fit to travel. Lafayette Parish
has done wonders in the way OF
improving their highways and
iberia must not lag behind one
bit. Public highways are more
essential to a community's wei
fare than railroads from many
standpoints and in Iberia it also
holds good. While we have di-
,eressed "a little from our original
subject, the two propositions,
highways and motor bus lines are
50 linked together that the sue
ess of one depend upon the other.
The Teche Transfer Company OF
ficials should be given every en-
couragement on the part of our
citizens and the best inducements
we can offer will be in rendering
the use Of good highways so that
the cars can be operated at the
least expense. The enterprise is
financed by capital from Jeane-
fette and they deserve the sup
port and backing Of the entire
people. The fact of the matter
is that motor busses are a poor
man s mode Of easy travel at q
small, cost and those who must
reach the Parish seat are entitled
to these conveniences. Again a
well operated bus line operated
on the hour schedule touching
every dwelling along the high
way greatly enchances the value,
of farm property, since one can
reside miles away from trading
cemters and yet have only few
minutes ride to, transact business
and then return home. We trust
the business of the Company will
grow to such an extent that ere
the course of time their busscs
will inaugurate the half-hour
schedule which will still more en-
able the people who live along
the route to visit our City at any
hour Of the dav or night.

The greatest adverse power
which the evil minority in human
society exercises upon it, is the
weakening Of the sentiment OF
human confidence. When men
begin to lose confidence in each
other, society lbosMls and falls

mortar has lost its cohesive pow

One type senses il from the pro-
tective side and adopts an atti,

Another type seeks to protect it.

SERMON BY EVANGELIST
BY w. A. GRESSMAN

Now the invisible things of Him
since the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being perceived through
the things that are made, even His
everlasting power and divinity, that
they may be without excuse, (Rom.
1:20). This is the text Evangelist
j. Il, Henshaw seluected for his SER
mon on Excuses" which he delivered
last night at the First Christian
church. This text" said the Evan
gelist. Shows how God has removed
the last vestige for mans excuse for
not recognizing and obeying Him.
Excuse for not accepting God Is
further removed by the fact and char
acter of Gods dealings with man. God
has always dealt frankly and fairly, in
love and pOsitiveness. But in return,
man has been evasiVe, vascillating, dis
honest and ungrateful in his treatment
of God. Man, by knowing God good
ness toward him and his own unfair
dealing with God, has made himself
without excuse"

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 23.-While it
has been said prison life has been
hard ON Eugene V. Debs, socialist lead
er of Amer ca, now in the United
States penitentiary here, a good look
ut Mr.. Dehs shows that no hardshps
are evidenced upon his genial broy
Watching what he believes his
swiftly recedng days of confinement
pass by, Mr. Dcbs is still philosophical.
When visited here by a representa-
tive of the International News Service
his broad smile spread over his kin
face, and when asked how he liked the
place he said it was far the best pris-
on he had ever seen.
You know l have been in great
many prisons over the country" he
said with a smile and FASTENED to add
though not as an inmate. | have Wis
lted them, for Il good many of my
friends have been confined.
AS for myself, it is true that | have
been incarcerated in another penten-
tary and also few iails, but that was
something probably inevitable in my
life"
Mr.. Debs is great favorite at the
prison. Almost every man is hi
friend. and he is said to never tire in
his efforts to 90 what he can towards
ghtening the burdens of fellow in
mates.

All! SHORT SKIRT WAS
DEVISED AS REFORM
BY LEO r. HEATLEY
international News Service Staff
COrrpsnOndent

BY LEO i. HEAILE1
| international News Service staff
Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov 23.-The secret
is out Short skirts are reform
movement,
But the original reformers now de-
clare their idea was carried too far
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
Rainy Day Club has just been cele
brated here, and 1t was disclosed thai
the club was organized in the nineties
to do away with the long, trailing
dresses worn by women on the theory
that they were unsanitary. Five or six
business women wanted to abolish the
fashion of sweeping the streets and
dumping the dust on the parlor rugs
at home. And so the short skirt
movement was born.
Mrs A. NJ. Palmer, president of the
club for the last twenty-four years,
said the little group of serious think
ers decided to wear skirts four inches
above the ground. Wherever we ap-
peared we were jeered and hooted,
she said. Men would make sly re-
marks upon our appearance; women
in carriages looked scornfully down on
us and drew their own draped, trail
ing skirts more closely about them.
We were looked upon as freaks. When
we entered the tenement districts on
charitable missions we were stoned by
small boys. 1t was a dangerous and
humiliating experience. Soon we had
new members and a new club room.
Modistcs Take Up Idea
Il cant say just when the modistes
started taking un the idea we had
launched, but it was about two years
after We had begun wearing shorter
skirts. Finally society women, who had
looked askance from their carriages,
came down to the ground and saw
first-hand what our movement was
doing a few of them copied our style,
and then the modistes got busy.
I'VE had marshalled statistics prov
ing that the sweeping skirts worn by
tho women carried germs into the
home.
I'VE were contented with the skirt
which just cleared the ground by four
inches. That meant comfort and free
dom for us, But when the modistes
got busy it was different. First came
the siX-inches from-the ground skirt. |
Then they grew longer again, Some |
Years they were wide and sometimes |
narrow. But try as they would they |
could not get the training skirts in |
style to stay again. Woman once freed /
of an encumhrance like that will never
revert to it again Of her own free will,
Skirts Get shorter
1T was only i'm recent years that
the movement got out of hand entire-
~ and with leaps and bounds the skirts
began to go mp, up, up, and there's no
knowing where they will stop. think |
he word nodestv should We eliminate /.

reanng nothing to the girl or woman /
Of today. / am positive that short +.
'krts are here to stay. l only hope, in
he interests of decency, that we can

which will at least partially cover the
Nposures now in vogue
And in the meantime the latest !
