ROADS AT SLIGHT COST
POLICY FOLLOWED BY BRITTON
APPLICABLE HEKE-MADISON
COMMITTEES TO MEET.

Energy and an e%nterprising spirit,
almost in themselves, can bring about
good rural roads, and the town of
Britton, seat of Marshall county, has
shown the way. Push and coopera-
ton have been the factors in gravel
ing forty miles of highways leading
into Britton.
How to get good country roads
with the expenditure of comparative
ly little money is explained in a let
ter received by William Rowland,
secretary of the Madison Merchants
association, from an officer of the
Britton Commercial club. The Brit
ton mar discloses the manner in
which the four main roads leading
into his town were transformed in a
year or so from next to impossible
driveways to near-perfect highways.
Persons owning farms on four
trunk roads were asked to contribute
$50 toward the improving of the
roads, and nearly all wners after
being shown the benefits they would
derive from the changed condition of
the highways, readily donated. And
only those who wished paid in cash.
The land owners notes for the
amount were taken. and those who
desired were permitted to work out
the $50 on the road improvement.
Committees for the working of the
main thoroughfares, and subcommit-
tees for the branch roads, were form
ed, and they solicited and supervised
the work of men in the town and
country. who would be indirectly
benefited by the road betterment.
Entering into the spirit of the oc-
casion, the Great Northern railway,
which runs through the town, hauled
fifty cars of gravel gratis, and the
county commissioners turned over a
substantial sun from the %county's
share of the automobile tax.
1t is pointed out that as the nat
ural conditions here are similar to
those at Britton, the same procedure
could be profitably followed in the
vicinity of Madison. 1t is thought
probable that the Milwaukee railway
would consent to haul free two or
three trainloads of gravel from the
gravel pits to the city or TO Lake
Madison. 1t is believed that this
county's share of the automobile tax
this year will be larger than ever be-
fore, and that a large amount should
GO for road improvement.
Farmers and merchants generally
have been clamoring for improved
road conditions, and all appear TO be
willing to do their share toward
bringing about the change.
Both the Commercial club and the
Merchants association have appoint
ed good roads committees. and while
the two bodies have agreed to get to-
gether in bringing about the desired
end, no date for a joint meeting has
as yet been set.
1t was shown at a recent meeting
of the Commercial club that not only
do good roads mean an immense con
venience and saving of money for the
farmer, but that poor roads divert
business from Madison and cause un-
favorable comment regarding the city
and county to spread broadcast.
1t is said that following the inn
proving of the roads leading TO Brit
ton, commercial men and others who
travel by automobile, are singing the
praises of the enterprising citizens of
Marshall county.

FRENCH SUSPEND A.
CUSTOM Of LONG.
ON THE NEW YEAR

PARIS, Jan. 4.-The$ long standing
French custom of exchange of visit
ing cards at the beginning of the New
Year has been suspened by the war.
IT. is quite possible that it will never
be generally revised. The customs
had once before fallen into almost to-
tai neglect and President Fallieres is
credited with reviving it for the bene-
fit of the ndustries-cardmake
printers and stationers-who derived
dustry. According to the tradition, a
person was allowed fifteen days after
the beginning of the year to send his
card to all persons whose acquaint
ance he regarded as worth cultivat-
ing. When the custom became gener-
al certain of it's drawbacks made
themselves felt acutely. A single per-
son overlooked acquired for the per-
son in default grudge that was
stronger than the gratitude of all
those that were remembered by him.
Many bitter enmity had its origin
in the simple forgetfulness of person
to observe this custom. s
The exchange of visiting cards, or
iginally purely social matter, be-
came also introduced into business.
Men who had no social intercourse
whatever, but had reason to cultivate
each others acquaintance commercial
ly, adopted the method of sending
their cards at the beginning of the
year The result was such burden
upon the postal authorities that every
New Years Day special boxes had to
be provided at the postoffice for the
reception of visiting cards. The re-
vival of the custom a few years ago
was allied with a great deal of
grumbling; those who considered it a
nuisance were nevertheless obliged to
fall in line for fear of lacking con-
sideration among their acquaintance.
Last year the visiting card was re-
placed by the illustrated postcard, as
it will be again this year and no
doubt for years to come.

