JITNEY RIDES AN EDUCATION Sometime ago at the Orpheum theatre there was an act presented in which the actor tried to show the audience her feelings while taking her first ride in an automobile. The act, indeed, was laughable; to watch the woman's face showed the different excitements that apparently took place, especially when the automobile turned a corner, or if a child suddenly started from the pavement and ran in front of the moving machine. It gave every phase of excitement incident to one's first ride and as the Jitney business is giving thousands of people an opportunity of now riding in as fine cars as are owned by our rich men they also are getting experience and are beginning to see the injustice that has been heaped upon the automobile drivers heretofore because they did not know the many cares that a man is compelled to contend with in order to safely drive his car. Automobile owners and drivers in general should be glad that the Jitney business is giving an opportunity to all to ride in automobiles. One of the principal things that it will do will be to show hundreds of mothers the extreme carlessness not only of children, but also of grown up folks who will dart out from the sidewalk into the street without looking in either direction. Automobile owners have complained to the police hundreds of times on account of boys riding on the back end of an automobile, but the public is now given an opportunity to appreciate the seriousness of this and to see the violations at first hand. It is estimated by the United States Government that over ninety per cent of automobile accidents with pedestrians is due to the negligence on the part of the pedestrian. The Jitney business, while yet in its infancy has come to stay; it is solving daily the problem of quick transportation in a most comfortable way at a minimum charge. The sentiment of the public as a whole, is very much in favor of the Jitney busses. It is a relief to the "strap hinging" public and will avoid over-crowding of cars where one's feet be come cushions for the hob nails of the two hundred pounder. JITNEY FACTS American tendency to slag is not one generally to be commended, but the latest addition to the slang dictionary has a merit both in its patness and its promise tht is likely to give it a more lasting place in the lexicon e of American literature than most of its predecessors have attained. The words "jitney buss" seem to convey in their very sound that happy feeling of freedom that the movement itself seems to promise for the strap-hanging patrons of our municipal transportation systems. Jitney bus, as a term, is approximately three months old, but the method of carrying passengers for hire by motor car, which the term is meant to express, is much older. Recent agitation of motor vehicle pas senger transportation at low cost seems to have come from the Pacific coast, e where some few months ago, the streets of the major California cities s suddenly became flooded with small four and five passenger cars which would take passengers anywhere within the city for 5 cents, a sum slangily known in the west as a jitney. t Traction interests throughout the country freely predict bankruptcy ,. for the jitney bus companies and also that the operation of the cars will i- greatly increase the number of accidents. Neither one of these prophecies j, seems likely to be fulfilled. If we take the New York service as an in e stance, the mortality records refute the statement that busses are more dangerous than street cars. For the fiscal year, 1911, the latest figures ý. obtainable, the surface lines on Manhattan Island killed seventy persons t- and injured 11,500. The Fifth avenue bus lines, which equal in mileage two per cent of the mileage of the traction companies, killed none and injured thirty-two. The street cars injured one person in every 17,000 miles as against one person in every 120,000 miles for the buses; or about seven times as many per 10,000 miles. Similar figures on the London buses show them 50 per cent safer than the street cars. k SHIPS COMING BACK e Some years ago quite a calamity was caused in our district, the reason for which was that the ships of the Southerb Pacific Company had been taken away, and while this was a great loss to this district for some e time, we weathered the storm and those who lost employment found other f places and the residents we lost on account of the ships going away were d no doubt re-placed by others as our population during teat time has in creaced along the same proportion as New Orleans proper, but from the development going on now along the river front in Algiers it is very s, evident that the SHIPS ARE COMING BACK. le A stroll along the river front, which at one time was one of the d busiest places in th'e city, will again reveal from one to three ships lying there either loading or unloading. On Saturday the wharf in Algiers y presented quite a busy scene. The steamship El Rio was loading; the 11 steamship El Paso waj also loading, while the 8poterdlUjk was discharging e her cargo. It looks very good to see the return of this kind of business Sand from the amount of repairing that has been done during the past six months, we judge that this is a forerunner of what we might expect in the near future. The Union Freight Depot on Patterson street has been begun. This d will be used jointly by the Soathern Pacifitc Company and the Grand Isle SRailroad. We have been informed by some very good authority that the foundations alone for the new Southern Padcific shops which are to be built, will cost upwards of forty thousand dollars ($40,000.00). This was the Lg amount that was specified in the beginning that the entire shops would cost. r It will be seen from this that the Southern Pacific Company will more than " make good by giving to Algiers, shops the value of which will be consid erably in excess of what was originally planned and which were given as a guarantee in exchange for the privilege of closing some unused streets in the vicinity of the shops of- the company. These big shops will be used almost exclusively for the manufacture and repair of boilers and those persons well informed in connection with the Soathern Pacifice Company know positively that the machinery already designed for these big shops an will also add considerably to the amount to be expended, which was not r taken into consideration at the time the proposal was first made to the city. S The Southern Pacific Company, as we have often stated, is one of the Ly main stays of Algiers. We should do everything in our power to en rt courage the employment here of as many people as posiMble. A big cor poration has in a way a personality. It can if it will retaliate unjust " treatment just as well as it will reciprocate treatment that will encourage the expenditure of funds that will bring work to oar people. II Those in business in the vicinity of the shops of the Southern Pacific Company should bend every effort to have these shops working full force y and have our river front again lined with ships. This can be done by "[ proper co-operation. sence of the secretary, Mrs. Small, appointed secretary pro temrn. The minute of the last meeting reed and approved. Roll was called and seven esponded.

