MAYOR BEHRMAN SUFFERS
INJURY.

Mayor Martin Behrman is still con-
fined to his home suffering from a
sprained ankle, having received this
injury a few days ago in going to the
City Hall. 1t was thought at first
that the Mayor would be out in a few
days, but sprained ankles are very
deceiving, and it is very possible that
the Mayor may be laid up for several
weeks. On Monday night he attended
the banquet given in completion Of
the Golden Jubilee, having been taken
there in a large wheel chair.
The Mayor also made an address
On yesterday afternoon at the Bonner
Memorial Home, where he was taken
in an auto. The public appreciates
these efforts of the Mayor, which be-
come part of his official duty, at the
expense of his comfort and welfare.

AGED WATCHMAN ASSAULTED.

HOmaire Dupuy, a we'll known old
resident of Algiers, was the victim
of a brutal assault by two young ne
groes Monday afternoon on his place
on Verret canal, near the Jefferson
parish line. Dupuy, who is 50 years
old, is the keeper of a pasture. Sew
eral days ago he had occasion to
chase two negroes from the proper
", and it is believed that they re-
turned Monday and committed the
assault while the old man sat in a
chair on the gallery of his home. He
was struck with a blunt instrument
receiving blows about the right side
of the face that caused decorations
and bruises, which had to be dressed
at the charity hospital, to which in
stitution he was brought by the AL
giers police.
Dupuy lives alone, and there was
no one near to render him aid. He
had been rendered unconscious for a
short time by the blows, but, when
he recovered sufficiently to walk to
the Algiers drainage station, he got
word to the police. There is no clue
to the identity of the old mans as
sailants, but the police are endeavor-
ing to learn who they are.

NAVAL STATION NOTES.

Several job orders of work on the
Castine have been completed, and
work on the others is progressing in
Il manner entirely satisfactory to the
station authorities and officers of the
ship. The latter expected TO have a
rather inferior grade of work per-
formed Oh their vessel, due to the I'M
familiarity OF the mechanical force
with the class OF work necessary, but
if they expected to be able to regis
ter kick they have been greatly dis
appointed. 1t is thought that when
the Castine is ready for sea she will
be dressed in white instead of the war
color clothes she wore on her ar
rival.
Preparations are being made for
the examination to be held in the near
future for the positions of general
foreman and assistant foreman. The
last day of filing applications for
these positions was the Sth,. and those
received are in the hands of the ex-
aminer for reviewing and rating.
Though both of these positions pay
good salaries. it is thought that there
will not be over twenty-five to start
in.
Preliminary work in preparing for
the arrival of the Petrol has been
started. 1t is understood that the
work on this vessel will equal that on
the Castine. In addition to the Petrol,
the army dredge Benyaurd will go in
dock about July 1st, and repairs to
this boat will probably be done by the
station force.

FARMERS FROM BELGIUM
ARE WANTED IN SOUTH.
Colonies Established Already In Georgia
and North Carolina.

At an immigration conference In Sa-
vannah, Ca, one of the principal ques-
lions was that of methods of encour-
aging Belgian farmers to locate in
Georgia.
This is not the beginning of such
movement in Georgia nor in the south.
1t was started several months ago,
with the result that there are now sew
eral colonies of Belgian truck farmers
in southern Georgia. Similar move
ments have been started in other
states, notably in North Carolina
where there are one or two colonies of
BelgianS.
This demand for Belgians is due to
two causes-frst, the south entertains
a profound sympathy for the BelgianS
in the plight the war has brought upon
them; second, the great need of the
south is for farmers. capable of doing
intensified farming. to settle upon
waste tracts Of uncultivated farm
lands in Dixie.
There are now in. Georgia at least
two concrete propositions which will
be made to Belgians.
One is the settlement Of a tract OF
some LOO acres of farm land in
Lowndes county. Upon showing that
families desiring to settle on this land
are reliable people it is stated that all
financial arrangements will be made
for them. including transportation.
Part Of the land is wooded. and Bel
gians settling there will be paid for
clearing this land. There is COM
munity store, at which credit will be
extended to those filling lands On this
tract. Options will be given on these
lands at their present price. There is
a similar plan for settling large tract
of land in Jones county, near Macon.
where fifty farmhouses Lave already
been built.

The Summary Girl

A quiet resort of the summary sort
Is where I am longing to be.
Where girls with bright glances are seek
ing romances.
And cool woods would beckon to me,
Where roaming and boating and swim
ming and floating
Formally put out of curl,
And soft is the heart of the summary sort
OF summer resorty girl
I've tried every jolly and dangerous folly
The prodigal city affords;
I've toyed to safety with each variety
OF the bait served us on swords;
And none of it thrills me-with ennui 1t
fills me
And yet I'd get all in whirl
Could I ramble apart at some summer
resort
With summary sort of girl.
oh. dull may things grow at the garden or
show
And unspeakably dull at the club!
You may note streaks of gray, feel you're
getting passe,
And sigh you're no longer a cub,
But just take to the woods, run away
from your moods,
And you'll soon frisk about like g.
squirt
When a-strolling you start at a summer
resort
With a summary sort of girl

WORKERS OF AMERICA
GROWING MORE THRIFTY.
Savings Show a Marked Increase De-
spite Period Of Slack Times.

The building and loan associations OF
the United States increased their assets
a little more than $1OOOOO,000 in 1914,
marking a growth of S.73 per cent over
the previous year, according to the an
nual report Of III. +. Cellarius Of Gin
cinnati, secretary Of the United States
League Of Local Building and Loan AS
sOciations, made in San Francisco at
the twenty-third annual meeting.
Secretary Cellarius continued:
considering the fact that this period
included nearly six months Of the great
war In Europe, during which time there
also existed In this country an indus
trial depression more or less severe,
this showing speaks volumes for the
thrift and saving habits Of the wage
earning classes Of our citizens, who are
the chief patrons of these institutions.
'"The hard times apparently have
stimulated an enforced economy, have
required a reduction of unnecessary
expenses, which in times Of great pros
perity are usually on the increase, and
have brought home to the people the
necessity of conserving their resources.
las a result they are saving as much
or more in proportion than they did
during more prosperous periods.
There are in the United States 6,612
building and loan associations, with a
membership Of 3,103, 435 and assets ag-
gregating 1857, 34O,036 This is an in
