LUMBER TO Be SOLD
BY DEPARTMENT STORES

The Enterprise is just in receipt
of information from J. C. Valadie,
Engineer Of the Southern Pine AS.
ISOLATION, New Orleans. La, to the
effect that the Department stores Of
New Orleans have gone into a new
field and have taken up the selling
of lumber to their customers. The
idea of selling lumber in a Depart
ment Store while not entirely new
is an innovation in this section of
the country
Formerly, one would have to 90
to the retail lumber yard which is
usually on the out skirts oftown and
buy a piece of lumber, pay to have
it hauled and then perhaps have
more than he actually requires ow.
ing to the fact that the lumber
dealer does not care to sell anything
less than board of standard
length.
1t is now possible for the handy
man or the housewife to 60 to the
Department Store and buy short
pieces of good lumber varying two
to six to eight feet and in width
from two to twelve inches, have it
sent home and in a few minutes
can have the much needed shelf or
much desired -four box and have
no lumber left over to be wasted.
Judging by the interest which
oneof the window displays at.
tracted, there is no doubt that
this method will be profitable
and it will also have the effect of
creating larger demand for lum-
ber The fact that the city Depart
ment Store will handle lumber will
in no way interfere with the retail
lumber dealer, but will ten to
bring lumber and the handy man
closer together. and the result will
be that more lumber will be used
and that a market will be found for
a great many short pieces which
now usually goes to the scrap pile
or the lumber burner.
The sale Of short lengths of
Southern Yellow Pine in Depart
ment Stores is a trade extension
idea worked out by the Southern
Pine Association.
The lumber used in this particu.
lar case is the "Bogalusa Brand"
showing that New Orleans Depart.
ment stores know quality lumber.

REBELLIOUS IRELAND

History, according to its well known habit, has been repeating itself in Ireland. From the beginning of their history the Irish have been a rebel Hous people. Tn the early days the people fought the native kings and the kings fought each other. And they have been fighting ever since. A home without a mother, a war with out an Irishman-these are poor things, indeed.
 The latest uprising in Ireland is reminiscent, to some extent, of the greatest of Eibernian insurrections. It was on May 23, 1798, just 118 years ago next Tuesday, that that terrible rebellion exploded. The Irish. then as now, pinned their faith to the as- sistance of England's enemies, but France rendered her feeble aid. For months the Irish waged the unequal struggle, which was characterized by great brutality and bitter rancor on one part and sanguinary retaliation on the other. Before it was finally suppressed the uprising had cost 15O,- 900 Irish lives and 10000 English. Then Lord CornwalIis, Lord Lieu tenant, adopted a pacific policy, which had the desired effect. A bill of ann nesty was passed in 1799. and the country settled into an appearance of quiet.

He soon be- came prominent in the Irish societies which were agitating the question of Catholic emancipation" He was one one of the founders of the organiza- tion known as United Irishmen, and in 1795 he had to leave Ireland on account of his political activities. He went first to America, and then to France, where he was associated with the highest officers of the revolution. He besought a French invasion to help free Ireland, and was adjutant- general in Hoche's ill-starred expedi- ton against the Emerald Isle. It was
 in the latter part of 1796 that Hoche, one of the abIest of the French revo- Iutionary military leaders, sailed from Brest with a fleet carrying 18, 900 sol diers, who were to land on the Irish coast; but storms scattered his ves-

That George Grecza. of 280 Han cock avenue, whom he shot and killed in James Lengen's saloon 203 How ard avenue, Saturday, had for months been ''nagging'' him will be the de- fense of Michael Herman of SIP Wor- din avenue. Before Coroner John J. Phelan today Herman waived exam ination and asked that he be allowed to employ counsel before making any statement 70 the coroner. The latter hearing is resumed tomorrow morn ing at g o'clock, Herman will be rep resented by a lawyer.
 Both men have been employed in the hot mill of the American Tube & Stamping Co. Although Herman has steadfastly refused to make a statement since the shooting it is re- ported that Grecza has repeatedly ttjoked'' him about his age and the latter 'brooded over the jfbes until he reached a point where he prepared to resent Grecza's actions.
 At 1O:55 Saturday night Herman was sitting at a table in Lengen's saloon drinking a glass of beer and watching a game of cards. Greca Vargo of 186 Spruce street, shopmate of both men, told the coroner he saw Grecza come into the saloon and order a glass of beer. According to the wti- ness the victim then walked up to

