any law of the state, if the matter was left with Attorney General w. L. Moose, who admits that he has pur- chased drinks of this kind on a hot summer Sunday, and he was almost willing to class such beverage as necessity, comfort or charity.
 The attorney general was asked Wednesday for an official opinion as to whether it was a violation of the law to sell non-alcoholic drinks on Sunday. He replied that he could find no law which would make this a violation of the statutes, except that which prohibited any person from performing his regular vocation on the Sabbath, or forcing his employees to do so, except in regular homework, or in cases of charity or for comfort. The attorney general thus leaves it up to the courts to decide if refresh ing soft drink on a hot Sunday is forcing man to follow his usual vo- cation of keeping open his place of business on the holy day.

MISS COX TO JOIN
 IN CONCERT TOUR
FORMER CONWAY YOUNG WOM- AN NOW GRAND OPERA
 PRIMA DONNA.

Little Rock friends of Miss Louise Cox, sister of John Bruce Cox, for merly of this city, will be pleased to hear of the success she is making in New York. It will be remembered that of many candidates for prima donna honors, she was selected by the Metropolitan opera house manage ment, a recognition of which the greatest singers might be proud
 Now Max Rabinoff, the famous inn presario, has organized concert tour for September and October before the 'opera season opens. Miss Cox is fea- tured as the soprano and she is cer- tainly in high class company, the other stars being Anterio Pini-Cors the great bassobuffo of the Metropolitan Opera Company; Atillio Di Crescenzo, tenor of the Royal Opera at Parma, Italy, with Josep Pasternack, late of the Metropolitan Opera Company, as conductor.
 The announcement says: 'In mak- ing arrangements for this tour with General Manager Giulia Gatti- Casaz- "a of the Metropolitan opera house, impresario Max Rabinoff promised to have both Signor Pini-Corsi and Miss Cox back in New York in plenty time to take their places as regular mem- bers of the Metropolitan organization. Miss Louise Cox, soprano, is one of the newest songbirds captured by Sig nor Gatti for the Metropolitan. She is soprano of the first rank, with voice quite up to Metropolitan stand ard.

 The commission will be handicapped in measure by the action of the leg islature in restricting each item to the particular purpose for which it was intended, and the provision that un- expended balances from one fund must not be diverted to another. This is likely to make it difficult to secure de- sirable contracts.

COMMISSIONERS PLAN
 A THREE-DAYS' TRIP

Little Rock, June 7.-Commission- sers Dye and Highfall and Engineer Kingsley are planning three-days preliminary trip, about June 16, over the route of proposed 125-mile state highway to extend from St. Francis, on the Missouri line in Clay county, through the county seats of Clay, Greene, Craighead, Poinsett, Cross and St. Francis counties, to Forrest City.
 This stretch of gravel road is de- signed to be a part of the proposed Duluth-to- Gulf highway, which is now palned to cross the river at Cape Gi- rardeau, and ru ndown the east bank of the Mississippi. 1t is hoped, how ever, to induce a change of plan by providing fine stretch of road as proposed.
 The road would run along the side of Crowley's Ridge and would be at all times above high water. It passes through section of country where the finest gravel is found in quantities. The roadway would be 16 feet wide, and the berm 22 feet. It is proposed to organize a great improvement dis trict along the road, embracing all territory for three miles on each side It is estimated that the road will cost S4,O0O per mile, and 30 or 20 year bonds would be issued to cover the cost. This would be only a nominal cost upon the property owners. It IS planned to hold county road institutes in each county seat to aid in the for nation of the district. At Forrest City this road would intersect with the proposed Ocean-to- Ocean highway, be- ing promoted by the Southern Nation al Highway Commission.
 Considerable work is being done on the road now in Missouri by the Northeasa Arkansas and Southeast Missouri Highway Association, of which Commissioner Highfall is secre- &ary.
 It is also planned to begin the inn mediate circulation of petitions for the formation of districts to build roads from Paragould to Hopkins Bridge, on the St. Francis, distance
