Recovering Losses

Holders of stocks and bonds have waited
years for comeback" in prices and have
been the poorer for their patience Those
who sold their securities have averaged
heavy losses.
The holders of Guaranteed Mortgages
have had no losses to recover. They have
had their interest regularly on the interest

he reached the raft. Severing the
strands Of the rope by which the log
was made fast, he laid down on the
timber and giving it gentle push
floated off in the dark and rapidly
running river with an uneasy feeling
that he might not be able to stem the
strong current and reach the oppo-
site bank. His was a dismal and
dangerous ride, as he struggled with
might and main to guide his log with
the improvised oar and he was car
ried down some considerable distance
before he could land. At last, how
ever, by the most strenuous exercise
of his muscles he had the satisfaction
of feeling the forward end Of his
strange conveyance strike the shore
but he could not control it sufficiently
we'll to stop as it would slide off no
matter how great his eXertions. But
he was not to be batfled in his efforts.
So watching an opportunity when he
piloted his unmanageable craft
against the bank he slid off and
swan ashore. Exhausted he threw
himself down on the bank to recuper-
ate his strength and to await daylight
that he might discover where he had
landed and when the first light ap-
peared in the east he was delighted to
find he had not drifted nearly as far
downward as he had supposed but
had landed in the neighborhood of
Bruly landing.
Rested by his long wait for day
light he started up the levee at a
brisk pace, all the time keeping a
sharp look out for Federal cavalry
However, the road was clear am
reaching the old railroad he struck
westward for Rosedale on Bayor
Gross Tete. Reaching that point he
was fortunate in encountering a com
pany of Ratliff's Scouts which hi
joined as a recruit, and thus became
Confederate soldier to experience al
the hardships and dangers that fell t
the lot of those who served under tn
flag with bars and stars.

VARSITY MANOR, NEW DOR.
MITORY FOR L. S. U. COEDs
Catholic Forces Are Responsible For
It's Establishment.
By Marioria B. Arbour.


The birth of VARSITY Manor the
Louisiana State University's first
dormitory for young women, is due
primarily to the efforts and inspira-
tion Of Father T. Colbert, assistant
priest in St. Joseph's Catholic Church,
who conceived Of the idea and who
subsequently, placed the practical
plan before the st. Margaret's Daugh-
ters, an association Of Catholic WON
en- whose chief activities are concerned
with social welfare work, for their
approval and for their cooperation in
launching the project. The establish
ment Of such house meant a large
expenditure Of money, as rental was
high and furniture prices were we'll
inflated. Skeptics said it couldn't be
done, and even the most optimistic
knew that it would be a colossal un-
dertaklng, but realizing that all big
things are accomplished through the
downing Of obstacles, these ladies be-
gan to draw plans for putting across
this dormitory idea, which they felt
would be establishing precedent to
be followed by other organizations in
Baton Rouge.
Varsity Manor, which is situated on
College and Boyd Avenues, will house
twenty-one goods who wish to take
advantage Of dormitory. The house
is non-sectarian in character, and
Protestant girls are as acceptable as
Catholic ones. The prices charged

PUBLIC LIBRARY.

We have very encouraging re
port from the public library for the
month Of August. The library is in
prosperous condition with the num-
Der Of readers increasing steadily.
During the month Of August, 1920 the
number of readers was l42S, and dur
ing August, 1921 there were 3O39,
total gain of 1911 for the year.
There has been quite an increase in
rural readers, which is very pleasing
to the library committee. At the close
of school, Mrs. J. D. Began, chairman
of the library committee. sent letters
to all school principals in the country
extending an invitation to school chill
dren to visit the library and obtain
reading matter for the vacation. This
invitation was accepted by a great
many, and during the month there
was an increase of 10 rural readers.
The library committee is very CRATE
full to the police jury for the increase
in their annual donation of $4,000 to
the library, the total being $4,000
for the year. This amount will be
used to buy new books for the library.
Books were donated during the
month as follows:
Odet Gilbeaux l, Steele Burden 4,
Mrs. Sophie Ford 5, Cicero Sessions
5, Moyse Strauss I, Mr.. Roche /, Hen
ry Doherty /, DR.. Coyt Moore AZ,
making a total of 81 books.

BILL OF RIGHTS.

