IN HONOR OF MRS. BRULAND
Mrs. C. G. Bronstad entertained a
number of friends most delightfully
on test Thursday afternoon from three
to five, complimentary to her sister,
ten. P. O. Bruland, of San Francisco,
California. After an hour of animated
conversation. Mrs. Bruland spoke to
She lkdies in her usual charming man-
ner, explaining the things that have
been accomplished and those in view
in the Lutheran congregation in San
Francisco of which Rev. Bruland is
pastor.
The guests were then invited into
the dining room and seated at the
tables, which were resplendent in their
festive array. Here delicious refresh-
ments of ice cream, rosette wafers,
stuffed dates and puch were served.
Educators of great prominence are
strong advocates of C. L A. .Several
times recently, such institutions as
the College of Industrial Arts have
been appointed out as the most likely
solution to the divorce court problem.
Educators and jurists are of the opin-
ion that if the young girls of Amer-
ica are sent to schools where they are
taught more of the things which
tend ter domestic happiness and less
of social aspirations, the divorce court
would see a greatly decreased patron-
age.

Hillsboro, Texas, April 12.—For-
merly the weakest place in the King
of Trails and Colorado to the Gulf
Highways, the Hill county section,
which received the most “cussing” be-
cause of mudholes, now is an area of
perfect roads.
No longer will there be any auto-
mobiles stuck as the tourists pass
through Hill county over these high-
ways, for there are no more mud-
holes. One enters Hill county on the
Colorado to the Gulf Highway at the
Johnson County line and passes thru
to the McLennan county line over a
hard surfaced road, so enticing that
the county has been forced to place
motorcycle policeman on the stretch.
Down the King of Trails, a hard
surfaced road at the Ellis county line
is struck and through Hill county to
the McLennan County line are per-
fect roads, with one exception, for
four miles, after leaving Ellis coun-
ty, where the rock is down on the
road and rolled, but the surface v
not yet down.
Hill county has tried hard to secure
good roads. More than $3,000,00 has
been voted for their construstion and
other districts are continuing to vote
them until now only a few sections of
the county are without a bond issue
for good roads. The roads reach
nearly every part of the county.
But no county has had quite so hard
a struggle to obtain good highways.
It developed that there had been graft
in the handling of the bond money.
An investigating grand jury filed
charges against some of the officials.
There were civil cuits and delays.
The State Highway Department came
in and offend to finish the roads, and
—king additional appropriations,
with the eevnty putting up its share,
and the resalt baa been a system of
good roads that every citizen in the
county has every reason to be proud
of. In the two highways mentioned
the road was straightened and the dis-
tance shortened, nine grade crossings
being eliminated. The only grade
crossings left sue two, which are with-
in the limits of incorporated towns,
where traffic regulations reduce the
danger to a minimum.

The rite of fire-walking in Tihiti
as practiced by the priests is explain-
ed as follows: The stones used are
basalt, of volcanic origan, porous and
nonconduetive. A stone heated red-
hot at one end remains comparative-
ly cool at the other. Because of this
fact the native priests and their aco-
lytes may with impunity walk over
the surface of the glowing rocks.
