Harrisburg, Pa, May 15.-Numer-

Sunday ripped into strips the tents
which protect the nude statues of Geo.

the workmen are putting on the fin

George Gray Barnard's conception OF
the perfect man, woman and child.
There was furore, and as result
huge blotches of plaster of paris cloth

They made the masterpiece OF the
sculptor look like cheap clay daubs by
some amateur.
Recently Sculptor Barnard came to
Harrisburg, and after declaring that
the American public was too whimsi-

On Friday the workmen erected
tents around the massive group and
proceeded to remove the plaster OF

about the city that any person who
wished to see the masterpieces in the
original fern would have to do SO on
Sunday, as the reciothing process
would start today.
The city was filled with visitors an.
ticipating the visit of President Taft
and they made their way to Capitol

the tents which protected the statues

became wrathy and proceeded to tear
the canvas to ribbons. Not only they
but probably every other person in
Harrisburg today saw the groups as

Don't Hold Things In Fingers.

Girls. don't imagine that you must
always have In your hands some small
article-a purse, q handkerchief or
even q hairpin-in order to feel per
fectly at case in the presence Of stran-
gers. Forget that you possess eight
fingers and two thumbs and they will
lie in your lap or against your sides
in the manner most natural to them.
A good way to overcome self con-
seriousness and to get rid Of the sen
sation OF not knowing what to do with
the hands Is to deliberately start for
q long walk along q crowded thor.
oughfare without even the tiniest OF
coin purses between the fingers. You
will be surprised to note how few
really graceful women are making
their hands work simultaneously with
their feet.

LEGISLATIVE
DOM G s
Three Appropriation Bills.
o O I N G s


There are now before the State
Legislature of Colorado three appro-
priation bills which have very direct
and important relation to the irrlga-
ton development of this state. These
bills were introduced by Senator Car
penter and have not yet been report
ed out by the finance committee.
The first bill is entitled An act
concerning a division Of topographic
surveys. providing for the manage
ment and duties of the same, and for
cooperation by such division with the
United States geological survey. and
making an appropriation therefor.
The appropriation named in the bill
is $4,000 annually. The nature OF a
United States geological survey map
is probably known to every one who
has been interested either in mining,
irrigation or engineering work. These
maps show the topographic features OF
the land, such as mountains, hills, val
ley and gulches: all bodies of water,
such as lakes, marshes. streams and
springs; the routes of travel, such as
railroads, wagon roads and trails,
cities, towns and permanent puiiu
ings, and the names of natural and
other features. as well as permanent
monuments which are available as
starting points for local surveys, town
ships, section lines. boundaries ana
land grants They serve great varie-
ty Of purposes. but are especially val
liable in connection with preliminary
locations of railroads, canals and high
ways, and are very useful to prospec-
tive investors and settlers in making
a study OF the country in which they
propose to locate They are also very
valuable to travellers. prospectors, etc..
as guide maps. They are very useful
in the study of water powers and the
development of the mining interests
of the state.

The road district bill introduced by
Representative Madden is one Of the
measures recommended by the Good
Roads convention that met in Denver
last winter. 1t makes changes that
will allow the formation Of road Inn
provement districts in all parts Of the
state.
The Homer bill providing for the
licensing of all real estate brokers
and agents is meeting with some oppo-
sition.
The warehouse bill. passed on sec.
ond reading, is one that has already
been adopted in about twenty states.
The warehouse men are contendinY
that uniform warehouse laws are need
ed in all states so that warehouse re-
ceipts may be negotiable securities in
any part OF the country.
The Civil Service bill as amended
was passed on second reading. As
originally introduced this bill provid-
ed for the abolition Of the Civil Serv.
ice Commission, but 1t has been

Grand Valley Opposes Plan.

Palisade.-Frank c. Goudy will leave
for Washington in few days to op-
pose the low line canal contemplated
by the Reclamation Service for the
comp elton of the Grand Valley irri-
CATION project. The low line canal has
been recommended by the reclamation
engineers. but is being opposed by the
fruit growers Of the district because
it runs through a number Of valuable
orchards which will be destroyed IL
the project should be carried out.
An alternative plan, known as the
high line canal, has been proposed. 1t
is a more expensive piece of construc-
ton than the low line canal. but as
it will save the orchards it is favored
by the Western slope people.
Mr.. Goudy has been selected by a
number of irrigation districts of this
section to represent them in Wash
ington in an effort to have the desired
change in the plans made.
Several attorneys from the Western
slope will also go to Washington to
assist In the efforts to have the pro-
posed low line canal. which will re.
quire a 10O-foot right Of way through
the best Palisade orchards, aban-
doned.
