PATTE.R.
Ladies' Number.

Now that Spring and June are
here and the young mans thoughts
are lightly turning to baseball, mos
quitoes and other things, the sport
ing editor of the Homely Ladies
Journal has requested me to write an
article on girls and marriage, and
here it is.
June has been called the ladies
month, because it's the month in
which the most deadly of the species
do the most deadly work.
June is wonderful month. It
deserves fame because of the fact
that it rhymes with "spoon" and
moon"
June is the first month immediate
ly after May. 1t was put on the cal
ender just to furnish a choice assort-
ment of bills for July first.
Porch awnings are all up in June,
so is the price of ice.
June makes the sixty-five year old
bookkeeper long to take the new
stenographer out on the scenic rail-
way, buy her pop corn, and photo
post card (heads together).
The question of the day is: Do
married men make the best hus-
bands? How should l know, in all
my youth, beauty and innocence?
Well, why shouldn't | be innocent
I'm not married. They say marriage
is a necessity. So is a jail.
Women are more liberal than men.
Take, for instance, wife. The wife
who has mind OF her own is always
willing to give her husband a piece
of it.
Let me impress upon you, some
last Saturday night, the Audubon
school held it's closing exercises out
in the open and was attended by
large crowd. Every one reports the

ITEMS OF INTEREST AT JAHNCKE
SHIPYARDS IN MADISONVILLE
By D. H. Vinet.

Among the different species of oak
trees that find their home in our
beautiful southland, none are so nee
essary in the construction of wooden
ships as the sturdy and stately live
oak that encircles the water coast of
our parish from the Tangipahoa river
on the west to West Pearl River on
the east. Mr.. Louis PiZetta has been
employed by the Jahncke Shipbuild-
ing Co. since the establishment of
1he yard, to cut down and prepare
these enormous trees into innumer
able shapes and sizes called knees.
They are indispensable in forming the
skeleton or frame of ship and are
as durable as iron. l hardly think
a more experienced, practical man
could have been found than Mr.. Piz-
zetta. He is a native of Madison
Vile, La, a member of an old and
prominent family of that town, and
from his continuous service in the
timber business, he can aptly be call
versatility and hidden resourceful-
ness %of American manhood just be-
gan to awaken as from a deep sleep,
when the Hun from afar saw the
giant begin to move, and yelled
enough.
After an absence of nearly one
month Mr.. Nose Chatellier returned
from New Orleans, Monday, May 26,
looking the picture of health and
prosperity. He shipped on the S. S.
Balabac, of Madisonville, as the ship
carpenter, a position of great re-
sponsibility. She carries full cargo
of hard lumber to Rotterdam, Hol-
land, from New Orleans. Mr.. Chat
ellier helped to build this ship, and
it now falls to his lot to accompany
her across the Atlantic, in position
both remunerative and instructive,
of which he and his friends may we'll
feel proud.
Bon Voyage" Nose, and that you
may return home safely to those who
love you.

GREECE WANTS U. S. cHASERS
Seeks TO Purchase Speedy Boats No
Longer Needed by Ameri-
can Navy.

Paris.--CSreel1 naval authorities have
been examining American submarine
chasers which have been in the Adri-
attic sea with view to their purchase.
The Greek navy already had two for
mer American battleships and experts
in the service favor a further aug
mentation Of the fleet with American
craft.
A fleet OF SO chasers was sent to the
Adriatic to cooperate with the cruis-
ers Olympia and Birmingham and
eight destroyers in carrying out Amer
ica's role In the execution of the pro-
visions Of the armistice with Austria.
The chasers are now at Malta for over
hauling, but In the meantime the
Greek government is making Overtures
for their purchase. These proposals
may be entertained, as the close of
the war makes It probable that there
will be little further need of the chas-
ers,. which are particularly suited for
in shallow waters like those
Of the Greek archipelago.

Then Sammie Allen, with his six feet
of husky, strapplng manhood, stepped
weakly from the train leaning on his
fathers arm.
A dozen willing hands and shoulders
were offered to help him into his faith
er's machine and home. But the
wholesome life of the farm, together
with his mothers devoted care, worked
wonders and, six weeks later, the
young soldier was able to take short
walks every day, and slowly his
strength returned to him.
One especially fine summer day,
when he was feeling much stronger
than usual, he started out to pay a
visit to his fathers old friend, Lem
CrOthers, but finding the walk still a
little too much for him, he picked out
a nice Sandy beach spot and stretched
himself out at full length to rest. In
less than FIVE minutes he was sound

over the smooth, blue stretch of water.
Her book lay neglected on the sand

these stones, think I'll just test my

She became quite excited In her
search for shell or stone that should
be so different from all the rest that
she would be able to recognize 1t later.
AHA p she exclaimed with satisfac-
ton after few minutes, "thls one will
be just right" a1d she picked up
small tightly curled shell the inside of

"The sand just makes It heavy enough
to throw" she said, unconscI66sly
speaking aloud In her interest. "Tn

up and taking careful aim,
she sent the little shell spinning across
the water.

INIERCHURCH
MOVEMENT

| Cleveland, Ohio, June 6.-Perhap.
the greatest single step ever taker
toward improving the effectiveness:
of church work in American cities
has been revealed in the announce
ment of national conference here
next week uder the auspices of the
Interchurch World Movement OF
North America. Delegations of sue
cessful practical workers and exc
cutives from all sections of the
country will take part in the meet
ings, which will open in Hotel Cleve-
land on Tuesday morning and close

tors working among migrant and in
dustrial peoples; national, state and
city mission and church extension ex-
ecutives; representatives from sem
inaries and training schools interest
ed in the training of city leadership,
and representatives from outstanding
rescue missions.
"In view of the national survey
of the cities Of America which the
Interchurch World Movement is now
contemplating and also in view of the
fact that no national conference has
ever been held, so far as we are
aware, on the whole problem of the
Protestant program in our great
cities, this gathering in Cleveland
promises to be an epoch making
one," said Ralph E. Diffendorfer of
New York, director of the move
ment's national survey.

method and organization of the ma