 Grecza walked towards the bar and Herman went to a washroon. After ward the men stood at the bar Her man upbraided Grecza for addressing him lightly. According to the wit ness he called him vile names Then Grecza waved his hand and started to walk away. As he did Herman pro- duced a, 32 calibre Smith & Wesson revolver from his right hip pocket and shot Grecza once through the abdo- men. t
 Vargo rushed up behind Herman and pinioned him against a partition Lengen, the proprietor of the saloon, took away the revolver and Officers BagIey and Fred Schultz arrested Grecza was s2 and unmarried. He is wife and four children. The dead man was unmarried. The autopsy of Medical Examiner S.. M. Garlick dis closes that Crecza was suffering from an intestinal disorder caused by alco- hoIism. He also had 8 tubercular condition, all of which 1essened his chances for recovery after receiving so serious a. wound.
 A number of other witnesses in the saloon testified to the occurrence but none knew of the circumstances lead ing up to the shooting. Herman is held without bonds charged with. murder. He will have 8. hearing in the city court on May 27 if the coro-t ner's investigation is finished by that date.

sels and prevented their timely ar rival at Bantry Bay, and the expedi- ton came to nothing. After this fail ure one fought for a time in the French army, and then organized another expedition against Ireland. He was captured by the English, be- ing taken from one of the vessels of the little squadron, and imprisoned in Dublin, where he was tried and com demned to death for treason. He an- ticipated his death by cutting his throat in prison, Nov. 19, 1798. Tone was a Protestant, and had imbibed republican and revolutionary ideas from his associates in France. He hated the priests, but in Wexford, where the revolution of 1898 went farthest, the leaders were largely priests, who def1ed the counsel of Rome in thus acting.
 In inviting a foreign power to in- wade Ireland, one and Easement but followed a. precedent which had been established long before. Tacitus mentions an Irish prince who had been driven out of the country by his own people, and who solicited Agri- ella to invade Erin, assuring him that a single legion would be sufficient to conquer the entire island.
 The people of Ireland were almost constantly embroi1ed in local wars and instructions until the eighth century, when the island was invaded by the Danes and Norwegians, who were known as Estlanders. They built Dublin and several other cities, and erected solid buildings, the dwellings of the natives having hith- erto been huts of sod. For two cen turies the greater part of Ireland was in the hands of the invaders, and the natives were treated with great se- verity It was not until the early part of the eleventh century that Brian Boru, King of Munster, drove the Danes from his territory, and launched successful rebellion against the invaders. The brave Brian was crowned King. of Ireland at Tara, and ere long expelled the Danes from the island. The jealous King of Lein- ster was rendered peevish by Brian's ascendancy, and he urged the Danes to return and free Ireland" from the yoke of Brian. They accepted the in vitation, but at Clontarf they were decisiveIy defeated by the army led by Brian, who was killed in his tent by part of the flying enemy.

found themselves sorely afflicted with ennuiI and resumed their old quar- rels. The country was split up into five kingdoms and several petty prin- cipalities, and the wars were waged quite merrtly. In the middle of the twelfth centu-y the supremacy of the See of Rome was acknowledged by the Irish clergy. and a few years later Pope Adrian ". conferred the sov- ereignty of the island on Henry II. of England, upon payment of the tri- bute of Peters pence to the court of Rome.
 Another invitation to invade Ire land was extended in 1169 by Dermot McMurrough, the King of Le1nster- King Dermot had been pretty much of a tyrant, and his subjects had sep arted him from his throne and sent him out of the country. The deposed monarch appealed to King Henry who gave him permission to raise forces in England. King Dermot had a well-flled purse, and employed Robert F'itzstephen and Maurice F1tz- gerald to invade Ireland. Earl Rlch- ard de Clare, known in history as Strongbow, followed with another ex- petition, having been promised the hand of the Kings daughter, Eva. The country was overrun without diff ficulty. Henry II. invaded Ireland in person in 1171, and his son John was made lord-lieutenant, but tAe whole country was not subdued until 1219, when a charter of liberties was grant, ed to Ireland by King John.
 The next invasions of Ireland came in 1915, when Edward Bruce was crowned king, but he was defeated by the English and killed with 5000 of his Scots. Gradually the power Of England was extended over the whole island. During the reign of Henry VIII. occurred the insurrection Of Lord Thomas Fitzgerald, which ended in the total ruin of the powerful house of Kildare During Elizabeth's reign the country was agitated by civil wars. In 1641 the Irish Catho- lies, encouraged by the Pope, made war on the Scotch and English set tiers in Ulster, and no less than 10000 Protestants were killed Cromwell turned the tables and delivered the island to the license of his soldiery.

