DEMAND FOR SAFE ROADWAYS
Some Kind Of Protection Should Be
Provided to Keep Cars From
Skidding Off Dirt Roads.

What value do we place on a human
,Iife1 To judge by some Of the roads
over the country it is not much. Lives
are lost many times where q few dol
lars or a little extra time would make
q road safe enoHgh so that taking q
ride along them on a rainy day in an
auto would not be such a hair-raising
experience as is often the case now,
says a writer in Successful Farmer.
Recently a friend Of mine was driV-
ing along a road within half mile Of
q small town and ran into a ditch six
feet deep, upsetting his Ear and smash
ing things up generally, though he es-
capped unhurt, and had no one with
him. Many complaints had been made
about that road, but nothing was done
by anyone. On either side the ditch
came within less than two feet Of the
roadway, and there was not even a
ridge or anything to ward the wheels
of and keep them from sliding over.
When hundreds Of automobiles are
owned In every part Of the country
and it is impossible to always keep
of roads when they are slippery, it IL
not morally right and should not be
legally right to leave them in a cOndi-
ton that would make an accident un-
der ordinary conditions possible. Dur
5ng the last two years have been
riding around considerably and we
have been In places where it was very
dangerous driving, and often came up
on such places with no chance at all
to avoid them. In one case we crossed
q bridge after a light shower, and on
the far side found that it had caVed
away to within six inches Of the road,
though that was solid. For q rod the
ditch was not two feet from the road,
with nothing to check a slide into 1t.
"A very steep hill began just beyond
the bridge. Our car could not make
the hill, and we stalled, and had to
back some. The least bit Of skidding
would have been certain to have car

IRELAND STAGES COMEBACK

"SnOw" Breeland picked up an
other lap on his Comeback Sun
day, when he led the field in the mile
race at the st. MichePs Games in
the Crescent City. The redoubtable
"Snow" has been pounding the
cinder path pretty regular for the
past ten or eleven years, and is rated
one of the oldest runners, as far as
experience is concerned, in the entire
South. He lost his title as champion
of the Southern milers in the A. A.
U. meet in New Orleans several
weeks ago, and since his fellow ath-
letes have accused him of slipping"
he has been hammering the turf in
earnest.

TENT SHOW DRAWING
GOOD CROWDS EACH NIGHT

The O'Brien and LOOMS Stock
Company, who are playing a weeks
engagement under the auspices Of
the local post of the American Lee
gion, have been pleasing large audi
ences every night at their big tent,
situated on Pleasant Hill. This COM
pany is said to be the very best Of
tented attractions, carrying twenty
five Of the best artists seen in Boga-
lusa with an attraction of this kind.
Their ten-piece band is far above the
average and their dailv concerts on
the streets have been thoroughly en-
ioyed by the citizens of Bogalusa.
This company will present a big New
York success for its Friday night
feature, opal O. Nine" a four-act

yrled us over the bank and for several
minutes 1t looked like we were to go
down six or eight feet into a creek.
1t is not always that such places
are on unimportant roads. In fact the
first place mentioned was on a main
travelled road between county seats,
and automobiles used it on long dis
lance travel. In the main 1t was a fine
road well kept, but there were two or
three places that were really danger
Gus, though this was the worst Of all.
Wherever there is a place at the side
of q dirt road that has much travel,
that is deep enough to upset a car
that went down into it, some kind Of
protection should be made to keep cars
from slldding off. We are not cOnsld-
'ering the quick dash to one side from
careless driving or going too fast IN
mud, but the unavoidable skid that is
bound to occur now and then. Our
rroads should be safe In muddy weather
as far as we can make them for often
sat such times we have to use them
with our cars.

DR. HAVlLAND TALKS ON MENTAL DISEASES
Alienist Explains Various Types At Rotary Club
 Meeting Today.

Mental diseases and defects as a community problem" was the topic of discussion by pr. Floyd c. Havi- land. superintendent of the Connecti- cut State hospital of Middletown. at the noon day luncheon of the Rotary club at the Elks' grill today. Tn his talk MT. Haviland argued that little thought is given the matter by any one unless it is in their line of work. He said that everything depends upon the mental health of the com munity and everybody is affected, re- gardless of the personal contact.
 Why men act as they do is a con- dftion which comes from their men, tai conduct and efficiency. There is a big difference between mental diseases and mental defects. Mental disease Is departure from the gen. eral average in dealing with ones environment. One who is suffering from mental disease cannot be called insane. Insanity is the most ex- treme group of mental disease Even then, the insane person is the very same asthe abnormal person although

MURDER IN CHICAGO

Third in Three Days Occurs in 18th
 Ward, Where Political Workers Arc ! in Bloody Fcud.
 Chicago, March 10.-Another mur- der, the third in three days in the 18th ward, which recently was the scene of several bombings during a bitter aldermanic election campaign, was revealed to the police today when three men on their way to work found the body of a man under an elevated line track. Documents found in the mans clothing indicated that his name was W. willenstein and that at one time he had lived in Toledo, o. The mans face had been badly mutilated, apparently with club and two bullets had penetrated his body. A gold watch and chain on the body indicated robbery was not the motive of the staying, the police said.
 With a heavy force of police al- ready patrolling the district as a re- suit of two men being shot to death Tuesday, the discovery of the body this morning caused additional de- tails to be sent to the quarter with orders to shoot when in doubt and ask questions afterwards

 Court Room Crowded
 The courtroom which virtually had been empty until a few minutes be- fore the trial opened filled with 8 rush just before court convened and when the trial started every seat was filled and persons were lining the walls on all sides.
 Mrs. Jake L. Hamon was not in the courtroom.
 A new oil gusher brought in west of Ardmore created a division of interest. a half hour before the trial opened fewer than 50 persons being present in the courtroom.
 Counsel for both sides agreed that the length of the trial depended upon the tactics adopted in examining veniremen for jury service Both de- fense and state counsel said they would be content with handling the case on its merits as a murder case without "resorting to grandstanding." !" Speaking for the state, P. Freeling, attorney general of Oklahoma said an affort would be made to have the court rule that no evidence might be regarding the alleged rela- tions between Hamon and the de- fendant further back than 90 minutes before the shooting occurred, and in another statement William F. Mclean and Walter Scott of counsel for the defense expressed similar views.
