Parish Engineers Op-
tinlisdc On Road AT
fairs

Mr.. L. A. Loustalot, Parish Engi-
neer, visited Morgan City Monday
on a tour of inspection. He stated
to a representative of the Review
that the Amelia Road was being rap
idly converted into a model high
way.
81 am satisfied that we will soon
have good roads through every sec
ton of the Parish, he stated. And
cited the St. Mary-Iberia Connective
Link, which has recently been grav-
elled by order Of the Police Jury, as
an example Of work already accom-
plished toward this end. This
Link-a roadway through the Grav-
enburg property-has been the bone
Of contention between the two par
ishes for many years and, because
both parishes alike neglected it, the
strip was the weak link in the chain
of Southwestern Louisiana High
ways. Contention, however, has
been overridden and we have gray
elled the road"
Mr.. Loustalot is not only an en-
gineer of marked ability and au-
thority on all matters pertaining to
the construction and maintenance Of
public highways, but close observ-
er of the times; and his optimistic
outlook greatly encourages the citi-
zens Of rural districts, who as yet do
not posses the advantages of good
roads.

What Did The Spider
Spell

That New Orleans Spider has moth
ing on the Morgan City spider, when
it is case of "Spelling set Of words
in a spider web" It happened here
a few weeks ago, that an old negro
who lives out on Federal Avenue
came down town looking for some
body who could interpret the words
left in the net by spider. A promi-
nent citizen will vouch for this state
ment. It was this gentleman who
was approached by the negro and re-
quested to visit his house and endeav-
or to read the words in the web. This
citizen learned from the negro that
the words were not English, but evil
IDENTIFY Latin, and not being q Latin
scholar, he refrained from making the
visit, but invited newspaper man to
60 to the house and see the miracle
work of the spider. At the time, the
invitation could not be accepted, and.
the matter passed from further no
tise. Now New Orleans comes for
ward with the story Of the spider that
wrote Victory for America" the
question arises, was the spider that
did the work in Morgan City Of the
same prophetic family as the one that
wrote those encouraging words in the
Bouchon home in New Orleans. Who
knows? The words were not read.
They may have been in Latin, or pos
sibly German, but since so many spi;
ders have been writing forecasts for
tht outcome of the present struggle
across the waters, one may as well
add another from Morgan City.

Building the Robins, Nest.

1t is interesting to watch pair Of
robins when they start their house
keeping. Together they build the nest
or remodel one that they have occu-
pied for several seasons. In the latter
case the old leaves are cleared out and
a few crooked sticks added to the
clumsy looking mass. Then it is ready
for the mud cup that will make it firm,
solid and safe. The mother bird brings
the mud and uses her breast as ma
son does his trowel to shape, smooth
and press it into shape. She is very
dirty bird when she has finished, but
soon makes herself clean and neat
again. When lined with grass, moss
and feathers the nest is quite comfort
able.

Sunday ................... 81
Monday Observation-Disclosures. 40
Total ...........a.... 10
This record was only beaten by a
very few states and all Of them much
larger than Georgia.
While the Recruiting Week closed
with a total of 252 men secured, each
day showed an increase over the pro-
ceeding day which goes to show that
the Georgia men are giving careful
thought to the course they should
pursue in enlisting early in the Regu-
lar Army.
Good promotion is assured to the
man with ability if he enlists now and
many of this class of men have been
enlisted recently.
Since two out of three men who
have no reason for exemption will no
doubt be called for the National Army
in the very near future, men are re-
alizing more than ever the advan-
tages of joining the Regular Army
and are doing it as shown by the rec
ord of the past three days in a rush.
They want the choice of service and
they are getting it now. Infantry,
Field Artillery and Signal Corps are
all open now. And when the select
ion is made the right of individual
choice is lost to the man selected.
He must go to the branch for which
he is selected. Capt. Heidi, the local
Army Recruiting Officer was further
asked for statement as to how many
men would be taken from Georgia
and he furnished this very interesting
table.
