' A NEW SCHOOL DESK.
Provides Support for the chiId's Back,
 Where It ls Most Needed.

In the belief that proper seating facilities play an important part in the welfare of school children. George w. Ehler, supervisor of physical training. and Director of Schools Charles Orr worked until they have perfected what they believe is the best seat and desk in the country. says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The seat is constructed according to Ehler's own plans and is based upon an exhaustive set of measurements made by him last year in the schools. It provides support for the child's back, where it is most needed, at the base of the spinal column and the small of the back. Another stropg point is that the seat proper is pitched backward only slightly, keeping the body at a restful angle. Both seat and desk are adjustable. The new desks are being installed In all the new buildings and grow in favor wherever put.
 Until the perfection of Ehlers i'm proved seat there were two forms of desk used in the, schools. The first was the old-fashioned desk, not ad- unstable at all. and made in unvary. ing sizes for the different grades. It presupposed that all children in the same grade would be of a size.
 Then came the so-called ''liver-pad' desk. The back of the seat in this style Of desk consisted of a single concave rest, to be placed at that point where the child's back most needed support. This was faulty in two respects. In the first place it was narrow and held the child's body In vise-like grip and in the second it gave support at only one point, where as the spine requires support at sev- eral points.

and hangers-on Of various kinds I reduced the payments for legislation to system, instead of the shameless, scandal-creating and wasteful auc. tioneering that had been going on for years.
 In fact, so cheaply did run the machine that I saw 1t would be most imprudent to let my clients have the full benefit. Cheapness would have made them uncontrollably greedy and exacting, and would have given them wholly false idea of my value as soon as it had slipped their short memories how dearly they used to pay.
 So I continued to make heavy as- sessments, and put the surplus in reserve fund for emergencies. I thought, for example, that I might some day have trouble with one or more members of my combine; my re serve would supply me with the muni- tions for forcing insurgents to return on their agreements.
 This fund was in no sense part of my private fortune. Nowhere else, I think, do the eccentricities of con- science show themselves more inter- estingly than in the various attitudes of the various political leaders to- ward the large sums which the exig- encies of commercialized politics place absolutely and securely under their control. I have no criticism for any of these attitudes.
 I have lived long enough and practi- cally enough to learn not to criticize the morals of men any more than I criticize their facial contour or their physical build. "As many men, so many minds"-and morals. Wrong, for practical purposes, is that which man can cajole or compel his con- science to approve.
 It so happened that had d sense that to use my assessments for my private financial profits would be wrong. Therefore, my private for tune has been wholly the result at the opportunities which came through my intimacy with Roebuck and such others of the members of my cambine as were personally agreeable-or, perhaps it would be more accurate to say, not disagreeable, for, in the cir cumstances, I naturally saw side of those men which friend must never see in a friend. I could not help having toward most of these distin- guished clients of mine much the feeling his lawyer has for the guilty criminal he is defending.

THE SIGN OF THE FouR.n

THE SIGN OF THE FOUR"
 One of the best performances of the summer season is at the Jacques where Polls own stock company is playing "The Sign of the Four" this week. The Sherlock Holmes drama has a number of refined thrills in every act, aHd the cool crafty detec- tive deducts solution for many mys- teries which baffies the wits of Scot land Yard detectives. ''The Sign of Four" is made by four imprisoned characters who attempt to steal a fortune. They are imprisoned and one of them escapes and murders the man who has the treasure. There are plots and counter plots in plenty when Sher- solves them all.. There IS q great cli- max at the end of the third act where Holmes escapes from keg of pow der on which he has been tied and which Is soon to blow hlm up. He gets loose and saves the girl whom the. ex-convict is about to abuuct. The company does splendid work Ill the piece, Richard Gordon as the famous English detective, giving convincing and praiseworthy performance. He loks the part, too, and gets q flatter- ing reception at each performance. Miss Edna Bruns plays the role of the orphan girl, Mary Morston, who in herits the great fortune and gives fine performance. Miss Jane Tree, James Mailaidy, Harry Driscoll and George O. Nichols have excellent roles. Illustrated songs and travel pictures make the waits between the acts short. Popular prices.

 But surely you are not against me and for Schoolcraft? What has he done for you?"

How rarely are our impulses of generosity anything but impulses to folly, injustice and wrong!

He succeeded in rallying round him enough mem bers to deadlock the party caucus for a month-members from the purely rural districts, where the sentiment oi loyalty is strongest, where his piety and unselfishi devotion to the party were believed in, and his significance as statesman" I let this deadlock continue-41 for Dunkirk, fl for Schoolcraft-untilI I felt that the par ty throughout the state was heartily sick of the struggle.

 After four days of balloting there seven Dominick-Croffut men voted for me-my first appearance as candi' date.

WILL SAVE ABOUT
70 PER CENT IN LAMBS
Says Manager Taber of the Glorieta
Live Stock company--Uses
Tents for First Time.

Walter NJ. Taber, manager of the
Glorieta Mercantile and Live Stock
Company, spent yesterday and today
with his family in this city. He has
just returned from the sheep herds
owned b the company. These are To-
Gated few miles east of Moriarty
and lambing has been going on since
The 9Th of May. A number of lambs
we're lost during the recent cold spell
and snow storms. Mr.. Taber hopes
to secure an increase of 70 per cent
which under present circumstances is
doing we'll For the first time in this
Territory Mr.. Taber tried the expert
nent OF using what is called lamb
ing tents He has three of these in
order TO experiment on small scale
and he found that they were very
good, Not lamb born under these
tents was lost and during one cold
snowy night he saved G5 lambs which
were born then and which he thinks
would have died surely had they not
had shelter. During the next year he
expects to try the experiment on a
large scale and to have sufficient
tents for all the ewes to be lambed.
The lambing will be over about the
end of the month Grass and water
in south Santa Fe and northeastern
Torrance Counties are good and no
losses of yearlings or older sheep
have occurred. Mr.. Taber left this
afternoon for Glorieta and will then
