Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Maraist
went to New Orleans this week
with their little girl who is sick
and requires the treatment or ope-
ration of specialist.
We take the following from the
Baton Rouge dispatches to the Pr
cayune:
A rather amusing situation has
grown out of the efforts of the Pa
rish School Board to secure more
funds for the parish schools. The
Police Jury does not want to give
the schools the 3 mills authorized
and required by the act of the last
Legislature. District Attorney
Wax, who is the attorney for the
Police Jury, says that the law is
clearly unconstitutional, and that
the Police Jury does not have to
make the appropriation of 3 mills,
which advice the Police Jury will
probably follow. The School
Board then comes to the city for
it's additional funds. Attorney
Cross has advised that the Three
mill Tax Law is perfectly cOnsti-
tutional; that the Police Jury will
have to make the appropriation,
and that the city can't be placed
in the attitude of assuming that
the Police Jury will not follow out
a perfectly plain law. So the
School Board is wondering, be-
tween the two financial bodies,
where the increased funds are
coming from to run the school the
full nine months. The members
of the Board say that if the mo-
ney is not secured the term will
have to be reduced to seven months

HOW TO ADvERrIsE.

An unusually large number of men are volunteering for service in the united States navy, and of these an exceptional number are accepted be- cause fit. In consequence navy off, cials are in a serene and confident mood. This recalls a bit of history. Last year the bureau of navigation appropriated $50,000 for advertising Tor recruits and used the money iu monthlies, weeklies and dailies. This year, before deciding how to spend a similar amount, the bureau thought 1t best to analyze returns. It was found that recruits induced to enter the service by magazine advertise ments cost from $15 to s65 each and those from daily newspapers s3.S6 each. Therefore this years appro- priation was placed mainly with the dailies. and the results are beginning to appear.

FAREWELL DANCE.
Given by Holy Cross Students Last
 Night at SteeDIechasc

Night at Steeplechasc. Bridgeport. Sept 1.--About 15O oi the Holy Cross college students em' ployed at Steeplechase island and their friends enjoyed farewell dance in the ball room of the island last evening which was a most en' joyable affair. The ball room was attractively decorated under the di. rection of Paul Boyton, Jr, and the electrical effects created much ia. vorable comment both because of their originality of design and pret. ty arrangement. The effects were purple and white, the colors of the college.
 A novel feature during the evening was the moonlight dance. During one of the numbers the party noticed the electrical arrangement diminish in rays and at the same time the moon peeped in just below the cor nice work of the building and the orchestra struck up waltz. In few seconds the rays of the moon flooded the ball room with it's rays making it as light as day and the dancers enjoyed the novelty of going through two numbers by moonlight,
 The committee in charge of the affair comprised James F. McCabe. Edward V. Murphy, Neil Boyton. Francis Cont, Thomas J. Burke, Paul Boyton, Jr, and William A. Flanigan. The patronesses were Mrs Paul Royton, Mrs Fannie A. Nc Mahon and 3, Mrs Robert Weber Guests were present from New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. The mu- sic for the occasion was rendered by an orchestra of 10 pieces. The stu dents will leave the island within few days to resume their studies They made many friends during their visit to this city and many re- grets are heard over their depart- ure.

beach which ended abruptly at the
south, while northward ii rose in a
rocky cliff where countless sea fowl
screamed and wheeled above their

huge green rollers beating upon the
shore, and half a mile away on a spine
of rock lay the battered Afric, desert
