George Smith is one of the good
natured fellows who shoves gold bars
into the jaws of the stamp at the
government mint in Denver and sees
the thing spit out $50 gold pieces. He
says he works in the mint because
there is money in it. But that is an
old one. and no laugh is expected.
Smith was rubbing up against some
of the sure thing wise ones at the
Albany and by some accident a an
guine republican drifted in and was
trying to get some one to bet with
him on the presidential election.
Well" said Smith. I'm not much of
a sport. but 1 will bet you a sawbuck
that Billy will be elected this fall"
You're on said the strong republi-
can, who couldn't see any other Billy
but Bryan, and the money was put UP.
Now, then" said Smith, you must
understand that I am working for the

NO, I want to have him arrested for

is this way: He. whoever he is, drift

Sideli8hts From Denver


Denver, Colo. July 81
In the lobby of the Albany hotel
is a girl behind counter selling tick
cts to the concert with which the Au-
ditorium. where the convention will be
held will be formally opened. A man
stepped in front of the counter TO
getting a shine.
Buy a ticket to the opening of the
Auditorium" asked the girl.
Guess not" replied the man.
Don't YOU want to see the interior
of Denver's fine, new, big building"
mo"
'Do you live in Denver?"
Yes"
Well" said the girl sternly, you
don't seem to show much interest in
the town. Aren't you fooling? Don't
you really want to see the inside Of
the Auditorium"
NO, 1 don't" said the man. I've
been working in that building for the
past six months. 1 know almost every
brick in it,
Mayor Dahlman met Nurse Lynch of
the Johnson boom in the Albany lobby.
Hello, Lynch" said the cowboy
mayor, you're a game sport-youve
never picked a loser before. Why are
you tied up to one now?''
.'Iu admit" replied Lynch, that our
prospects aren't the very best, but say
what's the matter with you? You've
been tied up to a loser for twelve years
and it looks as though you're going to
stav tied to a loser for some time to
come"
They were both good natured about
it. At least, they were in a place Of
saturation a few minutes later, each
with a smile"

Colonel Legrand T. Meyer. who is

MAvAL wAaFARE 81 FvTvRE.

High explosives are destined 70 play
far more important part in future
warfare than they have played In the
past There are three ways BY which
high explosives may be brought to
bear upon the warships Of an enemy
Tor their destruction. One Is IN the
bursting charge Of the high explosive
armor-piercing projectiIe; another Is
in the submarine torpedo, either IN
the stationary submarine mine or the
seIf-propelled torpedo Of which latter
the Whitehead Is the principal type;
and the other is in aerial torpedoes,
huge projectiles carrying charges OF
half a ton OF high explosives, drop
ped upon and about the warships OF
an enemy.
During the last decade the principal
progress In the use Of high explosives
has been 10 the perfecting OF bursting
charges for armour-piercing projec.
tiles; and today we are able to IRE

A rather striking demonstration Of
the supreme value Of newspaper al
vertising over All other kinds is given
BY the Bureau OF Navigation. which
spent last year $4,000 in advertising
for recruits for the navy says The
Washington I'd. CD Herald It was
determined 10 spend a similar sum
this year, but before letting the con
tracts the bureau thought Il advisable
to find out where it had received the
best returns for its money. An in-
yestigation showed that all magazine
and periodical advertising produced
from one-fifth to one-sixteenth the re-
turns in enlisted men the daily news
paper advertising did. The most
profitable line OF advertising was that
under Help Wanted BY using the
the daily newspapers the Bureau OF
Navigation got recruits at an advertis-
Ing cost,.cf 1886 each as against SIT
70 s65 each through the medium Of
certain magazines and journals.
There is IN this investigation BY the
Bureau Of Navigation and its results
a most striking lesson for commerce
and industry, which depends for their
profits on being known Of the people
Il Is obvious why the newspaper Of
fers so much more profitable field
than any other medium. Part Of the
people may read this magazine. part
may read that but in this day and
age practically the entire population
OF the country reads the daily news
papers, and goes to il for advice and
help.

ance In the classic was no nuke. She
eliminated in turn the best women

4 qualifying score Of 95. the Fall River
golfer did not appear as a formidable
barrier TO the aspirations OF leading
women golfers. All excelled her In the
initial competition. Miss Harley did
not secure mention among the quail
f1ers, 1s women having better scores.
The match round competition told
different tale, however, and brought
ont the remarkable resourcefulness or
this new star among golfing women oil
the country. In the first match round
Miss Harley put out Miss X A. Town
