The decrease is, of course, i'm the
freshmen. Last year thirty-seven Ell

with sixty hours of college work re-
quired for entrance, there are of
course no freshmen.
The increase is in the number of

RIDES TEN MILES
DAILY IN 70 FEET
Elevator Boy Lifted Over a

Circus Day.

THE FAT MANS FRIEND

A ride of ten miles day without
getting over seventy-fve feet from
the starting place is the experience of
John f. Williams. elevator boy at
the Exchange National Bank Build
| ing.
Every trip of the elevator is re-
corded. About 100 trips is considered
an average days work. For awhile
! the number of people that used the
elevator each day was noted. Circus
day holds the record, l.l30 passen-
gers. The farmer considers the ride
on the elevator a part of their days
entertainment
The most people use the elevator
Saturday. The heaviest traffic is each
day is between and O'Clock in
the afternoon. 1t is then that the
third floor has the most calls, accord
ing to Williams. This is especially
true on the afternoon just before a
big dance for il is here that Column
bias only beauty parlOr is situated
when three or four girls come in at
once am always sure of where they
want to GO said the elevator boy
After their work has been done and
they are going down on the elevator
each tries to use a little mirror hang
ing in the car to see if she is done
right for the dance"
Thursday afternoon a fat man on
the third floor rang for the car. 1T
is SO much nicer to ride than to walk,
even if it is hard on your heart"
he said to a companion. Just then
the car started up and they thought
that ii was coming for them. HOwev-
er it did not stop but went on to the
fourth floor.
Here" yelled the fat man. ARE
You coming back?'
A friend of his riding on the ele-
vator replied. We intend to-"
The elevator came down in few
minutes and the fat man and his
friend stepped on.
The elevator boy said nothing but
the joy-rider saved the day by saying,
."Up or down"
In the Exchange National Bank
Building most any kind of a business
can be found. There are many people
who use the elevator each day and
most of them have a peculiar ring.
Williams has learned many of these
and often can tell who is below when
he hears the ring."One of the most
frequent questions | have to answer
is what is the weather forecast that
hangs on the side of the cage for to-
day" said Williams He also acts as
a bureau of information to those who
fail to read the signs at the entrance
on the first floor.
Williams has been working in the
building for l. months. He likes the
work and seldom misses day.

"GIRLS UNFAIR TO RELIGION"

Miss OOlOOah Burner Says They
Should Give More Time to Ii.
College girls are unfair in the
amount of time they give to religion
according to Miss OOlooah Burner. al
meeting of University women yes,
terday afternoon in the Y. NJ. C. A
auditorium.
''HOw much of your Latin and
mathematics will you remember
when you are out of college," asked
Miss Burner. is it fair to spend
so much time on things less worth
while. and spend five minutes a
week on things most worth while?
The only thing regret now is that
when going through college | did not
spend more time on the things max
ing for the basis of life"
Miss Burner said that many per-
sons ask what they must do in order
to live a Christian life. This can't
be answered definitely, she said, by
church membership, Bible study, or
even prayer alone. although all of
these are essential. Christianity is
the living actively of what we feel.
Speaking of discOUragements, Miss
Burner said that a Christian should
not expect to be perfect at once. but
must advance as a child learns to
walk and thus gradually grow toward
the standard of Christ
Miss Louise HOlmquist, who spoke
at the closing meeting last night in
the WOmens ParlOrs of Academic
Hall on The Results of the CAM
paign,' said that these meetings We're
the beginning of great things for
University women. Having come in
touch with greater power they
would be able to apply it in their
she said, the taking up of new cOurs-
es of life, but the bringing of this
spirit into everyday affairs. 1t would
be the enthusiasm of love in action,
and because of it the WOmen's COun-
ell and the adviser of women would
find their tasks less difficult, and ev-
cry student organization would pros
per.
Miss HOlmquist said the campaign
had also brought to the girls the en-
thusiasm of love in prayer which
would enable them to pray unset
fishly. Lastly. it had brought them
enthusiasm of faith which enable
them to face all difficulties serenely.

BIBLE NOT DRY READING
T.. r. Cotton Tells How to Guard
Against Temptation.

