ROADS TO PARK
in GOOD SHAPE
All Highways to the
Yellowstone Are
Excellent

Despite the heavy SHOWS and abun-
dant rains in the intermountain ter
ritory adjacent to Yellowstone ma
tional park, bulletins compiled by
highway and automobile associations
show that with possibly two excep-
tons all the roads approaching the
park are in excellent shape and i'm
proving steadily through the aid of
state and private contributions to
highway funds, according to the re-
ports of the information bureau of
Yellowstone national park. The ex-
ing north and northwest from south
ern Wyoming points to the south en-
trance of the Yellowstone by way of
the Wind river and Hogback can
yon, which cannot be negotiated by
cars until some time in July.
The roads in the park itself are
in unusually good condition. All Of
the passes have been cleared of
snow, except Dunraven, and it will
be open for traffic on June 23rd 1t
was necessary this year to clear
most of the park roads of snow, u.s.
ing a heavy snowplow attached to
caterpillar tractor.
All entrances to Yellowstone ma
tional park will be opened officially
on June Goth.
Officials of the great transconti
mental highways, the Yellowstone
trail and the National Parks high
way, have carefully inspected their
routes, and have just announced that
they are in good condition for tour
list travel.
Special efforts are being brought
to bear by the associations to have
their roads in better conditions this
year than ever before.

OVERALL CLUBS
ACROSS WATER
Suits Cost $500 in Paris
so Men Are Wear
ing Jeans
by Universal Service)


PARASITIC first 'overaller'
was NJ. Chodruc-Duclos. before the
French revolution known as Cho-
druc the Superb.
During the Restoration he fought
for the Bourbons, winning many bat
ties, and greatly distinguishing HIM
self. When the Bourbons returned
to power, however, they forgot their
friends in adversely and Chodruc-
Duclos went unrewarded.
In revenge, Chodruc the Superb
became "Chodruc, the Modern Diog-
enes.' Every day he paraded by
the Royal palace in the Tuilleries
gardens clad in the oldest and most
delapidated suit of one of his servi-
tors.
For forty years he wore only this
one suit, until it finally became such
thing of rags that Charles x had
him arrested for indecent conduct on
the public streets.
The example of the first overall
er" has been followed by Alexandra
Duval, Paris restaurant millionaire,
who has founded a club named after
the Modern Diogenes." It's men,
bers, who include hundreds of the
wealthiest bankers and business men
of Paris are pledged to wear for one
year only the cotton costume de-
signed by Duval, which, it is claimed,
is very Chic in appearance and
which only costs about 81.
The "back to poverty plan has
received a huge impetus by the new
French order forbidding the impor-
tation of cloths and tissues in order
to bolster up the falling franc.
Tailors' prices have increased IS
per cent since the order was promul-
gated, and when present stocks give
out the lowest price of tailor made
suit will be $500.
