Quien Sabe7

Tuesday marked very impor-
tant epoch in the educational
history of Natchitoches, as it was
the date set aside by the School
Board for elections in every ward
for q tax for the maintenance of
the public schools of the parish,
which election was called at the
request of numerously signed Pc
titiOns.
A peculiar incident in connec-
ton with the election in Ward l
was that at the hour the polls
we're opened. Z a. M, not one
single commissioner or clerk ap.
peared with the exception of the
two women commissioners who
were appointed to serve. though
the full list was published the
regular number of times and it
was necessary to ring up the men
who were peacefully sleeping the
hours away and call their atten-
ton to their duty so that the law
could be complied with and there
be no danger of any irregularities
arising as a result of not having
the required NUMBER of officials
on hand.
It was suggested that this was
because new brooms sweep
clean," but these two brooms
have swept their newness off, hav-
ing served at the several elections
held for different purposes since
the nineteenth amendment went
into effect, reporting promptly in
every instance at 6 a. m. and re.
naming faithfully at their posts
until after the returns were pro
mulgated upon each occasion.
Is it. because women have q
higher sense of moral OBLIGATION,
Or better memories, or Is this just

come If ali discrimination against
women is removed9

shallow pan. he stretches the skin
with the fur up, and pours In enough
water to cover IT, He puts the pan
in refrigerating chamber ond keeps
II there until the water is frozen solid.
Next he takes out the cake of ice and
from the bottom saws the layer that
contains the skin. Then he melts the
bottom Of the cake that is left, and
when the lower ends Of the fur pro-
trude little he pours on solution Of
rubber, layer by layer. until the coat
ing is Of the required thickness. The
coating Is flexible. When the rest Of
the ice has melted the fur is practical

NOT ALWAYS INDOOR GAME
Billiards Originally French Pastime,
Played Very Much Like croquet,
and Called "Paille Mallle."

Ii is not generally known that bill
lizards had its origin in an outdoor
pastime.
This was "paille maille," an old
French game played like croquet. Ex-
actly when the billiard table came into
use is NOT clear. but reference is made
To It in manuscript dated 1891. the
writer CHASING billiards with dice and
cards and other thriftless games"
For many years almost Identical i'm
plementS were used In the indoor game
as In ''paillc mallle." The cues We're
curved like hockey sticks. the balls
were wooden and larger than those
used nowadays, while the table was
fitted with hoops Eventually the lat
ter were replaced by pockets.
During the past hundred years the
game has been played much in the
same way as 1t is today. the chief al
terations being made In respect OF the
size of the balls and table.
