others were greatly reduced This was
true in the estimates submitted by
the Board Of Education. The budget
provides for enough increases TO the
school board 20 raise the teachers
salaries, the minimum salary being
fixed at 5000. whereas at present the
minimum is 1915. The janitors also
are to receive a 10 per cent increase,
but the request for $500 a year for
the position OF superintendent OF
ianitors, new position which
was to have been created for
Marion w. Thomas, fireman az the
High School. was refused by the
finance committee OF Council.
Several Councilmen expressed sur
prisod at the request for this sum
for this position as the budget pre-
scented BY the board did not state
what IL was proposed to do with the
$500 now allowed Thomas for his ser.
vices and Il was thought possible that
he was TO be allowed both positions
and the two salaries.
Among the increases asked for
which were reduced was that OF the
fire companies. which ranged from ST.
600 TO 81 500. II was stated that
each OF the twelve fire companies
have been allowed increases which
will average about $500. IL was also
stated that the fire companies we're
asking Council to bear the cost Of
upkeep Of their machines. many Of
which are damaged on country runs.
for which the New Castle Levy Court
allows S40O a year.
The Board OF Health was likewise
allowed an increase but not as large
as asked for. Il was said the request
for funds to enable them TO hire six
additional officers had been refused.
the request for $4,000 for oils TO spread
over the marshes was also refused.
The Board OF Park Commissioners,
the Street and Sewer Department and
the Police Department were all al
lowed increases.
The present Council VIII close the
year with a substantial bank balance
despite the fact that the past year has
been a heavy one on the city treas

the city paid $4,000 for its share OF

LESS Than the Dust"

In her new play, LESS Than the
Dust" which will be the offering at
thes Grand next Tuesday, Mary Pick
ford has the role of little castaway
Of English birth who has been reared
among natives of the lowest caste of
India. The scenes are all laid in India
and England and are remarkably
faithful pictures of both lands in
scenic sets Of great beauty and won
drous effect. One of the scenes shows
street with its shops and bazaars
and all of the color and ever chang
ing views of an Eastern thoroughfare.
Another shows the British garrison.
Then there is great stone temple
and the pool of the sacred waters
while another effective picture is made
OF storm in the dessert and there is
battle between natives and British
troops. The story is full of dramatic
force and Miss Pickford's part is a
pleading of the delightful comedy,
winsomeness and innocence that give
her portrayals such an appealing, girl
ish charm. Through all of the chang
ing scenes there is human love story
of which the little castaway and a
dashing young officer are the central
figures.

'The Squaw Mans Son."

This wonderful photoplay, re-
leased on the Paramount program,
and sequel to "The Squaw Man."
featuring the polished screen star,
Wallace Reid, will be the Monday Of
fering at the Grand. AS in all of his
work, Mr.. Reid as Lord Ellington,
thoroughly plays the part of the half
Englishman, half-red man reared in
affiuence in England, but with the
blood Of the Indian impelling him to
seek the outdoors of his native west.
Anita King is Wah-na-gi, the Carlisle
graduate with whom Hal, in spite of
the fact he has a wife in England,
falls in love. Miss King has one Of
the big roles of the story and does
excellent work. Dorothy Davenport
is Lady Ellington, the morphine-con-
suming wife of the leading character.
1t is an overdose of the drug that
brings about her death at convenient
point in the play, leaving her former
partner free to marry Wah-na-gi
There are other good character por-
trayals in the production and good
ly number of tense situations.

NAVY STILL NEEDS MEN.
Recruits Being Sent to Training Sta.
tions as Soon as Enlisted.

The anniuncement is made by Com
mander l.. j. Clark, navy recruiting Of
ficer at New Orleans, that hereafter
as soon as a man ,enlists in the navy
he will be sent to one. of the naval
training stations or receiving ships.
Following the declaration of war,
enlistments in the navy were so great
that the training stations and receiv-
ing ships were soon overeroWded and
it was necessary for the department
to return recruits to their homes un-
til they could be accommodated at
the stations. All of the stations have
since been enlarged, new training
camps have been established, and
most of the men who have been in
training have been sent to sea, thus
making it possible now to send re-
cruits direct to the stations as soon
as they enlist.
Commander Clark states that the
navy is still in need of recruits and
is enlisting apprentice seamen, and
that there are excellent opportuni-
ties at the present time for men with
skilled trades, such as machinists, fire.
men, bakers, cooks and walters.
The navy will not enlist man who
aas been notified to appear before a
ocal board for physical examination,
out will enlist. all others between the
ages of 18 and 35.
The recruiting officer is working on
plans to carry out an educational cam
paign to impress upon the people of
Louisiana that the navy is branch
service that offers wonderful oppor
sunities to ambitious young men.
At the present time the lowest rate
If pay is $32.50 per month, plus
clothing, lodging and subsistence, and
,very man who enlists has an opportu-
lity to learn trade and to become an
,fficer at high rate of pay.

