kNIGHTHOOD IS in
FLOUR SAVING NOW
LOUISIANA SETS SOME FINE Ex.
AMPLES OF PATRIOTISM.
Conventions Next Week to Aid.

| The United States Food Admins
tration continues to make the saving
OF wheat flour the supreme test Of
the peoples cooperation in winning
the war. 1T has temporarily sus-
pended meatless days in order to con-
centrate on wheat. Every day is
wheatless day and every ounce saved
will count large during the next four
months.
Theodore Grunewald and Alfred S.
Amer, leading hotel men of New Orr
| leans, attended the division confer
ence at Washington and were among
those who voluntarily took the pledge
to entirely and completely bar wheat
from their establishments. Their ex-
ample will be followed by other ho-
ttels in the state, many of which have
already worked out bread and pastry
formulas without wheat These con-
servation foods have surprised the
public palate and have become so
popular that it is predicted they will
permanently replace wheat products.
The hqeel men have called con-
vention to be held in New Orleans
Monday and Tuesday, and John Nee.
Bowman, of New York, national
chairman, and a number of other
leaders will attend 1t is expected to
make the event very important to the
food cause, and, for that reason, the
food administrators of the south
eastern states have been asked to
come and bring along their state ho-
tel chairmen. A very instructive ex-
hibit of conservation methods and re-
suits, which has figured at several re-
played by Mr.. Bowman.
John NJ Parker, food administrator
for Louisiana, decided that the
gathering of the hotel men would be
an advantageous time for con-
ference of the district and parish food
administrators These have been do
ing excellent work, and it is proposed
to obtain the benefit of their ex-
periences and views SO as to system
atize their activity and make it still
more effective for the general good.
Last week closed with two more
penalties inflicted upon profiteers,
Morris & Company, New Orleans, had
it's license suspended for week for
charging more than the legal margin
Of profit on corn goods. Another
firm was permitted to contribute
$500 to the Red Cross for technical I
violation of the rule against averag-
ing prices Oh particular commodity.

The design for the button will De
slightly different from the two preeed-

words, ''Third Liberty Loan," also IN
white.
In addition to the subscribers but

DIVIDED SESSIONS PROPOSED.


In letter addressed to parish SUI
perintendents, State Superintendent
Harris suggests that the public schoo
session for country schools be divided
into two periods, embracing respect
lively the months Of June, July, Au-
gust and September, and the months
of December, January, February and
March. This arrangement would re-
suit in two vacation periods, one dur
ing October and November and the
other during April and May, each
covering nine weeks.
Despite the fact that the divided
session has been reported on unfavor-
ably in several of the few parishes
where it has been tried-though other
/ parishes which have tested the plan
are as emphaticzin its favor as these
are against it-Superintende Harris
suggests it's user now as probably the
most effective method of combating
the present tendency to close the rural
schools early in the year, and of pro-
viding means whereby the pupils of
such schools can be useful in farm or
other agricultural work.
"The children are needed during
October and November to harvest the
crops, and during April and May to
plant and cultivate the crops" says
Superintendent Harris.
"The principal objection to the
scheme is that the same corps of
teachers cannot be held for the diff
ferent terms Of the session This is
q fatal objection if it cannot be over
come"
The farmers require, will continue
to require and should require their
older children to assist in making and
harvesting the crops, Mr.. Harris
points out. Much Of the session of
the country schoolsis of no value to
many pupils because they do not at
tend during the first and last part of
the session. About thirty-two weeks |
is as long a session as can be success
fully conducted in the average coun-
try school, and a continuous session |
of that length is impossible.
Concerning teachers contracts un-
der such a scheme, Superintendent |
Harris makes the following sugges-
tions:
"1. Specify ii the contracts the
months of the session the teacher is
to teach.
.e2. Stipulate inthe contract that
the salary Of the last two weeks or
month Of the first term will be paid
the first day of the second term, and
that the teacher who fails to report
for the second term, without release
from the board, will forfeit the with
held salary
t'33 Adopt, if zth Il funds are suf-
ficient, the salary schedules recon-
nended BY the W I'll nee ofs Ianasny
IL, which iasdi salary
increases for successfu q teachers who
remain in the same positions from
year to year. s
Superintendent Harris asks for the
views of the parish superintendents
on these matters. and for suggestions
from any who might have what they
consider a better scheme for solving
the problem.

"The Spv."

