Pity poor France! She has de

We are still wondering how busi

An Italian aviator flew a plane up
side down from St. Louis to Chicago
in three hours, six minutes and 39

Texa R has repudiated the 18th
Amendment, which its senior senator,
Morris Sheppard, wrote. Even the
senator's home town gave a majority
to the re»pealista. Texas was the
23rd State to vote "wet” with none
so far listed for the "drys," which
ghowg what a mighty change of senti
ment has come about in the past few
years on the prohibition question.
Even Billy Sunday, the noteu evange-
liat, who divided his time between
"preaching the gospel and preaching
prohibition" is now confining his
efforts to "preaching the gospel.”

wonders, rivaled only by the famous
Mammoth cave and Carlsbad caverns,
await adventurous explorers at Pitts
cave, throe miles northwest of here.
Situated on the Pitts' plantation. Its
contrasting natural beauty and leg
endary ' treachery provide awesome
thrills to visitors. A maze of winding
passages, “bottomless" pits, phantom-
like stalactites and ghostly vaulted
domes add to its mysteries.
Probable unexplored sections of the
cave include a lohg passage said to
extend under the Chlckasahay rlvefT
Tales of men. who entered the long
passageway never t$ return are told
by J. O. Pitts, grandson of the late
Dr. J. It. S. Pitts, the original owner.
Pitts delights in showing visitors
through the short route and relating
legends connected with the cave.
The entrance, on the side of a hill,
resembles somewhat the mouth of a
gaping prehistoric monster. A flight
of steps provided by Mother Nature
guides the visitor Into a vestibule
about 10 feet wide, approximately the
same height and extending back into
the hill 40 feet.
Forty-five minutes are required to
make the trip through the short route.
The explorer, after crawling, walking,
climbing natural stairs, and wedging
through narrow passages, finally will
exit into another vestibule, similar to
the one at the entrance.
Pitts said an Indian and his dog
once explored the long route. The
Indian returned but his dog was lost,
according loMie story. Returning In
to the cn\f in search of the animal,
the India/) never was seen again, but
the dog 'finally emerged with all the
hair gone from his body. The suppo
sition Is that the dog's hair was re
moved by some form of gas, which
probably killed the Indian.
Later, an uncle of the present Pitts
plantation owner equipped himself
with a muss of twine and candles, and
unwinding the twine, explored a por
tion of the long cave. Ills string sup
ply ran out when he had gone about
three miles and he returned with his

Less Than concrete i
Prove it? It’s been proved—by government
and state engineers who have been making im
partial road tests since 1917. They have mea
sured—in dollars and cents—what it costs to
drive on each type of road. They've proved
that it costs less to drive on concrete
than any other type of road.
That’s why “cheap” roads are really ex
pensive! For the real cost of a road is the cost
of building and maintenance Plus the cost of
using it. concrete roads save money. They
cost less to maintain. They lower the cost of
automobile operation. Insist on concrete
for economy, permanence and driving
comfort.
