Call For Women

To the Young Women OF America:
Across the sea, from France, with
every closing day Of the heroic strug-
gle of our fighting men, there comes
more imperative call to the women
Of America to assume their full share
Of responsibility in winning this world
war for the right Of men, women and
nations to live their own lives and
determine their owR fortunes.
There exists now an extreme need
for at least $4,000 women Of char
acter, intelligence, and education to
fill the gaps in our hospital staffs
caused by the ealing Of many thou
sands Of skilled nurses to the fight
ing front.
There is only one way to fill these
gaps: BY keeping our hospital train
ing schools supplied with students,
who are not only preparing for serv
ice abroad and at home at the end
Of their course and at the same time
are equipping themselves to earn
their living in enc Of the noblest Of
professions, but from the very out
set of their course are serving their
country as well as learning.

States army, the surgeon general Of

Nine Deaths Reported
From Storm Which
Centered At Lake
Charles
Gerstner Field Almost Wiped
Out--Neighboring Towns
Also Suffered Exten-
sive Damage

I Lake Charlie, La, Aug. 7.-Several
lives were lost and property damage
amounting to more than s1,0O0.OOO
was caused by the tropical storm,
which swept an area about twenty
miles wide in this section Tuesday.
Four persons, three whites and one
negro, were killed here; three persons
were killed in De Quincy; three at Sui
phur; two at Gerstner Field; seven at
other points, and many were injured
at the points and at Lockport, West
lake and other towns.
Fires broke out in many buildings,
which collapsed during the storm,
but the flames were extinguished at
many places by the hard rainfall, fol-
loing the windstorm.
At Gerstner Field, the big aviation
camp where hundreds of men are now
being trained, every hangar except
two was demolished, and the camp
was damaged severely; two at Gerst-
ner Field; seven at other points and
Lieutenant Stagler with seventy-five
soldiers, came to Lake Charles to aid
in maintaining order.
No martial law has been declared.
and Mayor Trotti announces the situ-
alton will not require any outside aid,
but tenders of help have arrived from
many points. Messages from Cover
nor Pleasant and John Marshall, Sec
retary of the State Council of De.
fense, today offered aid in any par
ticular desired.
After the wind had been high all
day, the hurricane broke suddenly
at 1880 p. m. Tuesday, velocity Of
80 miles an hour being attained. The
velocity increased to 120 miles an
hour and the territory affected was
about forty miles north and south
and thirty miles east and west Lake
Charles, Edgerly, Sulphur and Jen-
nings were damaged badly, but only
meager reports are being received.
Ryan street here is a wreck,
church being the only building left
standing. The towns largest hotel
was damaged badly and scores of
large buildings were unroofed while
hundreds of smaller ones were de-
molished.
The Pierce Oil Corporation build
ing collapsed and caught number
of persons under the debris, but their
injuries were minor. A lake steamer
was sunk by the storm, but there was
no loss Of life, passengers and crew
being landed before the full fury Of
the gale had been experienced.
Few of the streets were passable to-
day because of wreckage of homes
and buildings.
I Tangled telephone and electric
light wires were being cleared away,
but the city remained in darkness to-
night. Telephone and telegraph con-
Fnection with New Orleans had not
been restored, and word was being
taken to Lafayette for transmission
over the wires.

General Medical Board and the Wo-
mans Committee Of the Council of
National Defense therefore unite in
an earnest appeal for $4,000 young
women between the ages of 19 and
35 to enroll in what shall be called
the United States Student Nurse Re
serve. The enrolment will begin on
July 20, 1918. Those who register
in this volunteer body will engage to
hold themselves in readiness until
April l, 1919, to be assigned to train
ing schools in civilian hospitals or to
the Army Nursing School and begin
their course Of study and active
student nursing.
The service which we are asking
calls for the best that the womanhood
Of America can offer in courage, de.
votion and resourcefulness. We can
not go forward to victory oversee il
the wives and families Of our fighters
are not sustained in health and
strength, if we can not protect our
workers against the hazards of war
industries, if we can not defeat ac.
cident and disease, our enemies at
home. Upon the health Of the Amer
lean people will depend the spirit of
their forces in the field
Acting on the urgency of the need,
the above have asked the state divis-
ions Of the Woman's Committee of
the Council Of National Defense,
through their local units, to enroll
the $4,000 women needed. We ask

papers of that vicinity the reputation
of being a good roads booster and
authority Of the first grade.
Mr.. Charles Lauve, mayor of
Franklin and newly appointed road
overseer, made his first report to the
jury. In many ways it was the most
remarkable document ever presented
to that body. In very few words he
stated the road work Of the parish
was not being done efficiently and in
a very few additional words with the
aid of a few figures he stated what
should be done. He suggested the
large truck now being used to trans
port laborers to and from their work
be discontinued for that purpose and
Ford with the addition Of truck
body be substituted. Several hours
a day are lost by the former system,
stated Mr.. Lauve. He reported the
road tractor to be in bad condition
and recommended repairs to enable
it to do the work which it is capable.
He also recommended the use Of
scarifier attachment for the tractor,
asserting that much better as well as
much more work could thus be ac
complished. The figures used by Mr..
Lauve to support his assertions were
so convincing the jury with very lit
tie discussion voted that he be au;
thorized to make whatever expendi-
ture deemed necessary to place the
road work system on an efficient
basis. He also was given permission
to EMPLOY the necessary number Of
laborers and teams to continue the
work while any Of the equipment now
in use was undergoing repairs.
Another interesting report was
that. from the deputy sheriff appoint
ed shortly after the last regular meet
ing to enforce the auto DINNER and
speeding ordinances. The deputy,
Mr.. L. H. Delhaye, stated he had ar
rested eight violators of the dimming
ordinance, six had been convicted
and two cases were pending. Forty
nine speeders had been arrested, 35
convicted and IA cases pending. The
jurors smiled broadly at the conclu-
sion of the reports reading.
To meet increased expenses the
jury passed an ordinance raising the
mill tax one mill, making the tax ten
mills instead Of nine, which prevailed
last year.
As a result Of a competitive ex
animation held in Franklin last week
for scholarships to the State Univer
sity and the Southwestern Industrial
Institute, the following were elected
benefciaries: Mr.. Victor Fourmy
and Miss Hilda Larpenteur. Mr..
Fourmy will attend the state insti
tuition and Miss Larpenteur the indus
trial institute. Under the authoriza
tion Of an ordinance the jury will ap
propriate each year $3.50 for their
maintenance until they have COM
pleted their courses.
An ordinance was passed forbid
ding the driving of more than "a
head Of stock on unfenced parish high
ways. All droves must be attended
by not less than four drivers. ALL
night driving is forbidden.
The Jury d eclared the old Des-
onia road between JeaneretteA and
Scroll be abandoned and the FrereI
road be substituted.
All Of the jurors were present ex-
ccpt Mr.. j. R. Drackett who is out
Of the parish on business.
