CALCASIEU CITIZENS
SEEK TO RE-ROUTE
PELICAN HIGHWAY,
Like Children They Cry for Some
More of Everything They
See.

\ petition signed by a number
of CalcaSicu citizens seeks to
have The Pelican Highway, bonds
for the building of the Jefferson
Davis parish section of which
were sold last week re-routed.
According to the present plan,
which has been approved by the
State Highway department, the
highway lrayerSeS Jefferson Da-
Wis parish diaSonally from north
east to southwest, connecting
with the main east and west high
way at a point near Iowa, and
supplying a desirable outlet for
the residents of the whole west
end of this parish, including the
communities of Edna, Fenton and
Woodlawn.
The petition seeks to have the
road turn due west at point a.
bout one mile south Of Fenton,
thence to the proximity of Heck
er, in CalcaSieu parish, and fol-
lowing the angles of the Calca-
Sieu river into Lake Charles.
The route as proposed by the
c0vet0uS CalcaSieu citizens would
leave Woodlawn about four miles
from the gravel Although its
mileage in this parish would be
virtually the same the routing
sought by CalcaSieu citizens
would be of relatively small val
lie to the district which will pay
the tax.
1t is not at all probable that the
plans of the State Highway de,
partment could be changed at this
late hour, but it would be well foI
the citizens of Pelican Road Dist
riot to keep an eye on The design,
ling ones over in CaIcaSieu.
! CalcaSieu parish should have {
road up the riverrOad up the riv
er-nobody will deny that, bu
the idea of stealing it from
needy sister doesn't appeal to ou1
strict sense of fairness.

Welsh Boy Visits Pope.

Albert Louviere has recently
received a letter from his brother
jim, datedat Rome, Italy, Febru-
ary the Goth, in which the writer
lends some very interesting side
lights on the travels and expert
ences of The American sailor boy
abroad. He tells interestingly of
a visit to the Papal Mansion and
of appearing in the presence of
the Pope. TO persons who know
something of how difficult il is
to gel a hearing personally before
the head of the Catholic church,
Jim's experience may seem mar
velouS. Officials of the church
and important laymen have re-
turned from Rome without the
much desired privilege Of appear
ing for an interview with the
Pope.
jim visited Genoa and other
interesting points in Italy.
Mrs. West is now ready to ac-
comodate few boarderS.

SIR LUKE WHITE
NOW IN POORHOUSE

LONDON, July 14-In a poorhouse
in Yorkshire is a man who twenty
years ago was one of the most widely
known men of the island. Through
his own efforts he rose from the po-
sition of an office boy in the law Of
flee to knighthood and a seat in the
British Parliament. Sir Luke White
was one of the most distinguished
lawyers in the north Of England, and
for many years handled the legal af-
fairs of the poor of his district. But,
on his election to Parliament, he be-
gan TO neglect his private affairs. His
law practice suffered, and so. last fall.
he found himself heavily indebted and
with little income.
Then he retired from Parliament in
an effort to retrieve his fortune, but
worry over his financial affairs had
Slapped his vitality and he suffered a
nervous collapse. 1t became neces-
sary for him to go into bankruptcy
with liabilities of $4,000. Friends
placed him In a convalescent hospital
and betrayed his expenses for a time,
but this assistance ending. Sir Luke
White was transferred to the poor
farm. And there today this man! once
powerful in the affairs of his country,
spends his hours in dreams of past
glory.

out by the vast amount OF business
which he had transacted since his
return. So accumulated was the
series Of official matters that the
President even passed up his GUS
tomary half-holiday on Saturday.
According to the schedule Of events.
the President Is expected to present
to the Senate this week the defense

erence to the League OF Nations.

TUSCUMBIA, Ala, July 14.-Inspired
by fanaticism to emulate ST. Paul in
Immunity to snake bite, Cleveland
Harrison, thlrty-two years old, OF
Colbert county, is dad after two days
OF intense suffering from the bites of
a rattlesnake at a meeting of the So
called Holy Rollers" near Tuscum-
bia last week.
Harrison at an evening service of
his sect allowed a rattlesnake, meas
uring three or four inches around. to
bite him in view of the congregation.
Harrison caught the snake, which
was in a box, just below the neck
and It struck him five times in rapid
succession on the arm between the
elbow and wrist.
The minister stated that Harrison
had allowed himself to be bitten be-
fore and there would be no harm as
a result Of the bites. Harrison o.
came i'll at once. Treatment by
physicians proved OF no avail. Har-
rison. who was a farmer, leaves a
wife and two children.
