Lucien Aysen, a fireman on the
Lafayette-New Orleans division fell
from the tender Of No. Tuesday
while the engine was taking water
at New Iberia and was badly hurt. He
slipped and fell head down, partly
breaking his fall with his hands. His
arms gave and he struck on his
head causing an injury that produced
paralysis of the arms and left leg. He
could speak, but had some difficulty
in articulating. He was brought here
and taken to the home of his aunt,
Mrs. Bourgeois, and later to the sani-
tarium. Dr. John Tolson met the
train and attended to him. DR.. Toll
son stated yesterday that there was
some improvement in his condition.

DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
Greatest Motion Picture Film Vet
Produced.

A wise man wrote long ago, "Of
the making Of books there is no end"
II he had lived in these days he
would doubtless have applied the
same remark to cinematograph films.
Just as there are classics in litera-
ture, so are there moving pictures
which tower over the heads Of their
fellows like giants in a crowd. Among
pictorial Titans must be included the
truly wonderful production "The Com
ing of Columbus which will be
shown at the Jefferson tomorrow,
Saturday night. This film took no less
than three years to make, at cost
Of over $4,000. For historical ac-
suracy and perfection of detail this
picture surpasses anything which had
yet been shown on screen, and
mere words fail to convey the reno
test idea of the laborious pains which
must have been expended by The Sc
lig Polyscope Company on this ex-
quisite production. We may note in
passing that the ships used were ex-
act replicas of those actually used
by Columbus, and were presented by
the Government of Spain to the Unit
ed States for the Columbus Exposi-
tion, and that even the original log
book of Columbus was used as a
property, whilst every costume worn
by the three hundred and fifty odd
actors employed in staging the film
was true copy of an actual dress of
the period. Can realism go farther?
We think not The time has long
since passed away when moving pic
lures were viewed merely pour passer
lie temps. The cinematograph is be-
coming from day to day increasingly
recognized as an educational factor
of the highest value. In "The Com
ing of Columbus this educational
value is especially an evidence. To
people of all ages, but particularly to
the young, these magnificent pictures
will bring home, as no other method
could possibly do, a series of histori-
cal events which for importance
have no parallel among the annals of
nations. We advise our readers not
to let the opportunity slip of seeing
one of the latest and greatest mar
vels of the twentieth century.

Working For Better Insurance Rates.

Working For Better Insurance Rates.
State Senator Fernand Mouton re-
turned to Baton Rouge Wednesday.
While here he was busy preparing
some data to aid him in his fight
against the State Rating Board and
also for pushing his bill for an in
vestigation of the Fire Prevention
Bureau, both of which institutions
have failed to give the people any re-
lief from the very high insurance
rates with which the state is sorely
afflicted. We trust that Senator
Mouton can succeed in effecting some
badly needed reform in this particu-
lar.
It should be q source of gratifica-
tion to the people of this senatorial
district to know that Mr.. Mouton has
been honored with appointment on
seven committees, which Is quite Z
distinction for q new member. The
committees are banks and banking.
health and quarantine. agriculture
and levees, finance, auditing, public
highways, shell road and old basia.
Mr.. Mouton is a hard worker and ho
says that he will do his best to take
care Of the interests Of the people
not alone in trying to get lower in
surance rates but in every other way
he can.
