NEW PARKING ZONE OUTLINED
White Lines on Broadway Show Where
Cars Nav Be Left.


When Columbia motorists arrived
on Broadway this morning they no.
ticed two white lines painted on the
brick pavement from Eighth to Ninth
streets. Standing in the middle of
the street, between the two painted
lines, was Policeman Charles Mitch
ell He explained to motorists that
the white lines were put on the street
to carry out the ordinance passed by
the City Council last week, which
requires that all motor cars be
parked in the middle of the street.
thus keeping a space on either side
of the street for traffic.
Mitchell was reinstated to take
charge of this work, and will be on
the force for at least one month start
ing today, He found Columbians very
willing to abide by the new ordinance
and all day there was a line of neatly
parked motor cars in the middle of
Broadway.
Owing to the fact that the painters
employed by the Council ran out of
white paint last night, it was impos-
sible to fix the parking zone east to
Hit street as it was originally intend
ed. This will be done tonight, and as
soon as the Boone County National
Bank is finished the zone will be con-
tinued south to Seventh street.

THE SOUTHERN SLAyS

Very little reaches the outside
world as to what is happening in Ser
bia, except such as the Central Pow
ers choose to issue. No neutral is
permitted to visit the country unless
he be a paid agent of the Germans
and Austrians.
The Sword has stified the voice, yet
the southern Slavs have not aban-
doned hopes of one day being able to
join hands to form a free Slavonic ma
tion. The sole barrier to this realiza-
tion is that they are artificially sepa-
rated by force.
Those few Serbians who still exist
hail the Russian revolution with
hope and promise. The Serbs. Croats

ORR .SAMMIES" IN FRANCE

France is amazed at the order and
cleanliness of the American troops
who are now in France. The people
admire their new allies, but their
thirst for water and the energy with
which the soldiers are taking hold OF
things brings ever increasing wonder
to the French people.
The "Sammies" have made a little
bit of America out of their camp, and
they have only been there very
short time. The men are full of
American spirit and have plenty of
praise for the French people. The
lack of sufficient quarters has had no
bad effect on the Americans. for they
haSe taken to the hillside without hes
itation and have made themselves
comfortable under adverse conditions.
They filter their uncertain pure water
without a murmur, much to the
amaZement of the wine-drinking peo-
pie of France. They have cleaned the
entire surrounding district until it
is neat garden in appearance. The
men are also showing a great desire
for cleanliness of body, for they take
many baths, much to the bewilder-
ment of the populace of their district.
The sunny side of life has not been
omitted from the American life in
France, for the soldiers have many
mascots with them, and when not at
work the soldiers may be found in
groups where a few of the more tai
ented are singing some popular song.
1t is a clean life that our boys are
living in France and every move is
marked by the cooperation of all
Let us hope that all of our troops
who are sent to do their part in
Europe may keep up the good record
set by the first "Sammies" to reach
the scene of conflict.

Vacations and the
War

The man who, counsels against taking
vacation this summer because this country at war
is simple-minded.
Not only is it stupid policy to curtail nor
NAL circulation of money throughout the country,
but far stupid it is to ieopardize our citizen
health and happiness
We shall need every ounce of vitality we
possess carry the burdens we have assumed Rest,
recreation, and recuperation important in main
tanning individual and national stamina. Our
man-power-and woman-power---s going to be
pushed to the utmost and it is just as patriotic to
safeguard health as it is to safeguard liberty.
Vacation trips also stimulate the vitality of
commerce and industry and help foster prosperity.
This particularly that foreign shores are
closed to tourists.
Secretary of the Interior Lane Says: ''Itis
even more important now than in times of peace that
that the health and vitality of the nations ctizen-
ship be conserved"

ton habit.-7He Chicago Tribune.

should be allowed to form a state with
political and economic freedom.
The territory occupied by the
southern Slavs is important politically
and geographically, because upon it
will probably depend the peace of
Europe. Will the Slavs with demo-
cratic tendencies and capacity for
progress be given a national existence,
or will they continue to be held in
subsection, thereby. sitting all hope
of progress?