The following is a copy Of au act
to be presented by the New Orleans
Federation Of Clubs to the Legislature
at its special session September, 1921:
AN ACT
Comforting on women equal rights
and privileges with men in the exer-
else Of suffrage, holding office, and
entering into contracts with reference
to their separate property.
Section /. Be it enacted by the
Legislature of the State of Louisiana,
That women are hereby given the
same rights, authority and privileges
under the law that men possess, in the
exercise of suffrage, holding office,
and alternating or mortgaging or 9TH
erwise entering into contracts, with
reference to their separate property.
Section 2. In order to carry out the
objects, purposes, and provisions of
Section l Of this Act, the various
Courts and executive and administra-
tive officers shall construe the laws,
wherever the masculine gender is
used in connection with said subjects,
to include the feminine gender, unless
such construction will deny to females
the special protection and privileges
which they now enjoy for the general
welfare, and the said Courts and Of
ficers shall make necessary rules and
regulations to carry out the purposes

for maintenance at the dormitory are
on a parallel with those found in the
private homes and the sorority houses
in the city.
The house is in charge Of compe-
tent matron, Miss Cora Huguet, who
has made house regulations to con-
form with the rules which are issued
yearly by the Dean Of Women at the
University. The Dean, Mrs. Mary c.
Herget, will supervise Varsity Manor
which will give assurance that the
young ladies staying at this house
will be we'll taken care Of.
The goods living at Varsity Manor
will furnish their own bedding and
linen. The rooms are adequately fur
nished and drawing room is equip
ped for young ladies to receive their
guests. Not more than three girls
will occupy a room, which should
make the place very comfortable.
Varsity Manor is being and has al
ready been financed through public
subscriptions and entertainments Civ
en- for this purpose. Through mis-
cellaneous shower to be held on Sep
tember 10 it is expected that all need
ed equipment will be supplied and
that the house will be ready to re-
ceive it's occupants on September 21,
the opening date Of the University.
There are already a number Of
sorority homes run on similar plan
as Varsity Manor will be operated
and these, without exception, have
been successes and have withstood the
high prices and subsequent expense
which is required to run and operate
houses for some twenty-odd persons

accord with this plan as the members

MORE ADVENTURES OF BOYS.
A Perilous Trip on the Mississippi
A Log the Only Available
Craft at Hand.

In the last issue of Woman's En-
terprise l told it's boy readers of the
reckless and daring feats of two of
the several boys who penetrated the
enemy's lines and made their escape
to join the Confederates and in this
issue | will relate the daring and sue
cessful attempt of another.
The late Mr.. Oscar Arbour passed
many days, and nights as we'll, in at
tempts to pass through the picket
lines of the Federals that he might be-
come a Confederate soldier. Failing
in several plans to outwit the picket
guards, but still determined to sue
cped, he happened to remember that
at the old saw mill belonging to his
family there were quite number Of
logs which had not been manufacture
ed when the war broke out and as they
had laid in the river until the rope
cables holding them to the shore,
had rotted to a greater or less extent.
Here, thought he, is chance if for
tune favors me to carry out my plan
of escaping although a risky one as
the front is pretty we'll guarded by
sentinels whose duty is to watch for
skiffs and other small craft attempt
ing to land persons, to spy for Con-
federates or others desiring to com.
municate with their families marooned
within the Federal lines.
For several days Oscar visited the
front, joking with soldiers to make il
appear that he was there simply tc
watch boats landing or to pass away
the hours in idleness.
All the time, however, the youngstel
Was locating the best place to pass be
tween the guards to reach the mil
and RATS and to select the log hi
| intended to navigate. On one of hi
trips he was fortunate enough tt
evade the watchfulness of a sentine
some short distance away and slip
ping upon one Of the RATS he cut tn,
hawser nearly through leaving but ;
few strands to keep the outer log from
floating away.
Having successfully accomplished
his risky task the youth went home t.

the guards along the levee finally de
scended upon the earth when he 81

their possibilities. If you can take
group of men who are banded to-
gether by a common interest, and
contrive to have them all strive to-
gether for a certain end, why, that
end is going to be attained and that's
all there is to it.
This is the spirit that has hung
up this remarkable record at Barks-
dale, and this sort of spirit never
let's a man, or a group of men, rest
content with past achievements, but
urges on to further triumphs. AS
this article goes to press, the re-
cord of immunity has grown from
S65 to 404 days, and is still going
strong. And the best Of it is, that
every man is resolved that he, per-
sonally, is not going to be the dub
that spoils it; nor will he allow any
body else to spoil it if it is in his
power to prevent.

