X-Ray Now Applicable
to Construction Work

No longer will it be necessary to
guess at the location Of pipes, wires
and beams within walls or floors of
buildings which are to be repaired or
remodeled. In the research laboratory
there has been developed q portable
X-ray outfit which makes 1t possible
to see within and through walls. She
location of elbows in pipes, of main
rafters and of wire connections be-
comes an easy matter.
Complicated arrangements of high
voltage equipment and protective de-
vices, making the use of X-rays Job
for the specialist only, are no longer
necessary. With the rev equipment
developed by DR.. w. d. Coolidge and
his associates, X-ray apparatus has
been made indeed portable and safe
Complete in all Of its details, the new
est outfit weighs only 20 pounds and
can be carried with ease.
All Of the equipment Is mounted In
small wooden carrying case. The
resulting X-ray generating unit, with
Its compactness, ease of manipulation,
and freedom from external electrostat-
ic field, seems especially well adapted
for special uses in the trades, and in
numerous lines of physical investiga-
ton work. 1t Is merely necessary to
connect an ordinary extension cord in
the nearest socket of the house circuit.
X-rays are then produced merely by
pressing the switch. There iS no high

and here through another central feed
alley.
Between the silo and barn proper
there are two large feed bins, this
placing being the most convenient for
handling the feed. Opposite the silo
and projecting from the main struc-
ture of the wing, is milk room with
an outside door, facilitating the eco
nomical handling of the milk by the
most sanitary methods In the corner
formed by the two wings of the barn
there is a small office, also projecting
from the main structure, where COM
plete records can be kept for the adj
ministration of the herd.
The loft is placed above the other
wing and affords ample storage space
for herd of this size. On the lower
floor there are two rows of pens, run
ming along the two outside walls, with
ten stalls for young stock at one end.
Next comes the passage way through
which the feed carrier runs from the
other wing, then calf pens, COW pens
and bull pens.
Both wings of this barn are thor
oughly lighted by many windows
spaced along the side walls, and the
one-story wing is given double light
ing by a second tier of windows.
In each wing there are four foul-air
shafts, spaced at appropriate inter-
walls. which carry off all bad air and
odors and keep the air. always fresh
and clean. Back of the stalls in the
wing where the cow stalls are located,
there are cement cutters which makes
for easy cleaning and draining of the
stalls, and In these litter alleys are
carriers for handling the manure.

Paint Fairy Godmother
of the Modern Home

Do you remember the old fairy tale,
In which Cinderella was changed from
a kitchen drudge to the radiant belle
of the princes ball?
She was shabby and ragged to view,
but at the fairy godmother's touch all
her loneliness became apparent: Her
grace and charm came to light.
There are "Cinderellas" in every
home; not living Cinderellas, of
course, but neglected things, dingy
things, worn things that need only the
"magic touch" of fairy godmother
to make them things Of beauty again.
Those old chairs, that SCARED dress
err, that scratched workbox, that
married picture frame, and scores of
other things throughout the house can

and richly bright under the touch of
paint or varnish. Surely the home
the center and source of most of our
Joys in life-deserves to be kept fresh,
clean and new looking. A little paint
used judiciously will do this.
Many persons sigh for new furni-
ture or new woodwork effects, but are
denied them because of the expense.
And yet all the while, some Of the
things desired are right In the home.
Furnishings are often considered old,
but the chief difference between them
and new things is merely the condi-
ton of the surface. Most discarded
furniture underneath It's outer film of
worn varnish is as staunch and as
graceful as ever. All 1t requires is
fresh outer coating to restore its
youth.
Not only furniture, but floors, walls
and ceiling as well are subject to this
transformation. Rooms that are now
lacking In distinction-that are now
Just rooms to use, rather than to be
proud of-need nothing more than re-
finishing with the proper outer coat

obtained IL the surface is dirty. First,

PIOUANT DANCE NIL LINERY;
FAVOR CHINESE EMBROIDERY

Fashion continues to revel in an
ORGY of gay colors. Our wraps, our
haas, our frocks and our costume &C
cessories are vibrating with metallic
splendor together with exotic hue.
To this era of gorgeousness, Chi
nese art and stitchery are contribut-
ing a magnanimous share. The smart

losing their identity embellished as
they are in trimmings Of Chinese em-

DISCUSS DIFFICULT
PASSAGES IN BIBLE

To refute the age-old claim that the
Bible is difficult to understand is the
purpose of a series of studies at the
Church of Christ in Pocahontas, each
Sunday afternoon at p. m, for fhe
remainder of the winter These stud
les are being made under the direc-
tion of Rev. II. ID. Henley.
Great interest is being manifested by
those who have been present at previ-
Gus meetings here at which these stud
les have been conducted. Up to this
time, the basic facts of Biblical inter-
probation have been discussed but be-
ginning next Sunday, seemingly diff
cult passages will be studied and So
called contradictory passages will be
discussed.
A cordial invitation is extended to
the public to attend these services and
prepare themselves for the ever-pres-
ent conflict between atheism and the
Bible.

