Marine Corps Calls For
Recruits For Aviation

A call for men for service in the
Aviation Section of the Marine Corps
has been issued by the New Orleans
Recruiting Office, GIT Common St.,
of which Lieutenant D. B. Jones, Jr.,
is officer in Charge.
Gas engine mechanics; machine
shops mechanics; electricians; wire
workers; woodworkers and black
smiths are wanted. These men will
be sent through the navy mechanics
school at Great Lakes, Ill. where they
will receive a thorough practical
training in all parts of these trades,
after which they will be sent to fly
ing stations for further training.
This is an excellent opportunity
for young men to learn profitable
trade at the expense of the Govern
ment," stated Lieut.. Jones, "and the
majority of men on duty with the
aviation section of the Marines are
non-commissioned officers and most
of them receive an increase of SO per
cent in addition to their regular pay.
Many mechanics who entered the
Section at the beginning Of the war
with qualifications allowing them to
earn only $500 or $500 day in
civil life are now expert mechanics
and are Obtaining upon discharge
$1,000 to $1,000 per day. Men who
are enlisted for aviation work will
not be diverted to other duties"
Hieut. Jones further stated. II will
be glad to give further information
to all who write me for same, but
the local postmaster has been au-
thorized by the government to accept
applicants for the Marine Corps. We
need young men between Is and 40
years of age for general service, as
the Marine serve on both land and
sea, this offers splendid opportun-
ity to see the world"

LICENSING OF PROSTITUTION
Present Fines in Lower New Orleans
Courts So Termed By
Officers.

The system in New Orleans lower
courts of merely fning women for
practicing prostitution was condemn
ed as 'licensing of prostitution"
by Captain Harold M. Wilson, of the
War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities, in spe-
cial report to the law enforcement
commission. He further charged
that arrests for prostitution were not
vigorously followed up by trials and
convictions.
''The two recorders courts" Capt.
Wilson said, "have many cases of
prostitution untried The practice
seems to be for women to obtain
counsel, procure bonds and there the
matter is apparently dropped. This
office is not aware of the city attor-
ney sueing on any one of those
bonds, or of any collection of for
FIXTURES having been made"
In contrast with this, Judge Cham
berlain's night court is given clean
bill in Captain Wilson's report.
Captain Wilson charges the mayor
and police administration with a lack
Of cooperation.
There have been many verbal pro-
testations made" the report asserts,
"and it is only fair to state that
there has been considerable police
activity. This last, however, due to
handicaps, which can best be ex-
planned by the authorities, has not
struck any effective blow at those
higher up and in control of what
gives every appearance of being a
we'll organized vice ring which must
have some influential backing"
Captain Wilson cites, as an illus
tration Of his charge Of a lack of CO.
operation, hostility in the famous
and Utterly ridiculous investigation
of the list of forty-two houses sub
mitted by the writer IN court"
Captain Wilson's report went for
ward to Washington two weeks ago,
and since that time copies Of various
parts of the report have been fur
nished number of law enforcement
officials, including Mayor Behrman,
Superintendent Mooney, the COM
manding officers of Jackson Bar
racks and the Algiers Naval Station,
health authorities, the foreman of
the grand jury and others.
Captain Wilson charges number
of hotels with doing fair business
in prostitution" In his report, he
says:
"The usual methods are pursued,
aided and abetted by clerks, bell
hops, house detectives, porters, maids
and bartenders. The st. Charles
Hotel is very clean in this respect.
and every honest effort is made there
to have the house respectable. -

BOy Scouts Off For Trip.

The Boy Scouts were made jubi-
liant over their success at soliciting
yesterday for funds for their trip
which began this morning. Citizens
were generous and a hundred dollars
was easily forthcoming. However,
money doesn't guarantee immunity
from trouble and this morning word
came that the boys were busy ex-
cavating themselves from a hole in
the good roads of Lawrence. The
Scout spirit is dppermost and SO
there really is no trouble ahead for
our Scouts. Mr.. w. M. hampton
and the Magnolia Scouts are out also
on a similar trip through South Mis-
sisslppi and Louisiana.

HIGH PRICED COTTON.

Cotton was quoted in New Or
leans at S5 cents, Monday. Germa-
ny is thread-bare for cotton and cot
ton dealers predict an unprecedented
demand.
There are now $4,000 bales at
the port of New Orleans. 1t is now
bringing 1925 per pound.
Opinion is crystalizing around the
idea that cotton may easily go to 40
cents. 1t is largely a. weather af-
fair. The July report was the worst
for July on record and the August
report may prove the worst for Aug
ust. The crop usually deteriorates
during July. The July estimate was
a little under 100000 bales.

DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives of thousands Of Armenian
children already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian orphanages, according to de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters Of that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
Armenians since the beginning Of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks. Because of lack Of food,
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children in these institu-
tions averaged as high as twenty or
thirty day in some cases.
When Armenian funds became in.
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge of the orphanage. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mcrta condition.
