ELEGANT UNDERTAKING
QUARTERS.

Since purchasing the Broussard
Undertaking establishment on Jul
liza Street, the Dauterive Under
taking Company have completely
renovated the brick building and
arranged the compartments in a
manner second to none other in
Louisiana. On one side of the
emporium can be seen the most
elaborate display of Baskets ever
put on sale. encassed back of q
glass partition which protects the
trimmings and wood work from
dirt and dust. On the opposite side
beyond the cement driveway for
the rolling stock is first the bust
ness office which is in charge of
Mr.. r. J. Jacquemoud, an ex-
perienced emIbalmer and under
taker. The second compartment
is fitted up with handsome furni-
ture and used solely as q parlor.
Just back of this is the rest room
for the customers who are look
ing after their dead. In the rear
of this is what is known as the
embalming room, fitted with all
of the modern EQUIPMENTS neces-
sary for an embalmer. Back OF
the display division which runs
a
back almost half Of the length of
the building is the trimming room
where all Of the Baskets receive
finishing touches. Then the re-
mainder of the building is used
for the storing Of the FIVE hearse,
three of which is propelled by
motor power. One of these can
be converted into an ambulance
as the occasion may require. The
entire establishment would do
credit to a city of one hundred
thousand population. The Com
PAW has caskets that sell from
$500 to 100000.

Everybody who had an income dur
ing 1919 must now determine whether
his or her net income was sufficient in
amount to require an Income Tax re-
turn. The best way to find out Is to
get a Form 104OA and follow the in
structions printed on it. That form
will serve as reminder of every item
Of income; and II return Is due, 1t

One Of the important points to keep
In mind is that persons net income
Is found by a computation prescribed
in the law, and that each item Of in

Another thing to remember is that
the personal exemption allowed tax

to the requirement to file return. This
exemption Is not to be considered until

many customs and beliefs connected
with fire one Of the most important Ia

with the extinguishing of the fires Of

Immediate Action Necessary To Save
People From Starving.
Warsaw.-Immediate action for the
relief of Poland is urged in an appeal
sent to Washington over the signature
of relief agency representatives and
technical advisers as well as other
Americans. Five million persons are
suffering from undernourishment and
famine will result if aid is not forth
coming, it is said.
Large numbers are suffering acute
ly in eastern Poland where the coun-
try was devastated by the Russian
and German armies" says the appeal.
"Typhus is killing thousands and
worse conditions threaten. The 1OO,-
900 tons of -four which has been pro-
missed by Americans will carry the
people until May 1, but during May,
June and July wholesale starvation
and a vast increase in typhus will be
inevitable if further importations are
not made"

Resolution Charges He Fixed
Sugar Prices In Concurrence
With Growers.
DEMOCRATS OPPOSED
AssaiI Proposal as Threat to lmpeack
Attorney General Because He Is
Presidential Aspirant-Poli-
tical Row Breaks Out.

Washington.-A row broke out in
the Houes when the Republicans
forced through a. resolution authoriz
| ing investigation by the judiciary COM
mittee of the acts of Attorney General
Palmer in connection with prices
charged for Louisiana sugar. The De-
mocrats opposed the project, charging
that it was designed as an Indirect
impeachment of Mr.. Palmer and only
intended as a means of checking the
''growing popularity" Of a Democratic
presidential aspirant
In reply the Republicans charged
that the President and Mr.. Palmer
were directly responsible for prevail
ing high sugar prices, that Mr.. Palmer
had no authority to recognize the high
figure at which Louisiana sugar sold,
and that he had failed to press actions
against profteers.
In two hours of debate on the resO.
luton, offered by Representative Tink-
ham, Republican, Massachusetts, De.
mocratic members asserted it was
covert" attack on Mr.. Palmer and
was calculated to direct public atten-
ton from failures of the incapable"
Republican leadership in Congress.
When the time limit expired the reso-
luton was put through by party
vote, 1852 to 1924, and the committee
will proceed with its inquiry.
Republicans asserted that the &C
tions of the Attorney General in re-
gard to the Louisiana growers caused
increased prices for the Cuban crop,
but this was denied by the Democrats,
who in turn asserted that his action
was Saving to the consumers"
"That Louisiana crop was just
enough to supply the United States
with sugar for one day." Representa-
tive Martin, Democrat, of Louisiana
asserted.
