port for the reason that the men who
are backing it appreciate the advantages
of the situation. This railway when in
active operation will be great help to
Shreveport. It will contribute its full
share in 1ivening business. The citizens
of Shreveport should evince their appre-
citation in some demonstration of wei

Victoria Woodruff is one of the few
American women whose marriage to
great wealth did not efface their per-
sonality. She married John Biddulph

his beautiful estate at Norton Park, in
Worcestershire, England, went to his
widow. Mrs. Martin is now engaged
in transforming the village of Bredon's
Norton into center Of culture, equip
ped with all the conveniences of mod
ern civilization. The estate has been
partitioned off into small lots, ranging
in size from five to twenty acres. A

added to the estate and competent
teachers put in charge. The college
as well as everything pertaining to the
estate is under the supervision Of Mrs.
