FAMOUS OLD FRENCH ROAD OBLITERATED

Erased completely from the crest Of the hill along which it extended, the his- tcric Chemin des Danes is now but name in the romantic story of France.
 The greater portion of this highway. along which many American troops re- ceved their training and which figured so conspicuously in war accounts. has disappeared. Back and forth across this ridge the contending armies fought throughout the war, untl. the famous ladies road was virtually obliterated. Only huge craters. great mounds of earth covered with woods and crumoling con crete ramparts now mark where the tree ftinged course lay.
 Gone also, are the numerous little villages that bordered the road before the war and returning residents are being urged to seek other places of habltation.

VIRGINIA PLANS MOV|E' ID SHOW
 ROADS BENEFIT Film Should Create New Conception of Highway as
 a Public Utility

Washington, May S.-A highway educa- l tonal enterprise has been launched in l Virginia never before attempted by any | state, according to highway officials and others connected with the better road movement Gen. C.. c. Vaughan, Jr., l president of the Virginia Good Roads | Associa ton, and D. B. Ryland of Lynch l burg, secretary, have contracted for the | production of a film to be entitled, ''Vir- | ginia's New Hour" in which an effort l w;ll be made to get before the public complete revaluation of the state in the minds and heart of the people, and to create a new conception of the h1gnway as a public utility.
 The significance of this enterprise high way authorities say is nationwide. Other states have taken steps to over haul their highway laws and their con- struction and maintenance methods but 1t has remained for Virginia to take the lead in one of the most comprehen- sive and far-reaching studies of the high way and it's relation to all walks of fse ever undertaken.
 SHOW ROAD IN ACTION
 For years, says General Vaughan, "gcod roads advocates have talked about what better highways will do. Tn "vir- girias New Hour" we propose 10 show the modern road in action, and to demon- strate it's beneficial effects not only upon our commercial and industrial ar- tvites, but upon the whole range of ifs- social, religious and educational, taking in all walks of high and low degree
 "One of the fundamental points We are striving for is to turn the tide of youth back to the farm We realize the mag nitude of the task have assumed, and we hope to set in motion forces that VII in due time result in placing a cheek upon the disproportion between the pro- gress of the fields and that of the cities, between that of industries and that of ag- rculture. As we see it, the old type Of earth road is at the bottom of the trouble, and we hope in the scope we are taking in "Virginias New Hour" to bring to the people of Virginia new and higher conception of what the road means to their prosperity and happiness and to the future development of our state.'
 The film is being produced under the authorship and personal supervision of James w. Brooks. director of the eoucu- tional bureau federal highway council Washington. D. c.
 Educational institutions of the states will have a place in the film and student bodies will be asked to take part in sta ging the dramatic features necessary to correct portrayal of "Virginia's New Hour" Virginia towns and cities, and also leading industries. will appear the screen as part of the general plan to show how far the state has advanced i1 some respects in contrast to woeful lack of progress on the roads.

Here's an editorial from the latest is- sue of the Ladies Home Journal. It is regarding the national highways and our lack of them; the part that national high ways should play in the growth and de velopment of country; how the county and state roads lean on the national high ways and form a part of them. It's a ccrkng good editorial, interesting to motor men and interesting to anyone else who has the welfare of the nation at heart.
 The last line of this editorial is. Get your own congressman busy now" If every district could succeed in doing that very thing, perhaps the national high ways would show some progress.
 But for the editorial. Read 1t:
 County roads. and state highways are vital to easy transportation, and transportation is vital to d host of things-to farming and mining, to for esting and manufacture, to market ing, to education, to churchgoing to necessary recreation, to social con- tact, to civilization. But these roads iwll never take form until they are assured entry into national highways any more than the blood vessels cah function without the great arteries and veins which feed and drain them; than the muscles can function with out a sturdy skeleton on which to work.
 The arteries of transportation, the skeleton to which the state and coun- ty roads, like muscles. are pinioned, are the national highways, as yet only half-heartedly devised. The local roads will never exist in satisfactory
 form until the federal network is con
 structed. It ought to exist in rock ballast and smooth surfacing instead of ink and paper.
 We want cheaper products. Why not get them by developing local as
 well as long-haul transportation?
 We want our children to get the best
 schooling. Why hamper them by making communication difficult? We
 want contact with the next town. Why not get it by building it instead
 of signing for 1t? All the Valor and
 wealth and devotion of the allied armies would have been impotent had it not been for the great routes na- tionales of France and the depart mental and communal roads which in- terlace them We talk of prepared ] ness against attack. All the troops

