GREAT LITTLE BALL PLAYER
Only One Thing Wrong With Mary
Ellen Was That, as . Pitcher,
She Lacked Control.

Four-year-old Mary Ellen dearly
loves to play with her seven-year-old
brother and his little friends. To
make herself what he labels a good
fellow" she initiates all their traits.
Now she is permitted TO go with them
outside and play outside games.
And recently they have begun to
play ball. Mary Ellen's part in this
has been for the most part chasing
stray balls. But In her heart she
aspires to be a pitcher. And the 9TH
cr day when her mother was out in
the yard she exhibited her ability in
that line. Don't you think / pitch
good, mother?" she asked. "Why,
throw out my leg every time / throw
the ball-just like the man did out
at the ball park"
And she did. too, every time,
though the ball went wild and landed
quite in the opposite direction from
which 1t had been almed.-Exchange.

evening there declared he could not
remain because he had promised his
wife he would come home.
'rll fix It for you" said Lardner. and
darted into the phone booth. Present
ly he emerged, shouting:
TITS all right. old chap. your wife
says you can stayl"
How In the world did you manage
to bring her round?" asked the amazed
man.
Easy" replied Laraner. II told
her you were roaring drunk and should
| bring you home or keep you here,
and she said:

SHORTAGE OF HOMES is NOW
VERY SERIOUS.
Action Is Taken This Week
TO Secure Relief.

The rapidly increasing shortage
of livable homes in New iberia
has been made the subject OF
much discussion of late, and the
condition has suddenly become
very acute with the location Of the
Charles BoIdt Paper Mills plant
in this city.
1t was found this week that no
less than IA dozen residences Will
be required to house the skilled
labor and officials of the factory.
these houses being of five or SIX
rooms size, and rentable at from
$50 to $40 month.
A meeting of realty men and
others interested was held Monday
evening in the Chamber of Com
merce room to see what can be
done toward providing these
necessary homes
AS sort of "first aid" PROPOSE
ton 1t was decided 10 see il several
property owners cannot be induced
to repair and modernize some oil
their present houses with the
assurance that suitable tenants al
fair prices will be provided.
To handle the phase Of the
subject committee was appointed
consisting of Mr. A. B. Murray
Mayor Sealy and r A. Jacob.
Of course, this will be only a
slight relief of conditions, Al
according to the real estate mel
present at the meeting, twenty
five good, modern houses could bt
rented in days time if they were
aVallbale.
There was considerable talk 81
forming Realty Company to
build homes and sell them Oh the
monthly payment plan. From
indications Ii seems quite probable
that such a business Will be
established here before long.
