State Students Need More Room,

The great need of Colorado state ed.

improvements and additional facilities
for handling more students. This is
the opinion of Leslie Hubbard, attor.

turned from trip on which he made
an exhaustive study of such institu.

Board of Health by John Lynch, COM
missioner. Its powers at present are
restricted to investigations for impur-

From the standpoint OF health, the
board is believed by a number OF leg

pose trade combinations wherein the
consumer holds the sack.
Again, il would give the health
board certain additional powers to
compensate, in a way, for the author
ity shorn from its activities by the
medical practice bill, which became a
law few days ago. Instead of a sub
sidiary committee OF the health board
acting on the licenses OF physicians,
the new law provides for that duty TO
be performed by the State Board Of
Medical Examiners.
The first intimation Of such per-
manent body to be invested with pow

MONUMENT OF REAL COURAGE
Deserved Tribute Paid to One Man
Who Fought Resolutely Against
Adversely.

There died recently in Louisville,
KY, a remarkable old man, James
Morrison Heady by name. Born
eighty-three years ago in the city in
which he died, the son of a prosper
GUS physician, he was a normal child
from the physical side, the Detroit
Free Press observes. When six years
old a flying chip destroyed the sight
of his right eye. When sixteen years
old he fell during a s%cufle, striking
his left eye on another boys foot and
becoming totally blind. Thereafter
he was educated in a blind school and
became an expert musician. At forty
four he lost his hearing, so that he
could no longer carr his living by
his music. But he found a way to
write music and books for children
and the blind.
Despite blindness and deafness he
fought his battle cheerfully, far more
cheerfully than many do who are
without handicaps of any sort. And
he got a lot out Of life besides a mere
living. He rode horses, took long
walks about his native city, knew
hundreds of children, to whom, with
his long, white beard he was the per-
soniication of a good fairy.
To him there was no blindness, no
deafness at all. There was inner sun
light, inner music, cat evening time
it was light" all the way to the shore
of the Last River.
Such lives are worth enshrining in
memory. They are monuments Of
real courage.
