ALGIERS, LOUISIANA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1922 No. 16 The Great American Bell By Richard Lloyd Jones Spractically every home on farm and in town, in every shop and store, and office there is a little bell behind which is a story of romance f1 before which is a wonderful world that it made less wile. That is telephone bell. -W used to call hello across the field. This little bell now carries helo across the continent. The farmer who was ten miles away town had to harness his horse and drive the old spring seat for than an hour to deliver a simple business message. Now he rings thbell and in two minutes the business is done. With equal ease the business man in Minneapolis confers with his ggrOW in New Orleans and the New York lawyers talks to his San p-~k cUlet. magine what it would be to be without it. How strange that scien * mean of forty-six years ago viewed it with suspicion. Os the first day of this month in his Novia Scotia summer home, sader Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone died in his seventy g. tsr. His death brought back the story of the advent of the phone. k was highly educated in the scientific schools or Scotland and -,L - As a young man he was a professor of sciences in Boston gvrsitY. He married the daughter of a wealthy merchant. He joined tM hay in extending to her especial tender consideration for she was g. He resolved to use his scientific knowledge to perfect a device .ge would give her an artificial eardrum that his voice might carry to -. For a year he experimented in his father-in-law's tarn. Hie failed "r all way to carry his voice to his beloved and afflicted bride, but that ".at effort brought him the instrument that has carried the human ,ve ovr the seas and across continents. gi father-in-law lost his fortune. This invention rebuilt it beyond SpoortioLs of all former dreams. 18 1I76 Mr. Bell carried his newly patented invention to the Phila Ma exposition where our nation celebrated its Centennial. But no Sas ticed the telephone. Popular intrest seemed to center in the butter cmalied out of New York's famous Herkimer County butter. gmatists assembled there but even they were not attracted. At ye of the more eminent consented to look at the odd little device. i mte into the mouthpiece, another at a distance listened at the re My God, it talks!" the latter cried. And then the telephone came. I is l your house and my house, your shop and my shop. Our life igU bkilt to be dependent upon it. go the nrst of this month few took notice of the passing of this great yter of mankind. He shortened distance; saved time; sped up all wheels of industry and promoted commerce. He was a great progress Mr. Bell sent our hello everywhere. He brought us the little bell sw have made the Great American Bell. It is the little bell that calls -t4r as bidding more than any bell the world has ever known. S ANT CAMPAIGN.

VACCINATION CERTIFICATES NECESSARY TO ENTER SCHOOLS, GWINN ANNOUNCES Superintendent of Schools J. M. Gwinn yesterday made public the dates for free vaccination against small pox that will be administered in the Algiers schools. The Orleans board of education physicians wil 1 be at the McDonogh No. 4 school on the mornings of September 11 and 12, at the Lawton White school on the l morning of September 13, and at the Lawton negro school on the morning of September 14. Mr. Gwinn says the same ruling on vaccination that prevailed in the city proper would be enforced in AlI gilers and any child not successfully vaccinated during the last seven years will not be permitted to attend school without a certificate. The superin tendent said a certificate from family' physicians would be accepted by the board's health officers. BLOCK DANCE. American flags, electric lights and fire works will mark the scene of the grandest block dance ever staged in Algiers next Thursday night, August 21, on Peliean Avenue, between Se. ginu and Bouny Streets. The Boy Scouts of Troop 32, who are giving this entertainment are doing every 1 thing possible to make the event one 1 that will be everlastingly remembered and spoken of by the people of Al] giers. Already some three hundred tickets have been disposed of, which makes us believe that the crowd will be a record breaking one. This dance is going to be a whole family dance, this meaning that only that kind of dancing that is suitable for the whole family from mother and father to little sister and brother will be allowed. Many mothers sad fathers have promised to be in at tendance. Boy Scents of New O' leans will also come to Algiers on that night. Brownlee's Band will furnish the music. HER GLOVES.

Henricks, n. that he had left the Behrman id camp and allied himself with the New Regulars, the announcement of a " change in the affiliation by Mr. ie O'Donnell is in the nature of a severe jolt to the old Regulars. w Politicians look on these changes of in affiliations as a certain indivation that the drift of sentiment in the city is toward the New Regular Demo cratic ticket. ie Mr. O'Donnell's announcement, which was in the shape of a formal statement follows: Is "As the elected representative in k the legislature of the citizens of Al ,k giers, I feel it is my duty to quit the a Behrman ranks, and join with my many friends in the New Regular re Organization. "As a member of the Legislature, I ft feel that I did my best to work for -. and safeguard the best interests of It the people of Algiers, and I feel that aI am doing so now when I become affiliated with the New Regular Dem ocratic organization. "I know that the candidates of the New Regular Democratic organimr tion are high-class men; are qualfledl a in every way, and deserve the votes 11 of the people.

