had to slow down in srdeer to avoid
the little kiddies playing about the
street. Finally, however, the car
came to a standstil and the party
aliehted. Through a dark, filthy
alley-way Miss Hyland ran, drawing
her dainty skirts about her to keep
them from brushing the dirty bar
rels and beer kegs piled high on
either side.
Far in the distance was a dim
smoky light. "Isn't this 'ust the

So did the other members of the
party. 1t was typical of all the
script called for and both men asked
again and again how the little Miss
had ever managed to locate it.
She refused to tell, however, and
they were forced to satisfy them
selves with the fact that the desired
location had been secured.

Little Peggy Hyland, the famous

advantage in the Vitagraph feature,

the Arcade Theatre tonight, is most
particular about the various loca-
tons used in her pictures.
It is immaterial to the piquant
Miss whether she appears in the
scene or mott must be realistic.
That is why her director was forced
to Journey all over New York City
in order to find location for the
Bowery saloon scenes which play an
important part in the picture. The
first place which Miss Hyland saw
was entirely too large.
"Why, the story calls for per-

claimed, her English accent very de-

last he believed he had discovered

This time the little star hesitated
to venture her opinion. One could
see that she dreaded to express her
thoughts. Hestitatingly she said

until tonight to think it over"
However, she did not do much
thinking. She Immediately set about
to seek the location herself al
though her mother pleaded that it
was not quite the thing for young
lady.

was called upon the phone.

BABY WEEK, MAY 7th

Field to be covered.-The inves-
tipation should deal with as wide q
range in social environment as pos
sible. 1t is interesting to have re-
ports for the babies of prosperous
parents, for babies born under un-
favorable conditions in the longest
ed quarters of the poorer classes,
from the foreign quarters of the
cities, and from any destrict in
which the conditions are exception
al.
Types of campaigns.-The inves-
tigation already made have followed
one of the following outlines:
House-to-house canvass.-The in
vestigation consists of house-to-
house canvass of the entire COM
munity. Women's organizations in
New Orleans and in may cities and
towns in Florida, Iowa, and other
tates have made such investigations.
House-to-House canvass of limit
ed district.-In large communities
this method may be more practical
than the more ambitious canvass of
the entire community. Through the
cooperation of visiting nurses such
tests have been made in many dis
tricts in New Jersey.
Investigation of a selected list of
births.-The selection Of births to
be investigated may be made by
Consulting the baptismal register
Of churches in which infant baptism
is custom.
Obtaining permission to make up
lists from cradle rolls.
Obtaining assistance of teachers
in schools. When lists are made up
in this way double purpose is SER
we'd in bringing the question Of birth
registration to the attention of
school children. Prizes for children
giving most help in making up lists,
ETC., have been given in some COM
munltleS.
Other methods.-In small towns
it may be practicable to cooperate
with the local health officers or re-
gistrars in following the example Of
one health officer who, as a feature
Of a baby-week campaign got out
list of children in the district born
within the last five years, Of which
he had a record. From such a list,
displayed at an exhibit or in some
public place such as post Office or
library, or published in local news
paper, a parent can see whether the
name of a child is included in the
registration record.

Editor Morgan City Review:
In complying to requests from
several citizens l will ask space for
a communication of our future
Commercial organization.
THE DUTY OF THE CONNER
CIAL ORGANIZATION. Why
should city have a commercial or
ganization? Because if it lives up to
his duties, it will be the most po-
tent force in the community for
progress. Its duties are to do any
thing and everything necessary for
and incident to the upbuilding and
the better building Of the city and
it's environs. Its duty is not only to
make a city grow but also to make
it better, a more sanitary, a prettier
and more enjoyable place in which
to live.
The commercial organization has
a first duty in that it must bring all
of the elements of the entire COM
munity together into one compact
body working for the uplift of the
community. It must teach the indi-
vidual composing these elements the
lesson of achievement through CO.
operation.
It must arouse the citizenry from
the old time lethargy to a quickened
interest and always and everywhere
preach the gospel Of sane, safe, and
sound development, unselfishness,
public-spiritedness and civic pride.
Its motto must be: IF it's good for
the community then let's have it."
What helps the city as a whole, has
a like beneficial effect upon every
one. within it's boundaries.

WOMEN TO AID
IN WAR WORK
Red Cross Benefit to be Given at
Opera House Monday

Women of this city have arrang-
ed with Mr.. Sol Loeb, proprietor Of
the Eyangeline Theatre, for a Red
Gross Benefit performance to be
given Monday, April 10th. The

the Red Cross Society and by her
lieutenants and their associates
The receipts will be added to the
membership funds which will result

ship drive which also takes place
Monday.
Miss Edith Wilson, a leader of
the younger set is responsible for
the suggestion to Mr.. Jones who, al
ter fully understanding the impor-
lance Of the plan finally consented
for this special performance. Be
cause of this increase in prices and
the interest already aroused it is ex-
pected that the women of this city
will realize "a large amount of
money for the Red Cross.
While Miss Wilson has always
been Interested in work of patriotic
nature II was this activity in
Daughter Of War;" which caused
her to decide to join in active work
at the front in case her services are
needed.
"a Daughter of War" should be
an Inspiration to every woman of
the city to realize her Importance
in any crisis.
1t includes many Of the important
events in our country's history and
is thrilling throughout.
