A Social Event

The Special meeting Of the Civic
League held on Friday, Dec. 18th
at the home of Mrs. C. Jolley, prov
ed very enjoyable event.
Owing to the bad weather, only
small number were in attendance
The President, Mrs. J. Vanderbilt
announced the occasion of the gath
ering, and expressed in a few appro.
pirate words that the members wish
ed to pay tribute to Mrs. A. F.
Storm, who has for the past years
so efficiently served the club as
President, and presented Mrs. Storm
with a beautiful wrist watch in the
name Of the members.
Mrs. Storm, much surprised, re-
ceived the token, and responded in
her usual amiable manner.
It was with regret the Organiza-
tion accepted Mrs. Storms decline
for reelection in October, but we
as a club deemed it an honor to re-
lease her from local duties that
she might fill her state office as
President of the Womans Federated
Clubs as efficiently as she has filled
minor offices heretofore.
The afternoon was spent in social
intercourse, and delicious refresh
ments were served, which was en-
joyed by all.
(Signed) A MEMBER.

hsh ports the world over were
open freely to German ships to
come and go and trade at will,
England herself bought from
Germany annually millions of
dollars worth of German-made
goods in excess of what Ger
many bought from England.
Germans in England were as
free to work, travel, sell goods
as any Englishman, while the
Englishman in Germany was
subject to constant surveillance
and in arriving at a German city
must first of all file a lengthy
report containing a personal his
tory, the nature Of his errand
there, and how many days he in
tended to remain in that place
AS we all know, it was a oues-
tion Of honor and not necessity
which brought England into the
war Immediately. She, too, with
the exception of strong navy
was entirely unprepared, and
the world will never cease to
owe a debt of gratitude to those
brave men, who with only scanty
supplies and scantier ammuni-
ton, held, actually by a thread,
and at awful cost Of life, the Hun
line, while an army was gather
ed and munition works were be-
ing built. But for the English
navy, the war would have end
ed very differently. But for En-
glish ships, also only 80 per
cent Of our troops could have
reached France.
Of all the great things of the
war, none is greater than the
magnificent loyalty of the En-
glish colonies to the mother
country. While they might have
remained aloof, without a mo-
ment's hesitation they unitedly
and heartily rallied to her aid.
OF their best of life and treasure
they sent from far-distant lands
and climes. freely, voluntarily,
uncomplainingly. It was a
grand spectacle; a mighty tri-
butte.
Because no press bureau was
maintained to keep us constant

CAPT. PRITCHARD TELLS
OF RED CROSS Work..

Capt. A. C. Pritchard of til,
English army spoke at the Opera
House and at the Arcade Theatre
last night. He had also spoken
to the workers at the shipyard
yesterday at noon. The Captain
carried an appeal to the people
of Morgan City to respond gen
erously to the Red Cross Christ
mas Roll Call.
Captain Pritchard opened his
talk by telling of two little tots
back home in old England. who,
when they knelt each night to
pray, always said God bless
America" He mentioned that
another little tot would soon be
saying the same over there as
soon as she was old enough to
pray. His talk was interpersed
with a few humorous tales, and
unlike the usual Britisher's story,
they were quite laughable.
He told of the suffering mil
lions in France and Belgium; of
the needy right here at home; of
the many who would not enjoy
this great Christmas. "By CIV
ing to the Red Cross" he said.
you are helping to relieve all of
these sufferers. The war isn't
over; ;and if it were over, it's
aftermath has to be overcome.
I call upon all of you to join the
Red Cross and give your town a
100 per cent membership"
Capt. Pritchard is travelling
under the auspices of the Speak
ers Bureau of the Red Cross. He
was to speak in Lake Charles
today, but the engagement had
to be cancelled, due to prevalence
of influenza.

ELDRIDGE'S BOOK
WINS HIGH PRAISE.
Principles Upon Which Successful
Advertising is Done.

The second edition of Making Ad.
vertising Pay" by H. F. Eldrige, Of

State, is just coming from the press.
A review by Theodore H. Price in
the current issue of Commerce and
Finance, New York, says:
Making Advertising Pay" by Har
old T. Eldridge, contains so MANY
practical hints and suggestions that
it proves its right to the title.
1t is a compilation of methods and
experience records drawn from many
sources, with comment on the varioua
phases Of advertising by recognized
authorities.
Books on advertising frequently
deal in an abstract way with the
problems of the retail and wholesale
merchant making Advertising Pay"
gives specific concrete problems and
shows logical ways to solve them.
In the foreword Mr.. Eldridge says:
This book is an attempt to place be-
fore merchants, business men and in
experienced or prospective advertis-
ers the basic principles upon which
successful advertising must be built .
Most readers will agree that he has
accomplished his purpose.
The book is divided into the fol-
lowing sections:
l. The economic and social side Of
advertising.
g. Advertising for the wholesaler
and manufacturer.
3. How successful retailers get re-
suits from advertising.
4. Analysis of the psychological
task of advertising.