No photoplay Of recent production
has attracted as much notice or been
more favorably received throughout
the country than 'The Spy" thrill
ing six-part story of the German Sc
cret service, which the Grand an
nounces as it's offering for Tuesday.
Dustin Farnum is the leading player.
In the role of Mark Qpaintance, an
American of means, who goes to Ber-
lin to learn if possible the identity of
the German spies in the United States,
he does some of his best screen work.
The picture interests from the be-
ginning. This is due not only to the
patriotic angle, the volunteering of
Quaintance, clubman, to do what
ever his country may require, but the
love theme following upon the acci-
dental bringing together of the Amer
s4iaan spy and Greta Glaum, the sae-t
complice of the Germans, who has
been set to watch the doings of
Quaintance. In the latter role Wini-
fred Kingston shines. She displays
marked intelligence and rare charm.
That she should repudiate her harsh
masters for the sake of the young
American is entirely logical-even to
going the limit, that of sharing death
with him at the end.
'The Spy" is picture Of power as
well as of timeliness. It will much
please the average American who is
not overconcerned as to the feelings
of those who are Germans first and
nothing else afterwards. The author
and the director are to be congratu-
lated on having the courage to give
the ending that is the logical one
the shooting of the spy and his aid.
For such is life-and war. Of big
scenes there are many, scenes that
thrill; and of tender scenes there are
many, too, scenes that move.
After viewing this magnificent pic
ture, Dorothy Dix wrote the following
letter to William Fox, the producer:
s'Thank you very much for the
pleasure you gave me in inviting me
to see the first run of your gripping
new drama, The Spy 1t is the La
Tosca' Of the films, so terrible and
thrilling in it's climax that I felt as if
I could scarcely endure it, and yet
wild horses could not have torn me
away from it. n
I'm The spy you haVe'uone more
than make an interesting play. You
have rendered the country great pa
triotic service, for it's propaganda is
of the kind that will go straight to
every heart and stir every latent
drop of patriotism in it.

"a Daughter of France"

Virginia Pearson will be seen at the
Grand Friday in ga Daughter of
France" story of love and war be-
hind the German lines that differs
from the usual war play. Louise de
Ciron refuses to leave her chateau
when the Germans come and present
ly the enemy have occupied the town.
Rudolph Won Korr, in command OF the
Teutonic troops, makes love to Louise,
but she repulses his advances. Fritz,
a Frenchman, seeks to take advantage
of Louise while she is unconscious
and is discovered and killed by Ru-
dolph. Believing that Fritz was
killed in the defense of her honor,
Louise wounds Rudolph, but nurse1
him back to health in remorse for he
action. Louise's brother, Paul, sends
for her and this leads to most un-
expected climax.

"The Witch Woman"

Ethel Clayton has seldom been seen
in a role which fitted her dainty per-
sonality so perfectly as that of Marie
Beaupre in "The Witch Woman
which comes to the Grand Thursday.
The story contains many pathetic
touches, and Miss Clayton's portrayal
of the poor little Marie, when, crazed
by misfortune, she lives alone in the
mountain cave, is remarkably
strong, convincing piece of work and
an undeniable proof Of the leading
lady's emotional ability. Later, un-
der happier circumstances, she be-
comes a graceful, alluring figure in
society circles,

"The Warrior"

"The Warrior.''
AS its feature attraction for today
and tomorrow, the Gem will present
"The Warrior" magnificent screen
spectacle abounding in thrills, laughs
and absorbing human interest. Ma
ciste, the giant hero of "Cabiria," is
featured in the production, and ac-
cording to the New York World, "to
say that he out-Fairbanks Douglas
Fairbanks is to put it mildly" The
story simply duplicates the actual ex-
periences through which the Hercu-
lean Italian soldier-actor passed at
the outbreak of hostilities. With sew
eral companions, Maciste was on the
wrong side of the border when war
was declared, The Italians were
placed in a detention camp. Ma
ciste overpowered the guards, led his
companions to safety, and after many
thrilling adventures joined one Of the
brave bands of A1pinos fighting in
the mountain fastnesses to keep the
world safe for democracy. The
strong strain of delightful comedy
which the film contains is particularly
attractive to the ,&entler sex, while
the virile manhood of Maciste in his
daring exploits in the Alps will reach
the hearts of red-blooded masculinity.

"Wild Youth"

The Grand announces as it's feature
attraction for Sunday J. Stuart Black
toms superb perturbation Of Sir Gil
bert Parker's famous novel, "Wild
YOUTH" with Louise Huff and Theo-
dore Roberts in the leading roles.
The story deals with the familiar call
Of youth for youth, and proves that
the drawing together of people of
about the same age work. has surely as
that gravitation pulls the apple from
the tree. 1t is the story of young
girl married to an old man who alb
uses her, and how she is saved after a
runaway accident by young neigh
Dor. There exists between them, un-
acknowledged even to themselves, a
sort of tacit understanding, a SYM
pathy, unspoken, unobserved, yet
strong in itself. Matters seem mex
tricably tangled when quick turn of
fate leaves the girl a widow, and the
story has very happy ending.
