all precinct commanders:
"City ordinance 3045 regulating mo-
tor vehicle headlights is not being
complied with. especially along the
shell road and other points in the
outskirts of the city. This is notice
ably so on Ford automobiles. very
few of which are equipped with the
proper lenses.
Police officers will make them
selves familiar with the following de-
vices. which are approved by the po-
lice department. Warner lenses, New
Osgood lenses, Legal Light Glare Kill
er.
The 1917 model Pierce-Arrow and
Cadillac are equipped with low and
high light. The low light complies
with the ordinance. The high light
does not. The agents of these cars
have promised to so adjust these cars
that it will be possible only to use
the low lights. Police officers from
now until August Is will warn driv-
ers of motor vehicles that they must
equip their cars so as to comply with
the law, as after that date arrests
will be made for any violations.
Several of these devices now being
used are absolutely useless and no
device will be permitted to be used
which is not approved and inspected
by this office"

The friends of Father Petit and the

continually improving and that he
will soon be ready to receive visitors.
AS soon as he is able to receive his
friends he will be more than glad to
see them, for it is somewhat lonely
lying on your back for any length OF
time.
The attendance at the club during
the last week was not very great.
Perhaps it was due to the extremely
hot weather and the members desired
TO remain in the open instead OF In
the clubrooms.
There is a comical story circulating
around the club as to how one or the
members chased the colored porter as
far as Opelousas, thinking that the
negro was running away with one Oh
the H. y. G.. c. indoor baseballs. 1t
turned out that the ball did not be-
long to us after all and the joke was
on the members. Some said that the
negro outran our member, but there is
some doubt as to that, for he surely
is some mighty runner 90. But, who
knows, ii may be?
A new game has been introduced
into the poolroom by one Of cur men,
bers. IL has no name that he knows
of, but it is rather interesting and it
is the favorite these days over any of
the old games One of the good points
about it is that you need not have
any real ability to play it. It can be
played by a beginner. and. at that, the
beginner is likely to come out as the
victor.

For ye are bought with a price: there

text might mean, Wanted, a Man"
Not only that, but God was calling for
man. Men are always needed in the
Church and in every department of
life to carry on the affairs of life.
Manhood is appreciated and a true
man Is found in the various walks
OF life. On the tomb of Daniel Web
ster there is said to be written.
Here Lies Man" AS much as we
appreciate men it is sometimes diff
cult to define our own conception of
man. The Bible definition is about
as correct as is usually interpreted by
the poet and to which our own con-
ception responds, Psalm Is, Lord.
VINO shall abide in Thy tabernacle?
VINO shall dwell in Thy holy hill?
He that walketh uprightly, and work
eth Righteousness, and speaketh the
truth in his heart He that back
biteth not with his tongue, nor doeth
evil unto his neighbor, nor taketh up
reproach against his neighbor. In
whose eyes a vile person is con-
demned; but he loved them that fear
the Lord. He that sweareth to his
own hurt and changeth not. He that
putteth not out his money to usury,
nor taketh reward against the inno-
cent. He that doeth these thing shall
never be moved"
