What Is the Ideal Vacation |?

" HAT is one mans meat Is af1- other mans poison." says the old proverh. and "what is W rest to one man Is penance to a1iother." is just as true.
 Consider Nettie. the hosiery clerk. hoardtng her pennies and going with put necessities all winter in order that .n July she may stay for two weeks In . 6x-by.f four room at a fashionable hotel at the seaside: a room that is like unto Turkish bath for heat. and being situate over the Kitchen. like cheap lunch room for odors. When Nettie. the hosiery clerk. wishes to take 0 bath in this hotel she must perform her ablutions in a washbowl not much bigger than those designed for fingers on fashionable tables.
 To the on-looker the game would hardly seem worth the candle, but Nettie forgets her physical discomforts in the glorious adventure of watching at close hand the antics of the rich and the great.
 At home she lives humbly, but at least she has a comfortable room and tathtub wherein she may disport at will, and it would seem that she could relax in her own house better than alone in cheerless hostelry. But Nettie does the sensible thing all the rest of the year: then when vacation time comes she very properly takes her pleasure In her own peculiar way.

TRUSTEES DESIRE
 CONFERENCE 0N
 DOlLARWAY ROAD
Ask Rotary Clubs and Little Rock Commerce Chamber
 to Participate Also.

The trustees of the chamber of commerce, acting on rlmors that the commissioners of the road district be- tween Pine Bluff and Little Rock were not going to build pike on the seven miles of poor road in what was formerly Saline county, and now is Pulaski county. yesterday ar- pointed a committee to call on Judge Lee Miles of Little Rock, and the board of commissioners of the dis trict, to ascertain, if possible, what they intend to do. The trustees have asked Judge Miles to name day next week, or the week following. for the conference, and will request the board of commerce of Little Rock and the Rotary clubs of Pine Bluff and Little Rock also to name committees for this conference. The following com- mittee was named by the trustees to Wilkins, E. B. Bloom, Judge L. E. Cheek and Mayor Simon Bloom.
 H. I. Holderness, A. w. Mills. Pal mer Danaher, Charles Holmes, Walter Wilkins, and k. B. Bloom.
 Mir Bloom stated that Palmer Dan aher had prepared a bill abolishins the present commissioners of this dis trict and appointing new ones, al- ]eging the old body had not done any, thing toward improving the roads. MT. Danaher intended to have the bill introduced by Pulaski county repre- sentative at the recent legislature but agreed to not have it introduced on the promise of Judge Miles, and the road commissioners, to make the improvements immediately, it is said.
 It was decided that the enter tainment committee, including Mino- Woodword, A. w. Mills, Walter Will kins, Thurman Louthan, Simon Bloom and V. M. Harrison, working With the Pine Bluff company, will arrange a celebration to be given on the com- pletion of the high power line that the Pine Bluff company is now con- structing and which will furnish lights to England, Lonoke, Tucker, Sherrill, Stuttgart, and other towns north of the river.
 It is thought the line will be com- pleted in abopt two months. The celebration will be held in Pine Bluff, and citizens of the several towns will be invited to attend. It has not yet been decided what kind of a cele- bration will be held.

TO RAISE Cash FOR WAR UNIT
Campaign Started at Columbia to Send
State University Ambulance pi-
vision to France.

Twenty-Five students of the Univer
sity Of Missouri will be driving am,
balances at the French front within
the next two months If the plans now
being made for the organization Of a
amt Of the American Ambulance
Field Service are successful. More
than fifty men have volunteered for
service. and a campaign to finance
the unit has begun.
The unit Is voluntary and the men
who 60 are paid nothing for their ser
vices. Upon their arrival in France
they become members of the sanitary
corps of the French army and are sta
toned at the front with each of the
divisions. The work consists of driv-
ing an ambulance between the field
first aid stations and the base hos
pitfalls.
In order that the unit may be sent
it is necessary that $3.50 be raised for
the support of each individual in the
service. This goes to pay for the pas
sage and the personal equipment of
the men. They receive an allowance
OF SIS a month at the front, which is
included in the $3.50.
A campaign has been started to
raise the $4,000 necessary to send the
unit to France, and if the amount is
raised within a limited time, the Uni
versity of Missouri unit will sail June
16 for France with a similar unit from
Dartmouth. The campaign will be
among the alumni, friends and stu
dents Of the school. Committees are
being sent to Kansas City, st. Joseph,
st. Louis, Joplin and Springfield to
raise the funds.
The committee on organization is
composed Of: Pres. A. Ross Hill, hon
orary chairman; DR.. Guy L. Moves,
dean Of the school of medicine and
captain in the Medical Officers Re.
serve Corps, chairman; DR.. L. M. De.
foe of the school of engineering; Prof.

and public administration; Howard w.

HOUSE FOR ROOSEVELT PLAN
Lower Branch Of Congress Votes tc
Authorize Volunteer Expedition
to French War Front.

Washington, May 1.-THE way was
cleared in Congress today for Colone.
Roosevelt, if he receives authorization
from the administration. to raise a di
vision of volunteers for service in
France.
Reversing its previous action and
overriding the conference committee
on the army draft bill, the House
voted 215 to 17S to empower the Presi
dent to extend authority for recruiting
such a division. This sent the army
bill back to conference, but the Senate
already had adopted a similar authori
cation during original consideration Of
the measure and its conferees are ex.
pected to agree quickly to it now
Whether the necessary authority
will be given Colonel Roosevelt by the
administration is problematical. The
army general staff, whose advice Pres
ident Wilson has followed closely in
the conduct Of the war, is strongly OPP
posed to such a plan, declaring that
volunteer units of that character have
no place in the great war army.
The House voted the authorization
after a stormy debate. Representative
Anthony led the fight for the Colonel,
moving to recommit the army bill to
conference with instructions to accept
the Senate's Roosevelt amendment,
Chairman Dent Of the military commit.
tee and many other Democrats and Re.
publicans fought against the proposal
Forty-five Democrats and four Inde
pendents were among those who voted
for 1t, and there were thirty Republi
can votes against it.
When the action Of the House was
reported to the Senate Chairman
Chamberlain OF the military commit
tee withdrew the conference report for
revision and announced that the con
ferees would meet on Monday. The
bill, with the amendment included, i:
expected to receive final conference
approval without delay and go to the
President for his signature by the mid
die Of the week.
