Prince Connects Lake CaproIace
With Mediterranean.
Noted italian Engineer Uses so Tons

in Undertaking.

Rome.-Don Gelasio Caetani, d
brother Of Prince Caetani, the Ameri-
can trained engineer who laid the
mine which blew off the top of the
mountain Col di Lana during the war,
burying hundreds of Australian SOL
diers beneath it, has just dynamited a
canal into existence from Lake Capro-
lace to the Mediterranean sea.
The work was undertaken by direc-
tion of the prince, also known as the
duke of Sermoneta, head of the
Roman Campagna and Terracna, a
region which the prince has labored
for years to reclaim. On the seashore
of this strange volcanic region there
are three lakes or lagOons, called Fog
liano, MOnaci and Caprolace. COM
municating with each other, into which
at high tide all kinds of fish find their
way, remaining there to breed and
fatten for the Roman market, to which
every day some ten to forty hundred
weight are shipped.
Only one, that of Fogliano, is d.
rectly connected with the sea, and in
order to unite that Of Caprolace with
the neighboring Mediterranean, and to
greatly increase the yield of fish,
Prince Caetani decided to explode a
series Of mines so rs to form a canal
between this lake and the sea.
The undertaking took fifty tons of
explosives and 1,20O large bombs, or
five times as much as was required
to destroy the mountain top. 1t was
successful. opening Il channel to the

here is his own emphatic assertion
on the subject.
"Just because an actor fits into
the hero parts of a picture and is
successful in Them" says Eugene
O'Brien, "that is no reason for jump
ing to the conclusion that he goes
incoming through all his nights and
Misunderstanding through all his days.
In reality, the two things l long for
most in real life are good fIap-jacks
and good friends"
While some screen celebrities
might enjoy the sensation of being
lionized, this is decidedly not the
case with O'Brien. This Selznick
star is and wants 20 be known as a
plain mortal with his feet planted
firmly on solid ground.
Although he has been on the stage
since his graduation from the Uni

and on the screen, has in no wise
turned his head. He is the same
likeable c;lap, with a
f'rm handclasp and steady look in

Furthermore, he treats women in
the same open, above-bOard manner
as he treats men. The girl who can

Excess fines and cost
1913 over 1919 !-.-.-.-s3, 857. SO
From the above comparative state
ment it win be seen that there were
less than half as many cases docketed
in 1919 as in 1918, and less fines
and cost collected in the same year,
with less surplus of receipts over ex-
penditures over the preceding year.
Since the first of July, 1919, the
cases filed have appreciablv fallen
off, while during the first half of the
year the cases were rather on the in
crease over the preceding year.
There have been far less cases Of IL
legal retailing and drunkenness
since prohibition went into effect on
July / last. On the whole, and con-
sidering the conditions existing dur
ing the past year, there appears to
be comparatively little violations of
the state laws and city ordinances
within the City Of Bogalusa, and we
hope that these conditions viii con-

Pixies PEAK AERIAL
RACERS ENCOUNTER
MIDAIR HAILSTORM

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept.
6.-Crashing through a hailstorm at an
altitude of 1900 feet, Alexander Len
drum, Colorado Springs airplane pilot,
and G. b. Merrick, movie operator,
battled their way over the Pixies Peak
region in their race between Denver
and the summit of Pixies Peak. Pass
ing Palmer Lake the storm was en-
countered, with the stones falling so
thickly that the air was darkened.
Like a rain of bullets the hail dropped
on the plane rings or was again hurled
into space as the stones were splat-
tered into tiny particles by the pro-
peller blades. Lendrum did not at
tempt to fly around Pixies Peak sum-
nit, but did make a flight along the
race course, where pictures were taken.
The Martin Sweet plane that started
from Denver was forced to land at
Castle Rock and c.. l.. Bilheimer and
A. E. Humphreys in a Curtiss did not
fly toward the peak, but returned to
Denver after coming to Colorado
Springs. The weather was too severe
for flying or trying any stunts.
