BABY WEEK.

Not many months ago members
of Congress attempted to destroy
the Children's Department by
withholding the small appropria.
ton that gives 1t life. And now
the whole country is devOiing a
week to the baby! Many of onr
representatives are so averse to
considering anything from fun
damental basis that they never
realize that there may be some
relation between people and ba-
bies. They are so busy trying to
correct moral aud physical lpfir-
mites in grown ups that they
cannot spare the time to inquire
into the life of the child And
now that they have begun to de
vote a little attention TO the baby,
they are embarrassed by the in
constituencies in which they find
themelves

CUPID WORKS AMONG
 BRITISH IN FRANCE
Many English Soldiers Will Take Home with Them French Wives,
 If They Survive.

British Headquarters in France, May 17,-One of the results of the presence of the British army Ill France is that a good many British soldiers will take French wives home with them. The difference in lan- guage, far from being barrier, IS an accessory. Tommie Atkins teaches Miss France English. and Miss France teaches Tommie Atkins French.
 There is plenty of leisure for the courtship to develop. Frequently British battalions remain in the same section for months at time. When the men have done their shift in the trenches they return, ''in resi- as the saying goes. to the same villages where they were before Usually they have quarters in the French houses. In a sense they become mem- bers of the community.
 With the French men folk away the British soldier lends q hand with any heavy work which requires 9 mans strength. Only today the correspond- ent saw a British soldier drawing a harrow A feminine hand does some sewing or cooking for him in return. i The romantic atmosphere is not lack ing. When the Briton says "au re-
 voir" to his sweetheart and starts for 1 the trenches he may never come
 back: and he is going to tght TOT | France,
 On Sunday afternoons the girls are | out in their best frocks as they are anywhere else in the world, and walk 1 ing with them along the roads and lanes are men in khaki; their conver- satons are a mixture of French and | English.
 It is not romance alone that leads
 the Briton to marry in France. He has learned to admire the thrift and | cleverness of the French woman and
 her industry in taking the place oi
 her fathers and brothers who are at 1 the front

SAVING
 IDEA HITS STATE
Little Rock Street Force Working Under New Plan; Wesson Saw
 mill Adopts It.
(Bv Clio Harper.

Little Rock, June 7.-The "day- light saving" plan has struck Arkan- sas. It simply means, start work earlier in the morning and go to bed earlier at night. It has been adopted in many countries of Europe, and 1t is in operation in several large cities of the United States. It has been adopted by the superintendent of streets in Little Rock. and works ad- mirably. The men are put to work at 6 o'clock in the morning. and quit at 5 o'clock. It is found that they can work much better earlier in the morn- ing, and by shortening the afternoon, more time is given for recreation. The lumber mills at Wesson last week opened up with the plan. and report that it is satisfactory. Where it has been tried, all agree that it is the more natural system, that more work can be accomplished, with less exer- ton. It is predicted that it will be- come quite general, when it's advant- ages become more understood.

walking" is to be discredited in Little Rock, at least, an experiment. is to be made with it's prevention dur ing the coming week. Zones of safety are to be established at street inter- sections on Main street. similar to arrangements that obtain in large cities on the more congested thorough fares. These zones of safety shall be secured to the pedestrian, and no vehicle will be permitted to enter them. This will enable passengers to get on and off street cars with mini mum of danger from passing automo- piles, and will also have a tendency to prevent the blocking of traffic that sometimes occurs now, when no auto mobile can pass standing street car.
 Traffic regulation in Little Rock is becoming a very great problem, with it's thousands of automobiles, that are increasing in number daily. Cars left standing on the streets sometimes al- most blockade them, and some of the side streets resemble open-air garages because of the number of cars. Dur ing the next week, an experiment is to be made in parking the cars along the street, head in,at an angle of 60 degrees with the curb, so that more cars can be taken care of, and that cars can come and go when less in- convenience than when they are parked parallel with the curb.
