A STITCH IN TIME.

The wash gravel roads in Assem-
sion and Assumption parishes,
built less than two years, are be-
inc patched. This is not to the
discredit Of the gravel or the Off
cials of the parishes, but to the
credit-of the officers as they APP
preciate a good thing and realize
it not only requires attention but
immediate and constant attention.
1t never does any good to lock a
stable door after the horse IS
gone, nor is it better politics to
try to discredit or minimize good
work done by one 5 predecessors

AMERICAN DEFENSE
SOCIETY,

Washington, Feb. 17.-Nov
that the days Of the present Con
gresS are numbered it is evident
that no measure will be passeC
for universal military training
and Senator Chamberlain s bill
will die ON the fourth day OF
March. On the other hand, the
preparedness promises have
been fairly well fulfilled and
practically $800,000,000 is pro
vided for the army and navy forti-
fications. ~- ~-~ =s err
Estimates for the army reached
a total of something over $780,
600, 900. not counting several de-
ficlency measures resulting from
the border mobilization and the
increased cost of war materials.
The Navy bill carried a total Of
1891 1924 compared with
$313,000,O00 last year. It pro-
vides for the construction of three
42,O00-ton battleships, at a cost
of $2S, 17S,592 each; one battle
cruiser at a cost of $26,694, 1876;
three scout cruisers at $6,746, 145
each; Is destroyers at $1,74S,612
each; one destroyer tender at

submarines at 81, 434.093 each.
and sundry other craft. This rep
resents one half of the remaining
portion Of the three-year program
approved last year.
Besides this, an expenditure of |
$12, 100000 for equipping navy
yards to build large numbers of !
capital ships has been approved,
and the bill carrying $51, 900, 900
for coast defenses has passed the
House.
With this much accomplished,
the advocates of an adequate
national defense now propose to
interest the people of the United

THE RIGHT KIND OF MAN.

Congressman Watkins com
mands our admiration by the
manner in which he places
Shreveport's claim to be consid-
cred one Of the candidate for a
Government armor plate factory
before Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. The Judge tells all the
many good things that can be
said about Shreveport and every
feature is set forth with business
clearness amounting to eloquence.
And then our judge says that
Shreveport has all the advant-
ges as a site for making armor
plate that any other town has and
that no town could show better
than th2t, so far as he knows.
The Shreveport Chamber of Com
merce could use that petition
anywhere in the United States
for booster purposes. 1t may not
get the armor plate factory, but
it can be said that Judge Watkins
and Shreveport have deserved
success and it will certainly get

first lesson. Of discipline, Con
gresham A. p. Gardner, who orig
mated the preparedness move
ment, says:
Military discipline doesn
consist in learning to maintain {
straight line in marching, nor il
humping the armory floor with
your rifle butt in unison with
your neighbors. All that sort OF
thing is military drill, not mill
tary discipline. | have seen a
company Of young women on the
stage who could maintain per-
feet alignment and give an eXhi-
bition drill which would make you
marvel, but [ have a good deal Of
doubt whether their minds had
been trained to that obedience
which prevents the dislntegra-
ton Of armies exposed to hunger
and thirst and cold and heat, and
holds human nature in check
during the awful ordeal Of battle.
Military experts tell us that
in every regiment there is a per-
centage of towards and a per-
ctntage of men for whom danger
has no terrors; but that the mass
is neither coWardly nor heroic.
If we'll led and thoroughly discip-
lined, it will perform prodigies of
valor. If badly led or undiscip-
lined, it will shame itself. The
strongest instinct known to man
is the instinct Of self preservation.
The bulwark of discipline, the fear
of officer or comrade is needed for
the restraint of that instinct.
eff plenty of skillful officers
non-commissioned officers are
available, unquestionably the ave-

more time than all the rest.

lose of obedience for a full year

CONSTANCE TALMADGE
 IN PLAY OF THRILLS

Some remarkable scenes in the big tree country of California are an nounced asS noteworthy features ot "The Girl of the Timberclaims," the new Triangle Fine Arts play starring Constance Talmadge. which will be seen at the Triangle theatre today.
 The story deals with conflict be- tween homesteaders and a gang of claim jumpers. who try to get their lands away from them. Director Paul Powell took his company into the dense forest of northern California for a stay of two weeks during the making of the picture. and the action of the play includes felling and saving of the enormous trees which are to be found in that country.
 Miss Talmadge, recently seen with Wilfred Lucas in "The Microscope Mystery" and with Douglas Fairbanks in ''The Matrimaniac.y is said to have Ia remarkably strong role in ''The Girl of the Timberclaims." Rifle in hand she takes her stand at the head of the settlers when there is a pitched battle between them and the claim jumpers The love interest in the play develops from her shooting a government agent who is acting as spy among the land thieves. When she has nursed him back to health she finds that he has been secretly fighting her battle all along This role is played by A. b Sears. who will be rememb bered for his noteworthy performance recently In one of the leading roles in the Bes- sic Love play.

Keeler of New Orleans" Death had been caused by a bullet wound in the head, and a pistol was clasped in the mans right hand. Baggage in the room indi- cated that it's owner had been a person of means, but only few cents were found in the mans effects. All marks of identity had been removed from the lug gage except that some pieces of cloth ing bore the laundry mark, "Keeler."
 The man was about 50 years old, six feet all, and weighed about 160 pounds. After a police investigation it was de- cided that no inquest was necessary, and the body was buried here late today. The hotel management had called in the po- lice after finding the room locked since Thursday.
