shall be conferred the duties of the
Insurance Commissioner and the col

cigarette and cigar tax, the severance
tax and such other taxes as may be
provided.
'Under the present system he says,
cor lack of system, tax payer, will
ing and anxious to pay these taxes to
the state, has to engage lawyer and
a guide to find the proper department
at the state house to pay them to"
He recommends the consolidation of
officers now engaged in inspection and
conservation work and recommends the
establishment of a Department of Con
servation and Inspection. This would
abolish the office of the State Oil In
spectOr, the Conservation Bureau of
the Railroad Commission and the Feed
and Fertilizer Inspection Department
in the Office of Agricultural Commits
siOner
He recommends the abolition of the
service bureau for aiding disabled war
veterans as the L. S. government main
tains a veterans bureau for this pur-
pose.
He recommends the enactment of q
law which will prohibit the issuance of
free railroad passes to public officers,
declaring that "sound economic policy
demands that every person. except
those mentally or physically incapaci-
tated, shall pay for all he gets" He
says that the issuance of railroad
passes should apply to private citizens
as well as officers, and that the legis-
lature should enact law prohibiting
any company from granting any rail
road pass to any person in the state
except its own employees.
He recommends that prosecuting at
torneys he made legal advisers of all
road and drainage Improvement dis
tricts and that city attorneys be made
legal advisers of all Improvement dis
tricts in their territory.
He recommends that all fees collect
ed by the Commissioner of State Lands
shall be paid into the state treasury:
that the Office of assistant custodian
of the state Capitol be abolished that
state officers be prohibited from ac-
cepting campaign contributions from
theil employees; that all appropriation
bills be strictly itemized that the run
ming waters of the state be protected
against impurities; that relief be pro-
vided for the Supreme Court by sub
mitting a constitutional amendment in
creasing the number of judges from
five to seven and permitting the Gen
eral Assembly to increase the salaries
to $1,000 year.

He recommended that the primary
election be changed from August to

He recommends measures for an in

tiOnal institutions to enable poor boys

New Governor Has An
Active Campaign Planned

Tom J. Terral was inaugurated last
week as Governor of Arkansas. In his
inaugural message he reiterated the
pledges made to the people during his
campaign and his adherence to the
principles set forth in the Democratic
state platform. The platform embodies
most of the measures he advocated
during the campaign, and he calls
upon the members not to repudiate
the obligations and duties imposed by
the platform.
His first recommendation was for the
strictest enforcement of the laws
against the manufacture, sale or pos
session Of intoxicating liquors. He de-
clared that the boOtlegger is " will
full and deliberate outlaw whose acti-
vities not only corrupt the sobriety of
the community, but also entice others
-ro~ trample upon the law" He declar-
ed that next to the boOtlegger the
worst enemy to society is the pistol
tOter; brave men do not carry pistols.
The presence Of a pistol in a mans
pocket is an evidence of cOwardice,"
and he urged the enactment of laws
providing severe punishment for boot
leggers and carriers Of concealed wea-
pons.
He insisted that there should be
strict obedience to the mandates of
the constitution and that every bill
should be defeated that violates any
of its provisions. He said he would
veto any bill that might be passed
which does violence to any part Of the
constitution.
He recommended that the number
of legislative employees be limited to

years an amount which would have
paid 200 first grade teachers in 200
rural school districts for a term of
eight months. The laws for the pro-
lection of game and fish should be
strengthened and enforced by the coun-
ty authorities. He says:
Are the laws that prohibit the kill
ing of fish or game at certain seasons
more important than the laws that
prohibit the killing of human beings?
We have no commission or special
wardens to enforce the laws against
murder. Are the lives of the fox,
squirrels, the jackrabbits and the gOg-
gle-eyed perch of more Importance TO
the state, than the lives of the people
themselves? Why cannot our sheriffs
and their deputies and our constables
and their deputies be depended upon
to enforce our fish and game laws just
as they are depended upon to enforce
the laws for the protection of the lives
of our people?"
He recommends the enactment of
statute making it a felony for any per-
son to draw a salary or compensation
from the state without first having
actually and personally performed a
real service.
He recommends that the penitenti-
airy walls near Little Rock be sold and
the headquarters of the penitentiary
he established ON the Tucker farm.
He recommends the abolition of
eleven honorary commissions and
boards now having charge of various
state institutions. These commissions
have total membership of 63 persons
serving without pay. In their place
he would have created Board of
Charities and Corrections of three
members one of whom shall be the
State Comptroller another the State
Purchasing Agent and the third a gen.
eral superintendent, which would pro-
vide for only one paid office in addi-
tiOn to those now in existance. He
says that, "since the members of these
boards donate their time, they cannot
afford to do more than attend monthly
meetings; the result of this system is
that the actual management of the in
stitutiOns is carried on by the employees
of these honorary boards and not by
the boards.
He recommends the abolition of the
Office of Inheritance Tax Attorney and
that the collection of inheritance taxes
be transferred to the office of the At
tOrney General.
He recommends the consolidation of
other revenue collecting agencies, which
at present cost the state $152, 200. an
nually. He recommends that the Office
of Insurance Commissioner be abolish

