depths, and human beings emerge ex-
actly as Jules Verne wrote.
Hunters descend to the floor of the
ocean among man-eating sharks
They require neither life lines nor air
pipes to connect them with the sur
face. With supply of oxygen in
condensed air tanks, they visit the
wonderful marine gardens and coral
caverns where human feet never ven
tured before. Century old wrecks
are found and searched for lost
treasures.
There is terrifying combat, faith
oms deep, between Captain Memo and
"a giant octopus crushing a pear diver
in its monster tentacles; positively the
most thrilling spectacle ever photo
graphed.
Scenes from under the ocean, on
the earth and in the sky combine to
make this first and only submarine
drama truly the most amazing won
der-picture of all time
The production is in nine reels,
and when exhibited for an entire
week at the Globe Theatre in New
Orleans, and subsequently at other
leading picture houses in that city,
admission prices of rs, IS and SO
cents were charged For the local en-
gagement the prices will be 10 and Is
cents, which should enable everyone
to see the stupendous spectacle.

UNTIMELY ANTICS.

The Chief is strongly in favor OF
woman suffrage, believing that the
women of the world are on an aver
age capable and worthy of sharing
with men the duties of citizenship and
responsibilities of government, but
we have no patience or sympathy With
the tactics of the over-zealous suf-
fragettes who have been plcketlng the
White House, and who took advantage
of the recent visit of the Russian mis-
sion to President Wilson to display
conspicuous banners with inscriptions
impugning the United States govern
ment and rejecting on the sincerity
and consistency of the president be-
cause the women of the country are
not granted full and equal civil rights.
In this great crisis of the nations
and the worlds affairs it behooves
every patriotic and loyal resident of
the United States to stand by the
government and the president une-
quivocally, putting aside all personal,
political and partisan differences for
discussion and settlement after the
great war has been fought and won;
and the contrary course of the mis-
guided female pickets and banner
bearers at Washington can have no
other effect than to arouse popular
derision and resentment and thus do
the equal suffrage propaganda good
deal of harm and very little good.
The women Of America who are
seeking the right of suffrage can well
take a lesson from the example and
experience Of their British sisters.
When the war broke out and Great
Britain entered the struggle in behalf
of equal rights among big and little
nations and for the perpetuation of
free government as against the de-
structive domination Of despotic
military autocracy, the militant Brit
ish suffragettes, who had been kicking
up all sorts of didoes in a strenuous
campaign for recognition of their
claims to all the civil rights and pri-
vileges enjoyed by the men of the
country, suspended their political ac-
tivities, announced their hearty allie
glance to the government, and
straightway set about doing their cit
tie bits" for the common veal and the
SUCCESSFUL prosecution VI VIC AiOiiiSH-
tous conflict. The effect Of this sane
and patriotic course has been to give
a wonderful impetus to the woman
suffrage cause in Great Britain.
Prominent officials and public men
hitherto opposed to the movement
have completely reversed their atti-
tudes and it is now confidently antic-
ipated that the close of the war will
be speedily followed by legislation
putting women on a plane of civic
and political equality with men in
the United Kingdom.
The leading ladies" of the untime-
ly and unbecoming Washington out
door performances ought to "take
notice and govern themselves accord
ingly."

mors Money Needed for Schools.

Supt. H. P. Broussard attended the
annual conference of school board
members and parish superlntendentss
held in Baton Rouge last Monday ana
Tuesday. L. E. Thomas, Of the Board
Of State Affairs, addressed the con-
ference on the subject Of state sup
port for public education, and Mr..
Broussard says one of his statements
brought keen disappointment to the
superintendents present. This was to
the effect that the increase in the cur,
rent school fund for the pending fiscal
wear will aggregate only S165,ooO
Whereas it had been hoped and ex-
pected that a much larger amount
would be added to the fund as result
of the revision Of assessments. AS
cension's share of the additional rev.
enue will be approximately $15Oo,
and this will not be near sufficient to
meet the increased cost Of operating
the schools next session, due to the
raise in salaries and other items of
added expense. The police jury is
depended on to make up the deficit.

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of ambi-

calomel because it makes you sick and
you may lose a days work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite breaking it up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea and cramping.

Expert Tells How to Detect
Defects and Urges Prompt
Looking After

Excessive wear to the tread OF a
tire is usually attributed to fault III
alignment of wheels and the real
cause is not therefore, always discOV-
cred even when the car has been in
spected by a mechanic, according to
=. NJ Smoot, president Of SmOot d
Steinhauser, local Firestone distribute
ors, who gives the following rules for
aligning the wheels:
Stand the car in line as near as
possible by having the same distance
between hubs Of front and rear wheels
on both sides Of the car. Measure
front wheels directly in front Of axle
by drawing steel tape measure from
the inside of felloe on one wheel to
the inside Of fellOe on opposite wheel.
After noting the exact measurement,
move the wheels one-third or one
fourth turn and repeat the operation.
The same method of measuring rear
wheels will answer the purpose, eX-
cept that the measurements can be
more conveniently taken directly back
of the axle. If three or four meas
urements do not show a variation of
more than one-fourth inch. the wheels
are in good alignment A difference
of one-ei9hth inch is allowable by
car manufacturers, but, as a general
thing, the wheels are seldom this far
out Of line, unless damaged
There is no specific general stand
ard for the Gambler or canting OF
front wheels outward at the top, but
the practise is to do this on most OF
the cars, the purpose being to make
1t easier to steer and turn curves to
better advantage than if the wheels