Daily Bible study is the defense
that a college man should use against
temptation. This was the thought
that z. T. Cotton gave in his talk at
the Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium last
night. This was the last of the spe-
ciaI meetings that began last Thurs
day under the direction of the Y.
NJ. c. A.
"A great many men say that the
Bible is dry reading. This is on ac-
count of the way it is read. Any
classic would be dry and uninterest-
ing if some was read from the first
of the book then some from the back
and a little from the middle" Mr..
Cotton said. He added that system
attic reading of the New Testament
would give the reader more appre-
citation Of classic literature aside
from the knowledge that such read
ing would give.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Cotton
spoke to the University men IN the
University auditorium. He said that
the greatest failure in life was for I
man to spend his life i'll work that
was much lower than what he was
capable of doing. He gave many eN-
amples of men he knew who were
rendering great public service while
they were working in their chosen
profession or business. Mr.. Cotton
believes that men are called to be
railroad engineers and business men
as well as to be ministers.

Of Interest to Fruit Growers

Apply a strong spray OF arsenate OF
lead. using at least six pounds of the
paste to 100 gallons OF water, about
the time when the blossoms are first
showing the pink. This ought to be In
worms. This spray should be followed
by another just az soon as possible
after the blossoms begin to fall and
the bees cease feeding. which will
serve the double purpose OF a leaf
roller and codling moth spray. A
third spray should then be applied
about one week after the second.
Thoroughness.
Above all things else spraying
should be thorough. Ten year old
trees that would bear eigh. to ten
boxes of apples should have at least
ten gallons OF spray to tree ;or
thorough work. Other trees which are
larger may require as much as 25 gal
Ions to a tree. an amount not uncom-
monty used in codling moth work
when this pest is abundant Perhaps
1t would not be amIss to say that trees
should not merely be sprayed but they
should be drenched. The success OF
spraying will depend largely upon
how thoroughly the work is done.

drive up into the Gorge needs atten-

time the town will be full OF weeds

REFORM BOSSES
WOULD RULE DENVER

Denver April 16.-After having ad-
vocated eli of the reforms in the po-
litical calendar. the members of the
reform parties of Denver are nomin-
ating complete set of city officials
by q -self-appointed committee of ff-
teen. The most machine-ridden party
in the city of Denver today is the Citi-
zens party. The most boss-ridden par
ty in Denver today is that same party.
A few days ago Thomas, NJ. Patterson
and H. H. Tammen announced that
the Citizens ticket must be nominet-
ed by a committee instead of direct
primary or through convention. At
ter having advocated the direct pri-
mary as the only way to rid a politi-
esl organization Of boss, Messrs.
Patterson and Tammen assumed
charge and proceeded to compel 1t to
do their duty. Not only have they de-
creed that the nominations must be
made by a nominating committee but
they have ordered that committee to
place H. ]. Arnold at the top of the
ticket as candidate for mayor.
There is not worker in either Of
the three parties which make up the
Citizens party who does not know
that Mr.. Arnold could not be nom:n-
ated by direct primary. Nevertheless,
Mr.. Tammen and Mr.. Patterson have
Joined forces and have whipped the
platform Democrats, the Citizens par
ty and apparently few of the pro-
gressive Republicans into line and are
forcing them to accept their slate, put
through by a nominating committee.
Nothing in the political history of
Denver has been more brazen or less

Denver Solid for Taft" The above

yer was not solid for Taft four years

long will the counties outside of Den

ties for their candidates and allow
Denver to trade and traffic with the
Democrats and defeat the ticket? Ev-

because he reduced tho values of GER
tain properties and increased the
values of other properties, Messrs.
Tammen and Patterson are directing
the affairs of the Citizens party WITH
as great a whip hand as was ever used
by Boss Quay or Tweed.
Strange as it may seem such men as

denounced bossism in the Republican
party. and dozens of others who have
claimed that the two old parties were

1t begins to look like we might see
the convict gang back on the street
again.
Mayor Smith and Alderman Dickin-
son called on the warden the other
day and were assured that he would
furnish gang II the city would use
the men. The question OF last years
work came up and the Warden assur-
ed the mayor that the guard and the
men furnished would be perfectly sas-

a gang OF ten the first Of the week
and that in the course OF week the
gang would be increased to fifteen.
This settles the question Of getting
the men. Now it will be up to the
city council Monday night to decide
whether they will be used.

needs Of the town are decidedly in
favor Of using the men for this work,
and no doubt some people will be at

urge the matter.
