| "The Tragic Masque," the thir
a
teenth episode of the Vitagraph ser
ial by Louis Joseph Vance, "The
Secret Kingdom," is at the Arcade
Theatre on tonight, and tells how As
Count Ramon, Madame Savatz and
their prisoner, Princess Julia, arrive
in New York, Phillip and Juan ar
rive by train having crossed from
Havana to Key West. A New York
newspaper containing a story of the
romantic love affair between Prin
cess Julia and Phillip, fighting for
his throne, usurped by Simond gives
Arthur Droyd, a crook who finds
that he resembles Phillip, a chance
to put up a game.
In the hotel room, adjoining Phil
lip's, Droyd hears Phillip tell Juan of
his wire to the Arizona Bank for
funds, and he plans with his confed
erate to do away with Phillip and
Juan, collect the money and imper
sonate him. Ramon and his party go
to the same hotel where Philip is
stopping, bu£ when Ramon seeç Pihl
I lip's name on the register he is sur
prised and enraged, and walks out to
! go to another hotel. But Droyd rec
! ognizes Julia, and slips the word to
j her that Phillip is in this hotel.
I Droyd fo,lows and ascertains
J where Julia's party is stopping; then
he returns * "cures access to Phillip's
' room witJl his confederate, and ren
! ders him insensible ' aen chloro
! forms him. Juan, returning, tries to
j fight, but he, too, is overpowered
and aecorded the same treatment.
Droyd hastily perfects ,his resem
blance to Phillip by some make-up
and then awaits the money from
ArizonJ,. Detectives searching for
Droyd, break into his room, where
Phillip and Juan are now lying. The
two, awakening, think they are being
framed-upland put up a hot fight,
but they are dragged to the station
by the detectives, who think they
have taken Droyd.
Julia writes a note to Phillip, re
questing him to call, but Ramon in
tercepta the note and changea it to
read for an appointment at a lonely
spot. Then he hires a gang of thugs,
of
the
be
and w r hen Droyd, in disguise as Phil
lip, goes to the spot, he is killed, and
Ramon thinks he has killed Philip.
Phillip is shortly released when the
officials become aware of their mis
take, and he and Juan set off in
search for Julia, but Ramon, fearing
the consequences of his crime, has
already started for Europe with his
party, and Philip is Jeft alone, dis
consolate.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF
SCHOOL BOARDMEMBERS
AND PARISH SUPERIN
TENDENTS
The Annual Conference of School
Board Members and Parish Superin
tendents, authorized by Section 25,
Act 120, 1916, will be held in the
City of Baton Rouge Monday and
Tuesday, July 16 and 17, 1917.
There will be three sessions of the
conference—Monday 2:00 p. m. and
8:00 p. m.; Tuesday, 9:00 a. m.—
held in the House of Representati
ves.
The discussions will fall
three heads.
under
to
to
1. » Assessments and School Re
venues. Statements will be made by !
State and parish officials outlining
the financial situation and the need
for additional school revenues; the
Board of tSate Affairs will be invit- ■
ed to sit with the conference at this
session and a member of the Board i
will be requested to explain the law ■
under which the Board operates and
to discuss the question of State sup
port for public education.
2. School Attendance. Figures
will be represented to illustrate
some of the loss sustained on account
of irregular attendance and an ef
fort will be made to discover the
best way to reach all children with j
good schools and to provide for their
regular attendance. The compulsory
law will be gone into thoroughly
with the view of determining
whether or not this law should be
strengthened in order to make ' it
more effective.
3. Country Development. Under
this topic such questions will be dis
cussed as, the necessity for increas
ed food production, diversification,
industrial education, country high
schools, both Junior and Senior, ne
gro schools.
It it to be hoped that large num
bers of the parish school board mem
bers will attend this conference and
take part in the discussions. The ad
consolidation of schools, good roads,
vancement of the public schools de
pends very largely upon the good
judgment and the patriotic interest
of the members of the parish school :
boards. That these officials will be j
very greatly benefited by attending j
the Annual Conference there can be
no question. The parish superintend- 1
ent should be REQUIRED to attendT, J
and request is hereby made that all,
of the boards at their July meeting
pass a resolution instructing and re
quiring the parish superintendent to f
attend the Annual Conference. The
board should by all means pay the
expenses of the superintendent (and
the board members who attend) but
the superintendent's presence should
be required even if he should be j
called upon to pay his own expenses.,
Yours sincerely,
T. H. HARRIS,
State Superintendent.

