The following article appeared in

describes the great happiness that
comes to the poor French children
through the assistance and generosity
of the American people:
1t was a wee little letter from wee
little tot. A mishapen scrawl from a
fatherless son of devastated France
And yet that letter was phrased to
bring tears to the eyes. From its art
less words there grew a picture, pic
ture Of gladness amid hardship, JOY
amid devastation. Again and again
three words recurred-"je suis heur.

81 am happy!" Imagine to yourself
the surroundings Of the little chap
that wrote those words! A little
town in the north of France but re.
Gently abandoned by the Germans,
scarce stone upon stone, almost no
food, no cattle, no produce, the little
chap himself in now ragged clothes
from America. Il am happy that the
Americans have come" Il am glad
that the Germans are gone" "The
clothes which came from America
have made me glad" Every time
eat the good food which your money
gives us, think of you in America
and am happy" ut is good of you
to go without that we may have"

rest? Are you doing anything fC:

PROSPERITY GOES
 WITH GOOD ROADS
Much Improvement Noticed Where New Highways
 Are Constructed

In what measure the vast corps of scouts, pathfinders and data experts of the automobile blue books work toward good roads development is known to few of the many thousands of motorists who annually tour by their printed instruc- tions
 Eleven months in the year these men are the Christopher Corumbuses of tour- ing. They are explorers, seeking the best roads, but finding the bad roads as well, so that tourists may know the best way 10 go from anywhere to somewhere else. They search out the treacherous, im- passable road with as much care as though it were c new boulevard highway. For them, which way the tourist should not go is as important as what road is newest and best. And so while they chart which roads are finest they make it obvious for the blue book tourist what roads are expensive in the operating cost of his car, in tire, fuel and general mechanical efficiency.
 Early last summer a party of these scouts marking the route between two principal cities a hundred miles apart found as iu previous years, there still was no proper highway. Rutty, stony dirt road, almost impossible in wet weather, was the only available trail.
 They spent several days visiting in large towns on what should have been the main route But nothing could be done with the boards of trade or cham hers of commerce. In almost every in- stance. the county powers winked know ingly and said that there would almost certainly be "a government post road comin through here pretty soon" and iefased. therefore, to he interested even

1 The Birmingham Trades Council sent a telegram to Samuel Gompers, presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor. yesterday, protesting against the tarring and feathering of William Hale. a negro organizer, here Friday night It is stated the telegrams Will also be sent to the congressman from this district and others in the capital city. Labor leaders assert that the work of last night was a blow at organized labor, and i. that 1t was the work of "gunmen,n and, that if government pro- lection is not given organized labor will be forced to protect themselves in their own way The local police and county authorities are scored in the tteIe- gram as "affording no protection" lection"
 A detail from the police department answered the call to collegeville i'm mediately Friday night, arriving . short time after the two organizers, the negro William Hale and white man Ed Crough, had been waited upon by the committee of citizens in automo- piles. The negroes left about the front of Taylors Hall could not or would not give any definite information on the subject
 The telegram sent to Gompers yes terday reads as follows:

though they admitted the value of i'm proved road as a feeder for produce and provision markets. The blue book scouts held council of war. The big towns were hopeless.
 The small towns were not logical They
 seemed not sufficiently prosperous to afford the necessary expense Nevertheless, they visited the small towns and arranged, after some diff
 culty, for a mass meeting of the farmers.
 When the conelave was held the blue
 book experts laid the proposition before them
 After discussion of three hours, dur ing which hundreds of questions were answered, the farmers voted to improve
 this road themselves, each being re- sponsible for a certain part of the work of reclamation, and all of 1t to be done according to a common plan.
 In the spring of this year, again chart ing the roads mentioned for the 1915 blue books the unimproved route through the larger towns was found to be as before.
 The lesser route built by the farmers themselves, was being made over, many sections in concrete. 1t is now vital section of highway, numerous new ho- tels are built or under waA the popu- lation of the towns shows tremendous increase and thousands of motorists, routed through this better highway by the blue, books, have virtually forced the construction of hotels, garages, stores, all of which are waxing pros- porous as q result of the building of the new road.
