WORDS THAT REALLY SPEAK
Many Expressions in the Language
That Seem to Convey lnstan-
taneous Meaning.

Bang-"a sudden noise like that
from gun" is the definition given by
the dictionary. But the explanation
is befogging and futile, for bang"
is-well, what better describes it
than the simple word itself?
So many of our most expressive
words seem similarly to have sprung
from a desire to form with the lips a
sound mimicking the thing described.
Why waste words on a definition Of
the word Splash" for example? You
hear all the abrupt, restless heaving
Of the waters in that one word.
And does even a baby need to be
told what buzz" means when blue.
bottle is leading forlorn hope against
the pantry window?
"Tinkle," WHISTLE" whine" "gur-
gle," "cackle," 'icy"-these are only a
few of our other eloquently descrip-
tive words.
1t is also extremely interesting to
note the sharp distinction drawn be-
tween the words of opposite meaning
SO as to emphasize their difference in
sound-thus, brisk, lazy" (or slug.
gish"); "hot, icy;" down. up" "jol
ly. miserable" and SO on.

EXERCISE IN THE FRESH AIR
No Doctors Prescription So Valuable
as This Simple and Pleasant
Occupation.

When health is the great desidera-
tum one should not hesitate to make
almost any sacrifice to obtain it. This
was we'll illustrated by the man who
recently double-crossed the continent
in 1922 days. At the time of his leav-
ing on this journey afoot he was
threatened with consumption. He
realized that fresh air, exercise and
sunshine formed the perfect trinity
that spells health. He started on that
long tramp expecting health as the re.
suit. Did he get it? Sure. One gets
what he expects-not merely what he
hopes for; not merely what he de-
sires, but he must expect to get that
for which he hopes and desires; then
lay hold Of the means, as did this
man. whereby the object may be OBJ
tanned and then retained. He Is, as
the result Of his effort, in the pink
Of condition" He weighed 104 pounds
at the start, 140 pounds at the finish
and placed good round thousand
to his credit. Best Of all, he walked
away from disease Go, thou, and do
likewise.

TRAGEDY In women,s Hats.

There is tragedy in every wom-
ans hat. 1t seems almost as cruel to
pay girls who make the dainty flowers
in France a pittance as to kill the
birds Of brilliant plumage in Brazil.
Thirty cents a day. 20 and Is. with
an occasional rs for rare skill In max
ing roses. deducting for loss of time
and slack work. tells the story of
wretchedness and woe. Summed up
the average is not far from $50 a year
on which to support existence. Amer
ican lovers Of French millinery will
be amazed at the wages paid young
women in France gifted with deft
fingers and rare taste. especially
when they take the prices charged
for Partisan hats into considera-
ton.

TYPES THAT ARE SIMILAR
Stupid or Thoushtless Man May Well
Be Actuated by the Same
Principle.

There are some men formed with
feelings SO blunt, with tempers SO
cold and phlegmatic, that they can
hardly be said to be awake during the
whole course of their lives. Upon
such persons the most striking OBJ
jects make faint and obscure inn
preston.
There are others SO continually in
the agitation of gross and merely
sensual pleasures, or 80 occupied in
the low drudgery of avarice, or SO
heated in the chase of honors and
distinction, that their minds, which
had been used continually to the
storms of these violent and tempest
uous passions, can hardly be put in
motion by the delicate and refined
play of the imagination.
These men, though, from a different
cause, become as stupid and insensi-
4ole as the former, but whenever eth
~er of these happen to be struck with
aany natural elegance or greatness, or
with these qualities in any work of
art. they are moved upon the same
rinciple.-Edmund Burke.

EASTERN PROMOTER CHARGED
WITH RADiUM SWiNDLE

Monday evenings Denver Times
contained the following item Of local
interest:
William Wright, stockbroker of
Boyerton, Pennsylvania, has been ar
rested by federal authorities on the
complaint of A. 1. dupont, charged
with selling worthless stock of the
German Gold and Uranium company,
a S1,000,OO corporation, organized to
develop radium mines in Gilpin coun-
ty.
This company, according to Geo.
C. Manly, local attorney for Mr.. du-
Pont, held options on the German
and Belcher mines, near Central City.
These options had lapsed and dupont
bought the two properties direct
from Bishop N. C. Matz, in whose
name stood title for the German
mine, and Mrs. Campbell owner of
the Belcher mine.
1.-THE old company which figures In
the arrest of Wright continued in
existence after the title to the mines
passed to DUPONT, and 1t Is this STOCK
which Wright is charged with sell
ing to farmers in Pennsylvania. II.
C. Browne, formerly of Philadelphia,
is president of the company, and is
also representative at Central City
of Mr.. DUPONT. Manly says that 1t
was not treasury stock Of the COM
pany being sold, but individual hold
ings OF some Of the 400 or 500 stock
holders.
Wright was arrested by postof-
flee inspectors. The amount Of stock
sold was estimated by dupont at $685.
900, and by the postal inspectors at
81, 900, 900. Wright was arraigned be-
fore a commissioner and bound over
to the grand jury under $4,000 bond.
DUPONT was directly responsible for
the arrest"
Wright made a trip to Gilpin coun
ty several weeks ago and visited the
German mine. 1t has always been
understood that he was heavily In
terested in the German company.1

Women Multiply Their Trouble.


The popularity of bridge has swept
all records SO far this season. Any
prominent society dame gets an aver
age Of. say, one invitation per after
noon. This she could manage beauti-
fully were the invitations for success
sive dates. But suppose they bunch
themselves SO that she gets a half
dozen for the same afternoon? So.
ciety, through necessity, has evolved
a noval plan to meet this. It Is the
substitute. By the operation Of this
plan, the much-rushed society woman
is enabled to enjoy her afternoon of
bridge at the house she chooses, Sc
cure in the knowledge that she is be-
ing represented by her proxies in five
other homes. Bridge for BRIDGES sake
has resulted. for the invasion of the
proxy has done away with the social
aspect to marked degree. But the
proxy player has come to stay, as
she is a necessity in the strenuous
life of the social swim.

sIeknes. Caused by Wireless.

Wireless operators. particularly on

Blood tests show a diminished num-

1t has been customary to charge
this to the poor quarters many Of the

seems that the presence Of too much
