GOOD TIME IN STORE FOR PALM
AFESTA QUEEN FROM
THIS COUNTY.

The club women of Columbia have
Just organized to act as hCstesses t.
the Queen candidates, and are making
every preparation to give them the
best time possible. And, Of course
the men are making their own prep
arations too. We have been asked
to keep the many good things il
store for the young ladies dark
secret for while longer So their
surprise may be complete.
The Palmafesta association has re-
teivei numbers of letters from former
Queen candidates expressing their un-
usual pleasure last year and they are
unanimous in saying, "It was the
best time l ever had" Queen candi-
dates Lave the best seats already re-
served for them ct every stage per-
formance at Palmafesta, They will
see the spectacular fireworks display,
the gorgeous exhibit of wearing ap-
parel at the style show, will hear the
beautiful music of bands and opera
star now being engaged by the chair
man Of the entertainment committee,
Mr.. L. l.. Propst, who is in New York
with the determination to secure the
best star irrespective of the expense
or trouble. There will be dinners,
dances, balls and-what will be the
most beautiful Of all events-the
Queens coronation will be enacted by
the Queens themselves, arrayed in the
court finery which characterized the
coronation of the Queen of England
In the days of chivalry and knight
Errants.
Do the girls of South Carolina want
t. be at Palmafesta? Interest is
running hlgn all over the state. Girls
want to enjoy this good time-and
there is the $500 diamond ring await
ing the fortunate girl to be chosen
Queen of Palmafesta. Last year the
contest was close. Up to the very
last minute dozen or more Of the
young ladies had practically the same
number of votes. Who knows but
what this county will be the honored
one and our candidate bring back the
distinction of being Queen Of 1922

18th when Palmafesta starts and will
lie the guests Of Palmafesta Until
Saturday the 22nd of April when 1922
Palmafesta will close. All expenses
will be paid by Palmafesta and all
the young lady must do to win the
distinction Of being Palmafesta Queen
Ia to be elected in her own county
pnd 20 to Columbia and compete with
the other young ladies assembled.
The candidates do nothing in Colum-

state and the county Queens will not
only have their pictures in this beau

Growth of the Auto Industry.

One person out Of every ten in the
United States now owns a motor We
hlcle-a grand total of approximate
ly 10,5OO,0OO passenger cars and
trucks.
This staggering total represents the
official registration of the various
states on December 81, 1921 and is
an increase of 1.2O4.748 over 1920
when 9,295,253 cars and trucks were
registered, according to reports.
This remarkable gain during the
past year is considered remarkable
by officials of the automotive indus
try and surpassed by wide margin
their most optimistic predictions at
the start of last year.
In some states the gain was as
much as 35 per cent and ten states
reported an increase of more than
~ per cent. The leaders in this
group were southern states-West
Virginia, Florida and New Mexico.
Ohio with gain of rs per cent led
the industrial states.
The race between Ohio and New
York for supremacy became even
more heated than ever before, but
again turned out in favor Of New
York by a scant margin on some
1900 cars and trucks. At the same
rate of increase Ohio will overtake
New York before spring. The figures
are: New York, 755,OOO; Ohio 744,-
900.
Although New York leeds in total
motor vehicle registrations, Ohio pos
sesses more passenger cars. The
Buckeye state boasts 650,000 auto
mobiles against 5s1, ,915 for the En-
pire state. New York's truck regis
tration is more than twice that of
Ohio's.
Among the twelve leaders several
states crawled up notch or so.
Pennsylvania, maintain third place,
while California replaced Illinois in
fourth place-the two states exchang-
ing places. Michigan stepped up the
ladder from eighth to sixth place,
ortdistancing Iowa and Texas. Iowa
slipped two pegs-into eighth place
while Texas remains in seventh posi-
ton.
Indiana held ninth place, while
Massachusetts, moved up from eleven
th to tenth. Missouri and Wisconsin
climbed notch to eleventh and twelf-
tn position, respectively, while Min
nesota slipped back from tenth to
thirteenth place.
Over half the cars and trucks Of
the country are registered in nine
states, which is more than on the
entire continent of Europe. These
states are: New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, California, Illinois, Miehi-
gan, Texas, Iowa and Indiana. Their
total 100000.
Comparison Of the 1921 registra-
ton figures with the 1920 census
tabulation shows that there is now
one motor vehicle for every 10 per-
sens as compared with one for every
112 persons in 1920 and one for every
Ia persons in 1919.
These facts constitute the best OBJ
tsinable proof that the automobile
industry is continuing in its remark
able era of expansion. Furthermore
they emphasize by adverse business
conditions, a decided gain was made
thereby presenting additional evi-
dence that automobiles are purchased

