Suffragettes to Discuss
Gay Amendment

Mrs. Lydia Wickliffe Holmes of
Baton Rouge, state chairman of the
Woman's Suffrage Party of Louis
lana, says she feels deep sense of
state pride in the fact that Senator
Gay had been the instrument by
which the Democratic Party has been
saved from the everlasting stigma
of defeating woman suffrage"
Mrs. Holmes is looking forward to
the convention of the National Wom-
ans Suffrage Association in St. Louis
this month. one of the chief matters
for discussion will be the substitu-
tion of the Jones amendment for the
Susan B. Anthony amendment.
The Jones amendment reads as fol-
lows: "First Section-That the right
of citizens of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States or by any state
on account of sex ,
Second Section-The several states
shall have the authority to enforce
this article by necessary legislation,
but if any state shall enforce or enact
any law in conflict Herewith, then
Congress shall not be excluded from
enacting proper legislation to en-
force it,"

New Ferry Boat Nearing
Completion and Will
Soon be Put in
Service
IN. d. Shannon Represents In.
vestment of $4,000. Says
J. r. Drackett,
Owner

Patrons of the Morgan City-Ber-
wick ferry will soon have the pleas
ure of riding to and fro across Ber-
wick Bay in one of the finest ferry
boats in the south. The "M d. Sham
non," the new boat being built by Mr..
J. R. Drackett, lessee of the ferry
rights at this place, is being given the
finishing touches at the wharf in the
rear of the Hamilton Machine Shop.
The boiler and engines have been in
stalled and are being put in working
order; the large stern wheel and dri-
yer are about ready, and the first
coat of paint has been put on. The
pontoons for the landings have been
floated, and will be put IN place in
few days. In addition to all of this.
the new waiting room for passengers
is adso nearing completion.
The Shannon is built for giving the
greatest service and accommodation.
twenty-five automobiles and hum
dreds of passengers may be taken on
in one trip. There is large front
space on the boat for the autoes, and
cars may also be put on each side of
the boat. Sumptuous passenger rooms
on the upper deck will accommodate
many Provision has also been made
in allotting the space for any freight
that might be taken on.
The new boat will make good time
in getting across the bay, but it is
thought that riding on the Shannon
will be such a delight that the pas
sengers will not be in any haste to,
get off.
The Hy. Jacobs. the boat now be-
ing used as ferry, has seen many
years of service between Morgan
City and Berwick, and it is by no
means because that the boat is no
longer serviceable that it is being re-
placed with new one. Mr.. Drackett
says that until he sells it, the boat
will be used for excursions and the
ike.

ed clothing to 373,019 refugees outside
Of the Paris district.
Some idea Of the enormous need
for clothing among the refugees
of the devastated and liberated
regions Of France and Belgium
can be obtained from a Red Cross
report which shows that up to last
fall It had distributed 1923, 900 ar
tieIes Of clothing and 2eo, 100 pairs
Of shoes. In addition It gave r.
100000 yards Of cloth.
And the Red Cross heads admit that
1t has been impossible to supply any
where near the complete needs Of
these stricken people in the matter of
clothing and shoes. Funds and facili.
ties are inadequate for the purchasing
and making of new clothing. In the
donation of old clothing that can be
salvaged they see the only way in
which the serious problem of these
unfortunate Allies can be solved.

attempted to remain In the path Of

Germany to work In the 6oches

once knew as home, and following
the irresistible call Of their hearts
they came back to find nothing but
desolation and ruin.
All over that immense waste Of
