A Moroccan Charm.
Moroccan wives have n most elabo
rate recipe for winning back the nfTcc
tlons of an unfaithful husband. First,
th" deserted or suspicious wife draws
n straight line In pure honey from the
middle of her forehead down to her
chin and collects the drippings In n
spoon. Then she rubs (he tip of her
tongue with a lig leaf till it bleeds
and soaks seven grains of salt In the
blood. This she mixes with the honey,
adds more salt which has been carried
for a day and a night In n tiny Inci
sion In the skin between her eyebrows
hikI finally adds n pinch of earth from
the print of her bare right foot on the
ground. The dose Is then put Into the
erring husband's food and. according
to Moroccan tradition, never fails to
restore him to his allegiance

GALE ASSISTS THE FLAMES
Fifty-five Blocks Destroyed With Esti
mated Lots of $6.000,000 City's
Fine Business Buildings in Ashes.
More than fifty-five blocks of build
ings were destroyed by fire In the
eastern business section of Hot
Springs. Ark.
The loss is estimated at $6,000,000.
There were no casualties but
number of persons have been Injured.
An appeal was sent to Little Rock
for aid and the capital city sent
apparatus and firemen to Hot Springs
on a special Iron Mountain train.
Water, dynamite and every avail
able means of fighting the fire had
failed to check the flames six hours
after the fire started. Firemen many
times endeavored to destroy build
ings yet untouched, but the flames
swept over the partially wrecked build
ings and broke out In new places.
When the power plant was burned
and all the city electric lights went
out conditions throughout the city
bordered on a panic. The entire po
lice force was ordered on duty and
special officers were enrolled to help
preserve order and prevent looting.
As the flames swept on the glare
dispelled the darkness caused by the
lack of electric lights and In their
light the flight of the townspeople
could be seen going on in every street.
The fire originated on Church street,
three blocks east of the government
reservation and near the army and
navy hospital. It swept southeast
away from the hospital and reserva
tion for an hour when the rising wind
shitted In direction utitl carried it
again In the direction of the business
section, taking the public utilities
plant and every business structure on
Malvern avenue.
The fire swept south, burning the
Ozark sanitarium and beuutiful high
school building when tho shifting
wind current agnln curried the llames
to Ouachita avenue, sweeping a wide
pathway, destroying the (iarlanil coun
ty courthouse and for a time serious
ly threatened to turn buck in its path
anil sweep down the main section of
Central and Ouachita aveiiuo.
Hy heroic efforts of the Hot Springs
and Little Rock fire departments, the
latter having arrived by special train,
the fire was kept from turning buck
on Central avenue, but there, was no
checking the dames In the direction
the wind was carrying It, anil building
ifter building was destroyed In the
space of a few minutes.
Following are noma of the principal
huildings destroyed:
I'ark hotel, water, light and gns
plants, Ozark sanitarium, high school
building, Central Methodist church,
Garland county courthouse, Moody
hotel, Sigler apartments, Iron Moun
tain station and shops, liijou rink and
an unknown number of business
blocks, smaller business buildings and
resiliences, many of tnem in a palatial
residence section.
At least 2.500 persons are home
less today. Some of tliem are being
cared for by friends who escaped tho
fire, others have moved to the suburbs
of the city and are sleep'ng on the

LC0P THE LOOP IN PLANE
Startling Exhibition Is Given by Air
man Peguid in France.
Peguid, the aviator, who on Aug. 1)
dropped 900 feet from an aeroplane
while in flight and by the use "of a
parachute landed safely, performed an
other sensational stunt at Jusvisy,
near Paris, when he "looped the loop"
while flying at a height of 1,500 feet
in his aeroplane.
When about 3,000 feet up Peguid
turned the bow of his machine toward
the earth and darted downward with
the motor going at full speed. After
dropping some 1,200 feet Peguid
turned hts rudder in such a way that
the monoplane turned a complete
vertlcle elide. The machine then
came down In a great spiral vol plans

Convincing evidence of the fact that this is a good Dress Goods store.
Wide color range assortment of weaves and fabrics comprising everything
favored of fashion. And stock comprehensive enough to include every

great effort put forth to assemble nice assortments at 60c as at $2.00. This

OF
Knots and Hours.
Kin- pi ; sun., out of ten will any
!hal mull and such a steamship Is
?npah,e of steaming nt "twenty-live
knots per hour." A nautical man would
slnipl) say "twenty-five knots." Now.
wlih h is correct': The hitter, of course.
The mistake arises from the fnct that
the lai.dsinan thinks that a "knot" Is
Just the nautical term for a "sea tulle,"
which Is. roughly. li.OSO feet, or nbout
one and one eighth land or stntuto
miles. Now. a knot Is not n djstnnce nt
all: it Is a sped. The word "speed"
combines distance and time. Kor In
stance. If we wish to speak of tho
speed of a train we refer to It ns so
many miles per hour There Is no sin
gle word In the language to express
speed limits, so we must use two words
miles and hour.
The sailor has a language peculiar to
himself, and he has invented n slnglo
word for a unit of speed. Thus n speed
f one nautical mile per lion;- Is culled
one "knot" Hence It Is redundant to
tack on another "per hour" after the
word knot when the word nlrendy In
cludes one "per hour." London Tit-
