TO the Editor Of Womon's Page:
Dear Madam--will you kindly tell me
through your column how to remove oil
and perspiraton stains from trousers.
M G.
Rub the stains with carbon tetra-
chlorid, which can be bought at the
drug store first Of all. II this does not
take them out, spread magnesia or
French chalk thickly over the spot and
work It gently around. AS soon as 1t
becomes gummy brush II off and apply
more. Repeat this until most or the
stain is removed, then apply more pow
der and allow It to remain over night
or longer II possible. Then dust or
brush of the powder thoroughly. To
make sure that no ring remains to
show where the stain has been, place
brown paper on each side of the stain
and press for several minutes with a
warm iron. Sponging with water and
ammonia is tho best thing to remove
the perspirauon.

Ex.SOLDIERS MUST PAY 1920
POLL TAX.
Women Voters Also Advised to Pay
And Be On Safe Side.

All veterans of the World War
who have been exempt from paying
poll tares, and have been allowed to
vote this year without poll tax re-
ceipts, are requested to note that
this exemption ends with this year,
and that their 1920 poll tax must be
paid before December 31st, 1920, or
they will be unable to vote In 1921.
Women Should Also Pay.
While the Attorney Generals Of
flee has rendered an opinion that wo-
men voters need no poll tax until the
law is changed, are also warned that
this is merely an opinion and may at
any time be set aside by higher au-
thority.
So as to be safe against disquali
fication our suffragette friends should
pay their dollar poll tax to Sheriff
Landry's Office before the close of the
present year.
Even though the Attorney Gener-
ais opinion should remain unchanged,
your dollar is not wasted, as it goes
into the parish public school fund,
and dollar is little to pay to assure
your right to vote being uncontested.

Hon. Walter j. Burke was the
first speaker, and in his customary
calm, forceful manner paid eloquent
tribute to the soldiers who by their
great sacrifice in Europe made possi-
BILE the celebration of this victory.
Hon. Jules Dreyfus then delivered
a splendid address on the qualities of
Americanism in our people which
made it possible for our citizen-sol-
diers to route the most highly train
ed fighting machine in the world.
In spite of all our patriotism when
aroused, the American people as a
whole are too ready to forget heroic
sacrifice, and too quick to let bust
mes and pleasure erase from our
hearts and minds critical experiences
once they are passed.
Such demonstrations serve a good
purpose in keeping awake the fires of
patriotism in the older citizens, and
are the best means of developing a.
strong love of home and country in
the hearts of our growing generation.
It is hoped that on each Armistice
Day New Iberia will turn out for a
similar celebration.

An attempt to build up the health

Home Service is still a necessary

it's capacity for disaster relief, SO
that there shall be in constant readi-

So throughout the entire land the
Red Cross is striving to salvage the
spirit of cooperation aroused by the
war and to turn it to the public good.
To this end it needs the service and
cooperation of every man, woman
and child in the country.

years conference when by the four
year rule he was to be removed, a
special ruling was invoked by which
a unanimous vote of the Stewards
and majority vote of the Bishops
Cabinet permitted him to remain in
this city for an additional year.

ARMIST|CE DAY FITT|NGLY OBSERVED BY
THIS CITY AND PARISH.
Large Crowds Witness Imposing Street Parade and
Hear Eloquent Addresses.

New Iberia's celebration of the
second Anniversary Of the signing
of the Armistice will go down in the
records as one of the big days in
this city.
Long before noon time the streets
began to fill with visitors from the
country and neighboring towns, and
by one o'clock when all the stores and
/ business places closed, Main Street
was lined with automobiles and the
sidewalks jammed with people.
On Wednesday Hon. H. S. Sealy
had issued his official proclamation
which read as follows:
PROCLAMATION: /, Havert s..
Sealy, Mayor of the City Of New
Iberia, do hereby proclaim Thursday,
November the 11th, 1920 half holi-
day beginning with the hour of l P.
M. The people of New Iberia are
hereby urged to lend their co-opera-
ton in fittingly celebrating ARMS
TICE DAY and more especially to
close all of their businesses from the
hour Of / P. M, in order that all
might attend the patriotic exercises
commemorative of the day to be held
on the Court House Square.
(Signed) HAVERT S. SEALY,
Mayor.
The celebration was in charge of
the local post of the American Le-
pion, and with the cooperation Of
Miss Beulah Wood Fite, local Red
Cross worker, a patriotic and indus
trial parade had been arranged and
speakers provided.
Headed by the World War veterans
in full uniform, the procession left
the High School grounds promptly at
3 o'clock, and with the New Iberia
brass band next in line swung into
Main Street where waiting throngs
greeted them with lusty din of
cheers.
Immediately behind the band
marched a detachment of Junior Red
Cross girls in uniform, followed by
the Camp Fire girls of the High
School. Then came the pupils of the
Mount Carmel Convent, st. Peters
College and the public schools, in the
ordere named, and numbering probab-
" well on to fifteen hundred.

