DRILL COMPANY FORMS
PERMANENT ORGANIZA-
TION

The members of the drill company had
a busy session last night. The program
consisted of an unusually long and stiff
period of calesthenie exercises, bust
ness meeting and forty-fve minutes of
drill At the business meeting num-
Der Of interesting things was done, the
most important of which was the election
of non-commissioned line officers. By
unanimous vote Lieutenant Mulhali was
elected commanding officer and instruct
or. The purpose of this meeting was to
affect permanent organization.
The following men were elected to
on-commissioned offices with the under
standing that military regulations would
prevail and if satisfactory service is not
given the officers are to lose their jobs:
C. P. Lynch, first sergeant; H. B. Rule,
second sergeant; P. G.. O'Brien, third
sergeant; A. K. White, fourth sergeant;
George s. O'Brien, A. B. O'Brien, H. K
Settler, K. R. Hood, W. R. Jackson, H.
L. Jolley and Sol Loeb, corporals.
1t was the opinion of the men that
some kind of a uniform should be adopt
ed. To provide funds for this purpose it
was suggested that dance be staged.
The possibilities of this suggestion will
be worked out later.
AS demonstration of the earnest
spirit possessed by the members, brief
talk by Sergeant Lynch regarding the
Importance of full attendance at all
drills and special occasions was followed
by motion that every member reprot
ed absent at any of these events be as
sessed cash fine. This provoked con-
siderable discussion and the motion was
finally tabled for future action.
A complete roster of all members,
made up from the names of those pres
ent last night, was made. Those old
members who were absent will have their

New Act Requires Operators To
Satisfy Police Jury They
Are Physically Fit And
Competent Chauffuers

Under a recent act of the Legislature
owners of automobiles operated for pub
lie hire must adhere to certain definite
regulations to obtain licenses for such
service.
The new legislation prescribea that
operators of iitneys, taxis, etc, must pro-
cure from the police jury of the parish
in which they reside, certificates as to
their ability and skill as drivers. They
must also show their physical fitness and
proper eyesight and hearing by a sworn
certificate by reputable physician
These certificates must accompany the
application for permit. The law APP
plies to drivers Of all ears operated for
profit, whether the car is used for the
transportation of passengers or freight.
All motor-driven vehicles coming nm
der the provisions Of this act must dis
play on the wind shield in plain view
the words: "'Service Car
Hereafter it will be unlawful for the
owner or operator of any service car
designed for five persons to carry more
than four adult passengers, or in any
case more passengers than for which the
ear is designed. The last clause of this
section states that no more passengers
shall be carried than can be seated COM
fortably.
Owners of such cars must procure
indemnity bonds with good and solvent
surety with the obligation running in
favor of any person who may be injured
in person or property due to the negli-
gence of the driver. The amount of this
bond is placed at $4,000 and an ad-
ditional sum Of $500 for each passenger
over four in number. The amount of the
bond in each individual case will be based
upon the carrying capacity of the car
as shown by the sworn application for
license filed with the clerk of the police
jury.
Every service car must be equipped
with speedometer in open view and
when any service car is being driven in
excess of that allowed by law and an ac-
cident or mishap occurs which results in
the injury or death of any passenger,
the fact that such car was driven at an
unlawful speed shall be prima facie evil
dence the accident was caused by the
negligence of the driver.
The bill provides a penalty not ex-
ceeding $500 or ninety days in Jail for
every case wherein the provisions of this
act have been violated.

sterling actress saves the family from
financial disaster by the use of her social
prestige and her own lovableness-and

stage masterpiece, where she also plays
the name part and visualizes that pioneer
woman who wins success in her chosen
field but must struggle against Puri-
tanical parental authority for the right
to live her life as she sees fit.
Then there was the quartet of famous
American characters, whose popularity
was strengthened and prolonged through
their screen creation by Clara Kimball
Young.
Laura Murdoch in 1.-the Easiest
Way the dramatic hit by Eugene Wal
ter, which tells the story of a young
actress who, to secure an engagement, ae-
cepts the influence of wealthy man and
pays the traditional price.
Mildred Cover, the heroine of David
Graham Phillips chest seller novel,
''The Price She Paid, fulfils the dream
Of every maid and meets her prince OF
finance, only to find that the price paid
for her is as nothing compared TO the
price she has to pay.
Mary Adams, in "The Foolish Viz
GIN" by Thomas Dixon, finds that life
is built not on airy romance but is - rea!
and earnest;' her establishment, how
ever, is finally succeeded by the redemp-
ton of the man she loves.
Valerie West, the philosophic artist
model of "The Common Law by that
tremendously popular novelist Robert w.
kkambers, "a living personiieation of
sweet womanhood, who energies trlum-
plant in the winning Of her lovers heart.
Then came those truly great classics
of the literary and dramatic field: "Trii-
by,' George Du Maurier' immortal fig
ure of the noble, unspoiled girl who be-
came the tool of the malevolent Sven
gall; and Camille Alexander Dumas ;
neverto- beforgotten long sufferinfi hero
inc, made famous by the portrayals of
Duse Rachel and Sarah Bernhard.
And now comes Miss Young's latest
production for Seleet-a perturbation of
"The House of Glass; which will be
shown here at the Opera House tomor-
row; and in which she portrays the role
of Margaret Case, he luckless heroine
who wins "place in the sum- after
many years in the shadow of fear of the
police because of conviction for COM
plicity in a theft of which she was alto
gether guiltless.
An enviable record, indeed, and one
which fully explains the remarkable sue
cess of Clara Kimball Young and the
high anticipation enjoyed by the count
less film fans who look with eagerness
for pictures starring this superb artistic
of the screen.
