cast a ballot at the city election In

ulation. reapportionment in the
state assembly has been introduo-
ed by Senator William c. Rob-
inson, Republican. which will give the
Democrats chance to settle mooted
political question purely on its merits
without gerrymandering. The bill is
based upon the last federal census OF
the state and allows one senator to
, every 22.s29 inhabitants. 1t allows
representative in the house to every
1922 inhabitants.
Under the constitution the member
ships OF the senate and house canno.
be increased. Thus. to get the proper
proportion. the increased population
under the new census must be divided
by IS. the membership OF the the SEN
ate, and So. the membership OF the
house. Under Senator Robinson's bill
Denver is entitled to nine senators.
The eastern section OF the state. be-
cause OF Its increased population. also
gets an increase in senatorial repre-
sentation. for which IL has been clam

How Frostbite Comes.

The first effect of cold on the skin is
to contract the tiny vessels that connect
arteries and veins. Arteries are yes
sells that take blood from the heart.
Veins are those that bring blood back
to the heart, and the connecting YES
sells are called capillaries. While these
little vessels are contracting the SKIN
itself becomes tenser. In few mo-
ments or minutes the effects change.
The tiny nerves whose stimulation
caused contraction of the capillaries
are more or less paralyzed, and the YES
sells dilate so the skin gets red. Soon
the veins are dilated. and the skin be-
comes blush. Then the nutrient fluid
In the skin fhe lymph) is coagulated.
and the stretched skin ruptures or
"chaps." If the cold is more severe its
action is deeper, and the blood Itself
may be coagulated. This is frostbite.
