TEST OF COURTS FOR
THF ROM* AMENDMENT
Validity Will lie Attacked When
Legislature Meets—Thirteen
Cities Waiting.
Little Rock, Dec. 29.—The validity
of the municipal bond amendment,
which received a majority of the
votes in the last general state elec
tion, will be attacked in the courts
as soon as it is declared adopted by
the speaker of the legislature when
it convenes next month. Both the
friends and opponents of the measure
are anxious to have the question ol
its validity settled by the supreme
court before any efforts are made tc
issue bonds under the provision ol
the amendment. It is known that IS
cities of the state are waiting for a
judicial determination of the contro
versy before public improvements
are begun. Mayor Taylor of this
city, who led the fight for the adop
tion of the amendment, stated Iasi
night that an expression from the
supreme court will be necessary be
fore any attempt is made to issue
bonds.
Among the questions at issue is
the dispute as to whether the amend
raent was legally adopted or not
The amendment authorizes cities tc
issue bonds for public Improvements
JONESBORO MAY PLACE
LID ON POOL ROOMS
(Jonesboro Tribune.)
There is a movement on foot j
among some of the city officials to
have Mayor Burress call a special
meeting of the council this week to |
consider the advisability of passing j
an ordinance raising the pool room li-j
cense and regulating the same. The
chief of police and several of the al
dermen have been seen by a repre
sentative of the Tribune and all are
heartily in favor of making the li
cense so high that it will mean the
elimination of a number of these|
places.
The chief of police claims that;
much of the law violation of the city
ordinances is in these places and he
is very much interested in closing up
a number of the halls. A meeting j
may be called and an ordinance will |
be presented increasing the license,
but so far nothing officially has been
done. The question is being very
much discussed by a number of the
people of the city.

Cascarets immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the

GIRLS! GIRLS! TRY II!
BEAimFYYOUR HAIR
Make it thick, glossy, wavy, luxuri
ant and remove all j
dandruff.
—A—
Your hair becomes light, wavy,
fluffy, abundant and appears as soft,
lustrous and beautiful as a young
girl’s after a ‘‘Danderine hair
cleanse.” Just try this—moisten a
cloth with a little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
This will cleanse the hair of dust,
dirt and excessive oil and in just a
few moments you have doubled the
beauty of your hair.
Besides beautifying the hair at
once, Danderine dissolves every par
ticle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies
and invigorates the scalp, forever
stopping itching and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks’ use when you
will actually see new hair—fine and
downy at first—yes—but really new
hair growing all over the scalp. If
you c^re for pretty, soft hair and lots
of it, surely get a 25 cent bottle of
Knowlton’s Danderine from any
druggist or toilet counter, and just
try it. (advt.)
