Idaho Springs Has
Big Rival at 0beron

puIlilS luc past week llc luunO
Springs Medical Company, COM
posed of several wcll-known Den
YER andI Idaho Springs business
men, have purchased the Hcintz
tract i'll Obcron Heights. where
some time ago IA highly mineral
Kcd water course was discovered,
the water of which it is said con
tanS II greater radio-activity than
any spring water yet tested in
Colorado.
The price paid for the property
has not been made public, but it
is good round figure according to
the information at hand. The
new owners propose i'll the very
near future to develop the springs
by the erection Of II large bath
house and swimming pool, and
during the coming summer will ad-
vcrtiSc the merits of the new
springs extensively in the Denver
papers.
The presence Of mineral waters
III the region Of Obcron has been
known for some years past, and
several physicians have noted the
value of the waters as medicine for
their patients, suffering from var
ious ailments such AS kidney and
liver diseases, and have from time
to time recommended the Arvada
waters for their patients.
The new owners of the Obcron
Heights tract are men of energy
and enterprise, and who have good
financial backing and it is predict
ed that they will make Il winner
Of the new undertaking because
of their long continued invcsti-
CATION of its merits, and of the
highly satisfactory results they
have obtained. This enterprise
alone will put Arvada more prom
incntly on the map than any other
factory or enterprise now though,
of or under way, and deserves the
moral support of our citizens, cs-
pccially those who are familiar
with the absolute merit of the min
cral springs by personal contact
and consumption of the waters.
1t looks now as tho Oberon is
most favored spot, as the
springs purchased last week are
likely to be the nucleus for a
splendid health resort. The Ida
no Springs Medical Company is
not a fly by night concern, but is
now manufacturing capsules and
linaments from the Idaho Springs
waters which are being sold on
the drug market today at con.
siderable profit and have to their
credit many cures for rheuma.
tism, stomach trouble. etc. The
springs at Oberon have four of
the same qualities of Idaho and
in addition have two qualities
many times as strong as the ones
now being used in the remedies
above mentioned. Being so con
venient to Denver, and located
where sunshine. air and scenery
are the dominating features it
should give the sanitarium prop
osition "A big impetus. Building
up Oberon Is building up school
District No. 2 and is also build
ing up jefferson county. Ober-
on has our congratulations and
best wishes

to the farmer in order to reclaim
his land: n
First, he should refrain from
applying as large quantities of
water as he has in the past. He
should see to il that his neigh
bors also realize the importance
OF this thing. This will prevent

spreading a. IL has been and is

Second, plant crops which will
shade the ground and prevent
evaporation. Cultivate the soil
and keep a mulch on top. Any.
thlng to prevent evaporation will
prevent the accumulation of aka.

Third, install tile drains IN or.
der that the water table may be
lowered and thus the capillary
connection between the water

BASQUES OF THE PYRENEES.
Those on the Spanish Slopes Are the
Pure Aborigines of Europe.

lou are in the habit of thinking OF
| the inhabitants of France as French
and the inhabitants of Spain as Span
lSh.' Did you happen to read learned
dlsqutSitlOn on the shape of the skulls
or people living on the two slopes of
the Pyrenees, together with the an
nouncement that, contrary TO the be-
lief of scientists, the Basques are not
all or the same origin? And then did
you ask, Who are the Basques?" Pri-
marily they are the people who gave to
the rest of the world a curious kind of
garment for women, but they are far
more interesting to the student of an
thropology and the historical develop
ment Of language than they are to the
designers of women's clothes.
There was time before the present
generation of scientists got to work on
the problem when the Basques. both in
spain and IN France. We're recognized
as the last remnant of the original oc-
cupants OF Europe. the people who
were driven into this backwater of
civilization by the onrush of the Celts

westward and into such out of the wav
corners as they could hold. so that they
are now represented by certain strains
IN Spain, by the Bretons in France. the
Irish, Scotch, Welsh. Cornish and Manx
IN the British isles and by a substra-
tum OF the Bohemians and the Cali
clans. Those who preceded them and
who managed to cling TO the mountain
strongholds OF the Pyrenees are re-
motely related TO the Firms in another
remote backwater. The ones on the
spanish slopes are the pure aborigines

Nj. NJ. CORNER.
Edited by Aunt Jennie.

