Misleading Advertisements

Often one comes scross mislead-
ing advertisements such as de
velop a body like mine in five easy
lessons" !" pick out five faces in the
picture and receive ten thousand
dollars" or sell ten boxes of do
do" salve and win these valuable
prizes" Many people are either
foolish enough to bite on these
things or they are very curious.
The sucker end of the deal is the
persons end who sends for such
things.
Usually the advertisements are
worded cunningly in order that
authorities cannot say anything
about it, for often magazines of
good standing viii not print fake
advertisements.
For the humor of the affair
many people send for such things
as these. It's being done, so send
for yours today.

Our Institutions

| Last Sunday afternoon, accom-
panied by two friends and our
president of the school board Mr..
Walter w. Hynson, went through
the State Welfare Home and our
| school. OF course the latter was
very familiar to me- I had also
been through the Home before, but
my friends had not, and / found it
even more interesting this last
time.
After going through these build
tings, 1 wondered if there were any
people of Smyrna who had not
been through them. Since we have
F., SO few public buildings, and the
/, ones we have are so outstanding,
the citizen should surely make it
his duty to make a tour of these.
During the tour of the Welfare
Home we realize with a start that
5. Smyrna really looks pretty from
that distance; and that our Lake
Como, which almost circles the
home, looks very picturesque. No
spot could be omre ideal for an in
stitution than this one.
The school too, is becoming more
and more outstanding, especially
since the building of cur new addi-
ton, which makes us all proud
that we go to Smyrna High School
So, let me urge you who have
not been through these buildings to
be sure to 60. It will not only be
performing a duty as a citizen, but
will prove to be a pleasure.

Mammal Lays Eggs.

aside from the echidna, the only
mammal that lays eggs is the queer
duck-billed platypus which lives In
the streams of Australia and Tas-
mania. 1t combines beaverlike fur
and habits with webbed feet and
bill similar to a ducks. and lays two
eggs. each three-fourths of an inch
long, encased in a flexible white
shell.
Game birds. which are frequent
ly preyed upon. rear large broods.
Some quails lay as many as thirty
eggs for a setting. However, quails
take a back seat compared to ma
rine creatures. which, because OF
their many enemies. must lay eggs
by the millions in order for the race
even to hold its own. A cod lays
about 100000 eggs. sturgeon
about 100000 a turbOt about H.
311.OOO: but so greatly are the
young preyed upon, that only
small proportion will survive to ma
turity.
Eggs vary as greatly as people
in color. size, and shape. Exception
to the rule that all domestic fowl
lay ovoid. white or brownish eggs,
is the Araucana. strange South
American fowl which LAYS blue
eggs. Eggs laid In holes or domed
nests are usually white. Colored
eggs, invisible in dim light. Womb
be in danger of being broken or
rolled out of reach. Although puffins
lay their colored eggs in holes, they
cover the shells with chalky IN
crustation which reflects light. Eggs
of many fishes floating at the sea
surface, In masses sometimes ~
feet long. are transparent. which
probably hinders their being de-
tected and eaten. The shells OF
kingfisher eggs are translucent

ALEXANDRIANS
PUSH WATER
PURCHASE

ALEXANDRIA, Oct. 2.-Acquisi'
ton Of the Alexandria water sys.
tenn by the municipal government
here took another step forward
last night as Mayor E. C. Dawson
announced the appointment of
three council members to serve on
the water committee along with
the city engineer, manager, attor-
new and the mayor.
Immediate procedure toward &C.
quiring the system to be operated
by the city will be taken. Mayor
Dawson said:
81 believe the people Of Alex.
andria can be given better SER
vice and lower rates through
municipal operation Of the water
system. Considering the recent
service given by the Alexandria
Water Company, present owners
and operators Of the system,
the time certainly appears ripe
for the city to take over this
work,
PLAN NEW MAINS
Foremost among the plans
Of the city, after acquisition Of
the plant, would be to lay ex-
tended mains adequate to elm
mate the present fire hazards
existing in parts Of Alexandria.
Extension of these mains would
also promote building programs
which have been retarded by
the lack of them.
Acquisition Of the system
would perhaps require con-
demnatiOn procedure, but, II
necessary, I believe the city
council is ready to proceed
along these lines. The city,
should it vote to acquire the
system, will simply make an
offer to the water company,
and In event this offer Is re-
fused will then proceed by the
condemnation method. Our
water committee will meet
within . few days"
Members Of the council ap-
pointed by the mayor to serve
on the committee were George
Bender, John Matter and Slater
Lamond.
