Astir In Plain Dealing.

There is some difference of opinion
about what the grounding did on Cam
dlemas Day. but there is no doubling
Of the truth that the sap is rising for
the spring growth in Plain Dealing.
New brick buildings are going up
and still others are to be built.
Oil prOspectors are coming to look
the field over in ever increasing num-
bers Leases are being taken under
contract for immediate development
work. Even the old oil well seems to
feel the budding Of all things and is
gushing forth few more barrels Of oil
than usual and gushing little oftener,
perhaps; or SO it seems to people in
whom the spirit of coming spring is be-
ginning to move.
And they are talking about how
early they can get to work on a new
school building for Plain Dealing, too.
The war put an end to the proceedings
i'll that way two years ago, but with
the end of the war in sight new
school house. well placed and fair to
see. is taking possession of the first
place in proposed public improvements.
ANY one from any community i'm any
direction from Plain Dealing has good
news about the fresh land being put in
a state Of cultivation for this years
crop. SO the Plain Dealing trade ter
| ritOry is being steadily developed !:
which Is the most solid backing for a
towns growth, after all. There is good
| farming land enough to justify little
| city. and il there is good luck in oil de-
velOpments or realization III other
| things hoped for. why our town may
lie something greater than a small city.
Well. work will soon be begun. it IL
said, on the hard-surface road leading
south out Of Plain Dealing; and that
is a good beginning for what should be
a movement for such roads III every
direction out Of the town. One farmer
remarked to Banner reporter last
4 Saturday that he would willingly give
| $50 for the building Of a good road
out by his place, but his taxes for the
building and maintenance of such a
road would he only a small per cent Of
such Il sum. Good roads are the best
investment a people ever made in the
way of taxing themselves. But this il

SHIPS ARMoR TOO LIGHT
(From the Scientific American)

(From the Scientific American)
 A naval lesson of the war is the su- preme importance of protecting the vitals of the ship against big guns, high explosive shell fire It book the actual test of battle to show how searching is the flash of bursting hign explosive shell of large caliber. The flaming gases of the explosion, white hot and under enormous pressure, search out the interior of the ship for unexpected distances.
 This was observed and commented upon by survivors from the Butcher, which was sunk in the battle of Dog gers Bank early in the war. In the case of three British battle cruisers at Jutland, the flash of Il and 12-inch shells that came through the roofs or the walls of the turrets, as the case might be, found it's way down to the powder in the handling rooms in the bottom of the ship and set off the whole magazine. This happened in spite of the fact that the hoists to the guns were provided with cut offs in the form of steel doors. Future construc- tion will take note of this.
 Necessarily these battle cruisers are
