NAVY YARDS TO HAVE
WORK NOW DONE BY
PRIVATE CONCERNS
Will Be Pensacola's
Speciality and New Orleans
Will Be Busy, Too.
BY PAUL WOOTON


Times rlcayune Staff Correspondent.
Washington, Oct. l5.-"We are going to
put the navy yards to work lhis came from
his announcement that the prices of NUM-
tions and supplies, through the demand from
Europe, have become prohibitive. Private
manufacturers not paying much attention
to the Navy Departments call for bids. When
they do bid their prices are higher than Sec
retary Daniels believes is necessary. Uncle
sam has made a good record in the manutac-
turing business, Mr.. Daniels asserts. lie
refers to the excellent work being done at
the New York navy yard, at Portsmouth, at
Philadelphia and in other government estab-
lishments 1t is known that the secretary
is much pleased with the showing made by
the New Orleans yard since its reopenng.
Does this policy have in contemplation
the expansion of the work at the New Or
leans navy yard?" Mr. Daniels was asked.
Not specifically" h. replied, and he re-
fused to speculate the possibilities OF the
amount of expanding that would De done al
the individual yards. =.
He made it very plain, however, that all
yards will increase in importance as a result
Of the new policy. Pensacola, he announced,
will undertake the manufacture OF aeroplanes.
The work will be on an experimental basis
at first but Mr. Daniels has no doubt that a
saving can be made over the prices that are
demanded by private manufacturers.
1t is the idea of Secretary Daniels to have
each yard specialist IN the manufacture oil
some portion of the supplies needed.
He indicated that he would be glad to re-
ceive suggestions as to the advantages pos
sessed by any individual yard for the manu-
facture of anything the navy needs. Norfolk
has been specializing on the manufacture of
mines Newport is turning out torpedoes and
Portsmouth is taking care of the manufacture
of the electrical equipment.
New Orleans was suggested as proper
place for the construction Of vessels, espec.
| tally where the greater part of the material
used is wood. Seeming trouble If he entered

ALG|ERS GETS FIVE
MILE PAVED
BOULEVARD
Will Be Brilliantly Lighted.
Plan Best Street in the City.

Algiers plans to have a fve-mile paved
boulevard, with ornamental neutral ground
and trolley system, stretching from the immi-
grafton station and naval station grounds
TO the "Cut-Oh' road to the southwark.
The leading business men of the west bank
section and numerous property-owners in New
Orleans met Commissioner of Public Property
f. +. Lafaye and City Engineer W. ]. Har-
dee, Thursday at o'clock in the immigration
station Offices and set the ball rolling for the
improvement.
The Agerians plan to extend the present
roadway, General Meyer avenue, through a
big section of undeveloped territory, widen
il at all points to 100 feet, and convert it into
the leading residential thoroughfare across
the river. All property owners along the pro-
posed extension, except one man IN st. LOUIS
who has not been communicated with, and
several negroes whose cabins are on the
rights of way needed, have agreed to donate
strips from their holdings to aid the project.
At the suggestion of Commissioner Lafaye
a committee composed of John II. Lewis, j. ].
Manson and Peter s. Lawton was selected TO
ask the Missouri owner for donation of a right
of way from his tract, and to agree on price
TO be paid the negroes for their shanties. With
these obstacles cleared away, all will be in
readiness for the grading and paving OF the
thoroughfare.
Commissioner Lafaye has approved all plans
for the improvement, and will proceed TO have
the necessary ordinances adopted
The avenue was named for the late General
Meyer who, as congressman from the First
district, got the original appropriations
through congress for the establishing of the
war plant in Algiers where now $50 men are
steadily employed.
The conference Thursday morning was at.
tended by Otto T. Maier, local manager Of
the Algiers Railway and Light Company;
Col T. L. Mayo, commissioner Of immigra-
ton; E. w. Burgis, general manager of the
New Orleans Southern and Grand Isle rail-
road; ]. r. Norman, owner OF the Aurora
plantation; NJ. S. Mahoney, ]. w. Lewis, w.

MAY BUILD CAR LINE
THROUGH HERO
DISTRICT
West New Orleans & River
side Southern Railway
Project Develops.

Plans to build an electric line through the
soon.to-be reclaimed area of the Jefferson
Plaquemines drainage district were given
strong impetus last week when the West New
Orleans Land Company took large block of
the stock and Meyer Eiseman was elected
director on the railway company. The char
ter of the latter company was ch 'nged and
its name and plans for right altered
The railway will be known hereafter as the
West New Orleans and Riverside Southern
Railway Company, Incorporated, and instead
of running its line down the front of the
property to be traversed the line will go back
, to the 20 arpent line taking the direction of
the Outfall canal after passing through Algiers
streets soon to be announced.
The line. will pass along the front blocks
of the West New Orleans tract, and when FIN
ished will greatly increase the value of the
tract as a whole It will also 60 through the
Riverside addition of Joseph A. Blythe and
other properties of that promoter, passing
through Aurora plantation. From Aurora plan
tation the right of-way of the line will cut
across the Hero tract, though once swampy
area, is now high and dry.
BELT LINE PROPOSED.
1t is the intention ultimately to extend this
railway so as to make loop of the entire
Hero tract returning to the foot of Canal
street via the rear of Gretna and McDonogh-
vile, and opening up a new territory to set
Element. This will tend to develop the $500
acres of the Hero district into thckly set
| tied territory of great value and bring about
| its rapid growth in population and wealth.

