In the automobile pa1

In the automobile parade which
opened the Carnival the Arkansas
pennant was carried by several auto
mobiles, many of them prettily de-
corated, and some receiving favorable
mention. At this time Governor John
F. Shafroth, of the State of Colorado,
officially opened the carnival. The
White Arkansas badges were also
conspicuous at the aviation meet,
which was the feature attraction of
tie Carnival, Philip 0. Parmalee and
Clifford R. Turpin, representatives
of the Wright brothers, We're the air
men who thrilled 10000 people with
their flights. The climax of a great
meet came when Parmalee performed
the spectacular feat of sailing over
into the mountains west of the city
and over the gateway of the Garden
of the Gods. The two-day exhibition
was the greatest that has ever been
consummated from an altitude above
5000 feet.
In addition to the aviation meet,
there were many other attractions to
provide amusement for the thousands
who were in the city. The civic and
pioneer parade, at which Governor
and Mrs. Shafroih were in the re-
viewing stand, took place on the SEE
end day of the celebration. The night
carnival and bal unsque, the thrilin
wild west shows, the Illuminated fire
of the Gods, the Russian ballet, all
served to provide excitement and
amusement for both tourist and resi-
dent, and the Arkansans entered into
the fun with zest that equalled that
of the Colorado Springs people.
Arkansas visiting in the pixies peak
region were treated to the spectacle
of snow in midsummer last week AL
thought it has been unusually cool in
Colorado all summer, when the clouds
rolled away from the mountains west
of the city early one morning, the
summit of Pixies Peak was seen to
bear a thick white mantle of snow.
The weather man on the summit said
that four inches of snow had fallen
Those who had walked up to the peak
over night and those who went UP by
way of the Cog road were treated to
2 July SNOWFALL fight.

4 PRACTICAL
ORGANIZATION
The International Typographical Tn
ion Has Thousands of Students i'll
Its Printing Course.

Schemes and theories concerning
trade education appear with great
regularity in magazines and daily
papers. A booklet issued by the
educational commission of the Inter
national Typographical Union proves
that that organization is doing prac-
teal work The publication contains
proof in the shape of specimens OF
work done by students before and
after taking the Union.s Course in
Instruction in Printing and grateful
expressions of others who tell what
this Course has done for them. One
apprentice says his wages have been
almost doubled while journeyman
declares the lessons teach the printer
how to think and create. There is
handsome front-ier-piece. which de-
monstrates that the creative faculty
is debing developed among compost
tors.
These lessons are given by the COR
EesDondence method, and in three
years more than twenty-three hun
dred students have been enrolled. 1T
has won worldwide fame, as the
government of New South Wales has
asked permission to adopt portion
of these lessons in a printing course
provided by that State. The Amer-
can lessons are also being taken by
some of the teachers OF typography
in France and other countries
The |. T. U. Course, as these lessons
are popularity known among printers,
Is sold for less than actual cost. This
is possible because the international
Typographical Union defrays all
promotional expenses and returns
twenty-five per cent Of the fee to
each student who finishes the les.
sons with ordinary intelligence. The
Unions purpose is to improve the Of
ficiency of the craft, for in the skill
of it's members it finds its greatest
weapon for offense and defense.
