"Denver is necessarily a city

some who do not believe in any

are entitled to the right to retire
early. In the same breath, there
may be those who, for one reason
or another, desire to remain out
as late as midnight, or even later.
They are entitled to the same per-
sonal privileges as are accorded to
the residents who desire to retire
early. [ wish to say that if 1 am

law of common decency, the law
abiding citizen of liberal views
has just as many rights as the mar

the Real Estate, Insurance and Loan

Have been actively engaged in this
line of business for myself during the
past IA years. The only political
position l have ever filled was that of
Fire Commissioner of the Fire and
Police Board and served as such from
June 1st, 1912, to February 1st, 1913.
Many things came up to contend with

Creek flood came upon us and | was
in service from p. m. Sunday until

distributed hose to all business men
who applied for same until we almost
crippled the department however,
we did not lose one section of hose
and we received the thanks of the
business men for the accommoda-
tions extended. We raised $6,240 for
the Convention of the Fire Chiefs, of
which amount their still remains
balance of over $760, which could be
placed in the Firemens Pension Fund.

THE MoFFAT TUNNEL CHARTER
AMENDMENT.

This amendment has the approval
of all of the commercial organizations
of the city, is endorsed by the COVER
nor and mayor, the newspapers and
by substantially every business enter
prise in the city.
The amendment, if carried, will au-
thorize the city of Denver to assist in
the building of the tunnel. 1t will give
employment to thousands of laborers
and several million dollars will be
distributed for supplies-all within
the state. The city is to own the
tunnel. 1t is fully protected so that
the railway company finally takes it
off of the city's hands at full cost.
There is no doubt in the minds of the
committee having the matter in
charge for the combined commercial
organizations of the city that the rail-
road will fully carry out it's contract
and that Denver will be placed on a
transcontinental line to Salt Lake
City without any expense to the city
of Denver.

TWO KINDS OF
ROAD ADVOCATES
One Bunch FavOrs Federal Construction
OF Systematic Road Systems; the
Other, Heller SHELTER Work.

Most people use the terms National
Roads" and Federal Aid synony-
mOusly, Notwithstanding the fact that
these two terms represent two entire
~ different ideas and systems in re-
gard to highway improvement by the
national government.
The National Highways association
and other advocates of national roads
favor the construction of system OF
trunk lines connecting the principal
cities of the country, entirely at the
expense of the government and under
government control These advocates
believe that the states should build GER
tain secondary roads entirely at the
states expense, and under state con-
troll; and that the counties should
build third class of roads entirely at
counties control. This in a general
way is the plan on which the french
road system is based;
The advocates of Federal Aid" for
road building do not favor the con-
struction of transcontinental trunk
lines or highways at the governments
expense; they believe that the gov
eminent should appropriate money Tor
road building and hand it over TO the
states for the states to spend on state
roads.

The cleaned body is then taken to the
dry room and kept there under tenn
perature of so degrees of heat until all
the moisture has been removed and
the body metal so warmed that upon
entering the finishing room there will
be no danger of the finishing varniSh
being chilled. This finishing varnish
is extremely sensitive and is stored I'M

After a critical examination to see
that there are no dust bubbles left in
the varnish the body is taken to the
dark room, or drying room, equipped
with a forced ventilation which re-
moves from the room all varnish fumes
due to evaporation of the oils and tur-
pentines in the varnish and which
would kill the depth and luster of the
finish if allowed to remain.
When 4S hours have elapsed the body
is taken from the dark room to the
assembling floor and fitted with the
handles, scuff plates and other Access
series, and then passed on the shower

This is done to avoid spotting of the
varnish caused by rain and dust and at

To Keep Cars Like New.
1t would be a very good plan for the
owner upon receipt of his car to give
the body good shoWering, and, with
a chamois skin soaked in water and
then wrung almost dry to go over it
and wipe up all water remaining on
the body. Also, should he encounter
bad mud roads and the body become
mud splashed he should wash it off
with water and a soft sponge before
the mud spots have dried and then go
over 1t with a chamois as above This
will prevent spotted varnish

with water have different actions on

thorough brushing of the painted sur
face with a rough bristle brush to
remove all loose pigment and the sec
ond ground coat is applied. This sec
Ond ground coat is slightly different
in composition and contains a small
amount of varnish.
Prior to the APPLICATION of the next
coat, known as the color coat, the sur
face is rubbed with eurled hair to re-
move any slight imperfections of sur
face due to partially detached pig
ment. The color coat is very deli
cate and sensitive mixture and is ap-
piled with a fine camel hair brush
