Hundreds of people in Little Rock
daily casually observe a handsome
young man driving a new Ford car
through the cOngested traffic in the
down town district of Little Rock.
There is nothing unusual, however. i'm
the incident as there are thousands of
such cars being driven by all sorts and
conditions of men and women. Few of
them are aware however that the driv-
er, who so carefully makes his way
past hazardous corners and along con-
gested streets, has no arms. But such
is the fact. Sam Sloan, the youthful
state treasurer of Arkansas, lost his
arms at the shoulder when he was q
boy, but he is far more adept in the
use of his artificial arms than many
who possess their natural limbs. Mr..
Sloan writes a beautiful "hand" with
his teeth. In fact he eats, keeps books,
uses the telephone and does everything
with his hands except dress himself.
And incidentally he has shown the old
politicians of Arkansas something new
in practical politics.

Bovine T. 3. Strikes
A Senatorial Snag


Madison, Wis., = The state de-
partment of agriculture appropriation
bill has progressed along rough road
to engrossment in the senate. Three
hours were consumed in debating the
measure and there were caustic' re-
marks made by senators against the
"shortsightedness of Governor
Blaine and the mistakes" of Com
missioner John D. Jones in connection
with the work of tuberculosis eradica-
ton in cattle, conducted by the depart
ment.
The measure which contains many
large appropriations for various en-
deavors had smooth travelling until
discussion reached that portion of it
which refers to bovine tuberculosis
eradication. The program of the joint
finance committee supported by Mr..
Jones would give $650,000 in 1925 and
$750,000 for a period of five years
thereafter for this work.
The "niggardliness" of this propos-
al was bitterly condemned by Senators
Severson, Casperson, Schumann and
Titus, who cited the states of Illinois
spending $3,O00,000 and Minnesota
with more than double the Wisconsin
appropriation, both contemplating a
complete Cleanup" of tuberculosis
within two years. The Wisconsin
program calls for a six-year program
also bitterly attacked as procrastina-
ton leading to dissipation of efforts.

Women of Glencoe
Plan Clubhouse

Glencoe, nj Originating in
step into a circulating library and
literary club, the Woman's Library
club of Glencoe, affiliated with the
Federation of Women's Clubs, plans
the construction soon of a clubhouse
which will stand as monument to the
principles and achievements of its pio-
neers, and headquarters for the activi-
ties of the present day woman.
The club is the fourth oldest wo-
mans organization in the United
States and from its inception has
shared its purpose with the develop
ment of the community. That spirit
is carried into the building program of
the new structure, which will be the
first unit of the Glencoe Plan of flu
ture commercial and residential
growth. 1t has been designed to fit in
tremendously with the village plan of
building.
With its ground site, the clubhouse
will have a value of approximately
$25O,000. The cost will be met by the
club membership. From the sources
which are expected to use the club
house, the building committee esti-
mates an income of S24,9S0 and dis
bursements of $15,760, leaving an an
nual surplus.
The architectural features of the
proect are striking in their individu-
atty and comfort. The modified Eng
lish style of Tudor was adopted be-
cause it met the desire of the women
for a rustic, informal and uncitifed
type of architecture, carrying with it
the feeling of the suburb and the
home-like.
The building, although broken by
wings, bays, gables and offsets, will be
drawn together in one harmonious
unit. The exterior will be of rough
stone, timbered above. 1t provides for
women's dressing rooms, spacious cor
ridors, an auditorium with a large
stage, lounge, stage dressing rooms,
dining room, kitchen, pantries, Offices,
balcony, committee rooms, projection
room, mems club room, smoking room
and sample storage space, with addi-
tional basement rooms in connection
with the heating and fuel compart-
ments

Arterial Signs to
be Made Uniform

Madison. y :. y The Wisconsin
highway commission soon will begin
gathering information on road signs
and markers in various localities of
the state preliminary to establishing
uniformity in the markings of arter-
ial highways, M. w. Torkelson, secre-
tary of the commission, said today.
Stop signs at intersections of ar
terial highways with other roads or
streets must be uniform throughout
the state, under recent legislation.
The highway commission is given au-
thority to enforce this provision, with
the privilege of suspending it's order
in the case of markers already in
place for such time as it seems neces-
sary.
Complete information will be OBJ
tanned from cities and counties as to
the signs already in use, Mr.. Torkel-
son said, and the commission will
seek the cooperation of the local au-
thorities in deciding upon suitable
uniform markers.

Prepare to Honor
English Prince

Buenos Aires.-,144 When the
Prince of Wales sees Buenos Aires by
night for the first time, he may wond-
er whether he is Prince of the Ara
bian Nights, and what genii have
transformed this southern metropolis
into a dazzling fairyland of light and
beauty to do him honor.
Buenos Aires is famed for its ex-
travagance in illumination and decora-
tion to celebrate carnival and nation
al holidays, every year outdoing what
was done the year before. 1t staged,
perhaps, the most wonderous display
of illumination ever seen in any city
on the occasion of the visit of the tia
liam prince last year, and now for the
visit of the scion of English royalty,
it is preparing to break the record
again.
Millions of multicolored electric
light globes will be used. They will
outline the Government house, the
Capitol, all public edifics and hum
dreds of Office buildings and insti-
buttons. The Avenida de Mayo, which
is Buenos Aires Broadway, will be a
and arches, placed every half block.
The many parks and plazas of the
city will be planted with artistic col
umns joined with lacelike ribbons of
light, and the walks and flower beds
will be outlined with lights set in
the ground. Electric lights, too, will
flash out the flags and coats of arms
of Great Britain and Argentina, plac-
ed at appropriate points, and search
lights and indirect glow lights will al
so be used with effect.
Mingled with all will be profuse
display of streamers and flags of both
countries which will make the city
gay with color during the day as well
as at night. Special pains will be tax
en- in the artistic decoration of the
streets leading to the mansion where
the prince will live.
