The Juvenile band Of workers
for the Red Cross which was orr
ganized two weeks ago is grow-
ing in numbers and interest. The
meetings are held at the homes Of
members on Friday afternoons.
They sent off to-day their first
contribution Of work which con-
sisted of eighteen (what is known
as snip bags) used in the hospitals
and are in the list of articles men,
toned as very much needed. So
even the little ones are doing their
share.
Beginning July LIST, 1917, all
Sheriffs, Clerk of Court and As
essors throughout the State OF
Louisiana will work on straight
salary basis in accordance with
the Act Of the Legislature at it's
last session. The salary of orr
Sheriff is fixed under the law at
50, 10000 and an expense account
of 81, 10000 for the payment of
deputies. Whatever fees come
into the office above this amount
will find its way into the Parish
treasury. The salary Of the
Clerk of Court is fixed at $500
with the same amount for the
payment of clerical assistance.
When taken into consideration
all Of the criminal work is done
absolutely free and the only way
the Clerk can attain his salary is
through the legal business. the
fees are but nominal. All amounts
above this must also be accounted
for by the Clerk and turned over
to the Police Jury to be used for
the criminal expenses. This be-
ing the law, litigation will come
high to many who previously had
many little favors extended to-
them, as it was optional with the
Clerk whether he charged for his
services or not. 1t would have
been far better to have reduced
the charges for the filing Of suiys
and then the people would haze
gotten the benefit Of the reduce
ton. As it is now full rates must
be charged for all work executed
by the officials as they will be
checked up by the Parish. The
Assessor salary is fixed at $4,000
with an allowance Of 81 500 ex-
ira for clerical assistance.

"A negro named Beldon Spen-
Ger was murdered last Wednes-
day night at Avery Island by
another of his kind known as
Van Thompson who put five bull
lets from Winchester rifle in the
murdered man. After committing
the horrible deed, the murderer
placed heavy weight around the
neck of the dead man and threw
the body into Petite Anse Bayou
where it was found by searchers
on Thursday morning. AS soO1
as the remains was discovered,
parties at the Island phoned ia
for Sheriff Landry, giving him a
description Of the man whom they
thought committed the deed.
Sheriff Landry and Deputy Rod
rigue Immediately started out for
the scene Of the crime and while
on their way to the Island ran
across Thompson sitting in his
buggy apparently trying to make
his escape. He had with him in
his vehicle a Winchester which
contained several other unused
cartridges. The crime is sequel
to bad feeling which existed be-
tween the two men for several
years. At the term Of Court last
year Spencer was tried for shoot
ing at Thompson which resulted
in his acquittal, and ever since
then trouble was expected. The
crime was a most dastardly one
and Thompson will be fortunate
if he does not suffer capital pun
ishment.

RED CROSS BATTERY BUSY
At THE MARINE BARRACKS
Twenty-Five to rs Women, With 16
Sewing Machines, Turn Out Gar
ments by Thousands.

There is a Red Cross battery" we'll
trained and doing effective service in
Washington. Its home station is at the
marine barracks.
This battery" is composed of six
teen sewing machines manned by any
where from twenty-five to seventy-five
women in relays
BY the thousands garments have been
turned out from these machines for the
last six months and many large boxes
have been turned in to the District
chapter Of the Red Cross for distribu-
tion to base hospitals.
Mrs George Barnett. wife of the COM
mandant of the Marine Corps. organ
ized this battery" and has taken an
active part in its work. She is con-
cerned principally with the financial
support. which is used to purchase ma
terials. etc.
Mrs. Claude F. Doyen is in active
charge of the sewing classes. which are
held in the gymnasium of the marine
barracks.
Mrs. Lena Buerger. wife of the SER
geant. acts as forelady for this big
force of sewers. and Mrs. Latten is the
chief cutter.
The numbers of workers varies. but
on no one of the regular class days
has the attendance been less than nine
teen, which was one of the hottest
days last summer. Frequently there
are as many as seventy-hve women
at work at one time.
These are all expert sewers. When
Mrs Barnett started this Red Cross
auxiliary in February there were
many women of the neighborhood who
came to sew. Some of these were not
very proficient with the needle and
gradually they lost interest in the
work. Those who have stayed are all
clever sewers.
The women meet to sew every We'd
nesday and Friday. Some of them take
work home and do their best work
daily in their own homes.
There is also a knitting group, who
are doing a great deal of home work.
A surgical dressing class is conduct
ed on Fridays and this unit has pro-
vided a large quantity to meet emer-
gency demands upon the District chap
ter of the Red Cross

RED CROSS ACTIVITIES
At THE UNION STATION
Coffee and Sandwich Depot in
Freight Yards, Coin Collection
and Posters.

Every facility for conducting Red
Cross activities at Union station is be-
ing afforded by Supt. Wilson.
one of the greatest services is the op-
portunity given the women of the Re-
freshment Corps to have a station in
the freight yards where almost every
| night coffee and sandwiches are dis
tributed to soldiers passing through
the city in trains.
The coin collection in the sixteen-inch
French naval shell. which in two weeks
| amounted to S6S.53. and the placing of
Red Cross posters about the station have
also helped to increase the war service
fund.
The fund was increased yesterday by
a contribution of s25 made by employees
of the bureau of labor statistics in
memory of Mrs. Ethelbert Stewart, wife
of the chief statistfcian.
The opportunities for service for
United States soldiers and sailors, to
the allies. to the dependents and to the
devastated districts, are being present
ed by members of the District of Co
lumbia Chapter to their friends who
have not given. and many members and

their gifts.

SAYS VIRGINIA WILL HAVE
HUGE SUPPLY OF OYSTERS
Fish Commissioner Parsons Thinks
Quality of Product Will Be
of High Class.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

RICHMOND. Va, September 15.-Vir-
ginia will have oysters enough to supply
every city along the Atlantic coast, and
they will be of the same high class in
size and flavor that makes for them a
reputation the world over. Such is the
statement of Fish Commissioner Parsons.
here on business connected with that de-
partment. this week. Mr.. Parsons says
that specimens have been taken from the
beds and rocks in this state already. the
tongers having unusually large catches.
The oysters are reported to be fat and
plump and of a quality never surpassed.
There is Just one difficulty" said Mr..
Parsons. THE planters and dealers in
oysters are unable to get the help nee
esSary to get the oysters to market. They
are offering good wages and good quar-
ters for the men, with cheap living, but
the tongerS are scarce and hard to get.
Shuckers. too. are lacking, and. while
there is an abundance of the best food in
the world, the chances are that oysters
will be high because of the lack of men
to get them to the markets"
Virginia waters are filed with more fish
than has been the case for many years.
When the government began to take over
all sorts of vessels for use in connection
with the war the fish steamers went along
with many other craft. The fish factories
went out of business and the fish have not
been captured for fertilizer purposes, the
result being that the food fish, which live
on the menhaden, have returned TO Eir-
gina waters.
Fishermen have made much money this
year, with prospects brighter than for half
a century.
