ERWIN PRAISES
AUTO SHOW HERE
Military Commander States
Date Of Coming Exhi-
bition Timely.

The FL Paso motor car dealers
never could have chosen a more
psychological time for staging their
automobile show than right now. de-
clared Brig. Gen. James B. Erwin.
commander Of the FL Paso military
district. Thursday morning.
ct is generally known throughout
the entire nnation now that automo-
biles did more toward winning the
great world war than any other
agency aside from the soldiery. The
result is that men and women are
taking a renewed interest in the
motor car, and rightly So The big
show which opens next THURSDAY in
Liberty hall viii prove an exception
any interesting and educational az
fair, in my opinion
See Weak Points.
The war brought out the weak
points in previous motor car con-
struction as we'll as the better points.
The experience which war tests gave
motor car builders already is being
reflected in improved chassis and me
chanical designs. The result OF those
Improvements may be seen in many OF
the models which will be shown at the
show. Motor enthusiasts should feel
happy that the Fl PasO dealers are
giving this show for their benefit"
Just to show the visitors at the
motor fete the strides made in motor
car designing during the past IS
months, the army will have an Off
cial exhibit at the show under the di-
rection Of Mai Joseph T. Schillo. com
mauder Of the motor truck units az
Camp Boyd. Fort Bliss.

This exhibit viii include a portable
machine shop equipped with its own
lathes. power plant and lighting sys-
TEN so that work can be done in the

FOOL BROKERS
 ON OIL STOCK
Texas Promoters Catch Even Wall Street Men on
 Fake Issues.

New York, May 30 Investment brokers themselves, as well as the innocent public have been losing big sums of money through oil stocks, according to Assistant District Attor- ney Dooling, one of the heads of the District Attorneys Commercial Frauds Bureau, who said yesterday he had received a complaint of a S10O,000 loss through a Texas oil proposition.
 These investment brokers,'' said MT. Dooling, told me they had been to Texas recently to purchase a small oil company. They said they found upon investigation on the ground that the property really was producing oil and put down $100,000 in cash and set a date for the next payment
 Their intention was to buy out the company and to advertise and sell the stock in this city. After making the cash payment they discovered that the company they bought the prop erty from had already sold it to another buyer who seemed to have valid claim They then had the heaC of the company indicted, but the case was postponed and has not yet been tried.''
 MT. Dooling said his reports from Texas show that when oil land is taken on lease, the original lease holder divides the property into sec tions and retains portions of it for himself. He then drills on the part of property he still houds and sucks" the oil from the land leased by in vestors
 He asserted also that he had found an advertisement stating that the -Burl1burnett oil fields pro- duce 100, DOG, GOO barrels of oil daily, which is about nine times more than the daily production of the entire Tinted States

EARL DURHAMs
 CANADIAN REGIME.

One of the most distinguished and
 commanding figures in Canadian his
 tory, John George Lambton, Earl of
 Durham, landed at Quebec eight ty-
 one years ago today, May 29, 1898,
 to begin his brief but glorious car
 eer as High Commissioner of the
 Sovereign and Governor-General of all
 British America. The instruction of
 1887 had left Canada in a turmoil,
 and many obstacles confronted Lord Durham's administration. He inme- diately set about to surmount them, and travelled all over the country, investigating all grievances, and man ifesting such a desire to be just that he won the friendship of all the clashing classes. At 8 meeting of the Lieutenant Governors of the various Provinces. Lord Durham suggested a federation as the best solution of the problem. In dealing with the leaders of the rebels, Lord Durham took the matter into his own hands, and ban ished eight of them to Bermuda, threatening execution for high trea- son should they return. This led to a
 bitter attack on the Earl by his polit-
 ica1 enemies in the British Parlia- ment, and the Imperial government
 disallowed the decree. Lord Durham's
 answer was to resign, and he returned
 home without waiting for a recall or
 for the receipt of his resignation in London He died soon after his arriv- al in England and the completion of the famous report in which, as the
 fruit of investigation and study for
 only six months, he presented a most valuable summary of the tendencies
 and aspirations and conditions in British America. Failing in the ac- complishment of a federated union of all the Provinces, he strongly urg- ed the proposal to unite Upper and Lower Canada. In 1889 a measure was introduced into the British Par 1iament to put Durhan's recommen- dation into effect. The bill was passed in 1s4O, and in February of the fol- lowing year the United Province of
 Canada came into being.