WOULD SHORTEN WAR BY FIR
ING ALL GERMAN FORESTS
-
London, July 11.—Octavus Char-|
les Beale, past president and now
official representative in London of,
the Associated Chambers of Manu
facturers of Australia, makes an at
tractive suggestion for the shorten
ing of the war. He wishes the Allies
to follow the example of Genral
Sherman in the American Civil wai,j
who devastated Georgia because it
was the "granary of the rebellion."
Following are the salient features
of Mr. Beale's scheme.
One-fourth of the German en
pire is under forests of pine and fir.
Usually the forests are contiguous,
t.he crops of grain and other food
material occupying all the arable I
space. The soil in the forests is poor, i
and only a hard, dry undergrowth ;
strewn with pine needles covers the
surface. In summer all is dry and
inflammable, the undergrowth, the
bed of twigs and pine needles, the
bark and branches of trees them
selves.
i A series of squadrons of airplanes,
each carrying the largest available
I quantity of pellets of thermit, qf red
' phosphorus or other effective Igni
| ting agents, can be sent at extreme
altitudes on systematic lines across
! Germany. Simple dropping appara
tus is required, actuated perferably
by spring and clockwork, so that the
circumference of the delivering
■ wheel shall drop with any desired
rapidity the pellets from a contain
i ing hopper according to the sped of
■ the airplane. The pellets, about the
size of shrapnel bullets, or even less,
are to ignite upon touching the
ground.
The time chosen should be in the
early afternoons of July and August
w h en the heat in Germany is usual
j y great. The woods are then quite
dessicated and highly inflammable,
j Mr. Beale's is not only well ac
quainted with the conditions of Ger
m any over thousands of miles, but
also with those of Australia, the
United States and Cttlada. The ef
fects of great grass and forest fires
are well known in the three last
named countries, and the calamity
cannot be arrested when it has once
attained a long line of advance
No reference to "boards of inven
tion" is needed; no intervention .of
i
i
lawyer-chemists, be their prestige i
ever so great. Every matchmaker has 1
all the information and facilities at
hand, and, says Mr. Beale, there is '■
no time to waste. Even the simple
clockwork to iusure the regular deli- !
very of the pellets can be dispensed
with. Anything to save pretious
time General Sherman had no such
facilities, and with him it was only a
question of ending the war oy dcs
: troying the resources of the enemy,
j The result showed that his was the
j ture principle of action, for the Con
federacy never recovered from the
1 blow.
There is no defense possible to
the enemy other than roofing his
country with grass, and there arc no
such forests in England to be so des
troyed, the very word "forester" be- !
in*as obsolete as "Fletcher',' the ar- '
rowmaker. In the woods that exist,
hinted and scattered, neither the
ucCc nor the undergrowth ara 03 -
penally inflammable. Much the same
applies to France, and moreover,
there is little or no chance of any at

ir,a..à, because success could not he

Baton Rouge was the first city in
the state to adopt an ordinance
against the use of wood shingles as
roofing in the campaign of fire pre
vention.

