from New Orleans to Cincinnati on
December l. The time of the trip
vouId be cut to 26 hours and the
Equipment would be equal to the
finest operated by any railway COM

President Mapother was quizzed
n regard to the probability of a new
Louisville & Nashville passenger
station in New Orleans, but he
would not make any definite promises
other than to say that, "we hope
some time to take care of this situa-
ton in a manner that New Orleans
will appreciate"
He said that the improvements
contemplate in this section were

application to increase the capitali-

He denouncec the action of tie
United States Rail Labor Board in
Chicago last month, when the strike
was averted through promise of the
board not to consider for perhaps
two years any other application of
the railroads to reduce wages"
''It was abject, cowardly surren-
der" he shouted, "and it is such fed
eral interference that keeps up
freight rates."
He said he knew freight rates were
outrageously high. "And so is whis-
key" he added, amid general ap-
plause.

3oTH YEAR.-No. 46.
E. ]. LEONHARD RECIPIENT OF
: THOUGHTFUL COMPLIMENT. :
A Number of the Representative
Citizenry of Bay St. Louis and
Waveland Assembled at His
Home Saturday Night on
Occasion of Birthday.

Ernest J. Leonhard, October 20,
1921, citizen, sportsman and good
fellow, was the inscription on each
of pair of Indian clubs, tied with
5treamers of tri-color ribbon. pres
ented Mr.. Leonhard at his home
Saturday night by some fifty gen.
tlemen who had assembled for the
purpose and who wished to congrat-
late him on his birthday.
Mr.. Leonhard, who was spending
the evening at home with his family
while number of candles were
burning on a hugh birthday cake,
which the good and thoughtful wife
had prepared, was taken by COM
plete surprise and was also the G.
and t. w. The delegation of we'll
wishers came with band of music,
and Roman candles and sky-rockets
were discharged in profusion before
entering the house.
After recovering to some extent
from the surprise his friends pro-
ceeded to "club him." That elegant
gentleman and warm-hearted friend,
Bernard Shields, made the presenta-
tion speech, and presenting the clubs
extolled the virtues of the honoree
as the model and progressive citizen
that he is. The address was fulsome
n praize, but all fitting.
Mr.. Leonhard could hardly res
pond. He was so choked with
emotion and so overcome with sur
prise that it required a while before
he could express his pleasure.
This was followed by Carl Mar
shall. With his fluent flow of choice
language and beautiful thoughts he
followed in the wake of Mr.. Shields,
and his address was most fitting.
Remarks by other guests followed
from time to time. The crowd had
assembled in the spacious dining
room, where the refreshments of the
evening were served.
1t was a very thoughtful and pret-
ty tribute to one man from his fell
lowmen of'his home town and as was
expressed by one of the speakers of
the evening, ''it is well and better to
give the flowers to ones fellowman
while alive"
Mr.. Leonhard has proven an ex-
amplary citizen. RE is always at
the front of every move and identi-
fed with every effort for the amel-
ioration of the people and commun-
ity, whether it be private, religious,
educational, humanitarian, CONNER
cial Or social. He is generous at all
times; foe to none and friend to all.
The Echo wishes to add it's con-
gratulations and good wishes. May
time deal gently with this broad and
generous spirit.

The next two quarters afforded
some good football playing, the ball
being in the center of the field most
of the time. Verina played their
best in the third quarter trying to
get a touchdown via the aerial
route, but they were in vain as the
Rock-a-Chaws little brothers had
learned something about breaking
up such things as passes, etc.
In the fourth quarter one Mr..
Sidney Montz appeared in the lime
light by something that is rarely
seen on a local gridiron. He kicked
a drop-kick for a distance Of 35-yds
earning fer his tean Ii sti1sas more
points, which with the touch down
already made gave them nine points
and the game.
Gossen, Montz, Jones and Siger-
son also did splendid work in the
ming of the victory.

FOOTBALL GAME.
SSC Wins Over Tulane Reserves.

