Briefly, she works as follows: Anyone in the audience may write a question on a slip of paper and put it in or her pocket. The question may be about anything that can be answered from the public stage. Miss Fay then not only repeats and answers the question, but she calls out the name of the questioner, and indicates what part the house the person is sitting in. Common sense suggests that there must be fraud or trickery about it somewhere; but if so, it is impossible to detect it.

Contributing very largely on their own account to the success of the five great loans, they exerted a powerful influence upon their clients and friends to the further great assistance of the government. Their support of other war measures was likewise of inestimable and immediate value, as was also their cooperation in the distribution of war savings stamps and the encouragement of the policy of thrift.

of "The impressive total 000 ti trust company resourees for 1919, a gain of $1,769,560,000, or 18.8 per cent over last year, is a most gratifying evidence of growth, affording AS it does fresh proof of the spirit with which the trust companies have met the increasing responsibilities placed upon them and assurance of continued healthy progress in strength and influence."

Ross Crane, of the Extension Department of the Chicago Art Institute, who gave his final lecture here Friday nigat, closing the week's Better Home Institute, said that Little Rock has taken first step toward building a beautiful city in planning the splendid park system laid out by John Noland. However, he warned that a city built without such a plan grows wastefully, and recommended that a copy of the survey be placed in the hands of every organization in the city to see that it is put through. The his address was "Dollarg and Sense for Your City." Mr. Crane emphasized the needs of the children. He said that the citizens should take immediate steps toward converting the city park into a playground for the children, by putting in an athletic field, tennis courts and a baseball diamond.

This would give Little Rock children first opportunity for wholesome athletics and normal, well-rounded life. The lecture last night closed the institute. F. M. Blaisdell, president of the Civic Improvement Association, which was instrumental in bringing the institute to Little Rock, presided at the meeting.

CANNOT APPOINT STATE DELEGATES Possibilities for holding a special primary for the election of delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be taken up with Governor Brough on his return from Washington. This decision was reached when information was received from the national committee ruling that the Democratic State' Central Committee has no authority to appoint these delegates. The question was brought up before the convention by Governor Brough, who was a guest at the Jackson Day dinner. Inasmuch as the State primaries are not held until the second Tuesday in August and inasmuch AS the national convention will be held in June, some relief must be secured, according to leading Democrats in the State. It previously had been suggested that regular primaries be moved up but the latest plan is to hold the special primary.

Governor Brough left Washington Friday night and upon his arrival the matter will be discussed with J. W. House chairman of the State committee.
