Wasmngson.-An organised body oa
American women are In Washington,
for the first time since the suffrage
victory, making a concerted demand
upon Congress for the recognition Of
. policy to which they have dedicated
themselves.
These women, representatives of or.
yanizations having a membership OF
more than 100000 new voters" have
descended upon the Capitol for. the
purpose OF driving through the House
and Senate bill creating a Depart.
ment OF Education. the head Of which
is to sit in the Cabinet.
They have taken a strong position.
moreover, against the Mccormick Ken.
yon scheme which would create De.
partment of Public Welfare, bureau
Of which would be devoted to educa.
ton. These vigorous campaigners will
listen to no such proposition. They do
not want the cause of education sub.
merged in any executive department
They want it represented by depart.
ment OF its own and give full notice
that they will marshal the sentiment
Of American womanhoed behind that
program.
The organizations. all of them ma.
tional in their scope, represented at
the conferences now in progress In
Washington are the National League
Of Women Voters Mothers Congress
and Parent-Teachers' Association. the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
and the National Educational Associa.
tion. Allied with these bodies, but not
participating in the Washington con.
ferences. are the National Council of
Jewish Women, the Women's Trade
Union League and the Daughters OF
the American Revolution.
Not much attention was paid to the
wOmen's conclave until the assembled
group of new politicians made public
.heir program and somewhat pic
turesQue argument in behalf Of its
adoption.
In the first instance the women de-
1ounce severly the Mccormick meas
ure and that offered by Senator Ken
yon, of Iowa, which provide for q de-
2artment Of public welfare or social
welfare, a part of which is to be the
present Bureau of Education, now un.
der the Department of Interior.

twelve years ago and opened up the
first theater on Pleasant Hill. From
the beginning this playhouse was well
patronized and the building filled at
every show. However, just at the
peak of it's success the building was
swept away by fire, about one year
after its opening.
Remembering how the people of
Bogalusa, had appreciated the old
playhouse, Mr.. Blanchard looked
about for a new location and shortly
after leased the building which is
now the home of the best motion pic
lures in this section of the state. The
building was enlarged last year and
now has a seating capacity of about
nine hundred.
Mrs. r. Blanchard attends to the
active management of the business
and it is due to her ability to select
the best in pictures, that BOgalusans
may boast of the fact that they are
enabled to see some of the best plays
several weeks before they appear at
the larger theaters of New Orlans.
Hr frequent trips to the Crescent
City allow her to keep in touch with
the first-class exhibitors and secure
advance bookings before the other
playhouses in this section have even
heard of them.
Her son, Claude, attends to all of
the advertising business and it is
through his efforts that the citizens
of Bogalusa are kept posted on what
is best in the motion picture world.
Music is furnished at every per-
Torrance by Miss Inez Blanchard,
who has studied at the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music, and always
renders the music suitable to the

expect only the newest and best pic
lures at the Garden Theater.
The name of the park has also
been changed and will be known as
the Terrace Gardens, and will be de-
veloped into more of city park
where all outdoor public events can
be held.

All of the improvements have not
been completed, but the work WIN
be continued until Bogalusa can lay

yesterday afternoon IN the Y. Nj. {. A
1t was planned that the services should
be held ON Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thurs
DAYS and Fridays, during Lent, in some
church that is located In the business sec
ton of The city, so that all may be per
mitted to participate. Prominent speak
ers of different denominations will be Sc
cured for these meetings. 1t IL also ex-
peeted that a large male chorus will be
organized TO provide singing. Howard l..
Seanon WAS elected chairman of the com
mittee and Arthur II. Lind secretary.
Harry 4. Speakman was appointed chair
man OF the committee on speakers and
Josiah Marvel, III. +. Price and Charles B..
Palmer comprise the committee on at
tendance
Services OF this nature have not been
held by the Episcopal Church for about
nine years, when they took place in st.
Andrews Speakers for the services at
that time were selected from the Episco-
pal denomination only. The services held
next year will be unlike those held at that
time, in that the speakers will represent
various denominations. Committees will
be appointed from the various men clubs
to cooperate with the Episcopal Church
committee in making the revived Lenten
services success. The services, according
10 present plans. will be of only few
minutes duration. The church in which
they will be held has not vet been Sc
lected, though it is thought probable that
