~ nee the gay capital OF al inc
world of frivolity and fash
u ion, Paris has been tremen-
dously sobered by the great
war. But 1t will still retain its place
in the affections of lovers of the beau
tiful and the artistic.
Situated at the crossroads Of south
western Europe. at the meeting place
Of the great natural highways leading
from the Mediterranean to the Allan
tic through the Rhone valley, and from
the Iberian peninsula to the heart OF
Europe through western France. Paris
became q toll-taker from the world be-
fore most of the modern cities of Eu-
rope were born. accommodating that
wealth. that culture, that love OF the
beautiful, and that wisdom that can
come only when all the world contrib
utes thereto. says a bulletin Of the
National Geographic society.
In population Paris ranks third
among the cities of the earth. with
more people than Washington. Mexico

many respects-its art treasures sur.

Priceless Art Treasures.
In the heart of the city stands one
Of the worlds most noted Of buildings
the palace Of the Louvre. It is the
priceless art museum of France; and
there are contained within it, three
departments-sculpture, paintings and
acknowledgements Of the highest
expression Of human genius. The col

Texas. With the hope of so populariz-
ing and perfecting such a highway as
to elongate it eventually in both direc>
tions. The country is in need of more
and better highways. Enough manu-
ments are built or are in the process
of construction to crafty the desire
for that kind of memorial, therefore
in advocating the beginning of an
ocean-to-ocean highway for which the
Daughters of the Confederacy would
secure the name of the Jefferson Davis
highway, practical patriotism puts
forth a worthy blossom. Blessed shall
be the road that binds and facilitates
inter-communication of states.
By beginning, as above designated
such highway through the South. by
giving it a name loved of all Southern
people, by securing through their eff
forts so great an asset, the U. D. C..
shall serve the three-fold purposes OF
their organization-mem educa-
tional and social.
The great wealth of Russia is ac-
quired by means of rivers which are
called "the roads that run. Russia
has virtually no seaboard. We have
extensive seaboard, and few available
national water arteries, therefore it is
well that we unite seaports and miami
towns by roads, we'll built, bearing
names indicative of section and senti-
ment.
Let any U. D. C. study the topogra-
ply of her state, it's claims to historic
distinction, put such claims before the
Jefferson Davis highway chairman of
her state, who in turn, will present
same to the general committee at the

venience may be made to contribute
to the success of this far-reaching me-
mortal, to be known as the Jefferson
