MANY PARISHES EMPLOY
WOMEN DEMONSTRATION

East Baton Rouge was the first
parish in Louisiana to employ a
woman agent in canning club and
home economics work for the en-
tire year. This was done last
fall. Since that time ten other

fayette, Lincoln, st. Tammany,
Sabine, Calcasieu, Webster, Tang

parish employs a man agent for
several months in the year to di-
rect the canning club work.
These agents are em2loyed
jointly by the local school boards
and the Junior Extension decision
of the Louisiana State University.
Their duties are to instruct the
women and girls in the rural com
munities in home economics, do
nestle arts and allied subj It's, by

CROWLEY GIRL FAIL IN

Of Miller Delhaye two years ago
her. will begin serving her at
torneys, it is said, prevailed upon
her to await the appeals being
taken in her case.
James Duval, the girls STEP
father who was convicted of MUIR
der without capital punishment,
has also lost in the higher courts,
and will begin his life term. The
verdict of guilty was returned
December 2, 1913, after sensa-
tional trial lasting two weeks.
The manslaughter findings against
Dora Murff, in view of the al
legged provocation for the shoot
ing. was universal surprise.
On October Is, two years ago,
Delhaye was shot down in a pub
lie thoroughfare Of Crowley. The
firing was done from buggy oc-
cupied by Duval and his step
daughter.
At the joint trial the following
month the girl tried to take the
blame for the killing, declaring
that it was she who fired the fatal
shots at her truant lover. The
prosecution succeeded in convinc-
ing the jury that Duval handled
the gun. 1t was generally be-
lieve5 at the time of the trial
that Duval did the shooting and
his stepdaughter manufactured
evidence in the belief that she
would 60 free.

RICHARD BENEFITS CO.
WORKERS IN DAM
AGED GOODS"

Eugene 'Brieux's great sociolog-
zeal drama, Damaged Goods, "
the play, which, according to the
New York Times, initiates a
new epoch of civilization" will
be given at the Elks Theatre, on
Monday, October 25th.
The story Of the play centers
in the disaster which befalls a
young man who marries in de-
fiance of the physicians warn
ing. The consequences are over
whelmingly tragic. His child is
born to a life Of suffering and
shame: the young wife's illusion
of a noble love is irretrievably de-
stroyed; the grandmother, crying
IN the bitterness of her grief
would offer up her soul as a sac
flee for the tainted offspring, but
all is useless.
From this climax Of tragis woe
the author builds his message of
hope for a future generation
which shall not be handicapped
by a conspiracy Of silence"
concerning the fundamental facts
of life. Speaking through the
physician of the play, Brieux
pleads not only for health GER
tificate with every marriage IL
cense, but he urges clear under
standing Of the mysteries of ma
ture for the rising generation, the
generation which is to be armed
with knowledge to combat the
evils which afiict the orld today.
Damaged Goods" carries a
lesson Of such tremendous power
and convincing logic, such vivid
truth and inevitability that it
fairly sears from the soul all
sham and hypocrisy.
But with all it's power and it's
preaching, the play does not over
whelm one with gloom as does
Ibsen's Ghosts" for example.
Brieux is essentially an optimist,
and although he points out the
evils Of life, he goes further and
tells us how to correct them.

VALESXA SURATT, STAR OF
"TH2 SOUL OF BROAD
WAY"

Valeska Suratt, the most dis
cussed woman of the stage or
screen, is, as is known to theatre
goers the country over, the fash
ion-plate of the dramatic profes-
sion. Her gowns have made mil
lions gasp by their beauty and
daring as well as by their daz-
zling lavishness of design. In
making her screen debut in "The
Soul Of Broadway" the latest Of
the great William Fox photodra-
mas, Miss Suratt has outdone all
her previous efforts in gowns and
millinery, fashioned by famous
modistes.
In all she wears $50 gowns,
some daringly and uniquely sim
pie; Others that are calculated to
AXE the feminine portion
spectators break into astonished
exclamations when they see them.
1t is estimated that in the course
of "The Soul Of Broadway" Miss
Suratt changes her garments with
every forty feet Of film. MANY
of them are designed to match
the "sets" Of "The Soul Of Broad
way" which latter in themselves
are quite unlike anything yet seen
in a motion picture, and were
especially designed for William
Fox by celebrated artist of the
ultramodern school. This picture
will be shown at the Elks Theatre.
