j.. Drainage =: -
Less than $4,000 Mile Necessary
to Build Substantial Streets
is Opinion of Drain
age Engineer ..s

) The general discussion pertain
ing to street and road improve
. ment now being heard on every
side are developing ideas in sur
facing which contain suggestions
which may prove of worth to
those officials who must fur
nish the needed relief. The pro-
posed improvement of Railroad
Avenue and the imperative need
for something of a substantial
character in the way of surfac-
ing has caused one drainage and
highway engineer to suggest
plan which sounds attractive and
practical and which has the ad-
ditional merit of economy. This
suggestion might be applied to
all the streets of Morgan City
with equal benefit.
The communication to The
Review from one of the abIest
drainage and road building en-
gineers in Louisiana is in SUBJ
stance as follows:
Railroad avenue or any other
road or street may be put in
splendid condition as to surfac-
ing and drainage at a cost for
materials which will amount to
less than $4,000 per mile. Ditch
ing and the keeping open Of
bitches as drains is a constant
problem for communities but
there is practical relief from
many of the difficulties of open
bitches to be found in the shell
ditch In order to present a
mental picture of the establish
ing of street drainage by she'll
filled bitches, together with a
general recommendation for the
surfacing of the street proper
the engineer calls attention to a
cross section of such a street and
it's drainage:
"On both sides of a 16x18 or
20-foot street let there be imme-
liately adjoining the surfaced
portion a ditch dug to a depth Of
,hree feet with a width of two
:eet. Fill these bitches full of
'aw shells. Then place as a road
oundation a layer of 6 inches Of
'aw shells over the street,
o edge Of the bitches on either
ide. From the inside edge Of
itch over the shells which have
'een placed on the road bed,
lace a layer Of gravel to 3
epth Of four inches. No gravel
o be placed over the shell-filled
itches. With only q slight
rown in the street center the
rainage will be directly into the
hell bitches on either side.
.un-offs should be cut from the
utter side of the shell bitches

1T is claimed that the she'll
lied bitches have proven emf
emily satisfactory as drainage
itches because the water pass

trough a sieve. There would

ant cleaning would be elimi-

ABUSING BURLESON

 There have been dealings with labor unions dealings with postal employees; changes of many which have been doubt benecal some perhaps not bene ficia.

WHAT ABOUT WARRENITE?

HE BONDING bill which recently signed by Cover Hocomb includes provision for pavemerEs in the of S 100000 As certain birds know where the are, the purveyors Warene know when the Common Council is going to issue bonds.
 Warren Brothers Company cooy proposes to enter into contract with the city Bridgeport for the paving with rene Foundations other than Portland Cement Concrete for the of such streets to be paved at $i.65 per square yard of surface.
 For labor materials furnished preparation of the old macadan which the would be lad there de manded cost plus 15 per cent
 Senator Clark in seeking investigation of the financial affairs of Bridgeport brought from the office of the state high way facts to show that pavemens of this should be laid for about half the price that Bridgeport has been paying
 The Warrenite transactions a scandal; a shame; burning disgrace to the city that made them and oeras them; reproach citizenship that lacks the will the courage to protect itself.
 What going to do with this million dollars? Use it to two prices for pavement? Expend it with favored racors2 Are the burdened tax to be punished yet again?

FAIRFIELD MAN
 PLEASES TARS
Capt. George Augur Makes Big Hit at New York
 Show.

Capt. George Augur, the Cardiff giant, who resides on his farm in Fairfield, when he is not playing in vaudeville or in the circus, received a great reception last Sunday when the Barnum x Bailey Ringing com bined shows gave a special perform ance in New York for sailors from the U. s. navy
 Cat Augur claims to be seven feet two inches tall and when he apeared upon the scene he was greeted with applause and funny remarks by the jolly tars. The crew of the battle ship Pennsylvania invited the captain to enlist in the navy so he could play on their basketball team. Because of his great height they declared Capt. Augur could not be prevented from throwing goals at will.
 Capt. Augur is a prominent mem Der of the Elks. He was born in Wales but has resided in this coun- try for many years. He recently took out citizenship papers in the Superior Court in this city. He has a dwarf for partner in his circus act and the contrast in size makes the act popular with audiences.

When this is removed accorI- ing to the directions given for that part of the work, a thorough course of treatment should be given by man ipulating the spine, moving the flesh deeply upward and outward from the spineus process, while the patient lies face downward upon the operating table or high bed.

baking soda The trouble disappeared during the day.
 But there are other cases not so easily disposed of. The cause of such is not so readily ascertained, but, as a rule. the difficulty is found to orig mate in the diet. In such stubborn cases there must be begun systemat- ic process of elimination among the various articles of food. Carefully study the dietary previously used, a15 then leave off one article at a time, substituting others. The eating of crustaceans, or shell fish. may have been the cause. or such acid fruits as strawebrries or bananas are also known to have caused it, while pork in various forms, sausages, mush- rooms, cheese and even mutton, may have been the offending article. Just why this is so the average professional man cannot tell. Generally it is said to be wholly due to idiosyncracy. I am inclined to take issue with such a view. however, unless prepared to swallow the Christian science doctrine in full, without diluting, which I am not.
 The method of treating these stub born cases should usually be as fol- lows: First withdraw the offending material from the food; second, take either a mild saline cathartic or CO., pious draughts of sour lemonade, For several weeks let the diet be of a light and easily digesible nature.

The list of states whose legislatures have adopted similar res olutions includes. New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Ohio.

THREE LITTLE POEMS
THE MOTHER WAY.

When he comes home. my soldier
 son,
 From out that wide Somewhere, I'll not look at his coat lapel
 To find a croix de guerre. But straight into that heart of his, And then the eye long dry Will suffuse with a rain of tears, And I can cry and cry. For mothers are so strange and .
 queer.
 Save for one broken sound CYou've sometimes heard a mother When her kittens have been drown
 ed?) No sob or sigh escaped my lips In the months he's been away, As I read afresh the battle tales Retold from day to day. But. with heart and soul all sealed, And thoughts set far on high, I scorned to do so weak a thing As mourn or whine or cry. But the day he comes, all safe and sound.
 In warmth of joy the eye That holds the icy tears congealeS Will thaw---and I can cry.

FABLE OF A FLEA.

Once there was a little flea
 Upon a dog unwary, 4 combination, you'll agree,
 That's quite unnecessary. Yet somehow did that flea contrive
 To take the grand position That patient doggie was alive
 By it's (the flea's) permission. Now doggfes very seldom twist
 Their faces into lausSter. lis something that the scientist
 May talk about hereafter. And that is how it came about
 The flea in his elation Has not been shaken down and out
 By humorous demonstration. When doggie thinks it's rather queer,
 And wonders whats the matter, The flea climbs up into his ear
 And whispers soothing chatter It says. Each dog must have his flea
 And I shall not neglect you- You always can depend on me
 To counsel and protect you."
