A JACKET WITHOUT SLEEVES
French Maker oeVises Interesting Gar
msnt to Be Worn With After
noon Dresses

Many Of the most important dress
makers disclaim any effort toward the
sensational silhouette. To meet the
demand for new styles they vary their
Characteristic lines by beautiful fab
rics, striking colors and trimming de-
tails.
Chanel has made no basic changes
In the styles which she exploits. Her
dresses are straightline, many Of
them with beautiful embroideries. She
uses laces profusely. Among her pref
dest models are some frocks OF flow
cred silks, the flowers scattered over
q plain background In the form of
large motifs. These silks are yelled
with lace, giving an extremely pleas
ing effect Several Of her afternoon
dresses are accompanied by little
sleeveless jackets. Such models fire.
quently carry Russian embroIderies.
The greatest change In the models
made by Callot is in the colorIngs.
There is q considerable showing of
paler shades Of blue and rose. She
has given preference to these paIer
hues over the rich oriental shades
which she used last season. She also
used many silks In pompadour effects.
Other than In color CaIlot has dom
practically nothing new In the way of
fashions. There are unusual variations
of cid themes. This designer uses EN-.
broideries, ribbons and laces even more
profusely than she has In the past.

Of the State attending. Several hun
cred veterans participated while St.
James Lodge F. & A. NJ. in full regalia
laid the cornerstone according to the
rites of their order on such occasions.
Gov. S. D. McEnery then took
charge Of the meeting and introduced
the orator Of the occasion. Altogether
it was a grand and imposing affair
the like of which has not often been
witnessed in Baton Rouge.
The base was finished in due time
and everything made ready to receive
the statue of the soldier, but $500 was
to be paid before it would be delivered
and the money was not in the treas
urer's hands and the association
thought it better to wait while be-
fore calling upon citizens to contribute
further or by soliciting the Pansy
Circle to continue their onerous labors.
Thus two years passed and the
soldier had not yet been placed in
position and it seemed as if he never
would keep watch and ward over the
Boulevard. 1t was then that the Sons
of Veterans stepped into the breach,
as it we're, raised the balance due
and completed the unfinished work.
! Now that the city has grown far
beyond the dreams Of the most opto-
mistic boomer Of the day of which we
speak and the ground upon which
the monument stands has become
necessary to meet the demand of in
creased travel and daily growing Of
commercial interests, the monument
must be removed and when that is
accomplished its place should be where
it will never again be disturbed but
stand forever that future generations
may be reminded of the suffering and
sacrifice of their ancestors made in
behalf of Louisiana and the South.
This sketch would be incomplete
were we to omit mention Of the patrl'
otic young people who by their un-

asking the electric company to lower
the steps of the street cars, on the
City Belt. Similar petitions have
been made in St. Louis and other cit
les.
The ladies expressed their gratifica-
ton over the cooperation of the city
officials, and citizens in the appeal
for weed cutting. The chairman of
the weed cutting committee was told
by one of the city officials that more
weeds had been cut in Baton Rouge
this summer than ever before.
The juvenile delinquency question
came in for share of discussion and
the hope was expressed that Baton
Rouge will yet have probation Of
fcer, that will be paid an adequate
salary to justify the party, giving
their full time to the duties. The re.
mainder of the meeting was devoted
to routine matters and the reports Of
committees. The report Of the treas.

Hold Important Meeting.

At the last regular monthly meet
ing of the Civic Association, the en-
thusiastic members present discussed
taking up with the new municipal
commissioners the necessity Of ex-
tending the city limits to arrest the
crowded housing conditions. A large
committee was appointed to make in
quiries and ascertain what steps
might be taken in this matter, also
the zoning 'cf the city and to ad-
vocate a strong movement for more
parks. The same group will make
plans for a flower show in Baton
Rouge next spring and will invite the
cooperation of other local clubs. This

HOW FUNDS WERE RAISED AND
WHEN THE SOLDIER MONU.
MENT WAS DEDICATED.

Now that the question Of removal
of the Confederate Monument is be-
ing agitated" few remarks as to the
methods employed in raising funds
for the erection and to pay for the
statue may not be out Of place. Dur
ing the exciting days of reconstruc-
tion the white people of Baton Rouge
had other matters to engage their at
tention than the building Of monu-
ments but no sooner had the State
been redeemed and Governor Nichols
elected than ex- Confederates and loyal
friends took up the work of honoring
the South's dead.
To carry out the patriotic sugges-
ton an association was formed known
as the Confederate Monument Asso-
citation which was offcered from time
to time by Presidents Gen. Leon Jas
tremski, Gen. John McGrath, Judge G.
w. Buckner, John j. Wax and F. NJ
Brooks with Miss Sallie Avery, after
wards Mrs. VIM. Rhodus and Miss
Addie McGrath, afterwards Mrs. Addie
McGrath Lee, as Secretaries, and Mr.

