Bio DRAINAGE Project.

A despatch from ThiDodaux to the
New Orleans Picayune, under date
Of Aug. Is, says:
The conference of planters from
Lafourche, Terrebonne and Assump-
ton parishes, held here recently, has
resulted in the police jury of this par,
ish, at a special meeting yesterday,
creating a large drainage district,
comprising 100000 acres, The police
jury adopted an ordinance which de-
scribes the territory incorporated in
the district in Lafourche, Assumption
and Terrebonne, as follows:
Beginning at a line on the west
ern end of the town OF Thibodaux,
back from Bayou Lafourche toward
Bayou Terrebonne until it reaches
Bayou Terrebonne, then following
the east bank of Bayou Terrebonne
to St. Bridget Catholic chapel, thence
following the northern end Of the
bayou to Files Causeway from Bayou
Terrebonne to Bayou Black, then
following the western edge of
Bayou Black from Files CauseWay
to point where Bayou de Large
formerly left Bayou Black, then fol-
lowing the right bank of Bayou de
Large to the Gulf of Mexico, follow
ing the gulf to a line between ranges
13 and Ia, thence back up to Lake
Verret, then along the eastern bor-
der Of Lake Verret to Cancienne Ca
nal, along the east bank Of Cancienne
Canal to Bayou Lafourche, along the
west bank of Bayou Lafourche to the
west end of the town of Thibodaux,
the starting point
The police jury appointed J. Van
Beary, nephew of Sheriff Beary, COM
missioner for Lafourche parish. The
two other parishes are to appoint a
commissioner each and the governor
is to appoint two. The five will con-
stitute the drainage commission.
"Terrebonne parish has already
adopted the ordinance and Assump-
ton is to adopt it this week. AS
soon as the three parishes have act
ed and the whole commission is ap-
pointed it will meet and devise
means to raise the necessary funds.
This is the outcome of drain
age proposition agitated by the
Houma Courier and the Thibodaux
CONNER It will be form
ed and created as a drainage dis
trict under Act 317 of 1910, as

Scouts Generally Accepted Theory.

According to DR.. Stephen W. Stat
ford, assistant house surgeon OF the
New Orleans Charity Hospital, there
is little, if any, foundation for the
theory that defects in children may
be the result of unpleasant impress
sions received by their mothers be-
fore birth.
Those who hold to this theory be-
lieve that if a prospective mother
is injured or sees another person in
jured, or looks at deformed or de-
fective persons, the Impression made
upon her mind will repeat itself in
some corresponding defect in her
child" said DR.. Stafford.
Doctors and other scientists are
now practically agreed there is no
foundation for this belief. Nature
has erected a barrier around the
mother which keeps out baleful i'm
pressions,
eve do not know what causes
birth-marks, but there is no reason
to suppose they are due to impress
sions the mother has received. Of
ten characteristic birth-mark is
transmitted from generation to gen
eration.'

Call for Suffrage Convention.

Miss Kate NJ Gordon, president Of
the Louisiana State Suffrage Asso-5
citation, has issued the following call
for a convention of that organization
lael Ie1a 6orIea Ms rlloVs..
I10sII::
a call is extended to all men and
women Of Louisiana who believe in
the immortal principle of self-govern-
ment, which principle is the corner
stone of our American form Of gov
ernments to assemble in convention,
in New Orleans. Nov. 10-11, 1913.
let us strive to make Louisiana
lead the southern states in according
full suffrage rights to her women,
and let us try. to achieve through
state action the granting of the in
evitable votes for women and
not wait until the force of public
opinion makes it mandatory through
an amendment to the constitution Of
the United States.
ssIn this great forward movement
now SO rapidly reaching its goal,
there is a sectional pride awakened
when it is learned that the first Vot-
ing privilege to women as human
beings and on democratic basis was
accorded by southern state, Ken
lucky, in 1888, to widows with
school children on school matters.
LET US therefore as Louisianians
and southerners assemble on the
dates herein mentioned and take
steps to bring the south in line in
this movement which has assumed
world proportions and not lag be-
hind all sections Of the United
States, when the initial movement
was a southern one.
let us strive to adopt as our
ideal as well as our slogan the
words of that constructive statesman
and southerner, Thomas Jefferson,
when he wrote, "A government is not
yet complete that withholds from it's
most enlightened women what it
freely gives to its most benighted
men. y