Chinese Newspapers Haze
Up Their Anger Because The
Jops Let Arms Come in Now

PEKIN, Jan. 4.-Chinese papers are
loud in their denunciation Of what
they regard as Japan's Indifference to
the importation Of arms, ammunition
and explosives into China. The recent
seizure at Shanghai of large guam
tity of dynamite found in the baggage
of Japanese passenger, who arrived
on the Japanese ship Sakaki from the
Japanese-controlled portrQf Dalny, is
attracting much attention. The Chin
ese press is charging that the Japan
esaare Indifferent to the activities of
Chinese assassins and trouble-makers
located in the foreign concessions,
and would be glad to see internal
! trouble in China which would afford
an excuse for intervention.
The Picking Daily News in discuss
ing the Japanese who brought the
dynamite into Shanghai, says: "An
amount of dynamite sufficient to blow
the International settlement off the
face of the earth cannot be hawked
from place to place without officials
Of some kink knowing about it. Dyna-
mite is not manufactured in Oalny,
and the assumption is fair that it
vas brought there from Japan. But,
whatever the place of origin, there
should be some record in the customs
office at Dalny. A Japanese commits
sioner is in charge at Dalny, and the
first step to be taken is for the Japa-
pese government to instruct him to
submit full report of any recent
movements of explosives and of the

The Garden Of Allah

The Garden of Allah, which opens
at the Grand, Macon, Ga, on Wednes-
DAY night, January 18th, and giving
matinee and night performance on
Thursday, January 18th, the prices
will be matinee 25c to $3.50, and at
night soc to $780,
The Garden of Allah takes high
rank as a scenic production forming
the background for the large COM
pany of players, camels, horses, dom
keys, pigeons, ETC., all of which it will
require five large baggage cars to
transport from city to city.
The first curtain will go up on a
scene entitled, THE Spirit of the
Desert" an early dawn scene on the
desert. The caravan of a Sheik of
the desert moving slowly across the
stage, includes Arabians imported es-
pecially for this play, five camels, to-
gether with many horses, shaggy
donkeys and goats. AS the sun rises,
the Sheik descends from his camel
and prays to Allah.
The second scene is of hotel YER
audah on the edge Of the desert, with
large, real palm trees III the fore
ground. The third scene is of street
III Ouled Males. The fourth scene is
Of the interior of an Arabian shop,
with it's gathering of Arabians and
dancers, incense, flute and drum mus,
ic producing a rarely realistic at
nlosphere.
The garden of Count Anteoni, in the
second act, is the true Garden of AL
lah, and one of the most beautiful
scenes in the play. In the third act
occurs the famous sandstone on the
desert, and, although being a bleak
bare desert scene, it is surprising in
its beauty and magic scenic effects.
The outside of a Trappist monastery,
near Tunis, furnishes the scene for
the last act. Attention to detail
throughout the performance has done
much to make this the most beauti-
full and wonderful scenic spectacle of
the modern stage, as has been pro-
claimed by critics everywhere. The

Three Germans
Couldn't Make
Up For Chinks

HABIN. Jan. 4.-Three GeFula1
prisoners disguised as Chinese were
arrested on the a few nights ago On
a Trans Siberian train at TsitsikME.
two hundred miles west Of Hardin.
The conductor saw one of the man
looking out of q window in the cor
ridor of one of the coaches, while tho
train was crossing a large bridge
over Norma river. When questioned
the man in Chinese garb refused to
talk. The conductor pulled off the
passengers cap and que and discOv-
cred that the man had brown hair and
stained his skin the color of Chin
ese.
A search through the train resulted
in the discovery of three other pas
sengers similarly disguised. All "a
the men were detained at Tsitsikar.
A heavy guard has been placed over
all the bridges on the Trans-Siberian
line. So many attempts have been
made upon bridges since the begim
ming of the war that special squads
now board all trains and examine thA
passengers before train is permitted

