The : highway is 140 feet wide -and eight miles long. Its building was entrusted to eight contractors, and soldiers were used as laborers. A® the work- progressed houses, mastly belenging to the poor,” were razed @nd their owners were di- rectéd to apply to the municipality for compensation. At the same time the value of lands bordering th road soared and propor- tienately fine homes were built along the various sections, ‘When the contractors finished, however, it was discovered that they had not cooperated and the oight single miles of road did not hook up. Some sections failed to teuch by ten feet. New houses went the way of the old and the wvalue of the lots on which they #toed fell to mothing. +~ A-university professor lost one of:the new houses.

The furniture ot the ¥m- pire and Directoire perfods of France is now being replaced in many homes by the bric-a-brac salvaged from Colonial mansions of the United States. Practically every transatlantic liner which touches France now carries a heavy cargo of chairs, tables and bureaus, all dating back to Revolutionary days. Martha Washington tables and the spinning- wheels of the Priscilla Dean variety are particularly popular as furnish- ings in ultra-fashionable French homes. According to interior-decorators here a strange interchange is taking place between America and France, ‘While Colonial objects from the United States are being imported here, France is shipping away great quantities of its Empire and Direc- toire styles of furniture to’ meet the craze for historical antigues in the United States. Although many homes in Paris are now being fitted throughout in the style of American Colonial days, the predominant idea tends towards the furnishing of a single room so as to reminiscent of an American period while the remainder of the house is decorated with French upholstery, SMOKING FOR SQUAWS ONLY AFTER MARRIAGE Indian Maiden May Shorten Hair or Skirts But Tobacco Ts Banned Till Nuptial Day Glacier Park, Mont, May 17 (UP.)—The Tidian girl on the Gla- cier National Park reservation may follow her white sister in bobbing her hair and shortening her skirts, but she may not smoke until she is | married.

Officially, the girl then, and only then, gets her first Whiff of to- bacco, first hand. 1f, after the marriage ceremony, the girl desires to change from pipe | {o cigarette, that is her privilege. Most of the squaws make that change, preferring cigarettes to pipes, but they always start on a pipe. It's an old tribal custom strictly adhered to. Bizarre Bead Necklaces | Fashionable This Spring | Paris, May 17 (#—Mixed coral afld jade, or their imitation, are among th recent necklace fads. It is considered more chic to string beads hit or miss than to put first a pink and then a green. Women are picking up stray beads in antique and Oriental shops with a view to stringing their neck- laces according to their own jdeas, 0dd sizes as well as mixed colors are in vogue. Clouded amber and clear amber are in demand to combine for chok- er strings .Ivory beads and amber are another combination in use, WHEN IN HARTFORD DINE WITH US. | Don’t forget to take home | some Maryland oysters and fresh crackers. HONISS’S 22 §t: -~ 8¢, Hartford, Conn. (Under Grant's Stove) PARIS 0 EXPAND ANINAL CEMETERY Cats and Dogs Lie in “Most Beautiful Burying Place” Paris, May 17. (UP)—The Cat and Dog Cemetery of Paris, known as the most beautiful burial place in the world for animals, is to be enlarged. The desire of many French people to inter their pets in a manner befitting a béloved one has crowded the graveyard with mausoleums, monuments and tomb. stones until expansion has become necessary. This cemetery, which was found- ed 29 years ago, is locdted O & little island on the Seine, just out- side the gates of Paris. It has its caretakers who tend the perpetual plots, keep the tomb-stones and monuments clean and who dig the graves. They live in a little house on one side of the graveyard. Here also may be found catalogues of sculptured monuments and stone vaults. A burial at this pet cemetery, al. though simple and without bene gy, Is always impressive, There is no music, no graveside eulogy. There is only the simple ceremony of solemnly lowering & tiny coffin, containing the remains of a Siamese cat or a French poodle, into a grave while the be- reaved master looks solemnly on. Although many of the animals are buried in zinc coffins, covered with black cloth and trimmed with silver, the pets of peorer peaple are interred in humbler . caskets. For 35 francs a burial will be made ang’ for a few francs more a wooden coftin may be obtainéd. For.a few hundred francs the - ground will be reserved for many years te th canine or feline body beneath it, And a head-stoge will he provided,: For 3,000 francs a perpetual plot { may be purchased. All 6f the tomb-stofes bear theé name, date of birth and death of: the deceased. inscriptions of others are even poems of eulogy. . In connection with the proposed. enlargement of the cenfetery, it has been suggested that a crematorium be erected s0 that thase whe so wished could have their annual; friends incinerated. Plansto em< bellish the graveyard futther also’ are being considered and {t:is prob-! able that the enlargement will bej marked by the erectjon. of more; fountains and the ‘planting of trees. “Jugo-Slavia” May Be Official Name of .Land | Belgrade, May 17 (¥—The term’ “Jugo-Slavia,” commonly applied to what is' officially “The’ Kingdom of_ the Serbs, Croats and Slovenea,” was given its first mention by a states- man in his official capacity recently.
