WORK TO BE BEGUN
ON NEW ROOF GARDEN

When George Langridge was given
a crew of mechanics and told to put
the roof on the dry kiln, Monday, the
dreams Of a summer began TO trans
form into actuahty
All summer long the dancers swell
tered in a warm dance hall, until the
dream Of an open-air roof garden took
on the aspect Of a necessity. From the
stage of idealization. the thought pro-
cess passes on to INSTALLATION, and
now from vizualization, and realiza-
ton is in the hands Of Comrade Lam
gridge and his crew,
The floor Of the new roof garden
will be about 50 feet square, ard be-
sides being used for summer entertain-
ments, the roof will also cover some
Of the lighter industries Of the Colony.
Although some Of the lumber from
the old freight shed can be utilized
in the construction Of the new build
ing; much new material is also being
prepared at the Colony's saw mill.

COLONY SYRUP MAKERS

Cooking syrup is The busy job III
Llano this week.
The cane stalks are put through
roller mill, which squeezes the juice out
into barrels. The juice then flows BY
means Of pipes into a pan about / A fl.
long and three feet wide. with compart-
ments every six inches. In each com
partment is a pipe containing live
steam. The juice follows along the
compartments, flowing over the steam
pipes, until at the end Of the pan it
comes out syrup.
Before being drawn off each batch
is tested for density, ets.. 50 that the
whole product is practically uniform.
About $50 gallons can be made in
a day, and It will probably take about
ten days to complete the job this year.

Chance Discovery Has Led Antiquar-
ians to Believe They Are on
Eve of Rare Find.


A chance discovery of a piece OF
blue enamel, curiously marked, by H.
S. Gordon, a London mining engineer,
has turned a vacant plot, where gar
den truck was grown, into a treasure
trove. Today diggers are busy dig
ging and Sitting every bit of the
earth, believing that it is on the edge
of an old Roman cemetery, used cen
turies ago.
Digging into one part of it the men
say they can trace London's history
by strata to thousands Of years ago.
1t is estimated that London's level in
creased at the rate of one foot a cen
tury. Things appear to have been
thrown into the place, which must
have been a queer pit as though it
had been a place for refuses. Its rare
treasures are mostly broken bits Of
iewelry, china, glassware, etc. One ex-
quisitely carved ornament Of pure
gold, evidently part Of a golden col
lar was found, and is estimated to
have been made between 400 and 500
B. C.
Some of the most interesting OBJ
iects are broken pipes, q whole series
ascending through nearly four feet Of
soil, illustrating the pipes evolution
from the days of Queen Elizabeth,

THREE PERCENT TAX
DEFEATED IN HOUSE
Big OIL and Lumber Companies VIII
EemOve Natural Resources at Old
Tax Rate

By vote of S. to 50 the house re-
fused to concur in the severance tax in
crease amendment, raising it from two
and half to three per cent. This
means there will be no severance tax
legislation enacted at the present ses-
sion of the legislature, in all likelihood.
The three percent amendment received
the S. votes but lacked five of ma
jozity.
AS soon as the vote was announced
Representative Alexander of Rapides
sent up a resolution, directing the
speaker to appoint three members on
conference committee and to notify the
senate that these three members were
ready to meet three members of the
senate to see if some agreement be-
tween the two bodies cannot be reach
ed.
In the event no agreement is reach
ed, the deadlock will be complete and
no severance tax legislation will be pas
sed at this session. In this event the
present two per cent law will remain
in force.
Representative Charles Byrne was
the only one to send up an explanation
of his vote. He declared the entire
matter now had purely a political as
pect, and that the question was no
longer one of a small pecuniary re-
turn 10 few parishes, but whether the
shrine Of Governor Parker should be
torn down, and in its place there should
be erected an altar to Huey Long. In
this contingency, he voted against the
three per cent increase.

DOUBLE MURDER CASE
ARRESTS ATTENTION

The trial of Dave Brister, who, it it
alleged. murdered John Davis. and Or
to Wright, several weeks ago. his wea-
pom being an axe, was begun at the
Vernon Parish Court House last Mon
day, Hon. Mr.. Justice John H. Boone
presiding.
There has been very large attend
'ance, the court room being crowded
every day. All seats on the floor and
in the gallery were occupied, and in
the aisles men and women were stand
ing, following with bated breath the
sensational proceedings. The descrip-
ton of the scene of the horrible deed;
of the blood-spattered bodies Of the
victims; Of the bloody axe; and of the
evidence which led to the discovery of
the alleged perpetrator of the heinous
crime, all Of these details were eager
ly listened to by the big crowd which
even invaded the bench of the vener-
able jurist, who impartially interpreted
the laws and rules regulating the meth
i ods of proceedings.
There was large number of wines
ses, whose careful examination by
Counsellors S. |. Foster, W. w. Thomp-
son, E. c. Hardin, District Attorney
Hill, and others, occupied the sessions
of the first days of the trial. The
members of the jury retired several
times, to argue points of the alleged
facts submitted by the prosecution, anc
ably disputed by the lawyers of the de-
fense, who insisted that even the min.
utes of the coroners inquest permitted
serious doubt as 10 the guilt Of the de.
fendant, it being assumed that an al
ibi could be successfully proved.
The trial lasted all day yesterday, {
verdict not being reached when the
Democrat had to go to press.

INTOLERANCE OF RADICALS

The conviction that our ideas are
right and that the ideas Of those who
don't agree with us must therefore be
wrong, is, as we all know, a cause of
war. I've often wished that in our
schools there might be systematic train
ing, from day to day. m-emitting, to
impress young people with the differ
ence between What | Believe and
What is CT what may be"
We're encouraged to think its smart
and therefore creditabEe, to fight for
our opinions, as if they were the de-
crees Of the Almighty. But it isn't cred
table or smart at all. 1t isn't even
good tactics. 1t isn't the way to make
people agree with us.
Opinions are often injured in the
minds Of others by violence or asser-
ton. Who wants to agree with the ar
rogant and noisy fellow or with shat
conceited and narrow woman?
Haven't you ever noticed The differ
ence in the language used by arguers
when they state their own casep In
their references to the other side they
use right names or what they believe
to be right names. But what honeyed
language they have for their own sire,
what alluring flattery, what attractive
names

Land and Water Ship.

The hippopotamus is now rivaled by
an amphibious tank that travels equal.
" well by land and water. 1t is a
tank only in the sense that it origi-
mated in the fighting tanks of the war,
for it is, as a matter of fact, a pas
senger vehicle. When ashore, it trav-
els on endless tread wheels, and looks
like a notorious; when ahoat, it is
propelled and acts like a launch. It
is the invention Of a Frenchman, and
was recently tested, carrying six pas
sengers, in Marseilles, the great Medi-
terranean port. The French got
around the difficulty of giving it an
appropriate appellation by calling it
land and water ship.-Popular Me

curtai!ment of the immediate prepar-
ations for, war. The parade was unde
