they can impress him and his intiu-

In a recent case, all the testimony

Be Developed.

Good spelling and intelligent pune
tuation are the accomplishments that
keep many g~ray-haired women draw
ing good salaries as stenographers in
downtown Offices. The manager OF a
typewriting Office from which are sent
hundreds of stenographers makes no
secret of the fact that good spoilers
are scarce.

other day said the manager, who
had evidently had a run of hard luck
in the spelling line, He wanted a
woman who could spell, No matter
if she's cross-eyed and has a bunch
on her back, he said, If she cal spell
and write an intelligent letter While
this was a rather extreme case 1t
shows that employers are beginning
to grow impatient over the careless
spelling Of today
Another Office sending out many ste.

catches for the unwary. Common

spellers, are strewn throughout these

: plicants put an extra Q in separate;
in many cases the G before the last
syllable in noticeable is missing, while
the correct placing of the Is in the
word parallel reduces many OF the
applicants to a state OF discourage
ment.
Good spelling is a pretty sure sign
of mental alertness," said a business
! man with several Offices and many
3 stenographers. Il find that IL one OF
our stenographers is naturally a good
speller she is interested in the cor
rect spelling and use of new words
that come to her attention in reading
or in dictation. Now as a matter OF
fact it Is no small job to keep up with
the spelling of the hundreds of new
words.
Our Oldest stenographer and our
best speller keeps on her desk a lit

The discovery is said to have been
made that milk keSt in red bottles
will remain sweet and pure longer
than when kept in plain glass or 9th
err colored bottles. Experiments have
been made with the spectrum to de-
termine which of the rays of light af-
feet milk, and 1t has been found that
1t is the rays toward the violet and
of the spectrum that do the mischief.
The red ray is stronger and more
n%eutralizing and probably has some
neutralizing effect upon the lacteal
microbe. IF experiments confirm the
theory that the red bottle preserves
the milk better than the bottle now
in use, the red bottle should be
adopted generally. Such a change
will create a new set OF milk bottle

Metropolitan blemisbes and draw
backs are not often emphasized by the
class Of business men who are per
hans the most interested in bringing
strangers to town-the hotel keepers.
However, a New York boniface has
had the frank and friendly inspiration
to prepare a card of "don'ts" for pre-
sentation to each of his guests.
An early suggestion has to do with
watches and money. Don't wear your
timepiece loose on a fob, and don't
believe that a hip pocket is as secure
as a bank. Why carry a roll, anyway,
when the hotel Office has a safe?
Next, the affable stranger. Don't
let him persuade you that he is an
old friend.

ly respected citizen of the White. water district. Young Koontz held a homestead near that of his father.
 While the press dispatches telling of this jail break state that Koontz was serving q term Of 40 years for manslaughter, this is a mistake, he having been sent up for taking part in n bank robbery at which no one was killed and the bank suffered no loss.
 Several residents of the valley have stated to the Arizona represen. tative that they knew the young man while q resident of the valley and speak in the highest terms of him. ascribing his downfall to his one fault of being easily led and think that un. doubtedly his escapades were the re. suit of the leadership of vicious ac- Guaintances.
 While here Wednesday R. W. er-in-law of the young man, stated that they had every reason to believe that he would have been paroled in the very near future. as the result of their efforts, in which the previous good prison record during the three years that he had served had gained very favorable consideration on the young man could not be persuaded to believe that their efforts would be successful Mir. Koontz has letter from the county attorney of the coun- ty in which the attempted bank rob bery took place, that spoke of the ex- cellent prison record and was very encouraging in the belief that pa role would be soon granted