THE WEDDING RING. What is
the origin of the wedding ring7 Were
wedding rings always worn by
Women?-A Bride.
The story of the wedding ring isn't
a pleasant one because it leads us
back to those terrible days when
women were their husbands slaves
and were captured and carried off
with iron rings around their necks.
AS men became more civilized
they no longer put chains or rings
upon women, but they used instead a
symbol of the chain to indicate their
union with the woman they married.
This symbol is the gold wedding ring.
This at least is the tradition that
has been handed down to us about
the wedding ring by people who have
seriously studied the customs of early
peoples. The use of the wedding ring
is to be traced to pagan days.

The lynching of Leo Frank is dis
grace to the state OF Georgia Every
state has men within its borders, per
sons who when blinded by prejudice
and distorted by hate do not hesitate
to take the law into their own hands.
This spirit is more manifest in the
south than in the north as is proved
by the frequency of its manifestation
there, but it exists to a less alarming
degree even in New England. From
this distance it would look as ii the
penal authorities of Georgia were
largely responsible for this great
shame to the state of Georgia. APP
parently no attempt was made to pro-
tect Frank, even though it was well
known that a plan was on foot to
lynch Frank. OF course 1t is well
known in Marietta and vicinity who
were the chief participants in the
lynching of Frank. Any newspaper
man of few years experience knows
that their identity cannot be hidden.
1t remains to be seen whether
Georgia will lift the stain on Georgia
honor by furnishing these men. We
doubt its being done

is FOR TEAMS ALSO
Traffic Law Is Not Made For Motor
Cara Only.

Editor of The Banner: The ar
ticle published in a recent issue of
The Banner regarding the speeding of
automobiles and the enforcement of
the traffic rules, WIS so pointedly
aimed at motor cars and their driv.
ers that think many readers will
have failed to realize that such rules
as are made to control the traffic
must apply equally to all vehicles.
The attention of drivers 1of horse
drawn vehicles should be carefully at
tracted to these rules and the fact
that they apply to them as welt as to
motorists made very clear.
Observation indicates that except
in the one item Of speed, horse drawn
vehicles break the traffic rules ten
times to once that q motor car
breaks them TO offset the danger
to the public from the speeding OF
motor cars we have the constantly re
curing runaway team or horse. and
carriage. nearly always caused by the
horse or team having been left unat-
tended, which negligence on the part
of the driver is rs much of crime as
driving motor car little above
the speed limit and fraught with
much more danger to the public.
This is not a defense of reckless
driving of motor cars, as no one has
less sympathy with needless drivers
than the writer, but is an endeayor
to head off silly crusade against
motor car drivers that might result
in eighty-hve or so harmless, law
abiding, citizens being hauled into
court and fined for some insignificant
inffaction of the automobile law,
while law breaking OF sorts certainly
as bad and some much worse is going
on every day With no one giving it a
thought
The motor car has become such a
general utility and those using 1t con.
stiute so large and varied portion
Of the public, that it can not much
longer be used as The Goat" for
periodical crusades of the police de-
partment without anything resulting
but the motorist quietly paying up.
If these crusades resulted in the
experimenting and punishment of seri
Gus offenders among motor car driv-
ers instead of the fining OF a long
line of mostly reasonable drivers for
something like the failing to blow
the horn when the car was probably
rounding a corner at six miles per
hour with no one within $50 feet of
it, they might be worth while.
] would like to see our police force
who really are driving recklessly,
who drive past persons, particularly
children, at speed and without warn
ing. There is also an opportunity to |
see that all cars are properly regis |
tered with the secretary of state as |
an extra large number are usually |
operated here without proper regis
tration.
If our officers can do some real
work as outlined above, much credit
will be due them, but if they start
the old stunt of trying to see how
easy lot of money can be collected
by fining row of law abiding men
who happen to be driving motor cars
under law the last letter of which,
cannot be obeyed we have right to
be heartily ashamed of them.
Yours very truly

 BERLIN, March 2O-German rail. way cars returning from the front in Russia according to an order of the railway authorities, must now be placarded with the following inscrip- tion: Prom Russia-Epldemic Dan ger-Before reloading must be disin- fected." The regulation further pro- hibits the use of upholstered cars Tn Russian Poland so far as possible ow. ing to the difficulties of disinfecting them.
 The insect pest is described as a real danger to the German troops. for the parasites, as has been discovered. carry spotted fever from man to man. Not few German soldiers have sue cumbed to it there. Soldiers letters are accordingly appealing for insect powders and other protective prepara- tions; and the mails have been flooded with these that the postofflce has had to issue orders excluding all mercury preparations from the mails.
 
 Fortunately the soldiers are able to see the humorous side of the matter, as Is shown by the names that they have adopted for the different classes of insects. Some are called infantry" others cavalry" Still another name for the latter is the "black hussars." The Cologne Gazette soberly suggests that the soldiers adopt the practice Of the Arabs, that of keeping their heads shaven, "in order to leave no room for quartering foreign visitors"

TRYING ID TRICK
 ARMY SURGEONS

(By Associated Press Correspondencel
 PARIS, March 20-Five persons are under arrest here, charged with parti- cipation in a conspiracy to supply soldiers at the front with the means of tricking the army surgeons and get ting themselves sent home as no long CT fit for military service.
 Several days ago the postal authori- ties opened an envelope addressed to soldier, and found four packets of n graish powder, wrapped in a sheet of note paper which bore the following message: Dear husband-I have at last discovered a powder which will give you such palpitations of the heart that the surgeons will send you home" |"
 The police immediately arrested the writer of the note, and her confession resulted in the arrest of a gang of five, whom it is alleged, had been driving a lucrative trade in the sale of the traitor powder" to soldiers at the front Whether the powders were really efrlcacious is not stated by the police.