BENEFIT WHIST
 FOR NURSERY

On Saturday afternoon, whist party will be given in The Stratfield sun parlors from 2 to o'clock for the benefit of St. Vincent's Day Nur- sery. The nursery, which is ideally located at the corner of Barnum ave- nue and Pembroke street in the heart of a, great factory district, fills great need in providing day care for the children whose mothers are forced to go out to work to support themselves and their children.
 The average daily attendance is in the neighborhood of fifty. The great majority of these children are un- der school age, and are given all day care. A few are school children who receive their noon meal at the Nur- sery, and are provided with supervis- ed play after the dismissal of school until they are called for by their mothers Every child is given phy- sicaI examination. Every case is 1n- vestigated.
 The Nursery is conducted by the Sisters of Charity under the auspices of the Catholic Charitable Bureau. Last December, the Nursery was re- moved from the original small quar- ters on Ogden street to the present building which was donated by one of the manufa cturers. Other manu- facturers have contributed toward the expense of alteration, but nearly s2,0OO Is still outstanding.
 Rev. Matthew J. Judge is director of the Catholic Charitable Bureau. Mrs. Catherine c. Sullivan is chair man of the committee in charge of the whist party.

PARIS FAIRS.

Paris, May 30-The coming of the armistice has allowed Paris to have its pleasure fairs again after they had been suppressed during the hostilities. The celebrated Gingerbread Fair" was the first to be held and attracted thousands as it has done since it's institution nearly a thousand years ago.
 An unpleasant surprise was in store for the lovers of merry-go-rounds, which used to cost two cents a ride before the war and four on Satur- day nights and Sunday. The hum blest, most out-of-date affair which offered mere wooden horses or pigs to ride on demanded a franc, 20 cents a turn. while the up-to-date machines offering a suspended airplane required a. franc and half, or 30 cents. These extravagant prices (to the frugal French mind) did not prevent brisk business, for even the French seem to have lost their keen sense of the value of money.

SOLDIERS AND JOBS

The American soldier who has re-
turned home will have less trouble
in finding jobs than he will have IN
filing one after he has secured 1t.
And on this point the soldier needs
warning. He should not let the praise
and honors thrust on him turn ms
head. This military enthusiasm Will
die down in a few months and we VIII
get back to rock bottom, where hard
work and merit only will count. The
training received in the army should
have improved the soldier by incul-
eating system and promptness in bu-
siness affairs; these traits, coupled
with fidelity should make him better
equipped to hold job. But the main
point for him to remember is that he
can hold his job only if he is efficient
and that the fact that he did his duty
on the front will give him but passing
advantage.
Business Is one thing and military
glory another. 1t will do the soldier
no harm to remember the fact when
promises for taking care of the SOL
der are so plentiful.

RUINED FOR LIFE

The question of government con-
troll of railway, telegraph and ex-
Dress companies continues to arouse
interest and provoke profanity. Or
course the government will increase
rates, waste more money and give IN
efficient service, but these are only
material shortcomings. Our great
est objection to government control
is that it has absolutely ruined thou
sands of perfectly good men, Who
before getting under government con-
troll really believed in doing an hon.
est days work; some of them had
been educated up to the point OF
being almost polite; few seemed to
realize that they owed some duty to
the public, but six months of gov
eminent control has corrupted the
whole bunch. Some say that the in
efficiency is due to the effort of the
railway owners to discredit govern
ment control. Well this may be true,
and we can only add that if the en-
ployees are helping along this line
that they are succeeding at the job
better than could have been conjured
by our worst fears. For inefficiency
they are experts.

"CUBERNATORIAL TIMBER"

0perlousas, La, Feb. 4, 1919.
To the Editor of the Times Picayune
In yesterdays issue of your paper
appeared news item in which Mr..
Duncan Buie, job holder under the
present administration and ex-chair-
man of the Probe Commission, is re-
ted as saying:
The next governor will, in my o.
plnion, come from North or Central
Louisiana, for the very simple reason
that we have the best gubernatorial
timber. We have two or three men
in that section who would make ex-
ceptionally strong candidates, either
Of whom can be elected"
II rifles me to hear gentlemen from
North Louisiana arrogate to them
selves all the brains of this state.
South Louisiana has its share of GU
bernatorial timber. / can pick out a
half dozen men in the Seventh Con-
gressional District who would accept
ably fill the Office of governor. can
go to New Orleans and select twenty
five candidates, all of whom would
make exceptionally strong candi-
dates, either Of whom can be elect
ed"
North Louisiana has been spoiled
to such an extent it believes that it is
the state. Disillusionize yourselves,
gentlemen. South Louisiana has its
share Of the brains of this state; it
has the votes and if the electors of
this section stand together we can
lend candidate who will not rattle
around the executive Office as have
heretofore done some intellectual
pygmies from North Louisiana.
GILBERT L. DUPRE.
From the above it is clear that the
campaign is about to open. We fully
agree with Mr.. Dupre that gubernato-
rial timber is plentiful. But Mr.. Du-
pre- overlooks the reaf trouble. 1t is
easy to pick good man for governor
but it is a devil of a job to find
enough good men to elect him. A
mother trouble is to get the right fell
low to do the picking. But we refuse
to say more for fear that We may
stand committed.
