I am sure everyone in the war industry in New Orleans at this time knew what a “Dep. Station” was, and that is where Lowell went after work today. But I have no idea. Any suggestions? I am afraid only paid subscribers can leave comments, because I get all sorts of ne’er-do-wells posting nefarious links when I open it to everyone. It’s one more perk you get as a paid subscriber!

Sentences were handed down to a greedy landlady and a gambling addict in New Orleans federal court. To read about them, you’ll need to be a paid subscriber. Upgrade to paid by clicking here. C’mon, at 16 cents a day, it costs less than Lowell paid for a movie ticket!
