WORK PROGRESSING
ON LANDING FIELD
Excavation and Grading Is About 65
Per Cent compIete-Gettina Clay
Cheap.

There are several items OF interest to
tions report from the Naval Air. tSation,
which was sent out yesterday Perhaps
the most important of these is the prog
resS that is being made on the land plane
field. and the awarding of the contract
for the building of a bridge across Bayou
Grande. The excerpts from the report
are as follows:
The excavation and grading of the
land plane field is approximately Go per
cent complete, and is progressing salts
factori1y. The contract for 5000 (mors
or less) cubic yards of clay surfacing
material was let at S1.15 per cubic yard,
which is considered extremely reasonable
inasmuch as the next high bidder Of
fered this material at 1925 per cubic
yard. These prices include delivery to
the station. 1t is an ticipated that this
material will arrive, commencing April
II, at the rate of approximately 200 cubic
yards Ter day, and will be distributed
upon the portion of the field which IS
now graded and level. Twenty-Five teams
are now employed in grading operations
upon this project, and six additional
teams will be employed beginning April
II.
Contract for the construction OF timber
bridge over Bayou Grade was awarded to
Dullut & Williams company of New Or
leans, on March 3. The original design
Of this structure involved the use of
non-creosoted stringers and a single
wearing deck at right angles to the line
of traffic. The original bid of Doullut
&, Williams company was $32.275.70. The
estimated cost Of this structure Ivy the
bureau of yards and docks was $4,000.
At the resquest of the bureau the con-
tractor submitted a bid covering the Gre
soting of the stringers and the substitu-
ton of a double floor consisting of a
sub floor of 3x12's creosoted, and wear
ing surface 2 inches in thickness laid at
As degrees to the line of traffic. 1t is
anticipated that the changes involved
will increase the life Of the bridge to a
considerable extent These chances re-
quired an increase in the value of the
construction of approximately 1924. The
exact cost of these changes will be de-
termined by a board, in accordance with
the terms of the contract. The date OF
completion within the allowed time OF
1:10 days is July 25th.

WRECK OF EUROPE

As premier of Italy in 1919 and 1920.
francesca Nitii barely missed the forma.
tion-activiiies of the Treaty Of Versailles.
On assuming office. after the fall of the
Orlando government. the new premier
was confronted with the completed docu.
ment: and. as he relates in his book.
The Wreck Of Europe lBobbs- Merrill,
rejection being the only alternative. Nit
ii. despite his wholehearied dislike for
the treaty, was forced to approve il. Of
ficially at least. and later put his sigma
ture to the ratification.
However. the United States Senate
came to the rescue. and by refusing 10
ratify the treaty and the League of Ma
tions. broke the spell, and opposed the
dikes TO a flood of League sad-,reaiy
condemnation and remuneration. First
and ablest of these was John Maynard
Keynes, whose Economic Consequence
of the Peace is now no less famous than
the treaty itself. The name Of the resi-
is legion.
But Nitti, due TO his official standing
as well as TO the very able presentation
Of his views. has doubtless done as much
harmon good. according TO ones own
ideas on the vexing subject-as Keynes
himself Like Keynes, too. the book has
been translated into many languages. and
has met with universal respect, if rot
admiration.
There are a few outstanding facts
about the book worth mentioning. First,
unlike many others. Nitti does not de-
nouncc the war. or call it a mistake, or
what not. Second. and here too he de-
parts from most Of his fellow-critics, the
! former premier lays the responsibility
for the war on Germany, taking pains
however, TO put the load on the shoulders
of the military caste, or Junkers. rather
Than on the German people as whole
In denouncing the Treaty Of Ncrsail-
les, Nitii says some very unkind things
about France. However. he forsta'
criticism by pointing out that both VIII
son and LLOYD George took similar
stand against the extreme demands OF
France. being forced to acccde reluc-
family, point by point and not withcu;
protest.
Nitti's main contention in denouncins
the treaty is that it breeds new, and pct
haps more terrible wars; that it is I'M
Just and unenforccable-a blight on both
victor and vanquished.
incidentally. Niui does not mince
words in denouncing the various impe
realistic ventures on the part of his ma
tive Italy-the Libyan adventure, ano
that most INSCRIPTIONS attack on Tripod
with its attendant Turkish-ltalian war.
Nor does Niui satisfy himself wit,
purely destructive criticism. In the con
GLIDING chapter he urges a change from
the prevalent war mentality to desir'
for peace. Then, as a preliminary Il
lasting peace. he advocates the admis
sion of all ex-enemy states into tn

COMING OF THE FAIRIES

The most elaborate hoax ever played
upon the public or else revelation in
history. epOch-making in its character, is
presented in THE Coming of the Far
ries" UDoran) by Sir Arthur Conan
DOYLE. author of Sherlock Holmes and
advocate of spiritualism. Sir Conan
Doyle attempts to. prove the existence
upon this planet of a population as nu-
merous as the human race, invisible
miniature creatures which pursue their
own strange life in their own strange
way and which are separated from the
human race by some difference OF VI
bralions in light waves.
Sir Conan Doyle did not discover the
fairies himself. Two little girls living in
the north of England who often held
communion with the spirits are the ba-
sis for the authors argument. The book
is illustrated with pictures Of fairies and
gnomes taken by these two children.
Conan DOYLE is not the first TO intro
duce the possibility Of invisible creatures
with human form. Much Of ancient
mythology is based upon this same con
lecture. Both Shakcspeare's first play
Midsummer Nights Dream. and the
last play. ''The Tempest introduce elves
and gnomes into the theme OF the dram

Several years ago Hugh Walpole. Eng

But despite this. Hugh Walpole is now
in the United States. and on a lecture
tour, too. This is his second trip to
America. but he doesn't remember the
first. He was quite young then.
Mr.. Walpole was born in New Tea
land in 1884. He was educated in Eng
land and became school teacher. but
when his first novel, The Wooden
Horse was published in 1909. and met
with success, he quit teaching and took
up literature as a profession.
During the war he was connected with
