YOUNG CIVIL ENGINEER
BUILDS FLOATING ROAD
Conquers Shiny North Carolina
Swamp-Other Builders
Baked

ELIZABETH CITY, n. c., May 9
"A floating concrete road three
miles long Is nearing completion in
the vicinity of Sinking Gu. Creek,
near here. The floating road will
connect Elizabeth City and Cam
den Court House, in Pasquotapk
county.
For years and years the residents
Of the two towns have been crying
for ned road to replace the mud
covered log pathway between the
towns. The road must be over a
bottomless swamp. Some engineers
We're willing to try the job for a
fortune ;others asserted that it
couldn't be done.
But young George McNutt under
took the task. He also promised to
spend only 100000 in doing it. He
will keep both promises.
McNutt repaired the old log road
and began laying his concrete high.
way on top Of it. Skeptics first
smiled, then wondered, and now
praise the young engineer. The res
ldents of the county are loud in ac-
claiming him.
The only danger Of the road will
be to automobiles. If one of them
skids from the concrete, it is al
over. The car and any victims il
takes with it will sink into unmeas-
ured depths A strong wire fence
is to be erected along both sides
Of the road, however.

SUMTER COUNTY LEADS
EDUCATION IN GEORGIA

The late Georgia teachers con-
vention in Atlanta was the greatest
ever vet had. There were 1000
teachers in attendance 1t is a mat
ter of regret that only about five
were there from this county. 1t
was stated several times on the floor
of the house that Sumter county
had made more progress within the
last three years in education than
was ever made by any county in this
state before.
The state school commissioner de-
clared it his intention to strive to
put in rules that had been adopt
ed in Sumter that give such whole
some results all lover the state.
First, that only college graduates
be elected as teachers.
Second, that the superintendent
be required to teach every teacher
at least 40 minutes during each
week Of the year.
Third, that four examinations be
given each year by the county su-
perintendent to all the schools so as
to secure an even and co-ordinated
grading Of pupils.
Fourth, that there be two sessions
and seven hours Of school work each
day
These rules have put Sumter
county in the lead of other coun-
ties and have made her county
schools the equal of any ia the
United States.

OUR DISTRICT SCHOOLS

The Consolidated District schools
of Sumter county have this year put
on altogether nine months of teach
ing. Before the first day of June
all Of them will be closed for the
summer. The board of education is
no contemplating the idea of COM
mencing the terms for next year
with the first Monday in August in
stead of first Monday in September.
The reason is that Sumter county
being a purely agricultural county
the schools are thin in 51aH be-
cause of scarcity of cotton chop
pers-the farmers being greatly in
need of hands will stop their chill
dren to do farm work in May. This
is the busiest month of any because
cotton must be chopped and grain
harvested. By commencing in Au-
gust the schools could make Ehe
n.ne months and close early in April
each year. The school never before
have been so well attended as dur
ing the present year.

Wrinkles are deterioration. They
come from different and combined
causes. There are large loose
wrinkles and tight wrinkles; there
are wrinkles that seem . make the
skin gather in tight little punches
and there are light wrinkles that
seem to be traced on the surface Of
the skin The same basic princi-
pies Of treatment apply to all.
First cleanse the skin with cream.
Then press in a good stimulant that
will stir the tiny cells to life, then
massage in Il rich stimulating cream.
Excellent as | know massage to be,
so many women have the idea that

so many women have the idea that
the harder they rub the better they
are doing it. Just the reverse is the
case Take the cream in the palm Of
YOUR hand and with sustained and
gentle movements, slowly press it
in.
Avoid pulling or stretching any
part Of the skin. When you come
to your eyes take a little cream
warmed by your hand in your
finger tips and with the highest pos
sible touch apply it, following the
eye. During the day cleanse with
cream and apply little tonic, mild
er than the stimulant.
Be sure to protect your skin from
the weather, from heat AMI cold,
wind and sun, by applying a fouEFla-
ton cream and powder base be-
cause exposure to the weather dries

In massaging. work across the
line and in a rotary movement, and
ALWAYS stroke upward instead of
downward. Correct yourself Of the
Objectionable habit OF sqlirl.ng or

you to do so.

reading of memory telegrams by Mrs.
