GREEKS WAR ON BIG HATS.
Government Imposes Fine of $40 il
They're Worn in Theatres.

Even IN Athens, Greece, the war
against women's large hats is being
waged and the nuisance has reached
such a stage that the Government has
made it a misdemeanor for a woman
to wear a large hat in a theatre.
For doing this she is liable to a
fine of $40, which, it is stated in the
official decree, can be paid by the man
who accompanies her. if he SO wishes
NJ. Emmanuel Zimbrakakis, head of
the police department, is the author
oft the decree, and he says that men
who have paid their way to see a
play should be protected in that they
should see as well as hear what is
going on on the stage.
Thus hats of extraordinary dimen-
sions, covered with ornaments of flow
ers, birds, fruits and other artificial
decoration, shall not be permitted
In case a woman cannot or will not
pay her fne. she may be sent to
prison for the space of fifteen days.

"The Fastest Growing City Ii
Louisiana"
The recent bringing in of ,
monster gas well within the cor
poration limits of Shreveport ha.
given Secretary McC Colgin. of thu
Chamber of Commerce, a fresh
opportunity to exploit the attrac'
tions of the thriving Caddo me.
tropolis. He is making a wide
distribution of a Western Union
telegram to sustain the claim that
Shreveport is the fastest grow
ing city in Louisiana"
Here are some of the facts he
sets forth:
Ten factories. employing over
1900 men. established within the
past year.
Over $5,350,000 worth of new
building done, which for q city
with a population of 28,015 in
1910 is a record without an equal.
Population increase Is per cent
in ten years.
In same time assessments
grew from $5,000,0 900 to SIS, 600,
600 aud postofice receipts from
$4,000 to 1923, 900.
The Caddo oil field, just north
of the city, produced 5000 bar
rels in 1906. According to the
United States Geological Survey
it produced 10000, 600 barrels in
1911.
Shreveport is contiguous 70
the largest gas field in the world.
It has q we'll inside It's limits
with q capacity Of $4,000, 900 Gu
bic feet q day.
It's paving has increased with
such rapidity that it now haa
forty.two miles Of paved streets.
It has up-to-date commission
form Of government and an auto.
mobile fire department.
1t built . new railroad Last
year. Eleven lines Of eight rail
roads now enter the city.
1t is the largest city within 1e9
miles BY rail. It is doodproof.
It is 100 miles frou the nearest
food district Of this year.
The parish Of which it is the
seat Of government he's IN asses-
menf Of $23. .o00, 600, three times
that Of ten years ago, and il il
perhaps the only parish in the
United States without q cent Of
indebt btedness. Caddo is now
spending $3.50, 900 for new roads.
And for . climax Mr. McC Colgin
proudly says:
Shreveport is the home of Dr..
Oscar Dowling, whose work in
cleaning up the State has aroused
national attention. Naturally
with her ~ miles Of paved streets
and such a citizen, Shreveport
takes pride in being . Spotless

The Imperator.

III luIpcidtOc.
The recent launching at Ham
s burg of the new Hamburg
: American liner Imperator
vested with exceptional interes
5 by reason of the Titantic disaste
and the investigations which fol
, lowed it, on both sides of th
|, ocean. When the Titantic's los
| was confirmed, a great deal wa
| said and written in protes
against giant ships and the lux
uries provided for their passen
gers, at the expense, it was as
serted, of safety. The Impera
tor, it happens, is larger thai
the Titantic, and is to be quite a.
luxurious in its equipment anl
appointments. She is clever
feet longer than the Titantic, and
of heavier displacement by about
5000 tons. She is to have a mag.
nidcent swimming pool, a Ritz
Carlton restaurant, a rathskeller.
a stage, elegant suites" of apart.
ments with private verandas'--
all the Injuries, in a word that
were recently condemned so
widely on the ground that they
were provided at the expense of
safety.
But the German builders, prof
iting by the Titantic's loss and
the outcry which followed it, are
forestalling criticism, it appears,
by paying special regard for
safety. Lifeboats, swung out
ward and ready for launching at a
moments notice, will be provided
Of sufficient capacity to contain
all Of the passengers and mem
bers of the crew. There are to
be three wireless operators and
two first officers. Watertight
bulkheads will run both longitu-
dinally and traQsverselv, the en-
tire length of the vessel. The
dVnamos for illumination ..of the
vessel and for the wireless appa.
ratus will be installed above the
water line.
It is announced that the Ham
burg American line will build two
sister ships nearly identical in
size and tonnage with the Imper-
ator. In all three, safety is tc be
looked after as carefully as lug
ury. The lessons of the Titantic
will not be ignored. But it is
fairly evident that the Germans
at least refuse to draw from the
accident to the Titantic the con.
clusion that the ocean passenger
liners are grown too bulky and
unwieldy for safe navigation.
The biggest ships are yet to
come.

What About Our
Rural Schools.

Exclusive of the city of Ne,
Orleans, Seventy.fve per cent Q
the children of the State enrolIe
in any school at all attended ru
raj schools:
l. The buildings average les
than half as good;
2. The teachers are approx
mately only two-thirds as vel
qualified;
8. The furniture, apparatus
and equipment are hardly one
third as adequate:
4. The term is but three forth!
as long;
5, There is no time, equip
ment, or special ability among
teachers to instruct in industria
subjects most valuable to rura
children; and
8. One teacher attempts Cat.
tempts only) to teach four times
as much subject matter.
Besides, these schools are
handicapped by many other
things from which the town and
city schools are free.
Remember that these state.
ments are based upon the best
available statistics. and that the
conditions apply to three -fourths
of the children of Louisiana, with
the exception noted.
The future wealth and pros
peritv of this state depends upon
the development of our wonderful
agricultural and commercial pos
sibilities; these. in turn, depend
upon the increased intelligence
and training of our rural young
people. Prosperity Of country,
town and city alike depend upon
efficient rural education. These
are facts which we must admit.
The improvement of rural
schools requires more money
Items 1-2-3-4.6,) and upon their
reorganization (item g. We must
have better buildings, better
trained teachers, more and better
equipment, longer terms and in
dustrial work that will awaken
children to the undeyeloped re.
sourses about them. We must
have these things without waiting
until town and city schools get
everything they may need. We
must develop trained intelligence
in the field where it comes in
direct contact with the undevel.
oped wealth and potential pros
sperity which we may all enjoy.
1t is no longer . sentiment; It is
: business proposition.
Further, we must discontinue
= practice which no business
man or farmer would tolerate;
that Of permitting small rural
schools to attempt to teach the
entire curriculum for which the |
high school demands seven highly
trained teachers, laboratories,
and expensive equipment; we
must operate these schools on
business principles.
School authorities and country
PEOPLE are waking up from q long
painless sleep over these matters.
A stimulative fund Of one hun.
dfed thousand dollars distrib-I |
uted in q way to affect the organ
isation Of rural schools would
result in half q million dollars
worth Of improvement. Rural
people would gladly raise several
dollars themselves for every one
received from another source:I
perhaps no other expenditurel
would bring 50 great returns.
Do we believe rural schools
conditions are right because they
have existed thus for SO long?
