FROM LOUISIANA
Loyal a II d Progressive Monroe County Boost CT Writes From LOuiS-
 ianna His Views
 on Roads, etc.

The ARGUS has from time to time during the past few years made mention of A. C. Ander- son an ex-Monroe County bCy who is making good down at Kentwood, La. Mr. Anderson is a son of MT. P. R. Anderson of Zent and a brother of Mrs. Ira J. Woodfin of this city.
 In his letter sending in his subscription to the ARGUS, he writes on the road question. His letter is as follows:
 Kentwood, La, Jan. z, 1914, MT. w. B. Folsom,
 Brinkley, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 1 am enclosing herewith my check on Kentwood Bank for 1.5O, which kindly place to my credit.
 1 am enclosing herewith a folder gotten out by the Kent wood Chamber of Commerce, which is a Boosting" organi- zation similar. to the Commercial Club of your town. l might add that although this body is just a little over one year old, it has succeeded in locating a large canning factory in our town. We also see many other benefits derived from it, and are thoroughly convinced that the success of Kentwood, or any other town, depends wholly on the altruistic cooperation of It's citizens.
 The writer is interested Tn the success of the Road Bond Propo- SitiOn which yOur paper IS agi- tating. Monroe County can never have roads until she pays i for them, and the way to get the money is by bonded indebt edness. With the class of sol you have in that vicinity, 1t IS absolutely impossible to bullc roads by the process they are now using. Regardless of how l ugh you shovel the dirt in the S, manner, when the winter rams co me your roads will become ve. y near impossible.
 1 expect at some future date to r, enurn to Monroe County t' mak,, my home, and hope tha vour citizenship will in the neal future give their attention tt herman 1ent road building by voting 3 bond issue. le.au
 Wishi ng you and your prosperous 1915, l remain,
 Very truly yours,
 A. c. Anderson.

Ar Scouts Phonoarapt,s.

When the military aeroplane is scouting, it usually carries two men. Ore is the pilot, who runs and steers the craft; the other is the observer, who marks the placing of the hostile troops, the position of their guns, the movement of trains, and the like. The observer also makes many sketches of the ground over which he is flying work that often interferes with his writing notes and memoranda. In certain conditions of flight, too, 1t is often hard for him to use pencil and paper To obviate that difficulty the military aeroplane now frequently carries photograph, with speaking tube running to the mouth of the ob' server, so that by talking into the machine at any time during the flight he can record his observations, and still have his hands free for his field glass or his sketching pencil.

Defects in Eyes.

One of the marvellous gifts of the eye is the distinguishing of colors, and here most eyes are more or less de- fective. Many eyes otherwise effec- tive strangely do not convey to the brain from the retina by way of the optic nerve the reflected rays of light that make for either of the primary colors-red, blue and green-not to speak of the innumerable intermedi- ates, all due to the absorption, reflec- tion and transmission of rays of light of varying wave lengths. It might be said that we do net see objects at all, but only the myriad wavelets ot iuminiferous ether that are reflected from them.

It may not have been hard to do, for pike often move sluggishly, and on fine warm days they have habit of basking on the surface.
