NEW ORLEANS.

The first settlement on the site of New Orleans was made by the French under Jean de Bie-Tville Aug. 20, 171S When Louisiana was ceded to Spain the Southern metropolis hoist ed the Spanish flag. In 1900 the province reverted to France, and in 1908 was purchased by the United States. Through all these changes and even until the present the Cres- cent City has remained to a consid- erable extent a French City, and the language and customs of France are retained to a greater extent than in any other big municipality in Amer lea, with the possible exception of Montreal

A pitiful woman of the underworld
"a "Hardieville" woman-died in Mi
ami Sunday night from a self-admin-
istered dose of carbolic acid. She was
an outcast-her men friends are not
outcasts. Why?-Miami Metropolis.
If we might be allowed to answer
your question. sister, we would say
it is principally because you and other
good women would treat the unfor-
tunate like she was an outcast and
treat her men friends the other way,
1t is a safe bet that if the woman had
really wanted to reform-to go where
she was not known and work for liv-
ing, her men friends would have rails
ed the money to send her there. But
you good women of Miami or any
other city would not have allowed her
to occupy a decent situation in your
own town. At least, you wouldn't il
you are like the women of other
towns.

for three-quarters of a mile from the

and a quarter to improve. This street

is the old Gainesville to Fort King
road built about eighty years ago. 1t
runs along the top of the ridge, is
beautifully shaded and would in addi-
ton to its usefulness make a beauti-
full drive. At present the road to the
school is much neglected. The school
has become an honor to the town and
county, not to speak of its bringing
in good deal of money, and it would
be only fair appreciation to build a
good road to it.

ials and some conditions in Ocala
more severely than the Star has.
We have criticised the council, but
we never called any of its members
"boneheads" or "smart-alecks.
AS for our breeches, we presume we
will have to take his advice. We have
had those breeches only a year, and
were trying to make them last until
Christmas, when we intended to pre-
sent ourself with new pair. But now
that he has called everybody's atten-
ton to them, we suppose we shall
have to stand somebody off for an
other set. We were over to see Alder
man Goldman Saturday night and
while he scolded US for criticising his
official acts. he offered to credit US for
new pair of "Whypaymores." Gold
mans a friend in need.
Mr.. Thomas is capitalist and not
a newspaper man, so he doesn't have
to worry about such things as
breeches and bachelor buttons. When
he buys pair of breeches. he doesn't
have to count the months on his fin
gers to calculate how long they will
last. A man of fine appearance and
entertaining conversation, when he
meets his friends they do not notice
his breeches. They would hardly no.
tice it if he didn't have any.
But as for moving to some other
city, while we know some people
would be glad to have US go, we have
even more evidence that many others
are willing for US to stay, and here
we expect to stay till our old friend
Don McIver measures US for wooden
suit that will be breeches and all.

THE EFFICIENCY
 OF ADVERTISING

If in a town where the merchants had never advertised much, they should form the practice of using publicity, what changes would take place?
 On a on-advertising basis, if store buyers did find some special lot hav- ing exceptional worth for the money, they would not be able to attract pub lie attention to it, and it might take them a long time to work it off.
 On an advertising basis, if a store buyer had a chance to pick up a large lot at reduced price, he would have confidence to go ahead. He could buy very largely in excess of the usual demand, depending upon adver- Using to bring it a lot of customers who would buy in advance of actual needs. ,
 The first result of advertising, then, is to make it possible for merchants to do business in a bigger way, to buy in larger lots at lower prices, to take advantage of special opportuni- ties and give their customers the ben eft.

AMERICAN DEBT
 S24,824,345,OOO

Washington, May 6.-Public dent of the United States Government was reported by the Treasury as $24,324'- 545, 5,000.
 Most of this represents Liberty Bonds of the first, second, third ana fourth issues, but the Victory L'o- erty Loan is not included to any great extent. The addition of Victory Lean bonds will be large counterbaI- anced by redemption of outstanding certificates of indebtedness.
 No deduction is made for the SS,- 852, 100000 loaned to foreign govern F, tents. Consequently the net debt would be approximately $16,000,o00,- 900.
 The Treasury plans to issue other bonds later this year and next year to meet the flag ends of war eX- penses. In the aggregate these are not expected to exceed $5,0OO,0OO, 900, so the gross public debt of the United States Is expected to oe in the neighborhood of $3O,0OO, 100000 when the period of war financing ends.
 The Treasury now has a working balance of $1,052, 2,0OO,0OO, of which $E57, ,546, 900 is on deposit with banks throughout the country on account of bills or certificates of indebted ness and Victory Liberty notes. The Treasury holds $2,653, 1000 in gold, but a little more than half of tEis belongs to the gold settlement fund of the Federal Reserve Board Silver dollars in the Treasury, which a, little more than a year ago amounted to $49O,OOO,OOO had been reduced to $229,711,0OO by melting down of approximately 26O,OOO.O 900 of silver dollars for export to India.

LONDON, Jan. 3O.-A special
meeting of the Cabinet held to-day
was attended by Winston Spencer
Churchhill, Sir Eric Geddes, Sir Rob-
ert Stevenson Horne, the new Labor
Minister, and Gems. Sir Henry Wilson
and Sir William Robertson. Urgent
questions regarding rehabilitation
were discussed.
1t is understood that the conferees
reached the conclusion that there was
no prospect for months to come of the
voluntary enlistment Of sufficient
men for the army Of occupation and
the salvage Of property in the war
theatre, for properly garrisoning In
dia, Gilbarltar and the Crown colo
nies, to insure the safety of the Unit
ed Kingdom and safeguard the re-
suits of the victory in Palestine, Mes
opotamia and Turkey, and that hence
it would be necessary to adopt some
system of selection, and place the
men retained as nearly as possible in
the same position as they would be in
