Editorial

Travelling over Orange Grove Hill
will soon become hazardous. This is the
road over when the pig trucks and trail
ers and other trucks haul sugar canes TO
the Factory. The narrow road cannot
ACCOMMODATE this traffic without great
risk to hun an life.
Just imagine the stream of horse. mule
and donkey carts driviRg on the wrong
side of the road When motorist toots
his horn the cartman looks behind and it
takes him few moments TO make up his
mind to haul mis- vehicle TO the other side
of the road If ne is smoking ne takes
few puffs at his pipe before pulling his
reins. He is met at o'clock at night
without light on his vehicle Through his
indifference 10 the traffic laws ne exposes
himself aud others TO danger.
Augment this condition by forcing
the increased and heavier traffic over
this narrow. winding road and the com.
munity will have to ask that all man.
slaughter cases arising out of accidents
on this road be dismissed by the court,
We hope this question VIII be viewed
with the seriousness it deserves and that
the Hermon Hill road will be opened fors
traffic 1t maySnot be possible to put on
the asphalt, but if the rocks are covered
the traffic can again be diverted over that
road and avoid an awkward and dan
gerous situation.

121,056 Given Jobs

HE extent to which highway work has aided
directly in providing employment is shown
by March figures which indicate that 121 ,O56
persons were employed on the roads, total
of 6.742 projects were advertised for bids, the
cost Of the whole program being estimated at
sa3s. .637, 900.
The road work, of course, has great indirect
benefit as well as providing employment on the
highways themselves. There is the employ
ment required to produce the cement, the rein-
forcement, the transportation of supplies, the
production of tools used in the work, the rais-
ing and manufacturing of cotton protectors to
cover the roads while they are curing, and many
other kindred requirements of carrying on the

However, in couple of days went

Old Bill appointed himself custodian of
the leases, which were to go in escrow
into Livingston bank until I got my

down the leases by paying for each at
the rate OF 81 an acre. When Old Bill

signed it, all right; but his wife being
dead, had to get the two sons to sign,
also. Then the hitch-the two sons re-
fused to scratch a line. I was dunn

Old Bill would only say, Il done m part
I'll a-talk to 'em there boys and Ill

I pleaded with him as I had never
pleaded before. I even agreed-in a
rash naoment-to pay Old Bill $40 an
acre just to complete my plans. His land
was too centrally located for me to 60

missed pumps and suction pipes and
sank into the soft mud without suffering
injury. The gasser, estimated at 100,-
100000 cubic feet of gas daily, under
5000 pounds pressure, caught fire and
a volcano of flames leaped 300 feet into
the air. 1t looked for a time as if the
whole thicket was to be consumed.
Luckily the clearing was unusually
large around the well site and, with no
wind, most of the flames shot straight
up. Expert fire fighters arrived hur-
riedly and wedged their way as near as
possible to the blaze under protection of
Sheet-iron screens, which were sprayed
with water. For three days and nights
the inferno belched forth. Finally the
fighters were successful in setting off
huge charges of nitroglycerin stimuli

constructed. Derrick equipment fell into
the ground and out of sight. Geyser-

stumped all production men in its six
months and more of uncontrolled flow.
So far more than 81 100000 worth of oil
has gushed out.
So, today, instead of being just a place
of squatters and saw mills, abounding
in game and birds, the Big Thicket is
teeming with oil wells, boilers and drill
stems. With this change of scenery the
charm has changed. Airplanes fly the
skies photographing every oil lease, every
road, every cotton patch, every derrick,
every oil-storage tank Woe to the
squatter who hasn't clean title to his
land. Pipe lines, oil-field workers, drill

One squatter who sold his lease for
$500 in the early days recently let a
part interest in his royalty rights go for
$1,000 cash. He moved his family to
town, bought a good automobile, bought
his wife silk stockings and fancy dresses
and his boys store clothes. All of them
and eat in restaurants.

ASTROLOGY OLD
AS THE WORLD

The beginning Of astrology &C.
Cured long time ago-so long ago
that it was before any recorded his
tory. Every period of mans exist
ence on this planet in his present
form has included knowledge of
planetary Influences. The historian
Josephus, who lived in the First
century, tells us astrology was
known and used by a former race
that lived on the earth before the
food, stating that "they received
their information concerning the
zodiac and planets from Adam. who
in turn had been taught by God
Himself"
Josephus also said the food had
been foreseen by Seth, who engraved
his prediction on two pillars Of
stone. The historian added that he
himself had seen the remains Of
those pillars. He further stated
that Noah used and taught the sci
ence of astrology, and, with Enos,
preserved it to the days of Abraham.
Abraham, we learn from other
sources (chief1y the works of Bishop
Eusebius, one of the most learned
and just men Of the Fourth century,,
was a great adept, or even a mas
ter, of Chaldean astrology.
The astrology of the Chaldeans
was Of secret nature, concealed
by everything along the gamut from
reverse symbols to an unfathomable
code known as 1.-THE Priests Alpha

recorded, abbreviated, and mixed up.
Years of study were required merely
to learn this alphabet, we are told,

at last read the words had practi-
cally to learn another language to
find out what they meant.

SELECTION OF POWDER

+ AM not a stickler for statistics, but
1 am quite sure that every day
some young lady somewhere is expe-
riencing the thrill Of dabbing her nose
with powder for the first time.
Mothers should help their young
daughters in the selection of good
powder. They should prepare their
daughters for the problem of powder
and makeup, just as they do for the
problems Of life.
Today we are concerned with the
young girls first acquaintance with
powder. 1t should be very good pow
der. Her delicate loneliness deserves
the best, and it can only be preserved
with the best creams, lotions and cos
metics. No harsh, caustic materials
should touch her skin.
emphasize this particularly, not SO
much for the more modern of our
mothers who allow their young daugh-
tiers to use powder. They know the
requisites Of good powder and usu-
ally buy box for daughter or allow
her to use some of their own. But It
is surprising how many mothers, even
in this day and age, raise a firm ma
ternal hand and shake their heads neg
atively to daughters every plea for a
little powder. Somehow the supersti-
ton still exists that powder is harm
full. Bad powder is bad for the skin.
But a good quality powder, powder
L. ~ r1cfip or To-
contains only pure ingredients, pow
der that is of that just right texture
will never hurt the skin.
BY that just-right texture mean not
too heavy, for heavy powder may
clog the pores On the other hand, a
too fine powder does not stay on very
long. The slightest Whit Of wind will
blow it off. The perfect powder clings
without giving that obviously pow
dered look. 1t gives the skin deli
cate and lovely finish and tones down
shine. But it should not give the skin
a dull and dry as parchment look nor
should it take away that fresh devil
ness that Is so alluring character
istic Of the healthy young skins.
Remember these requisites. Remem-
Der that the shade Of powder must
blend with the individuals skin tone.
Remember to caution daughter that
her hands must be meticulously clean
and powder pun fresh and dainty
when powder is applied.
When you see little flaky patches
on chin and cheeks you may be sure
the skin they belong to Is the dry type.
This skin is usually clear, thin, trans
parent, not heavy, coarse or dull. It
is not an ugly skin. On the contrary
1t is delicate and lovely. But 1t shows
the tendency toward crowsfeet lines
and wrinkles sooner than any other
type. The dry skin is today's warning
Of tomorrow's wrinkles. The wise
woman will therefore give herself the
proverbial ounce of prevention.
