PERSHING VISITS "Y" HEADQUARTERS
✓ General John J. Pershing, American expeditionary force commander, leav
ing T. M. C. A., ftüals du Glace, Parte, where he congratulated every woman
work» personally.
■HT Oenfrat Pershing's Inspection of the T. 11. O. A. canteen, which was unan
nounced, took Up an entire morning and he expressed himself satisfied with
the results. At several places he surprised the men at their luncheon. At the
Palais du Glace, where 25,000 Americans eat dally, the first Intimation that the
diners had of his presence was when the orchestra played the "Star-Spangled
Banner," and they looked about to find the commander In chief of A. E. F.
«landing at attention. f
He Interrogated a number of the soldiers about the food and the prices,
and exhibited the most minute Interest In everything pertaining to their
welfare. At the Hotel Rochester, a Y. M. 0. A. hostelry on the Boulevard
Courelle«, he learned with surprise that any private soldier could get two
oggs for his breakfast This was something generals frequently had experi
enced difficulty In doing.
To the American women workers at the Palais du Qlace he said : "I want
«« tell you that I appreciate what the American women are doing over here.
It means a great deal to the army to have the right kind of American women
here doing the work you are doing. Not only la it good for the soldiers, but
for you, too. It gives you a new perspective on the work of men, and on
the war."
OOUNCftL or DEFENSE.
"J feel," continued Governor
Pleasant, "that there are hun
dreds ol patriotic persons in every I
pnrish who would willingly, glad-1
ly and proudly undertake this
work of recording our soldiers if.
It were but properly brought to
their attention.. Bach day dm*«
Jngthe war an act of heroism was
by some of our brave
in the nervice of their conn-1
tey, and, as there is no question (
el the State's pride in these
young soldiers, saiors and ma- J
fines, the Council «f Oefense has.
"Forty-four parishes have now
%een enrolled in the War Service
Xécord Canvass, by means of
which each parish can preserve
for posterity the war records of
her soldiers and sailors Who so
valiantly offered their services
and lives as champions of liberty
jmd Christian democracy in the
recent terrible conflict in Eu
rope," Governor E. G. Pleasant,
Ex-Officio Chairman of the Louis
iana State Council of Defense, an.
nounced Tuesday, in issuing a
general appeal to the twenty de
linquent parishes, out of ftixty
finr, to awaken to & consciousness
of what the permanent preserva
of such records will mean to
and to the State of Loui$i
felt that to compile an historical
record of their services would be
mot only a ftttin gbut an invat
«able memorial to them.
"The record of the manhood of
Louisiana in the war is a glorious
one and it Would be a blot upon
ike good name of any parish in
üm State not to support and in
way assist this splendid
movement. By a house
»'house canvass, only, can per

men inducted into service, mem
bers of the National Guard and
a small pe cent of volunteers; but,
what of Louisiana men who served
in the Candian army or in any
army or navy of the Allfes, and
of many former Louisiana men,
who, having become residents of
othe states enlisted therefrom! In
no other way can we bring back
to our State the records - of our
men so diversely serving. Again,
as every family in every parish
will be visited, opportunity will
be given to quote interesting let
ters, contribute pictures or other
data that n one hundred years
will have become valuable from
an historical standpoint, and in
addition the records will ha>e
been given an intimate and per
sonal touete3r V :
"At an approximate cost, of
five thousand dollars the »State
I Council of Defense has ordered all
temporary record blanks, perm
anent record blanks and hand
some loose leaf leather binders
for recording. Upon the perm
anent blanks the State head
quarters will copy all records r?
eeived, these to be placed in the
binders and each parish to be prc
( rented with her records which will
be kept for public reference at
J courthouse, library- or memorial
hall as the citisens may desire.
Particulars in regard to organisa
tion' work can be obtained from
the Secretary of the State Coun
cil of Defense àt Baton Bouse."
This is an appeal that should
not he neglected and through
your Parish Council of Defense
you are in a position to find out
whv vour Parish Chairman has not
perfected an organization for this
record canvass; alio, to render
valuable assistance in its prosecu
, tion by offering your services as
Parish Director of same, or, by
suggesting some reliable, patriotic
person who would undertake th
duties thereof and with whom
you might serve as a ward direc
tor. The State Council is • not
only willing but anxious to co
operate to the fullest extent, and
upon request will furnish an out
line for parish organization and
all instructions as to how to pro
ceed with the canvass. The direc.
tor, or head of the parish canvass
is issued a commission by Gover
nor Pleasant which names him,
or her, Parish War Record Direc
tor. •
Consider this an urgent appeal
for your co-operation with the
State Council of Defense in seeing
that your parish is enrolled in this
beautiful memorial work and in
this immortalizing to our State

WHEN YOU GET A BIT BLUE.
When we are inclined to be a
little bit down in the mouth, we
like to think of a man in the Mid
dle West who is making his mark
in spite of the fact that both his
legs are off close up to his body.
He used to be a street car man
and. because of an accident, had
to have his limbs amputated.
Most men would have been so
beaten by such a terrible thing
that they would have taken to
the chimney corner and spent
their time mourning and lament
ing their undone condition. But
this man started for the farm.
You and I might thing that was
about the last place the man
would think of going to, for there
are jobs that seem better adap
ted to a legless man than farming.
This man can do almost any
kind of work there is to be done
on the farm. He can climb a
ladder to do a job of painting ; he
can ride almost any kind of farm
machine; he can drive an auto;
he can do work in the garden or
milk cows CMP go to jtown with
stuff for the market. In fact, hej
is one of the most successful farm
ers in his neck of the woods and
is said to be the only legless
farmer in the United States.
How can he do so much and do
it so well! Just by keeping his
grit up and saying: "I can do
this, and I wili."—Ex.

TEACH&NG THE MISSISSIPPI
TO BRUSH ITS OWN TEETH.
(Beginning! the middle of this
summer, the Mississippi River will
be able to brush its own teeth and
keep its own mouth clean of mud
and silt and sand, which for so
many generations have kept gov
ernment dredges and other boats
busy down at Port Eads holding
open that mouth so that shins
might pass in and out, and 100
miles up the river to New Orleans.
The method was very simple—
after they found out how to do
it—for it consisted merely in nar
rowing the channel inside the
jetties, by means of timber break
waters, to 1,000 ft., with a mean
depth of 35 ft., and then directing
the main current of the Mississippi
through this narrowed channel.
Only on« dredge will be required
now for soundings and records,
whereas, three or four dredges
were^emj^
channel clear. Now the current
of the Mississippi scours itself.
When the construction innova
tions are completed, more than 99
per cent of the world's ships will
be able to come safely and swiftly
into New Orleans in unfavorable
conditions of wind and tide and
river level, and all but eight of
the Atlantic liners will be able to
do so when the conditions are
favorable.
The willow mattresses on which
th« cut-off dams rest are interest
ing. Mattresses are woven on
barges anchored where they are
to be laid, and as it is rolled off
the barge, another barge coming
behind, drops onto it tons of stone
in 'blocks of 100 to 150 pounds.
These mattresses are made in
sections, usually 200 ft. wide, but
ranging in width, when complete,
from 500 up to 2,000 feet.
