UNIVERSITY CLUB FOR
CANON UNDER DISCUSSION

A movement has been started
among the university and college men
OF the city to organize a University
Club for Canon City. Several men.
perhaps, most interested in an organ
ization of this kind met last Friday
night. in the superintendents Office
at the Washington school. to discuss
plan and talk over the feasibility
OF such a club. A committe OF three
was appointed TO arrange for n din
ner early in January, at which time
permanent organization will ne
effected.
The consensus OF opinion among the
men present last night was that there
are very few meetings in Canon
City when congenial men can get
together without being asked for a
donation OF some kind. Membership
in a club of the kind under consider
alton will have no fees attached and
each member will receive the equiva-
lent of the sum he may see Mt 10
put in.
A list OF over forty eligible names
has been made. which will doubtless
be enlarged to twice that number.
Prof G. c. Sherwood. w. H. Ray.

T. Little and Otis orendorf. are giving
considerable time and thought to the

BREATHE THROUGH YOUR EARS

In those prehistoric times When you were a
tadpOle and ! Was a frog" we breathed through
our gills, and II we still did tuberculosis and all
kindred germs would have a batting average OF
900.
Such are the teachings Of DR.. John G. Davis
of the University of Virginia medical department,
delivered before a local body Of medical students,
according to a Washington correspondent Of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
You can exhale air through the ears now. Just
take q chest full Of air, close the nostrils and
try to eXhalc, The air will come out through the
ears. Muscles Of this old breathing organ have
been out Of practice for a few thousand years
and It will require some practice to get them in
order,
81 would advise mothers to train their children
in this new but old mode Of breathing. 1t will
greatly help against many troubles, as there
would be no chance Of getting infectious matter
into the lungs or throat. After a little practice a
child will be able to close or shut his ears Just
as a fish works his gills. ~
Originally the nose was used for smelling
only. After a while man began taking long, gen
erous smells, and later developed his breather
into a smeller at the expense of his 'gills' II my
advice were followed man would have three
breathing organs instead of two within two gen.
erations."

Ptolemies in Upper Egypt, and are
Of the Greco-Egyptian period.
There are seventeen Of them. They
are about twelve inches wide, all
closely rolled, and some are as much
as four inches in diameter. The size
Of the largest probably will be found
to be about fifty feet, which would be

Second only in spIeador of display to the glitter

stole a quantity Of iewelry. The own
er Of the articles placed their value at
$4,000. Later 1t was discovered the
jewels were paste. Mr.. York insists
the thief made the substitution since
the burglary, but the police believe
the jewels were stolen once before and
that the first thief, to insure his es
cape, put paste in place Of the real
gems.
A man giving the name Of l., W.
Ha2zay and describing himself as a
waiter from New York, has confessed.
the police say. that he took the jewel
ny from the York home, but says he
did not manipulate the stones. In
fact, he is much incensed at the way
he was cheated.
All the stolen arAscles have been re-
covered, part befhg found in pawn
shops and the remainder in Ha2zay's
