war WORK WILL Be
TAUGHT AT NIGHT
SCHOOLS IN CITY

Registration Of night school stud
ents will be held on October 1 and 2.
Phillip e. Molter, vocational director
announced Thursday
At war conference which was held
at the Claypool Hotel Wednesday and
which Mr.. Molter attended, ]. p. Mon
roe spoke on the need of trained me-
chanics in France for the coming
drive.
He stated that there will be a need
for million and half mechanics in
the next few months and the only
way to get the men is to start night
schools over the country. There are
but 100000 men that can be secured
from the colleges and there are about
10000 more left to train. II these
men are taken from industry there
will be great lack of men and this
will slow up the war program, he
stated.
He suggested that night schools be
formed for men of draft age but that
older men who are trained mechanics
be allowed to enroll The most urgent
need is for tractor men, gas engine
men. machinist repairmen, woodwork
ers, sheet metal workers, electricians,
welders and blacksmiths.
The night school here will have the
following war courses: Telephoning,
radio buzzer work, bla cksmithing, ma
chine shop work, woodworking, draft
ing and automobile ignition.
Besides these courses there are SO
others and courses will be offered in
any subject for which there is any
demand.
Mr.. Molter was the head of the
gunsmiths' school at Indianapolis and
all the schools held there in this line
were organized and directed by him.

Gladys Brockwell has her own place
in the hearts Of moving picture lovers.
The brilliant William. Fox star does
things that no one else can do SO we'll,
and she does them in a way that no
one else would do them.
Primarily she is a beautiful woman
of dramatic instinct and sensibility.
She is consummate actress who is
ever pleasing in her work, and always
convincing. She can show the terrible
and desperate creature who knows no
mercy and is capable of wrecking
mems lives to add an ounce of pleas
ure to her own. She can be the
heartless wanton that belongs to the
same class as the deadly vampire
The souls of men are to her but trivial

Such woman as this does she por-

play, "The Bird of Prey" in which she
is the star. At the Murrette today.

ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE.
Refused a Furlough, Manuel Ourso
Starts for Home Anyhow.

AS a result of taking French leave
of his company as it was about to
embark for France, Manuel Ourso,
aged 23 years, of Ascension parish,
spent Monday night in police station
in New Orleans and the following
morning was turned over to the army
authorities at Jackson Barracks.
Ourso is a native Of Brusly Mccall,
and enlisted at Camp Nichols last
summer, later being assigned to Com
pany L, First New Hampshire In
fantry. Just before his regiment was
to leave for overseas service, he says,
he received a letter from his sister,
Mrs. Madora Ruiz, of Brusly Mccall,
which stated that his brother, Desire
Ourso, was seriously i'll at home He
declares that he applied for a fur
Tough, which was denied, and that he
then departed from camp without it.
While en- route to New Orleans
three soldiers boarded the train in
North Carolina and they asked Ourso
for his pass, which he could not pro-
duce. They placed him under arrest
and when the train arrived in New
Orleans late Monday night he was
turned over to the police.
Ourso's stoey as to the letter from
his sister is corroborated by an older
brother, Martin Ourso, who asserts
that despite his earnest advice and
protest, Mrs. Ruiz wrote the young
soldier not one but several letters, all
of a nature calculated to cause much
mental distress to the far-away re-
cipient.
So far as our knowledge extends,
no authentic information has been re-
ceived here as to what punishment
has been or will be meted out to
Private Ourso, but under the circum-
stances it is surmised that he will be
charged with nothing more serious
than absence without leave and dis
ciplined accordingly.
