WORK UPON tREVETMENT IN
ALGIERS COMMENCES.

Driving piling for the revetment
on the bank of the Mississippi at
the plant of the Algiers Saw and
Planning Mill, between Lavergne and
Verret streets, was begun by the
Orleans Parish Levee Boards con-
tractor, John Reiss, Wednesday
morning with the prospects that the
revetment may be completed within
the next thirty days, it was stated
Tuesday.
Despite special efforts of the
board, it will not now be practicable
to complete the protection work be-
fore the springs high water, it was
said. A considerable amount of
levee work will be done in addition
to the revetment and work on this
probably cannot be commenced until
the springs flood recedes. The to-
tai cost of both improvements will
be about $4,000.

What He Thinks Of kissing

Dear Cyntha-Many OF the letters
which have appeared recently In your

Of the young people OF today have been
very amusing, as have been many Of
the queries presented. have watched
carefully the advice you have given your
readers and have been pleased to see
on some recognized principle Of ethics.
It seems 10 me that many OF the
people who write these letters are car
Red away by idealism. They are in
love with the theory Of things and for
get the practical working out of these
same subjects. 1dealism Ia a fine study
for a young person to base his actions
upon, but It must be remembered that

There is not another girl in the world

In guiding my actions during the last