WOMAN VICTIM OF
PECULIAR ACCIDENT

Mrs. Mollie Blount, aged 60, who
lived in a house boat on Black river
just below the free bridge here, was
killed about seven O'Clock Monday
night in very peculiar accident
She was on her way to a neighbor's
houseboat for a visit and was climb
ing a path up the river bank. Some
children had made wood-sled with
standards on each corner to hold the
load, and this sled had carelessly been
left in the path. The lady stumbled
over the sled and fell heavily on one
of the standards, which had been
sharpened to a point and which struck
her throat on the left side, penetrat-
ing to a depth of two inches and sever
ing the jugular vein.
A young man nearby heard her cry
out and FASTENED to her assistance.
He aided her to arise and was sup
porting her to the boat when she sud
denly slumped to the ground and ex-
pired, having bled to death in little
more than n minute.
Sheriff Perrin, Deputy Stubblefeld
and DIR. ]. w. Brown were called inn
mediately but, as it was clearly an
accident and the woman being beyond
medical assistance, they could do
nothing.
The funeral was held Tuesday and
the remains inferred in the Masonic
cemetery. She is survived by three
grown children.
Mrs. Blount had lived here and on
the river for many years and was well
known among the river folk.

The Ten Commandments

The senior editor Of the Star Herald
received special invitation Monday
afternoon from Manager Sam William
son of the Princess Theatre ut Biggers
TO bring Rev. c. Il. Gray and come up
as his guests to witness the greatest
of all moving pictures, "The Ten Com
mandments." OF course we went and
enjoyed every minute of our stay
there. both the picture and the hospi-
tality of Mr.. and Mrs. Williamson in
their home.
The picture is all that is claimed
for it and it was shown to a packed
house, with two or more nights for
the same picture to follow.
It is very seldom that so great a
picture is shown in town the size of
Biggers. But Mr.. Williamson stated
that he felt sure that he would realize
enough out of it to pay the cost and
that he would be well satisfied with
that.

State Teachers Meeting

The annual meeting of the Arkansas
Educational Association is being held
this week in Hot Springs. Prelimin-
airy reports have indicated that the
meeting will be one of the largest yet
held by the association. A splendid
program has been prepared, featuring
the practical things that are requisite
to an advanced educational movement.
THE Association is not confined strict
ly to educators. 1t is the successor of
the old Arkansas Teachers Associa-
ton. The expansion was due to the
necessity of enlisting the active CO
operation of all interested in the pro-
motion of higher educational stan
dards.
Only few from this county were
able to attend this year.

tas Iii and Corning Hi resulted In
victory, 10 to z, for the Pocahontas
boys This was the first time during
the eight games this year that Poca

ball past the secondary defense for a
touchdown. He then place-kicked a
perfect goal for the extra point
The next touchdown was also made
by Lemmons. Corning had been push
ed back to their goal and punted from
behind the line. Lemmons received the
kick on the 15-yard line and made
brilliant run through the Corning de-
fense for the score. Try for extra
point was missed.
Corning scored in the third when
Whitaker, fiasky back. broke away
for touchdown. Try for extra point
succeeded, making the score at the be-
ginning Of the last period, Poca 13-

tested, with Poca slowly working the
ball goalward. just before the game
ended Gray, Poca center, broke through
scooped up Corning tumble and loped
25 yards for the second touchdown Of
his high school career. Try for extra
point was missed
The next, and last, game of the sea-

Ask To Resume PearIing

A number of Pocahontas citizens
have signed a petition, circulated for
the past few days, asking that pearl
hunters be permitted to ply their
trade along Black and Current rivers
in this county. Pearling operations in
this county have been at a standstill
for the past two seasons, following a
law which declared a closed season on
the mussels.
This was, a few years ago, one of
the richest pearling sections in the
country, and pearls worth thousands of
dollars were taken hut, with the con
tinued dredging, the mussels were
thought to be in danger Of extermina-
tion. Hence the closed season.
