Editorials For
Women Folks

She's been such a madcap from
the very first!
She kept your nerves on edge
during her baby days by trying to
jump from her high chair for some
icolorful thing Just out of her reach.
When school days. with their skat-
ing and shedding came, she was al
ways just a little nearer the edge
of the ice than any of the others
and she insisted upon putting her
own small feet against the guide
ropes and steering the bob sled
along the slippery ruts.
She always Investigated what
other girls accepted as a fact. She
always dared when others hung
3ack and were afraid.
1t IA never sufficient to tell. her
that h mustn't or shouldn't. She
wanted to know why and proceeded
to find out.
1t didn't make so much difference
then. She was just o little girl with
a little girls problems.
But now she's twenty years old!
And she's still just the madcap she
was when the colorful things just
beyond her baby reach fascinated
her, ard just the same little human
question mark and adventurer.
So it won't do to tell this little
daughter of yours to be good and
fine spirited and sweet and then
finish with that vague phrase "be-
cause it pays" You'll have to make
plain her to why the good way, the
sweet way, is the best way. She's
young. Her eyes are still blinded
by the glamour of things and so, as
she considers the world from her
youthful standpoint, appearances
will all too often make of your
phrase something that doesn't fit.
She must be shown that for every
good time which goes beyond con-
V%entions, there is regret which lasts
through all of the years.
She must know that for every
smile on the face of a girl decked
out in ill-gotten finery, there is an
ache in that little girls heart when
she is alone and must face herself.
She must know that wealth not
honorably acquired means eventual
wreckage.
She must understand that there
Is no escape and accounting.
She must be shown that good wo-
men are invariably happy women.

I turned fromthe phone.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Oysters should be cooked as care
fully as eggs. They contain an al
luminous substance that must be
slowly cooked at a low temperature,
just like the white of egg. Excessive
heat hardens and toughens and
therefore makes an oyster hard to
digest.
Oysters fried in deep fat are so
protected by their coating of crumbs
and egg and are exposed to the ex-
cessive heat for such a short time
that the oyster itself Is properly
cooked and easily digested.
Fried Oysters
Eighteen large oysters, / lemon,
cracker dust, cracker crumbs, / egg,
salt and pepper.
Wash, drain and pick over oysters.
Sprinkle with the strained juice of
the lemon. Season the cracker dust
with salt and pepper. Roll each
oyster carefully in the cracker dust
and let stand a few minutes to abb
sorb. Roll again in the cracker dust,
dip in the egg slightly beaten with l
tablespoonful of water and roll in
the coarser crumbs. Fry about three
minutes in deep hot fat. Drain on
brown paper and serve at once. II
is a saving of time and money to fry
oysters in deep fat rather than In a
small amount of fat in a frying pan
Pigs in Blankets
Twelve large oysters, IL thin slices
of bacon, toothpicks, lemon juice.

Sprinkle with lemon juice. Roll each
oyster in a slice of bacon and faster

oysters. Cook, turning frequently
until the bacon is crisp and brown

excessive heat, the oyster is protect.

somehow has managed to pass them
by.
But who is qualified to frame a
brand new definition of love?
Even the professors who delve in
to the secrets of the sub-conscious,
or the unconscious, mind have so
far treated love only by its symp-
toms.
They have accumulated a vast
store Of information about how love
acts and almost nothing about what
love is. They tell III that love pro-
duces our dreams, promotes our
business enterprises. dlsturbs our
politics, and provokes u wars.
Like electricity, love is manifest
but undefinable. At least, no two
persons can agree upon a definition.
Just as women of all ages ask
What is Love-" so opinion-makers
of all professions can chorus. 1--WE
do not know!"

