TOBIN HANDBOOK BILL
STRANGLED IN SENATE

| Baton Rouge, La, July 4.-Caught
in The grip, Of the rules of the Sen
! ate with a majority of the members
!of the upper branch of the Leglsla-
, ture pulling on the parliamentary
string, the Tobin bill to suppress
handbook gambling outside of race
track enclosures was strangled to
death tonight.
! The bill was sent to the legislative
cemetery through the shrewd maneu-
veing of the opponents of the meas
ure. Under the provisions Of the Con-
stitution a bill must be read in each
branch of the Legislature on three
different days.
Prevent Suspension
Taking advantage of this clause in
! the organic law and of the rules of
the Senate which requires all House
bills to lie over one legislative day
before they can be referred to COM
mites, the opposition to the bill pre-
vented a suspension of the rules to
give it a first reading and to refer it
! to a committee.
Three attempts were made to sus-
pend the rules, two in the morning
and one at the night session. Eacn
time the supporters of the bill were
| beaten. The vote at the night ses-
sion was Is years to Is nays. The
supporters of the bill failed to have
the measure given first reading to-
| day and, as only two days of the ses-
sion remain, the adjournment of the
Senate tonight killed the bill. j..
! Many bills were caught in the leg
islative jam in the House of Repre-
sentatives and persisted on the calen-
dar when the lower branch of the
Legislature adjourned. The House
had three sessions in an attempt to
send the most important bills across
the corridor to the Senate. A large
number were passed and reached the
! Senate in time but many others were
left on the calendar, where they died.
Among the bills left on the calen-
! dar were:
! Meyers bill to change the form of
government of New Orleans to ward
commissioner system.
Dupre's constitutional amendment
to limit the assessment of property
for local taxation purposes.
Williams and Baynard's amend
ment to the constitution to change the
seat of government.
Douglas bill to require maps of
real estate to be filed with assessors.
Schell's constitutional amendment
to abolish parish registrars of voters
and to vest thei dutiese in clerks of
courts.
Fraiche's bill to require the New
Orleans Dock Board to employ none
but qualified voters.
Dreyfous' bill to revise business
and occupational license taxes.

BOYS AND GIRLS WRITE
ESSAYS ON FORESTRY

Girl students Of the high schools Of
Louisiana recently entered a contest
of essays on the subject of forest per
petuation. The sum Of $50 had been
donated. by NJ. L. Alexander, Commits
sion Of Conservation, to be awarded
the girls writing the best papers on
the subject. The first prize Of $25 was
won by Miss Pearl Mccartney Of the
Urania High School: the second, SIS,
went to Miss Laura A Geary Of Mel
Vile High School, and the third, $40,
to Miss Willie May JarTel of Bogalusa
High School. Honorable mention was
made OF the papers Of Misses Fannie
Singleton, Pine Prairie High School;
Esther Russ, Vaudeville High School;
Willie Lamby, Glenmora High School;
Hilda Weber, Leon Godchaux High
School; Evelyn Yvonne Bergeron, Mel
vile High School; Maude Chase, Jen'
nings High School; Roberta H. Stir
ling, Sophie Wright High School;
Edith Vernon, JonesbOro High School.
These cash prizes were donated BY
Mr.. Alexander because in the previous
contest for scholarships to the Sum-
mer School Of Forestry, the girls could
not enter, that school being for males.
The essays submitted in the contests
evince close study of the subject OF
forestry and an intimate knowledge OF
conditions, and the urgent need Of con.
servatiOn.
The winner OF the boys first prize,
Rene Dubourg, of Vaudeville, showed
a comprehensive knowledge Of condt
tons in st. Tammany parish and a
Keen appreciation Of the dangers re-
sulting from the careless destruction
Of the forests. His paper was entitled,
"Am / the Keeper Of My Brothers
Forest?" and he answered that Ques-
ton by declaring It was the duty Of
every citizen to prevent and TO extin-
guish fires in the woods
THE attitude Of the people Of our
section must absolutely change" said
young Dubourg; everywhere In the
piney woods fires are left to burn, for
the citizens think no more OF their
timber lands than to let them dissp
pear. 1t Is largely Tor the citizens OF
st. Tammany to determine what sort
OF land they VIII have In the future,
1t must be one Of tvo kinds: II fires
do not occur, there viii be beautiful
