A man is always losing his illusions,
but not his faith. It is the nature OF
faith to grow and increase, for faith
is a higher knowledge-an advance
copy of what soon will be current
knowledge. Illusions are lost because
they are outside the man, but faith Is
inside, a personal, undetachable pos
session, says Dearborn Independent,
Faith is a sixth sense which appre-
hends invisible things that are yet to
be brought to the visible plane. Faith
is progressive because il is positive;
unfaith is negative, and therefore un'
productive. Faith is its own guaranty,
for while a man may have wrong illu'
sions, his faith cannot take root ex.
cept in the soil of truth. A man may
have many Illusions; he can have only
one faith.

BY this new invention the carriage
door automatically locks itself, and
cannot be opened when the train Is In

MONSTER DISPLAY

Be SEEN AT FAIR
Battle of the AztecS to BE re-
produced in ''Montezuma'
Spectacle.

One of the biggest sources OF en-
tertainment at the 1921 State Fair or
Louisiana, which will be held October
q to November 6, inclusive, VIII De
a series of spectacular fireworks dis
plays, in which will be featured the
mammoth pyrotechnic spectacle
"Montezuma."
The magnitude and splendor Of this
wonderful spectacle marks it as the
superior of all attractions Of this sort
To present it requires approximately
10000 square yards Of scenery, tons
of explosives and many thrilling ef'
fects and beautiful pageantry.
In the presentation of this gigan-
tic spectacle there is reproduction
of the Battle of the Aztecs, depicting
Cortez's historic cOnquests Of savage
tribes of ancient Mexico, with street
fighting and the overthrow of the sa'
cred temples. Another great feature
OF the exhibition is the burning OF
the historic capital Of the Aztecs, the
destruction of the last vestige of this
early American civilization. And still
another marvellous feature shows the
mighty Mt Popocatapetl bursting into
valcanic flames and sending a sea OF
lava over the ruins of the unfortunate
city.
The fireworks display, which will
be an attraction each evening in front
of the grand stand, promises to prove
one of the greatest attractions evel
seen in Shreveport. Every historical
detail will be correctly and magnifl
Gently portrayed in presenting Mon
tezuma,' according to the agreement
reached between the State Fair man

caped the effects Of the "wepara'lon
which all Paris has been undergoing
for the reception of the American Jour-
isr Il was decided some time ago
that the old method of hanging the
rictures according to their merits and
according to the lighting effect de-
sired was too haphazard and too prone
TO confuse the visitor who was un1a-
mjliar with the old works, their PERIOD
and school. Some one suggested
standardization" There was howl
from the French press, which shranK
from the thought of touching even a
picture cord in the famous gallery, but
the thought was advanced that If the
coming thousands of American visit
ors to Paris were to properly ENJOY
the pictures they should be properly
classified according to their period ana
school. This has been done, and now
one passes through the big rooms as
one might a department store. Here
are works Of the early italian paint
ers, here those Of the italian renals'
sance, there those of the early Elem
ish school and there the products OF
early Spanish genius. The Louvre
of course, is a sacred rite. Now It's q
rite simplifed, standardized and some
what stereotyped. Some pictures
which require strong light are almost
in the dark, and others which would
benefit by a somber surrounding SUI
fer a glare. The guide calls this q
"systeme American" Despite 1t the
Louvre remains a rare treat.-World
