LABOR DAY AT GULfPORT.
Occasion Was Giyen Fpbiie Celebration.
Music From Bay St. Louis.

A press telegram from Gulfport says
Labor Day was generally celebrated in
that city. Public buildings and many
private businesses closed. A parade of
considerable length, gotten up by mer-
chants to advertise their special busi-
nesses, passed through the principal
streets, accompanied by the Fire De-
partment and two bands of music. The
latter part of the day was spent at For
est Park, where a public picnic was
given.
L. B. Capdepon and his splendid
band of musicians formed an integral
part of the success of the celebration,
participating in the parade. Their SER
vices had been contracted for some time
ago, in order to insure the music as a
certainty lest some other town would
have been first in closing the contract.
We note with a degree of pride that
Bay ST. Louis has figured conspicu-
ously of late in the furnishing of music
for out of town celebrations.

The federal census is one of those
things that had better be LETT undone
than not done correctly. 1t is the stock
taking of the nations wealth and popu-
lation. 1t is a business affair just as
certainly as the taking OF stock by any
private business house and 1t should be
done in the same business-like way. The
presidents order prohibiting the mixing
of politics in the taking of the census is
most welcome and if carried out as ii
should be will result in the most ac-
curate census ever obtained. If obeyed
it will lift the whole census taking from
the plane OF politics and place it on the
domain of business.

The Biloxi Herald says that VIM.
Johnson, the popular conductor on the
L. C n. coast tram, has again resumed
his duties, after spending a pleasant va
cation with his wife in the eastern cities
during the heated term. Mr. Johnson
for about thirty-five years has been a
conductor in the employ of the L. &; n.
service and is by many years the Oldest
conductor on the road. Always polite,
obliging and accommodating to the peo-
pie he meets every day in his position
as conductor, he numbers his friends by
thousands, and there IS probably no
conductor in the United States who has
attained a higher degree of popularity
and deseryedly so, than Mr.. johnson.

IN Exhibition of japanese Prints at
the LOuTre.

Paris, February 6.
The committee Of the Central Union OF Deco
rative Art has organized a highly interesting
exhibition of japanese prints and engravngs in
the Pavilion de Marsan in the Louvre. II is a

hundred numbers, and comes a revelation to

China II was not until 1920 that the earliest
specimens of japanese prints were made in
black lines by Moronobou. after the fashion of
the primitive Chinese Buddhist drawings The
Moronobou designs were subsequently enriched
by red or orange tints. applied after each proof
by the artists brush and finally the engraver
by means of successive blocks was enabled to
print his plates in various colors by direct
methods An interesting feature of the present
exhibition is a collection in chronological order
of the implements tools, blocks of cherry wood
inks colors and steel points used by the Japan
ese engravers of the seventeenth century.
For many years the japanese refused to con-
slider engravings as works of art They only
did so as a concession to European students
who discovered the remarkable qualities in the
Nippon prints, universally recognized. The
great classic schools of japanese painting worked
under rigid secular traditions. They drew their
subjects from court life and nature, making use

The art Of engraving soon became divided into
two distinct schoos-that OF the Tori and that
of the Okoumoura. Kiyonobou, founder or the
former school, portrayed theatrical scenes and
the gestures and play OF actors and courtesans

Hook for Cutting Cabin Cars.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has adopted a form of hook for
cutting the freight and cabin cars
apart while running and which will be
a part OF the cabin supplies. When
running into terminals it has been the
policy to run the cabin on the cabin
track without stopping the train. The
cutting loose of the cabin cars was
very often performed by the employees
putting their foot between the cars
cutting the air hose loose, which very
often resulted in accident