Taxes On Realty Due Next Month Collection Made in September, De- F linquency Starts Oct. 1. The collection of city taxes on real estate will begin September 1,' and continue through to the end of C the month. On October 1 they will' become delinquent and those failing lI to pay before that date must stand ' the additional delinquent fee. E. T. Drumm, city treasurer, has ( suggested that tax payers on real s estate send addressed envelopes to 1I him in order that he might forward - them the amount of their bills. In i writing to the city treasurer, tax payers are advised to give the boun- t dary lines of their property. a "In carrying out this suggestion t I believe it will greatly aid not only our department but the tax payers a themselves," said the city treasurer., "By having the bills drawn up ahead e of time, those who call at the office to pay these bills wln be spared the I long tedious wait necessary to deter- i mining the boundaries and to figure ' percentage on assessments and other:I details." b The colleotion of taxes on per. I sonal property will begin about the middle of October and it is expected I that the same procedure will be fol-. lowed. MATS FOR CAVING c PREVENTION TO BE SUNK NEAR ALGIERS. t To prevent further erosion and a caving on the Algiers side of the river above the Algiers ferry, government engineers and workmen of the Fourth Mississippi Engineering District will sink three sections of frame willow mattresses, each loaded with rock and I cement ballast at danger points this week. The first section will be sunk at a point about 300 yards above the Al giers ferry. The entire section ex tends a distance of about 400 feet from the banks to where the stream has a depth of about 110 feet. The section is 150 feet in width. Each section will be connected to the river bank by heavy steel cables and the first section to be. sunk con sists of four separate mattresses, each 150 by 100 feet, spliced together, thus r forming one large mattress known as a section. Each of the sections will be 400 by 150 feet and when all have been placed in position and sunk the bank on the Algiers side, where caving ex tending for a distance of about 100 feet upstream and about fifty feet out into the river has taken place with. in the past few months, will be pro tected from further sloughidg. The bank for a distance of 450 feet up the river and 40 feet out will be protected from future caving when the laying of the three sections are completed, government engineers said. The first section will be sunk at a point beginning a few feet above Dock No. 1 of the Algiers Dry Dock and Ship Repair Company, while the other two will be sunk above and ad. joining the first. The three sections when completed will extend from the I dock to a point almost directly op posite the Corona Coal Company's building. SURPRISE PARTY.

A statement denying that the Ku Klux Klan was responsible for threat cing letters written to railroad shop imen in Algiers was received by The Times-Picayune last week. It fol lows: "Dear Sir: "In the editions of August 17, New Orleans papers carried an article de scribing the receipt of threatening letters by two men living in Algiers. Said letters were supposed to have been written by this organization. "Please be kind enough to give this letter the same space as that accorded the article above referred to. We absolutely and most emphatic ally deny any and all responsibility of the letters in question, and will say that they are absolutely false. "We regret exceedingly that our name should have been used in con, nection with these letters and must say that some unscrupulous person has certainly gone some distance in another attempt to discredit this or ganization. "We further state that no such practices are resorted to among us nor will the organization countenance anything that even borders upon those things that are not strictly ac cording to law. "This is your authority to say that this Klan No. 45 will pay to the per son producing evidence to prove this klan or any one of our members had any knowledge whatever of those let ters the sum of $100. "Please note carefully the heading of this paper. It is official klan paper. Any notes, letters or other documents written on paper other than tils are positively frauds, and should be treated accordingly. "We assure you that we will make every attempt to find out who the party or parties are that are respon sible for the letters above mentioned and any information we get will be turned over to the proper party. "Thanking you very much for any courtesy given us, we are, sincerely yours, "AL-GRE-HAR KLAN No. 45, REALM OF LOUISIANA, KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN. "Officially approved by the Exalted Cyclops." DOCK BOARD SHEDS AT FOOT OF CANAL STREET TO BE REMODELED. Plans for the beautification of dock board properties at the foot of Canal street have been approved by the board, and General Manager John H. Walsh, authorized advertisement for bids as soon as the details have been completed by the board's archi tect. This probably will be in a week or ten days, Mr. Walsh said yester day. Remodeling of the Canal street end of the Poydras shed and construction of a retaining wall across the head of the street will be the first step in the board's improvement campaign. The plans were pre. pared by Colonel Allison Owen, in conformity with a general improve. ment scheme at that point in which a number of public bodies are pledged to participate. The general layout was prepared by a committee of local architects. In remodeling the Poydras shed one corner of the structure will be re. noved so as to permit a continuation of the upper line of Canal street to the river's edge. The shed projects slightly at this point, obstructing the view. Only a part of the proposed re. *Inlng wall can be built at this time, Mr. Walsh said, as the city's ferry franchise has not been awarded. It is proposed to use part of the pro ceeds of the ferry franchise for coa - structlon of a new ferry landlng, while the present ferry house anad dock board engineering office will be removed. The new ferry house walid be at the upper end of the Bleaville street shed. The retaining wall will be built to the Mississippi river commissaon grade of twenty-five feet, and later he present open dock between the Poydras shed and the ferry house will be removed, and the levee flled in between its present crown and the retaining wall.
