TO PROBE WIRE RATES
HEARING ON RATES AND SERVICE
SET FOR JAN. 5, 1916.
Cites Mountain states Telephone
and Telegraph Company.

Denver-The State Public Utilities
Commission ordered q sweeping in
vestigatiOc of telephone rates and
service throughout Colorado. In &C
cordance with its action complaint
was filed with the commission on its
own initiation calling upon the Noun.
tain States Telephone 4 Telegraph
Company to appear before the COM
mission to answer any and all charges
that might be made. The date for the
hearing was set as Jan. 3, 1916.
In accord with the intention of the
commission to make the probe Of tele-
phone conditions as complete and
beneficial as possible the engineer for
the board, Daniel Hooker. formerly
construction engineer for the Colora-
do & Southern railroad. will start at
once to make an appraisement Of the
holdings of the telephone company.
At the same time the expert cleo
trical engineer for the state body.
Fred Rankin, also will begin an invest
igation. The statistician, Fred w.
Herbert. rate expert E. M. Neal and
the various inspectors Of the commits
sion will help In the examination Of
the books and properties of the tele'
phone corporation.
The hearing date is set several
months ahead so the telephone com
pany will have ample time to present
their side Of the case and SO that
each community in the state which
has a grievance may come forward
with proper data.
It also is the desire OF the commits
sion to handle the matter In such u
way that when the final adjustment
is made the state of Colorado will have
model telephone service and
charges equitable to all.

selection OF certain house designs.
All the living rooms and bedrooms
are high enough from the ground to
be safe from ground moisture. which is
another consideration when building
one-story house in this way.
The plan shows three living rooms
on one side of the house and two bed
rooms and bathroom on the other
side. The living rooms usually are
laid out for the sunny side, and the
bedrooms on the north or east. Ii is
easy to reverse 4 floor plan to bring
the rooms on the right side OF the
house.
In building cottage or bungalows 1t
has been found that q partition

The foundation walls may reach up
to tho main house floor. or they may
stop at or little above the lot grade
line. It may be cheaper to build a
superstructure of wood from the
ground level up. This Is done by
placing the sill on the foundation wall,
then either build a superstructure OF

sill, or the joists are made long enough
to reach from the foundation wall to
the plates. With this construction a
2-inch strip is gained into the st4dding
to support the outer ends OF the moor
ioists. The floor joists also are spiked
into the studding. so that the building
"a all tied together at the house floor.
A very pleasing effect is secured by
building the porch partially into the
house proper and extending it few
feet out beyond the house in the man
ner shown in the perspective.
Because the veranda floor is built
6 or Z feet above grade the front steps
are necessarily longer, and they are
built wide to reduce the long enect.
For the same reason the ramparts are
built at the sides of the steps in two
divisions, as shown In the perspective
The main floor is high enough from
the ground to satisfy certain timid peo-
ple who object to living or sleeping
close down to the ground. Low-down
bedroom windows seem so easy of ac-
cess from the outside. This probably
is one reason why houses OF this de-
sign are so popular in certain sec
tions of the country. A large number
of people have horror of night prowl-
ers, very often unnecessarily so. At
the same time, they have their likes
and dislikes, all of which affect the

DARK HORSE FOR PRESIDENT.
Presidents Statement Sent to Villa,
CarrNnxa, Zapata and Gaia,

Washington, June 3.-In his state
ment to the American people, Presi-
dent Wilson served notice on the fac
tional leaders of Mexico that unless
within "a very short time" they unite
to set up government which the
world can recognize, the United States
will be constrained to decide what
means should be employed by the
United States in order to help Mexico
save herself and serve her people,"
Signalling change from the
"watchful waiting policy, which has
guided relations with Mexico for more
than two years. the Presidents state
ment was regarded everywhere in Of
ficial and diplomatic quarters as no.
tice of new and vigorous policy to
restore peace below the Rio Grande.
Everywhere it was interpreted as
warning that the patience of the
United States is exhausted. What
steps the President is prepared to
take II this warning goes unheeded
are not disclosed in the statement In
high official quarters. nevertheless, no
doubt existed that he is prepared to
proceed.
That the United States will have to
select MeXicos man of IRON was the
opinion expressed by the officials
here most familiar with the situation
south OF the Rio Grande.
Not only in official quarters but
among diplomats familiar with the am
bitions of the men now in the saddle
in Mexico, did this belief find utter
ance. They declared that under the
words Of the President himself there
is nothing left for him to do if the
factions prove obdurate, but to Sc
lect man or men who will lead Mex
ico's millions into prosperous condi

STORY OF ST. NICHOLAS
Santa Claus Begins Early in Holland
and Belgium and Then Comes to
United States.

The Hague. Dec. 25-Santa Claus
visits Holland and Belgium each
year about three weeks before he goes
to the United States, for the children
of these two countries honor their
patron saint and receive his annual
gifts on st. Nicholas Day, December g.
st Nicholas lived in Holland and
was Bishop of Amsterdam, where his
memory is honored by a fine statue
His traditional liberality to his parish
toner's led to the custom of hanging up
the childrens stockings on his feast
day so that he might drop a gift there
in. In Holland, Santa Claus is not
only the patron saint of children, but
also the patron of scholars, prospective
brides, sailors, and parish clerks. He
is also the patron saint of Russia
As in previous years, the st. Nicholas
Day gifts in Holland this year were
largely of German manufacture. The
shops were flooded with clockwork
toys of new and ingenious design most
of them naturally suggested by war
Picture books and colored prints were
in infinite variety, and there was a
display of cheap jewelry and enamel
work rather finer than in any previous
years, when presumably much of the
best wares went to markets over seas
that are closed to German goods this
year.
There were Austrian gloves, hats.
candies in great abundance and at
lower prices than ever before OF
more strictly Dutch manufa cture were
the plaques and tiles, the chocolate
birds and beasts. and the fine sweet
meat alphabets with letters sometimes
six inches high.
st. Nicholass Day is celebrated
throughout Holland with much the
same festivities as those of Thanks
giving or Christmas in America
There are no Christmas trees, but
there is great dinner with an Extra
ordinary variety of good things to eat
Neither plum pudding, pumpkin pie
or turkey figure on the Dutch menu
however. The children's stockings are
hung up on the night of December 5,
and are discovered properly filled with
suitable presents at dawn of the 9Th.
Instead of oranges and APPLES, the
Dutch child finds a great variety OF
those famous brown St. Nicholas
cakes rounding out the spaces in the
long stocking.
IN a number of the towns the old
custom of a sort of municipal celebra-
ton endures despite the pressure of
war and hard times. Santa Claus
himself rides through the streets at
the head of a motley collection of
maskers, many of whom carry money
boxes. wherein they gather up contri
buttons for various charitable objects.
This year the collections were almost
exclusively for war objects.
