BIBLE ON HIS SIDE
 BUT COURT ON HERS
Mosaic Law Reversed and Woman
 Collects $5,OOO

Jersey City, x. J., March 22.-lt is ordered in the 25th chapter of Dcuter- 0nomy:
 If brethren dwell together And one of them die and have no child, the wife of tho dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her hus- a1d's brother SNall take her to him
 . wife.
 And if the man like not to take y s brothers wife. then let his brothers wife go up to the gate unto the elders and say, My husband s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of my husband s brother
 Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak unto him, and il he stand to it and say, I like not to take her;
 Then shall his brothers wife come unto him in the presence of the elders and loose his shoe from off his foot and shall spit in his face and say So shall it be done to unto that man that will not build up his brothers house
 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath nlS shoe lOOSed.
 So stood the law in those days, but it prOtited not LCuiS Fialk yester- day in the supreme court, Jersey City, where Justice William II. Speer and a jury Were the elders. The Mosaic law was reversed and the jury award ed about 1000 silver shekels to Mrs. Annie F'einberg, a widow, who had sued F'ial1 for s50,0O0 for breach of promise of marriage, That is, the jury ordered Fialk to pay S5,0O0 to Mrs. Feinberg. A silver shekel, it is esti- mated, was worth about 72.50 cents, but money had ten times as much purchasing power in the days Of Moses as now. The cost of living Was extremely low then.
 1t was proved to the satisfaction of the elders yesterday that Mrs. Fein- berg, a childless widow, came from Russia four years ago. She pitched her tent t 303 Third street, Jersey City. Fialk, a contracting painter of 67S Newark avenue, courted her and they became engaged early last spring. got q marriage license in April 1918. Being an orthodox Jew he did not marry Mrs. Feinberg then because his wife had not been dead 8 year and, as he understood it, tho Mosaic law required him to wait a year before taking Q second wife.
 But before the year was up Fiall1 got another license and consulted Rabbi Rosenberg as to the religious propriety of taking another wife unto himself before twelvemonth of mourning had expired.
 To his surprise Rabbi Rosenberg told Fialk that Feinberg's bachelor brother was living in Russia. The rabbi quoted the 23th chapter of Deuteronomy to Fialk and it was all off as Pharoah said when the tenth plague smote Egypt.

OF NATIONS
 " UNDER DISCUSSION
Neutrals Consider Especially Phases in Reference to the Use
 of Force.

Paris, March 21 (Iavas. )-DeIe- gates to the conference of neutrals devoted considerable time today to the discussion of the article of the League of Nations covenant which provides for coerci1e measures gainst a state breaking relations with the league without submitting it's griev- ances to the executive body of the league. Amen dlnentS were prepared stipulating that force might be used only in case of necessity that it might be brought to bear only after eco- homie pressure had been insufficient ana that small states might decline to take warlil1e steps.
 Lord Robert Cecil, who presided said that if small states were allowed 10 refrain from military action, the forces of other states should be given permission 10 pass over their terri tories.
 Premier Nenizelos, of Greece, de- clared Incidentally during the discus sion that purely defensive alliances would be allowed under the League of Nations covenant.
 The principle t0At armam ents should be reduced to q minimum was recognized by the conference.

RUSSIANS HABITS
 AMUSE AMERICANS
Yankees, BilIeted With Private
 People, See Queer Sights

With American Troops in North
 Russia March 21 Correspondence of The Associated Press. )--T.lo habits and customs of the North Russian peasant are sources of unceasing won~
 der to tho American soldier. The peasants are primitive and are con- tent to reside where the average
 American housewife would roll up
 scru'bbing before she would live. In
 these wooden or log huts hundreds of Yankee infantrymen and engineers are billeted this winter.
 The Americans, generally spea king occupy onc-half of the house and the family the other. The Americans half is as clean as constant polio ing" can mako it. But as for the other half, there are chickens, "husky'' dogs of the Arctic type, and from two to four generations of peas ants wandering more or less miscel- laneousy about their one or two rooms
 But they keep the chickens cooped
 
 i Michigan. private told The Associated l Press correspondent. You see," he added, they only let them out in the m forming to police the kitchen. That's easier than sweeping out"
 1 The Russian family's side of all of these houses is alright It is bitter ly cold up hero in the forests during
 the six months winter, and the peas
 ant doesn't believe in wasting heat
 His windows are sealed up tight and
 never, never opened. He docsn't t mind the resultant odor.
 But the American does, and opens the windows in his side of the house. and the peasant shakes his head gravelN and worries for fear his stWnge khaki-clad guests will catch ] cold. But the American doesn't catch l cold and neither does the peasant, for ] that matter. in his airtight rooms. l Both systems seem to work equally 1 well. Since the cold weather has really set in. the soldier and civilian 1 populations havO both been surprs- ] ingly healthy.
 1 One peasant habit which the Amer 1 ican makes countless jokes about is ! as time honored and unswervable
 among the Russians as it is strange 1 to the Americans. That is, sleepin g
 on the stove. The Russian village
 stoves are built of brick or clay or 1 porcelain. They are about as large
 as an ordinary American bathroom and flat on top, except where the
 brick chimney polles through. One
 stokes them once or twice d day until 1 all the wood. is burned out, and then
 closes them np, letting the heated 1 bricks radiate their warmth. The flat
 tops of these stoves are bed spaces,
 for the eldest or most honored of tho families. American officers have 1 surprised many peasant hosts by de- clining Invitations to use these ] choicest of all beds.

The New Iberia Post Office,
under the supervision of Mr.. Silvio
Broussard succeeded in winding
|np one Of the heaviest deliveries
in the history of Uncle Sam 3
postal business in New Iberia.
Not a single letter or Christmas
package ON Friday morning but
what had found its place with the
rightful party and Postmaster
Broussard and his entire force de-
serve the commentator OF the
community for the painstaking
and business-like manner in which
the public is being served under
his administration. There was
not 8 single hold-over at the close
of business yesterday morning and
it goes to show what organized
system means in a department as
extensive as the postal service.
Since his appointment as Post
master Of New Iberia, Mr.. Brous-
sard has devoted his best energies
to the parcel delivery service, in
fact there are sections Of the Par
ish now enjoying this great con-
yenience. that. were it not for
fim, very rrohsEly would be de-
MED such IN accommodation. It
remains now for the business
houses in New iberia to take adj
santiago Of the rural delivery 90
that instead Of goods being sup.
tlied our country residents from.
Eastern houses! we will get the
benefit Of It. Mr.. Broussard is
nov endeavoring to get the terri
tory extended to JeBerson's Is
land and We hope he will be sue
cessful.

The time is RAPIDLY approat

The time is rapidly approach
ing when the citizens Of the Par
ish will be called upon to select
officials to represent us in the
next Senate. In the race, aside
from the aspirants outside Of the
Parish. is our own fellow-citizen,
Judge Ventress J. Smith. Where
there are two to be chosen for the
same office it is encumbent upon
each voter to cast his ballot for
two, otherwise the ballot insofar
as this particular Office is con-
cerned will be lost completely. To
those who are anxious to see Ibe-
ria have representation in that
Body through the election Of Mr..
Smith, it is well for them to bear
this in mind and not attempt to
single-shot h s name. Lafayette
has as its standard bearer the
present incumbent Senator Do
mengeaux, while st. Martin s
candidate is Senator Simmons.
You must vote for two.