The SSC Rock-a-Chaws last Sat
urday defeated the fast Tulane Res
erves of New Orleans by a score of
IL to O.
The first touchdown was made in
the first few minutes of play. On
the kickoff one of the Reserves
fumbled the ball on our twenty-yard
line. Glover scored the ball on this
tumble and ran for touchdown.
During the second and third quar-
ters the two teams went back and
forth in the center of the field prac-
tically the whole time except in the
last of the second quarter when the
Rock-a-C -Chaws came within fifteen
yards of the goal, but the time pre-
vented what seemed to be sure
touchdown for the Rock-aChaws.
The other touchdown which came
in the last quarter was the result of
the splendid playing of Schoelgel
who bucked the line four times for
40 yards and then Jaubert bucked
the other six yards for touchdown.
Among the players deserving
praise are Scafide and Keiffer, who
did fine work in the breaking up of
plays which probably paved the way
for victory. In the mentioning the
names of Glover and Fruge cannot
be overlooked, whose speed led to
making of the touchdowns.
Cerniglia at left-tackle also played
a game worthy of mentioning.
The team as a whole worded bet
ter than in any game this season,
and show prospects of being the best
team that st. Stanislaus has put out
in years.
The lineup was as follows:

School Notes.

The monthly tests have been COM
pleted The results were as whole,
very satisfactory. They showed
that the boys at the S. S. c.. are
grasping and holding what they are
taught. One may pass the rooms at
almost any time and see some of the
boys studying; indeed every one is
enthused over his work and is put
ting forth his best effort to uphold
the reputation of his class and grasp
ing something that cannot be taken
away from him-an education.
Class '22 gave party on Halo
we'en night for the entertainment
Of the student body. 1t was quite
a success and everyone enjoyed
themselves immensely. Among some
Of the stunts pulled off was cigar
cite smoking contest. It showed
plenty of talent on the part of most
IF the competitors. For strictly
speaking, most of the competition
were professionals. Everyone
cheered when an amatuer scorched
his teeth trying to beat profession
al smoking shorts. Jackass braying
contest also brought lots of talent
Most of it however was from Louis
lana but Mississippi was strangely re
presented. The thirty-pound boxing
contest proved very interesting, es-
pecially when "Tex" one of the box
ers charged a crowd while he was
blindfolded.
The, people of Bay st. Louis, (the
girls included) will no doubt be glad
to know that four players from Bro.
Justin's Reserve team have been
promoted to the Regulars" These
four are Sidney Montz, the hero,
who in last Sundays game pulled
"drop-kick" for 35 yards; Clarence
(Jake) Messenger, tackle of note;
Peter Jones the full back who scored
the lone touchdown oft the game
two weeks ago with the "Gridders."

The main social interest of the

ed around Halloween. Ghosts
walked and the witches and black
cats came out in all their weirdness
on last Friday night at the Central
School, when the members of the
Senior class and with the Faculty
were honored by the tenth grade.
The guests were met at the door
and directed to Blue Boards dark
den where one of his wives were
slain, head cut off, eyeballs removed,
and guests hands filled with her
bones, and fingers dipped in the
blood. From here they had to go to
the Blunders Room to enter the au-
ditorium where Jack O. LanrerR
threw mysterious lights and shadows
over the witches couldron and Gyp-
sy's tent.
After "Ghost" was played each
boy was given one newspaper and
twelve pins to create a dress for
the partner. Hammell Jackson de-
signed and made a beautiful bridal
costume for his girl. Punch, cake,
and other refreshments were freely
disposed of during the evening and
when the good nights were said the
Seniors departed wishing they could

VIII Assist to Develop Mississippi
Gulf Coast.

Mr.. Mapother urged business men
of New Orleans to induce private
business enterprises to develop the
Gulf coast, asserting the railroad
company would assist in every way
possible in this development. He
said the company was barred from
making improvements because of a
law which prohibits transportation
companies from making investments
not related to actual operation of
the roads.
He declared as soon as proper no.
tel and other Accommodations are pro-
vided on the coast the railroad
would undertake an extensive adver-
tising campaign calculated to make
that region second to no summer re-
sort section in the country.
President Mapother outlined the
proposed disbursement of this vast
sum by the Louisville and Nashville
as follows:
