Raising Chamber Of Com
merce Fund

Over $500 has been subscribed to
the Chamber of Commerce Industri-
al Campaign Fund by the business
men of Morgan Sity. This is 10 per-
cent of the amount the Chamber set
out to raise. The business men of
the community, realizing the need
for expansion and activity on the
part of the Chamber of Commerce,
are coming to the front with their
dontions to this fund. 1t is patri-
otto duty in the truest sense of the
word-patriotic because they are
protecting the commercial and civic
interests of their home town.
A committee from the Chamber
of Commerce will call on the vari-
Gus business men and solicit their
donations. The Review will publish
a list of the contributors to the fund
and the amount of their contribution.
Business men are urged not to wait
nutil the committee calls on them
but to send in their donation at the
first opportunity. Donations may
be sent direct to the Chamber OF
Commerce or may be left at the Re-

FISHING in Japan.

japanese fishermen catch their fish
in way very different from our fish
ermen. The fisherman will sit in his
little boat and have with him eight or
ten ugly black birds, almost the size
OF Il goose, called cormorants. These
birds live altogether on fish. They are
trained to obey their owners voice.
He makes them dive into the water
after the iish and they are so quick
and clever and sharp-eyed that they
hardly ever come up out of the water
without fish in their beak.' A ring is
placed around their threats to prevent
them FROM allowing their booty, but
it is not so tight that 1t prevents them
from breathii,g When the man IS
through fishing lie unfastens this ing
and lets his birds eat some of The
smaller fish which they have caught.

Famous Writer Of Songs.

The songs that George F. Root com
posed or arranged during the Civil wal
would almost fill q volume. Will
George Root music was a profession.
He was born in Massachusetts, in 1920
and studied music both in this country
and abroad. Before, during and for
considerable time after the Civil war.
Mr.. Root was music publisher in Chi
cagO. E
Previous to the war he had written
a number Of cantatas and similar com.
positions, but when the war started he
turned all of his attention to composing
war songs.
One of the most spirited songs was
tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are
Marching" and it's composition should
entitle him to rank among the makers
of living national music.
Next to Tramp, Tramp, Tramp
the most popular of Roots war songs
was "The Battle Cry of Freedom"

DREADED SNAKE UNDER FALLS
According to Indian Superstition, Rep
tiles Breaking Loose Ended In
Destruction of Villages.

Formerly, according to Indian SUI
perstition, there dwelt under Niagara
falls a gigantic snake, which now ana
then would make its way to an Indian
village and coil itself around the town.
1t swallowed til people, and made
itself further obnoxious by poisoning
the springs and wells with its spittle.
The Hiwassee river, in the south
ern Allegheny region, is infested by
an enormous leech. Occasionally a
certain ledge OF rock is exposed when
the water is low. SO that people are
tempted to cross over 1t. Anybody
who tries to do SO, however, is inevi-
tably seized and sucked down.
Near the head Of the Savannah
river are the famous Talula falls. II
has been well known for centuries
that the Thunder Spirit lives beneath
these falls, and it's roaring may at
any time be heard in the noise of the
cataract.

MADE THE WORD MEAN MUCH
All the English Pretty Bulgarian I'm

It is curious that the name London

for most articles Of English manufac-
ture. In all the East it represents ma

with her, however, was restricted by

that she could say was London"
Whenever 1 saw that girl she would
show her white teeth with charming

with beautiful irrelcvance calculate:
"London!"
Whether she knew what London

Fire In Berwick Ties Up
Railroad Traffic For
Hours w lille
Track Burn
Sparks from Engine Room Ignite
Pool of Oil and Flames
Quickly Spread

Traffic on the Southern Pacific
was tied up here last night when a
fire that started from the engine
room of the pump house in Berwick
spread over the tracks there last
night at 6 80 The sparks fell in a
pool of oil and ignited. The flames
quickly spread to other pools of oil,
and approached the large reservoirs
of the Southern Pacific Company.
The coal chutes with 100 tons of coal
were completely destroyed, and 1900
gallons of oil in a small reservoir
was destroyed.
Upon the discovery OF the fire. the
Berwick Fire Department was called
out, but before the engines could
reach the fire it stuck in bog-hole,
and it was impossible to give and aid.
The Morgan City Fire Department
was appealed to, but the force on
hand was to small to send anyone
over. Volunteers soon gathered.
however, and fought to keep the
flames from destroying the tracks
and from reaching the large oil tanks.
Flames from the burning coal chutes
could be seen up to an early hour this
morning having burned drought the
night.

onions q Disinfectant

Much has been said about the vir-
tues of the onion, but few know OF Its
nse as a disinfectant.
An onion cut in half and set in a
room will attract to itself all manner
Of germs, leaving the air sweet and
pure; it is therefore most valuable In
cases Of infection. You should take
care. however, to burn the onion after
ward.
No part Of an onion should ever
be used, for domestic purposes after
having been allowed to lie about over
night. The eating of raw onions is O.

Bows Under Is Years
Must Attend School

Government supervision over the
bows under IS years has decreed that
they must attend school in Louis
lana. At the meeting Of the St. Mary
Parish Teachers Institute, it devel-
oped that a number of boys ranging
from the years 7 to IA and from II
to IS years were neglecting school
studies, and as this is against the
laws Of the ruling by the govern
ment, it is proposed by the Morgan
City school to take the. matter up
for adjustment.
1t is therefore necessary for the
teachers to be instructed to secure
all names of all boys and girls from
the age of 7 to IA, and from the age
IA to Is who have been absent from
school and their classes and to hand
such names as gathered to the sper-
intendent not later than January 10
when action will be taken.
I There is every indication that this
proposed movement will be attended
with some satisfactory results.

Strange Tale of Former
Emperor Karl's JeWeIry

Paris, Nov. 16.-A French financial
agent is being sued before the Paris
courts, at the instance of the ex-
Emperor Karl, by lady of the
Austrian aristocracy, on charge OF
wrongful conversion.
The story told in court was cur
ious one.
The late Emperor Francis Joseph
was stated to have intrusted
the financial agent prior; to the war
with valuable collection of
jewelry, including a diamond collar
valued at 100000, presented by
Napoleon Bonaparte to the Empress
Marie Louise.
Francis Joseph wished the agent
to pledge the jewels to raise funds
for counter-revolution in Portugal
in f>vor of ex- King Manuel.
Before the transaction was COM
pleted the war broke out, and the
agent joined the army of France, in
which he served with distinct ion.
1t now appears that the ex-imper-
ial family of Austria are anxious to
recover possession of the collec-
ton. The agent, however, declares
that the affair has involved him a
personal loss of $4,000.
