A RIVER WHICH KEEPS ITSELF
WARM

A plant in Alaska which uses the
power of a river to supply current for
its great electric gold dredges has hit
upon the novel scheme of actually
making the river keep itself warm.
This is accomplished by sinking cleo
trio heating units in the bed of the
stream. The power generated by the
falling water actually raises the tenn
perature of the flowing water enough
to keep 1t from freezing up even dur,
ing the coolest weather.

CUBA JOINS WORLD TURMOIL
PRESIDENT ASKS YOLUN.
TIERS TO PUT END TO
REVOLUTION

Havana, February 1S-Outwardly
the revolutionary situation here to-
night is virtually as it has been for
the last three days, but there were ru-
mors of uprising in Camaguey, where,
according to unconfirmed reports,
l.ieutneant Colonel Quinones, COM
handing the troops in that province,
had rebelled together with his force.
Communication with Camaguey re-
mains completely cut off. No trains
have arrived from there since yester-
day.
Among the stories in circulation
concerning the trouble in Camaguey
is one that former President Jose
Miguel Gomez has landed there to join
with the rebels.
That the government is preparing
to meet a more serious situation was
demonstrated today by the issuance
Of an official decree, signed by Presi-
dent Menogel, authorizing the enlist
ment of volunteers for service during
period of 80 days. Men between the
ages of IS and 45 are called for and
neither non-citizenship nor lack Of
ability to read or write Spanish will
act as barrier to volunteers.
1t was officially announced today
that the American government had
granted the request of the Cuban gov
eminent to sell it 10000 rifles and s.
900 900 rounds of ammunition.

Road Injunction Suits
Dismissed By Hon.
Judge Baker

The suits enjoining the Parish of
St. Mary from laying out and sur
facing a road running from Avoca
ing a road running from the Avoca
Bridge to the Chene Bridge across
Avoca Island which were filed by
citizens Of Tiger Island few
months ago were dismissed by
Judge Baker Of the District Court
on Thursday Of this week. The en-
joining petition resulted when the
Police Jury appropriated an amount
from a recent parish bond issue for
the purpose of building model
read across Avoca to connect with
the Morgan City-Ramos Road on
Tiger Island. The District Court held
in it's decision that the police jury
was acting within its province in
laying out parish road across
Avoca Island and in making the ap-
preparation from the bond issue to
have same built up as a model, sur
faced road.
The decision of the District Court
will probably clear up the road issue
which has been under litigation for
several months and it is hoped by
the citizens Of Morgan City that
movement be advanced as soon as
possible to secure still other sur
faced roads leading into this city.
Popular sentiment appeared to be
against the action Of the police jury
in its decision to surface the Avoca
road before surfacing the Amelia
Morgan City road but it is now be-
lieved that Morgan City will soon
have not only the Avoca road but a
fine, model road both on Tiger Is
land and Avoca. A bond issue for
road building has already been dis
cussed by the commissioners of the
Tiger Island Road District and an
election for such purpose will proba-
bly, carry without a dissenting vote.
It is known that organ City
is bound to profit by every road
that is built in this section and that
there is no public highway running
into or out of the city which will
not be valuable asset to the econo-
mic interests Of the community
when it is properly surfaced and
drained.
Public opinion seems now in fav-
or of accepting the provisions Of the
police jury in order to secure at
least one model road from the east
just as quickly as possible. Should
no further obstacles arise, surfacing
work will probably be begun on the
Avoca road at once.

erage, or even the non-average man,
whether he is fat, lean, or tall. This
is accomplished by designers equip
ped with throug knowledge Of hui
man averages and is based upon the
measurements of thousands Of men.
Obviously the manufacturers do not
make as many "extra longs" or Tex
ira stouts' as they do Of the average
suits for medium" "stouts," and
'Tong" individuals. After all there
is not such great difference in the
physical measurements Of the I'M
man being as photographers and
caricaturists would have the public
believe. Many men are fitted with
coat shoulders and collars Of the
same size, even though statistics Of
girth show a wide variation. In
every instance the clothes are made
with plenty of allowance for alter
alton in seams, and this permits
letting out sleeves or trousers to the
proper length.
In the modern clothing establish
ment the patterns selected are given
over to experienced designers and
sample patterns and suits made up.
These are made in various sizes and
tried out on professional models.
Then standard patterns are chosen
and hundreds of them cut out by
electric cutting machines which can
produce several sets of paper pat
terms at one cutting. Electric cloth
cutters have sharpened steel wheels
to cut the cloth and then the huge
ally tiketed and sent to the "assemb-
ling" department. Rows and rows
ofelectric sewing machines put thou
ands Of stitches in the clothes before
they assume any resemblance to the
commercial garments we wear.
Electric irons make the pressing de-
partment where the suits are in
spected and pressed a clean, cool,
sanitary working room where hun
dreds of men and women may work
without danger to health. The use
Of electricity in the modern cloth
ing factory has practically eliminat-
ed the term "sweatshop" from the
best establishments. Even the air is
filtered, moistened, and purified by
electricity to cleanse it of the parti-
cules Of wool and dust. The work
rooms are we'll lighted with the new
high power Mazda lamps and in
direct lighting fixtures which do
away with the glare and save the
eyesight of the workers.
There are dozen special opera
tons to be done on a good suit of
ready made clothes before they
reach the retailer and in the largest
and most modern plants the work is
done by special machines driven by
electricity. Making buttonholes for
example, was task formerly set
for a certain group of men to do by
hand.

