GROUNDS AROUND OLO
HOT SPRINGS HOTEL An
IDEAL CAMPIN6 PLACE

What Is considered by many who
have enjoyed an outing there to be
the best camping place for tourists
to be found anywhere in the state
are the grounds about the old Hot
Springs hotel. up the Arkansas river
near the entrance to the Gorge.
Thanks to the efforts Of the chamber
OF commerce to make the spot an
ideal one for those who may be tour
ing the country aroung Canon. wat
er has been piped into the camp and
other conveniences arranged for the
tourist
Many automobile parties have TAX
en- advantage OF the grounds since
they were secured for the purpose
and almost daily their tents can be
seen pitched in the grove. One day
this week i've different parties were
camped there. Secretary George has
sent a great many motorists to the
camping grounds and has been told
by a number that they found the
place the best one In which they
have camped out on their trips.
The fact that the grounds are con.
venient to the city and yet far enough
away to make them almost in the
mountains adds TO the attractiveness
of the spot.

HOW TO DRINK FROM
A BUBBLING FOUNTAIN
BITE THE BUBBLE"

If improperly constructed or improp
erly used, the bubbling drinking foun-
tain may be a greater menace to
health than the common drinking
cup The other day an inspector of
the U. S. Public Health Service took
a. seat beside bubbling drinking
fountain in railway station and
watched the way in which it was
used. Forty-seven different persons, Of
whom eleven were men, twenty-five
were women, and fourteen were chill
dren. used the bubbling fountain. In
almost every case the lips were plac-
ed almost completely around the met
al ball from which the water spurted,
and one small boy seemed as if he
were trying to swallow it. Several
of the men obviously were chewing
tobacco. OF the forty-seven people. 4
were colcred, looked as though they
might have tuberculosis and 8 had
an eruption upon the face.
Every person using the bubbling
drinking fountain should bear in
mind that the object Of this sanitary
device is to prevent the interchange
of mouth secretions- When mucous
and other matter becomes attached to
metal it sometimes requiers consider
able force to remove it, and this is
not always accomplished by>a slow
ly moving current Of water In using
the bubbling fountain the rule should
be Bite the Bubble" The lips should
not touch any part of the fountain
and under no condition should the
fountain be used for rinsing the mouth
or for expectorating.

CRY AUTHORITIES MIGHT HELP
IN ABAIING THE FLY NUISANCE

They were disposed of at less than
the cost of making them
1t is the opinion OF some people
that the City Council should cooper
ate with the league and furnish a
person to look after the traps, bait
them when necessary and dispose of
the accumulated flies. Probably, ii
this were done, those who may OBJ
'ject to cleaning the traps might be
more willing to keep them In good
running order in front of their places
of business. This is a matter that
should receive prompt attention in
order to obtain the best results.
Canon City has fewer flies this sum
mer than ever before but there are
few million more in town than
ought to be here. Clean streets and
the prompt destruction OF all germ
bearing filth and refuse will do much
toward cutting down the fly pest.
Livery stables, the back doors Of
hotels and restaurants are popular
resorts for flies during the war wealth
er and owners of these places should
be earnest in their effort to help
mitigate the evil The Record is
glad to state that some of them do,
but there are others who are not so
thoughtful for the city's welfare.

Where are the seventy odd ny
traps that were disposed Of by the
Civic Improvement League to the
business houses along Main and the
intersecting Cross streets?
. The Record made careful search
today and found Just about thirty in
use.
What has become Of the rest?
Are they being kept as souvenirs
by the ones who bought them or do
their owners object to having the job
of batting the traps and keeping them
clean!
This is the typhoid season and 1t
is a known fact that flies dissent
nate more germs than are Scattered
about through any other source. This
being the case every possible means
should be used TO keep the fly nuis-
ance down to the lowest possible
point 1t is obvious TO anyone who
passes along Main street that the
traps are doing their duty admirably
as is evidenced by the thousands Of
fiys that have been caught in the
netting. That just as many more
might have been victims is just as
true were the rest of the traps used
The Civic improvement league sold
about s5 traps. all but half dozen
or so, being sold to business houses.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNCERTAIN,
With Indications of Renewed Selling
 at a Reduced Rate.

New York, May 4.-Reactionary ten- dencies such as made yesterdays re- versal noteworthy were lacking in to- days stock market, but the undertone was upncertain for the greater part of
 the session, with sub-surface indica-
 tions of renewed selling on a reduced
 scale. Few if any of these offerings were for foreign account however, in striking contrast to yesterdays oper- ations. Trading was comparatively light, with frequent pauses during the
 mid-session.
 Severe declines were registered by
 some of the war speciaities at the out
 set. notably in Pressed Steel Car,
 which fell more than six points, but
 soon made substantial recovery. Li-
 quidation in these issues may have
 been impelled by runors that the
 banks were showing some discrimi-
 nation against collateral of this char acter in loans. Westinghouse Electric
 held better than any others of that
 group, at no time yielding more than a fraction and later rising five points on very active trading. Other indus trials and equipments of the same class gained two to four points and motor and fertilizer shares rose in like de-
 gree. Coppers were consistently strong throughout, although recent reports of large orders for export have not ma terialized.
 United States Steel hesitated in the
 early dealings, but rose a point later, despite incessant selling. Canadian Pacific one of yesterdays weak fea-
 lures, recovered more than half it's de-
 cline and Union Pacific, St. Paul, Le- high Valley, New Haven and Rock Is-
 land were up one to two points. Stude- baker relinquished all it's early gain
 in the final dealings on the declaration of an initial quarterly dividend of IA per cent such action having evil dently been anticipated. The entire list shaded moderately at the close. Total sales of stocks amounted to 638. GOO shares.
 The financial event of the day was the sale to a bankers syndicate of $65, 100000 Pennsylvania Railroad 1-2 general mortgage bonds, to be used in
 large part for refunding an issue of 8 1-2 per cent. convertibles. Public offering of these bonds will afford an- other test of investment conditions. The bond market was irregular on light and narrow dealings. Total sales, par value. aggregated S5,470,00O.

While in Havana in the course of the worlds heavyweight championship battle, Richard Elegin, a man who has been a successful promoter in Europe, made a proposition to Gibbons which the latter immediately accepted The most convincing way for a boxer to prove his merit is to compete. No end of newspaper chatter or press agents adjectives will make a champion The ring is the clearing house Gibbons believes in that, so he agreed to meet any three men in the world whom Klegin would select or the public elect.

BAN JOHNSON FAVoRS
 WITHDRAWAL OF SUITS
Between Organized Ball and the Fed
 eral Leaque.

Boston, May 4.-Ban B. Johnson, president of the American league. to- day declared himself in favor of with drawing from the courts of the coun- try suits between organized baseball and the Federal league. A suggestion to this eect from Philip Ball, presi- dent of the St. Louis club of the Fed eral league. met with his consent.
 Mir. Johnson explained that in an earlier statement to the effect that he Illinois federal court now awaiting de- cision by Judge Kenisaw NJ. Landis, withdrawn, he did not refer to this case in particular. "The suggestion and my acceptance of it.'' he said, referred to the suits generally at issue between the Federal league interests and those allied with the national commission. Baseball should have been kpt out of tn courts and it is not now too late to reach an agreement outside of the court rooms, believe"
 President Johnson read despatches from various sections of the country in which other baseball league officials said they knew nothing of the proposal to withdraw the suits. He smiled as he read some of them, but he declined to make any comment.
 In addition to the suit pending be- fore Judge Landis, in which it has
 been said that organized baseball as an institution is vitally interested, President Johnson said the other suits to which organized baseball and the Federal league either directly or indi- = rectly were parties, aected individual players who had jumped contracts. He expressed the opinion that the national pastime as professionalized
 would be bettered by the trials which it is undergoing" He asserted that peace, or an agreement between organ ized baseball and the Federal league was not immediately in sight and had not recently been discussed, but he added that he had no fears for the future.
