DRESSING UP JUST ENOUGH

Men logical? Mae Murray wonders.
She had just come across two items
in the newspapers relating to recent
masculine rulings on women's dress.
Il wonder how women please men
as often as they do" said the Metro
star. Here in one column is a story
about forbidding showing kneecaps at
the bathing beaches. In the next is
one about some institution ruling
against the girls wearing boudoir caps
outside their rooms. Dressing up just
enough is beginning TO require an al
most inhuman nicely of judgment. If
we're o immodest for wearing to lit
tie, We err by wearing too much"

THE MASQUERADER."
Splendid Movie Picture to Be Shown
at the Grand Next Tuesday.

"The Masquerader" is the title o:
the superb movie piture which will b.
featured at the Grand Theatre, mex
Tuesday.
The Baltimore Sun, in recen
issue, contains the following highl,
| fiattering mention of this splendit
play:
Guy Bates Post has been eminent
| ly successful in transferring to the
screen his characterization of his dua
role in The Masquerader,' in which
play he won renoWn through perform
ances covering more than six wears
Furthermore, the production of thu
film version, which is on view this week
at the Rivoli Theatre is excellent
throughout and may be ranked among
the finest screen dramas in a lone
while.
The Masquerader,' it will be re-
called, first came to light as popular
novel from the pen of Katherine
Cecil Thurston more than a decade
ago. Subsequently it was dramatizeG
by John Hunear Booth, and it was
through his impersonation of. John
Chilcote and his double, John Loder
that Mr.. Post vitalized the story and
made these characters an outstanding
achievement on the speaking stage
both in this country and abroad.
"ln its film form the original story
has been followed closely, with a
slight change in the date Of the piece
and the introduction of a few inevi.
table concluding movie touches that
did not appear in the stage version.
"This masquerade of the ambi-
tious young newspaper writer (Loder)
in the guise of the great Chilcote,
member of the British House OF
Lords, deserves rank as a classic
certainly Mr.. Posts stage perform
ance established that, and doubtless
there will be few persons to contend
that he has not made of this also a
screen classic-the sort of thing that
George Arliss and one or two others
have done in putting their histrionic
triumphs into picture form.
'Mr. Posts portrayal dominates the
film, and yet it has been set in an ad-
mirable frame. His differentiation of
the two characteristic gesture and
mood as we'll as in mere outward ap-
pearance-is truly remarkable, stand
ing out IN clear-cut lines under a
closer scrutiny than was possible in
the case of the spoken play.
'The supporting cast is notably
good-almost as free from typical
movie stuff" as Post himself. Ed
ward Kimball is excellent as the faith
full servant, Brock; Barbara Tenant
handles her role of Robbins with dis
tinction, while Marcia Manon and
Ruth Sinclair show up we'll as Lady
Astrupp and Eva Chilcote, respective
ly.
"This film, incidentally, marks the
debut of Richard Walton Tully as a
motion picture producer. May he
send US other pcs rt3s as good as this
one"

TARIFF BILL PASSED.
First Reublican Measure in Ten Years
will Yied $4oO, ,OOO,O 900 Yearly.

The Republican protective tariff
measure, which has been under con
sideration and discussion by congress
for several months, was finally passed
early this week, and was sent to the
president for his signature.
This is the first Republican tariff
measure in ten years. Treasury ex-
perts figure that the new act will
yield about $400,0O0,OOO a year in
revenue, one-half of which they say
will come from the following four
sources: Sugar, $87,0OO,0OO; raw
wool, $4,000, 200; tobacco, $35, 5,OOO,-
600 and laces and embroideries, $15,-
100000
The bill marks distinct departure
IN American tariff making, in this,
that it gives the president authority
over taxes at the customhouses. On
investigation he may increase or de-
crease any rate in the bill by SO per
cent, should that be necessary to
equalize the difference, based on the
cost of production.
John T. Adams, chairman of the
Republican national committee, said
that the enactment of the bill marks
the beginning of another era of good
times in the United States. "It guar
artees to employer and employe alike
security from destructive competi-
tion,' he said. "It affords protection
to all factions Of the country and all
classes of producers. 1t has been cor
rectly styled an all-American protec-
tive tariff"

PRESIDENT VETOES BONUS.
Favors Purpose Of Bill But Objects
to Burden on Taxpayers.

