caused much fun—for the spectators.
They were called on to sing but due
to embarrassment or lack of talent
they were slow to select a number
and Lion Rollins was called on to
help them with this part of the pro-
gram. Each was then given a bal-
loon, bottld of soda water and told to
blow the balloon until it burst and
then drink the soda water. A prize
was offered by the club for the win-
ner in this contest. The balloonr
must have been specially made for
this occasion as they had consider-
able trouble in bursting them. Don-
nell says he believes they gave him
an inner tube instead of a balloon.
A. C. Broad was easily the winner
and was giyen the award. He was
asked to open the prize, which was
announced to be a case of beer, but
when opened it was found that some
one had tampered with the package
and ladies’ wearing apparel had been
substituted.
The guests at the luncheon included:
Dr. J. W. Ellis, C. E. McClelland,
J. B. Bishop, R. D. Morgan, Fred
Wolf, F. C. Odelle, Walter R. Hum-
phrey and H. E. Stevenson.

BRIDGE CONTRACTOR
VISITS LAMPASAS

Dr. and Mrs. C. T. Harkey were
visitors last week in San Antonio
where they attended the annual home
.coming of the I'exas Chiropractic
college in the Plaza hotel. One of
the outstanding features of the pro-
gram was the explanation of light
anesthesia in a clinic demonstration
at which he examined many patients
using the new principle in several
cases. He placed different colored
lens which threw out a strong light
in front of the patient’s eyes. He
claims the light deadens the nerves
all over the body and has the same
effect as ether, except the patient is
not rendered unconscious.

C. M. Davis of Fort Worth was a
visitor in Lampasas over the week
end. He was awarded the contract
for the building of seven bridges on
Highway 66 in Lampasas County and
it will probably be only a short time
until actual work is started on them.
According to the contract, there are
only 160 working days allowed for
the completion of the work. It is
usually figured that there will be
twenty working days to the month
and it means that this work will be
completed in eight months.
All seven of the bridges were
awarded to Mr. Davis and they are
bridges at Burleson creek, Little
Lucy, Big Lucy, School creek, Pat-
terson creek, Sims creek and Lam-
pasas river.
We are informed that when this
work starts there will only be one
gap in Highway 66 that is not under
construction and that is in Comal
County.
Mr. and Mrs. P. A. LeCompte of
Adamsville are visiting in the home
of their son, James LeCompte.
