Senator Leon r. Smith of Caddo
preciDitated lively fight in the legis-
lature when he introduced two bills
that affect the carbon industry, one
Of them vitality so. One of the bills
provides that the Department of Con-
servation shall prevent the wasteful
use OF natural gas and the other pro-
hihits the use OF natural gas In cases
where the product does equal ths
value of gas consumed. Senator
Smith said that he believed legisla-
ton along the lines of his bill iS nee
essary in order to prevent waste and
the early exhaustion of the gas fields
in the state. 1t is his purpose, he said,
to make a hard fight for the passage
Of the bills. The carbon Interests
will oppose at least one Of the bills
vigorously on the ground that it would
put them out Of business and destroy
the value Of their plants. The carbon
people charge that the pipe line inter
ests are working against them In or
der that the pipe lines may be able
to control the supply of natural gas.
Representative Webb Of Ouachita
said that he would oppose any meas
ure that was intended to cripple or
hamper the carbon industry.

rating in the Monroe district" Mr..
Webb said, invested their money at
the solicitation Of the Monroe Cham

they would be given fair treatment.

HELPING THE wAR-FUND.

As the result of the successful work done for
+be blind at Ampere New Jersey, where they are
earning their living doing electrical construc-
ton, DR.. Schuyler S. Wheeler, president OF an
electrical machinery manufacturing company,
recently spent three months in France and Eng
land introducing his system OF blind work IN
those countries on the invitation of their respec-
tive Governments.
NIn France, I found that they had adopted the
paternalistic attitude toward the blinded sol
der" he said, Whereas in England, under the
able direction of Sir Arthur Pearson, the idea IS
to fit the soldier for further use in the CONNER
cial world In England they strive to make him
independent and able to earn his own living. The
English idea must be the American the peo-
pie of this country believe that every man, blind
or sighted, should have the opportunity of earn
ing his own living.
Dr. Wheeler found that while the French in
sisted the blinded soldier should only do such
work as they can do at home, the English be-
lieved in fitting them to take their places in the
workshops and factories as they did before they
sacrificed their eyes for liberty. He believes
that this idea should be adopted here and estab-
Iished his blind workroom at Ampere, to prove
that it was possible. This workroom, known as
the Double Duty Finger Guild, does exactly the
same kind of work as is done in the factory. The
blind insulate the coils used in motor and dyna-
mos and do their work effectively as the sight
ed workers. In addition, the blind are doing 9TH
er work hitherto done by the sighted such as
weighing and stacking rotor cores assembling
and riveting pole shoes, sorting punching and
tapping field coils. Graduates of the guild are
working in other factories. Five are sticking
pins in cards, two helping build the treads
and attending to stock tables, one is twisting
wire by machinery, and one is painting and pol
ishing the arms and legs of dolls in New York
City factory.

A TIMELY WARNING

The American Defense Society has issued a
timely warning against potential spies of the
country who are operating in all parts of the
country. The warming reads:
BE the alert. Keep your eyes and ears
open. Take nothing for granted. Energy and
alertness may save the life of your son, your
husband or your brother.
''The enemy is engaged in making war in
this country, in transmitting news to Berlin, and
in spreading peace propaganda, as well as lies
about the condition and morale of American
military forces.
Whenever any suspicious act, or disloyal
word comes to your notice, communicate at once
with the Vigilance Corps of the American De
Tense Society, with the police department, or
with the local Office of the Department of JUS
tice."
While the government maintains very strict
secrecy regarding its campaign against spies, it
is stated authoritatively that in a number of
cities the warning has produced most gratifying
results and has checked the activities of NUM-
Der Of very dangerous German agents.

TO PROVIDE HOMES FOR RETURNED
SOLDIERS.

Secretary Lane presented to the President and
to congress recently comprehensive plan for a
preliminary study of the unused lands OF the
country, with particular reference to the irrga-
ton of some $1,000, 900 acres of arid land the
drainage of between 100000 and 100000
acres of swamp land and the clearing of approx
imately 200,o0O,0oo acres of cut-over or logged
off land, with the purpose in view of retaining
these lands through Governmental agency and
providing homes for retired soldiers.
That the secretary's letter touched popular
chord is indicated by letters in reply from sem
ators and congressman, from comment OF the
floor of congress, and from editorial comment
in some of the leading newspapers of the coun-
try.
The Rocky Mountain News, says
This is nationwide plan for land conserva-
ton for the use of the deznobilized American
armies when they have completed their job on
another continent The preliminary work should
be undertaken without delay. It is big under
taking naturally, having to do with the provision
for millions of able-boded men. There is no
frontier line outside of Alaska. Practically all of
the most available public lands have been appro-
priated. New empires must be constructed of
land in waste; arid land must be irrigated;
swamp land drained, cut-over land cleared of
stumps and watered where this is required.
There is nothing Utopian about this plan. The
government would be increasing the resources
and the population and the accumulated wealth
of the whole nation and strengthening it's foun-
dation by adding millions of sef-supporting
farmers to lands all but desoiate. What is
aimed at is to help the newcomer to these lands
to help himself; for him to make a permanent
home, one that by industry and thrift would in
few years leave him independent"
