Helen Tyson had to step across the
stage three times last night and war
Bile a stanza of the song hit OF the
night before the tickled spectators out
In front would let up in their hand.

performers of the Danny Lund's TRAN

ly known as the Original girl in the
golden gown" All this explains the
sort of foot gear she wears on the
stage. And bet plugged nickel that
outside of the few OF US old timers
down in the front row very few others
noticed that her nervous feet were all
bOu,.d round with a golden cord.
That's TO make them behave. If she
should take the notion to unleash them
Hippodrome patrons would see some
Of the best ballet performances the
pax planks at Manager Wiley's house
ever had to bear up under.
Danny Lund and Miss Glenn kept
The audience laughing with the story
Of the galloping fish and Dock Dor
man with his droll way of saying
Tonight there is new one going on
he boards. Someone is responsible
Tor calling it 1.-THE King OF Hereafter"
but Mr.. Lund takes the blame for most
Of the comedy. He will appear in a
black face role and by slight stretch
OF the imagination one can almost WIS.,
nalize the funnyness of his part. The
plot OF the piece is laid in the abode
pf his satanic majesty and 1t takes spe.
sial scenery to give 1t the proper SET
ing Lund has this and also a lot of
meets that ought to make the last bill
of the week the best of the three pre-
sented. The girls will wear new things
and sing different songs, smile as
pleasantly as usual, dance like demons
and-what more can we ask?
The Nelson has lined up for today
four good numbers. headed by "What
Would You Do?p featuring Richard
Trayers and Earnest Maupin. Tom
Mix and his company of daring rough
riders will supply the thrills in a COM

A Te.routing of a number of shows
booked on the Gus Sun Circuit takes
vendig's Winter Garden Girls off the
Hippodrome list for next week and
gives Manager Wiley one OF the best
travelling musical comedy companies
Instead. 1t is Moore's Merry Maids,
and from the once over given their
press notices from other places around
the circuit 1t looks good to us.

FOR PROTECTION OF WOMEN.
Club Organized to Protect Those
 Stranded bysWar.


 London. April 20.-'For Women Without Nation." is the title of a committee just organized by the American Won:en's club under the di- rection of Lady Lowther
 The club, in connection with it's war work, has found that there are large number of women stranded in London who cannot claim the rights and protection of any state; they are citizens of no country.
 An instance given by the club sec retary is that of an English woman who had married a Belgian and went with him to the United States, where he lived long enough to lose his na- tionality. Neither took out naturali- zation papers. and they returned to Europe so that the husband could en- ter the Belgian army, in which he is now fighting.
 We have record of more than a hundred such cases" said the secre- tary.
 The club has committees to help stranded Americans, to educate Amer ican children, to maintain workshops where hospitals are supplied to the Allies, and to manage knitting fac- tory for the aged.

weight among skeptical people. For over two years I have suffered to- ments with stomach trouble and could not eat anything without great dis tress from gas and bloat and sour stomach. I felt badly and tired out and was not really up to the best of health and after great deal of inves- tigation I decided to try Herbal Lax a-Tone and the results were marvellous and can say that my trouble is gone and feel better today than I have in the past three years."

For many years the fuel ex

For many years the fuel ex-
pense of the New iberia Electric
Light and Water Works Plant
has been a kind of a nightmare
with the management and those
of our citizens interested in mu-
nicipal ownership, and it begins
to look like some relief might be
afforded in the near future by the
purchase of what is known as the
Snow Engine which consumes
common crude oil. Some days
ago Commissioners Sealy, Viller-
min and Girard made tour Of
investigation, visiting the towns
of Lafayette and st. Martinsville
for the purpose of investigating
their engines. From what we
have been able to learn the en-
CINE used at st. Martinsville is
operated daily at cost of $2.S5
while our system which consumes
coal, cost every twenty-four hours
in money between $4,000 and
$500. 1t is true it would re-
quire in New liberia not less than
300 horsepower engine to do
the work necessary here, but the
saving within. five years would
more than justify a change under
the present circumstances. If it
is possible to find a way of ne
gotiating for an engine like our
sister town, it would be wise for,
our City Fathers to get busy on
this matter at once. At the time
our Plant was erected we do not
believe any such machine was on
the market and there is no doubt
those in authority at that time
did the best they could, AS con-
ditions are at present with fuel
so exorbitantly high something
must be done to afford the City
relief in so far as fuel expense is
concerned.

On Tuesday afternoon last,
Mr.. VIM. Lassalle met with an ac-
cident that cost him the loss of
his fine automobile and some bad
burns on his hands. and came near
causing the loss also of the rice
threshing machine of Mr.. Con-
rad who is threshing rice on the
Mcmahon property near New
Iberia. 1t seems Mr.. Lassalle ran
his car on a quantity of dry rice
straw and in some unaccountable
manner either the machine back
fired or some gasoline dropped
and came in contact with electric
sparks from the battery, catching
the hay afire. The gentleman
jumped out Of the machine and
attempted to pull the burning
hay from under the car, but it
spread so fast it was impossible
to put it out or to remove the car.
In the space of few seconds his
car took fire also and was COM
pletely demolished. The flames
of the burning hay continued to
spread and had it not been for
the fact that the smoke was OBJ
served by Mr.. Phil Conrad at the
rice mill which is in near vlcln-
ity it is more than probable the
thresher would have been lost
also and other damage would
have been done. AS soon as he
could get his crew of employees
together they jumped into Mr..
Conrad's little Ford and made
for the scene where the fire was
burning. getting there just in
time to subdue the flames and
push the threshing machine out
of danger. Mr.. Lassalle's loss
falls quite heavily upon him as
he carried no insurance upon his
car.
Since writing the above we un-
derstand some $500 worth Of hay
was lost which was owned by Mr..
John Conrad.

Importance of organizing a
Farmers Protective Association
has been discussed by numerous
business men in our community
This week we were informed Mr.
Leon Dreyfus is endeavoring to
revive this sentiment. if he can
get the farmers themselves to CO.
operate. The purpose of the or
ganization is primarily to enable
the farmer to handle his crop in
such way as to get top-notch
prices for everything he has 60
sell at harvesting season. This
can be accomplished only through
cooperative association suffi-
GENTLY financed to equip ware
houses or storage rooms sufficient
ly large to hold corn. cotton and
other products until the markets
justify their disposal. In many
instances there is no doubt better
prices can be obtained for the
products of this country were an
organization effected, differed by
competent persons who keep
posted with the markets daily. 1t
is true this year nearly every
farmer is well satisfied with the
prices being paid for their pro-
duets. This should not deter our
farmers from organizing as there
will come time when an Organi-
zation of that nature will mean a
saying Of thousands of dollars to
them.
