CAN 1T BE DoNEa

"Short skirts, chiffon stockings,
rouge and powder must CO." the re-
former declaimed. "We have tried
to. abolish them by frowning upon
them, but the stubborness of the
younger generation has defeated us.
There is but thing left to do. We
must ignore them. They are worn
to attract attention. Once let the
young girl in her teens realize that
she can not draw notice to herself
by such eccentric and indecent garb
and she will Immediately embrace .
more normal style of dress. The
remedy is simple. Ignore, ignore,
ignore"
The susceptible young man in the
front row shifted uneasily.
"That's fine," he said without en-
thusiasm, .fbut can it be done y'-

FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAYS.
10000 Miles of Roads Mean Eco
nomic improvements

When the Federal-aid highway sys-
tem,, provided for by the recently
enacted Federal highway act, is COM
pleted there will be a network of
roads 10000 miles in length cover
ing the whole United States. The time
required for the completion of the
system will depend upon the rate at
which the necessary Federal Bureau
of Public Roads, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, which ad-
ministers Federal-aid money.
An idea Of what these roads will
mean to the country can be gained
by studying the effect Of roads built
in recent years and picturing what
would happen should they be torn up
and left in their former condition.
Should these roads go back to their
former state and the motor vehicle
which have come with them disap-
pear there would be many changes.
Many suburbanites would have to
move into the city and there would
real estate. Cities would have trou-
BILE in getting their fresh milk and
food supply. Much farm land would
decrease in value and the effect on
rural social life would be serious. In
fact, motor vehicles and the roads on
which to use them form such an i'm
>portant part of our economic and So
cial life that it is hard to picture to
the full extent what would happen.
Since all this dependence on high
way transportation has come in a
brief period Of years and with the
construction of 5000 miles of sur
faced highways, 10000 of which are
on the proposed Federal-aid highway
system, it can be understood what
further changes will take place as
the system grows to 10000 miles
in length and other roads are built
branching out from it.

Diesel Engines Being Repaired.

Now that the new Fairbanks-Morse
engine recently installed at the Mu-
Aicipal power plant is in successful
operation, the two old Diesel engines
are being overhauled and repaired
and will be put in first-class condi-
ton. The work is being done by the
Peoples Machine Works, of which j.
Clarence Leblanc, the expert me-
chanic, is proprietor: When the re-
pairing and overhauling is complete,
the electric current capacity Of the
plant will be practically doubled, and
will make it possible for the commits
sion to handle a much larger volume
of business. All things considered,
electric current is comparatively
cheap and there is no reason why it
should not be in more general use.
It's many conveniences make it indis-
pensable to those who are now using
it. With it's increased capacity the
commission might we'll reach out for
more business in town, in Port Bar
row, up and down the river and on
the bayou. There is no doubt that
many persons would take current, il
they only knew of the great conve-
nleHceS ana Lldt 1t can De obtained
at moderate cost. This information
could be brought to them by adver-
tising, as is done in other progressive
towns and cities of the state, and it
is only a question of time when its
use would become general through
out this entire neighborhood. The
plant does not do the business that it
should, considering the investment
which it presents. This business
could be greatly increased without
much additional expense and in time
the plant could be made a good pay
ing concern.

diction yesterday that the water

feet at New Orleans between April
25 and 30. The highest stage ever
recorded there was 22 in May, 1912.
DR.. Cline, revised his previous fore
cast for other points, and predicted
crests as follows: Natchez Sd to SAG
by April 25; Baton Rouge, 42.6 to
43.1; Plaquemine, 38.4 to 389, Don
aldsonville 34.1 to $40.
The highest stage ever reached in
Donaldsonville was 34.8 in May 1912
The stage here yesterday was given
as 1873.

Drvs Would Control Judiciary.

In a speech delivered a few days
ago, Senator Watson of Georgia, at
tackled the measure passed by the
senate last week, creating more than
a score of additionl federal judges,
and charged that the anti-saloon lea
que had been actively engaged in
promoting the passage of the bill.
The senator said that the league had
boasted that it was now attempting to
gain control of the judiciary. In the
course of the discussion, Senator Wat
son criticised the action Of the Ark
ansas judge who recently struck off
the list the names of some jurors
who had acquitted an alleged viola
tor Of the prohibition law. He de-
clared that the judge had invaded the
sacred provinces of the jury which
was to be judge of the facts present

cided to ''sack" the one mile of levee

prove a faux pas or not, SO as to al
lay the fears Of those living thirty or
forty miles below the supposed dan
gerous point or spot. This morning
a force of several hundred men with
ample lumber, sacks and other maa
terlal were put to work sacklng u

Pecan kernal Spot Disease Serious

Steps have been taken by the
| United States Department of Agri-
culture to aid pecan growers who have
| suffered severe losses during the past
season because of the unusual out
break Of pecan kerne mot disease,
The very finest varietfes4 pecans
have been attacked, particularly the
Schley, and many splendid groves,
bearing well, have shown severe loss
es at harvest because of the disease.
This condition has greatly interfered
with the marketing of the finest Pc
cans just as they were coming into
bearing. Several growers who could
not fill all their orders for the best
varieties found themselves at the cri-
tical time with kernelspotted nuts
on hand which had to be cracked in
order to be graded. The market for
the cracked n&ts or pecan meats is
less desirable than that for high
grade, large, full papers ~ nuts in
their natural state. Thu sults If
the studies made by depaf 1t spec
ialists in connection with t kernel
disease are shortly to appd n the
form of a bulletin.
