To Get a "Close-Up"
 of the Planet Mars

ot the Planet Mars
 SM EFORE Signor Marconi dis ID covers whether the Martians are trying to signal the earth, as- tronomers may be able to tell us positively that the planet is inhab- tied or world without any form of life resembling ours.
 In the continental edition of the London Daily Mail, it is announced by B. McAfee, an American scient- ist and collaborator with David Todd, noted American astronomer, that plans are being made to take snapshots of Mars, which will be brought within a distance of mile and half by the largest telescope ever conceived.
 MT. McAfee says Professor Todd has found a mine shaft in Chile over which Mars will be at its zenith in 1924. The shaft will be used as the barrel of the telescope, which will be sheathed and 50 feet in diam eter. Instead of using a glass mir TOT, flat sheet iron dish covered with mercury will be the reflector. According to MT. McAfee, "When this dish is rotated at certain speed, the surface of mercury as- sumes the necessary cavity and forms splendid mirror. Owing to the great luminosity the telescope will give we will be able to make snapshot, instead of a time ex- posture. The magnification of 25,- 100000 will be possible, bringing Mars within mile and half. l am convinced that life exists on Mars, and intend to prove it."
 The most interesting of all our planetary neighbors, Mars has in trigued the fancy of scientists as well as many persons who know nothing whatever of astronomy. The question of it's inhabitability has been long debated and opinions have been stated on both sides with a positiveness that is rather amusing when we stop to consider that the learned gentlemen are merely guess ing.
 But Mars at the distance of a mile and a half is another matter. If the experiment in Chile is sue cess, astronomers may be able to read the billboards on Mars and discover what particular brand of politics the Martians affect.
 American Embassy
 Over a Factory
 7HHE parsimony with which the 4 United States treats its for eign representatives is again called to attention by report from Buenos Aires that the American embassy is now located over a mattress fac tory, a carpenter shop and ladies' tailoring establishment. Former Ambassador Stimson says the em- bassy was forced to give up an un- pretentious but we'll appointed resi- dence, which housed the American diplomatic representatives for 12 years, because the state department failed to authorize sufficient funds to lease more suitable quarters.
 There is, to say the least, pain ful contrast between the American embassy and the Spanish embassy, which will soon be installed in a palace costing nearly two million pesos. The Chilean legation has a everitable palace" while the Co- lombian legation occupies two i'm

! November 9(b. With about
! 5000 cash to be used for other
public work. outside of the
highways built with Federal
laid, twelve miles of highways
were constructed at a cost of
less than 100000 per mile.
Our gravel road between New
iberia and Jeanerette was built
out of the general taxes as well
as the new highway known as
the New Iberia-Burke High
way.
When it comes to tax fever
for public Improvement, we be-
lieve the people of Iberia are as
eager to do the right THING as
our neighbors. This is verified
in more ways than one as every
Ward in the Parish has voted
special improvement taxes for
roads with but little opposition.
Yes, brother, Iberia has many
things to be proud of and when
all of the contemplated high
ways are complete it will be in
position to boost of having more
gravel highways than any par

beloved Christian women. De-
ceased had been in failing health
for a long period of years and
was advised to undergo an ope-
ration as the past resort, and it
ended with fatal results. Her
unexpected death was a distinct
shock to the people of this COM
munity. Mrs. Anglers was a
daughter of the venerable Mr..
George Greig of Arnaudville
and was the devoted mother of
two daughters, and two young
sons, both of the later only
a short while ago entered Sem
mary at Covington to study for
the priesthood. One of her
daughters recently joined a Con-
vent at New Orleans, known as
the Sisters of the Poo.. Three
of her children are teachers in

iah. Her brothers are Messrs.
T.. E. Greig, St. Martin; R. A.
Greig, Baton Rouge; M. g..
Greig, Vile Platte; G. p. Greig,
cashier Of the Bank of Baldwin
and her sister was Miss Louise
Greig of Arnaudville. To her
'bereaved and grief-stricken hus-
band and children the Enterprise
joins with others in extending
condolences. The funeral was
conducted from St. Peters

Now why can't utilize the voices and form monster

ST. MARY,s NEW ALLIANCE.

~ Un0ef the ABOVE CaptlOn, GU
} confere, Brother Alpha of tn
Franklin Watchman,s draws {,
: very unflattering comparison
; between iberia and St. Mar.
Parishes, when he in a very ex
tensive article attempts to max,
J iberia look like a deuce spot, in
. so-far as THE conduct of oul
J present and former Parish off
Gals are concerned. We read
lily concede that our sister Par
1ish of St. Mary is ably man
aged and most of its public bus
mess is entrusted to good eff
cient and worthy citizens. Or
the other hand a great portion
of the statements regarding Ibe.
ria is without fact. He opens
his argument by informing his
readers that with the next ju.
fdicial election more than two
years from now, St. Mary will
be joined with iberia and St.
Martin in one judicial district,
so that one judge and one dis
trict attorney will serve for
three Parishes" This is abso-
lutely true as the late Constitu-
tional Convention linked the
three Parishes into one judicial
district. Whether the change
be for better or worse is prob
'cmatical. We trust however,
that it is for the better. Our
over-zealous pen pusher also
says that Iberia and St. Martin
have remained almost in the
same groove that the close of the
civil war left them. They have
the taxing power, and apparent
~ enough taxing substance to
maintain them in a substantial
improvement, but politicians
have run their government in
stead of business men,"
Now for the enlightenment
of our neighbor. we wish to in
form him that the assessments
# iberia Parish has increased
from a value of little over S.
100000 twenty-five years ago to
S21, GOO. 600 in 1920. Does this
not look like material adj
vancement?
In the on-coming election for
Parish officers h. goes on to say
that these two Parishes should
clean up the situation and put
themselves on a cash basis. The
fact that their Parish warrants
have been sold below par, for
wears is. disgraceful, they pay
more for public service than
we do, because the con-
tractor charges them more in
order to make q fair profit upon
his labor in selling their ware
rants at discount. He how
ever gives us the credit for
finally paying the debts by rel
deenaing the warrants, but says
il is a bad example.
Evidently the Waterman has
been badly posted as the. Parish
of iberia has been on a cash
basis since January 1st, 1918
when practically So, 900 worth
