DENNISON 'BLUE SKY"
LAW Is JUST ANOTHER
HANDICAP TO BUSINESS

The Dennison blue sky bill before
Congress would close the mails, tele-
graph ind express facilities to any
man offering any security in an in
|dustrial undertaking, not passed by
the "blue-sky" law.
In other words, a man from Cali
|%fornia, Utah or Wyoming seeking
capital in Iowa for developing a
western enterprise could o use the
mails to sell his stock in Iowa be-
cause his corporation had not been
licensed to do business by an Iowa
blue-sky commission.
Our federal laws covering fraudu-
llent use of the mails, our state laws
covering the organization Of corpor-
atoms and our blue sky laws offer
every safeguard necessary to pre-
vent the public being swindled. In
the face of such protection 1t is un-
|%called-for meddling with business to
further handicap the man seeking to
develop natures with laws
which would require SO much legal
advice and expense that 1t would
discourage the average man from
undertaking the task.

rents Club.

There will be presented at Wood
man Hall on Tuesday night of next
week, August 8th, a performance by
local talent, under the auspices of
the Parent Teachers Association Of
Bay st. Louis.
1t is expected there will be a large
attendance. The Woodmen Hall is
large and roomy, airy, ard in addi-
ton the oscillating wall fans at close
intervals between locations make the
place cool and pleasant.
From this entertainment the mon

the school fund, to ameilorate the
interior of the school, purchase new
books for the library and to supply
the many needs for the comfort and
better advancement of the pupils,
for which there is no fund or means
of procuring the money therefor.
Unusually active are the ladies in
charge. Rehearsal Of the play to be
presented takes place every evening
and the young ladies and getlemen
(no children) taking part are thor
oughly conversant with their respec-
tive roles.
Following the play, the hall will be
turned over to dancing. A band for
the purpose has been procured, and
dancing to the cooling breezes of the
many fans in the hall will be quite
pleasant.
Admission, SO cents; children, 25
cents. Help the cause. The city
schools will now reopen within the
next few weeks and the Association
wishes to get the many things neces-
sary in shape.

FOR "oUn LADY OF THE GULF
Benefit Entertainment To Occur Sat-
urday and Sunday, 10th and goth,
Promises Well-Meetings Held and
Different Committees Busy As
Proverbial Bees.

Vast preparations are in progress
for the forthcoming entertainment
officially known as the Annual Mid
Summer Festival, which will take
place on Saturday and Sunday, Au-
gust 10th and Goth, for the benefit
of "Our Lady of the Gulf" Catholic
Church, on the grounds and pavilion
of st. Stanislaus College.
Mrs. A. Batistella is president of
the forces at work. A meeting was
held at the convent basement yes
terday afternoon for reports and for
further organization. Results were
satisfactory. 1t was learned that the
different committees for the various
booths are engaged in their respec-
tive tasks in manner which in ad-
vance spells success.
A program embracing local and
out-of-town talent will be presented
on each evening of the two days, and
it is purposed to use only the very
best available.
Father Gmelch, the pastor, ex-
presses much satisfaction at the re-
suits SO far attended. Donations
and contributions to the various
booths carry a long list. Several
minor entertainments have been
planned to raise funds for the differ
emf booths. One of these will occur
Tuesday afternoon at the Bay-Wave-
land Club House, when Mrs. j. D..
Ritayik will entertain at cards.
The unanimity with which the
parishioners and visitors have gone
into the spirit of the project is with
few precedents, and the cause ought
to behoove one and all concerned to
join forces.

