The body Of Mrs. M. r. Blouin, who
died at her home in New Orleans
Tuesday afternoon, was brought to
Donaldsonville Wednesday on the T.
& P. train arriving here at 2 :27 p. M,
and after services ait Ascension church
was inferred in the Catholic cemetery.
Mrs. Blouin, nee Leonie Babin, was a.
native of Ascension parish, and re-
sided with her husband in Donaldson
lille up to SIX years ago, when the
family moved to New Orleans. In Oc-
tober last she was operated on at the
Hotel Dieu, but had almost complete
~ recovered from the effects of this
ordeal when on Thursday Of last week
she was stricken with an attack of
pneumonia, which resulted in her
death. She was SO years, months
and II days Of age, and was a true
Christian in the fullest sense Of the
term charitable, kindly, and forgiv-
ing, always ready to lend her assist
ance to whoever might be in need of
help, and to speak a word Of cheer
and comfort to those assaulted by life's
misfortunes or calamities. She is sur
vived by her husband, two children,
Mrs. J. M. Smith and Thomas Blouin,
Jr., of New Orleans; three brothers,
L. B. Babin, Of st. James, l.. J. B.
Babin and L. j. III. Babin, Of Donald
sonville, and two sisters, Mrs. Theo-
dule Michel, Of Gramercy, and Mrs.
Joseph Codifer, of New Orleans. The
Chief joins a host of friends here and
elsewhere in extending assurances Of
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
family.

aMother O Mine"

The Motion Picture News, a leading
| photoplay magazine, printed in re-
cent issue the following review of
this magnificent production:
g Mother o. Nine is the story O. >
mother, told in a simple, honely way
with a real, old-fashioned mother,
seventy-two years young, portraying
the title role 1t is one of those
photodramas that stirs our very souls
because it tells the story of the home
~ things of life There is human
appeal, heart interest that strikes
home. It is one that will appeal to
man, woman and child, to all classes,
to ali creeds. There is no spectacle
attempted true-to-life everyday
story of mother and son is told in a
Straightforward, unpretentious man
ner, without prejudice. The char
acter most dear to us all is there. In
Ruby La Fayette, who presents the
part of the mother, you will find an
exemplifcation of your mother-your
mother as you like to remember her.
rupert Julian and Ruth Clifford
are featured, but upon Ruby La
Fayette the eyes Of the audience will
be fixed. Without makeup without
acting this old lady carries the
mother part without affectation. Mr..
Julian directed the production. He
has given it some very human touches.
Elliott J. Clawson wrote the story.
He gave to his characters just enough
to do and no more. He has made
them do the natural thing. His story
is as homely and as life-like as the
title suggests.
sMr. Julian in the role of the son
gives a good exhibition. When he
denies his old mother it is only in
words-his heart is with her, as he
proves. The incident was well con-
ceived by the author and well staged
by the actor-director. It is a strong
anti-climax-one that impresses. At
ter the incident has passed and the son
sees his duty, we like him the more
for it. Instead of lowering the char
acter of the son in his audiences es-
timation, Mr.. Julian lifts it and we
admire the son for having overcome
strong temptation and for having
defied his friends and the world to
come between him and his mother.
E. A. Warren and Elsie Jane Wilson
carry the comedy element with hon
ors. Mr.. Warren reminds one of a
Beban. He can put over the char
acter stuff. The exterior scenes Of
suburban life disclosed some pretty
shots The lighting effects register
a good percentage. Mother o. Nine
need not hesitate to show before any
audience. All will feel it's human
touch"
stMother o. Mine" will be the fea-
ture attraction at the Gem tomorrow.

The Houma Times chronicles the
death in that town Of Widow Bannan
Darce at the advanced age of 90
years. The venerable lady was ma
tive and lifelong resident Of Terre-
bonnie parish, and her maiden name
was Honorine Lirette. Notwithstand-
ing the erroneous belief still existent
in many other states that Louisiana's
climate-and especially that Of the
southern portion Of the common
wealth-is malarial and miasmatic to
a degree initiating against heartful-
ness and longevity among our in
habitants, the fact is that in point of
average mortality and the number of
octogenarians, nonogenerians and
centenarians included in the popula-
ton, this state and section will COM
pare favorably with almost any part
of the United States.

A LEVEL-HEADED ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

The mayor of Meridian, Miss, was
recently seized with severe attack
of Sundaylawitis and proclaimed his
intention of forbidding the distribu-
ton and sale of newspapers in that
city on the Sabbath. This threatened
attempt to revive the vogue of puri-
tanical ideas and so-called stblue
laws" was checkmated, however,
through the prompt action of Editor
James A. Metcalfe of the Meridian
Dispatch, who called the matter to the
attention of Attorney General Col
Inns of Mississippi, eliciting from that
official the following terse and we'll
grounded opinion:
"You may publish and distribute
your paper on Sunday without violat-
ing the Mississippi Sunday law. While
the law does not in terms exempt the
publishing and delivering of news
papers, still this section provides that
matters of ordinary necessity can be
carried on without violating the law.
and it is foolish in this enlightened
age to say that the Sunday newspa-
per is not a necessity
As the New Orleans Daily States,
in commenting on this Mississippi in
cident, cogently says, without news
papers the worlds whole machinery
would be disorganized;" and there
will be little dissent among the sane
and well-balanced people of this en-
lightened nation from the proposition
that the newspaper is among the in
dispensable necessities of every in
telligent home and community, par
ticularly in such a momentous crisis
as the pending war has brought upon
humanity, and that the Sunday issue
of the daily paper can no more be
spared than that of Monday or any
other day of the week.

THE DISCUSSION RESUMED.

Elsewhere in today's Chief we
print several communications ON the
subject of teachers salaries, in, reply
to the point raised by Taxpayer y
Because of lack of space in our edi-
ton of Dec. %, and through an over
sight on the part Of our makeup man
last week, publication of these inter-
esting dissertations has been deferred
until this issue. Together they con-
stitute an effective rejoinder to s'Tax-
payers contentious, and present
numerous convincing arguments as to
why teachers salaries should be rails
ed. We regret the delay that has en-
sued in the publication Of the letters,
and take pleasure in bringing about
a resumption of the timely and valua-
BILE discussion.
