"LEcho de Paris" Miss Perry's
children's portraits are particularly
successful.
An interesting aviator head is
that of Jean Pierre WELLER. which
recalls the fact that NJ. weiller's
father and two brothers have all
distinguished themselves in aero
nautics. the father by providing mon
ey to promote Wilbur Wrights ex-
periments years ago, and the sons
by important flying services dur
ing the war, for which they re-
ceived countless medals.
Miss Perry, who crossed on the
steamer with Marshal Foch, did not
forget her military salute as a
former ambulance driver when she
greeted the French marshal with
the words. "Je vous presente mes
devoirs," and then they discussed

Chivalry Not Dead AutO=
 mobile Tourist Discovers

A little man driving big car, both we'll known in Shreveport, are con- vinced that there is one place in the world not far from Shreveport where "the people realize the war is over" to use his expression, and that all chiv- airy is not dead.
 This man went fishing up around Ashdown, Ark. On the way back he dis covered repair job was necessary for the welfare of the motor. He stopped at blacksmith shop-garage the job was done-it was not simple one-and the price asked.
 "Well-l-r the owner of the estab- lishment drawled as he scratched his head in thought, reckon I'll have to charge you about fourbits.
 A few miles further on necessity for another and more intricate and not very cool or neat job developed. It took this mechanic about 15 minutes of sweating greasy work.
 The tourist, when he recovered from the shock, paid the man the dime he thought was right and left, still dazed.
 A bad stretch of road demanded a tow from a farmer with a pair of mules. "Therell be more than one tow before I get out of this stretch. You stay with me and I'll pay you what ever's right at the end. the tourist bar gained.
 After the first tow there wasn't any more but at the end of the bad stretch the auto waited some time for the farmer to catch up.
 "How much for pulling me ont and the three mile walk"
 Nothing"
 He was paid anyhow but the autoist hasn't recovered from the shock yet Shreveport Times.

County Judge Buys Car
 Will Cause Litigation

It was learned this week that the purchase of an automobile recently by County Judge P. M. McCord and paid for out of certain road funds will result in litigation on the part of cer- tain citizens through their attorneys J. R. Morrell and Reynolds & Steel. It is said that warrants amounting to something over $1100 have been allow cd by Judge McCord and paid out through the county treasurer as pub lie road expense in payment for the car. The attorneys have taken steps to appeal from the allowance of these claims on the grounds that public funds cannot lawfully be used for the purchase of car to be used by the county judge. It is understood hat the fund on which the warrants were drawn was a road or highway fund derived from state license on automo- piles, a portion of which is turned back to the county to be apportioned among the various road districts. Ear Tier during his administration Judge McCord purchased Dodge car out of the county general fund to be used by him in looking after the work on the county roads. The car now purchased is a Buick. The contention of the judge is that car is necessary part of the road equipment. The complain ants through their attorneys would contend that there is no law that would 1egalize such a purchase, and that the county treasurer and his bondsmen can be held liable for the amount Of such warrants paid out.
 It is also learned that the prosecut- ing attorney will file an appeal from the allowance of the claims.
