PLACING BLAME FOR
HOUSING SHORTAGE.
of Funds from the Loan
Market Is Given as One of
Principal Reasons.

ALBANY, n. Y, March 5.-Blaming
as one of the chief causes for the
housing shortage the withdrawal of
funds from the loan market, a report
of the Lockwood housing committee,

the problem lies in the erection of
more dwellings, and proposes recon-

realty bonds and mortgage. purposes.
The report, made public tonight, de-

zone of the chief causes leading to
the housing shortage" declared the
report, has been the withdrawal OF
funds of the insurance companies from
the loan market with the notable ex-
ceptton of the Metropolitan Life In
surance company, which has for some
years past been the main support of
the loan market and the chief encour-
agement to building operations"
The report also asserted that some
of the insurance companies actually
went so far as to call for payment on
outstanding real estate loans, thus
adding to the decentralization and dis
couragement of the real estate mort
gage market at the most critical time
in its history"

defendants to escape with fines.
1.-THE court in that case expounded
the extraordinary view that because
of the business and social standing of
these men, the humiliation Of being
compelled to plead guilty to a crime,
the imposition of comparatively small
fines upon them was a sufficient pun
ishment. The same point Of view
seems to prevail with the federal
judges.
There is no hope of compelling obe-

LATE PONTIFF WAS
MILITANT FEMINIST
Benedict XIV Expressed Opinion That
Women Had Great Mission
in the World.

PARIS, March The late Pope
Benedict XIV. was a militant feminist
and many times expressed the opinion
that women had great mission In the
world and for Christianity in partic-
ular, but he was as outspoken in his
criticism as he was in his praise when
some trait in woman did not meet
with his approval
He thoroughly disliked short skirts.
According to a story which has just
come from Rome, the pope noticed one
day crossing the court of St Damaso
a woman who had called at the vatican
on some business with the secretariat.
She was wearing the latest Paris style
of skirt, which barely covered the
knees.
Turning to one Of the bishops near
him, the pope said: II really cannot
understand some women. They have
no respect for anyone, not even the
pope. In the days of my youth I re-
call that all the young girls, my sisters
for instance, were Fostering their
mothers to put them in long skirts.
Now it appears that all the old women
wish to wear short ones"

NEW THEATRE IN THIBODAUX.
Magnificent Playhouse to Open tor
Business Next Thursday.

The magnificent new Grand Thea
TIE recently built in Thibodaux by
the Grand Theatre Company, Inc:
of which Alex Bloomenstiel of this
city is president, will open for bust
ness next Thursday, June Is, offer
ing as the initial performance, "Fas-
cination,' with popular Mae Muir
ray in the leading role, and Miss
lnez Isenberg and Edwin Jacob In
vocal selectios.
Invitations will be extended to all
of the film exchanges in New Or
lean; and all of the moving picture
houses in this section of the state,
to attend the opening performance:
The new playhouse is thoroughly
modern and up-to-date in every
respect, and represents the last word
IN moving pocture houses, and COM
pares favorably with the best in the
state. 1t is not only credit to the
company which built, it, but is also
an ornament to the town of Thibo-
daux, reputed for its splendid resi-
dences and business houses and
shows a mark of progress for the
Lafourche city. A house of that
kind will fill long felt want in
Thibodaux, whose people are very
fond OF amusements, and they Will
no doubt show their appreciation Of
the enterprise of the Grand Com
pany by giving unqualified support
and patronage to this new playhouse.
The Grand Theatre in this city,
which belongs to the same company,
was recently overhauled and re-
painted and decorated at consider
able expense, and converted into a
veritable palace of beauty and love
illness.
The company may justly feel
proud Of its two magnificent play
houses, which are fully equipped with
every appliance necessary for the !
comfort and convenience of their
patrons.

WORK PROVED EFFECTIVE.

When the water in the river was
at the highest stage ever reached in
history several weeks ago, and a
short piece of levee in Faubourg la
Pipe was considered somewhat weak,
the officials of the Lafourche Levee
Board put their dredgeboat Lafour-
che to work blanketing the embank-
ment on the water side. Earth was
taken from a great depth in the
river mad deposited against the
levee. Some of the wise ones who
always know better severely criti-
cized the members Of the board for
this work declaring that it was a
useless waste Of money as all of the
earth thus placed against the dyke
would slide back into deep water.
The levee officials paid no attention
to the criticisms and continued the
work, and in a very short while the
seepage in the levee at this point
which had become very considerable
was almost completely checked, and
the embankment made safe.
Now that the water in the river
has receded several feet, the wisdom
of the leva:s board men in this par
ticu1as 1piieTa Of work is clearly dem
onstrated. All, or practically all of
the earth thus deposited agaist the
levee is intact, and instead of slip
ping back into the river, this earth
seems to have firmly settled and
packed and where there was very
little or no batture before, there is
now a good foundation on which to
build big and strong batture in
the future, and perhaps effectually
dispense with the necessity of build
ing a new levee at this place The
levee board was right, and time has
indicated its action.
