Stirring Scenes at Election.
Amid scenes of wild partisan strife
never before witnessed in the his
tory of the organization. Mrs. E1a
Flagg Young, superintendent of the
Chicago public schools, yesterday
was elected president of the National
Educational association. Her cleo
ton followed a stampede of the con-
vention in the New Old South church
at noon.
Although the nominating commit
tee had reported the name of z. X.
Snyder, superintendent of the Colo
rado State Normal school, as it
choice for the presidency by a vote
of % to 19, the supporters of Mrs.
Young arose at the. eleventh hour
and forced her election after Miss
Catherine L. Blake of New York had
nominated her in an eloquent speech
from the floor.
Substituted Name.
The tense moment of the conven-
tion arrived when it was moved that
the name of Mrs. Young be substi-
tuted for that of DR.. Snyder in the
report of the nominating committee.
Everywhere throughout the big audi
teFigm Ife4sgates- demanded hearing
and it was with difficulty that Presi-
dent Joyner restored order.
Finally after the excitement sub
sided the motion was placed before
the convention. By a vote of 617
to $40 the minority report was sub
stituted. By a viva voce vote the
Chicago candidate was elected, after
c. S. Forbes of Reading, Pa, the
leader of the Snyder forces, had Wig
orously opposed a motion to instruct
the secretary to cast one electing bal
lot.
Other Officers Chosen.
James Y. Joyner, the retiring pres
ident was elected first vice presi-
dent P. w. Sprague of Washington

SPECIAL COURSE
IN FORESTRY
BY THE COLORADO SCHOOL OF
FORESTRY OF COLORADO
COLLEGE,.
RANGERS TO ATTEND
INCLUDES EIGHT WEEKS OF PRAc'
CAL OUTDOOR WORK AT
MANITOU PARK.

Denver-Prof. Walter j. Morrill,,
acting Dean of the Colorado School of
Forestry, connected with Colorado Col
lege at Colorado Springs, has set on
foot movement for a special course
in forestry covering a period of ten
weeks, beginning January 11th. 1910,
that promises to outdo anything ever
attempted in the line of forestry edu-
cation in the West.
OF this course the Republican says:
An important feature of the under
taking Is, that the officials of Uncle
Sans Forest Service, are cooperating
with the dean, and have designed six
ty members OF the forest rangers and
guards to attend the course, which has
been prepared by the professor with
especial reference to the greatest pos
sible practical benefit for the class OF
students to be in attendance.
The first two weeks are to be spent
in the class room at the Springs, and
eight weeks in the woods at Manitou
Park, where students will be brought
face to face with forestry in its prac-
tical reality, where study, experiment
tation and work will be carried on
hand in hand. Here the course will
embrace some of the features of the
Biltmore school.
Arrangements have been made at
the Park for all necessary conven-
fences and comfort of students while
in the woods. Glass rooms, laboratory,
library, sleeping apartments and COM
missary, all well equipped will be in
waiting. These students will receive
from the government their regular sal
aries and transportation to and from
the school back to their respective
camps at the end of the couse; but
they must pay their keep during their
course, while tuition and use of library
will be free.
Whatever teaching and lecture force
the forest school at the Springs may be
unable to provide Uncle Sam will call
on the forest service to supply. In ad-
dition to this two experts will be in at
tendance as lecturers during the
course, one from the Branch of Graz
ing" and the other from the "Office of
Extension"
The effort to improve this branch OF
the forest service is admirable. If sue
cessful, as it certainly will be under
the direction of Professor Morrill,, it
must necessarily result in better
ment where most of it's weakness has
been displayed, and where most of the
criticisms and objections against the
service have centered, and will relieve
a certain amount of strain.

A TEST FOR PERFECT ICING
New England Idea Which Cook De-
clares She Has Never Known
TO Fail.