Above is a picture taken to cele-
brate an achievement which is at
least very unusual in any class of
industry, and which is certainly uni
que in the history of high explosives
manufacture. On April 30, 1921,
the Barksdale Works of E. /. du
Pont de Nemours and Co. completed
a year during which no person on
the plant had sustained major ac-
cident during the time he was work
ing for the company. By a major
accident is meant one which re-
quires the injured person to be abb
sent from his job longer than the
remainder of the day during which
he is injured. The attainment of
this record is one in which all
hands take equal pride, from the
manager down through the list to
the humblest employee, because ii is
the result of cooperation of the type
which Kipling characterizes as "the
everlasting teamwork of every

ed in many walks of life. This
campaign has grown in scope and
intensity until today there is not
an industry in which effort is not
put forth to reduce the hazards of
the various occupations.
The du Pont company has always
been in the front ranks in this
movement, as it has in all enter
prises concerning the welfare of its
employees, and it's progress along
this line is typical of the best in
the field. The mechanical guarding
of danger points was the first sub
ject that engaged the attention Of
safety engineers, and this produced
very encouraging results. Then a
campaign of education was project
ed, which accomplished still more.
1t is fairly well known fact that
all of us, unless we happen to be
born rich or unusually handsome,
have to work for our living, and it
is natural for man to wish to

US the reckless daredevil whose
head is beautiful example of the

in spectacular stunts out of sheer

not before his example has done a
lot of harm in distortmg the point
of view of many people with whom
he has come in contact. But the
average man is quick to see the folly
of such conduct when facts are pre-
scented to him in their true light, and
here is where the campaign of
education gets in its heavy work.

blooming SOUL"
We can all remember, just few
years ago when Safety First" be-
gan to be popular expression, and
most of us recall some of the earlier
manifestations of the Safety Move
ment. The old familiar swinging
bars across the roads at railroad
grade crossings, with the attendant
flag men, are some of the first safe
ty measures, and the locomotive
pilot, or scow-catcher," and the
cattle-guards fanking country lane
crossings, are other instances of
the same thing. At about the
time devices such as these were just
starting TO bud, foreminded men in
the industrial world began to think
about the appalling economic waste,
as well as the countless instances of
suffering, which were continually be-
ing caused by carelessness and by
the failure to play safe, and cam
paign for greater safety was start

RAIL WAGES

The United States Railroad Labor
Board announced recently fevi-
sion downward in the wages of more
than 100000 unskilled rail work
ers. The wages reductions mark a
retrocession from the dictum of the
board of July 20, 1920, when the
pay of all classes of railway work
ers was increased approximately 81
per cent or about $6O0,000,000 per
annum. Rail executives several
months since protested that the
new high pay scale was insupport-
able and declared for reductions in
the neighborhood of 20 per cent in
the unskilled groups. On appeal of
the workers affected the board held
that the owners could not make sum-
mary reduction but must first confer
with the men. This ruling was OBJ
served, but the net result was the
carrying of practically every wage
contention to the board for final
settlement.

METEOR STORM DUE LAST

But Astronomer Says if Earth
Comes in Contact With Tail
Comet Will Be Disintegrated

LONDON, June S.-Pons- Win
necke, the short period comet, which
is HURTING through space at speed
of many thousand miles an hour to-
wards the earth, will not have the
best of the 'bump" according to
Professor A. Fowler, chief lecturer
in astronomy at the Imperial Sceince
college, South Kensington.

the professor, shat we shall come in
contact with its tail if at all. In
this event it is possible Pons-
Winnecke may become SO ,lisinte-

comets will disown him
Cyclonic Travelled
One can picture some scientist in
a few weeks time picking up small
meteor, the mortal remains of this
cyclonic traveller in our space. "Alas
poor Pons, We knew him WE'LL" will
doubtless be the comment of the as
Economical world.
Professor Fowler was the first
scientist to have prove that the tails
of comets have carbonic oxide gas
instead of the deadly cyanogen gas,
as was previously supposed.
"When the tail of Pons comes in
contact with this EARTH" continued
Professor Fowler, vast quantities
Of carbonic oxide, which is an odor-
less gas, will be absorbed in the at
mosphere of this planet. There is
no cause for alarm, since the pro-
portion of carbonic oxide is so small
in relation to the immense volume
atmosphere round the earth that the
effect will be imperceptible. Peo-
pie do not realize how many million
tons of the atmosphere we breathe
weighs. At ground level the weight
is IA pounds to the square inch. In
addition to gas the tail will contain
meteoric dust-that is, particles of
iron and nickel. This dust is not
likely to reach us.
Fascinating Theory
"As to how a comet is formed l
cannot tell you, any more than l
can tell you, from a scientific point
of view, how the earth was formed.
Perhaps they come from gases
thrown off from the sun, which are
gradually cooled. On the other
hand, leading authorities on astron-
omy say that it is clear thai comets
cannot have originated within the
limits of the solar system. They

Professor Fowler added that Jupi-
ter, to whose family Pons- Winnecke
belongs, may cause disturbance
and so alter the path of the comet
that it will reach its nearest point
to the earth about June q, the date
on which it is expected.