That beauty is the only asset
required to assure a girl success in
the movies is a fallacy, but it is a
popular belief.
Animated by it, many of Alice
Calhoun's fans send her their pic
lures, asking if the originals are
qualified for camera work.
Some are so charming that she
often wonders why fate directed
her instead of some other into the
world of photo play.
Beauty is essential-but beauty
of face and figure alone will not
suffice for enduring success. There
must be beauty of soul-and this
beauty is achieved by resistance to
the temptations that beset the girl
on her way to stardom.
These temptations are not neces-
sarily of shadowland. There are
many outsiders who make it their
a%vocation to prey upon the girls
and women of screen or stage.
These seem to think that because a
girl entertains the public, she is
public property.
Strength of soul usually goes
hand in hand with health of body.
And given a certain amount of
good looks, of a kind which will

spinsters that Love is Friendship
set on Fire." or that 1t is Natures
Trap" or Love is a Rainbow Arch
set between Desire and Death" One
might string fine words into SMILES
indefinitely, and In the end, leave
the spinsters only with the ancient
idea. that love is the ruling human
instinct.
Another Seeker after the Truth
about Love sends this:
"Art-literature-gossip have al
ways taught m that love is her
supreme need and source of happi-
ness. Consequently the life of WON
an is lopsided. She is over-develop-
ed emotionally. She suffers accord
ingly. Isn't it time to tell her the
truth ?"
Now the real truth about love as
recently stated by more than n
student of the human mind does
not rank owe as the first of the
inherited instincts.
That's news of importance to the
emotionally "lopsided" sex.
Love has been given the second
place in modern scientific interpre-
tations of life and behavior.
Hunger is the first of the urges;
without food, we die. After It
comes the sex urge. And the safety
urge is third in a procession of
many more.
To exalt love, to exaggerate Its
advantages has been a fixed habit
of uneasy humanity. It's disadvan-
tages are equal and opposite, an
idea thus condensed by Andre Tri-
don, author of a history of "Psycho-
analysis"

Christian Endeavor
Making Things Hum

Things are beginning to hum
around the Christian Endeavor So
ciety of the Presbyterian Church.
The active members have been di-
vided into companies of eight. with
an active captain and lieutenant at
the head of each, and strenuous
battle is being waged by the differ
ent companies to decide the winners
in a contest which started the first
Of the year and will end on March
31st.
The scores are marked up at the
regular Monday night business and
social gathering of the society at the
Y. w. G. A., and last Monday night,
after all scores had been posted, the
board showed the following:
Staff, under leadership of Joseph
Blackwell, 144 points; Company A,
under leadership of Miss Lena Mae
Mackie, 144 points; Company B, uIl-
der leadership of Cyril Davis, 132
points; Company G, under leadership
of Warren Jackson, 129 points.
Points are allowed for attendance
and participation in meetings, mis-
sionary work done as company,
Quiet Hour pledges, tithing pledges
and church attendance. It is worthy
of mention that since the contests
started, the church attendance of the
members has increased remarkably.
The attendance at prayer meeting
last Wednesday was one of the larg-
est the church has ever known and
most of those present were young
people.
The new staff, under the guidance
of Ed N. Adams, president, has taken
hold of affairs and is progressing
nicely,
The junior societies have been re-
organized, an intermediate society
will be formally organized next Sun
day morning and a meeting has been
arranged for tonight Thursday at
the Y. W. C. A., for the purpose OF
organizing the Alumni. Everyone
interested in Christian Endeavor, but

Officials
Inspect City Property

Mayor Sullivan, the members of
the Commission Council, City Judge
OFT and City Attorney Talley spent
Tuesday inspecting all of the city
property. Tuesday morning, accom-
panied by the members of the School
Board, they visited every school in
the city and a number of suggestions
were offered the Mayor. Tuesday
afternoon the fire houses, city jail
and pumping station underwent in
spection by the party.
The inspection party was for the
purpose of looking over every bit of
city property so that the commits
sioners and city officials could keep
posted on the way the work of the
city was being carried out.
Mrs. ]. II. Cassidy, a member of
the School Board, accompanied the
officials and is credited with making
more good suggestions than any
other member of the party.
During the day the officials saw

First State Bank
Elects Directors

At the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the First State Bank
of Bogalusa, held last Tuesday, the
following directors were elected: L.
A. Pierce, J. H. Cassidy, w. H. Sui
livan, D. T. Cushing, H. Greenberg,
G. F. Hart of Sandy Hook, Miss. G.
R. Pope of Angie, La; W. M. Bah
ington and J. A. Spekenhier.
The directors then elected L. A.
Pierce, president; ]. H. Cassidy, first
vice-president; J. A. Spekenhier,
vice-president and cashier; w. M.
Darlington and E. E. Moore, assist
ant cashiers.
This old-established and substan-
tial institution, which has played such
a prominent part in the upbuilding
of this community, starts the new
year with a clean slate and a fresh
portfolio, swith no real estate, over
drafts or bills payable carried on the
books, and they evince pardonable
pride in the fact that the State Bank
ing Department carries them on their
Honor Roll.
A feeling Of the greatest optimism
permeated the meeting and, while de-
preston is at this time stalking
through the land, it was thought that
the year 1921 would be the greatest
in the history of the bank.

