A[G|ERS BRANCH A. R. c.

During the past week. the sewing
department of the Algiers Branch of
y. .. Chapter A. r. c., has been in
active, as the y. 0. Chapter had no
work to give out. However, next
week a new lot of work is expected,
and then all our workers will be kept
busy.
On the other hand. the knitting
class has turned out a nice lot of
sweaters, % of which were sent over
to Chapter headquarters last week,
and it is expected to send over fifteen
or more during the coming week. This
is splendid record of which we are
justly proud. Mrs. r. Whitmore and
Miss Albert, instructors of the class,
are to be congratulated on the guam
tity and quality of the work turned
out by the class. A Quantity of wool
for the making of socks has just been
received, and from now on the class
will devote all its energies to the
manufacture of socks, which are so
badly needed by our boys. The class
meets every Wednesday morning and
every Saturday afternoon
II has been decided that surgical
dressings class will meet three days
each week, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, from to p. m. Miss
Herbert, captain. and Mrs. Waller and
Mrs. O'Brien, lieutenants, will each
take charge of an afternoon. This,
of course, will not interfere in any
way with the sewing, which can be
done on these afternoons just the
same. Now that weather conditions
have improved, it is hoped the attend
ance at these classes will also i'm
prove, so that we may turn out work
in a sufficiently large quantity to be
credit to our branch. Several new
names have been added to the men,
bership and these ladies will begin
work as soon as their uniform is COM
pleted.

SCHOOL NOTES
McDONOGH NO. 4 NOTES.

Friday, Feb. 1, at $50 a. m, the
completing exercises of the Eighth
Grade A of McDonogh No. 4 were
held and twelve boys received their
Certificates of Attainment.
The Rotations, dialogues, and
songs, although very patriotic in
character, were interesting and thor
ouhly enjoyable. The school orches-
ira, composed of seven boys, rem
dered several selections, which were
highly appreciated. On the whole,
the program was carried out in a
very creditable manner.
One source of regret and disap-
pointment was the fact that Mr.. E.
w. Burgis, great friend of the boys
and their school, was unable to be
present, because of being confined to
his bed. His presence was greatly
missed, as well as his address to
the boys, which is always a very in
teresting and helpful one. We hope
to have him with us next time.
Addresses were made by the fol-
lowing well-known citizens of our
town,-Rev Sidney Vail and Messrs.
A. Hubener and Frank +. Henning,
who distributed the certificates. Rev.
Vail delivered the closing prayer.
Their talks were very instructive
and full of good, wholesome advice,
which the young of the present day
need so much.
The faculty wishes to thank these
gentlemen, not only for their pres
ence on this occasion but for their
heart-to-heart talks, which prove so
beneficial to our boys.

WAITED 25 MINUTES.

They were standing at Canal and
st. Charles streets, and this crowd
of Algerines were in a hurry to get
back to Gods country, one of them,
a heavy set, good looking gentleman
with curly hair, who has a reputa-
ton for having a good appetite, sug-
gested that in order to make good
time that they wait and take a Lou
isiana Avenue car because it would
go all the way to the ferry, and as
it was near supper time, no chances
were to be taken. 1t was agreed
and all eyes were directed toward
West End. In silence they stood I'M
til the oil man with a keen eye that
an oil man only can have, espied
something that looked like a Lou
isiana Avenue car. 1t was headed
for the river, but the puzzled express
sion on the oil mans face said that
something was wrong. The car had
two signs which denoted that it
would go in two directions. So
with Peters avenue on one end and
Louisiana avenue on the other, the
boys threw up both hands, and after
anxious looks at each other, they
decided to wait for some other car
BY this time another Algerine ar
rived and you could see he was in
hurry for he had his watch in his
hand. There was now nearly a
squad on hand and as they paced
up and down, it suggested the spirit
1776 as they were now minute men
they had waited 25 minutes already
and still had enough energy to board
the old reliable? Louisiana car as
she came to a stop. Just how late
the car No. 31S was has never been

BUTCHERS CLOSE STALLS
ON MEATLESS DAYS

Without a single dissenting voice
New Orleans butchers at mass meet
ing Friday night voted to close their
stalls Tuesdays and Fridays, begin
ming last Tuesday. as a food conserv-
alton measure. The action was taken
on their own initiative, and was die
tated by pure patriotism, which swept
all thoughts of personal loss far to
one side, and made a new record for
New Orleans. Though the meeting
was held under the auspices of the
Butchers Protective and Social I'm
ion, whose membership includes about
half the butchers of the city, there
were many non-members present, and
the resolution reflects sentiment
throughout the city, while Food Ad-
ministrator Parker pledged his efforts
to its universal observance.

LETTERS FROM THE
PEOPLE
The Herald, Algiers:

The Herald, Algiers:
During these strenuous times of
peril, war and strife, in which the
imperial German government is try
ing to gain the supremacy Of the
earth and overcome democracy, there
is nothing more important to us for
our own welfare than econmy and
thrift.
Much has been said by noted speak
ers, writer's and the government it
self about thrift and economy in the
homes, and | believe the people are
responding to their plea.
A word about the financial side OF
the situation. To wage war, money
in abundance is necessary, and where
can the United States government
get this money if not from the peo-
Pile? Therefore the Liberty Loans
and now the War Savings Movement.
Economic, be thrifty and place
every extra cent you can realize in
either Liberty Bonds or War Saw
ings Stamps.
Do not get the idea, 81 am only
one in millions, and they will not
miss what | can give or do" If
everyone thought that way it would
be the downfall of nations.
In conclusion, l sincerely hope that
the people of the United States of
America will come up to all expec-
tations in their many sacrifices
to save the great cause, democracy.
