Declaring, and proving, by actual
figures, that municipalities are better
off financially without saloons than
with them, Willard f. Cox, Of Des
'Moines, municipal examiner for Iowa.
acting under direction Of state, who is
in this city making the biennial audit
of ,Marshalltowns books, has some in
teresting figures on the subject.
Mr.. Cox says unqualifiedly that sa-
loon revenue is not necessary for a
citys maintenance, but rather on the
contrary, saloons are q menace and a
hindrance to the welfare of the any
city. Mr.. Cox bases his statements on
cold figures in black and white. in
making comparisons OF the financial
conditions of cities having saloons, and
cities without them. The cities with
out Saloons says Mr.. Cox, ARE with
out exception, in the better financial
condition"
Saloons and Debts.
One interesting comparison" said
Mr.. Cox. "and straight to my point,
too. is made in placing the indebted
ness of two Iowa cities with which all
are familiar In one. in which there are
two saloons to every thousand of pop
ulation, I found its indebtedness SO
great that it exceeds the legal limit.

was a less conspicuous uniform than
the blue subsequently adopted for the
army of the United States.
Careful experiments by the German
government brought out the fact that
light gray, such as that worn by the
West Point cadets, is the color first
lost to sight in the field. Scarlet came
next. with dark gray. blue and green
in the order named. In target prac-
tice it was found that Of all colors
scarlet is most difficult TO hit. Light
green is almost invisible under the
violet tinge Of electric lights and would
therefore be an excellent color for the
uniforms of naval scouts who would
be exposed to the rays of an enemy's
hlights.-Harper' Weekly.
