kerchief to his hand so that the camera man can take him as the bad twin This time we will be behind aim.
 -On the screen this will look (that is fl they have luck) as though there was a crowd of people about four abreast coming out of this cafe, with each brother"
 And If they don't have luckr l asked.
 If they don't have luck we'll have another call"
 Well, pray for luck" said im- pulsively.
 T will not haven't job! she said feelingly.
 We went through this operation again and again. Each time it seemed to send the director closer to insanity Finally he said: "Oh, for - go to lunch. We'll try it after. You may have a half an hour"
 I thought I was very hungry but ] found on reaching the little restau- rant that I could not eat and soon wandered back to the set.
 The others came struggling in and promptly on the minute we were called.
 While we had been at luncheon the director had ordered a large heavy red velvet covered rope to be stretched down the middle of the stairway and attached to a pedestal with tassels at the bottom step.
 This I found had been put there to keep us from walking out of the picture. Three times we went through the scene again.
 Finally in desperation the director ka ol1 xf l. l. first on one side and then on the other, telling us: Don't touch that rope. I only had it put there to keep you from going beyond it on either side.
 ''Sartwell, as you leave the door way you turn and speak to your brother. That is on count four. You, Miss on count five turn and speak to the brother. You, Jerry, don't an ticipate your count. Wait until you hear number eight. Then turn, look . ing directly across this red rope and say-it's a title you know. Some party if you ask me.'"
 I happened to glance at Jerry. He resembled the cat which had eaten the canary. all because he had been given title to speak. Every person in atmosphere is ambitious to be sim gied out to speak little, as 1t puts him momentarily in the eye of the spectator.
 After this rehearsal. which 1t seemed to me should have been given to us at first, they took the scene and we were dismissed with the words We will call you for the night scenes within few days"
 A nice young chap driving by me while I stood waiting for a bus shouted: Got one more seat. Going our way?" Thoughtlessly I said: Yes, to Hollywood boulevard" l had forgotten that I had moved.
 Isn't 1t nice of him to take me in, Y l said to the girl who had made room for me beside her.
 Yes. Bob Hadley always does that. The men and girls who have cars In this business are very nice to all of us."
 You mean" said sarcastic voice, 'Shat most of us leave our jealousies behind and becom ehuman when we leave the lot"
 Lucille. you are a cat" and the conversation languished.

REALTORS REPORT
Delegates To Tri-Cities Optimistic
 Over Organization There

report of the visit of Birmlng- ham realtors to Muscle Shoals last Monday and Tuesday to organize the Muscle Shoals Real Estate board was made yesterday afternoon at the weekly luncheon of the Birmingham Real Estate board by A. c. Montgom- cry, regional director of the National Real Estate board, who headed the committee that visited Muscle Shoals. Mir. Montgomery was very optimistic over the results of the trip and stated that the residents of the Tri-Cities were for the Ford soffer first. last and always.
 "A trip to Muscle Shoals will bring you face to face with all the facts in the case" said Mir. Montgomery. we found there that everyone was for the Ford offer first, last and al- ways, and that if you didn't think that way you soon found yourself all alone.
 "The Birmingham delegation was entertained and enjoyed the trip ex- ceedingly well. Every courtesy was shown us by the people up there and we made a thorough investiga- tion."
 A. A. Gambill. who also made the trip, spoke his view of the Muscle Shoals proposition.
 T hope that the Muscle Shoals Real Estate board will accomplish con siderable good in the Tri-Cities At first it was hard to get them in terested in forming the board but now they have registered 100 per cent.
 The only bid for the Shoals that the people have in mind up there is the one offered by Henry Ford If Ford doesn't get Muscle Shoals some thing serious is going to happen among the people up there"
 Jerome Tucker, Leon Friedman and J. c. Smith also made short talks.
 The attendance prize of 500 en- graved cards donated by the Amer ican Printing company, was won by A. B. Tanner.

One Of New Iberia's best known
business men, and pioneer lumber
men, passed away on Wednesday
at 8 o'clock, when the Grim Reaper
gathered into his fold Mr.. George w
Dallas.
Mr.. Dallas was born in Plaque
mine, La, in 1850, but moved to New
Orleans while still young boy, lat
er coming to New Iberia, when about
II years old.
He started life here working in a
saw mill. When only in his early
twenties he drew all plans for, and
supervised, the erection of a large
saw mill in Franklin, proving his
genius in that business. Afterwards
he managed the Planters Lumber
Co., in Jeanerette, and was in full
charge of the bowman mill here
until it closed down.
He had always been very active in
business affairs, and at the time of
his death owned The Dallas Hard
ware business, and was interested in
other concerns including Leblanc &
Broussard Ford Garage; Iberia Jew
elry Co., and was considerable
stock holder in the State National
Bank.
He is survived by his wife, broth
ers, w. t. Dallas of Galveston and
P. w. Broughton, and sister, Miss
George Broughton.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the Episcopal Church by Rev
Diggs, and at the home and grave
by the Masonic fraternity, of which
he was loyal member. Fully one
hundred Masons escorted the body
to its last resting place. He was also
an Elk and Pythian, and many mem
bers of these fraternities Joined in
the funeral cortage of hundreds OF
his former friends and acquaintance
The pail bearers were Messrs. P
W. Broughton, Fred Lietmeyer, A
Leblanc, Rene Delahoussaye, l.. F.
Villermin, and his nephews, George
and Fred Dallas, of Beaumont.

GOOD NEWS FOR MILK USERS.

We have been requested to an
nounce that, starting with the first of
March, the dairymen of Iberia will
cut the price of milk twenty per
cent, or from fifteen cents quart
down to twelve cents.
We do not know whether this is a
direct result of the recent organiza-
ton of Dairymen's Association or
not, but we surmise that this has
something to do with the reduction
as some of the members state that
by cooperative buying of feed, bot
ties and other requirements, the cost
of production has been considerably
reduced.
If the Association has brought a.
bout this material reduction in the
cost of living, we are strong for the
organization.

NEW DAIRYMAN.

Mr.. Louis PessOn, who was for
years one of New Iberia's leading
dairymen, has decided to resume the
business. Lately Mr.. Pesson has been
selling only butter, but on Monday
of this week he started delivering
milk again about the city.
Mr.. Pesson was one of the very
first of our local dairymen to have
his cows government tested for tub
erculosis, and he has kept the purity
of his herd up by frequent tests.
He is known all over the United
States as breeder of fancy Jersey
cows, owning some animals that are
famous throughout America. His
dairy has recently been remodelled
and brought up to the highest stand
ard of Stock Board Health regula-
tions, over one thousand dollars be-
ing expended for sanitary arrange
ments. Even ordinary water is not
good enough for Mr.. Pesson's Jer-
seys' and he has had an artesian
we'll put down that furnishes pure
flowing water at all times.
Any one wishing to take milk
(the rich, creamy kind, buttermilk
or cream from Mr.. Pesson may dc
so by leaving their name with Mr..
Disch at his grocery store, corner OF
Weeks and St. Peter Streets.
We are informed that Senator Ed
win S. Broussard, who was called te
Shreveport as witness in trial Law
suit, expects to visit New Iberia be-
fore returning to his post in Wash
