will be seen to be as influential as
in adult wardrobes. Beige serge is
used for several charming children's s
coats, and is frequently combined
with trimming bands of bright color.
CREPE DE CHINE is used for max
ing of frocks for little girls and
suits for little boys. 1t doesn't seem
quito the thing for suit for little
boy of or 5. does it? Yet expo
rience has proved that 1t is a good
selection. 1t is thin enough to be
deliciously cool in warm weather: il
comes up very we'll after innum era bic
washings, and 1t has the advantage
that all silks seem to have over cot
tons and linens of staying clean
quite a time. Even little boys are
put into suits consisting of trousers
and coats. One charming suit is OF
brown crepe de chine for the trous-
ers and little short jacket, with cream
linen for the blouse, which has ruff
fed collar and cuffs.
Pleated crepe de chine frocks for
little girls are very attractive and
have the advantage over those of

null batiste or other cotton frocks
of needing less frequent laundering.
For the girl who is no longer con-
sidered very little the suspender skirt
which has recently been brought into
the limelight even for women is sure
ly a blessing. 1t makes the separate
washable waist or blouse a possibil-
ity even on an awkward girl of 10 or
IL. For practical purposes nothing
could be a better number in the girls
Spring wardrobe than a suspender
skirt of blue serge with two or three
white blouses to go with il. Good
quality blue serge, YOU know, comes
up smiling after careful laundering
and this suspender skirt may easily,
be cleaned by the family laundress-
without the expense of having to be
sent to the dry cleaners.
The jumper costume is one of the
adult fashions that have been taken
over into the realm of juvenile fash
ions. Rather scant pleated skirts
with close-fitting jumpers, worn with
detachable white collars and cuffs,
make attractive frocks for Spring.

The Fox Hunters.
A Story That's Queer in More Ways
Than One.

Burt was working for the Summer
on his uncle's farm. His uncle didn't
think much of Burt, because he was
"only a city boy" so. when Burt said
that he'd like to learn to ride, all his
uncle would give him was an old
pIow-horse he had recently got on a
trade and which didn't seem to be
much good for anything. He told
Burt he could use the horse all Sum-
mer.
One day Burt was plodding down
arcountry road on his horse when he
heard a great commotion in the dis
tance. Not far down, at cross road,
he saw a fox, its tail waving, dash
straight down the road. Then in a
short while there came a pack OF
dogs in full cry, followed by some
ladies and gentlemen on horseback.
Burt had never seen a foxhunt be-
fore, but he had heard his uncle say
that some of the richer folks in the
neighborhood had a fox-hunting club.
Then he noticed that his old horse
was acting queerly. He was CULVER
ing nervously. Suddenly he gave a
sort of snort, laid back his ears and
set off at run. 1t was all Burt could
do to hang on.
They caught up with the last of
the fox hunters and passed them. The
fox had turned into a field and the
horses jumped the fence. Burts horse
among them. They tore along a
wooded path. They came to a pond
and Burt held his breath, but the ice
held and soon they were on the other
side, Burts old hunter, who had felt
the call of the hunt up with the best
of them.
Just when Burt thought he couldn't
hold on a minute longer the party
slowed up, then stopped. The fox
was caught.
The old horses head droop-i. He
stood there. quivering and pathetic

Since the prohibition Of local legisla-

provided that all bills must be general

House has suggested form by which
this provision can be evaded. Suppose
Benton county should want a law ap-
plying to that county alone. 1t might
be reached in the following form:

Here is a true story about a Little
Rock parrot. The bird is said to be
an unusually intelligent fowl. 1t had
been educated on board ship, however,
and its training had not particularly
qualified it for the degree of d. ID. 1t
was unusually loquacious one day last
week and its owner covered the cage
with his coat so that the bird would
think it was night and would go to
roost. He left small opening, how
ever, in the lower corner of the cage
and as he turned his back was surpris-
ed when the bird stuck his beak
through the opening and shouted,
Goodnight. you old fool" and then
proceeded to go to rOOst.

The deeper the legislature gets into
the new situation by which it is con-
frOnted on account of the adoption
of the constitutional amendments, the
greater the confusion and uncertainty
that prevails. On account of the patch
work condition of the organic law,
there is stronger demand for the
calling of a constitutional convention
bill is pending in the Senate and will
be pushed to an issue by its author,
Senator Dulaney. 1t is believed that
new constitution will meet with a
more favorable reception in 1925 than
, it did in 1918.

A report made by the visiting COM
mittee of the House last week shows
that the average age of the inmates
of the Confederate Home is 81 years.
1t is inevitable that "the thinning line
of Gray" should be disappearing very
rapidly at this time. During the dis
cussion of a bill last week to enroll a
number of veterans and widows ON
the Pension list, the statement was
made that for hundred enrolled there
would probably be 400 deaths, so that
the aggregate number is rapidly de-
creasing.

one of the radical departures in
government affairs that will be made
effective by the present session is the
creation of two new members of the
Supreme Court. Efforts have been made
for the past ten years to secure this
much needed reform and it was made
possible by the decision of the special
Supreme Court in upholdlng the adop-
tion of the constitutional amendments
in 1924 That the offices will be Great
ed, there is little doubt. as their neces-
Sity is admitted by all. Their salary
will be fixed at $500 per annum or
S52,5O0 for the entire court as compar-
ed with $4,000 or $4,000 per annum as
ii is now. These distinguished iurists
of the state are mentioned for the
positions,-Former L. $. Senator w. f..
Kirby, Tom w. Campbell. Chairman of
the Democratic state Central Cammit-
tee ana Former Governor George w.
Hays, all of whom were strong SIM
porters Of Governor Terral in the 70.
cent election. Undoubtedly the an.
poiniees will be from among these
three men.

There is still a vast amount of inn

ing the two weeks remaining of the
present session. Most of the apprO-
priation bills must be passed, includ-
ing the general bill and the appropria-
tions for the Highway Department,
which carries over thirteen million
dollars and which is likely to cause
more or less discussion. The various
enabling acts will also require CON
siderable time to thrash into shape
and unless this is done the consequent
confusion in county and city affairs
will be very great Committees in the

The optimism of Governor Tom j.
