MAYOR ASKS FORD TO
BUILD SHIPS HERE,

An effort to induce Henry Ford,
automobile manufacturer, to select
site in New Orleans for his pro-
posed shipbuilding plant is being
made by Mayor Behrman.
Hearing that Mr.. Ford proposed
entering the shipbuilding business,
the mayor Saturday morning sent
him a telegram in which he dwelt
upon the unsurpassed facilities Of
fered by New Orleans for such a
plant.
The mayor assured Mr.. Ford that
he would aid him in every way pos
sible should he decide to erect the
plant and docks here.
1T would be a big thing for both
New Orleans and Mr.. Ford should
he decide to come here, / feel sure
that if the facilities offered by New
Orleans are Investigated they will be
found better than in any port OF
the country" was the declaration
made by Mayor Bebrman after send
ing the telegram to the Detroit man
ufacturer.

EXTENDED HOLIDAY TO
CONSERVE COAL
DENIED BY BOARD

No extended holiday to save coal
at this time was the decision of the
School Board taken Friday night
when the suggestion to close the
schools for a week longer to save
coal was made.
President Capdau said that while
there was no official communication
before the board it had been sug-
gested that to conserve coal the
schools might be closed for a week
1t was discussed and decided that
the amount of coal that would be
saved in a week, even If the weather
be severe, would not be more than
about 500 worth, but, on the other
hand, the pay rolls would have to
be adjusted, and then, too, in June
when it is proposed to make up the
lost time, the weather might be ex-
ceedingly warm and there would be
clamor to close the schools. II
also was suggested that while coal
might be saved in school there would
be more burned in the homes with
the children there. 1t was agreed
however, that if conditions should
develop a more pressing need tt
save coal that the vacation could
better be given just after the Febru
airy promotions and the beginning
of the following term, when the
weather might be much more severe
and it may be considered then.

MASKING PROHIBITED

Mayor Behrman announced We'd
nesday he will issue a proclamation
in few days to prohibit any mask
ing on Mardi Gras Day, February
II. The suggestion was made to
the mayor by w. o. Hart and T. p.
Thompson of the New Orleans BIZ
centennial committee, Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Hart said he believed
masking should be prohibited as it
might give an opportunity for enc
mics to work destruction under the
protection of a carnival disguise and
that incendiaries and possibly as
sassins might take advantage of the
opportunity.
The mayor agreed it will be a
dangerous liberty to permit masking
while the war is on and promised to
issue the proclamation. instructions
will be given to the police to enforce
the mandates of the mayor.
A suggestion had been made fol
promiscuous nia asking IN connection
with the bicentennial celebration
but the committee, at a meeting
some weeks ago, eliminated the
proposition.

First knowledge of what kinds OF
soil underlie the region around Oak

been obtained, according to engi-
neers, through the sinking of a well
at Oak Point in efforts to develop
a commercial gas we'll. The log
of the well-the well digger's note
book-shows some surprising facts,
it was asserted Thursday by the ifs
cal agent of the company, and which
is developing the properties at Oak
Point.
Presence of clay near the surface
where we sank this first we'll indi-
dates that this particular spot is not
alluvial," Mr.. Hughes stated. 1--WE
found oil rock, too, and numerous
strata of shale. The oil rock, show
ing both oil and gas, was first struck
at a depth of 1870 feet. There was
frequent variation between gumbo
sand and shale, with many strata Of

AUTO OWNERS WARNED

With an average of fifty cases a
day of automobile owners who viO-
late the traffic ordinance relative to
parking in front of fire plugs re-
ported. Notwithstanding repeated
personal warnings by the police, Su-
perintendent Mooney announced Sat
urday that affidavits would follow in
future cases. Mr.. MONEYS state
ment follows:
There is an average of fifty cases
per day reported to me of automo-
bilists violating the law by obstruct-
ing fire plugs through the city. The
ordinance states that no car should
be parked at a closer distance from
fire plug than twenty feet.
ITO block a fire plug is an ex'
tremely dangerous practice. In case
of a fire, and with automobiles sc
parked that the engines cannot east
ly reach the fire plugs, it may be the
cause of some large and disastrou:
cor flagrations and possibly loss O
life"
