PARISH UNIT OF WOMAN'S
COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DE.
FENSE. 1' % s1e'

On thursday afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock forty of our representatives
women gathered at the Knights of
Colunbus Hall for the purpose of
rreeting and hearing Mrs. Storm of
Morgan City, Chairman for the
Third District of the Woman's Coun-
Gil of: National Defense. Mrs. Storm
was presented by Mayor Beurg and
after IA few remarks, outlined the
work of the National Council of De-
fense #and stressed the great imror-
tance 1of the work Of the women .ot
tohay. She spoke at leng1a of the
great trials and hardships being en-
dured by the women Of the war rid
den districts and the tremendous ef-
forts being made by the National
War Council by organizations and
| otherwise to prepare the women OF
the United States for their part In
the struggle. During the course OF
her remarks she quoted those beauti.
full lines from "Your Flag and My
Flag" Mrs. Storm is organizing in
every parish Of the Third District
Parish units Of the Woman's Council
of Defense. She expressed great
qualification at the splendid work be
ing done by the Lafourche Branch OF
the Red Cross, as Red Cross is one
of the Defense features where such
organizations do not exist. She very
forcibly stressed the necessity OF
each and everyone preaching regis.
tration, for during the newt few
days the Governor will issue a pro.
clamation calling for the registration
of the women from sixteen up, and
as the law makes it compulsory, it
is the purpose of the Council of De-
fense that all it's workers impress
the necessity for so doing. Polling
booths will be conveniently placed on
the day appointed and every woman
Of both races will be required to fill
out the blank cards which will be-
come Government records. Some
seem to have the erroneous impress
sion that registering will permit the
Government to draft them into ser
vice as has been done with the men,
while the real object is that each
woman may have the opportunity to
state that which she can do that will
be of service to her country either
ct home or abroad. From the simple
occupation of caring for children
and reading to the sick to that of
aviatrix and running motor cars and
every kind of Agricultural, Clerical,
Domestic, Industrial, Professional,
Public and Social Service work is
listed so there is a nook for the i'm
portance Of this work the body pro-
eeeded to organize by electirg Off
GERS for the Lafourche Unit Of Wo-
mans Council Of National Defense.

AMERICAN PUBLIC

prefiteering Net to Be Tolerated
According to Statement of
War Board.

Washington, Aug. 8.--Befnte assurance
that the American public will he protected
lagainst profiteering and that the allied
governments will get their war supplies
lat the same price as the United States is
heentained in announcement of the admin
hstratien's war price policy. The pro-
Fneunoement was made by the new war in
Industries board, formed last week as part
Ipf the council of national defense te have
full charge of the governments war pur-
ehases. 1t made clear the administration 8
determination that there shall be no exer-
Infant war profits, and at the same time
STATED the governments intention to see
that industry receives fair prices for it's
.preducts,
Already the administration Is preparing
f3or drastic action to reduce prices If nege-
tiatians with manufacturers fail to pro-
|duce results. Robert s.. Lovett, Of the war
beard, who made public the statement, de.
clared that the government was ready for
such contingency and felt confident /,
could meet the situation. If possible. he
'eaid it hoped to accomplish results without
resort to legislation.
In the Senate to-day Senator Pome'
rene introduced a bill to authorize the
President to fix the prices OF iron ore
iron, steel and their products and tc
regulate their production and sale
Through the federal trade commission
The war board believes that Ameri
can manufactures will accept thu
suggestion concerning prices to tn
allies without the use of force. 1
feels that the knowledge the govern
ment already has power or can pro
cure 1t from Congress will be suffi
cient to persuade producers to follow
the boards suggestions.
The subject of prices to the publi
presents a harder problem, but admin
bstration leaders hold that the reduc
ton of prices charged the govern
,ments in itself tend to lower price
generally.
