two projects were launched, sim
liar conference having been held
last spring in the Office of the Cham
Der Of Commerce when a party of
Jefferson waterway boosters made
the trip to Shreveport via the pro-
posed route in a gasoline launch.
At the meeting the consolidation
Of the two projects was suggested,
the only change in plans being to
have that part of the waterway be-
tween Ferry Lake and Shreveport
reach the city via Twelve Mile Bay
on. the proposed drainage ditch
into Cross Bayou and Cross Bayou
to the city.
The Jefferson representatives ac-
ceded to the plan provided it would
not interfere with their navigation
scheme. The drainage ditch will
be approximately s miles long; &C.
cording to the present understand
ing this ditch is the point on which
the Jefferson enthusiasts are skep.
ticai. According to one of their
number the depth to which the
present plans specify it shall be
dredged Is not sufficient for navi.

The result Of the conference yes

at was for the purpose of get.
ting better acquainted with the de-
tails of both projects and to bring
the two parties together if possible,
on some middle ground so both
projects will be agreeable to both
interests, that | called the meet
ing" said Col. Beach upon his re-
turn from Mooringsport last night
"and this | think we have succeed
ed in doing; | cannot say just
what the result will be, nor can I
at this time outline any of the de-
tails of either project.
To the success of the two
schemes the consent of tho U. S.
government is necessary and be-
fore the proposition can be sub
mitted to the department under
whose supervision it comes it is es-
sential that all data, plans. fig
ures AID everything else be gath

Before | can do this | must be

morning were to that end. | think

when the proposition will be pre-
sented. 1t has been under consid-
Grafton and ha. been worked on

The Jefferson people maintain
the position that they are agreea
bile to the closing of Twelve Mile
Bayou as included in the drainage
plan. As long as it does not intor-
fere with their waterways project.
The supporters Of the drainage
plan are not opposed TO the water
ways project SO long as It
does not interfere with their plan
for reclamation and il is our bust
ness 10 bring them together on

The old tradition that woman's work was in the home, and only in the home, is dying, and dying with swiftness; i; slaughtered unmercifully by the mod ern industrial system which has suck ed away from the home all those in- dustries that once were carried on there-the pickling, the weaving, the baking, the brewing, the spinning. All these were once home trades at Which women of almost all ranks earned their daily bread; they may not, as housewives, have been actually paid for their toll in money-as matter of fact, do not imagine that they oft en were-but they certainly earned the keep, the board. lodging and al lowance dealt out to them by the hus- bands who were at the same time their employers.
