Alexander has requested that
Il meeting be held in the Of
ice of his department, Fri
day, August 20, at 10 n. m ,
to be attended by the consor-
vation commissioner, the
federal and state highway en-
gineers and the presidents Of
the police .uries of st. Mary,
st. Martin, Iberia, Lafayette,
Terrebonne. Assumption and
Lafourche parishes.
The state owns another
valuable shell deposit at Sab
inc Lake, Cameron parish,
from which Mr. Haden also
has u licence to remove shell.
This shell is being removed
constantly and is being en-
ployed in road construction
in the vicinity of Port Ar
thur, Tex.
Inquiry Of both state and
federal highway departments
develops the fact that the
material has u distinct use as
u sub-base in roadbuilding in
the South Louisiana parishes,
particularly along the line of
the Southern Pacific railroad
and for roads following the
course of streams isolated
from any railroad.
"At current prices for this
and other road material, =
said Commissioner Alexan-
der, "for use as q sub base,
this shell will result in u ma
terial saving to these parishes,
which find great difficulty in
making funds available cover

terial.
"rhe available supply OF
gravel will be needed as u
wearing surface for Louisiana
roads, hence any other mate
rial suitable for a sub base
be utilized, whereby the re-
stricted gravel supply may be
conserved. Both state and
federal highway officials have
advised the use Of this shell
at Point au Fer Reef.
II asked Mr.. Haden why
he did not develop this reef
as is being done by him
with other similar Louisiana
material now being used on
Texas roads, whereby the
state would enjoy a substan.
tial addiUonal income from

velop this reef why his IL
cense for wing shell from
Sabine Lake should not be
revoked.

TIE day on which Hugh Rodney
was to start for Minneapolis
came all too quickly for the
engaged pair.
OF course, Hugh had spent his
last evening in New York at the
Courtney house. But he had also
promised to stop to say farewell TO
Doris on his way to the train the
following morning.
Doris paced the library restIessly
for a half-hour before her be-
trothed appeared. When at last she
saw the Rodney car draw up at the
curb she hurried TO the front door
before the caller could ring.

commanded
Hugh had only a few minutes in
which to say good-by. He took the
girl into his arms and kissed her
fervently.
"Do not cry. darling" he begged
as the tears camA to her eyes. "It
will not be very long before we will
be together se&in."
'.I fel as if 1 could not stand the
separation" Doris declared, cling
ing to him. "Oh, Hugh shall be
SO lenely,"
He was not accustomed to seeing
women cry, and IL unnerved him.
He thought suddenly Of Ruth. He
would feel easier IL she were with
Doris when he left. He would
rather leave his beloved with her
calm. self-controlled sister than
with her more emotional mother.
'RuthI" he called, stepping to the
foot of the stairs.
Ruth Courtney, passing through
the upper hall, heard his voice and
hurried down. She knew he would
not summon her at this 1uncturs