AUTOMOBILE LAW
EFFECTIVE SATURDAY

ATLANTA, Jan. 3.-Georgia's new
motor vehicle law enacted at the ex-
traordinary session of the Legisla-
ture became effective Saturday. Secre-
tary of State Phillip Cook, however,
has had the new 1916 numbers and
license taxes for the past ten days and
has been furnishing them to all appli-
cants.
While there are a number of mater
oal changes in the law with respect to
the operation of motor vehicles, the
new state requirements are not so
very far away from those Of the old
law. There has been a notable change
in the matter of the speed limit, which
is to be held at thirty miles an hour on
country roads. AS will be recalled, no
material change was made as to the
method of distributing the fund which
the state will derive from the sale of
these automobile license tags and
numbers, and it will go to The counties
OF Georgia as heretofore, upon a basis
of rural road mileage and to be appli-
ed to road work.
Interesting in this connection will
be the forthcoming decision of the
state Supreme Court in the test case
brought up from Savannah, involving
the constitutionality of the old act on
the ground of the distribution of the
fund Inasmuch as there is no ma
terial difference in the method of dis
tribution, it may be that the decision
will affect the new law.

Bath Tub Excuse
Latest Of Orleans
Women In Hiding
(By Edith Sparrow

Have you heard of the very latest
thing in alibias?
It's the bath tub ruse and is the own
little discovery of Mrs. New Orleans.
When you telephone her and she
does not wish to talk to you, she sends
word by her maid that she cannot
come to the phone because at that mo-
ment she is in the bath tub.
If you go calling on her, and the idea
of talking to you doesn't appeal to her,
she informs you by her maid that she
lis taking bath.
That ancient mot at home" plan of
getting rid of undesirables has at last
been abandoned in New Orleans and
the more PLAUSIBLE bath tub idea
adopted. There's more punch in the
newest excuse and less come back at
tached.
Though a few have waited for the
bathers to appear, there is no record
of telephoner who had the courage
to say he would hold connection until
madam could talk to him.
Book agents, collectors and newspa-
per reporters are the principal suffer
ers from the fiendishly clever alibi
system. They simply haven't chance
from the start. In fact, it was predes-
tined that they should never lay eyes
ON or exchange words with the Lady
of the Bathtub.
Suppose it is hard-driven reporter
who wants to ask Madam if it is true
that her husband has eloped with a
burlesque actress. He telephones to
the house and gets the number without
delay. When a voice answers he be-
gins to visualize the big scoop his
paper is going to put across all by
his excellent efforts. But, demands
the voice:
Who is it that would like to speak
with madame?"
Reporter calls for her again as if he
hasn't heard the demand. The voice
asks it all over again and very stern
ly.
"Er-er, this is reporter, and"
Just moment, please breaks in
the voice with ominous crispness.
Before the moment lis out the voice
is back with the information that
madame cannot come to the phone, be-
cause she is taking a bath.
Half an hour later he will try it
again, and with identically the same
result. Any time thereafter she will
happen to be taking a bath just when
he calls.
New Orleans women are the celan-
est in the world, surely. They have no
regular hours for bathing, but are pro-
miscuous and frequent about it.
Lots of women are such gadabouts
that they are always out when callers
call. New Orleans women are in,
but bathing.

AN excellent opportunity is afford
ed Japan of showing the sincerity of
her friendship for China. A full and
explicit exposure of the information
upon which she bases her belief that
disturbances in China are imminent,
and public announcement of her re-
solve to use all the means at her dis
posal to prevent aid of any kind being
rendered to Chinese anarchists by her
nationals, would go far towards re-
moving the cloud of suspicion in
finch recent action and inaction has
enveloped her.
1T is remarkable that Japanese
newspapers openly discuss the plans

Why Spring Brings Out
