covered. Her youngest son, Ro-
bin, arrived after the interment
had taken place.
It had at first been decided to
bring her remains to Opelousas

husband, Caldwell Swayze, in the
protestant cemetery, but for rea-
sons unmentioned, the family de-
cided to place the beloved old
mother by the side of the boy
she had so idolized.
Mrs. Swayze was a well known
personality in Opelousas, a bril-
liantly intellectual woman, as
well as the manners, aplomb, and
conversational ability that be-
spoke her of the old blue
blood of the south. She was one
of the reigning bellies of her day.

Will ACETATE ROAD
TO KROTz SPRINGS
Solons Think Atchafalaya
Country Should Be Con-
nected With Opelousas.

There is some talk of agitatlng
the opening of a road between
Port Barre and Krotz Springs,
which would connect the Atchafa-
laya country with this city.
There is no questioning the fact
that a road between this city and
Krotz Springs is badly needed,
not only because it would afford
the people of that country an
outlet, but because it would afford
one straight road between Opel.
ousas and Baton Rouge, which
the people of this city are begin
ming to realize would be a great
thing.
Pointe Coupee parish is having
a road built from the Atchafa-
laya river to some point about
seven miles distant, which will
connect with a direct road lead
ing to the capital city.
By building a road from Port
Barre to Krotz Springs, which
would necessitate the construc-
ton of about seven miles of road
way all that Atchafalaya coun-
try from above Melville to Krotz
Springs would be several miles
closer to this city than at pres
ent. The distance between this
city and Baton Rouge would be
reduced approximately one Run
dred miles; this would conse-
quently afford the people of this
city an opportunity to transact
business by automobile, without
difficulty.
Another important fact about
the erection Of a road between
Port Barre and Krotz Springs is
that the automobiles travelling
between New Orleans and Tex
as would pass through Opelou-
sas, because the Baton Rouge
Opelousas road would be several
miles shorter than the present
road connecting New Orleans
with Texas. Consequently when
the question Of erecting an in
terstate highway would arise
again the Opelousas road would
no coubt be accepted as the best
and shortest to Texas and New
Orleans.
II is to be hoped that the citi-
zans of the Eastern portion OF
this parish will not give up the
fight before the battle is over
and that the police jury will
give their proposition affair hear.
ing.
The road is needed. as every
citizen is aware, and the cost OF
constructing a graded road
would not be so enormous after
all. Not even the cost of a road
machine. 1t would certainly not
be out of place for the police
jury to consider the erection of
the road at its next regular
meeting.

this despatch from the Belgian Minister
for Foreign Affairs at Ostend:
The German troops, having taken

CANADIAN WOOD TESTED
Western Yellow Pine Stump Makes
Great Test-Rich in Oils, Pitch and
Turpentine.

Preliminary distillation of a green
western yellow pine stump which was
brought to Moscow by the forestry ex-
perts from British Columbia recently
for experimental purposes in the by
products laboratory at the university
has just been completed by Professor
Shattuck and his assistants. In flg-
uring the yield, which is a remarkable
one, the figures have been based on
a weight of 5000 pounds of similar
wood, altho the amount actually tested
was less than that weight.
The results of the test are as fol-
lows: Total gallons of acid liquor
1861; total gallons light oils, 6.f' to-
tai gallons heavy oils, 81; total gal
Ions of crude turpentine, 23.l; total
pounds of pitch. 1928; total pounds OF
charcoal, 1888.
