That Natchitoches did not lead,
or mt least did not rank among
those ten or twelve parishes thai
have airerdy had their Child
Welfare Week, is due to two
causes:
First, the chairman who had ii
in Charge was unable to serve on
account OF i'll health, and failed to
report same until called upon for
progress Of work. Then the gov
ernmant was unable to furnish the
cards, blanks and other necessary
raraphernalia for the Carrying out
of orders; and tho both the State
and National Committees werr
communicated with several weeks
ago, part of the material is jus
coming in now, and there will be
furSt,er delay.
Dr. Cooley has kindly volun-
.teered his services to assist in the
work, and after consulting with
higher authorities, it has been de-
cided for several'reasons to post
pone the weighing and measuring
test until August.
T.ls date for this very impor-
tant weeks work, for which the
government has allowed, one years
time, will be announced later.

MUST MAINTAIN GOOD ROADS
TOO Much Money Spent for Construc-
ton and Too Little for Proper
Maintenance.

In MANI county in the South the
condition Of the roads is the same as
those which the editor of the Clinton
Democrat describes as existing in his
county. NE says:
I'VE can't survive the impression
that he have wasted lot of money ::
that we have built lot of roads that
have gone back to their former condi-
ton, from neglect; that we have bur-
dnned our posterity with a debt that
has proved to be a rather bad invest
ment. We have burdened our children
with the bonds that will be mighty
hard to pay, and we will have to an
swer for great deal, if for their $780,
GOO we leave them legacy of mud
holes, a heritage of sand and water
One Of the main defects in our present
program, we think, is the fact that we
are spending all Of our money on con-
struction and are not taking proper
thought for the maintenance of the
roads. The Progressive Farmer.

TO MAINTAIN GRAVEL ROADS
Never Hard and Smooth Enough to
Prevent Immediate Rutting by
Wheels of Wagons.

Gravel roads are never hard and
smooth enough when opened to travel
to prevent almost immediate rutting by
the wheels of heavily loaded wagons.
In fact, gravel which contains enough
clay to pack Immediately under the
roller or in a few days under travel
will always prove to give muddy
road when the frost is going out in the
spring and during prolonged wet spells
at other seasons Of the year. If such
gravels are found on a road they can
be greatly improved by covering the
surface with thin layer of sandy
gravel, applied when the road is soft
and allowed to mix under travel, the
road being kept smooth by the frequent
use of the road drag.
On any gravel road, dragging with
a suitable road drag should begin after
the first good rain following the COM
pletiOn of the road and be continued
after each subsequent rain until the

ANGRY FANS DO NOT
SCARE CONNIE MACK
Athletic Manager Is Only Leader
Who Dare Defy Bugs.
Squeamishness Not Found in Human.
FiIament From Philadelphia When
1t Comes to Disposing Of Most
Popular Player.

One Of the distinctions wrenched
from reluctant fate by the indom-
liable Connie Mack is that of being
the only leader in baseball history with
nerve enough to defy home fans by
selling popular players.
Only recently was presented the
spectacle of Branch Hickey worrying
himself sick over the problem of what
to do with fabulous offer for Horns
by, player who may prove to be over
rated or who may be caught in the
draft age ere the 1913 campaign is
over.
Common sense told Hickey that the
absurd money proffer ought to be
snatched up without debating the mat
ter for more than a wink's time, vet
fear that the fans would accuse him of
wrecking the clubs pennant chances
forced him to put all thoughts of sell
ing Rogers into the background
against his better judgment, it may be.
No such squeamishness was to be
found in the human filament from
Philadelphia. Connie swung his mace
on a worlds championship machine
and wrecked it before the very eyes of
the astounded mob. He has continued
to dismantle it ever since, has de-
nuded it Of almost the last vestige of
its former greatness. He survives, he
has bank roll and owns an inexpen-
sive team and will be financially forti-
fed better than most Of it's rivals. il
the worst comes because of the war.
However, Connie had his clientele
on the trip when he smashed and bat.
tered down this great baseball club.
He knew before he began the destruc-
ton that there was no comeback at
him because of third and even less
enviable distinction that had attached
to his Athletics-that of having been
the only worlds championship, team in
modern history to go through the sea-
son a money loser!
Back into the teeth of the Philadel-
phia fans Connie hurled it, when re-
preached for breaking up his team.
what do you care?' he snarled. 81
gave you worlds championship club
and you wouldn't patronize it. Good
night" No st. Louis clubowner, about
to sell a star, would have the moral
support of similar lack Of popular
Interest to fall back upon. st. Louis
fans have always given st. Louis clubs
splendid support at the slightest en-
enlargement. That's why Hickey de-
cides to keep Hornsby instead Of the
$65, 900 more or less-that Weeghman
threw On the table.

MATTY AND COBB DISAGREE
Two Masters at Variance on Benefits
Derived by Ball Players in An
cient Game Of Golf.

Christy Mathewson, noted pitcher
and manager, today comes with a big
boost for golf, insisting that golf is
beneficial to any ball player, if not
overdone. In passing, it is interesting
to note that Ty Cobb, noted batsman,
Is a great lover of the ancient game,
but gave it up last year as he claimed
1t "dimmed" his batting eye.
Thus we have the two masters dis
agreeing. Both are artists, one in de-
ceiving the batter, and the other in
running" the pitcher. Ty says the
follow through" in golf is different
from the follow through" stroke in
baseball, and that the perfection of
one will be the detriment of the
other.
Matty already has advised a num-
Der Of his youngsters to take up the
game. Cobb, on the contrary, has
tried to discourage it among the dia-
mond tossers. So there you are.

road surface becomes so hard and
smooth that heavily loaded wagons
make no impression on the surface.
But dragging must be frequent the
first fall until winter sets in and the
following spring until the middle Of
May or the first Of June. After that
the dragging will not be very effective,
unless the rains are of long enough
duration 70 soften the surface slightly.
and may therefore be less frequent.
But dragging will be found very effec-
tive and efficient in the late fall and
in the spring when the frost is coming
out and before the gravel is fully set
tied.

Great Wall of China

An examination of the bricks and
mortar in the great wall of China was
recently made at Shanhaikwan by ].
G. Witt, a chemist attached to the bu-
reau of science, Manila. Mr.. Witt re-
ports that the bricks are so weak that
pieces may be easily broken off with
the fingers. They are much larger than
ordinary building bricks, gray in color.
and resemble pumice somewhat in
structure. The mortar, which is pure
white under the exposed surface, is
much stronger than the bricks. The
tradition that the bricks were dried in
the sun only was confirmed by labora-
tory tests. If they had been dried in
kiln the appearance of the wall
would have been considerably different
and its strength and durability would
have been much greater. The general
appearance and analysis of the mortar
Indicate that no sand was mixed with
the lime.

Observe Same Rules of Drainage as
apply for Earth Roads-New
Surface for Concrete.

The maintenance Of concrete roads
consists of observing the rules Of
drainage as for earth roads, and in
filling with tar any cracks that may
develop. Nothing can be done for the
surface when it begins to deteriorate
and break down. It will serve as a
base for some of the higher types Of
bituminous surface, and after the con-
crete has served its usefulness it
should be resurfaced with a bitumin-

that Groom showed about as
much stuff last year as he ever
did. Groom has fine speed, a

occasionally. Evans believes
that Fohi will make much use