vii War Veterans, gray heroes Of the

A program whose carrying out will
inform the European immigrant o
the advantages of the South as ;
point of settlement will be formulat
ed Friday, at meeting of the agri
cultural authorities and commercial
Representatives from Louisiana, Tex.
as, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkan-
sas, at the Association of Commerce
headquarters in New Orleans.
The meeting was called by Justin
F. Denechaud, immigration commits
sioner. Primarily and fundamentally
the meeting will be one which is to
map out the plans for bringing i'm
migrants to the South, which part of
the United States gets at present less
than one-tenth of one percent of all
the immigrants that reach the United
States.
Passenger Line is Open.
The fact that practically none of
the flood of immigrants now pouring
into this country reaches the South
was brought out recently when, with
the opening of the first Europe-to-
New Orleans-direct passenger line a
movement was initiated to "make
Algiers the Ellis Island of the
South"
This was undertaken, too, in view
of the fact that the congestion at
Ellis Island was so great, that news
papers all over he country began to
protest against the admission of i'm
migrants on the most superficial and
cursory kind of examination, due to
the rush and crowding at Ellis Is
land.
Correspondence with United States
Commissioner Caminetti disclosed the
fact that most of the immigrants ar
irving at Ellis Island were already
ticketed through to their destinations.
Sixty percent of them went to the
West; New England received Is per-
cent, and New York received Is per-
cent. The South received one-tenth
of one percent.
South Must Act Alone.
Mr.. Caminetti indicated that while
it was desirable to relieve the con-
gestion at Ellis Island, and while the
immigrants could do much to relieve
the shortage of productive agricul-
tural labor in the South, nothing
could be done by his department in
the way of directing the course the
should take after they
arrived in this country.
"The only method to bring about
this result" he suggested, "is to
reach the European before his desti-
nation has been determined upon"
And it is largely to work out ways
and means SO to reach the European,
and incidentally to induce him to :

determine upon" the South, that tn
meeting for next Friday in New Or
leans has been called.
1--WE cannot afford to be selfish il
working out such a broad plan,
Commissioner Denechaud declare,
Tuesday morning. "We have there
fore invited the sister states of tn,
South to join us in working out thi
thing on comprehensive scale"
Move Widespread.
Mr.. Denechaud has already preach
ed his doctrine at various large gath
erings throughout the South, and re
Gently, at Shreveport, the Louisiana
Commercial Secretaries Association
endorsed his plan. Representatives
from the various chambers of com
merce, state officials, and employers
of agricultural labor will be present
at Fridays conference.
The preliminary idea, it is beleiev-
ed, will be to establish regular bu-
reau of publicity and information,
somewhere in Central Europe, where
prospective immigrants may learn of
the advantages of settling in the
South, where neither the cities, the
farms, nor the opportunities are over
crowded.
Whether or not Iberia Parish re-
ceives any of these European immi-
grants, this locality cannot help but
receive direct and lasting benefits
from this movement to direct thou
sands of incoming citizens into the
Gulf States.
1t is the intention of those foster
ing the project to work principally on
those immigrants who will want to
settle in an agricultural and truck
growing section. AS a general rule
these men always buy their own land,
and with every new purchase of land
in this part of the country the values
of all such land will be increased.
The writer witnessed the great in
flux of German farmers into Illinois
and other states in the Great Corn
Belt number of years ago, and saw
as direct result those lands raise
in short time from an average price
of one hundred dollars an acre up to-
their present market value Of three
and fifty dollars.
If any considerable success is OBJ
tanned by Immigration Agent Justin
F. Denechaud in this new effort to)
direct thousands Of incoming Euro
peans to the Southland, Iberians may
look ahead only few years to two
hundred and fifty dollar land along
the Teche.
These new eomers will demand good
drainage and good roads, however,
and now is the time for us to get inI
line to meet their requirements.

JENNINGS VOTES TO CLOSE
~ MOVIES ON SUNDAY.
Re-Actionists Win Bitterly Contested
Election and City Takes Back
ward Step.

In last Tuesdays general election
interest in all local contests and even
the fight for the Presidents chair,
was overshadowed in our neighboring
city of jennings by referendum
vote as to whether or not the citi-
zens Of that place shall have the
privilege Of going to moving picture
shows on Sunday.
As a rather sad documentary on the
spirit Of tolerance and the principle
of self-determination of strictly NOR
al questions, we Must state as mat
Ter of fact that the. vote stood 365 to
345 in favor of closing the amuse-
Iment houses on Sunday.
Such arbitrary legislation as this
harks back to the days of the Inqui-
sition, when men were jailed, and Of
ten executed for a difference Of re-
ligious opinion. In sharp contrast
to this drastic action taken by ma
jority seeking to force their personal
views onto their rieighbors we find in
the City papers in all more progress
sive parts of the country, accounts
/ Of church congregations installing
moving picture outfits in their audi
toriums where free picture shows are
given every Sunday evening.
It is the old contest between the
two ideas Of morality by example and
precept.
"Blue Laws" have never accom-
plished any lasting good, and usually
react heavily on the misguided COM
munity that enacts them.
Drastic forcing of personal opinion
on moral questions has never built
up a progressive city. On the con-
trary, such law as that passed in
jennings, closing the town on Sun
days to such harmless amusements
of recreational nature as movie
show, on the only day in the seven
when the laboring man has chance
is a knock to town that will hurt
it inestimably.
There Is really no moral issue in
volved, and such action is species
Of intolerance that has no justifica-
ton this side Of the Dark Ages.
