Balloons and an AIrpIane.

Writing Of the passing of an Avro

Port Elizabeth. a South African news
paper has the following to say: 'Mr.
Norman Chase relates n peculiar expe-
rlence he had in connection with the
plane. He was bathing at Kamaehs,
when he noticed n number of balloons
which were In the vicinity showing I'M
mistakable signs of fear. They crowd
ed together and whlmpered. giving
every indication that something
unusual had disturbed them. Mr..
Chase's dog, well-trained Airedale,
and known to be plucky and fearless.
also became uneasy, and appeared to be
in dread OF something. On looking
round for the cause Of all the trouble.
Mr.. Chase observed the airplane flying
overhead at a comparatively low al
titude. The sound OF the engine and
the huge birdlike appearance Of the
plane no doubt upset the equilibrium

WAR ON RATS AT ALL PORTS
Campaign to Prevent 5ubonic Plague
Is Strongly Urged BY Surgeon
General Cumming.

Misunderstanding attention to the
appearance of bubonic plague in sew
eral American and Mexican gulf ports
and renewing his warning regarding
the introduction of plague from Medi-
terranean ports, which are known to
be infected, Surgeon General Cum
ming urged communities throughout
the country, and especially along the
coast, to inaugurate INSTRUMENTATION
campaigns.
"Bubonic plague is primarily a dis
ease of rodents, especially rats" said
Gen. Cumming, "and the disease can
be controlled effectively by measures
directed against the rat. The extermi-
nation of rats also is to be desired be-
cause OF the tremendous economic

RAIL DECISION
TO COME JULY 20
JUDGE BARTON, CHAIRMAN or
BOARD, GIVES INFORMATION
TO ALLAY UNREST.
PROBABLE MEN WILL WAIT
Head of Brotherhood Of Railway Train
men Declares the Men Would
Have Quit Work at Mid
night Saturday.

Chicago.-A decision on the de-
mands of railroad employees for wage
increases will be made on or before
July 20 by the Railway Labor Board,
Judge R. M. Barton, chairman, said
in a statement. The award would be
retroactive to May |, the statement
said.
According to w. G. Lee, president
of the Brotherhood OF Railway Train
men and spokesman for union leaders,
who gathered here, the boards declara-
ton would end all danger of a general
strike.
Mr.. Lee said that secret plans had
been made by disaffocted union ele-
ment to spread the strike throughout
the country because of the continued
delay in announcing the wage ruling.
"The men would havo quit at mid
night Saturday" Mr.. Lee said. 1T
was impossible to hold them longer.
Men OF my organization have been
waiting patiently for nearly year"
The railway boards statement de-
clared that an agreement on a method
of working out the wage problems
has been arrived at and that no time
would be lost in reaching a conclu-
sion.
Lee and other representatives Of the
organized railroad brotherhoods who
met here to discuss the railroad wage
situation, said there was no doubt the
men would be satisfied with tho srom-
Use of decision to relieve their i'm
patience.
I'VE came here to prevent strike,
and at the same time to obtain full
satisfaction for the men," Timothy
Shea, president of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen, said in COM
menting on the boards announce
ment.
I'VE have held our men back for
three months, ever since the outlaw
strikes began. We have lost 10000
men by revoking charters of unions
which called walkouts. Well not hold
the others another week, If the board
had not promised us to announce its
decision in the immediate future.
THE biggest walkouts have been In
the east, where the outlaw unions
have no organization. Definite an
nouncement to show they will get a
wage increase dating from May /, and
not later than July 20, will do much
to prevent a general strike of the
Hines"
But the board would have done
much better to have rromiseiNa de-
cision before July /. Three weeks
and half is a long time to wait in
the present impatient temper of the
men

ATTORNEY GENERAL SUBMITS A
LENGTHY OPINION UPON THIS
MOST ABSORBING TOPIC.
US. CONSTITUTION SUPREME
Quotes Opinion of Solicitor General
FrIerson and Decision of United
States Supreme Court To
Back His Decision.

