HIGHWAY THRU
FOREST CERTAIN
Conference With Forest Supervisor
Develops Plans-Foran Gap Route
win BE Taken Up First--Con-
meet With Albert Pike Highway.

That the Division Of Forestry Of the
United States Department Of Agrieul-
ture win cooperate with Polk county
in the construction of the Jefferson

the conference held Wednesday at Hot
Springs with the Forest Supervisor Of
the Arkansas National Forest Com
missioners John f. Hood, Ira 0. Smith
and Alex. Coyle, County Judge H. w.
Finger, Engineer J. j. Coker and J. II.

Polk county at the conference.
They were given the assurance that
funds were now available for the con-
struction of that portion Of the jeff
erson Highway passing thru the for
est reserve on the Foran Gap route,
and that probably before the highway
is completed thru the county funds
will also be available for the building
of that part of the road in the reserve
on the Eagle Gap route.
Preference was shown for the Foran
Gap route by the Forest Supervisor
for the reason that it would lead to a
large area of merchantable timber in
the reserve, and for the further reason
that with the cooperation of Scott
county, the highway on this route
could easily be connected with the AL
bert Pike Highway.
Commissioners John F. Hood, Ira
o. Smith and Alex Coyle, County
Judge II. W. Finger, Engineer J, J.

Fish That Spin Silk.

Silk stockings are very expensive
nowadays, says Parsons Weekly.
The most costly of all this kind of
hosiery however, is made from silk
which is not the product of the silk
worms, but species of shellfish called
a puma.
The puma makes its home in the
warm waters Of the Mediterranean
round Sicily. 1t has an odd little tube
at the end of its tongue.
Out of this tube. spider fashion, or
silk-worm fashion. it spins a silk thread
with which il fas.ens itself to any
rock to which it wishes to adhere.
When the puma moves on to fresh
feeding grounds its silken cable is left
behind. This cable. which is called
byssus. the Sicilian fishermen gather

sheeniest of fabrics but il is very rare
and the stockings woven from it con