BIG CROWD SEES
MINSTREL SHOW

Tie Asulagob Minstrels, who
.pfIeertained at the Y. M. G. A. Tues
day night, were a great success. A
big crowd attended the show and at
the conclusion voiced their approval
of the entertainment in no few
words.
Claude Blanchard as "Sambo"
made a decided hit, while his part
ners in the four-man act, Blackwell,
Fendleson and Brayney, were a scant
step behind.
F. j. and Walter Taylor, Nixon,
Underwood, Day, Lemeler and Young
held down the singing end of the
program with their rag-time and
plantation songs.
Miss Ruth Voss starred in the
virginia Justice" the after-piece of
the evening.
The Y. M. C. A. orchestra rem
dered yeoman service with their
snappy music and the ticket-takers
at the door allowed no deadheads to
enter, so that there was nothing to
prevent it being a successful even
ing's performance.

WATER SISTER NOW
SHOULD BE EXTENDED

The recent fires in the vicinity of
Preston Quarters should convince the
Commission Council that the water
system should be extended to that
section of the city. From Third ave-
nue. to Richardsontown, back of CO.
lumbia Road, is unquestionably the
most thickly populated section of the
city and part Of this section has
no water or sewer system.
For the safety of the health Of the
city, as well as the protection Of
property, this section should have
water and sewerage just as soon as
the city has the money with which to
do the work. Should a fire gain head
way there, a score or more houses
would be certain to burn, and if an
epidemic broke out in that section it
would be hard to get under control.

PLAN TO GIVE
BROWNS BIG TIME

Work has alreay started on the two
ball parks of the city, which are to
be used by the st. Louis Browns this
year as training grounds. Ten or
fifteen men are at work every day
at the parks erecting the two new
clubhouses for the use of the team.
The new buildings VIII contain show
er baths, lavatory and about thirty
individual lockers.
The grounds-keeper of Heinemann
Park in New Orleans is coming up
this week to look over both parks
and advise Gardener Boyd on the
preparation Of the fields and dia-
monds.
The Browns will arrive in Boga-
lusa around the last of February and
it is expected will stay for about six
weeks. They will bring with them
about forty players, including staff
of twenty-one pitchers, for Manager
Lee Foil expects to turn out PEN
nant-winning team this year. First
Baseman George Sissler, one of the
leading hitters of the American
League, will also accompany the
team.
The players have been given spe-
cial rates at the Pine Tree Inn and
as soon as the team arrives, it is the
intention 70 Mayor Sullivan to give
a banquet in their honor.
A number of ball games between
the Browns and other big league
teams that are training in this vicin-
ity will be played during the sprng.
The Brooklyn Dodgers, last years
National League champions, are
training in New Orleans, the Kansas
City club is training at Monroe, La,
the New York Yankees at Shreveport
and the New Orleans Pelicans are
but 70 miles way. Bogalusa base

BOB LAMBRIGHT,. NOMINATED
FOR CADETSHIP BY GOVERNOR

Robert L. Lambright, first ser
geant Of Troop A Cavalry and physi-
cal instructor Of the Y. M. G. A., has
been nominated for a cadetship at
West Point Military Academy. The
announcement was made last week
and the appointment comes through
Governor Parker, who is allowed the
privilege each year Of nominating q
certain number of the enlisted mem
bers Of the National Guard, who have
had at least one years service there
in and have the necessary educational
qualifications.
Young Lambright resigned from
West Point last fall, after being ap-
pointed by Governor Sanders, but
since his return home has been
brushing up on his mathematic and
expects to have much easier shedding
at the academy this year.