The date for the ship truck dem ontsration to Birmingport has been changed to May 27, according to an an- noGncement made yesterday by Kelly E. Spencer, state manager of the Fire stone ship -by-truek bureau.
 The change in date was deemed nec- essary because of the fact that the original date was Saturday, and it was felt that more mercantile firms could spare their trucks for a parade if the date was changed. Hence, the parade will be made on Thursday, May 2.
 Six Birmingham clubs or associations have decided to join in this ship by truck demonstration and make it the biggest affair of the kind ever staged in the south. The Birmingham Auto mobile Club the Chamber of Com merce, the Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, Civitan Club and Comunity Club have joined in for days outing. With the addition of all these clubs it can be seen that the ship by truck demonstra- ticn is really reaching gigantic pro- portions.
 The barbecue idea at Birmingport las been eliminated from the plans of the committee in charge and other en- tertainments will be arranged later.
 Ship by Truck to the Entire World by Way of Warrior River Through Br- ningport,' is a slogan which soon will greet your eye. The chances are that it will be carried by every motor truck in the city. As they say in Battle Creek, There's a reason.'
 Ship-by-truck and good roads week will be observed all over the country during the week of May 16-22. On the final day. May 22, there will be a big ship-by-truck demonstration from Bir- mingham to Brmingport. It is expected that fully 800 motor trucks will form this parade which will make the trip to Br- ningport.
 Warrior river and Birmingport afford this city shipping advantages which other cities do not possess, and it is for the purpose of impressing this fact upon the minds of the people in forceful manner that this gigantic demonstration heen planned.
 HAVE STRONG APPEAL
 Coming as it does upon the heels of the railroad strike and the proposed 30 per cent increase in freight rates by the rail- roads, this "ship-by-trucl1" demonstra- tion should have a very strong appeal
 Joint rail and water rates are said to be 20 per cent less than all-rail rates. Thusly, one can at glance just

what saving the Warrior river and Bir- mingport should be to the people of Bir- mingham One instance is sighted where stockholder in the Port of Birmingham Company subscribed and paid for $5, 900 in stock. This stockholder ordered one ship ment of bulky raw material to be deliv- cred via Warrior river. He saved ex- actly 5000 on 4,000 tons of freight. There will be plenty of other shipments, and 1t ooesnt take much figuring to show where he will more than pay for his stock in this enterprise in short time.
 BENEFIT OF SAVINGS
 Just as soon as the l20 steel containers are finished and the self-propelled barges to carry them are in commission the package freight service will be inaugu- rated, and the individual citizen will get the benefit of the savings on his sugar, coffee, rice, molaSses. packing house pr oducts shipped down the Mississippi and up the Warrior.
 It is for the purpose of demonstrating how practical it is to get freight in.9 Birmingham from the Warrior river thai this ship -by-truck'' demonstration has been arranged. A short haul over a good road-thats what it is oerween Bir- mfngport and Birmingham, and the truck dealers and operators want to show the people just how easily it can be done.
 Truck dealers, of course, will have their trucks Tn thl smammoth parade But 1t will not be limited to them Truck own CTS and operators will be invited to get into the game. Kelly B. Spencer, man aser of the Alabama ship by y-truck bu- reau, has sent out letters to all of the manufacturing and mercantile concerns of this city, inviting them to enter their trucks in the parade and assist in mak- ing it one grand demonstration
 GOOD ENOUGH REASON
 Ship-by-truck demonstrations will be made all over the country during the week of May Is, but perhaps in no other city is there such a perfectly sane req son for having a big showing as there is here. The completion of Birmingport and the road leading from Birmingham to that place, along with the completion of barges and the general opening of water traffic on the Warrior river, are enough good reasons why the ship-by- truck demonstration here should eclipse that held any place else.
 Rely B. Spencer has held similar ship by-truck dem onstra tions this month in Mobile, Montgomery, Dothan, Troy and other cities in the state, and has wonder fui success everywhere. He returned dur ing the past week from his state cam paign, and will devote the remainder of
