Amendment No. II Not Valid

Amendment No. ~ to the state
constitution. which was intended to
prohibit the legislature from enact
ing local legislation, and one of the
three amendments declared by a spec
ial Supreme Court last February to
have been adopted legally at the Oct
ober, 1924. general election, has been
declared by the Arkansas Supreme
Court to have been irregularly sub
mitted by the 1923 legislature and was
held invalid.
This opinion will have the effect OF
validating all special and local legisla-
tionn enacted by the 1925 legislature.
Much legislation of this kind was en-
acted before the decision of the special
Supreme Court. but an effort was made
TO weed out all local bills following
that decision.

London the metal knuckle-duster is a
fairly common weapon. The Paris

When submarine boat becomes
disabled beneath the surface of the
water and cannot rise it's crew is in
bad predicament. To remedy the
difficulty an inventor has contrived
an auxiliary boat to be carried in the
submarine and to be a part of it,
practically. until needed. In time OF
accident the crew of the ineapacl-
tated submarine would enter the
little craft and when the containing
chamber had been flooded the bolts
would be withdrawn and the vessel
with its human freight would clear
itself and rise to the surface.

QUESTION OF SITE
OF HOLY SEPULCHER
Finding of Jerusalem Wall
Raises Point.

Part OF the wall inclosing Jeru-
salem built by Agrippa, one OF the
last Jewish kings, and destroyed by
Titus, has been unearthed recently.
About sixty yards of the wall, some
four yards in thickness, have been
uncovered by the Jewish Exploration
society.
This discovery has aroused deep In
terest In archaeological and religious
circles If this is the third OF the
series of walls built around Jeru-
salem, it is argued, 1t brings into
question the authenticity of the site
of the holy sepulcher, which Is thus
placed outside the city walls.
The third wall was commenced by
Herod Agrippa about 4O-44 A. D. and
was interrupted by the Roman COVER
nor Of Syria, to be completed later by
the Jews before the final siege Of the
city.
BY all accounts there wore three
walls which protected Jerusalem on
the north, built successfully both for
the protection of the weakest side of
the defenses and to afford room for
the steady growth Of the city at the
beginning of the Christian era. Both
the first and second walls were stand
ing at the time of Christ and the
place Of crucifxion and burial must
have been outside them.
Some scholars have contended the
gong-recognized site of the Holy
sepulcher is impossible because it liz
shut within ancient Jerusalem, it be-
ing known that crucifxions did not
take place within the city walls.
Adherents Of this view, especially
large number Of the English COM
munity who have always entertained
doubts about the location Of the Holy
sepulcher, see further confirmation In
the discovery of what is believed to
be the third wall.
The Jewish Exploration society,
which Is conducting these excava-
tions, holds with DR.. w. F. Albright,
director of the American School of
Oriental Research here, that the dis
/. covery Of the Agrippan wall does not
seriously affect ''this long smoldering
question" Doctor Albright admits
that the situation is awkward.
"Shail we decide for the holy sepul-
cher and against the evidence, or
against the holy sepulcher and also
against other evidence Of little less
cogency?'' Doctor Albright asks
Neither horn of the dilemma is neces-
sary. The present north wall of the
city dates back only to Hadrian's time
and represents wholly new line Of
wall. We are forced to the conviction
tina. archaeology rarely affects the
question of holy Sites The location Of
the Holy sepulcher win remain just
as certain or just as obscure as 1t is
today"
Along with this discovery there has
been unearthed mosaic belonging to
the late Byzantine period. According
to the Greek inscription on the mosaic
this was the tomb of a nun, near
which there was also apparently a
small Christian chapel.

Littlehale," says CowIes, and in one
of our shows he had to plunge into a
river, pursued by wild beast The
river was invisible to the audience,
and we fixed it so that Littlehale
should leap, disappear, and strike a
mattress in the wings, while stage
hand should drop big rock in a tub
so as to make a splash. The leap
worked magnificently in rehearsal,
but the night of the performance, the
stage hand forgot the mattress and
the tub. When Littlehale jumped he
fell eight feet to the oaken floor be-
meath and the crash was such ire
mendous one that the audience not
knowing the circumstances, began to
laugh. Littlehale was equal to the
situation. Heavens, he shouted

VEGETARIAN snrrrEMrNr.
Nothing Remains But the Stream
Where They Once Lived.


The faddists got to Kansas rather
early. The first thing in that line
seems to have been a vegetarian col
ony organized in the East for the
purpose of establishing settlement
in Kansas Territory. G. H. DeWolf
of Philadelphia was elected presi-
dent, D. McLauren treasurer, and H.
S. Club of New York secretary. The
place chosen was on small creek
about SIX miles south of Humboldt,
Allen county. About 100 persons
located there in 1856. This colony
refused to indulge in the use Of meat,
tea, coffee, tobacco or other stimu-
liant and lived only on vegetables and
fruits. Though each colonist was
to own his own property, the colony
was 70 be to certain extent, coop
operative. During the summer and
fall Of 1855 there was much sickness
and the greater part of tho colonists
left the country. The only reminder
of the colony which now remains is
the fact that the stream on which
they settled is still known as Vege-
tartan Creek. Kansas City Star,
