THE GREENWOOD ROAD.
Is Well Graveled and Is i'm Good
Condition.

The condition of the Greenwood
road as it is today and as it was
three weeks ago could not be appre-
ciated except by those who were al
most appalled, in their misgivings
that this highway would impede all
vehicular travel TO the Fair grounds.
Three weeks ago this highway
was a sight of mud with the tracks
of the Traction Company almost two
feet below the road surface. 1t was
then impossible and detour from
the parish line to Hearne avenue
through the Fair grounds was the
only means of transit to and from
Shreveport on this road.
Since that time, the city through
Commissioner Epple has graveled
Hearne avenue from the intersection
of the Greenwood road to the old
gate of the Fair grounds, and Su-
perintendent Sullivan of the Trac-
ton Company has fulfilled his
promise. The stretch of the Green
wood road from Hearne avenue to
the parish line has been graded and
| is well grayeled and affords today
roadway that is in every respect
satisfactory for the accommodation
of the vehicle and automobile trail
| fic to the State Fair grounds In the
| receiving and the distribution OF
gravel there were some unavoidable
delays which were overcome by Su-
perintendent Sullivan working ar
| extra crew all day Tuesday ane
Tuesday night. This article is in
tended as the giving of credit t(
whom. credit is due. The gravel OBJ
Itained from the West Monroe grave
pit was hauled by the V. S. & P. rail
way without cost.

Accidentally Burned.

At the Fair grounds last night j.
f. Bird of Shreveport was acclden-
tally burned while trying to fill q
gasoline stove at his lunch stand.
His hair and whiskers were singed
and a hand blistered He was for
tnnate to escape with these slight
injuries. He received the immedl-
ate assistance of Officer Gillespie
and G.. A. Walker, one of Birds en-
ployes, who extinguished the flames
which were enveloping him. The
fire engine of the Shreveport fire
department stationed under th'
grandstand was on the scene almost
in the twinkle of time.

Gov. L. II. Hall at the State Fair.

Gov. l.. E. Hall with his staff failed
to reach Shreveport yesterday IN
time to participate in the parade.
He was unavoidably delayed over
the L. r. & N. When he reached the
Union Depot he was met by COM
mittee of the State Fair Association
and number of personal friends,
Dr.. Oscar Bowling, president Of the
State Board of Health; former Gov
ernor N. G. Blanchard, Lieutenant
Governor L. G.. Barret, Senator Leon
R. Smith and Hon. l.. E. Thomas,
Speaker Of the House of Represen-
tatives. The party after having
breakfasted at the home OF DIR.
Bowling, reached the Fair Grounds,
where Governor Hall delivered his
address. during which he reviewed
| the progress of the Fair and its de-
velopment He complimented the
Fair Association and the citizens Of
lShreveport on this achievement. He
was acclaimed with enthusiasm.
With his staff and number OF
This friends Governor Hall inspected
the displays in the Exposition Hall,
land from there he visited the
Schumpert building, the headquar-
tiers of the Better Babies exhibit,
where he was welcomed by Mrs. De-
Garmo, the superintendent, who ex-
planned entertainingly the detail!
and the rules which apply in this
contest. Governor Hall listened at
| tentively and was visibly impressed
most fayorably. From there he Wis
lited the exhibits of swine, cattle ant
horses, and this morning he re
sumed his inspection Sf the exhibit
in other departments. He will re-
turn to Baton Rouge, with his staff
on this evenings train.
Il 1t is. gratifying to state that Gov
ernor Hall expressed himself freel.
lin his approval and commentator
|of the Fair and its exhibits in thei
entirety.

Government Ownership.

