RESERVE CORPS AND
CIVILIAN TRAINING.

The National Defense Act
which became law on June 3rd,
last, provides for a number OF
matters connected with the mill
tary training of civilians, which
are new in our experience. In
carrying out the provisions OF
this Act, there has been estab-
lished a new office at these head
quarters known as the Office OF
the Reserve Corps and Civilian
Training. The office comprises
four branches to cover the sew
eral phases Of civilion training.
These are the Officers Reserve
Corps, the Enlisted Reserve, the
Educational Institutions at which
there is military training, and
Civilian Training Camps.
These have become matters of
National Importance, and the
great number Of inquiries re-
ceived in this office concerning
this subject, show that the citi-
zens Of this part Of the country
are keenly alive to this matter
and desire to be kept informed
with reference thereto.
AT the present time, the sum-
mer camps for civilians are de-
handing a great deal of atten-
ton, and | have instructed Major
H. L. Laubach, 10Th Infantry,
who has charge of this branch
of the office. to secure a list of
the leading papers published in
each city, and from time to time
to send news letters to these pap
ers. which may be published as
matters of general interest.
You may. therefore. expect to

AGREE ON HUNTER AS
NAVAL OFFICER FOR
NEW ORLEANS.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Judge
E. G. Hunter, of Alexandria. will
be the next naval officer Of the
port of New Orleans. Senators
Ransdell and Broussard reached
an agreement today on Judge
Hunter after considering a large
number of applications for this
post. The secretary Of the treas
ury will be requested tomorrow
to recommend the appointment OF
Judge Hunter to the President.
Since Jared Y. Sanders was
elected to Congress from the Sixth
district, systematic campaigns
have been conducted by a num-
Der of well known men in Louis
lana in an effort to succeed him
as naval officer. That the sena-
tors had no easy task IN making
this selection is evident from the
fact that they had to confer be-
fore a decision was reached. One
of the important factors in the Sc
lection of Judge Hunter is the
fact that the Eighth congression-
al district has received no pat
ronage during the entire four
gears Of the Wilson administra,
ton.
This argument was pressed ac-
lively in Judge Hunters favor.
The same argument was used in
favor Of the Seventh district. No
resident Of this district is holding
any office coming under senator
ial patronage. The office of sur
veyor Of customs, however, had
been awarded to Robert l.. Knox
of that district, who later had to
vacate the post.
Judge Hunter was born and
reared in Rapides parish. He is
the son of Col. Robert a. Hunter,
who formerly was secretary Of
state of Louisiana. He is sixty
four years Of age and has spent
all of his adult life in the prac-
tiee of law in Alexandria. He
ranks high as a criminal lawyer
and has been retained in many Of
the important criminal cases
which have risen in Louisiana
during the past generation. He
was a Wilson delegate at the
National Democratic convention
at Baltimore in 1912.
The naval officer at New Or
leans receives a salary of $4,000.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

Why shouldn t we vote, we ladies.
] suppose the men are afraid
they II have to mind the babies,
you don t want the women to go
to the poles,
You don know, that it IL be the
saving of your souls.
And to help make the right kind
Of law,
Some men says it good enough,
"don't give a straw"
You'll vote for man to get
elected,
AS to his principles your ale OBJ
jected,
and that s where your trouble lies
And that's what makes the wo-
mems temper rise,
To think you have no better taste.
Then on such persons your vote
you'd waste.
The men don't ever stop to think,
Just so they are paid the chink,
The candidate that pays you best
That's where you east your vote
with the rest.
And no matter what kind Of laws
they make
You'll have to abide.
Makes no difference where you
reside,
If we should vote for a woman,
it would have to be the best,
And one we thought superior to
the rest,
I am sure you'd get better re-
suits,
And the good lawyers get less re-
suits,
No matter what a woman under
takes,
She IL always try to cast aside the
! fakes.
The men thing our home duties
we'd neglect,
As for them, we might have less
respect,
Does every one who vote loose
his job,
Or does it from him any of his
home duties rob,
Just has to 60 to the poles and
vote,
And the rest of the day to his bus
mess he can devote.
Every genteel gentleman wants
to give a woman her rights,
For in purer and better laws he
delights,
He is sure there'd be no more
saloons, sis
And | am sure there'd be no
more pool rooms,
Of all these evils we make a clean
sweep,
And every man would 60 home
and rest and sleep.
1t seems as though God IS gong
to bring, it about,
And the more we hear of 1t the
less we can doubt,
For the war is taking the men
fast,
And will keep it up, as long as
the war last,
Anv mother would rather see her
son shot at war in the face.
Than to die in horrid disgrace.
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1917-03-03

How will you ever know a wo-
mans ability,
If you keep her in silent stupid
ity,
Why do we give our girls an ed
ucation,
If it's not to elevate the next
generation,
And so if you never give them
chance,
How do YOU expect them to help
the good laws to advance.

LITTLE MARIE OSBORNE in
"WHEN BABY FORGOT"

Were YOU ever a child-that is, can
you remember the time you were!
Lid you'll you can remember BACK
through the golden years-treasure IN
your heart the prayer your mother
taught you, Dld you kneel beside her
and open your heart to the creator OF
all things! And can you still repeat
the prayer which was your favorite!
That is what little Marie Osborne,
the Pathe star does in when Baby
Forgot" the five-reel feature photo
play to be shown at the Greenwood
Theatre, Thursday, July 18th, in which
the child sheds tears and laughter that
all may enjoy.
Only Marie forgets the prayer
a god-given forgetfulness, for be-
cause she does forget, her parents are
reunited, after a stormy separation
the silken bonds Of love enchaln
them again, when all had been lost.
And the little child does it.
