Most of us have heard how the
Belgium children are suffering as
their country is being devastated.
Most of us have expressed our de
sire to help. Now, there is a way
in which you can help the Belginas
by becoming a member of the circle n
known as "Les Abeilles," (The Bees) 0
a Junior League, for the aid of "Des- a
titute Children of Belgium." 0
The duag are very pmall-'only ti
five cents a month. Any member i,
can take out one or more member- b
ships. There are no meetings to tl
attend .... Just pay the dues. The n
money is sent to Mr. Leon de Waele, b
formerly Belgium Consul to New a
Orleans and Mr. de Waele sends the g
fund direct to Her Majesty, the t
Queen of Belgium.

MISS R[liTLOS IS
MOVIE IISPECTOR
Miss Roseada Reynolds, eldest
daughter of the late Jas. W. Rey
nolds has been appointed inspector 01
of moving picture theatres and has
already entered upon the discharge m
of her duties. p
Miss Reynolds bears the distinc- d
tion of being New Orleans' first mov- tl
ing picture inspector. That has
been an office which, it was felt,
this city needed. The selection was
made Saturday, and Monday Miss
Reynolds received her commission
and entered upon her duties at once.
She will be carried on the rolls of ,
tke police department as matron.
The recent thirty-three &nd one- F
ta; per .eut irrdtae in the sal
aries of all members of the police de
partment will bring her salary up h
to $80 per month. r
There will be nothing spectacular W
in Miss Reynolds' performance of
her duties. She merely will go
quietly into picture shows--one after a
another-and if she finds anything 3
objectionable in a picture, will re
port the matter to Superinetndent
Mooney, who will issue orders for
the manager of the theater in which i
such a picture is' being shown, to
didtontinue it. If that is not done.
an affidavit will follow.

NIGHTLY SESSIONS. 1

fdi 'quite at home.' The first thing
they said was, "Boys rush a telegram
home." Certainly these women are
doing re noble .work.
We are now comfortably stationed
on a receiving ship at Brooklyn. I
am sitting on my bed to write this.
Yes, a real bed, the first I have slept
in since I left home. We were pro
vided with shoes yesterday and all
the boys are walking as if they were
crippled. It has been such a long
time since we have worn shoes, that
it is hard to get accustomed to them
again.
This is a great life and I enjoy
every minute of it. We are still re
lating the incidents of the "rescue
before dawn."