THE PALATIAL LICHTENSTEIN
YACHT LAUNCHED.
The "Jetta" Leaves Her Ways at
Madisonville, La, Shipyard-Said
To Be the Very Last Word in Her
Class.

|. M. Lichtenstein' palatial yacht,
which has been in the building the
past year or more, was launched
Wednesday. The craft left her ways
at the Madisonville (La.( shipyard
without the slightest hitch. Boatmen
and others who know say it was a
pretty sight, and won unanimous ex-
preston of satisfaction and pleasure.
The new vessel was designed and
especially built for Mr.. Lichtenstein.
It succeeds his yacht "Rowena," so
we'll known to all Bay st. Louisians
and to the many who have so fre-
quently enjoyed the hospitality of
Mrs. Lichtenstein as we'll.
A measurement of 72 feet spans
the craft from stem to stern. A
latest type engine of $50 horsepower
built expressly at cost of $4,000,
will furnish the power. The floors
are of the very finest of wood, highly
polished, and the interior embraces
all comforts possible. 1t seems as II
nothing imaginable has been omit
ted. No like structure could be more
complete. There is no room for I'M
provement. 1t will always remain as
a monument to the genius OF Mr.
Lichtenstein, who was truly the mas
ter hand in designing and building,
for it was under his personal direc-
ton the designers and master build
ers have been working over a year.
They have accomplished results, wor-
thy of unusual recognition.
The "Jetta" will practically make
her maiden trip to Bay St. Louis, and
the many warm personal friends OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Lichtenstein will ac-
cord the craft and it's owner an ova-
ton we'll worthy of the event.

William Garriga, young man in
his teens, from Fenton, languishes in
the Hancock county jail.
Murray T. Bangard, we'll known
and successful merchant, filed
charges against the youth. Swearing
to an affidavit, Deputy Sheriff Jos. V.
Bontemps soon located him in Bay
st. Louis and caused his arrest.
1t appears Garriga entered Ban
CARDS store a few days since. Pur-
chasing $165 worth of merchandise,
he rendered a check for $22.50 in
payment. The check was signed by
George Cuevas. per his son Ralph. A
blank check of the Hancock County
Bank was used, the name Of this
, bank erased, and in its place substi-
tuted the name of the Bank of Pass
Christian.
Mr.. Bangard deposited the check
in one of the local banks. A few
days later it was returned with the
memorandum that the signature was
irregular On investigation Mr..
Bangard found that the check had
never been issued by Mr.. Cuevas,
neither had it been signed by his son
Ralph; hence it was a forgery. In
fact the son, young Ralph Cuevas, IS
in Colorado, where he has been for
some time.
On learning these facts Mr.. Ban
gard Immediately caused young Gar
riga's arrest on charges based on the
above facts, as related to The Echo
by him.
1t was subsequently learned that
similar checks had been cashed by
various merchants in Bay st. Louis,
the plan or scheme working wherever
it was tried save in one instance. This
was at the Bay Jewelry Store, where
Mr.. Templet, the proprietor, refused,
as he was suspicious of the check.
II would never had cashed the
check" said Mr.. Bangard to The
Echo, "but the young man presented
himself to me as Ralph Cuevas, the
son of Geo. Cuevas, of Fenton. I
told him, although i had not seen
Ralph in ten or twelve years, that he
did not resemble the boy | used to
know. Whereupon he replied that he
was Ralph, but having been through
the ravages of war and the vicissi-
tudes that follow he was considerably
changed"
Mr.. Bangard says he cashed the
check because he did not feel like
turning down son of Mr.. Cuevas,
feeling friendly as he does toward
the family.
Similar reports come from Plea
yune. 1t appears the operations were
carried on generally in this and ad-
joining territory and many merchants

Put Yourself Behind the Other Mans
Steering Wheel.

The following list of instructions
if observed during Safety Week and
the other 81 weeks of the year would
do much to eliminate the aftermath
question: "How did it happen?"
Put yourself behind the other
mans steering wheel
Don't laugh at timid passengers
They're your guests. Make them
comfortable.
Don't expect children to look out
for themselves. The fact that it was
the child's "fault" doesn't make death
less terrible.
When a man in the wrong insists
on the right-of-way, let him have
it. You can't argue with a fool.
Get the hand-signal habit. It pro-
tects you as we'll as others.
When the man behind wants to
pass, slow down and draw over. It's
safer to have him speeding ahead of
you than alongside you.
Don't try to pass the car anead
when another car is approaching
from the opposite direction.
Slow down and keep to the right
as you come to the crest of hill.
Don't dispute the crossing with a
railroad train. What's the hurry?
Think of the other yoad users
when you have to splash through mud
or water.
Remember that the pedestrian at
the crossing has right to cross.
Don't drive jerkily. 1t keeps the
man behind you worried.
When your brakes aren't working
the time to get them fixed is now.
If you forget the rules of the road
you can safely fall back on the
Golden Rule.

