Making of Jewelry Pleasing
Diversion and Source of
Some Income.

Metal work in jewelry has become
within a few years A popular VOCATION
and d vocation with both men and
women. Not only society persons work
out their own designs, but many men
and women with other occupations
through the day produce effective orna-
ments in their odd evenings and holi-
days.
men and women wko have shops and
make il their business to work in gold
and silver as well as in the coarser
metals. Some jewelry stores keep a
small, but usually disappointing stock
of hard-wrought articles, and the ORR
entail shops are rich IN all sorts and
and kinds of handmade adoTnments
which il usually takes fat purse TO
compass.
For use with tailor-mades- the sturdy
hand-wrought necklace with a stone
giving a CLEAN or more of the right

are for more delicate costumes.

chased pendants set with big semi
precious stones, such as the amethyst,
sardonyx, opal. turquoise, lapis-lazuli.

Nav Paste Million Posters.

Artists, billposters, printers, paper
manufacturers and tuberculosis fight
ers are all united in a gigantic crusade
against tuberculosis which is about to
be started under the direction of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. In
addition to the gifts of free space on
billboards and free printing of posters
made by the Associated Billposters
and Distributors of America and the
Poster Printers Association, several
hundred paper manufacturers have
given paper for the posters to the
value of several thousand dollars, and
artists from all over the United States
are contributing sketches for posters,
free of charge. The local, state and
national anti-tuberculosis associations
will see that the posters are placed
in cities and towns where they are
most needed.
The posters are nine feet long and
seven feet wide and will be printed in
several colors. If sufficient paper is
procured a million will be pasted up.
The value of these various contribu-
tions would reach fully 100000 If
paid for at commercial rates.

RECTOR OF UNIVERSITY THINKS
TIMES AFFIDAviTS RASED
ON PURE FICTION.
SECUTED BY EXPERTS
oISTINGUlSHED COMMITTEE
NAMED TO EXAMINE DR..
COOKS RECORDS.

Copenhagen.-Dr. Torp. rector OF
the University of Copenhagen, said
Thursday that the charges published
in the New York Times against DR..
Frederick A. Cook are based on pure
fiction.
Nevertheless, he added. he would
accept the offer to examine the docu-
ments prepared by Loose and Dunkle,
which the Times has agreed to send
to Copenhagen.
Walter Lonsdale, secretary to DR..
Cook, who brought the explorers rec
ords to Copenhagen, also declares that
the accusation published in New York
and London against DR.. Cook were to-
tally unfounded.
He said that the papers delivered
to the University of Copenhagen con
tanned the original observations made
without alterations.
Mr.. Lonsdale stated further that
the explorers report was founded on
these and dictated by DR.. Cook to him
no other person having anything to
do with it.
Loose and Dunkle, Mr.. Lonsdale
added, were guests at the Waldorf
Astoria during DIR. Cooks stay there,
but the explorers acquaintance with
them was slight.
The committee which will examine
DR.. Cooks records is composed Of
the following: President, Prof. Ellis
Stromgren, director of the astronom-
ical observatory; DIR. C. F. Pechule,
astronomer attached to the observa-
tory; Gustave Holm, explorer; Prof.
A. B. Yensen, president of the school
of navigation; DR.. Royder, director of
the meteorological office, and DR.. F.
A. Engstrom, director of the Lund OBJ
servatory.
A summary of the affidavits of per-
sons claiming to have aided DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook in the preparation of his
polar data, published in London and
New York. was read here with amaze
ment. Scientific circles are inclined
to be incredulous regarding the
charges and some persons like Dr.
Carl Burrau, the astronomer, consider
lueln lhdI lhCii CiAoSS
will be to strengthen confidence in Dr..
Cook.
In an interview DR.. Burrau said:
Passages in the story telegraphed
here give me the impression that the
matter is thoroughly untrustworthy.
Take, for instance, the statement
about Capella. Capella neither rises
nor sets in the polar regions, but re-
mains fixed over the horizon. In or
der to make observations at the North
pole, a more extended and more de-
tailed knowledge is necessary than is
enjoyed usually by the average ships
captain.
''It will, however, be easy for the
university to determine the truth or
otherwise of the charges"

Gugsenheim Works for Buildings a
GIenwood and Other Towns.

Washington.-All of the members of
the Colorado delegation in Congress
answered to the roll calls in the Sem
ate and House at the opening of the
session December 9th excepting Rep
resentative Rucker, who had not
reached here from his vacation trav-
els.
During the session Senator Guggen-
helm of Colorado will concentrate his
efforts to secure the passage of his
bills for appropriations for public
buildings at Glenwood Springs, Mont
rose and Durango, and to enlarge the
public building at Colorado Springs;
to grant lands for public park pur-
poses to cities and towns of Colo
rado; to provide for instruction in for
estry in agricultural colleges; to pen
sion the surviving members of the
Forsythe Scouts organization; to re-
store the pensionable status of the
Third Colorado cavalry; to establish
a Subtreasury at Denver.
Bills have been introduced for
these and other important measures
by Senator Guggenheim or are soon
to be introduced. 1t looks as if there
would be a large number of measures
proposed at this session of Congress
that will be of immense interest and
benefit to the Centennial State.
