SOUND ADVICE TO MEMBERS
OF CLASS or 1921

Herewith we published the address
delivered by Alex W. Swords tc the
graduating class of the ope:uusas
high school last Thursday night.
Mr.. Swords said:
Ladies and gentlemen: One Of the
young ladies has said something
about women suffrage Believing that
it is always, best to have good IN
derstanding in the beginning, ] want
YOU ladies to understand that if in
my talk should use the word man, or

well, for in using only the masculine
term. do SO on the theory that the
greater always includes the lesser. /
see that l have mixed my theories
and and now l must apologize, l am
lawyer and accustomed to speak in
legal terms. / had meant to say that
If | should use only the masculine
term, / meant also the feminine, on
the theory, from legal standpoint Of
construction that the male always
embraces the female.
They say that an honest confessions
is good for the soul. If this be true,
sthen l am going to do my soul good
tonight, and frankly confess to you
that while | am standing here before
you / am experiencing sinking feel
ing / greatly fear will yet stifle all
the speech had in me. have made
addresses OF this character in other
places, and regardless Of how ! felt
never before deemed it necessary to
apologize in advance for my short
comings. But l want % say that
when it comes to the home folks, it
is a different matter entirely, and
each and every speech before an Ope-
lousas audience has been harder for
me than the proceeding one. To me

just been dug for the foundation, and
the workman were than busily en-
gagged in driving piles to make more
firm the unsolid earth. was natural
" curious then, and especially to wit
ness this interesting process which
had never seen before, and so l stop
ed and watched them at work for an
hour or more The depth Of the pit
and the many hundreds Of piles al
ready sunk into the soft earth caus-
ed me no little wonder, but what sur
prised and arrested my attention most
was not the depth or the number of
piles, but the manifest care and pre-
cision with which these workmen
seemed to go about what appeared to
me to be so commonplace an under
taking
had to pass this building every
morning on my way to work, and l
must say that grew quite impatient
at the slow progress they seemed to
make. Weeks and months passed by
and they were still on the foundation,
and / had begun to doubt that the
building would ever be completed. FL
naily, however, the foundation was
finished and the frame work of the
supersEructure started. Less time
was taken in erecting the whole OF
the thirteen stories Of that building
than had been consumed in laying
its foundation, and in answer to my
question one Of the workman inform
ed me that the reason for it lay in
the fact that it was the most import
ant part of the building; that if the
foundation sank, or broke down, or
gave way under the great weight that
would be placed upon it, all of the
beautiful, artistic and useful structure
above would be hopelessly condemned
to destruction. He told me other in
teresting things for the correctness
of which can not vouch. He said that
the foundation Of the Grunewald ho-
tel cost equally as much as did its
twelve stories above, and that there
had been used under the Customs
House building three thousand bales
of cotton to make its foundation more
secure.
Now architects who plan skyscrap-
ers and contractors who build them
are men who know their business,
and long training and experience has
taught them that the foundation must
be made sound, regardless of cost in
time and money, if the building is
to stand the pressure of wind and
weather.