There was fled in the Office of the
Clerk of Circuit Court of Hancock
County, in Hay st. Louis, yesterday
afternoon a suit for $25,000.00 dam
ages. The plaintiffs are S. c. Lar
kin ct ais. The defendants are MISS
Vicky Taquino and her brother,
George J. Taquino, of New Orleans,
but summer residents of the Wave
land beach front.
1t will be remembered that on the
evening of Wednesday, July 26th,
about dusk, Harvey Larkin, 10-year-
old son of the complainants, ran
across the street from the place of
residence of his parents, corner
Union and Hancock streets, and into
an automobile, said to belong to
George j. Taquino, and driven by his
sister, Miss Vicky Taquino. The boy
was instantly killed.
The attorneys for the complain
ants are Gex & Weller, of Bay st.
Louis. AS the declaration was only
filed yesterday afternoon and the de-
PENDANTS at this writing possibly not
apprised of the suit, TO action has
been taken on their part. However,
in due time summons will have been
served and their attorneys will make
ready for the trial. There is no gain
saying the suit viii be hard fought.
The accident o=ght to be a warn
ing to others. There are entirely too
many young people driving automo-
biles over town, and the surprise is
we have not had more such TRACE
dies.
1t is a violation of city ordinance,
and as stated in these columns previ-
ously, it is violation of common
sense.

STATEMENT OF LANES CAM
PAIGN COMMITTEE.
To the Democratic Voters of the
Southern District of Mississippi !:

To the Democratic Voters of the
Southern District of Mississippi
In presenting the candidacy OF
Hon. Edgar M. Lane for Supreme
Court Judge, we feel warranted IN
stating that he is man of sterling
honesty, splendid legal ability, tdel-
ity of purpose. and commendable
courage. He is SO recognized IN
those spheres where he has hereto
fore labored.
The correct estimate of mans
worth is always made by those VINO
know him best. The following COM
parison of the records of Senator
Lane and his opponent, W. II. Cook,
now serving as an appointee of Gov
ernor Russell, will give the people OF
the district some idea of the standing
of the two men with their home peo-
pie.
Mr.. LANE.
Mr.. Lane ran for and was elected
to the State Senate in 1915.
Mr.. Lane ran for and was elected
to the lower House of Legislature In
1919.
These are the only two instances
in which he offered as candidate be-
fore the people.
The point is, he was NEVER DE-
FEATED.
Mr.. COOK.
Mr.. Cook ran for State senator and
was defeated.
Mr.. Cook ran for circuit judge and
was defeated.
Mr.. Cook ran for county attorney
in Forrest county and was defeated,
this time by a youthful lawyer who
announced for office for the first time
in his life.
The point is, he, MR.. COOK, WAS
ALWAYS DEFEATED when going
before the voters.
Every Office he has held was by
appointment.
"By their fruits We shall know
them"
We urge the voters to look into the
records of these two gentlemen; to
investigate carefully and ascertain
their respective abilities, and when
they have done so to vote for the best
man for the place.
Respectfully,
EDGAR M. LANE
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.

RETURN HOME OF OUR SOLDIER
BOYS.
Came in From Vicksburg BY Way OF
Gulfport Monday Night-Missed
Regular Train-Arrived by Freight
About Midnight-Pians of Wei
come Abandoned.

