State Board Of Health May Go A
Step Farther in Crusade
for Individual
Cups.

Des Moines, Iowa, May 22.-The
state board of health in its crusade
against the common drinking cup on
railroad trains may go a step farther
and declare war on the clothes of the
men who put the ice in the coach wa.
ter coolers at shop towns. 1t has
been represented to the board of
health that in many instances the
water tanks are filled by men who
wear oily, dirty clothes, whose hands
do not indicate that they have been
washed for weeks and who carry in
chunks of ice and dump them in the
ice water tanks from which the peo-
Pile drink without taking the trouble
to see that affairs are antiseptic. 1t
is not improbable that when the or
der is issued in July against the COM
mon drinking cup it will INCLUDE an
order for the cleaning up of the
clothes and hands of the ice man.

New Law PIeases.

College faculty members and
alumni of the three state schools are
said to be highly pleased with the in
tention OF the new board of education
to constitute the finance committee
of three a purely business commit
tee, as the name implies, and leave
all questions of policy, courses of
study and other vital matters either
to the presidents and faculty or to
the board Of nine.
1t is understood by those who have
talked to members of the board of
nine that one of the finance commit
tee shall have charge of buildings,
land and equipment, the second shall
handle all funds to the credit of the
schools, and that the third shall be
auditor and accountant.
Although members of the board are
reported as saying that there was
never any doubt or ambiguity as to
the intended duties of the finance
committee, there are some prominent
educators who declare the result of
this arrangement will be to give the
president and faculties of each school
almost unlimited authority, subject
only to the instructions of the board
Of nine. This board is to meet not
more than sixty days in each year.
These critics further say that the
very object of the central board was
to harmonic the development of the
three schools and prevent enthusiast
tic presidents and faculties from de-
parting from the lines laid down for
| each school.
After it's last meeting at Iowa City
the board Of nine reported that no
policies had been worked out and
some delicate and perplexing prob
lens are still to be settled. One will
be the determination of just how much
executive authority members of the
finance committe shall have and what
shall be their exact relations to the
| faculties of the state schools.

Judges Want Scholar.

Judges Want Scholar.
Delay in the appointment of sue
cessor to Prof B. F. Shambaugh as
curator of the state historical depart
ment, is said to be due to the wish of
the supreme court members to find
an experienced scholar to fill the
vacancy
Judge Deemer and other members
of the court are known to be am
bilious to make the historical museum
and library something more than a
popular museum. They want the
work carried on along scientific lines,
with more or less original research
work and classification of material
that cannot be made by an amateur.
This policy is understood to be at
the bottom of considerable opposition
to the appointment of Acting Curator
Harlan, who otherwise would be the
natural choice of Governor Carroh.
The appointment was to have been
made on May but the board adjourn
ed for a second meeting last Saturday,
which also failed to disclose the gov
ernor's choice.' Now the appoint
ment will not be made until the June
meeting.

victs must observe, inserted the

May Reduce Paper Money

Several important changes in
the designs OF the paper money OF
the country are soon TO take place.
Secretary McVeagh, Assistant Sec
rotary Norton and Director Ralph
Of the bureau OF engraving and
printing have under consideration
a general scheme for systematizing
the designs OF all issues OF paper
money in such a manner that the
same portraits and emblems will
appear on all notes OF the same de-.
nomination.

that a portrait OF the late Grover
Cleveland rs TO appear soon on all
$40. bills. Distinctive designs for
s., SIS, $40 and $50 bills, and per-
haps these OF even higher denomi-
nations have been prepared. ihe

ported. II the So hill is retained

such as to make il stand out from
a pile OF 81 and S. bills with a
prominence that viii permit Of no
mistake in IT'S handling.
Some treasury officials are in
clined to favor even a more radical
change, and recommend that paper
money be reduced to about the
size "a French and Italian notes
OF small denominations. These
notes are about three.h fths the
size OF the American kind and are
more convenient to.handle.

RAILROAD GRADE WORK
Is NOW BEING RUSHED UP
(From San Jon Sentinel.)

Work on the grade OF the Tu.
cumcari- Memphis is now being
pushed more than at any time
since the work began, and il is a
very conservative estimate oil time
to say that the grade work will be
completed by December first.
The steel gang are supposed to
begin work OF laying the rails
about the first week in September,
and by the time the grade is com.
pleted the steel will be on it.
In what are commonly called the
bad lands-between San Jon and
Tucumcati-now lies the heaviest
work and O'Connor, the contractor
is pushing the work Tor all there is
in It and says that the snow will
never catch him there for he will
have it completed by December is,
Mr.. Vaughan, the contractor
who had the most OF the work on
the east OF San Jon, has his con-
tract SO nearly finished that he
feels confident that he will have il
through by the first OF December
also. He now has only a lew
miles OF heavy work lett, the bal
ance OF his contract being ligh,
work. He has moved his camp
up between San Jon and Endee
and Is rushing his work Tor all
there is in il.
So, gradually the contractors
are moving toward each other and
according TO the reports they give
out they will be practically in one
camp by the first day Of December.
Then will be the finish ui the grade
work OF the great TucumcA ri- Mem
phis. Then will San Jon be a