State Federation is in touch with
them and is also offering assistance
IN the organization of many others.
For the benefit Of new clubs a great
deal of work is going forward in
planning organization and work is 90
ing forward, though not yet complete,
in mapping out programs for study.
1t is hoped that before the end of the
year the Federation will have some
definite help to give to every newly
organized club, in the line of civic
study, school problems, literary pro-
grams or programs for music clubs.
Material already on hand for dis
trlbution includes Suggestions for
Parent-Teacher Work, Suggested Top
les for Discussion at Parent Teacher
Meetings, Suggestions for Inexperi-
enced Officers, An Outline for Con-
stitution for Women's Clubs and a
Model Constitution for Parent Teach
er Associations. In preparation is
a short literary course for Rural
Clubs and Requisites for the Success
of Parent Teacher Clubs.
This extension of club influence
will form the chief subject for dis
cussion at the District Conventions of
the federation this spring. The first
CT these will be the Sixth District
meeting in Hammond, March Thrift
eth and thirty-first. The Third Dis
trict will hold its meeting at Lafay-
cite, April fourth and fifth, and the
Seventh District at Lake Charles
April sixth and seventh. Programs
for these meetings are we'll under way
and promise to be very interesting.
The Eighth District meets in Alex
andria on April fourth and the dates
for the Fourth and Fifth District
meetings will follow shortly after
these. District Presidents will be
elected in thf Third, Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth and Eighth Districts but all of
the Presidents now serving are eligi-
Bile to reelection except Mrs. Ed
wards Of the Third District, who has
served for four years. Mrs. Reed ex-
poets to attend all of these meetings
except that of the Eighth District
which conflicts with the" Third.

COMPARE THESE PRICES WITH
THOSE OF TO-DAY,

During the week ending January
10Th, 1883 the following real estate
transfers were recorded in the books
of the Recorder of this parish:
During that week the late C. D.
Favrot purchased eight lots of ground
each 60 by 1928 feet in Hickey, Dun
can and Mather subdivisions in the
square opposite to and south of the
Community Club house for which he
paid $500 for the eight.
At the same time Andrew Jackson
purchased 21 lots in same subdivision
paying $22O for the entire number or
ten dollars per lot. These are those
opposite the high school and beyond
On the south side of Florida street.
The above were purchased at a sale
made of property of contemplated
railroad to connect with the Illinois
Central at Ponchatula but the con-
struction Of which was interrupted by
the Civil War and the project aband-
oned.
Other sales recorded during the
week above mentioned were:
Lot No. Z, square No. 8, Hickey,
Duncan and Mather subdivision was
sold by j. W. Burgess to E. W. Will
lis and J. E. Blouin. Price $50.
Also sale by C. D. Favrot to W.
G. Maddox, lot No. 13, square 2, sub
urb Young. Price 500. This lot is
located on America street just be-
yond East Boulevard.
So much for urban property. Now
let us note values of farm lands:
On the 10Th of January, 1883 vas
recorded a sale of 40 acres Of land
on the Plank Road six miles from the
city of Baton Rouge for which Mrs.
B. X. Avery received from John Cock
erham the sum of 5000, that is five
dollars per acre.
On the same date E. N. Allen sold
to J. Leblanc 100 acres of land on
Jones Greek for 5000.
From the above it is plain that con-
siderable advance has been made in
city and country real estate since the
advent of railroads and the plant Of
the Standard Oil Company.