Oddly enough when q man wears a
bow tie that does not really tie but
that Is fastened to his collar button
at the front. he causes derisive
chuckle-that is Of course If the truth
about his tie is known. Similarly
amusing are the detachable shirt
fronts that men have been known to
wear beneath their waistcoats In lieu
of the conventional shirt.
Such tricks in dress as this are
quite bad form when carried on by
a man, but with a woman 1t seems
to be different. In fact, any tricks
of this sort are looked upon as very
clever by the French dressmakers and
American women as we'll as French
women take eagerly to them.
Just at present, however, the coat
frock Is not so popular here as 1t is
in France-possibly because our Sum-
mers are somewhat warmer. Amer
lean women like to have some sort
of coat that they can remove during
the very warm part of the day. Not
for the city. but for country and sea
shore wear, nothing is smarter now
than the new cretonne coats. They
are made quite simply with straight.
long lines. Sometimes women make
these coats for themselves and in one
community not long ago the dry goods
stores were practically all out of Gre
tonnes. Suddenly every woman and
girl in the town became determined to
make herself a cretonne coat.

Your Bathing Suit.

The bathing season every year
brings a lot of comment on the new
est styles" and what will be worn on
the beaches" But 1t is hard, indeed,
to find anything In print that will
help one to shop intelligently for
something to wear in the water.
With the increased interest in
swimming among women all over the
nation. beach bathing is coming to
take on more and more of the aspects
of swimming, and the bathing suit is
no longer a huge success which won't
do duty in the water.
Woman's bathing suit, like her
business suit, tends to copy the prac-
teal features of what the men wear
And this, in spite of all the talk Of
immodesty, Is the real reason for the
permanent popularity of abbreviated
costumes.
The ideal swimming or bathing suit
is one which will not carry a great
deal of weight in the water nor be an
impediment to swimming, one that
holds it's shape well either wet or dry,
which does not feel clammy just out
of the water and which will retain its
original color.
The darker colors in a bathing suit
will last longer, whatever the fabric,
than will the lighter tones. This
doesn't mean that one has to get

Bites and Things.

This is the season of bites. Every
thing bites the children, from mosqui
toes to jelly fish-stings are bites, for
that matter. They smart and itch
quite as much as bites.
There is no way known to us to
prevent the insect biting and sting
ing. But we can help the children by
teaching them to preserve a calm at
titude of mind toward the bites and
so keep them from troubling them
too much.
You will see children dancing about
and "ooching' and groaning and
scratching and all the time saying.
Look! Just see what the mosquitoes
have done to me! They're something
terribler'
Teach the children that they are not
to mention the bites except to you
when they need attention. Teach them
to ignore them. If they can keep
their hands off the bite for 80 seconds
the itching will pass. And as the at.
tention has not been centered on 1t,
the irritation will decrease quicker.
But talking about them, digging them,
scolding about the place that has such
pests only make the whole thing
worse.
When a child has been bitten by
flies or mosquitoes take it to a cool,
quiet room and bathe the bites with
a solution of some sort. There are
many pleasant and sweet smelling
things that you can dab on the bites
and cause them to cease from trou-
bling.
At night when giving the child his
bath put some bicarbonate of soda in
the water and that will subdue the
itching. Soda is cheap and always
handy and 1t is effective.
Keep the children away from poison
Ivy. You can tell what it is by its
reddish-colored tips and it's three
leaves, one for each letter. The wood.
bine that trails over the stone walls
and is sometimes mistaken for 1t has
five leaves instead of three and does
not have that reddish cast to its
leaves. Usually it does not affect
people.
And do not let the children become
sunburned. There are some misguid-
ed souls who believe that sunburn

Our Children-By Angelo Patri

If the children are sunburned the
skin should be bathed with some
healing lotion like honey and almond
cream, and then they should be kept
out of the sunshine until the skin is
we'll healed. Don't make the mistake
of coating a child with cold cream
and setting him on the beach to fry.
I've seen that done with dire results.
When you. set off to the country
or shore make sure that you have a
solution for bites and a lotion for
burns and poison ivv.

inquiries from parents and teachers the
care and development of children. Write him

HOW TT STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"Jotting It Down" "

This expression is commonly used
of something which is to be written,
where the implication is that it will
take no time or effort, that the writ
ing amounts to no more than a scratch
or a "jot.' We all know that there
is a type Of person who, not very
fond of work himself. has the habit
of minimizing anything that he asks
other people to do. Accordingly he
might request some one to "just jot
down" perhaps a dozen pages or
more! That, however, would not be
in keeping with the meaning or the
origin of the phrase.
For the origin of "jotting 1t down"
we must turn simply to the word
"jot," derived from the Greek "Iota"
or II" 1t means a title, the dot over
the "I" or a mark over a letter to
distinguish pronunciation. and it's sig
nificance extends to anything of slight
value or proportions.
Literally "jot down" would mean to
make a mark. And it is in the sense
of making just few marks that we
today refer to writing something down
as ''jotting it down.
