the present plan OF organization for
the highway. The delegates were
shown the moving pictures OF the So
ciability run from Colorado-to-the-
Gulf yesterday at the Princess thea
ter and we're enthusiastic over the
possibilities for next year. Last night
they were given box party at the
Burns thcatcr and enjoyed every
minute OF the show. They are
strong for Colorado Springs and are
good roads boosters of the best quail
ity.
This morning they will be taken
on an automobile trip over the Colo
RADIO Springs-Pueblo portion OF the
lorado-to-the-Gulf Highway and
will enjoy the hospitality OF the Pu-
oblo Commercial club. They will
also tour a portion of the Canon City

VILLA LEFT OUT
OF CARRANzA
MEXICO
PLAN

I'll Paso. Tex, Aug. 1.-General
villa has not been invited officially
or unofficially by General Carranza
to take part In the entry OF consti-
tutionalist troops into Mexico city.
This was learned definitely today. 1t
explained in part at least the delay
on tho northern division commander
in moving his forces southwark. VII
Ia could not reach the national cap
itol for several weeks on account OF
railroad conditions. while the troops
OF other divisions are at the gateway
OF the city.
It was learned also that villa has
been recruiting an average of 4OO
men daily at Chihuahua city.
The recruits come from all parts
OF Villas domain. Several hundred
came from the Guerrero district, VII
las old stamping ground. which he
visited recently apparently on a 30
cial mission. Arms and ammunition
in large quantities are arriving daily
at Chihuahua City.

low that point. Alberto Fuentcs.
the constitutional governor, believes
travel to the south unsafe. General
pascual OroZco with nt least 900

country below the state capitol. The
forces of General Obregon, Carran-
zas western army general. were re-
ported ut Irapuato, south of GUIANA
iuato and only a short distance from
the national capitol.
Washington, Aug. l.-George e.
Carrothers, special representative OF
the state department, who has been
accompanying General Villa, arrived
today from FL Paso tnd had a long
difference with Secretary Bryan.
Neither Mr.. Bryan nor Mr.. Carroth-
crs would discuss the matter. but
for several days reports of Villas
disinclination to submit to Carran-
za's orders have been reaching Off
cials here.
Another aspect of the situation
which was not regarded as favorable
was the reported attitude of General
CarranZa on the subject of amnesty.
Some doubts are expressed in official
circles as to whether Carranza would
give pledge for amnesty in any
form or way. being opposed to the
idea that Carbajal's surrender should
be conditioned on anything.

FOREIGN REGISTER
OPPOSED BY j, s.
SHIP OPERATORS

New York, Aug. Officials of
the American Steamship association,
composed of various coastwSe lines,
are disturbed by the news from
Washington that movement was on
foot there to present an emergency
message to congress which would en-
able the large transatlantic steam
ships to obtain American register.
II. b. Raymon. president of the as
ISOLATION, said he feared that any
hasty action by congress might per-
manently injurc the American NOR
chant marine.
"At the present time under the
Panama act OF 1912," Mr.. Raymond
said in formal statement, "any for
eign built ship which at the time OF
its application for admittance to thu
American register is not more than
five years old can become an Ameri-
can vessel. Its officers must be
American citizens, however, and 1t
can enter all trades except the coast
wise trade. Only American ships can
enter the coastwise trade.
The association fears that unless
congress uses the proper deliberation,
in considering any measure to cover
the threatened European wars. a
blow at American shipping may be
struck. For instance. the legislative
body of the nation must be careful in
revising any marine legislation to see
that no error occurs by which these
foreign vessels are allowed In the
coastwise trade"

HANDLING POTATOES RIGHT

Little Trouble Required To Make
Potatoes Which Have Become
Sweet Fit To Eat.


The Maryland Experiment Station In
its Bulletin No. 1s7 finds that potatoes
for eating purposes keep best at tenn
perature Of from 3Ss to AZ They
keep best In a wensentilated cellar or
vault that is moderately dry. They
should not be kept in large heaps or
bins since this will cause them to heat
and spoil Heating il due to poor ven
tiiation and rapid respiration Of the
potatoes. Respiration is the change
that is constantly going on in stored
potatoes. 1t changes the starch and
sugar IA potatoes into carbon uioxide
gas and water. When the tenpera
turs falls below sss in the storase
room, starch changes to. sugar very
rapidly the change being the most
rapid al from 29s to 32s.
The changing Of the starch in the
potato to sugar sweetens Il so that il
IS unfit for cooking purposes. If
potatoes. which have become sweet

lures, are brought into a room Of 10
