PARISH CHRISTMAS TREE A
GREAT SUCCESS.

The Parish Oh, istmas tree held
last Friday afternoon was great
success in every way and the COM
mittee in charge were much pleased
with the event. Two thousand four
hundred toys, dolls, furniture, games
ard such like things that delight
hlldrer, were & >tributed. In addi-
.on to the toys, 120 pounds of cam
~ we're given to the children to
heir greatest glee.
All the children in the parish,
white and black, in the public and
parochial schools between the ages
# 6 and II, were given a ticket en-
titling them to presents from the
Chamber of Commerce Santa Claus
The pupils of the Bayou Sale school
were unable to attend the celebra-
ton here, so their toys and candy
were sent to them to avoid disap-
pointing them.
In order to determine the public's
opinion of this plan and the way in
which it was carried out, the Cham
Der of Commerce requests that the
citizens express their approval or
of it by writing to the
Chamber Of Commerce, Box 95.

ty of assisting in the arrangement
of model kitchen, in the making
various kinds of hats, in managing

themselves of the weeks course of

A kitchen in the rough has been
set up for use as a laboratory in
which the women will work. They

VILLAGE Fair for Flancees.

The only town in the world that has
an annual "tiancee fair" is Ecaus-
slnes, Belgian hamlet famous for its
pretty girls. The village Is decorated
for the fair-just as it would be for a
lace fair, or a cattle fair, or any kind
of kermess. The girls themselves
put on their best dresses and wash
most cleanly-but undue rouging Is
prohibited. Dancing is the order of
the day, and the stealing of kisses
does not constitute a misdemeanor
A speech encouraging marriage and
decrying celibacy is made by the mis-
tress of the fair. Provision is made
for "courting' by the preparation Of
hooks and arbors near the fair
grounds, where couples may stroll not
too publicly.
Signs about the fair grounds sug-
gest to the youth OF Ecaussines:
"Loye, then marry" search, and
you will find" 'Tet us marry"

Ducks Claim to distinction.

The Sheldrake, unlike ducks in gem
eral, can walk on land with some
amount Of dignity, there being an en-
tire absence of anything like waddle.
But this is not its only claim to dis
tinction, for in nesting matters 1t
shows marked individuality.
It's favorite breeding place is in
some sandy spot near to- though not
always on, the seashore, and 1t has an
especial liking for rabbit-burrows
from which it evicts the rightful own
ers without so much as 'By your
leave" Once the owner is out. he is
never permitted to return while Mr..
and Mrs. Sheldrake require the house.
Mr.. Sheldrake, unlike most others
Of the duck tribe, takes a great inter-
est in the arranc .nent of the nest,
and bears consider bile share in look
ing after the little brood whep it ar
rives.

ROOF ADJUSTED TO WEATHER
Comparatively EasY 20 Regulate Tenn.
perature Of Houses Constructed
Of Blocks Of Ice.

Changing the thickness OF the roof
may not seem like particularly
handy way to keep the temperature
Of the house uniform. Certainly no
one would think Of doing It in that
way In this country. But in the Arctic
shaving off the roof is the regular
thing Mr. Vllhialmur Stefansson, the
polar explorer explains in his book.
"The Friendly Arctic" just how the
Eskimo does II.
II, says Mr.. Stefansson, the snow
house we were camping in was built
at so degrees below zero, each block
In the wall was then of that temper
allure and contained what we may I'M
scientifically speak Of as a great deal
of latent cold" To neutralize the
cold it was necessary to keep the in
side of the house for considerable
time at temperature Of perhaps 60
degrees f. Snow Is so nearly non
conductor of heat that, once the
latent coldp had been neutralized, the
heat Of our bodies kept the tempera-
ture well above the freezing point
even when the hole In the roof was
open for ventilation But If the wealth
er became little warmer than it was
when we made camp. the heat of our
bodies or the heat from the fire would
raise the temperature too high, and
the roof would begin to melt, Then
we sent man out with a knife to
shave 1t anywhere from four to two
inches thinner so that the cold from
outside would penetrate the snow
blocks and stop the thawing.
If the next day the weather turned
cold again, hoarfrost would form on
the roof and drop as snowflakes on
the bed. We would know then that
the roof was too thin and send man
out to blanket 1t with soft snow.

FIRST ELECTRIC PLANT -
OPENED FORTY YEARS AGO

The fortieth anniversary Of the be
ginning of central station electrical
service in the world will be cele
brated in New York City on Sep
TENDER IL.
Operation of the Pearl street sta
tion, the first central generating
plant, actually began at o'clock or
the afternoon of September 4, 1882
but as the date falls on Labor Day
this year, when other holiday activi.
ties were taking place, it was de-
cided to celebrate the anniversary
week later.
Thomas A. Edison and other mer
who were associated with him in the
early development Of the electrical
industry will be present. A feature
of the celebration will be an exhibit
of Edison apparatus, model, lamps
and photographs, which will depict
the growth of the electric light and
power industry in the last forty years
At the anniversary dinner, at which
Mr.. Edison will be the honored guest
the principal speaker will be Samuel
insult, president of the Common
wealth Edison Company, Chicago,
who started his career as Mr.. Edi-
sons secretary. Mr.. insult was pres
ent at the opening of the famous
Pearl street station. He is now head
of the largest electric central station
company in the world.
The opening of the Pearl street
station followed three years after the
invention of the electric light by
Edison on October q, 1879. On that
date-only 43 years ago-Edison,
after persistent labor, succeeded in
carbonizing a piece of cotton sewing
thread bent into a loop of horseshoe
shape. This he sealed into a glass
bulb, which had been exhausted"
until a very high vacuum was pro-
duced. For 40 hours after the circuit
was closed the brightly incandeseent
filament remained intact.
Edison, however, was not satisfied
with this form Of filament and he
began to carbonize everything in ma
ture he could think of, searching for
a material that, when carbonized,
would be uniform and homogeneous.
Looking about his laboratory one day
he saw an ordinary palm leaf fan
upon a table. After study of the
texture of the binding, he asked one
of his assistants to carbonize fila
ments made from the rim.
He was so impressed with the re-
suit of this experiment that he sent
men all over the world to secure speci-
mems of bamboo. A certain variety
Of Japanese bamboo was finally
adopted, and for nearly nine years
all Edison lamps had bamboo fila
ments.
From single electric light plant 40
years ago, the industry has grown
until today there are $500 plants
serving 10,375,000 customers in a.
467 cities and smaller communities Of
the country. These companies have
100000 employees and 100000 stock
holders. Although there are 1892
municipality-owned plants in the
country, they furnish only three per
cent. of the total electrical energy
produced in the country.

WORLD WAR VETERANS
MEET IN NEW ORLEANS

The life of the World war fighte
on land and sea and in the air will

plans of the convention entertainment
committee.

French village scenes to great nava
and aerial displays viii be arranged

vention nights the planes will fly

flares and smoke bombs as a reminder
Of the air raids made by German
planes over the American trenches
and billets.
The "pike" at the famous Spanish
Fort amusement park is to be dressed
in Mardi Gras garb. The dance pa
vilion, redecorated for the week after
the fashion Of Creole days, will vary
its modern dance program with ex-
hibition dances of the minuet and
Virginia reel. Music will be provided
by the New Orleans Marine Corps
Band. An elaborate display Of fire
works will be one of the features at
the park. A number Of pieces will be
