New Iberia Schools
Has Large Enrolment

Never before in the history of
New Iberia have the public and
private schools had such an
overflowing attendance as was
recorded last Monday when the
1921 term was begun. Whether
is due to the com pulsory educa-
tional law compelling cac'i cdu-
cable child to enter som place
OF learning, or wheth> L it is the
natural desire of the parent to
see that their offspring receive
training to fit them to make use
full citizens, matters not.
lt.is a source of qualification
to know that every child is now
being given an education
through the school facilities of
New Iberia. From reports Civ
en- out by the heads of the diff
fercnt seats of learning there
were exactly eleven hundred
and forty who enrolled them
selves. In the High School
there were two hundred and
ninety. Julia Street School.

THE CLEANUP SQUAD.

No more important work in
behalf of the men who served in
the armed forces of the United
States during the World War,
has been undertaken than the
campaign of the Clean Tn
Squad of government agencies,
the Red Cross, and the Ameri-
can Legion, which begins here
soOn.
Practically as soon as the
arrmistice was signetl< the vari-
olss government bureaus began
ACTIVITY in settling the thousands
OF war claims of men who were
in the service. A tremendous
amount of work has been ac-
complished. but still there are
hundreds upon hundreds of ex-
service men, entitled to the va
rious forms of governmental
aid who have-either never filed
claims for this assistance that
the government is glad to give,
or whose claims have never
been satisfied because the b,isi-
ness had to be done through
lengthy, red taped. patience dcs-
troying correspondence, alike
unsatisfactory to the govern
ment and the man the govern
fnent would aid.

Briefly, the plan is this. A
Squad of experts, familiar in
every detail with war insurance,
the vocational education provi-
sions, monetary compensation,
medical treatment, hospitaliza-
ton, is sent out to ssscour the
country for men entitled to aid.
By getting in personal touch
with the men, these experts can
file their claims properly and
can oil the governmental ma
chinery 50 that all claims file
will be promptly and satisfactor-
lily settled. Instead of the men
having to seek out the govern
mental bureaus, those same bu-
reaus, through the Clean-up
Squad, seek out the men.
In this connection. il is cital-
ly important that anyone in any
community in which the Squad
is operating, who knows of a.
man who is entitled to aid or
who may be. entitled to aid. fur

transport a crew of carpenters
and other artizans to and fro
morning and evening, while the
construction Of the seven story

The structure they contemplate
building will be one Of the
largest, adapted to that purpose
i'm the South. It is said that as
many as fifty people will be en-
plOyed out of New Iberia for a
long period of time. The mine
owners have come to the con-
clusion that it will be far better
10 bring the carpenters and 9TH
scrs engaged on the building to
their occupation, rather than
build quartehs 10 house them.

Charges Promoters
 Of Anti Blue Laws

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. IA. - Charges that promoters and solici- tors of many anti societies receiv- ed thousands of dollars in profits from their campaigns against prohibition, blue laws, and similar reforms were made by Dr. w. F. Crafts. superin- tendent of the International Reform Bureau, of Washington, D. C., in an address here tonight.
 Tt has been found dead easy to get multitudes who have more dol lars than sense to join some society skihful in futurist painting of dread full laws" he said. "The solicitor pie lures the alleged laws planned against Sunday automobiling or tobacco or something else popular, extracts a membership fee and divides the fees with the chief promoter, who often gets a salary of $10,000 or more.

 REFINING PLAN I
Terrific Explosion Drenches Workmen With Oil; Many
 Are Caught in Tunnels

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. A. - Ten workmen were Killed today and more than score injured. several of whom may die, in the second serious fire at the Big Point Breeze plant of the At lantic Refining company in a month. Three others are reported missing
 The fire was preceded by a terrific explosion which killed several work men and drenched others with fam ing oil. Prompt action by the com pany's organized rescue squads is be- lieved to have prevented larger death list.
 The explosion occurred in the north section of the yard where several hun dred men ere employed in the manu- fact6e of naptha. Many of these work in underground tunnels where fires that boil the crude product into naptha are maintained. Some of the dead were trapped in these tunnels by r.Yers of liquid fire. It is feared the three misIng men were caught in these tunnels.
 Physicians reported that several of the injured were probably fatally burned
 Officials of the Atlantic Refining company were unable early tonight to explain the explosion, the second fat al accident of the kind in month. The first was on August 4, when five men were killed.
