"rM FOR HIGGINS AGAINST

II am for A. Higgins for Congress
as against Congressman Dupre, who
has been endorsed by the Behrman
organization which has also endorsed
me-" said John F. Bowen, candidate
for public service commissioner
against Francis Williams.
Labor as whole is against
Dupre," continued Bowen, land l am
with labor. The legislative boards
of labor unions meet within the week
and will then decide where they
stand as to the candidates. This
board reviews the legislative record
of a candidate and makes a decision
for or against him. cannot speak
for the board, but l am quite positive
as to my own position-I am against
Dupre"
Bowen's stand caused a great deal
of surprise when he announced his
position Saturday. The situation is
complex. Higgins, out for the con-
gressional nomination as an indie
pendent, has avowedly been a Stacker
and endorser of Francis Williams,
the candidate of the Sullivan ma
chine.
Bowen is the Behrman candidate
for the public service commissioner
against Williams, and is announcing
himself for Higgins. who is opposing
him from every street corner, factory
lot and rostrum in Jefferson parish
and the rest of the Second district

reached Saturday night over the
telephone and told of Bowen's en-
dorsement Of his candidacy. His
party has not endorsed me, and there
seems to be a split as to whether

or Williams, who has been a friend
of labor and has kept his promises
will be supported by labor.

TROOP NO. 80 BOY
SCOUTS OF AMERICA
CBy l.. J. Schroder)
Parents Visit Camp

The Boy Scouts of Troop 80 were
honored by visit from their parents
on last Sunday. 1t was indeed a
happy reunion, but only lasted for
the one day. The visit came as a
surprise to many of the boys, as they
did not expect to see mother, father,
sister and brother until they returned.
One little fellow was so surprised that
he leaped at his mother like the frogs
that are found in the vicinity of the
camp and freely Rugged and kissed
her.
During the day the parents spent
much time inspecting the camp and
it's surroundings. They were espe'
cially amused at how the boys re
ceived their meals. In a line they
filed past the kitchen, where they
were served chicken, rice, potatoes
peas and other good things to eat
and drink.
After dinner came rest, and then
departure time, the long, dreary ride
back home. Before leaving, one
mother asked her boy if he wanted
to go home. and he replied with a
look upon his face, as though he
meant to say, Mother, l love you
but | don't want to go home"
Every Wednesday and Sunday
night is camp fire night at the New
Orleans Council camp. The boys sit
around the fire and crack jokes, sing
recite, and in general amuse all il
camp. At the last camp fire the boys
of Troop 80 distinguished themselves
Scout Richard Stenhouse delivered {
/ beautiful address, entitled "Wha
Would the Puritans Say if They Saw
the Flappers of Today" At thu
close he was given tremendous ap
plause. Next came Scout Roy Drumm
who with his beautiful voice rem
dered, what is Life Without Mother.
Scout Alvin Covell then delivered :
short address, entitled "Withou
Character There Can Be No Tru
Manhood"
Scoutmaster Charles Hughes thel
sang a beautiful, touching song emit
tied "In the Days of My Youth.
When Mr. Hughes finished this beat
tiful song many of the boys wer
seen to wipe their eyes, but afte
being consoled they remarked tina

YOUTHFUL SWIMMER GOES TO
DALLAS TO SWIM FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP

I'll do my best to win exclaimed
Mary Gordon, well known young
swimmer of the Algiers Fairgrounds,
when informed that she was to be
sent to Dallas, Texas, to compete in
the swimming races for the Southern
senior championships, which will be
held Wednesday, Aug. 10.
1t might be said, with no eXagger
alton, that swimming is rather a new
accomplishment of Marys, for she
made her first attempt at the Algiers
swimming pool just three years ago.
She learned quickly and readily, and
it was not long before she was swim
ming her way to fame.
Mary Gordon, who is the 14-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Gordon of Algiers, has established
for herself a record in swimming and
! diving which is positive proof that
| she will make things hot for her com
petitors at the championship meet al
Dallas.
She holds all the ladies' city cham
pionships for swimming races up tC
100 yards. These events include
dashes of 20, 40, 80 and 100 yards
She also has the honor of having
won the 50-yard championship of thu
South. This last distinction was &c
quired just a few weeks ago at ;
meet held at the Audubon Park pool
In addition to holding so many cham
pionships, Mary has won seyera
medals for competing in minor race
held at the Y NJ G. c.. the CAM
street pool and the water carniva
at Spanish Fort.
Mary is also very fond of diving
but her record in this branch o
water sports does not equal he
swimming achievements. although sh'
dives gracefully and has displayed
excellent form In her second at
tempt at diving she won seconC
place. fourth place being her lot il
her very first effort, so it is not to-
much to expect that she will be win
ming first honors very shortly.
Thus far in her career as a swim
mer Mary has been indicated ant
her many friends have great expeC
tations of her ability to carry OF
further honors at the Dallas meet.

Japanese Form Of Greeting.

If man In an American city met an
old friend from the country and pro-
ceeded to double himself up into the
form Of a jackknife and then sit down
on the pavement, he would probably
be removed without delay to the near
est asylum. But If man in Japan
failed to observe this ceremonial In
greeting a friend he would be re-
garded not only as unfriendly but posi-
lively lacking In courtesy. This form
of greeting is one Of the Oldest Gus
toms Of Japan. In this respect Japan
csc politeness exceeds even that Of the
French, and the Blowing and scrap
ing habit is not confined to eny par
ticular class.

There are some complaints that
the streets of the city have not been
put in good shape by the present ad-
ministration. 1t would take the
reasury of the United States to re-
pair all of the bad streets left by
Behrman."
O'Connor was followed by ]. Ar

of the Criminal District Court, eD-
dorsed by the New Regulars, who
briefly outlined his past record as
assistant district attorney for ten
years, during which time he has
handled more than $4,000 cases. Mr..
Charbonnet stated that he believes
he is qualified for the position and
that his many years of experience
would prove a valuable asset. A
man must be fully qualified for the
office of criminal judge, he declared
for life and liberty are more sacred
than property.
In a brief address John Merkel pre-
scented by Mr.. Acker as "a man from
the Seventh Ward" said that the
organization is confronted with q
battle for political liberty on Sept
u. He pleaded with those present
not to let the city go back to the

for the benefit of the striking shop

shape at Gretna Amusement Park

was in fair condition, but the outfield
was marked by bad spots and the
balls became water soaked, making
handling difficult, and also interfered
with the fielding work Of the play

by the Gretna Athletics. to 4, the
Magnolias winning; but the game
was not a bad one, practically all
of the runs being scored in the last
two innings. The second game