The children coming up behind me
on the walk were talking busily. OF
course, l could not help hearing, for
| love the sound of children's voices,
when they are happy, and besides
there could be no harm as l soon
perceived they were speaking only of
that which is good" 1 caught the
name too, so | knew who was meant.
Said one, ''They are nice people"
They've always treated me well" a
second one remarked. Then one boy
left the others and as he started
across the street | heard him say,
They gave me fifty cents for doing
two little errands." Then they passed
me and hurried on.
A simple little incident, forgotten
by them all, no doubt, now, but l often
think of it, especially when l happen
to see this man in a crowd. He doesn't
know what a fine recommendation
l have of him. l say to myself. you
never invested money in a better way,
or when it would bring better re-
turns"
Who knows but in years to come the
wheel of fortune may take a turn and
you become dependent, as we'll as old
and feeble; perhaps this boy will
then be a strong man, rich and in
fluential. Maybe he will have charge
of a home you will be glad to occupy.
Don't think for a minute he will ever
forget you,
Do we prize the good opinion of the
children? What is our attitude to-
ward them? Is it such as will make
them our friends or enemies? Let me
tell you that children can help, or
annoy us in many ways if they are
so disposed. and if we have not their
good will We may seek in vain to do
them good.
A returned missionary said once that
the pleasantest remembrance of that
heather land was of the little Sunday
school children who used to smile
and call out to him on the street,
have now forgotten the word, but il
meant Mr.. Truth" Some of the
mothers even called him The Foreign
Devil
Come to think of it, this was many
years ago. and these children are
grown up now.
What are their ideas of us Ameri-
cans now, I wonder?

MANGLING A WORD.
Why Comptroller Is Used Instead Of
the Correct "Controller."

biS NOTTeSL 0SOnLTOleTs
1t is an old story, many times told
that the scrivenerS centuries ago, igno
rant of Latin, but having heard that in
French 'cOmpter" means to count and
assuming that as the controller has Is
do with money he must Of course
count money, wedged the false and
perverting letter "p" with an M be-
fore it into a perfectly good and cor
rectly formed word.
In late Latin the word is "contraro-
tulator." The keeper of the kings rolls.
the payroll and other accounts. was the
"rotulator." To guard against the pos
sible dishonesty of that official the
king appointed an auditor to check up
his accounts and called him the con
trarotulator"-that Is, the counter roll
keeper. From "contrarotuator" the
word has come into modern languages,
always without the offending p"
In French. Spanish, Italian. German
and Russian we have the word con
troll" meaning the keeping or auditing
Of accounts. and the title of the officer
IN those languages Is spelled always
without the m and the 'p." When
our commissioners 10 the Paris peace
conference in 1898 used the word con
troll" meaning political control of the
Philippines, the Spanish commissioners
We're puzzled; they thought our repre-
sentatives were speaking of matters of
finance.
But the word comptroller" with its
vicious spelling and implication of a
false etymolOgy. is imbedded in the
federal statutes and in the constitution
of the state OF New York. All the
kings oxen could not pull it out against
the BOeotian indifference and inertia Of
those who, If they would, might cor
rect the blunder.-New York Times.

Jane Wenham was indicted at the
HertfOrdshire assizes on March 4, 1872
for ''conversing with the devil in the
form of cat" under the provisions OF
the act of 1904, repealed in 1886. Her
prosecutors wished to have her also in
dicted for practicing witchcraft to the
harm Of Ann Thorn, a servant girl six
teen years old, but this was not al
lowed. although evidence was produced
at the trial to show what injury had
been done the victim by means of
crooked pins and by placing cakes and
cats hair in Ann Thorn's pillow and
how the prisoner had caused the death
of some cattle simply by walking
through a turnip field.
The jury brought her in guilty" and
Justice Powell passed sentence Of
death, but took steps to quash the YER
dict. Wenham's prosecutors published
an account OF the case, but their argu-
ments were pulverized by scientific
men. Jane Wenham herself was liber-
ated and taken under the protection Of
Colonel Piummer, who gave her a cot
tage, and we are told by DR.. Hutchin-
son that in 1920 the whole country was
fully convinced Of her innocence.-Lon-
