Baton Rouge, La.-Steps have been
oil information obtainable concerning
the available supply Of roadbuildfng
material in Louisiana.
The purpose Of the governor in
assembling this information is to IA
cilitate the work Of the new high
way department and to enable the
Legislature to define the policy OF
the state in dealing with the ques-
tion of roadbuilding material
Facts and data sought by the gov
ernor will be in the nature of a sur
vey or inventory Of highway con-
struction supplies. 1t will take in
all classes Of material, such as gray
eli, rock and shells, as well as rock
and shale that will make cement
The survey will show the loca-
lions, quantity and quality Of the
materials and the proximity to rail
and water transportation.
"One of the important reasons for
assembling this information" Cover
nor Parker said, ''is that it will show
the proximity of material to the high
ways to be built and maintained.
When suitable material is available in
Q section where highway is to be
built. it Is good business and COM
mon sense to use material in that
locality, when it comes up to require
ments, instead of making a long haul
and nttin0 n froierht hor With
this information assembled in proper
form. the state will be in position
20 construct and maintain highways
1t minimum of cost"
The constitution authorizes the
state to appropriate property in or
der to secure material for roadbuild-
Ing purposes.
Information will be sought by the
governor from the different state de-
partments and subdivisions and from
citizens generally When the Legis-
lature assemblies, all facts obtained
BY the governor will be laid before
that body.
Fred j. Grace, register of the state
land office, said the state owns large
quantities of roadbuilding material,
consisting mainly of gravel and sand
within the banks and beds of streams
and bodies Of water. Under the con-
stitution the state is the sole owner
ct all this latter class of property
which can be leased, but not sold

JOY Breaks Hearts.

Hearts do break, according to o
noted heart specialist, but very seldom
of grief. He says he has seen an an
imal rupture its heart through joy,
the heart. What happens is that VIC
lent emotion causes a chemical sub
stance to be poured into the blood,
which stimulates the nerves Of the
heart. The blood vessels are con-
tracted and the heart has to pump
against a greatly increased resistance.
Emotion causes more cases OF heart
failure than hard work.

Summoned suddenly to Windsor to
show Queen Victoria his drawings, he
took with him by mistake those for the

her majesty, to whom he had handed
his portfolio, expressed herself highly
pleased.

design, nothing more was to be done.
