Who Is The prettiest
Girl In AIgiers?

This question is one that has been
discussed long and often. Just who
Is Algiers' prettiest girl is not known,
but the Algerines will have an oppor-
tunity to find out when the DruidS
name the winner of their beauty con-
test at their Jack o. Lantern festival
on Sunday, October 1.
Ernest c. Hunt. playground ath-
letic director, has been placed in
charge of this and other contests and
games to be staged on that day.
The beauty contest should arouse
quite a lot of interest in Algiers,"
Algiers is full of pretty girls, and
| really think that if percentage
/ check was made on the number or
pretty girls here it would stand out
above any other place in the country,
not even barring those northern Ala
bama towns famed for their beau
ties. With this point to our advan-
tage the judges, no doubt, will have
their hands full when the time comes
to award the prize to the prettiest
girl. The rules of this contest are
simple. Just send your name and ad-
dress to me in care of Albert Prados
at 900 Verret street no later than
Sept. 80. If possible, send a photo.
This will give the judges an idea OF
what they are to expect, and besides
it might help you. A handsome prize
has been selected, but the Druids are
keeping its nature a secret until the
night of the award. This is the first
contest OF this kind known in Algiers
and some girl will have the oppor-
tunity of making a name for herself
as a beauty.
Mr.. Hunt also announced that he
, has arranged a freckle contest for
those who might envy the beauties.
The rules for this contest are the
same as those which govern the
beauty contest, except that it is open
to both boys and girls. Contestants
must mail their names and addresses
: to Mr. Hunt as in the beauty contest,
: and must say that they wish to enter
- the freckle contest.
Besides these contests there will
be games of all kinds. starting at
2 p. m, at the Druids' Palm Garden
A donkey party, an apple duckine
1t contest, a shoe race, two boxing ex
Id hibitions, clown contest (prize TO
Id the best clown and for the best cos
n. tunnel, sack races and a cowboy rae
ed will be some Of the amusements al
he ranged. Prizes will be awarded tn
winners in each event.
Of. And to make the festival all tha
,Ie such an event should be, everyone
IN asked to come masked. In othe
ee words, the Jack O. Lantern will b
er a masquerade.
10 Two bands of music will be o
or hand to keep things humming. FC
he this occasion the Palm Garden wi
,ct have a different plan Of illumination
ge This will be kept a secret, as tn
m. Jack o. Lantern is intended to be
by surprise to everyone.
er The doors will open at p. m, an
all the kids in town are expected I
of be on hand to take part in the variou
Is. games.

AIgiers ViaduCt Closed
To Traffic

The Newton street viaduct has
been found to be in such a dilapi-
dated condition that it is no longer
safe for vehicle and street car traffic,
according to Superintendent Burgis
of the South New Orleans Light and
Traction Company. The viaduct has
been closed and barricaded, and the
cars crossing it re-routed.
Superintendent Burgis advised Cap
tain James Dimitry of the Eighth
Precinct in Algiers of his opinion of
the viaduct, and the latter took the
necessary steps to have the structure
closed. Assistant Fire Chief LafouS
also was notified and has issued
orders that fire apparatus avoid the
! viaduct.
The street cars which have beer
crossing the viaduct will run t
Elmira street and discharge thei
passengers there. Passengers will
cross the viaduct on foot and will
be picked up at the Whitney stree
end by cars operating on a switch
back on Whitney street, which viii
carry them to their destination with
out payment of further fare.
Engineers will investigate the con
dition of the structure and will pre-
pare a report on the steps necessar,
! to make it safe, it was said.
