old womans barrel, inexhaustible.
The truth came with it's force, quit OF

had won and with timd satisfac-

others to feed in the hedges. When
every effort to eat was exhausted
then another incident came to mind
where there was more taken up than
was put out. l think there was a
safe estimate of 200 all told, gathered
and | am satisfied the crowd could
have been fed twice with ease.
After dinner music was furnished
by Mr.. Griffin and Mr.. Ardis, banjo
and violin. Not few young ladies
gave a display Of their talent, vocal
and instrumental, upon the organ
OF Mr.. Evans, whose generosity made
him champion Of the occasion by fur
nishing the ground and throwing open
his doors to the crowd for the day.
Everything passed beautifully.

But how could it be otherwise when
everything was So thoroughly ar
ranged. Napoleon with all his strategy
could not have better planned.
We had David the commander-in-
chief; Ezra, the general manager Of
the table rules and manners and Viii.
liam, field marshal, who won the day
in glory, conquering with food and

Crusade Against
Unclean Shops
Unsanitary BARRIERS
Fined and Jailed
State Board Enforcing the Law For
Safeguarding Public From
Disease

The State Board of Examiners of
BARRIERS has renewed its crusade
against unsanitary shops in Denver.
This week ]. E. Motter, operating at
1916 Larimer street, was found guilty
by Judge Hoard in the County Court
of barbering without a license and
having an unsanitary place. He was
fined SO and costs and thirty days in
jail This is the fourth time Motter
has been arrested on similar charge,
and each time fined SO and costs.
The board asserts it will keep up the
crusade until every barber shop in Den
yer and the state is operated under
healthful conditions and the public
given the protection provided for in
the law The courts have at last
begun to cooperate with the board
in this work.
Some interesting facts concerning
the work of the board were secured by
The Bulletin on a visit to the Capitol
building this week. During the year
ending May 80, 1913. 466 permits were
granted and 234 licenses issued. Fifty
two applicants failed in examination
and their fee of s5 was refunded, and
ninety-four permits were cancelled for
cause During this period seventy
eight applicants for permits were re-
fused, some not having served the re-
quired three years apprenticeship and
others being affected with tuberculosis
and other contagious diseases.
AT present there are eighty-five
Moler college apprentices and inety-
nine apprentices at large in the state.
For 1913 a total OF 1.74e iourneymen
BARRIERS licenses have been renewed.
Nine shops were closed for being un-
sanitary and twelve prosecuted for
violations OF the law. eleven being
convicted.
There are 500 less BARRIERS in Colo
rado than when the law became op-
erative four years ago. This is be-
cause the standard of workmanship
necessary under the inspection has
been raised and. the disease-breeding
shops have been forced TO quit Tin
can shops have become ancient his
tory in Colorado. The licenses of fif-
teen habitual drunkards were revoked.
Improvement along this line has been
of benefit to the customer as well as
the barber.
The present board is composed of A
F. Browns. president; Phil Strubel.

Metaliferous Mining
Most Dangerous Work
IN PROPORTION TO MEN. KILLS
MORE THAN COAL,
First Time United States Bureau
Has Shown Relative Degree Of
Danger In Mining.

Contrary to general belief. mining
for gold. silver. copper. iron anc
other metals in a more hazardous oc.
cupation in the United States than
made by the Government Bureau OF
Mines.
With great disasters occurring at
intervals In the coal mines and kill.
ing 10 or more men at a time, the in.
preston has prevailed that no other
branch OF the mining industry con.
tains SO much danger and such n
high rate of fatalities, but the bu.
reau OF mines reports that the metal
mines in 1911 killed more than four
men in every 1000 employed-4.1s
to be exact-while the death rate in
the coal mines for the same year
was 3.73 In every 1000 men EN-
ployed. The great proportion OF
deaths In the metal mines is con-
sidered all the more striking be-
cause OF the fact that the metal
mines are free. from gases and dust
such as cause explosions In coal
mines.
The report of the Bureau OF Mines
also bears the statement that the
American death rate In the metal
mines is exceeded by only three
other countries. Mexico. Peru and
Transvaal. 1t gives the death rate
in the mines Of Great Britain as 1.6l
per 1000 men employed: Germany,
1.29 per 1000. and In France. SIG.
This is the first time in the his.
tory OF the United States that anv
attempt has been made to show the
relative degree OF danger In the
metal mines.
The statistics show that 165,97s
men were employed In these mines
in 1911. and that 695 were killed. A
total OF 4.169. or 20 out of every 1.00C
employed. were seriously injured
and the men slightly injured mum
bered 22,i0S. or 1876 in every 1000
employed. In addition 297 women
were made widows and 600 children
| were left fatherless.

beaches at Washington park and
Berkeley Lake park Monday was
a very hot day and the brown
skinned sons of hippo went splashins
in Washington park lake in consider
able numbers. Complaint was made.
with the result that an order was
posted restricting use of the public
bathing beaches to the Caucasian
race.
This at once raised another war
cloud among the Japs and 'fnterna
tional complications loomed up big
in the eyes of local officials. a com-
mittee of Japs proceeded forthwith 10
make formal protest to the Nipponese
ambassador at Washington However.
IL is not recorded that Secretary of
State Bryan is on his way to Denver
to push back the aforesaid war cloud.
The same edict prohibited negroes
from using the park bathing beaches.
though they deny ever having at
tempted TO thus intrude themselves
upon the white brothers and sisters.
Commissioner Thum declares he
was not aware that any national treaty
provided for halfnaked Mongolians
bathing in Denver's park lakes with
white citizens until committee of
laps called on him this week to pro-
test against the swimming exclusion
proclamation.

According TO DIR. Mogg. one-half cent

paid for cherry picking in that sec

be called upon to spend more than
that amount The pickers declare
that the work is worth at least a cent
a pound. as at that figure they can
make fairly good days wage.
DR. Mogg is authority for the state
ment that the cherries are so thick
on the trees that good wages can be
made at the rate he wishes TO pay.
In this connection he said that one
girl made 50 for days work and
that another cleared s1.s5 for sA