Nashville.-In an opinion handed
down to Gov. Roberts, Attorney Gen.
eral Frank M. Thompson holds that the
general assembly Of Tennessee II CALI
ed in extraordinary session can ratify
the federal suffrage amendment with
out violation Of the provision Of the
constitution of Tennessee, which for
bids ratification of a federal amend.
ment by legislature not elected sub
seQuent to the adoption of the federal
amendment by the federal congress.
The opinion goes into the legal phase
of the question in detail and numerous
authorities are cited for the basis
of his opinion. Gen. Thompson also
cited correspondence had between him
and Congressman Cordell Hull Of Ten
nessee and Solicitor General William
L. Frierson.
Citing the decision OF the United
States supreme court in the Ohio case
and in other cases bearing upon like
questions, Gen. Thompson declares
from the foregoing principles estab.
lished by the supreme court of the
United States, If l understand them
correctly, / have reached the follow.
ing conclusions:
"(a) That the legislature of Tennes-
see derives its power to legislate upon
all domestic matters directly from the
people OF Tennessee, restrained only by
the constitution of Tennessee.
"(b) That the act OF ratification Of
the proposed Nineteenth amendment to
the federal constitution is not legis.
latiVe act or function, but govern
mental or political act or function.
"(c) That the legislature Of Tennes-
see derives the power to perform this
governmental or political function Of
ratification, or of refusing to ratify
this suffrage or Nineteenth amend
ment, from the fifth article of the con-
stitution of the United States, and not
from the people of Tennessee in its re-
organized form as state government,
or from the constitution of Tennessee.
"(d) That therefore the legislature
of Tennessee would not be controlled
by said Section 80 of article two of the
Tennessee constitution II it should
meet in extraordinary session and
either ratify or decline to ratify said
suffrage or Nineteenth amendment.
"(e) think, therefore, that II the
legislature of Tennessee should be
called in extra session and should see
proper to ratify this suffrage amend.
ment and disregard Section 80 OF art.
icie two of the Tennessee constitution
and the question should be made that
its act was invalid because of the Ten
nessee's constitution, that the supreme
court of the United States would hold
that the legislature of Tennessee de-
rived its power for its act from the
fifth article OF the federal constitution,
and II 1t derived any power at all from
the Tennessee constitution, particu-
larly Article 2, Section 80, the same Is
in conflict with the federal constitu-
ton, the latter instrument being the
supreme law of the land"

Let'S Celebrated

Natchitoches has particular rea.
sons why Armistice Day should
be celebrated with much ecIat and
ceremony and it is time to begin
planning for this celebration.
The particular reasons why
Everybody in Natchitoches should
want to celebrate is because when
November 1lth. 1918 brought to
an end the terrible war in which
the flower of our young manhood
was participating, up to that time
Natchitoches had been particularly
blessed, as only one OF her boys
had been the direct victim of Ger
many's unhoIy lust, and Novem-
Der 1lth brought all danger Of
losing any more, to an end.
And maybe we didn't show oar
JOY and happiness on that mem.
orable day by giving the biggest
local celebration that the old city
ever had, but as it was necessarily
an lmpromptu affair, it was agreed
then and there that it would be
done over again the next year
with the greatest preparation that
such an important event deserved.
But alas, the day slipped I,y
without the tiniest bit of public
celebration, for which there were
some reasons, but now that things
are practically normal again. all
our boys are back safe and sound,
it is mete and proper that we
should celebrate as community,
city and Larish, so as to honor our
boys as they so richly deserve.
One good suggestion has been
made by prominent, patriotic
ci,izcn who would like to have tie
little park ut the head of Front
street dedicated to our American
Legion with proper ceremony,
plant historic trees, etc.
Why not do 50 and have big
barbecue and all day fiesta, with
the whole parish citizenship par
ticipatiny as hosts and guests all
make it big gct-to |
gether meeting which will re. !
bound to our parish good and
closer fellowship!
Won't the American Legion
and Chamber of Commerce, both
parish organizations, ee, together
AT ONCE and call upon any and
every organization and individual
% help celebrate Armistice Day
n a GREAT BIG WAY? Just a
title over a month in which to
'lan, SO get busy at once. as No
,ember llth is close at hand.
Everb .dy is invited TO suggest
,lans aud publicity will be given
hem thru these columns.
