GENERAL. TAX TO
 PAY ROAD BUnDS
Proposed Constitutional Amendment to Permit Counties to Adopt Plan,
 Sent to Senate for Action.

1 Little Rock, Feb .13.-With only Il dissenting votes, the House Monday morning adopted the proposed consti- tutional amendment by Fades. and oth- CTS, authorizing the various counties of the state to vote a tax not to exceed 10 mills upon "all taxable property for the purpose of paying off their road bond indebtedness and for building and maintaining roads.
 Adoption of the amendment came after about an hours debate, consumed mostly by Representative Mccullough .0f Lee county, one of the originators of the resolution, in giving explanation of it's provisions. Representative But Ter of Greene county was the only speaker against the bill. Representa- tive Butler was answered by Repre- sentative Belote of Hot Spring county.
 The reolution is far-reaching in it's provisions, but flexible, and according to Representative Mccullough. can work no hardships upon the people Tn stead, it is intended to reduce the pres ent burdensome taxes because of the tremendous road indebtedness of the state, but leaves it optional with the counties as to whether they will accept it's provisions.
 The measure provides that upon pe- Itition of the people, the question of whether or not tax bill is levied shall be submitted at Gn election This tax, it was said, will not be in addition to the present improvement district taxes This would be taken care of by a re- adjustment of assessments in the vari- GUS districts of the county to cores pond with the tax voted by the people. It is strictly a countrywide proposi- tion and is left lip to the county wheth- CT or not it will be put into effect. One county might vote for 10-mill tax another 5-mill tax, while another might vote for no tax at all, according to the provisions of the resolution. At | the same time it does not release prop erty in the improvement district from liability for the indebtedness of the district, and hence no repudiation is possible.
 Representative Mccullough declared in the course of his explanation that repudiation was not possible because it. would violate the federal constitu tion.
 Representative Dewitt, who spoke for the measure, answered objections | to the effect that it made the entire county help pay the indebtedness of one district, by declaring that the sooner the people of the state took the attitude of being willing to help one another, the better it would be for Ar kansas. Arguments of this nature, he declared, reminded him of the old mans prayer, "Oh, Lord, bless me and my wife, John and his wife, us four and no more, Amen" The best provis- ion of the resolution. he declared, was the one leaving it up to the people to Idecide

ANE ER|CAN GIRLS. PRETTY, BUT TOO. r RAIL, SAYS BUKH
They Eat Too Much Candy, Famous Danish Physical
 Expert Claims
By THOMAS L. STOKES (Taosad XVira fo The Ara-HaraI

WASHINGTON Oct. 6.-American girls have pretty faces, but they are too frail. They eat too much candy. They slouch along in Nslinky gowns. They'd be healthier and happier if they had more muscle. And there would be fewer divorces.
 That Is the criticism of the famous Danish physical culture expert, Sir Neils Bukh, here with & troupe of. perfect specimens from Denmark touring the country as guest of the Russell Sage foundation. He and his gymnasium class were received p- President Coolidge Thursday.
 Your American girls-they all around the house too much. They should get ort doors, get the i1esn nenn air, take vigorous exercise, In Den mark our girls go out In the woods and fields together, play ball to- gether. They exercise In the gym nasium-they are developed"
 The 2S specimens, IA robust young men and 14 rosy checked virile wom- en, who are travelling about the country with Sir Neils in exhibitions, rrove his theories Sir Neils is head of A college at Ollerup, a few miles from Copenhagen, where he IS de- veloping young men and women into well rounded mental and physicai specimens. It is part of great movement now spreading over Den mark, and related to the youth movement" which has swept through Europe since the war.
 Don't Develop Bodies.
 American girls don't develop their bodies. their limbs. their arms" the uasstve Dane said. Your women seek itheness from the present style trend I see here, but it isn't 1.-the ness thev get at all. It's simply frailty. Ltheness means sinew, and sinew is what American women haven't"
 Sir Neils said he could take the slouching girls he sees on the streets of American cities and make them into perfect physical specimens III three months, by vigorous gymnastlc
 T did 1t with my pupils" he said, And they exercised but one hour a day. Of course the exercise was violent. But you can't become well developed by folding paper napkins and sitting around the house.
 Tennis and golf are splendid TOT t, girls, but these sports are SUI SUI iuxuries, he said. For young girls who are in school and have leisure, he recommends getting out in the fields, going on hikes. playing strenuous games together.
 "They ought to get out in the fields, instead of sitting in ice cream rarlors, nibling at sweets.
 American girls eat too much candy, he said. Substantial food Is what they
 For girls who are confined in offices during the day, he urges regular exercise in gymnas1uihs about three times a week.
 Bodily health will stop pettisn- ness and peevishness, and will oo away with much unhapplness ana cut down the records of the divorce courts, he says ,,a
 SWomen with healthy bod.c7 and healthy minds expressing themseiver during leisure in physical exercises are happier and more companionaole. Family quarrels and unhapiness would cease if men and women wouiu

Copyright, 1923 For The Age-Herald
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Should the war finance corporation see fit under the authority already granted it by Congress to purchase perfectly good domestic or foregn securities and thus furnish turnover credit to get our raw material exported, such as wheat and beef products and cotton, it would indeed perform great service. Why it did not do this months ago is question. If credit were extended In this manner 1t could be done with distinct under standing and guarantee that the money would be expended in this country for purchase of our surplus agricultural products or what might be termed our normal exportable surplus, which unfortunately sets the price for the bulk of our products.
 All farmers would be directly bene fitted by such action, but they would not be the only class, for, as Is be- coming more generally recognized, improvement in the farmers buying power Is directly reflected in the prosperity of all groups of the ma tion. The farmer, through his CO., operative grain marketing associa- tion, for instance, would reap the benefit through the war finance cor poration extension by buying settle ment securities of reputable, con cerns abroad. His cooperative would sell direct to these foreign concerns and the farmer receive his money and thus remain in business.
