Serial Order

OF the eighty.three men who were
examined on Saturday, seven were
called back for examination. One hun
dred and thirty m7r from the list OF
2S6 who were sent notices to appear,
have already filed claims for exemp.
ton on the grounds of dependents.
These claims have been filed in ad.
vance of the examinations and this fact
leads Chairman Bowers, of the draft
board, to believe that a second call for
one hundred men will be necessary in
order to furnish the required quota.
1t is expected that the second call will
be made this week and that the exam.
nations will begin next Saturday for
the men who will receive notices to ap.
pear under this call.
The draft Eoard is very much pleased
with the manner in which the examina.
tiops are being held any they are con-
fident that they will be able to pass
upon the exemptions and make a re.
.ort in due time.
OF the NEIL examined last Saturday,
one man who is very large in stature
will probably be exempted because he
has the use Of only one eye. Two 9th.
er men Of large muscular build will be
exempted because of hernia.
TOday's list calls for ninety.five men
to be examined while tomorrOw's calls
for ninety.six. Up until noon today al
most half Of the allotted number have
put in their al pearance and nave been
examined by DR.. c. L. Kinney, the ply.
siCian in charge of the examinations.

Natural Gas Used By Big
Sugar Company
From The Houma Courier:


/ .Terrebonne natural gas is being
used by the Terrebonne Sugar Co
for fuel. 1t is piped from the Nc
Cormick well to the Lirette proper
ty, four miles of pipe line having
been laid. Gas burners have been
installed under every boiler and the
first test was made in the early part
of last week, with complete success
The heat from the gas is much
stronger than from either crude oil
or coal and can be handled with far
less trouble and at much less ex-
pense.
Inability to get pipe delayed the
Mccormick Co., in their efforts to
supply gas to this refinery at the
beginning of the grinding season.
and fearing the possibility of the
gas not meeting the requirements
the Terrebonne Sugar Co., took the
precaution to purchase season.

kept in reserve until conditions per

equip themselves as to be able tc
meet any emergency.
The piping of gas to Houma and
other points will of course depend
on future conditions affecting the
market for pipe.

creased acreage supplied cane to
! keep them going despite the de-
creased yield per acre. Points of es-
pecial interest to all local people to
which Mr.. Pharr never tires Of
pointing were the manufacture Of
the multiple vacuum cookers and the
great cane grabbers. Vacuum cook
ers are used universally and are the
invention of 4 Louisiana man. The
cane grabber used for unloading
barges and cars was invented by a
Morgan City man. Returning from
the refinery the field cane leaders
were noticed and Mr.. Pharr also
stated that they had been manufac-
tured in Berwick and were gener-
orally used.
From the Glenwild Refinery,
Judge Martin was taken to the
Union Bridge Company Shipyard
where the six big 5000 ton wooden
ships are under construction for the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. The
visiting congressman was keenly in
terested in the work and asked many
questions of the courteous Vice
president, Mr.. H. K Seltzer, who
took time from his pressing duties
to show the party about the yard.
Judge Martin took occasion to state
that Morgan City and Berwick
should be proud of the Union Bridge
Company Shipyard and that he
would gladly cooperate with the bay
cities in bringing more of such in
dustries to these communities. He

Houma Wants Inter-
coastal Canal Built
New Orleans Business Inter-
ests Criticised For Not
Showing More Activity
BY w. D. Robinson.

| Times-Picayune Staff Reporter
| Houma, La, Nov. 24.-The early
construction and completion of the
1ntercoastal canal between New Or
cans and Lake Charles, and the def
| mite location of the eastern end Of
| the route, is an absorbing topic in
! tnii section The car shortage and
the congestion C traffic on the rail

alton acute
The Immediate constitution of the
| and Morgan City is looked upon as
| war necessity, and Congress will be
asked to provide the funds when that
body convenes next month.
Sharp criticism of the business IN
terests of New Orleans for their ne
glect or failure to give the Inter
coastal canal movement the support
that it is entitled to receive is being
heard among influential citizens of
this section. The criticism is point
ed and pronounced, the people being
not at all backward about expressing
their opinion Of the seeming indif-
ference of some of the New Orleans
interests
Mayor Behrman has shown dis
position, the business men here say,
to give the canal his whole-hearted
support, and the mayor has render
ed valiant services, but it is felt here
that he has not received proper sup
port in New Orleans. Most of the
criticism here is aimed at the New
Orleans Association of Commerce,
which recently has shown disposi-
ton to show some activity.
T. B. Easton, editor of the Houma
Courier, who is in position to re-
fleet the sentiment of the people Of
this section believes that the New
Orleans business interests have not
been doing their duty toward push
ing the canal to completion, nor in
aiding in the definite location of this
link of the route.
Editor Easton's Views:
"The Barataria and Lafourche
canal, owned by R. R. Barrow" said
Mr.. Easton, "offers a serviceable
and an almost aid line route for the

More Sweaters Needed
Division American Red Cross

New Orleans, La, Nov. 10, 1917.
TO HEADS OF ALL CHAPTERS:
A telegram just received by Mr.
Leigh Carroll, General Manager,
Gulf Division, from Mr.. H. D. Glib
son, General Manager, A. R. c.,
Washington, D. C. reads:
1t is imperative that all sweaters,
wristlets and socks that can posi-
bly, be made by the women Of the
country should be turned into the
supply department at the earliest
possible dates. With the cold wea-
ther coming on, the demand for
sweaters especially has been beyond
the capacity of all our resources to
supply. We have forwarded prompt
ly all knitted articles received from
the Chapters and have in addition
been compelled to buy in the mar
ket $4,000 sweaters, of which
about 100000 have been delivered.
These sweaters are machine knit,
and the yarn used is a mixture of
cotton and wool, so that it does not
withdraw any considerable amount
OF yarn from the women knitters of
the Red Cross. We are buying all
the yarn we are able to secure that
is suitable for knitters and send
ing it out to the chapters as fast as
VIC can get delivery of it. We have
received from the Chapters about
100000 sweaters, all of which have
been delivered to the men in the
camps and training stations, with
the exceptions of a few thousands
which we have had to send to
France. The requests Of our or
ganization in France for sweaters
and knitted goods have had to re-
main unsatisfied, on account of our
inability to secure enough for men
in our army and navy. We call up-'
on the women to give is their very
best report from now until at least
January first, that we may be able
to furnish our own men with those
comforts, and have some to spare
for the dire. needs in France"
The message from Mr.. Gibson ex-
plains itself, and his appeal calls for
the earnest attention Of all interest
ed in the comfort and welfare Of our
soldiers in the field.
You are. therefore, urged to
communicate Mr.. Gibson,s telegram
to the mebers of your Chapter. and
other Red Cross workers in your vi
cinity with a. request that they
strain every point to meet the de-
mand Of the Supply Department
within the specific time.
Feeling that you will give this
matter your earliest attention and
that our Division may look to it's va
rious Chapters for the same prompt
responses in this instance as their
comemndable efforts have shown in
the past, remain,
