new STATE ROAD BOARD
NAMES ADVISERS FOR
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER.
Not One of the Two Hundred Appli-
cants for the Positions Selected
by Executive.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Politician were given a
severe nervous shock by Governor
Ammons when he appointed five busi-
ness men who had never made appli-
cations for the positions as members
of the advisory board which is to
pass upon the distribution of state
road funds made by Highway Com
missioner. Ehrhart. The five named,
each representing a different section
of the state in accordance with the
highway law, are:
First district, Denver-John NJ.
Kuykendall for the term ending April
1, 1918.
Second district-Leonard E. Curtis
of Colorado Springs for the term end
ing April 1, 1917.
Third district-Charles r. McLain
OF Canon City for the term ending
April 1, 1916.
Fourth district-Charles e. Herr of
Durango for the term ending April 1,
1915.
Fifth district-L. Boyd Walbridge
of Meeker for the term ending April
1. 1914.
The members are to serve without
pay, receiving only their actual ex-
penses.
There were over 200 applicants for
the positions but none of the appoint
ees were among the number. Road
enthusiasts in various sections of the
state were extremely anxious as to
the appointments, being apprehensive
that their sections might not secure
their just quota of the funds if the
boards membership should not be ia
vorable to them.
The board as appointed is a non
part ran one. Each member is prom
inent in business in his own district
and the executive believes that the
boards personnel will assure busi-
ness-like consideration of road prob.
lens.
The boards of county commission
ers have already been notified that
they must certify to the highway COM
missioner the amounts of money they
expect to spend on road work In their
counties in conjunction with the state
fund. They must make the certifica-
ton within thirty days after the ap-
pointment of the highway commits
sioner.

ENGLAND DEGREES
 ADULTERATED FOOD
SCIENTISTS OFFER A REWARD FOR A STRICTLY PURE FOOD
 CHRISTMAS DINNER.
English People Are Criticisng the Enormous Expenditures of the Ad- miralty on Harbors.

London, December 21.-The wide. spread advertisement of the Pure Food and Health Society of Great Britian for a hotel or restaurant to provide the members of the society stand the adulteration probes of the expert chemists of the society, has not produced a single offer. The so- ciety is now seeking a home in which to hold the dinner, but no member has yet been found who will risk the loss of an insulted cook.
 The society named three conditions: That the dinner shall not be too cost ly; that it shall not be fad fruitar- ian or vegetarian affair; and that the society shall be allowed to conduct analysis with the help of two an alytical chemists during the progress of the meal
 Alfred D. Moore, secretary of the society, believes 1t is utterly impossi- ble for an unadulterated meal of the scope of a Christmas dinner to be given in London. Moreover, he issues challenge for any one to provide a days food for an ordinary working mans family without three cases of food adulteration. If the list includ- es coffee, tea, or cocoa; bread, butter, sausage bacon, milk, beef, vegetables, biscuits, jam honey and cheese, there will be more than three cases of adul- teration." he declares. He asserts further that it is utterly impossible to get unadulterated milk in London. It may be only drop of annato to the pint, but this is added to give a rich creamy look to seperated milk. Other deliberations mentioned by MT. Moore are plaster of paris in some kinds of flour, salicylic acids in jams, rice that is faced with uneatable mineral matter. and boric acid n milk, cream and canned goods.
 The society has issued its clarion call, Why Should People Go On AL lowing Themselves to be Poisoned" Nevertheless, the people are apparent ly going ahead joyously prparing to feast according to their means on Christmas day without a thought of the adulteraions passing heir lips.

From the way in which the cost of the various services and the general administration is piling up, it is now believed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer win have to provide for an expenditure of billion dollars in the estimates for the next ficial year.
 This sum is about double what the estimates amounted to in 1905 when the Liberal Party, which generally stands for economy, came into power. In only one department has there been saving and that is in connec ton with the army, the cost of which was about s5,O00,00O less last year than it was eight ago. The navy last year cost $15,O00,O00 more than it did in 1905, and if present forecasts are to be relied upon the estimates for this branch of the service including the ordinary and supplementary esti- mates will show next year an in- crease of another s25,000000.
 It is in the civil service and rev. enue department, howevr, that tn in- crease has been greatest, largely due to the old age pensions, industrial in- surance and labor exchanges. The Elk chequer issues for these purposes have gone up from s230,oOO,0OO in 1905 to narly 0O0O0,00O in 1913, and they will be even greater next year
 All of this has caused a great out cry from the economists in the coun- try, but as most of those making up this group favor social reforms, their fire has been aimed almost solely at the naval estimates. On the other hand most of those who advocate supreme navy against social reforms. so that the Government Is attacked from both sides.

of Dover Harbor has been wasted There is today a rushing tide rip across the harbor entrance which makes it next to impossible to enter at certain stages of the tide; on all occasions naval navigators are wary about bringing their ships in, and shipmasters avoid the harbor when ever they possibly can. The eddies are intricate and uncertain, and 1t is impossible to predict the currents.
 It has also been found that the harbor silts up very rapidly, in spite of the fact that $350,00O are spent an nually on dredging. Altogether Dow CT Harbor has cost the nation $500 900, and many millions more will have to be spent if it is to be of any use to the larger ships of the navy.
 Probably the most interesting of the Scott Antartic expedition speci- mems, which have just been placed in the National History Museum at South Kensington, are the few pieces of coal found by Captain Scott's party in lat itude S5 degrees in the middle if the frozen plateau that stretches from King Edwards land way beyond the South Pole.
 The coal was found by Commander Evans among the little bundle of fos- sils which captain Scott and his three companions dragged through the bliz- gard with their other baggage on that memorable return journey which cost them their lives. The few tiny frag- ments, under the light of science, tell wonderful story. It it is true, as these specimens strongly indicate, that there is coal at the South Pole, it follows that some remote period there must have been forests growing in this frozen, ice covered land Stor- ed up in the little bits of coal is the heat from tropical sun which ages ago shone over the hills and fertile valleys of King Edwards Land, now a desolate ice waste.
