CONVENTION CITY.

Preparations will soon be made
to entertain here in April, the
members of the Knights Templer>
who will hold an encampment here
for three days, beginning Sunday
April 18th. From what we learn
there will be something like three
hundred members Of that organi-
cation here on that occasion and
we are promised one of the most
attractive parades ever held by
sany fraternal association that has
ever visited our City.
Another convention Of equal
prominence will be the meeting
here of the American Legion OF
Louisiana. An attractive pro-
gram is being arranged by the
local camp to raise funds, so that
when these American boys as
semble in New Iberia they will be
met with such hospitality on the
part of our citizens that will leave
a most favorable impression.
In a few weeks more, the new
Elk Home. one Of the finest and
most creditable Of any city IN
Louisiana, outside of New Orleans,
will be completed. The Home will
be a crcGit to tie citizens of New
iberia and it IS the intention to
extend in,mations to all of the
Orders ir louisiana to 'be with us
fer the dedication ceremonies. 1t
was thought best to await the
completion of the paving of Main
Street, so that our guests can see
for themselves the civic improve
ments now underway.
New iberia can now be made
the convention city" of Louisl-
ana since we have ideal railroad
transportation facilities. We must
leave nothing undone that Will
make a favorable impression upon
the visitor. In that way New
iberia will soon become the best
advertised City in the State, ana
it will be to our advantage. We
can Justly lay claim to having the
most attractive City in the State
when we finish our street paving
and it will be up to us to prepare
to assume the distinction that
rightfully belongs to us. In, no
better way can we advertise New
iberia than through conventions
and it behooves us to make our
CITY Just as attractive as possible.

1T MAY MAKE HIM FRIENDS

Settlement of the great affairs
of the world cannot wait on any
thing as uncertain as the life and
health of one man.
There are those who believe that
Europe should be normally al
lowed to run her own affairs. Few
realize how pitifully and hope
lessly these affairs have always
been involved.
Scores of different races of peo-
pie inhabit Europe-some OF
mixed blood, many of pure blood.
They are descendants of ancient
tribes who found their way west
ward before the dawn of recorded
history. Back of each of these
peoples is a tribal and national
history. When great wars sweep
Europe new nations spring up and
old nations are submerged. Be.
tween wars there are plots, aglta
tions and counter-plots.
Europe has been held semi
peaceful by the maintenance of
balance of power among the ma
tions. The Gins" sympathize witt
the nations who are partners il
this particular league or associa
ton of powers. The "outs" ar
as a rule in passive or activ
sympathy with the other side

Secretary Lansing had followed
his policy to the breaking point
with France, Great Britain and
Italy. Since he has dismissed
Lansing and has taken charge, he
has brought about at least a
temporary impasse with those
countries in this matter.
Many words Of wisdom by
countless editors and statesmen
have been poured out in efforts
lasting through many centuries to
settle Europe's world affairs. We
doubt that we can add much of
value here to the discussion of this
subject.
Our own thought is that war
is very much like an epidemic
which must run its course. The
true solution of Europe's vexed
affairs may eventually lie in a Uni
ed States of Europe. SeI-determ-
nation, the alleged liberation of
all sorts Of people, the setting up
of scores Of small nationalities,
can be vindicated on a logical and
plausible theory. Against that
theory is the experience of our
own nation, for the United States
have been growing closer and
closer together since the fOrma-
ton of the union. The logic of
economics forms trusts and vast
combinations Of capital and labor.
The great nation tends to grow
greater by a sort of irresistible
impulse in the nature of man.
A year ago the President of the
United States stood forth. a sort
of unique figure in the world,
preaching a doctrine which many
of us could not wholly under
stand; a doctrine of ideaGsm. He
seemed to want to bring about an
organization of the world which
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1920-02-21

would set all peoples free and
provide against the rapaclty OF
greed and stupidity Of human be-
ings in their occasional business
of engaging in wholesale slaugh-
ter of other human beings, and
in their wholesale destruction of
the wealth and civilization of the
world. In this he expressed the
idealism and the common sense Of
this nation.
Then the great victorious ma
tions of Europe began to meas
ure his statements by the yard
sticks of their own national dSt
pirations and ambitions. The
enemy was PROSTATE. What he
had left and what he could hope
to earn was theirs for the taking.
Each victorious nation reckOned
its losses. And each one sad
substantially that what Mr.. Viii
son said and what America hoped
for could not have been meant
for them.
So they began to do what they
have always done in the past.
They were perfectly willing to
have America guarantee the col
lection of their debts from the
conquered nations and to guaran-
tee them their boundaries. But
the division must be made first.
That division is going on. Words
may retard it, but we frankly
doubt that they will stop it.
Meantime our own nation is
less ard less united on the sub
jtct of participation in the affairs
of Europe. Mr.. Wilson may be-
making friends at home as we'll
as abroad by declaring for the
policy of non-intervention by
America in EurOpe's affairs. -

