bined with the creature comforts brought by the
invading Yankees have produced combination
that is attracting to Santa Fe and vicinity many
invads and persons in search of health to whom
the dry atmosphere is a boon of priceless value.
Some of these health seekers live in tents in the
country or in the outskirts of the city, but the
leisure folk who have been attracted to Santa Fe
merely because of its ideal climate dwell in
cozy cottages which in striking contrast to the
houses of adobe-the ''forerunner of concrete"
Although the Mexicans of Santa Fe take life
with the traditional ease of their race it is pos
sble for the American housewife in New Mexico
to secure domestic help with perhaps somewhat
less difficulty than is encountered by her sister
in the average American city. A cook or general
houseworker may be obtained at wage of from
$12 to $40 month. However family living In
cozy five or six room cottage seldom requires
outside help, or at most, will find their needs in
this direction amply served by young Mexican
girl who will act as nurse household helper.
and who can be secured for wage of from So
to $12 per month American residents of Santa
Fe who proud of her progress point with
pride to number of twentieth century residences
and business structures, and incidentally, they d-
rect attention to the handsome capitol building
erected as the territorial capitol of New Mexico,
and which from every standpoint compares most
favorably with many OF the capitol buildings
throughout the Union

QUEER FISH HOOKS.
To go back as far as the stone age we have
only to turn to the inhabitants of Oceania, be-
these natives have never progressed any
farther in the art of capturing fish than did their
ancestors centuries ago The Polynesian hooks
are generally barbed and some curious specimens
have been collected in New Zealand says the
Hawaiian Star. One OF these is made from a sec
ton of dogs 1awbone, single tooth. which
has been filed to sharp point being left for the
barb. In this same country hook that has been
pointed with human bone is regarded as possess
in exceptionally fine qualities for attracting the
fish.
Tho best workmanship is exhibited in the hooks
which are used without bait and which correspond
to spoons Pearl other iridescent shell
furnishes the part which attracts the fish, and fire.
quently the shank consists OF the ribbed part of
shell, near the hinge of the valve thereby giving
the hook spinning motion as it is drawn through
the water Many elaborate designs have
wooden shank, neatly carved and inlaid with
silver of haliotis she'll while the barb is of sharp
ened bone The extreme delicacy required In ac-
curatey piecing together of these composite
hooks may be imagined

Con Con Indorses !. G. r.

Direct legislation in the fullest
sense by which voters may perform
most of the functions of the general
assembly, instead of modified form
of the l. and r., widely known as
the Wisconsin plan, whereby meas
ures initiated by the people would be
referred to the legislature, nearly
split the Bigelow constitutional con-
vention caucus into two warning fac
tions last night at the second meet
ing at the Hartman hotel.
BY 80 to 2S the caucus declared for
the former plan. President Bigelow
and his Hamilton county colleagues
were pledged to the modified form
and voted against the extreme type
of direct legislation. But when the
vote was announced, President Bige-
low despite his pledge, moved that
the caucus make the vote unanimous
for the direct legislation scheme.
Chairman Johnson of Williams de-
clared the motion carried over the
protests of number of delegates.
