To smoke or not TO smoke-that
Is the burning question.
Oh, Of course 1 am talking about
women.
How many women do you know
who smoke? That depends upon
where you live.
In most Of the big American cities
and IN every city and town in Eu-
rope many Of the women you know
do smoke. Grandma lights a
match and holds up her cigarette 10
little granddaughter TO give her q
light and nobody is in the least
amazed or shocked.
In Paris and in London smoking
is quite an understood thing for
wOmen-English and French wom-
en- of the upper classes have smoked
for years-but it took the American
Sirls TO go over there and begin
smoking in the streets, and some
how / could never get used to the
idea

Ohio and tall Mary Somebodyelse
from Indiana walking down Pic
cadilly. both smoking away like
cowboys. must confess 1 was a
trifle startled.
My. how the world turns round,
Just as we were reading that some
big corporations had stopped en-
nloying men who smoked cigarettes,
the war broke out and we all began
TO raise money TO send cigarettes 10
the boys in the army. And now
since the girls have gone abroad
some of them have got the habit
themselves, and within a year or so
it may be quite as common to see
girls smoking as boys.
] wonder what the effect is going
to he. somehow ] can't believe it
will De good Too many cigarettes
are bad for men-there's no doubt
III the world about that. And wom-
en- are supposed 10 have more del
icate organic nervous system than
men.
Then how about the new children
are they going to come into the
world saturated with tobacco, and,
If they are. is it going to be good
for them? OF course. you can't eX-
pect the average girl TO think of
this, because what she thinks of is
whether it is gong to be tine thing"
or not. And if il is she's going TO
smoke no matter what IL does to
the coming generation.
Is it going TO be the thing" in

DISASTER RELIEF
PLAN PERFECTED
American Red Gross to Pre-.
vide Local Help.
Committees Soon To Be APP.
pointed in Many Com
munities.

Do you belong to the Disaster Re-
lief Committee in your town?
If you do, or il you are appointed,
il means that you are considered
brave, eonsiderate, even-tempersd
and strong. To be appointed to thia
committee is one Of the highest
hOnors that the American Red Cross
can bostOw upon you; for the Dis
aster Relief Committee, recently ex-
planned by Harry L. Hopkins, director
Of Civilian Relief, Gulf Division,
American Red Cross, il the great
bOdy Of straight-thiAkiRg, qnick-aSt-
ing, dependable peFsOns, organized IN
each community TO meet disasters
which arise, be they hOed, fire, FAM
inc, explosion, EhipwrOsk, or earth
quake.
In the thirty-eight years since the
American Red Cross was first err
ganized IN 1881, it has participated
in 100 disaster relief expeditions at
home and abroad and has expended
or directed ths expenditure Of twelve
and q half million dollars. This COW
ers the period up to june 1st, 1919,
the end of the fiscal year.
America averages q dozen disas-
ters a year. Latest statistics SOM
piled by the Gulf Division, American
Red Cross. show twelve disasters, and
the Red Gross gave relief in every
one!
In this immediate territory there
were grave disasters in recent years
the Gulf States storm in 1905, the
Mississippi cyclone in 1907, the Mis-
sissippi flood in 1912 and the second
flood In 1914. There was another
flood at Natchsz in 1915, and more
floods and the boil weevil menace in
Alabama in 1917. In fact, 1917 was
a bad year for disasters in the South,
for during the summer the tornadOes
at Village Springs and Carbon Hill
and New Hope, Alabama, brought
about much suffering. Everybody in
this vicinity remembers the Lake
Charles, Louisiana, storm in 1918, in
which the Gulf Division Red Gross
furnished such great aid, and at
which time Harry L. Hopkins, direc-
tor of civilian relief, went to Lake
Charles and directed the erection OF
the tent city. A total of $4,000 was
expended in this disaster alone. And
in 1919 the Corpus Christi, Texas,
storm was robbed Of much Of its hor-
ror through the prompt action of the
Red Cross.
OF these ten disasters in the Cult
Division in recent years, the Red
Cross has given supplies and spent
money to the sxtsnt u approximately
sos, 300.

RED CROSS NEEDED.

Gives More Aid Than Ever 70 SeFv-
ice Meas Families.
More than double the amount ID
money normally spent per month
for the relief Of families Of service
man was spent during the month Of
August By the GuH Division Of the
American Red Cross, according to q
statement made Saturday by Harry
L. Hopkins, director Of Cicilian Re-
lisf. Up 70 August, 1919, . total
Of 311A,624.g6 had bOea Spsnt fo1
this work IN Alabama, Louisiana and
Mississippi. During August S12s
26A.25 was spent for the same purs
pose in these States.
ssThis makes total" said Dir. Hop
kins. "of SIZE, S89.1O expended fol-
the relief of families of soldiers IN
the Gulf Division, of which SUN g
tenth was spent during the month 81
August. The reason for this IS pm.
marily the fact that most able-bodied
soldiers are discharged by this time
and are fully able 70 take care Of
their families themselves. Hhose who
remain are to q large degree those
who are still in the hospitals sRd
who can do nothing for the persons
dependent upon tham.
IA very significant feature OF this
report is the striking manner ~
which it emphasizes the need Tor the
continuation Of the Red Cross work
even in times Of peace. Obviously, .
we are spandinR more for the relief
Of soldiers families in AuguSt-near-
" ! year after the ending Of the Wal
than we we're during the war IT
self. our work is far from hnlshed
ssIncidsntally, this Home Service
work is only one branch Of the tire
mendous Peace Time program which
the Red Cross has mapped out foE
itself. The other departments are
fullv as important to the welfare Of
everv community in che Gulf States.
II = for this reason that the Red
Cross Is holding . third annual roll
cali this year, November 2 to IL.
sBv the way, il may interest youI
readers to know that the Gulf Diyl-
sion. which includes Alabama, Louis

ASSESSORS EXPLANATION
is WELL RECEIVED

From the reports coming in from
the parish, the explanation given by
Mr.. Andrus, the assessor, that he had
nothing to do with the amount that
the taxpayer was assessed; that he
could only, under the new law, give
list of property and its actual cash
value, and that the police jury for
the parish placed the amount of each
taxpayers assessment, by placing a
certain percentage on the actual cash
value that would make the amount of
money that they required for each
year; that the state board of affairs
did the same thing with the assess
ment for the state; after this was
done each taxing authority, such as
parish, state, schools, road, levee,
drainage, Confederate veterans and
state good roads, placed the amount
of mills upon the amount fixed by the
parish and state board to make up the
amount of money each would require
for each year, and the assessor had
no say-so in the matter at all. In
other words, the assessor is only a
clerk to the police jury and the state
board and no one will try to deny
that Mr.. Andrus is as good an office
man as you could find anywhere in
the parish and he is fully able to rep
resent you, the taxpayer, before the
state board and the police jury when
ever it becomes necessary for him to
do so. He has ably done this when
he did all that could be done when it
became necessary to place an actual
value on your lands. He succeeded
in getting low value on all lands
that are selling today for SIS up to
$3.50. He has those lands at 500,
$25, $50 and $35 and the highest at
$40. Certainly the landowner should
appreciate what his effort has ac-
complished He has also brought mil
lions of dollars of property on the
rolls that had never before paid a
cent of taxes, thereby helping those
who were paying the bulk of taxes.
From all reports, the friends of Mr..
Andrus say the taxpayers are deter
mined to keep him in office, as they
realize he has been their friend and
has worked hard to get all the prop
erty on the rolls in fair and equal
manner.