In very lengthy message to con-
gress, in which he gave full expression
of his views on the subject, President
Harding last Tuesday vetoed the SOL
diers bonus bill which had been passed
bv both houses of the national as
sembly. The president declared that
while he was in accord with the aVoW-
ed purpose of the measure he did not
subcribe to its provisions.
Mr.. Harding's veto message reads
in part as follows:
with the avowed purpose of the
bill to give expression of a nations
gratitude to those who served in its
defense in the world war, | am in
accord, but to its provisions | do not
subscribe The United States never
will cease to be grateful; it cannot
and never will cease giving expression
to that gratitude.
"In legislating for what is called
adjusted compensation. Congress
failed, first of ali, TO provide the
revenue from which the bestowals
is to be paid. Moreover, it estab-
fishes the very dangerous precedent
Of creating treasury covenant to
pay, which puts a burden, variously
estimated between $4,000, 100000 and
$5,000,0O0,0O0 upon the American
people, not to dischage an obligation,
which the government always must
pay, but to bestoW bonus which the
soldiers themselves while serving in
the world war did not expect"
Among other reasons given for the
veto Mr.. Harding points out congress
failed to provide means of financing
the proposition That inevitably the
bonus would mean increased taxation
That the legislation would wipe out
everything thus far accomplished to
areduce government expenditures
wherever possible. That a peace bes-
towal on the ex-service men was a
pewersion of public funds. That the
bonus would not diminish the latter
obligation in the way of pensions to
the world war veterans. Asserting
that this obligation would cost more
billions then he ventured to suggest,
the president declared that a rational
financial policy today is necessary to
make the nation ready for the expen-
ditures which is certain to be requir-
ed IN the coming years. He also call
cd attention to the sums now being
expended for the care of the diseased
disabled or dependent and asserted
that the total cost would probably ex-
ceed 5000, 100000.

tertainment of Soldier Boys.

| What promises to be the biggest
and most successful day of the South
Louisiana Fair, will be Legion Day,
Sunday, October Is, the closing day Of
the big event, when a vast number
of ex-soldiers Of the world war from
all parts of the state will come to
Donaldsonville. There will be mon
ster parade in which local and visit
| ing veterans of the war and 500 ma
rines from the United States cruiser
! Birmingham will take part. The Biz:

It will be the first in which fully uni
formed and equipped marines from
a United States warship take part,
since the visit of the battleship Mis-
sissipp in May, 1908, when the parade
and drill of a large detachment of
its marines attracted SO much atten-
ton along the streets of the city.
The cruiser Birmingham will an
chor in front of the city and will
be open to visitors, while the sea-
planes will give flying exhibits each
day.

RESULTS.

Good morning Mr.. Editor,
How are you today?
| hope you are not like me,
With nothing much to say.
In regards to "a Dream,'
| Reality" and "Terms,"
| have made practically no collections
SO have no money to burn.
! When man owes you
He not only refuses to pay,
But does not employ YOU
| Any more from day to day.
He passes by you,
Not even with smile.
Which means your bill
| Will not be paid for a while.
[ do not mean to say.
That all are like this,
Then the world would be
Nothing but mist.
We find men of refinement
| The nobler type of walkers;
The ones who do not paw
| Are always the hardest knockers.
When their animals
Then get sick,
They pass you by and
| Call on old man Flick.
He does what he can,
What he heard and saw,
Even though he is
Practicing against the law.
Judges best COW Annie
Took sick. He says to Judge,
| Of course I am no doctor,
That cow has lost her cud.
Flick calls for pork and bacon
With strands of hay to twist,
And makes a cud for Annie
AS big as your fist.
Rolling up his shirt sleeves,
While the Judge holds his coat,
He takes the cud and rams it
| Way down in Annie's throat.
Results? [ should say
There is Annie by the fence
Chewing the cud old Flick gave her
She has been chewing it ever since
According to this man
Must not get in despair
For the world I hope is not,
Like this everywhere.

Burnside Notes and Leaks.
By Henry C. Braud

The weather forecaster predicted
rain this week. Evidently he didn't
| forecast for this section. I hope Doc
Cline will continue OF make such {,
guess when we need dry weather.
The public school opened here last
Monday with about thirty-two pu-
pills enrolled. Many pupils promoted
to the fifth grade went to Donaldson
vile. This will relieve the conges-
ton that prevailed last session.
A mammoth levee was completed
this week in front of Marchand set
tlement and Riverton plantation.
Levees of this size built from now on
will solve the question of whether we
need spillways for the protection and
safety of the. property that the river
drains from twenty-nine states.
On dit, that at the last meeting
Of the police jury there was a move
ment on foot to ask the distributors
Of the public funds to appropriate out
of the surplus set aside for charitable
purposes, a small amount, say 5000
bucks for the board of health to es-
tablish clinic for the poor and de-
serving. This matter was discussed
informally by members of the jury
and those mostly interested in the
philanthropic move, but the matter
did not reach the jury that was about
to assemble. Cause for congratula-
ton Of the parish solons!
Let US give praise to whom it is due,
President Harding in vetoing the bo
nus bill is entitled to full measure.
To pay the gallant soldiers of the
recent war for their patriotism in
rushing (?) to Europe to save the
French, English and italians cousins
from annihilation (Which was done)
would be to establish precedent for
the world. President Harding is not
willing to incur the debt; too honest
to offer the bribe and unwilling for
his party to be loaded with gold
brick. Honor to him!
There was one requirement made
by the saloonist to the candidates Of
fering to run for sheriff in the good
old liberty days, before the war, and
that is, will you, if elected, enforce
all the laws, including the Sunday
law? So help you God. | do not
know that the question was ever put
to any candidate in this parish, but
I do know that every one elected in
the past thirty-fouryears never did
enforce the unpopular Sunday law.
Now that the Eighteenth Amendment
has put the saloons out of business
forever, it will not be necessary to
exact a pledge from candidates run
ing for sheriff to wink at the non-ob-
servance of the liquor laws, Sundays
or any other. The United States
government has dry law agents to do
the work. But conditions seem
bright for the vets Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes gives notice that
the lid is to be taken off whiskey for
use of sick persons and "business ne
cessity.'' The retail and wholesale
drugstores are to distribute the medi-
cine. We can prepare to force an
epidemic Of flu, pneumonia, lung,
nervous. kidney and all kinds of di-
seases of men and women. It will be
so CONNIE il faut, and safer, to procure
your medicine from a druggist than
from a saloonist. We live in an age
of moral and educational blessing.

