Ono Of Youngest, Yet One Of Most
Thrilling Bird Men Of the Ass-AI-
most Flew Across Gulf Of Mexico
Last sprins-Has Been D" shre"e'
port Before.
In securing free attractions for the
State Fair this year the directors nave
been liberal In the use Of finances, ana
as a result some Of the most spectacu-
lar and thrilling feats known have
been assured, including exhibitions by
one Of the most famous of the present
day aviatOrs, J. A. D. McCurdy.
To some of the citizens Of north
Louisiana McCurdy IS not stranger,
for he appeared in Shreveport last
spring while en- route to the FLORIDA
coast to make his daring attempt to
fly across the gulf Of Mexico to Ha-
vana, Cuba. Incidentally he almost
made the distance. He was In clear
sight Of some Of the buildings OF Ha-
vana when his fuel became exhausted
and he was forced to take the water.
He was picked up by government
boat, which belonged to rescue fleet
that was used by the government to
save him In case Of accident. This
tNp CAUSED worldwide comment and
praise fer the daring young bird man.
As stated above. McCurdy made
Fights in Shreveport. He Is apparently
not over twenty-five years OF age.
handsome, with cheeks like those OF
pretty girl. but he has the nerve Of any
Of those belonging to the daredevil,
death defying class. He arose to a
great altitude at the Fair grounds last
spring and then displayed his familiar
ity with the airship. making it sweep
down like a big bird to within few
feet Of the heads Of the spectators and
then turning it suddenly into the air
to great height again. There was not
the sign Of an accident, and his fights
caused universal cengratulatiOn from
the spectators.
This same wonder. McCurdy, viii be
at the State Fair ut Shreveport this
year. his eAHlDIt!OAS VIII Uc 6iO"
on six days-three each day. Last
summer his manager notified the Fair
association that its terms were accept
able and that McCurdy would appear
at Shreveport during the Fair. The
contract was signed.
This is an opportunity for the State
Fair visitors to see one Of the modern
airships, en- the aeroplane order, in op-
Grafton. Each time he flies the bird
man takes his life in his hands. Nc
Curdv knows the game though and
never fairs to thrill the spectators. See

CIGARETTES.

Why is cigarette smoking more
injurious than cigar smoking?
The fact that there are several
theories on this point shows that
the question is still unsettled.
That cigarette smoking is more
harmful than pipe or cigar, is
pretty generally conceded, and the
righteousness is believed to be
physical. moral and social.
One theory is that the paper
wrapper the cigarette is respon-
sible for the trouble. This is
hardly sufficient answer to the
question, however, because the
fine rice paper used ON good CT
garettes is certainly not poison
Ous. Also the all-tobacco ciga-
rette eliminates the paper alto
gether.
Another hypothesis s, that rea-
dy-made cigarettes are "doped"
with opium or other injurious
drugs; but one has only to com
pare the price of opium with that
of tobacco to see the fallacy of
this view. Furthermore, the in
veterate smokers are usually the
men who roll their own cigarettes.
and they seem to suffer more than
others.
Again, we hear people say that
cigarettes are not injurious unless
the smoke is inhaled" that is,
drawn into the lungs and exhaled
through the nose. Unquestion-
ably this mode of smoking is more
injurious than the ordinary way.
But all constant cigarette smok-
ers do not "inhale."
1t is highly probable that the
true answer to the question has
psychological basis. Cigarettes
are cheaper than cigars; they
burn and "draw" more freely;
also they are much handler. The
average person cannot afford the
time and expense Of all-day cigar
but he can afford all-day
sigarette smoking. Consequently,
smokes too much. The cost and
size Of the cigar serve as a check.
The cheapness and hardness of
the cigarettes serve as a tempta-
ton.
Cigarettes, then, are more in
jurieus than cigars, simply because
they are easier to smOke.-Ex.

There is no business in town

COMPLETE SYSTEM OF
HIGHWAYS.

Some days we referred, at some
length, to the plan outlined, just
before Congress adjourned, BY
Senator Gallon in hfs gigaHtis
plan to srise-sross the esaAtry
with good roads by Building seven
national highways. but We by NJ
means exhausted the subject. As
is well known, much Of Rome has
been forgotten have the memories
enclosed between the covers OF
histories. Its wonderful build
ings, magnificent houses aid great
amphitheatres are cpumbling
stones, but the great roads built
by the Romans are in use today
"ud will live as long as the earth
is preserved. Throughout Eu-
rope, we are told. there are roads
which were built centuries age
and which have served generation
after generation and will continue
to be or service for all time. Road
building is not a modern inven-
ton. not discovery Of American
people. Yet we can truthfully
say that road construction in this
country Is just beginning. The
movement on foot now, and which
is spreading rapidly,to build great
national Highways 10 . tendency
toward the accomplishment Of the
most useful thing this eO1ntAy has
ever Jsne. We may point 20 tAe
permanent improvement Of sar
waterways and to the marvellous
engineering feat in connecting
the two great oceans with a ship
channel, but a national system o.
permanent roads will be the high
est mark Of our intelligence and
industry. Thousand of years from
this time the people who then in
habit the United States will look
back upon us q 2 people worthy
of our inheritance. This move
ment for a system Of National
Highways is young, but it met
with such pronounced approval
that it has gained tremendous
Roadway, and with the acc ustomed
enthusiasm Of the American peo-
pie back of it. we may confident
~ expect. that actual work on the
project will not be delayed very
long.
As we stated in previous arti-
Gle, Senator Cullom. on August
10th, introduced in the Senate a |
bill providing for the construction
of the most extensive and most ex-
pensive system of national high
ways that any nation ever dared |
to dream of in the history of the
world. Senator Cullom's plan il
to make the national capital the
hub" of a great wheel from
which will radiate the seven great
national highways. 1t il estimated
that these seven model roads will |
cost about $14S,OOO,OOO. Senator
Cullom s plan is to raise the mon
ey by issuing bonds to cover the
cost of actual construction. After
the roads are constructed, he pro-
poses to maintain them with funds
raised as tolls paid by those who
use them.
As has been truly said. the mind
falters when it endeavors to con-
template the great benefits to
como from such q system Of roads.