With brass band in readiness and
their many friends and admirers, 1t

to give the boys of HowitNr Com
pany, 155, returning from the State
Encampment at Vicksburg, all plans
of a triumpnal welcome had to be
abandoned Monday night when it was
learned that the special coach over
the G. & S. |. had missed connection
with No. of the L. & N. train.
1t was quite disappointment. The
boys-some forty-odd-ar exceed
ingly popular, and their homecoming
had been anxiously awaited. 1t was
proposed to give them truly warm
welcome. But the plans of man do
not always mature.
Local admirers had planned quite
a dance at the Bay Cafe Pavilion.
However, this was carried out, and
when the soldier boys reached here
at about midnight, their SPECIAL coach
carried hither by a freight, they read
lily joined the dance. con with the
dance, and let joy be unconhned. "
Then after the many greetings had
been exchanged and experiences
briefly narrated the fair ones and
the gallant young braves tripped the
light fantastic until late hour. 1t
was most enjoyable affair, even
though the guests of honor were long
delayed. And the reception and
dance was fitting tribute and
thoughtful celebration for the home
coming.
Capt. Waller and Lieut.. Arceneaux
expressed much qualification over the
result of the encampment. They re-
port that it was successful in every
particular And above all they are
proud of the record won. Although
Biloxi print asserts to the con-
trary, the Bay ST. Louis Howitzer
boys were officially declared the fin
est and most orderly looking of COM
panies in camp and making the best
showing and evidence of better train
ing than any other in Camp William
son.
"Our camp was located four miles
from the city of Vicksburg," asserted
one of the men, practically in a val
ley and hot as could possibly be. We
worked in the blazing sun, but the in
conveniences were nothing. We were
pleased with the treatment received,
and where some inconvenience were
experienced we were more than rec
ompensed by the consideration of our
superior officers. In fact, the utmost
harmony prevailed, and the good
spirit during the entire two weeks
added largely to the success of our
stay"
1t is great pity the annual State
Encampment is not held on some spot
alo~g the Mississippi Gulf Coast rath-
er in the interior, where it is hot as
blazes! The delightful Gulf coast
ought to be the location for a perma-
nent encampment site.

ROAD AID IN MISSISSIPPI.

Good road advocates in Mlssis-
sipui. aided by number of the State
newspapers, are endeavorlng 20
arouse statewide interest in con-
stitutional amendment to be voted on
next November. Mississippi has
State highway department, but Its
powers are limited under existing
provisions of the State constitution
At the time of it's creation county
supervisoral boards were reluctant
to relinquish control of highways In
their respective counties. Their rep
reservations won favor and the au-
thority of the State commission or
board was accordingly restricted to
satisfy the demand for the retention
of county control. Mississippis sys-
tenn "ftted in" with the federal
road aid legislation at the time and
millions of federal money have been
allotted to highway construction
within the State.
But a year or so ago Congress
amended its road aid act, reinforc-
ing it with a maintenance provision.
AS the amended federal law is now
interpreted by Mississippians to Mis-
sissippians, all roads built or to be
built with the aid of federal funds
must be maintained by the State
highway department. Mississippl's de-
partment at present lacks the power
to take these roads over, the boards
of supervisors having been given full
Jurisdiction over roads, bridges and
ferries in their respective counties.
Consequently, it is argued, Mississip-
pi may forfeit its right to participate
in the federal aid allotments unless
it complies by giving its state high
way department larger jurisdiction
and authority.
Mississippi's Legislature met this
problem at it's latest session by SUBJ
hitting a constitutional amendment
which as described gives the State
highway department jurisdiction
over roads designated as integral
parts of a Estate highway SYSTEM"
If the amendment carries at the No
vember election federal aid allot-
ments can be expended on these
roads, since the federal requirement
will have been met so far as they are
concerned Roads not included in the
estate highway system" will be con-
tinued, we gather, under control of
the county authorities as at pres
ent
So far as we have seen, this pro-
posed adjustment of road control
has aroused no serious opposition,
while the advantae of compliance
with the federal requirements in Or
der that Mississippi may continue to
share in the allotment of federal road
funds is being strongly presented.
From present indications the chief
danger to the amendment lies in the
possibility OF lack OF popular IN
terest and a consequent failure of
many Mississippians to vote upon it
when they go to the polls in Novem-
Der. The campaign to arouse inter-
est and enlist support for it is be-
gun early, with evident intent to
minimize that danger. More than
So, 600, 900 of federal DAD money has
been allotted TO Mississippi since the
federal aid act was eacted, accord
ing to published estimates. The right
to participate in the federal allot-
ments plainly is worth preserving
even though it necessitates the
amendment of a state constitutional
