities above designated. The accrued benefits to be derived from the act subsequently, will be contingent upon an appropriation fro mthe legislature, similar to the Smith Hughes and other federal aid measures.
 "The purpose of the act is to fur nish instruction in the hygiene of maternity and infancy through pub lie health nurses, consultation centers, and other educational methods. h. competent, ignorant and superstltious midwives, often colored, are contrib at 1orool,, fa hn o Q Hpath rate in Arkansas. There is nothing in the act to restrict the practice of midwifery, but an effort will be made to list all of the midwiVes of the state and give courses of instruction through local agencies to htose who may qualify, and an effort will be made to prohibit those grossly incom- potent from practicing altogether. Many mothers die due to lack of proper prenatal care. Many causes of eclampsia or convulsions, nephrltls (kidney disease), hemorrhage, etc. may be avoided by observing certain simple instructions.
 'The one greatest factor contrib uting to the high infant mortality rate is improper feeding.
 Many of the deformities. such as club feet, spinal curvature, etc, may be readily corrected in infancy and early youth without pain and little expense that would require expensive hospitalization and the most difficult surgical procedure in later childhood.

the impression that he is getting
along famously until the visit is over.
Then 1t is realized that he has said
almost nothing.
His replies usually consist of sly,
apparent wrinkles of the eyes, which
appear most significant at the same
time, but when 1t comes to being
$ translated into any statement of fact
defy action.
The correspondent with another
