A Party of Pleasure Tourists

A touring party from Shreve- port, enroute to Chicago in an automobile, drove into town this morning about 8:30 o'clock, and for 45 minutes drew around them quite a crowd of curious people. In the party were H. M. Carpenter, Tom Hughes, C.. B. Gamblin and w. k. Hirch, who are out on strictly pleasure trip.
 They are riding in a 50 horse power Mitchell car, carrying a 19 gallon gasoline tank, and left Shreveport Thursday morning.
 The party were complaining considerably on account of the roads, having made but 72 miles the first day, and 2S miles the second, coming here from Shreveport by the way of Lewis vile and Hope.
 They left here at 9:15 this morning, and expect to make Little Rock tonight.

Chicago, May 26. The private settlement of Theodore H. Wat ermams squeeze" in May wheat caused remarkable de- cline in prices today.
 The unloading, of S,000,000 bushels of September wheat by James A. and George A. Patten came conincidentally, and the drawal from the brokerage firm of which they have been members for generation. They will, at temporarily, withdraw from business also.
 There was a net decline in prices, ,Franging from 49c in Sep tember to more than DC in May.
 James A. Patten left his office tonight wearing a smile, and in his automobile had leisure to read headlines estimating his losses at anywhere between S640, GOO and S1, 100000 for the day.
 Asked by a reporter if he had to say about the mar ket, the big speculator laughed and said:

NOW AMPUTATION BY SHOCK
Eminent French Surgeon Suggests
That Operation May Be Per-

Paris.-Though 1t is not pleasant. OF

operation may be performed. there are
cases where It is absolutely necessary.

is quite novel. and not only painless
during the operation. but without the
slightest trouble afteiward Neither
knife, saw. nor any other cutting In
strunent is to be used The limb is
simply to fall of as II by magic, with
the wound completely healed and
cicatrized. The amputation suggested
is by means of electric currents of
high frequency.
Prof D'Arsonval explains that he
has been able to send currents of high
frequency through animals. and to
raise the temperature of TIER bodies
to a very high degree. without any APP
parent effect on their sensibility or
the contractability of their muscles.
The animals seemed to feel nothing

the calorific effect was such that GER

not betray the least feeling of pain.

Want TO FLY HIGH
Undoubtedly Most Fascinating
Form of Air Navigation.
IT'S an Exciting Sensation to Soar Up
the Invisible Aerial Stairway un-
eli Out Of Sight Of
the Earth.

London.-The most fascinating form
Of aviation is undoubtedly the high
flight. One watches the machine rise
from the ground and climb steadily up
an invisible stairway, winding round
and round in wide spirals. From the
size of a monster the vessel dimin-
ishes until 1t looks like an eagle. then
a wild duck. then a pigeon. black
birds. lark. bee. a fly. midge-
and SO it finally disappears out OF
sight; for men have now flown to
over a mile. and It needs a strong glass
and a clear atmosphere for specta
tor to detect a machine at such stupen
dous heights. One waits in amaze
ment asking how the daring aviator
will return safely to earth from the
clouds. Suddenly the machine darts
into sight. and 1t is seen plunging down.
ward at an alarmingly steep angle. 1t
is the vol plane, or dive. the most SEN
sational of all aerial feats. Having
climbed to his maximum. the aviator
shuts of his engine and deliberately
steers downward by the aid of the ele-
vator. He plunges through the aerial
sea at terrific speed. but not at hun
dreds of miles an hour as some I'M
aginative writers have put 1t. As the
air resistance underneath his machine
increases with the speed and the
amount of surface presented to 1t by
the planes. the vessel is automatically
led back to its normal gliding angle.
and the downward path becomes less
steep. In order not to get too far
away from his starting point the avia-
tor thereupon makes another spiral at
a gentle angle and then starts upon
another plunge. Thus by succession
of these maneuvers he comes to po-
sition from which he can make final
glide and reach the ground smoothly
and without shock.

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark II a.
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi-
cation Of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
in 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums of
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance SO great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy of the term
Worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build. will be a great ed
vocational movement. Its success as
such, however, Will depend entirely
upon the percentage Of our popula-
ton who can secure its educational
advantages, this In turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition. and
the cost In railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the 'Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama EXPOSE
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17,500,000
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 1000, 900.
Within a radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65.000.000.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average OF 300 miles from
New Orleans. there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 100000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities. with COM
bined population of Just 100000.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2.407 miles.
Over rs per cent. of the people Of
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex-
pense for railroad fare of $3.50. as
against an average of 1880 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mill
lions of our people. the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone.
for a trip to San Francisco. would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques-
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama EXPOSE
tion. and II held in New Orleans a
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There
fore, We urge our readers to write to
