BOOKLET
LAUDS YANKS' WORK

PARIS, Aug. 2O.-Every American
soldier leaving France will carry
home with him a neatly printed little
booklet with his photograph on the in
side cover page as a gift of the French
government in appreciation of Amer
ica's great part in the war.
The booklets. including messages
from President Poincare, Marshals
Joffre and 'Foch, NJ. Clemenceau and
other distinguished Frenchmen, con-
tain an inspiring historic review Of
Americas effort by the side of her
allies in the battle for world liberty
They also present a number Of inter-
esting facts concerning France, which
the government asks them not to for
get in judging her in the years to
come.
It is pointed out that hfty-two
months Of violent war raging on
French soil has emphasized the frugal
attitude of the French. people about
money.
1T has led to a slight misunder-
standing in the dealings with foreign
ers. the booklets say.
The same was the case in 1917,
when the first large training camps
were established in the United States.
Considered retrOspectively, these
commercial imbositions lose their
significance. You do not care now
what price Lafayette and the French
expeditionary forces paid for chickens
in 17T6. You remember only that
these men valued an ideal more than
life. Liberty or Death were the
words which appeared on their ragged
shirts as they marched barefoot
through the snow. Their spirit, ever
living. impelled you to take part in
the war Of principle, which because Of
your very disinterestedness you have
carried on to victory"
Attention is called to the French
woman, and the Americans are asked
to remember that through all her
trials and in her desolatiOn you have
not heard her speak Of sacrihce."

HUNGRY ARTIST
LOOTS LAUNDRY

NEW YORK. Aug. 2O.-The meIan-
choly fact that artists must eat led
Arthur Reid. Of 273 West Eleventh
street, one Of the most talented of
the younger Greenwich Village ar
tistic set, into trouble. With an am
bition born OF a wish for three square
meals a day he started for Harlem
in search OF a job. When he reached
Hop Lees laundry at 319 West I45th
street he glanced through the win
dow and saw the front room was de-
serted. Reid entered and was help
ing himself from the cash drawer
when Hop Lee, attracted by the tink-
ling OF the door bell, came through
a passage from the rear.
DeNtrOusly lodging the hot iron
hurled at him by the laundryman, the
artist dashed through the door and
started up Eighth avenue with Hop
Lee in pursuit. After he had gone
two blocks he ran into the arms Of
PatrOlman Francis Schroeder, who
took him to the West 135th street
station, where $3.50 was found in his
trouser pocket. Later Reid pleaded
guilty TO a charge Of petit larceny
before Magistrate Schwab and was
held for special sessions in $500 bail.

FOR BLONDES AND BRUNETTEs
Expert Declares Brilliant colors Do
Not Accord With All Dark Com
plexions-For the Fair.

All beliefs to the contrary, an ex-
pert declares that brilliant colors,
such as red and gold, do not accord
with all brunettes. To brunettes with
a delicate complexion and brown eyes
pale blue, periwinkle blue and Chinese
rose are much more advantageous.
When the skin is tinted more with
orange than yellow 1t can be made
roseate by neutralizing the yellow
tinge. Yellow, especially maize color,
produces this effect upon the black
haired and chestnut-haired types and
In this case suits only the brunettes.
Blondes, however. should avoid all
yellow tints that more or less resemble
the color of their hair. To the light
haired girl all blues. from navy to the
llghtest shade, are eminently suitable.
To the maid with golden blond locks
or sandy hair the intermediate colors,
such as dark violet and ruby red are
becoming. Their compilations are gen
orally SC fresh that the juxtaposition

of these colors with their fresh tint
produces a most effective contrast.
Blondes with flaxen hair and delicate
compilations will. enhance the charm
Of their appearance by dressing In
gray. pale blue and similar dainty
cOlors. Light chestnut hair is set of
by the same tint as Is the blond hair.
AS for other colors not mentioned,
delicate green looks well with all fair
compilations that are pale, but 1t is not
becoming to compilations that are more
red than rosy nor those that are at all
sallow. To the last mentioned cast
Of skin dark green will be less OBJ,
jectionable than delicate one.

PLANS FOR ROAD
ARE APPROVED
Federal Authorities Approve Pick
ensviIle Road Specifications.

The United States Department Of
Good Roads has approved plans and
specifications for the PickensviIle
road which will soon be improved
with government aid. This informa-
tion came officially to Mr.. F. NJ.
Vaughn, chairman of the road COM
mission, which has charge of the Pick
ensville road project.
This means that work will begin
on the construction of the road just
as soonas bids can be received and
contracts awarded. 1t is expected
that the board of supervisors will au-
thorize the commissioners to ask for
bids at the July meeting this week.
Under the plans and specifications
the Federal aid will equal the amount
to be expended by the district which
is $4,000, the amount having been
authorized in a special election held
some weeks ago.
The plans call for the improvement
of the Pickensville road from a point
northeast of the Thomas place to the
Alabama State line, a distance of
nearly eight miles.
1t is expected that the road will
be constructed and ready for use
by early fall. The commissioners of
the district are Messrs. H. L. Davis,
f. Randle and Dr. F. NJ. Vaughn.