Meeting closed to meet with Mrs. Hubener, March 12, 1916. Mrs. Drumm, president; Mrs. Hubener, secretary; Mrs. Small, secretary pro tem. After the close of the meeting, our hostess, Mrs. Leith, served a most de licious and lavish luncheon. In the the goodness of her heart, she urged the members to repeated acceptance of her well known hospitality. Jus tice was done to this most toothsome repast. A good time was enjoyed by all and each one left with a full knowledge that it was good to have been there. Mission-Last Sunday, March 14, the long expected mission was formally opened in the Holy Name Church. The church was filled to overflowing. The center aisle was taken up by the societies of the parish. The A. O. H. C. K. of A., K. C'c., and H. N. G. C., occupied pews in the Epistle side, and the Children of Mary and L. C. B. A's., pews on the Gospel side. It was an impressive sight to see these societies rally at the call of their pastor, to enhance the solemnity of the occasion. Immediately after the Gospel of the Mass, the Rev. Pastor T. J. Larkin, S. M., came into the sanctuary pre ceded by the 30 altar boys, in beautiful purple cassacks, started for the rear of the church to officially meet and introduce the two missionaries, Fath ers Alphonsus and Ignatius. Father Alphonsus presented Pather Larkin with the large missionary cross and the procession returned to the altar. During the procession the altar boys showing the effects of their fine mus ical training sang "Come Holy Ghost." The scene in the sanctuary, it any body stopped to think of it, was in deed beautiful and impressive. With Father Larkin holding the large size crucifix, and the two missionaries at his side, and the altar boys in triple rows in the sanctuary sending forth their pure melodies, and the multitude of the faithful in prayerful attitude, formed a tableaux of sublime dramatic effect and religious inspiration. Cath olics of Algiers, if it were for this only you owe your venerable pastor a debt of undying gratitude. The cross was then placed on the platform erected for the preachers, and Father Ignatius formally opened the great mission. The people of the parish should be thankful for years to Rev. Father Larkin in securing two such priests for this work. Pather Alphonsus has already endeared himself to all, es pecially to the children by his kind ness and the simplicity with which he treats his subjects. His dignifled el oquence and appearance at once stamp him as a man of God, and his andieance is with him the minute he appears on the platform. Everybody is glad he is with us. The ehildrea have more than flled the ehurch to listen to him. He has given a series of instructive discourses o practical points of our rel llon and taking the masking oft the stations alone as a cri terion, it is evident that his lessons have gon to the uheas the ladies o the Isrsh Aa he a f l hre that th Idim have reslpsa heends MRiss Nellie enner fornmrig with the D.

We know that they will continue ana be rewarded for their trouble. To Father Ignatius has been allotted the heaviest work of the mission, and well is he able to do it. A physical giant, he has driven home the great truths of salvation with such force and conviction that he has brought tears to many eyes already as he thunders forth the solemn lesson of our religion with his beautiful and powerful ro tound voice, the audience feels that it is before a man of deep and sincere convictions. He has made his au dience realize the meaning of a soul and the importance of salvation. In his opening sermon he explained to the people the importance of a mis sion, and the special benefits to be derived from it. Sunday evening with "What will it profit a man to gain the world and lose his own soul," he easily convinced the people of the one importa thing for man in this life, namely, his eternal salvation. Mon day his subject was the "Ideal Wo man." By his sound advice he show ed the ladies present how they could and should become ideal women in practice, and not only in dreams. Tuesday tears and sobs were numer ous as the speaker in pathetic tones and words, placed before his audience the solemn lesson of death. So far the mission has been a great success in every respect. The men are anxious for their turn to come. It is to be hoped that they will show as much appreciation of this opportun ity as the women have. Come, men this is the chance of your lives. The third week will be for aonCatholics. All who wish to learn something about this wonderful Institution, the Catho lic Church, will be given an opportun Ity of receiving first hand and impar tial explanations of this great religion. If you wish to be fair, come and learn what she stands for and this from the months of authorative teach ers. If nothing but the spirit of fair play animated our non-Catholic friends, this alone should be enough to induce them to come and learn the claims of this old church. Continue to boost this grand mis sion and let the church continue to be filled as it has been up to date.

Our dear and faithful pastor of our church will be removed from among us, our worthy and es teemed friend, REV. A .J. SCHLIES SER; and whereas the short and in timate relation held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties in this church makes it eminently be fitting that we record our appreciation of him; therefore RESOLVED. That the wisdom and ability which he has exercised in the aid and upbuilding of our church by service, faitful discharge of his duties, has shared with us our Joys and sor rows and, by his congenial compan ionship lightened the burdens of ev eryday life, will be held in grateful remembrance. RESOLVED. That the removal of such a pastor from among our midst leaves a vacancy that will be deeply realised by all members and friends of our church and will prove a loss to the community. RESOLVED. That with a great loss to us all, we express our hope that it may be overruled for good by him who is about to enter a new field of duty as Chaplain of the United States Army. RESOLVED. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of our church, a copy printed in the local paper, and a copy given to our pastor. (Signed) FERDINAND G. ALBRECHT, Chairman. M. R.