price of 83 cents this would indicate
a value of $25,709,0OO, compared
with $22,764,OO in 1921. The cot

Speedy Justice.

Unusual speed was shown in met.
ing out justice to malefactors in the
district court of St. John parish last
last week. These white young men
were arrested for the theft of goods
from Texas and Pacific train neal

Henry Rouprich and Walter Cox were
indicted by the grand jury at 12
O'Clock noon. At 2 p. m. they plead
ed guilty before Judge H. N. Gautier
who sentenced them to five years
each in the penitentiary. Officers left
with them at 8 o'clock for Baton
Rouge and at o'clock federal officers
from New Orleans arrived at Edgard
to serve papers for violation of the
injunction granted the Texas and Pac-

Area Pian of Tuberculosis Eradica
ton Increases.

Inc plan for eradicating tubercu-
losls in cattle from entire areas, such
as counties, is daily growing in popu-
iarlty according to reports coming to
the United States Department of
agriculture. The idea has taken
hold in Michigan and is spreading
rapidly. Already five counties have
been freed of the plague, and reports
from the inspector in charge for the
government show that the boards
OF supervisors have appropriated
money. and made provision for CO.
operating with state and federal
forces. When one country joins the
ranks for eradication it's action slim
ulates others to follow. The prospect
for ultimately ridding the country
of the disease never looked so promis-
ing as at present, say those in charge.

TO RECLAIM SOUTHERN LANDS
Senator Ransdell Makes Plea for Fed
eral Cooperative Bill.

1t is reported from Washington
that the defeat of the McNary plan
for federal cooperative reclamation
as result of the soldier bonus bill,
does not mean the abandonment rf
the project. Discussions in the sem
ate indicate that many of the sena-
tors favor the measure. 1t extends
to the south and to other sections as
well because of the great advantage
which have come to the west as
result of the reclamation of arid lands.
II an address urging the adontion OF
the amendment the senator pointed
out that tiree-ffths of the wet lands
of the nation are in the south. In
the nation as a whole he said there
are 94,000,000 acres of land which
must be drained before they can be
utilized for agricultural purposes. Of
that amount 56,000,000 are in the
south. Louisiana would benefit by
this legislation since one third of it's
entire area of 10,000,O0O acres con-
sist of wet lands. Senator Ransdell
pointed out that irrigation and drain
age are simply different methods of
reclaiming lands. He pointed out
the success achieved in the reclama-
ton of arid lands in the west, and
suggested that this is the proper time
to extend the plan which. has proven
so successful in the west to those
areas comprised of wet lands.

Entombed Miners Dead.

After twenty-five days of hard
work, the rescue parties succeeded in
reaching the AT miners who for that
number of days were entombed 1900
feet below the surface, in the Argo-
naut gold mine at Jackson, Cal. All
were found dead. The miners, while
at work, were cut off by fire which
occurred in an underground chamber
between them and the surface and
cut off exit by way of the only shaft
in the mine. They are believed to
have been overcome by the poisonous
gases caused by the fire. They were
reached by crew of experts who
drilled through solid rock from a
shaft leading to another mine in the
vicinity.

1t is said that users of tobacco
paid about 9 per cent of the $3,197,-
100000 in internal revenue received
by the government in the fiscal year
1922. Income and profit taxes paid
IS per cent of the total. From to-.
bacco and it's manufactures the gov
ernment received $270,759,0O0, sta
tistics show. This was an increase
of $15,500,00O over the amount col
lected by the government from the
same source in 1921. The increase
was almost wholly from taxes on Gig
arettes, which totalled $3.50, 900.
