LOUISIANA HIGHWAYS.
Contracts Let and Much Travelled
Roads to Be Built First.

According to the report completed
by the Louisiana Highway Commis-
sion covering activities for the month
of October, contracts were let during
that month for the construction of
1882 miles of highway and surveys
completed for 1895 miles. A traffic
census is being taken to ascertain the
sections of gravel roads which must
first be converted to hardsurfaced
roads. It is said that while automo-
bile traffic is increasing rapidly, it is
found that the increase in the traffic
of trucks is far greater, and it is
recognized that many of the gravel
roads will have to be hardsurfaced
soon.
According to- the report the railroad
car situation has not improved For
a while it was possible to get all the
gravel needed along the Illinois Cen
tral road but the shortage has shown
itself there again.

JAPANESE BARRED.
Supreme Court Rules They Cannot
Become American Citizens.

In a decision rendered by the Su-
preme Court of the United States
few days ago, Japanese cannot be
naturalized in the United States and
cannot become citizens of this coun-
try. The decision was the first deliv-
cred by Justice Sutherland as g. men,
ber of the court and is the first con-
struction Of federal statues bearing
on the subject. The decree was rem
dered in a case brought by Takao
Ozawa, who in 1914 applied for cltl-
zenship in Hawaii.
The ruling is expected to attract
wide attention not only in the United
States but abroad, notwithstanding
the failure of the court to make any
reference to its diplomatic signif1i-
canoe. The case has been long pend
ing in the supreme curt and last
term, when reached for argument
during the conference of the limlta-
ton of armament and Far Eastern
questions, it's consideration was post
poned at the request of the Depart
ment of Justice. No reference IS to
be found in the decision to the gen
teman's agreement under which
Japanese immigration into the coun-
try has been regulated.

George S. Dougherty, originator of
the fngerprint system for detecting
criminals, and organizer of the New
York city detective bureau under
Mayor Gaynor, declared a few days
ago that "prohibition has done much
to increase crime throughout the
country. "Men who formerly were
somewhat given TO liquor have taken
up narcotics" he says. "These being
much stronger incite them to acts of
violence that before had been entire
ly foreign to their natures"

A Postponed Repentance.

There was a man out in Wisconsin
who went to a revival meeting and
was pressed to repent. He wavered
for time and finally arose and said:
Friends, want to repent and tell
how bad I have been but | dasn't do
it when the grand jury is in session"
"The Lord will forgive" the reviva-
list shouted. "Probably he WILL"
answered the sinner, "but He amt
on the grand jury."-Boston Trans

President Harding has issued a call
convening Congress in extraordinary
session on November 20. The pur-
pose of the extra session is to try to
put through a few of the so-caled
administration measures which fall
ed of passage at the last session, in
cluding the ship subsidy bill, the SOL
diers' bonus and the anti-lynchlng
law. Events might prove that for
the good that it will do to the Re-

better if the extra session had re-

REGULAR ARMY REDUCED.
Many Non-Commissione Officers Will
Lose Their Ratings.

Prior to January /, 1928, sixteen
hundred non-commissiened officers of
the regular army will be reduced to
the grade of private. Many of these
are men who have, through their own
efforts and in years Of service, reach
ed their present grades. After these
many years of faithful service the
National Defense Act of 1920 will,
unless amended, reducee these nom
commissioned officers to ranks held
by them many years ago.
A large percentage Of those reduced
are now connected with the National
Guard or acting as instructors in re-
serve officers training units in high
schools and colleges throughout the
United States.
These men are entitled to their
present rank and are justly entitled
to the increased pay of this rank.
Unless the National Defense Act Of
1920 is amended it will mean that
these cold timers will be reduced to
the ranks. Of course this demotion
will carry with it such loss of pay
and prestige as to make it impossible
for many of them to continue on the
work as now planned.
1t is understood that the Secretary
Of War will request Congress to
amend the National Defense Act.
These men can only retain their rat.
ings by such legislation.

BASIN THAT FIRES BULLETS
New and FriahtfuI Weapon Of War 10
Operated Without the Aid Of
Any Explosive.

Can you imagine gun which makes
neither noise nor smoke, uses no ex-
plosive, is worked entirely by petrol
engine, and can shoot 1900 rounds a
minute at ranges up to12 1000 yards2
Such weapon is being tested by the
British military authorities. 1t works
on the principle of centrifugal force
the same force that filings mud onto
your back when you are cycling on
wet day, or causes giant fly wheels
in factories to burst suddenly into
hundreds OF fragments, Anything
that is placed upon a revolving wheel
is carried to its edge and then hurled
off.
The new gun consists of a metal
basin in which are placed a quantity
of round steel bullets. AS the basin is
whirled at enormous speed by a petrol
motor the bullets are allowed to es-
cape from an opening In the disk.
Shutters are provided which prevent
the bullets from being thrown out ex-
cept at one point.
One feature of the gun is that 1t can
be regulated to meet the requirements
of the occasion Spin the magazine
rapidly and its missiles will crash
through an oaken plank mile away.
But let 1t revolye at low speed and
1t will pour out stream OF bullets
which stun, but do not kill, at even
such short range as 20 yards.