they did not realize that EQUAL
RIGHTS would endanger, if not des.
troy, all SPECIAL PRIVILEGES that
the law now confers upon women be-
cause of their sex, and that it would
imperil all protective legislation for
working women. Prof. Ernest Freund,
Professor of Jurisprudence and Public
Law Of the University of Chicago. in
discussing the proposed goth Amend
ment in the December Number of the
American Bar Association Journal,
writes as follows: The sweeping
character of the provision has created
alarm among the friends of women
workers who are justly apprehensive
that the adoption of the Amendment
would wipe out laws concerning hours
of labor, underground labor, minimum
wage laws and all other kinds of
protective social legislation for wom-
en- with the exception of laws safe
guarding maternity. There are FEM
inists masculine enough to be pre-
pared to surrender special privileges
at the price of getting rid of disabili-
ties, but they are probably in the
minority Numbers of eminent law
yers throughout the United States
are attacking the Amendment upon
the same ground as does Professor
Freund. In view of these facts, it
is no wonder that Mr.. Samuel Com
pers, National head of the Federation
of Labor, has denounced the Woman's
Party measures through the labor
journals, and has called upon the local
unions throughout the country to op-
pose them vigorously. Nor is it dif-
ficult to understand why the Trades
Union women fatty turned down this
question of equal rights when it was
submitted to them, and that it suffer-
ed like fate from the National Con-
sumer's League an organization which
has been instrumental in obtaining
the passage in many states Of much
helpful legislation for women. The
League Of Women Voters, through it's
national president, Mrs. Maud Woods
Park, has also advised against the
proposed goth Amendment, taking the
position that the legislature is the
proper place for the adjustment of
all civil reforms. Miss Pollitzer, Ma
tional Secretary of the Woman's Par
ty, who boasts that she is the proud
possessor Of three stars awarded her
by the militant suffragists, stated at
the recent extra session of our Legis-
lature that certain legal lights
of the past had set the seal
of their approval upon the blank
ct bill of rights which she, an
outsider, was berating our Legis-
lature for having rejected. It
is my opinion that all Of the legal
rights do not shine in the eastern
n
armament and that Louisianians pre-
fer to leave to their own lawmakers
matters of purely state character. As
We are the only state in the Union
governed by the Civil Code, it stands
to reason that Louisiana lawyers are
more competent to interpret the Code
and what effect the passake of the
Woman's Party measures would have
upon it than are jurists of the COM
mon law states.
II have personally interviewed a
number of our ablest lawyers and can
say with absolute truthfulness that
I have yet to find one who favors
the bills under discussion. Two of
these gentlemen who are recognized
throughout the state as eminent legal
authorities declare that, in their opin.

LOOKING BACKWARD
ON W0MEN'S WORK

At one time within the men,
ory of many persons, men and women,
sentiment was such that the field of
female operation was confined to care
'of children and household affairs;
their sphere Of activity was within
home boundaries. At that no distant
past none dreamed that the time would
come when daughters Of the South
would be found in every commercial,
financial and industrial activity. The
day is not so far back when not a
single female was employed in bank,
office or store, Notwithstanding heads
Of families found it burden to sup
port their dear ones, owing to the
meagre earnings of the bread winner.
Baton Rouge had not yet fully recov-
cred from the effects of the Civil
war and it was severe struggle for
many to support families most of
whom had once been surrounded not
only by comforts, but luxuries as well.
But while wage earners were poorly
paid, quite a number of mercantile
firms were prospering through trade
of farmers and planters, the latter
fortunately realizing handsomely
through large crops and fair prices
and as merchants prospered and grew
rich they turned their attention to
the betterment of less fortunate
neighbors and to the community gen.
orally.
After more or less agitation by a
few progressives, it was decided that
the only way to lessen the burden of
heads Of large families with grown
young women was to create in the
latter a spirit of self-reliance and in
dependence; to break up the prevail
ing belief among Southerners that
women were incapacitated by nature
birth and breeding for any but home
duties; that employment of females
in salaried positions was abhorent to
the average Louisianian; foreign to
the ideals, sentiment and teaching Of
generations.
Notwithstanding, the question was
put squarely before the young ladies
themselves, and most nobly did they
respond as our women have done
whenever called upon in war or peace.
The first ladies to appear in this city
was at Rosenield's and in the office
of the Weekly Truth, but once the ice
of custom was broken, ladies applied
for positions in every large dry goods
establishment and were soon to be
seen behind counters Of Farrnbacher
and Raymond as we'll as Rosen6eld's.
From the small beginning of one or
two lady employees, look where you
will today, and you will find ladies
in every trade, profession and political
positions. If men were as energetic,
industrious and faithful the cry of
| hard times would be heard no more
lin the land. These remarks were
suggested by a perusal of copy Of
the Weekly Truth which had the fol-
lowing to say on the subject of female
employment:
