Barbershops to
Close at s o'clock

The BARRIERS of Morgan City. with
but one exception, met in the Cham
ber of Commerce office yesterday
and agreed to close their shops at
eight o'clock commencing June lst.
This step was taken in order that
the BARRIERS may have little time
in which to relax from their day of
confinement in the close shops. 1t
is thought that all who need their
services can arrange to come around
earlier than heretofore, and thus en-
able them to have a few leisure mo-
ments after the days work.
Those signing the agreement were !:
R. NJ. Husband, John Cutrone, owner
of the Robieheaux shop, Robert
Adams and Alien Price.

St. Mary Parish Selected
for Childrens' Nursing
Demonstrations
Department Of Labor Selects
St. Mary Parish Out
of Entire
South

The Nationl Organization for Pub
lie Health Nursing will demonstrate
a public health nursing service in St.
Mary Parish during the next three
months, the entire expense Of which
is borne by the Children's Bureau of
the U. S. Department of Labor. This
is one of four nursing demonstra-
tions to be made in the United
States, and the only one to be made
in+sthe southern states. The seiec-
tion Of St. Mary has been approved
by the Children's Bureau after con-
sideration of several other counties
and parishes in the south. It has al
so been approved by the State De-
partment of Health. One of the
most important factors in this choice
was the assurance of active and cor
dial cooperation on the part of par
ish citizens.
The demonstration was planned
for small town and rural commune
ties with the county or parish as a
unit. Its purpose is to provide skill
ed nursing service for the sick and
to prevent illness by public health
education. The first service to be
established will be for mothers and
babies.
Miss Zoe La Forge arrived in
Franklin last Thursday to begin the
work of organization and to estab-
lish headquarters there Miss La
Forge is assisting Miss Olmsted who
is in charge of the four demonstra-
tions in the United States. The nurse
who will take charge of the field
work in the parish, Miss Matte
Coale of Baltimore, will arrive about
June first. Miss Coale is a gradu-
ate of Johns Hopkins Training
School and has had six years expert
ence in public health nursing. She
has been very successful in county
nursing in Illinois in the last three
years and is we'll qualified to give
excellent service in St. Mary Parish.
A colored nurse will be added to the
staff very soon.
The Children's Bureau has issued
the following statement regarding
public service for mothers and ba-
bies: "The public protection of
maternity and infancy should be ac-
cepted as governmental policy be-
cause it is of national concern,
The Bureau feels that its studies
indicate that under present condi-
tions many communities can not Sc
cure for themselves proper protec-
tion of mothers and babies, and re-
commends federal aid in State work
for babies similar to that now avail
able for promoting better farms and
roads and for vocational education"

Erzbergers Notion
of the League

ON July 10, 1917, the German Reichs-
" tag passed a resolution fayoring
the idea of the League Of Nations, 'the
German banner of the worlds peace" as
Matthias Erzberger styles it in the pref
ace to his work entitled The League Of
Nations, the Way to the Worlds Peace.
Erzbsrger, it will be remembered, was
not only member Of the Reichstag but
also one Of the Germans who signed the
armistice agreement last November. In
passing upon an application to publish
a translation of the book In Great Britain,
the authorities stated that "the author
seized the opportunity (September,
1879, when Germany was breaking up,
to show the German people that there
was a movement for a League Of Nations
in Germany. His book calls for compdl-
sorry arbitration and disarmament; dis
cusses free trade and economic rights;
opens the great colonial problem, and calls
for freedom of the seas. 1t is right that
British, American and Colonial politicians
should have the chance of reading the
book which represented the Germany we
should have to make peace with"
Now, noting its unconscious humor,
this is not bad review of Erzbergrr's
book, which is thoroughly characteristic
German document of the old school. Err
berger has learned nothing from Ger
many's experience in the war, and he is Us
devoted an adherent of Deutschland dber
Allies as if Germany never had signed
the armistice or ANONYMOUSLY surrendered
her navy. Witness his contention that
the Panama Canal should be internati,n-
allied, while there should be no interior
ence with the Kiel Canal!
His text is 4 thoroughgoing piece of
Teutonic literary work, since it is chiefly
an assembling of all that has been written
about the League of Nations, its forrna-
ton and its history. His pretensions as
to Germany's rights to her former color:al
possessions are patent absurdities. A.
matter of fact, the whole book is an I'M
pertinence, only valuable as an llustra-
ton to the few people in the world who
believe in getting Germany off easily that
the German does not change his spots even
in defeat.

among the Indians, the Dutch and the
English there was such a conflict Of
claims as opened many avenues of ad-

courage TO enter. Scott filled the public
books with the records of his land trans
fers.
He went to England in the year of the
Restoration, and took the backstairs way
into the royal presence. In 1861 it was
reported in Long Island that he had re-
