This is what happened:

over at the Peoples Vaudeville
Agency a number OF men were
standing about. They looked i'm

one OF them might be manager or
something and would notice me.
They did, but It was with absolute
Indifference.
Timidly I made my plea to the
elderly woman behind the desk. But

State in Midst of
 Educational Crisis
By A. B. Hill, State Suppl Elect.

Little Rock, Oct 2.-Arkansas is in the midst of an educational crisis. Practically all of the school districts in towns and cities are facing the pro- bability of closing the schools because of insufficient funds. In one county site town in Arkansas all of the rev enue secured from 8 F mill schco! tax has to be used in paying outstand- ing school bonds A conservative esti- mate shows that it Will be impossible under present conditions, for the peo- pie in this district to have a public school for the next twenty-two years, or until after 1914. In many rural districts in Arkansas, the people are meeting the situation by voluntary subscriptions. Tn one rural district the people have voluntarily agreed to pay a 96 mill tax in order to keep their school open
 With such conditions confronting the people of the State of Arkansas, l am confident that there will be demand at the next Legislature to provide some means of immediate relief. An expert commission has made an in yestigation of Arkansas school condi- tions and will soon make a report to the Governor I feel sure that We will be able to use the findings of this com mission advantageously.
 I desire to urge that the people who are interested in education in this state get behind the program which will be outlined by the Governor and his advisors, and by thorough coop eration with the members of the Leg islature, secure the legislation neces- sary to provide public schools for the children of this state. I am confident that every good citizen in Arkansas will join in this effort to provide funds for our schools.

 RELIGION SAYS McRAE
Soul Development More inpoftah' Than Legislation, He
 Declares.

Pine Bluff. Oct. What Arkansas needs is more religion, instead of more legislation, declared Gov. Thos. C. Me Rae in an address at the Alexander Memorial Presbyterian Church here this morning. We speak of our un- developed resources in this state, but the greatest thing we need is soul de- yelopment, as all progress is meas 1,red by our faith and vision,' the etoyernor> declared. Explaining that he did not have an opportunity to at tend a Sunday school until he was 16 years old, the governor said he had never since failed to attend Sunday school each morning if it was possible.
 %The Sunday School is one school from which no one should ever be graduated It is a school that one should attend from the cradle to the grave, as there is always something new and inspiring to learn,' he said. Gov. McRae's address was heard by Q large number of visitors from other churches, including the members of Judge w. B. Sorrels' Bible class of the Lakeside Methodist Church, who adjourned shortly after meeting at their church to attend the Alexander Church in a body
 Gov. McRae visited the Boys Indus trial School Sunday afternoon in com pany with Judge Sorrells' chairman of the board of trustees, and made an encouraging talk to the large number of boys there.

GAMPASGM STARTED
 TO PREVENT FIRES
Agencies ss0in in Educational Work to Eliminate Need
 less Losses.

Little Rock, Oct. 2-Most of the country's half billion dollar loss by fire iz the result of carelessness, ac- cording to bulletin issued by the Little Beck Beard of Commerce, which sets forch that much of this loss could be prevented by ordinary precautions. The bulletin is for distribution during Fire Prevention Week, which begins today.
 One precaution at the beginning of the winter season is to examine chim neys and flues before fires are start ed. It is estimated that during the five years ending with 1920 more than SIP, ,000,000 of the fire loss was due to defective flues. This might have been prevented, it is said, if the chimneys and flues had been cleaned out thor oughly before the cold season began.
 Oils and gasoline take their annual toll of property, it is said. Oily mops or rags often cause fires from spon- taneous combustion. They should always be kept in metal containers, according to the bulletin.
 Circulars Mailed. Insurance Commissioner Mullion and his staff were busy all last week sending out circulars to school sup erintendents for distribution among the schools of the state These cir I,Culars call attention to the laws re- quiring fire drill exits In most of the larger cities of the state, the fire drills are carried out regularly during the school term, but in some of the small CT towns little attention is paid to them.
 Another circular from the insurance commissioners office announces that "Carelessness causes fires-cleanli- ness and carefulness will prevent fire Astounding figures on the loss by fire in the United States are set forth in this circular
 During the past 10 years the aver age amount spent on the North Ameri- can continent each year for construc- tion of new buildings has been ap- pro1imately $1,ooo,.9o,oo0, while the average fire loss during the period has been $300,OO0,0OO This shows that approximately one third of the sum spent for new buildings for the past 10 years has gone up in smoke"
