Undaunted by the reverse they suffered at the New Orleans conven- tton of the Jefferson Highway Asso- citation by reason of the so-called Par sons route being adopted in prefer ance to the Joplin route, Arkansas members of the association called Q convention to meet at Winslow De- cember 1 for the purpose oe deyising plans to build loop to the highway through the scenic Ozarks of this state. Had the Joplin route been adopted the highway would have led through the Ozark Mountains through out the entire western part of Ar kansas. The Parsons route takes the highway through Muskogee, Okla. hundreds of miles from the Ozarks.
 It is planned by the Arkansas mem- bers to build the Joplin route in it's entirety and attach it to the Jeffer- son highway at some convenient point in Kansas and again at Texas. Be- tween these points the loop is to be frequently intersected so that travel CTS may change from the main high way or loop without travelling to the main connecting points to change The fact that the loop will furnish new scenery to travellers is expected to make the highway still more popular.
 There is no doubt but that the northern part of the loop, north of Fort Smith, will be built before the Jefferson highway is constructed, as in this section there are fully half dozen good roads projects that can be speedily linked together tu form the northern part of the loop.