Concerning "Flag Day" the following
from the Army and Navy Journal may
be of Interest:
A correspondent asks as to tbe origin
of the custom of hoisting the flag on
board ship and at our army posts at
sunrise and hauling it down at sunset.
Some of our readers may be able to
add to the information we give here.
The army hoists its flag At sunrise and
hauls it down at sunset. The navy
pose of exchanging courtesies with
other vessels, but a vessel making port
keeps the flag flying until she comes to
anchor, whatever the hour may be.
The flag is hoisted on board ship during
chnrch service, with the church pen
nant flying above It The hoisting of a
flag below another flag is the token ef

SCOUTS TO AID RED CROSS
(Conducted by National Council of the
_Boy Scouts of America.) j
Dr. Ernest P. Bicknell, director gen
eral of the American Ited Cross, and a
member of the executive board of the
Boy Scouts of America, has been In
conference with other officials at the
Boy Scout headquarters, working out
definitely the plans proposed for the
co-operation of the 258,0()0 scouts and
scout officials with the Red Cross in
its war work.
Doctor Bicknell is enthusiastic about
the prospect of efficient aid by the Boy
Scouts of America in various branches
of Red Cross work. In the first place
every boy scout receives, in his regu
lar scout training, instruction and prac
tice in first aid and life-suving, and
many scouts have gained such high pro
ficiency In first aid that they have ob
tained the Merit Badge, which the
scout movement offers.
The second factor muking for effi
cient co-operation with a great relief
organization like the Red Cross, is that
the boy scouts, wherever located, in
big cities or In hamlets, are organized
In definite groups and are under re
sponsible adult leadership. This lead
ership can be reached quickly with the
information as to ways to help, togeth
er with instructions, from the national
headquarters of the movement. Thus
it is that more than a quarter of a mil
-1 Bon men and boys with special train
become partners of the National
I Red Cross in the work it has to do to
! " eet ltS tremendou ® and steadi,y ia '
CTeaslng responsibilities In war time.
Service of local groups of this kind
can be given more effectively in co-op
eration with the local chapters of the
American Red Cross. And local scout
leaders everywhere have been advised
to immediately acquaint themselves
with the local Red Cross need.
BUILDING THEIR OWN CABIN.
Scouts have no need of carpenter**
in their campe.
ONE BOY'S "WINTER GARD EH"
Boy Scouts are planning to make
their gardens 100 per cent efficient,
by not allowing a single pea or potato
to go to waste. Mr. Benson of the
United States department of agricul
ture, strongly urges all amateur gar
deners to do the same. -- -----
"A little boy, who learned canning
from our department, wrote me that
he had raised four gardens from one
little piece of ground," he says. "His
spring crop, he said, was one garden,
his summer crop a second, and his
fall crop a third. His fourth was a
•winter garden.' He said the latter had
27 rows, and 18 hills to a row. Bach
hill, he added, was a one-quart jar.
filled with preserved vegetables which:
his other three gardens had produced.
In his Vinter garden' he bad 'one
row' of corn on the cob, two Tows' of
corn off tbe cob and one 'row' each of
carrots, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage
and other vegetables.
"Canning will be just as Important,
■ part of the Boy ScouUf work as rals-i
Ing vegetables."
THINGS SCOUTS CAN Da
Organize gardening dabs in your
school. Assist the school authorities
In a planting plan for the whole school,,
then make sure of vacation instruc
tion and supervision of this garden.
A crop can't grpw during a three
months' vacation without care, any
more than a healthy scout can take a
week-end hike without food and water.
Each scout should organize an em
ergency foqÿ conservation patrol. Se
cure nine others not scouts to grow
some food products—men, women or
children eligible. Have each of them
ngree to do something us suggested in
this issue. There is no scout who
can't secure nine other people to se
lect and do at least one thing sug
gested.
Get vacant lots to nse and have your
scoutmaster assign them as requested
to anyone who applies. Real estate
dealers are glad to co-operate in many
cities. A weed patch this year should
be a disgrace to a community. A
"slacker" troop is a weed patch in
scouting. Get busy.
Let every patrol become a Leaders'
Reserve Corps. Impress the fact of
your leadership on, others. The great
est need in this food emergency cam
paign is for leaders. It is of grave
importance that everything possible
be done to fuynish this leadership. A
scout never fails In an emergency.