A clever home cook, celebrated for
her delicious cakes. gives this as
test for perfect icing:
ITO make sure that your frosting is
just right, neither too hard nor too
soft" she says, pluck out clean
broom straw and bend it in the form
of a loop. Dip this, held in this po-
sition, into the icing when you sus-
pect you have it about right. Hold
the straw with the ends to your
mouth and blow. If the icing is just
right it will form a bubble on the
straw. If no bubble is formed it is
not yet hard enough. Just why this
should be l have never heard. 1t is
an old test that has come down to me
from several generations of New Eng
land cake bakers, and l have never
know it to fail"

Platte river No. l will have a capa-
city of 252, 100000 cubic feet. with a
dam twenty feet high and 1,450 feet
long. No. 2 is to have capacity of
797,OS1, 800 cubic feet and dam twen-
ty-five high and LOO feet long. When
completed, they will cover five sec
tions. 1t is estimated that there will
be water enough to cover the entire
eastern portion of Colorado that is sub
ject to irrigation.
This is one of the largest PROPOSE
tions in the country and under the
present specifications will cost $685.
$50 for the construction of the two
dams alone Land which will be sub

HAIR MUST BE DRESSED FLAT
That Is Really the Most Important
Point of the Couture a la
Cjrcassienne

The fiat hafrdressing now worn in
America is called the couture a la Cir.
cassienne. This particular kind of ar.
rangement has as many names at.
tached to it as the modern turban.
There seems no end to these. Mop,
Sans Gene, Brittany, Moyen-Age, tur-
ban, are among some of the first that
greeted the couture. This much may
be said of it; there are more ways
of doing it than there are names
for 1t.
The requisite thing is to have it
fiat. How one manages this is ones
own secret.
No three hairdressers do it alike.
The hair may be loosely braided
and wound around the head, or it may
be twisted into a rope and placed
from nape of neck to forehead in
as near circle as the head will
permit.
Again, 1t is arranged in a long duff
cap in the middle of the head and
luxurious ropes or braids Of hair are
wound around this.
No hairpin must show except the
four huge shell ones that are to hold
the coils in place. There is no per-
ceptfble pompadour and the extrem-
lists are endeavoring to make the ears
imperceptible.

the second couture is presented
This couture is an arrangement of
curls pinned down to the head, in fact
a mass of puffs with one end free. The
hair is cut in light fringe across the
forehead and slightly curled A por-
ton Is parted off and tied at the
crown. of the head. where 1t is twisted
into knot and pinned down to sup
port the curls. The remainder of the
hair is parted Off in sections and ap-
parently tied nea the head. Each sep
arate mass is then again parted into
strands and curled. The mass of big,
short culrs only needs then to be ar
ranged becomingly. They are placed
with careful attention to apparent
careless irregularity all over the back
of the head. Little clusters of cork
screw" curls are grouped at each side,
where they appear to be held in place
by little jeweled> ornament set with
pearls. Two strands of pearls strung
on wire extend across the head to the
other ornament Mt the right side of
the head. Narrow bands of velvet or
satin ribbon might be used. An orna-
ment of some description is essential
to this coiffure
The little cork-screw curls at the
side are made by separating fuller
curls into strands, parting them off

Eobbing curls, dancing on the head
of childhood, arranged or disarranged,
appeal with an unending charm. 1t is
only lately that the most gifted hair
dressers have revealed to us all the
fascination of Curly Locks, as quaint
~ arranged for the little festival oc-
casions of children.
AS in many late coiffures for grown
ups. the hair is cut in light, grace
full fringe across the forehead, writes
Julia Bottomley in The illustrated
Mflliner. For the little girl the re-
mainder of the hair is "frizzed" in the
quaint old-fashioned way, half its
length. This is accomplished with
curling irons or by dampening the
hair and braiding it in several tight
braids half its length, and allowing it
to dry. The crimping necessary may
be very satisfactorily done on crimp-
ing pins. but they are not always COM
Portable.
This pretty couture is lovely even
without the addition of pretty furbe-
lows. But the placing of the ribbon
band and buoyant bow as shown in
the picture is an immensely attractive
finish and takes the couture out of
the simply childish class into the high
art rank. The folded ribbon holds
two short curls to the front and in
every way adds brilliance to the de-
sign.