In the latter part of the seventeenth century the Catholics again took up arms in behalf of James IT., but they were defeated by William ofl Orange at the battle of the Boyne.
 The next great uprising of the Irish Catholics was that of 179s. After it's suppression, in 1901, the union of Great Britain and Ireland was effect ed. Another insurrection, headed by Robert Emmet, broke out in 1908. but was speedily suppressed. Then came the era of Daniel O'Conneu, and in 1929 the long sought of Catholic emancipation was passed. Then came the era of agitation for the repeal of the legislative union. In 1S4S the Irish again sought, the aid of France in a rebellion, but it came to nought, After the Fenian rebeIlions of the '6Os, Home Rule became the goal of Ireland's political leaders. Under the leadership of John Redmond this movement has achieved snccess, but on the eve of triumph the radical ele- ments of Ireland again hoisted the flag of rebellion.

Course in Foreign Trade To Be Opened
 Soon in New York

Dr. Edward E. Pratt, Chief of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Con- lmeroe of the United States Depart iment of Commerce, has just announ- ced a. course in foreign trade of which he is director, to be issued through the Business Training Corporation. of New York city.
 Associated with pr, Pratt in the preparation of the course are men prominent in American export activ- iities, including O. P. Austin, of the National City Bank of New York; E. N. Review; E. A. de1ma, President of the Battery Park National Bank of New York; Prof. Emory R. Johnson and Prof. G G. Huebner, of the Uni Iversity of Pennsylvania; Paul R.

Rich iards. of Bow'ring & Company; Henry | A. Talbot of R. F! Downing &, Co.,; Walter F. Wyman, of Carter's Ink Company, and a number of others,
 Today the nation is about 70 enter upon a period of vaster world com merce,'' says pr. Pratt in an introduce even unwi1lipgs we have been forced ito play an important role in interna- 1tiona1 economics. Suddenly and with out warning, the great European war has forced upon us the privilege and lobligation of supplying the wants of a large part of the world We are required to go into unfamiliar mar 4kets, and to supply there the goods formerly provided by the great in dustriaI and exporting nations of Eur tope. This is a place in world economy which believe we will not relinqufsh- he nj fod is become. If she has not already become, the great exporting nation of the world and an exporter not so much of raw materials and food supplies as of man ufactured and complicated industrial products which represent the highest stage in economic development"
 In pr. Pratt's opinion the problem of our foreign trade expansion is Largely one of meeting the demand for men trained to handle this business out the country have for months been complaining of a scarcity of men equipped to secure and handle foreign orders, and of the inadequscy of pres ent methods of training. pr. Pratts course is designed to meet this situa- tfon-
 It covers all phases of foreign trade the economics of world trade; our foreign markets; the functions and methods of professional export com
 mission houses and fOrwarders; the -organization and management of an export department selling in foreign fields; shipping and marine insurance; foreign credits and financing; the Recommendation of orders; and com mercia1 laws and legal procedure in foreign countries.
 Already a number of prominent concerns have encouraged their men to take up the study of the course. The course covers a six-month's per- iod, and is issued through the Business Training Corporation, with offices at 1855 Madison Avenue, New York. It is available either for Individual home study or for use in study groups formed within business organizations.