Buttons Made by Motor

A new electrically operated but
tonhole making machine has taken
over the work formerly done by
hand. Nowadays there are few
large clothing factories that do not
have at least one such machine and
hundreds Of buttonholes are now
worked in but fraction of the time
required by the old hand process.
There is another machine also oper-
ated by the invisible power which
sews on buttons. Even the buttons
themselves are now made by cleo
trically driven machinery, turned
out by electric lathes or punched by
electric presses. All buttons of
wood, ivory, bone or horn are cut by
chisels from a continuous piece of
the solid substance rotated at high
speed in a lathe. Some of the
larger buttons must be dipped, dyed
md painted and for this reason
here are some of these tiny bits Of
which sell at high prices.

TROUSERS ONE Kindred
YEARS OLD

While the exact name, occupation
and age .s the original in cntor OF
the first pair Of trousers is not con-
tanned among the voluminous re-
cords of the u. S. Government Pat
emit Office at Washington old tailors
who have followed the evolution of
masculine attire say that the close
of 1916 marked the one hundredth
anniversary of the present style of
trousers. This means that one hun
dred years ago some brilliant but al
ready forgotten genius figured out
that it would save time and effort it
some new method Of entering and
leaving the conventional style of
trousers were devised. That meant
means Of fastening, other than the
belt to which men of the early eigh-
teenth century were accustomed,
would have to be employed. The in
vention of the button followed and
the early tailors were forced to
make all of the buttons used by
hand and cut them out one at time
from wood, stone and horn. Trou-
sers and waistcoats were made Of
homespun and the mere sewing Of a
suit of clothes required days Of
steady continuous needing. The
tight fitting clothes require careful
cutting and moulding and the
''readymades" and ''hand-medowns
of our country stores today were
unknown.
Since that day electricity has en-
tered the clothing industry and
wrought a change which is world
wide. Wool is sheared from the
sheep by electricity and spun into
cloth by the same power in large,
clean, well lighted buildings. The
shuttles Of the modern loom dart
back and forth at a high rate Of
speed and clothe that it took days to
make a century ago is spun in but a
few minutes in the modern wooden
mill. The cloth has an evenness Of
texture and color unknown in the
olden days and it is possible to vary
its pattern at will. There are nu-
merous inspections Of the wool be-
fore, during, and after it is woven
into cloth. The slightest imperfec-
ton easily rendered visible under
the strong rays of the new Mazda
daylight lamps is quickly noted and
when the piece reaches the finish
ing room the faulty material is cut
and marked "first" or second"
It is these imperfect goods which are
often found on remnant" counters
Of department stores.
Pieces of cloth which pass inspec-
ton are bundled up and shipped,
sometimes in car load lots to the
factories where they are systematic
ally made into "made-to-order'' and |
ready made clothes. The really re-
markable part Of the work of these
Embellishments is the degree Of ac-
curacy with which modern ready
made suit of clothes will fit the av-

THE BIRTH OF A NATION


During its run Of sixteen weeks
in Los Angeles, California, D. w
Grifith's mighty spectacle "The
Birth of a Nation broke every re.
cord ever known in that section OF
the country. It was the longest run
ever recorded by any stage attrac-
ton. During its stay at the Audi
torium, the largest theatre in the
city, the attendance ran over $50,
900 which is more than two-thirds of
the total population Of the city. It
is doubted if ever in the history of
American theatricals a stage offer
ing ever played to such a percent
age Of the total population.
Everybody interested in the pos
sibilities of war finds in D. w.
Grifith's spectacle "The Birth of a
Nation" which comes to the Evange-
line Theatre on April End, thrill
ing association with the issues of to-
day. The great crisis of 1876
as pictured in the play have their
lessons for the Americans of today.
The North and South in internecins
struggle; the strategy of the
Petersburg campaign and of Sher-
mans march to the sea; Lees sur
render to Grant, and the after
math Of the war in the Reconstruc-
ton period-all these form a serial
Of material and political events that
enchain the spectators interest. Out
Of the terrible conflict a new nation,
united by spiritual as well as geo.
ties, was born. The fire
Of American patriotism never burn
ed brighter than it burns today, and |
The play which shows the evolution
rom the past to the present will be |
gladly welcomed at its first local

Charlie Eludes
 Minions of Law.

Charlie Chaplin has damned more ac- tion into his new play, "The Adwcn- turer." than was ever seen in a two- reel production since the motion pie ture was invented.
 Charlie as an escaped convict has the chance of his life for action. He is chased all over the andscape-literaI- ly too up mountain sides, down preci- pices, through bathrooms and in and out of drawing rooms. Of course the large Eric Campbell-he of the huge shoulders and giant stature-has much to do with the chasing, and equally of course there Is Edna-beautiful Edna right on- the job helping Charlie to make his getaway from dozens of tight places.
 There is pathos rather than humor in the ordinary view of a man in convict's s stripes, but Chaplin makes the. char acter mirthful to screech. As Con- yict 23 he works out all sorts of au- dacious shemes and is forever on the verge of being caught but as often Is enabled to escape either through the aid of his beautiful assistant. Edna, or by reason of the comic blunders of his baffled pursuers.
 And there are touches of pathos in ''rhe Adyenturer." just those little sub tie flashes of sympathetic action that help to make Chaplin comedies the success that they are.

WILLIE MEEHAN AND DEMPSEY IN TAME ENCOUNTER.

Willie Meehan and Jack Demp- sey, each of whom claims the heavy weight championship of the Pacific Coast, fought a draw at San Fran cisco last Saturday night. The bout was ffty-fifty, being half wrestling and half fighting.
 The first two rounds saw the fighters bracing themselves against each other, they showed and tugged like wrestlers. Beginning with the third round the two let go and there was plenty of slamming, loud though ineffective, and Referee Toby Irwin called it draw at the end of the fourth.