The home Mr.. Browning described,

creation of this novel home has cost
a fortune, besides considerable time
and labor on the part of artists, de-
signers and skilled workmen of the
foremost rank in this country and
Europe
When Mr.. Browning decided that
he wanted a city home different
from any other that he had seen or
heard about, he called on Emil A.
w. Mahlau, who for many years was
associated with the German imperial
architect Jaffe, and who made a big
reputation for himself by his work
at the Chicago Exhibition in 1892.
Mr.. Mahlau in turn cabled to Eu-
rope for twenty men to assist him.
For two years Mahlau and his asso-
ciates worked on the twenty-four
rooms.
Sunshine Garden is perhaps the
most novel home in all New York.
In the first place, lake within a
home, large enough to permit a boat
to be rowed about, is distinctly un-
usual. The lake is several feet deep
and is the sporting ground for hun
dreds of goldfishes and other kinds,
some of which are eight and ten
inches long. Birdmen in this part of
the country must have seen Mrs.
Browning in her boat on the lake.
Now that summer is rapidly ap-
preaching, Sunshine Garden is being
prepared for sweltering nights The
Brownings and their guests often
spend the warm evenings up there
in the path of the cooling breezes
which come across Central Park or
from the Hudson River. The garden
in summer is fairyland. both day
and night. The thirty-three flower
beds, more than 10000 geraniums
banked about the lake, make a
pretty picture. At one end of the
lake is a sun dial and at the other
a sixteen-inch crystal
At night the place is lighted with
colored lights. The lake becomes a
pool of fire and over it hang rain
bow. A steady spray of water is
shot into the air from each side of
the lake. Shining through the
water are the colored rays from
two hundred ffty-candle power
lamps. In through the trellis, the
flower beds and on the arches
in the garden wink and blink little
electric lamps, representing firefiies
and stars.
Mosquitoes "Vacuum Cleaned
Mosquitoes and summer night
pests are not feared in Sunshine
Garden, because there are none
there. The reason is that provisions
have been made to destroy them as
rapidly as they make an assault.
The little enemies are tricked into
coming in front of powerful suction
fans by the rays Of searchlight.
AS soon as the mosquito or darning
needle gets within a few feet Of the
light he is sucked into a wide-mouth
glass funnel and down into a recep-
tacle, where he is killed electrically

feature, is like hotel of twelve com,

pets of Mrs. Browning, who has
trained them to carry messages from

1t was because Mr.. and Mrs.
Browning desired to make Dorothy
Lane, a little lady of three years
old, their own that the story of the
lake and the ingeniously arranged
home of the Brownings came to
light. The Judge who held the
power to deny or approve the sup
plications of Mr.. and Mrs. Browning
for the right to the parentage of the
little girl asked, as is natural in such
matters, the character of the home
they would provide for the child.
There was nothing for Mr.. Brown
ing to do but lay the wonders of his

Of Natural History, before the
Judge, who was startled by the story
told.

A Room for Birds

The fairyland is made very real by
the sweet song of 250 songbirds, who
have a room to themselves at one end
Of the main music room. They live
in a woodland about the size Of the
living room in an ordinary apart
ment house. In it there are trees,
hills and mountains. At the base, or
rather, in the floor Of the room, is
lake. The ceiling is. painted TO
represent the sky. At a certain
hour every evening, winter or sum-
mer, fair weather or foul, a three
quarter moon throws its silver ray
over this miniature woodland. Little
stars also twinkle. The coming of
the moon and the stars is automati-
cally arranged, so that Miss Dorothy
and her little sister will not know
for many years but that this wood
land, lake and mountain are real.
The songsters are held in the wood
land by strands on strands of the
finest piano wire stretched across
the opening between it and the
music room.
The living room, which comes
next, transports the visitor back to
the Middle Ages 1t is of the Gothic
period, with furniture, ornaments
and decorations. simple and 'subdued.