"Love or Justice ?"

Louise Glaum, the popular screen
favorite, will be starred in the new
Triangle play, Love or Justice?" at
the Gem theatre Sunday. Love or
Justice?" which is the work of Lam
bert Hillyer, is strong drama of
love and sacrifice. It tells the story
of woman Of the underworld who
weans a brilliant young lawyer from
the drug habit by her love and devo-
ton. Here is vampire who sacri-
fees all her Injuries and her former
life for the man she has grown to love-
AS in Sweetheart of the Doomed"
and '.The Wolf Woman" Miss Glaum
will make her gowns distinctive fea-
ture. In the first part of the play, in
which she appears in the cabaret
scenes, she Is garbed IN the clothes Of
a queen of the underworld, similar to
those which she wore in ''The Wolf
Woman" Later, as she gains refine
ment through her love and sacrifice,
her gowns are of more delicate quail
ity. The settings are laid In lawyers
Offices, luxurious homes and club
rooms. One important episode is laid
in a well-known Tenderloin basement
cabaret. Another imposing "set" fea-
ture is a courtroom scene, in which
over 800 people are used.

"Arsene Lupin."

Earl Williams, the noted actor,
plays the leading part in "Arsene
Lupin," the classy Vitagraph photo
play which will be shown at the Grand
next Friday. The story of the play
follows:
Arsene Lupin (Earl Williams), pre-
possessing and clever, prefers match
ing his wits against the Paris police to
more honorable endeavor. As the
Duke of Charmerace," impersona-
ting the duke and succeeding to his
estate and wealth, the mystery sur
rounding the playful Lupin, who
signs his name on the bare wall or a
note left in the place Of the valuable
trophies he secures, is unsolvable.
When Lupin falls in love with Sonia
ETHEL Gray Terry, private secretary
OF one of his victims, he receives the
shock that changes his life. For he
discovers Sonia hypnotized by the
wealth about her, has taken advantage
OF his own thefts to attempt to steal
Tor herself valuable trinket from
aer mistress. Persuaded by his faith
1ul nurse (Julia Swayne Gordon) he
makes startling getaway from
Guerchard (Brinsley Shaw, the
shrewd detective who has solved the
secret Of "Lupin." A secret elevator,
winch captures the detective and
sages him while Lupin impersonates
she detective himself, and leaves with
sonia for better life, furnishes
sensational climax.

THE LOUISIANA OYSTER BEST.
Pelican State Bivalves Gaining Ma
tion-Wide Reputation.
Orleans Item

A'ES oEieaHS item.
The Louisiana oyster, once classa,
by the department of agriculture as
"feroclous, wild ANIMAL" is verifyin,
this rather extraordinary reputatio,
by licking all the oyster who hail from
other points IN commercial way. S,
says Commissioner Alexander, of tn,
conservation department of the state
| Commissioner Alexander is well-post
/ ed on all of the food resources o.
Louisiana, but he is a close and par
ticular friend of the oyster, and has
always done his best to introduce il
into the best society.
'tThe Louisiana oyster has made its
way to Chicago, said Mr.. Alexander
1.-The export trade in the bivalve is in.
creasing tremendously. A few years
ago the only oysters used in the north
came from the eastern seaboard. To-
day a large percentage of them are
shipped from the reefs of Louisiana.
This year the state has been most
active in its conservation work along
these lines. The commonwealth mas
planted over 21,000 barrels of tne
bivalve for seeding purposes. Storms
sweeping the gulf and the hayous
have several times in recent years
been SO severe as to reach to the reefs
and almost destroy the oyster colonies.
In every case where the damage was
apparent by the succeeding scarcity,
the state has taken measures to re-
place the loss.
GtrTbo nY1iciapa opc+ar alxry,xre
prime, succulently salty and delicate
ly delicious at all seasons, has grad
ually fought its way into public fa-
vor and is now rapidly taking it's
place as the finest oyster in the world.
Its rivals of the Chesapeake and Long
Island, because of an adventitious
reputation, kept it off the northern
market for years, but persistent sys-
tenn of advertising, coupled with the
rare qualities of the bivalve itself,
have at last had their effect, and to-
day the export oyster trade of the
state is the largest in it's history. /,
"The outlook for the present sea-
son is not only encouraging, but is
arousing enthusiasm among oyster
men. There are now approximately

The military salute had a curious
origin, if the tradition broupht to
light by U. s. Marine Corps officers
at their headquarters here may be
believed. The Navy soldiers say that
the salute originated in the days of
the tournament, at which a queen Of
beauty was chosen to preside. The
knights and their esquires and all who
took part in the tourney, on present
ing themselves before the queen, lift
ed each one a hand level with the
brows as though dazzled by the light
of her presence.
Although it's significance has been
forgotten that same salute is now
used by military men in recognition
of superior rank; the Marine Of
ficers say.