in need whether local or otherwise.
One of their benefactions was raising
$25O.0O for the victims of the Char
lesion earthquake which caused great
distress in that city and other amounts
were sent to Sabine Pass and cities
where distress prevailed. These young
girls gave concerts, theatrical per-
formances, grand balls, steamboat
excursions to Bayou Sara, Donaldson
vile and elsewhere and in all their
movements they were as we'll and as
generally aided by our people as hard
times would permit.
At one of the meetings at which
the finance committee reported, it
was learned that the association was
long way from realizing sufficient
funds to carry out it's views and one
and all were greatly discouraged but
still the monument must be erected
if years were required to do so. When
the spirits of the members were at
lowest ebb one suggested that the
Pansy Circle be called upon to assist,
which being considered an excellent
idea, committee was appointed to
confer with the circle. That patriot
ic body consented and went enthusias'
tically to work and within one year
thereafter the Monument Society had
in the hands of the treasurer some
$4,000. The Pansy Circle was chap.
eroned by mothers and aided by young
men in all their ventures.
When the funds were available
contract was entered into with Hanal
& Voss, contractors, and the soldier
ordered and received upon paymen
of certain sum, the balance to b.

CESSFUL CONCLUSION
Valuable Instruction Given in First
Aid by Miss Chambers-Pro-
grams Are Heard by Many
Callers During Outing.

The Girl Scouts who have been
camping at Port Vincent on the Amite
River returned to the city Thursday
evening, coming by the way Of Hope
Villa on the Ramires boat, the "Mon
AMI, thence to town in cars which
met them at the boat landing.
The camp was in charge of Mrs.
Joe Ramires who was unSparlng in
her efforts and interest to make the
camp success. And altho she had
been disappointed in some she had
been expecting to help her with the
leadership, everything went along
spenddly. Miss Maud Chamber, Par
ish nurse, was on the camp and lent
valuable assistance in giving instruc-
tions in first aid, etc. Miss Jessie
Chambers of l.. S. U. had charge of
the camp fire programs. A consld-
cradle number of the people of the
community came in evenings to enjoy
the camp fire programs, the girls
camping on the same site last summer
having attracted their attention to the
camp fire programs.
About thirty girls altogether spent
some time on the camp, and their
health w.s of the very best. The
food was plain but very wholesome,
and disappeared in true scout style
when the girls heard the mess call.
Two girls were detailed each day by
Captain Claire" to serve at the ta-
bles which had been constructed un-
der two large tarpaulins which had
been borrowed from Mr.. Taylor Of the
Highway Commission. Mr.. Foos Of
the Delco Light Co., very generously
loaned Delco outfit for the purpose
of lighting the kitchen and mess hall,
and altogether, with the cordiality OF
the surrounding neighbors, the camp
ing period passed very pleasantly.
The camp was held open for the
boys who went out on Friday for q
, period of ten or eleven days. The,

A splendid program of instruction
and recreation has been arranged fos

leaders and instructors who will as

out of the camp. Some of the fea.
lures of the boys camp will be field
day with contests between the various
tent squads, rifle range for prac-
tice and passing craftsmanship tests,
water sports of various kinds, and
natural history and woodcraft work
under Mr.. Percy Viosca of the State

Theodora's Life
At The Gay Court
Of Roman Empire

The real Theodore, Empress Of the Ro-
man Empire, was the wife OF the Emper-
or Justinian, born probably in Byzantium
Gas Constantinople was then called, in
the early years Of the sixth century and
died In the year 547. According to Proco-
plus, the chief historian of that period,
but by no means trustworthy authori-
ty, because Of the manifest hatred of
Theodore shown in his writings, she was
the daughter Of Acacius, lion tanner in
the Amphitheatre at Constantinople.
While still child. she was sent on the
stage to earn her living. She became
quite notorious in her younger days, and
the spirit and impudence of her acting
in the rough farces delighted the crowd
Of that period.
Procopius declares that she became a
noted courtesan, and accompanied the
Roman governor, Hecebolus, on journey
to northern Africa, but having quarreled
with him returned to Constantinople
where she was the center OF much gayety
and life. At this time, Justinian, neph-
ew Of the Emperor Justin, became In
fatuated with her and wished to marry
her, but could not overcome the oppose
ton Of the Empress Euphemia. After
her death, however, Justtnian married
Theodore and when he succeeded to the
throne on the death OF his uncle, Theo-
dora became the Empress Of the Roman
Empire, Justinian was then A years Of
age and Theodore %.
Procopius relates in his history, the Ans
ecdota, many repulsive tales regarding
Theodora's earlier life. But his evident
hatred OF her compelled later historians
to regard him as very doubtful wit
ness.
Theodore comes to the Isis theater
Monday ana Tuesday as motion picture
spectacle.

Largest Cypress
In Florida Falls;

MOORE HAVEN. Fla. July s.-The

have been the largest In Florida and
which had stood for ages near the
shore OF Lake Okeechobes Q short dis
lance from the settlement Of Belle
Glade, has fallen. After withstanding
violent storms. the big tree, forty-nine
feet in circumference, eight feet above
the ground. toppled before light gust
OF wind. Subsiding OF the waters be-
cause OF the drainage Of the Ever
glades had resulted in settling OF
the muck ground which left It's roots
undermined.
At the base Of the tree was an arti-

been carried there from the lake shore
by mound builders who once were in
habitants of the territory. The In

many Of their dad IN the mound for

have been recovered from It. One Of
the most interesting OF these was q
