MISSISSIPPI
News Of Interest, Gathered
From Many Sections of
the State

Columbus.-A plan for pike high
way which will connect Mississippi's
two greatest institutions of learning
the Mississippi Industrial Institute and
College in this city and the Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical College
at Starkyille - is being projected
throug the prairie section of the re-
gion west Of Columbus.
The plan involves two separate road
districts in Lowndes County, the May
hew road district and the Westport
road district and funds for road i'm
provement in these areas are already
practically available. The consumma-
tion of the plan means the adoption OF
an improvement scheme which will
embrace the construction of major
highways leading from the rock road
which parallels the main line of the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad from Tupelo
to Meridian.
The Westport district in the western
section of Lowndes County has already
adopted a plan of highway construc-
tion, but the advantages of construct
ing a major highway is being urged
upon the commissioners, with the
promise of material federal aid in the
event the plan is adopted.
Government money is only available
for the construction of major high
ways. and not roads that merely serve
local communities. The government,
through the state highway commits
sion, stands ready to supply, funds in
an amount equal to the funds put up
by the districts, provided the projects
are approved by the accredited federal
or state engineers.

Eire-RetardInu Paints.

From tests made at the federal bu
reau of standards 1t appears that.
while practically all paint coatings
have some fire-retarding action, none
of those so far tested afford very great
protection. All the samples In question
were materially damaged by applica-
tion of fame for a few seconds. Both
sodium silicate and whltewash rank
comparatively high. These have the
advantage of cheapness and can both
be used on the same surface. However,
according to recent bulletin OF the bu-
reau, no treatment of wood after erec-
tion can be expected to serve as an ef-
fective fire protection, and the use OF
such materials should not be made an
excuse for emitting any Of the usual
precautions against hre.

BRED GREAT MEN
|ltaIian City Of Florence May
Claim High Honor.
HtialA,e Of Many Of Those Who
Nan% " intellectual Ability and
Achievement, Far Above the
Rest of Mankind.

At first thought one would be apt
to claim for London, the great metrop-
oils. the honor of having given birth
to the greatest number of the worlds
geniuses.
Among other great Londoners the
following might be cited: Francis Ba-
con, philosopher and essaylst; Spen-
ser, Jonson, Milton and Keats, world
known and honored poets; Hogarth,
Turner, Watts. Millais and Holman
Hunt, artists whose achievements are
acclaimed by all the world of taste
Fox, Pitt and Beaconsfeld, statesmen
who have Influenced the building Of
empire; Daniel Defoe, the novelist;
Faraday and Huxley, the scientists,
and many others. All these would
stand in the very front ranks of great
ness. some of them, like Milton and
Bacon, towering above their fellow
men like mountain peaks among mole
hills.
The Frenchman would undoubtedly
stand up for the claims of Paris, quot
Ing long list of poets and painters
and novelists and statesmen to justify
his boast.
The italian would probably put the
question: How far back may we go
In this quest? For If ancient Rome is
to be added to the record Of the more
modern city, where will you find her
equal?'
Then Athens would lift up her clas-
sic voice in protest, and quote long
list Of her sons who have formed the
models of all subsequent time in art
and poetry and philosophy and archi-
lecture.
But there Is another competitor
which can beat them all In this COM
bat. Compared with London or Paris,
or even Rome. il Is a small place.

effect of increasing considerably the

however, than In general the number

at the recent International Bolshevik

confessed that 'the socialist con.

Bolshevism is based is shaken at

Lunacharsky also admitted that the
worst enemy of Bolshevism was the
allied economic blockade and he even
went SO far as to predict the end Of
the Bolshevik regime If the blockade
continued. He said that owing to
physical privations from lack of bread,
fuel and raw materials 1t was natural
that wrath should be provoked against
the government and that it should also
