A plan is being formulated by
Congressman Robt. F. Broussard
to bring together the police juries
of all the parishes affected by the
water lilies, for the purpose of
adopting plans to permanently
eradicate this menace to naviga-
ton in some of our streams. Mr..
Broussard in an enterview to the
Picayune a few days ago said:
During the waterways conven-
ton we will confer with Con-
gresham A. P. Pujo, of the
seventh and Congressman Robert
c. Wickliffe of the sixth district,
relative to the hyacinth cam
paign. The plan is to call a
meeting of police juries in all
parishes where navigation is
obstructed, probably to be held
at Lafayette, which is central
point about the middle of Nov
ember. My idea is to secure the
adoption of some Systematic
scheme, so that the government
money appropriated for this pur-
pose may be made permanently
effective.
In speaking of the proposed
micronesia canal Congressman
Broussard said: 81 am now con-
vinced that this great canal sys-
tenn will come direct to New Or
leans from Morgan City via
Houma. This means great deal
for New Orleans. The canal will
be nine feet deep and 100 feet
wide. It will be as fine a water
way as any in the State outside
of the Mississippi river. 1t will
be a shorter route from the Teche
and Vermilion than the railroad
offer"

Historic Militia Company

The Salem Light Infantry, which has just
turned into its 1O5th year, is among the older
of active militia organizations. 1t has sur
vived many companies that were It's rivals at the
date of its original formation, and It has q
most creditable record in peace and war. At
the time It first brought into being, in 1905,
this country had army small and so wide
" scattered that one might travel many days
without seeing a uniform. Europe was, however,
a great camp, and the non-military aspect of
the United States impressed Europeans and
Americans who had Travelled abroad. One sug-
gestion found in the history Of this veteran
company bespeaks the apprehension many Amer
leans presumably for the most part Of the trav-
eled class, felt when they noted how defenseless
we appeared. II was that members Of the com
many should make It p practice individually TO

of any lurking foreign spy that Salem was a
garrison town and that the garrison could not be
surprised In tie vista of 100 years back the rec

ceive the foreigner rises to remind us of how

TELLS WOMEN WHAT
WORK THEY CAN'T DO

CHICAG, Oct. 29.-"You can't be theo-
logians, because you haven't the power
of analysis; you can't be lawyers, because
you are devoid of the reasoning faculty;
you are not successful scientists, because
you can consider only one detail at a
time; you are only occasionally successful
in business and you succeed only in those
branches of medicine which call for the
exercise of the nursing instinct"
Federal Judge Peter S. Grosscup told
the women of the Ossili club, the women's
auxiliary of the Highland Park club, all
these things about women last night In
an address at the first meeting of the
club this season in the club house of the
mems organization. But he escaped the
vengeance that might otherwise have
been wrought upon him by telling the
women a lot of things they can do and
which they must do If this old world is to
roll along unchanged in the course
mapped out for 1t.
But" he said, IT wish to present an
analysis of women's work from my point
of view. The woman lawyer know who

of court when she threw a pitcher of
water at a judge who overruled her mo-
ton.
"Ill tell you what woman can do. The
feminine mind is the complement of the
masculine mind. With but one of them in
existence the world would soon become q
dreary place of existence, and, in a few
generations, its population would disap-
pear" ~

Lying Hurts the Liar
Memphis News-ScimItar.


IAN boys" an old philosopher says, ARE
born liars" '...I
Perhaps it is because lying is the diplomatic
refuge OF heIplessness. Inc instant we IearI
a prime instinct.
Morality, like knowledge, is not hereditary
but attained. The child must learn that lying II
a sin and a self-injury, just as 1t must learn
by being burnt to avoid the IRE.
Until this lesson is learned, the child, youth
man will continue to lie. Many never learn II
Perhaps ever learn 1t very thoroughly.
Lying comes not Of aggressive shrewdness, hui
Of cowardice and a shallow cunning that ID
often treaeherous and tricks the lie into trans
parency.
But it is not the danger of being found out
by others that is most TO be dreaded; far more
dreadful is II that the liar must know himself
to be liar.
His self-respect suffers; the leaven in him
loses strength and leaves him dead dough.
The cunning that leads to lying Is q rot that
must permeate the whole character and make
man ever uncertain Of himself.
1t distorts his perspective obscures bis vision
and warps his comprehension.
The habit Of Misrepresentation leads to miscon
ception; the Judgment becomes erratic as tins
tongue, and there results the man who actually
couldn't tell the truth II he wanted to-
Nothing else so shakes the confidence OF onS's
friends as known lying does; nothing so skaters
ones own self-confidence as does lying, whether
known to others not.
The cowardice that fathers lying increases
with the lie. Fear of detection joins with sell
contempt in making the liar a greater coward
than before. One lie calls for another In It's
defense, and. as the poet said, "Oh, what q
tangled web we weave when first We practice
to deceived"
The tangled web makes It all the harder fOI
the liar to succeed in even an honest undertake

required to overcome the impeachment, while the
truthful man easily outstrips him.

Find the Waist Line

1t seems a great pity that we cannot come to
some definite conclusion as to the shape OF the
female form divine. That fashion must be
allowed her way to a considerable extent all
will acknowledge but men. Men resent violent
aItrrat lions in the contours and silhouettes OF
their sisters and cousins, and ''dearer ones yet
than all others"
They do not like. for example, to find fluffy
haired maidens suddenly become sleek. They
very much resent a sudden alteration in tho
waist line; it disconcerts them to discover mark
ed anatomical changes in their womenkind, and
of late we have shown tendency to alter our
figures at least orce every season. .
This is decidedly bewildering. Surely there
ought to be a statute Of limitation as to the
position Of our waist. A dancing man who went
10 India four years ago would be distinctly puz'
zled on returning at this present time as to
how he should waltz with partner. 1t sounds
alarming, does 1t rotl
But consult the fashion plates and you VIII
see that waists either up very high or
down very low. Why not once and for all keep
to the old landmarks and make Nine. La Mode
