[ Viood Roads Days Sept. 17-18.
; Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 27.—Gov.
Hays has issued a proclamation
I setting apart Sept. 17-18 as
[Good Roads days for the state,
at which time all persons inter
ested in this cause are requested
to contribute in whatever man
ner any work most appropriate
for the advancement of g-ood
roads by holding institutes, pub
lic meetings, road workings, or
in other manner best suited to
each respective locality.
Gov. Hays calls attention to
the fact that “there has been a
notable awakening of interest;
everywhere manifested in the
numerous mass meetings, in the
expressions of the press, and in j
the enactments of the recent
Legislatures, all of which will!
go to prove that there is a grow- ;
ing realization of the vital im-!
portance of public highways of
the highest class ready to be
crystalized into a state-wide, [
concerted effort at road im- ;
provement.”

French Capital Still Gay Paree.
(By William Phillip Simms, Li
mited Press Staff Correspond
ent.)
I Paris, August 25.—By Mail
to New York—Gay Paree! Nev
er has the French capital so
well deserved her reputation as
now. The Paris of war times is
surely not the Paris of peace
times, but Paris, just the same,
and more happy-go-lucky than
ever.
The people left behind here
are smiling. Tables and chairs
on the sidewalks, the Frenchi
est of French institutions have
been abolished in conformity
with the state of siege, but in
side the restaurants and cafes
the merry throng continues to
sit and sip its favorite drink—
usually a “soft” one—and swap
funny stories.
A Martian dropping to earth
at this particular spot would
never guess there isn’t a home
in France without its soldier at
the front for these people sim
ply refuse to sit around and
brood.
Alphonse is sixty .years old
and is consequently too old to go
to war. His pall is the same age
and the services he has volun
teered have been refused.
“My son,” says Gaston, wrho
is quite rich, “writes me he is
having a hot time at the front.”
“Indeed, and wrhat is he do
ing ” his cronies ask.
“He is the comnanv cook.” re
plies Gaston, laughing over his
joke. His son is a social lion,
and he can picture him playing
kitchen mechanic near the fir
ing line.
Gaston’s joke is a good one,
but his compasion chuckles in a
way to indicate that he has
one, too.
“What do you think,” he fin
ally says, “you know Jean, the
butcher? He has joined the col
ors.”
“Mais non!” exclaims Gaston,
“I thought he had been refused
because too fat”.
“Oh, but they took him in the
auxiliary”, comes the reply. “He
is the company barber.”
Whereupon the two cronies,
with sons and grandsons in the
trenches facing German shrap
nel, bullets, shells and bayonets,
if not already dead on the field
of battle, laugh softly, but
heartily and sip their syrup of
granadine. The French will not
mope.
Paris keeps her temper and
her gaiety, but she is vastly
different from the Paris Ameri
cans know. The only way of
getting about is by taxicab or
horsecar, the famous auto buss
es having disappeared the first
day of mobilization. Bicycles
are at a premium and many a
?ray-bearded American can be
seen pedaling through the
Theaters have been closed.
Many of them have been offer
ed to the government for what
ever use they may be put to
while the Jardin De Paris known
to most Americans, has become
a nursery for the babies of wom
en compelled to get out and earn
their living during the day. The
Grand Palais, just off the
the Champs Elysee, where the
great art exhibitions take place
annually, as well as the horse
show, atltomobil show' and a
viation exhibition is used as a
hotel to house soldiers as they
pass through Paris on their wray
to the front- #
