Enjoyable Dance.

The Elks gave another of their de-
lightful and enjoyable dances last
Wednesday night. There were about
fifty couples in attendance, many of
whom came from neighboring towns.
The many attractive young ladies, SO
neatly and becomingly dressed, made
"a picture of beauty and loneliness.
which was pleasing to gaze upon.
The dancing continued until the small
hours of the morning and all those
present had delightful time. It was
pronounced one of the SWEETEST social
events of the season. Claiborne Will
hams' orchestra, noted throughout
the state for its splendid jazz music,
was never in better trim than on this
occasion. The music was a special
treat In itself and elected much fav-
orable comment.

Stop Choppinp the Trees

Stop Chopping the Trees.
Donaldsonville, La, July p. 1921.
Editor Chief:
We wish to protest against the
chopplng Of our trees in July. It is
harmful to the trees and DESTROYS
their usefulness and beauty. The
months Of July and August are the
hottest in the year, yet our trees are
all chopped just at this time-not
trimmed, mind you, but just chop
ped without consideration or sym
pathy. One year the top is chopped,
another year. it is chopped all around.
Looks as if they want to kill the
trees. Perhaps we can guess the
reason why: They do not want to
nave to keep the cutters free of
leaves. How about weeds in the
cutters? We wish that some atten-
ton was given to weeds and the
trees left alone, or at least trimmed
IN better season. In all places of
any consequence the cultivation of
trees Is encouraged, but Donaldson
VILE seems bent on the destruction
Of their beauty and usefulness.

much of the disagreeable OdOrs. The
entire floor should slope to the drain,
provided with a "mud-trap."
Sliding Doors Convenient.
An arrangement of entrance doors
to the car room which has found popu-
lar favor consists of three sliding
doors working on an overhead track,
and so arranged that either one of the
end doors with the middle door Will
slide past the other end door; this ar
rangement allows twO-thirds of the
width of the entire door opening on one
side or the other for a car to enter.
Such arrangement is especially suited
for a two-car garage where the width
for the door opening is limited.
In garages for several cars, turnta-
bles are often installed, but where
same are used these should combine
simplicity, compactness and ease of OPP

Some other requisites relative to the

TRAVEL PICTURES FOR POSTS
Films Embracing One Thousand Top

Organizations.

BY arrangement between the Amer
lean Legion and the bureau Of com
mercial economics, the most complete
and valuable collection Of educational
and travel motion picture films in e
istence will be placed at the disposal
of the Legion for free exhibition UNI
der the auspices of all posts. The
films, which embrace 1000 separate
topics, are the property of the bureau,
al, altrulstic institution the sole aim
Of which is to advance education and
pride in American institutions.
At the instance of national head
quarters, the bureau has prepared Il
special catalogue in which each film
Is numbered and described. A copy
Of this catalogue will become the prop
erty of each Legion post. The only
expense attached to posts ordering the
films will be the payment of express
charges TO and from the nearest dis
tributing enter Of the bureau. No ad-
mission fee may be charged by the
post.
A distributing center for the films
will be established In almost every
state. Responsibility for the trans
mission of the catalogues and the in
formation concerning the location of
distributing centers to which each
post must apply for films, rests with
the state departments.