Leslie's Nov. 6: Wait. 1t is report
ed that Postmaster General Burle-
son may follow the example OF his
predecessor in Office, and recon-
mend that the government acquire
all the telegraph lines in the coun-
try. Before the government enters
upon such,a venture would it not be
well to wait and see the outcome OF
the parcels post? II is still an open
question as to whether this will
mean profit or loss to the gov
ernment. Government telegraph
ownership is not an open question
however. Great Britain has enjoyed
government ownership and opera
ltion of telegraph lines for the past
forty years, and in that time its
postof1ice telegraph monopoly has
produced a total deficit of $87 ,OOO,-
GOO. At present taxpayers OF Great
Britain are paying at the rate OF
S4.2OO,OOO annually to enjoy the lux
ury of governmentally operated tel
| egraph lines. The principal reason
for this is monumental and ex-
travagant management, due to p0.
Ilitical control. We have the same
experience in various Federal de.
partments at Washington. To Sc
cure the same efficiency and econ
omy in the government that you ge
in private enterprise is a practica
impossibility.

of long coats and gowns, and, be-
meath the enveloping wrap, this gown
can be worn to card parties, after
noon receptions and any occasion OF

informal dinner, the theatre and sim

piece one that can be finished at
either the high or the natural waist
line and the blouse is made over
lining. II preferred. it can be made
high at the neck and with under
sleeves. but, just as illustrated. it is
in the height of style. A pretty and
quite different effect can be obtained
by the use of velvet over satin, or
plain charmeuse satin over broche, or
by the use of colored broadcloth in
place of the white. All yellow shades
are fashionable this season and buff
would be beautiful trimmed with
skunk and arranged over panels of
white. The fashionable mole colored
charmeuse would be handsome with
the edges of the skirt and blouse
simply stitched and the gown made
in this way would be much simpler

MENDINc WORM LINGERIE

Other lingerie blouses and corset
covers wear under the arms when
they may be in good condition o+her4
wise. One satisfactory way to re-.
pair this sort of break Is to SET n
a new piece. y
Use a dress shield as a pattern
making the pattern deeper and more
OF an oval than the shield. Lay this
pattern to the wrong side of the
blouse and see if it is the right shape
and large enough to cover completely
the weak spot.
A new piece OF the blouse ma.
terial can then be set in with beads
ing or lace, matching that on the
blouse perhaps, and outlining SO thar
it win not have the appearance 81
patch.
A tear can often be disguised BY
setting insertion in, in that place.
and in that way prolonging the life
of a garment.
Perhaps an almost new waist has
been apparently spoiled by a burn
or a hole made with acid. or a dis
igurement caused by a stain. See
/ if there cannot be a medallion Of
some sort set in. large enough I'd
cover the bad place entirely
Unless the spot or hole comes In
the middle it may be necessary to
set two medallions in-one on each
side of the front. But do not try
this sort Of repairing unless you feel
certain it will work out well

fieve my mother ever went out to
supper with a man in her life. She
even drinks cocktail and smokes

tell her that 1t Is unbecoming to a
woman. Truly, she looks bewitching
when she does it. am madly in
love with the little witch and know
that she is a good girl She Is beau-
tiful and am very proud when go
out with her. AS sweetheart she is
adorable. Do you think can make
her over after we are married into 4
wife like my mother was? would
not want my wife to do any OF the
things that she does now.
Sincerely,
From what 1 have observed of life,
/ know there are many men just
! like the poor, deluded chap who wrote
this letter.
He does not realize that there are
a lot Of girls of the same type OF, his
mother in the world-but they are
the kind that will be old maids. He
can never make his little chorus girl
over into an unselfish drudge, for she
| has been out in the world and re-
Allies such game is not worth the
candle. Many men with ideas like
this mans, if they should see the
kind of a girl that they think they
would like to marry, would not invite
her out to supper, let alone to the
altar.
If this egotistical chap will turn
his attention to making the little
chorus girl happy, he will find that
she will probably make him a good
wife. even if it is not on the pattern
of his mother. If he marries her and
tries to make her over, it will bt
another case for the divorce court
and all the world will say:
These women of the stage cannot
stay married.
But in this case. which do YOU
think wouldSbe most to blame?

good looking, but for a few weeks have
had a mustache growing. Kindly advise
me what to do. Z. g.
S The electric treatment is the best
for superhuous hair. but it is very
painful, am told, and in some cases
leaves scars. Bleach the hair on
your upper lip with ammonia and
peroxide of hydrogen, equal parts.
In time this will cause the hairs to
break off close to the skin, but you'll
have to repeat the process when they
begin. to grow again.
