ularity ever accorded any man in Den
yer. As a candidate for mayor he car
ried every precinct in the city except
one. Ten months after he assumed
office he lost every precinct in the city
by large majority than he had pre-
viously carried 1t, and the city swung
to a commission form of government.
Speer Man of the Hour
No other man in Denver to-day
could have probably appealed SO
strongly to the taxpayers and voters
for reversion to the mayoral form as
Robert w. Speer. His ability as an
expert city manager is now fully rec
ognized in Denver and the constructive
work he accomplished while he was
for eight years mayor of the city was
his strongest recommendation for re-
election.
Speer was of the boss" type of
mayor, but of the hardest working
kind.
The minutest detail of civic govern
ment was submitted to him for his ap-
proval or disapproval, but he accom-
plished big things in a big way and
practically all the big civic improve
ments that Denver has to-day were
initiated and completed by him. He
built the municipal auditorium, the
public baths. laid out and practically
completed the boulevard and public
parks system, built the first play
grounds, established a municipal band
which gave free Sunday concerts dur
ing winters in the auditorium. deco
rated the city on holidays and during
big conventions, established bathing
beaches in the parks and did many
other things for the welfare and
amusement of the people.
Further, during periods of financial
stress, he planned municipal work to
give employment to the unemployed
Naturally all these things increased
taxation, but the increase was paid
with little complaint, for the people
believed they were getting their
TnOneV's worth.

Every girl needs such a coat as this ON
1t completely covers and protects the
trock, it is easy to slip on and off and it i,
available for many different uses. Here,
it is made of light weight wool material
and without a lining. The cloth show:
black and white checks and the trimming
is pale green linen. The combination Of
materials is much liked one and it is
smart and attractive. If the coat were
wanted for the automobile, it would
be well to use a little heavier material
or perhaps to line with something warmer,
for motoring is a cool sport whatever the
thermometer may register. For travel
and for general wear, the coat illustrated
is as good as anything that could be
offered although it co'ld of course be
made from light weight serge or from
gabardine to be equally correct and
equally desirable. Dark blue serge
would be pretty with collar, cuffs and
belt of plaid taffeta.
For the IL year size will be needed, 4
yards of material 80 inches wide, 81
yards ~ or as yards 54, with y yard 81

San Bernardino Valley, only 20x40

SHOES For THE WOODS

Shoes that may be comfortable for
ordinary walking are apt to be too
small for use when carrying any
weight. Twenty-Five pounds carried
all day will make a tremendous differ
ence to the feet. The shoe should be
big enough to allow the foot to spread
somewhat, but not so big as to let the
foot move around in it as this means
chatting and blisters.
The Navy drill book says of the
marching shoe: "A common defect in
shoes is that they are too tight over
the instep and top loose over the ball
of the foot. If the leather forward
of the instep is too slack, wrinkles will
form. q. The inner edge of the
shoe should be almost straight, the
sole thick and wide, projecting be-
yond the upper leather. The heel
should be low and broad, and the toe
of such length that there will be no
pressure on the ends of the toes or
toe-nails." The army marching shoe
is built on these lines and is an excel
lent pattern.-June Outing.

STUDENTS STUDY
 bERONAUI|CS.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 - A course in naval ar- chefCcture and marine engineering will probably be- announced before tho Cnd of the year and will be n- tloduced into the curriculum of the university in close alliance with the newly established laboratory of aeTnoautiCs presented to the uni versity by w. E. Boeing, Seattle capitalist, aeroolane enthusiast and sportsman.
 Both of these projects are look ed upon as important because of the defense operations centered in tha Northwest. They will be open to seniors and graduate students and will mot be designed to give practical instruction, but rateU to develop ard study scinetifie aspects of the subjects.
 During President suzzallo'a ab- sehce in the East on his annual searca tor new faculty members, Professor E. O. Eastwood of the department of mechanicaI engineer ing, is working on the details ueces- sAryily preliminary to the opening Of the course in aeronauitcs. A fully equipped researcB iaibonatoFy designed to advance the scientific aspects of aeronautics will be housed in one of the buildings of the engineering group as shown on the permanent plans of the untver"ity adopted by the regents year ago.
 The laboratory, which is one of three of its kind in the United States, will consist principally of B s.eel-lined wind tunnel about six ;eet square and 75 feet long. With in the tunnel will be housed deli cate scientifia instruments capable O. measuring a difference of ptres- sure of one-ten-thousandth of a pOun!
 The development of the aero plane has been mostly adTance6 by field eyperfm ents which have en- tailed the loss of hundreds of lives. By attacking the problem of avta- ton in a scientific manner it is hoped by univel sity officials and Mir. Boeing that the sacrifice Of human life will be entirely obViated.
 Tiny models of aerOplanes, a Suc- ton fan. and the delicate pressure instruments will form the equipment of the laboratory. The course will pc strictly scientific and wtl be under the direction of an expert. No effort will be mada to train pilots or to foster any practical expeFi- ments in flying, at least for the present.

IlltteraCy

The same method is pursued in regard to ilHteracy. The license states having the most favora5ble showing are grouped together against these are grouped southern states such a Georgia, Mississippi, and North Carolina, having a very lalge coloredi population. The H. Iiteracy in these statea comes to ds as relic of slavery days, and existed. there in even a larger per centage before the adoption of pro hibition. The license systeml does not promote attendance at school, and the dramshop can nowhere be considered as the handmasden of pro2er educntion. IL is rather a promoter of ignorance and vice.
 Comparing the New England etates, we find that Maine - with prohibition = has the lowest per- centaee of illiteracy of any with the exception of Vermont, and Yer mont had no licensed saloons for fifty yeaTE previous to May 1, 1903, and last year had license is only seventeen towns. If prohibition promotes flliteracy, then the most iliiterate stntes tn the Union ought to be Maine, Kansas, and vermont. On the contrary there arc only four states in the union where the per ceutage of illiteracy is lower than in Karsas, while Maine and Yer mont present the most favorable showing of the New ngIand states.

DRINK-MANUFACTURED "FACTs'
Prof. Jotn 4. NicholIs

In Facts" a pamphlet extensive Iy circulcated IY the liquor inter ests, We find the following CT roneous definition of pNrdhabition and temperance :. Prohibition ueans total abstinence. Temp erano
 means moderation. One opposes the other" This is a plain bare faced attempt to deceive +he un- wary. Prohibition deals with the traffic in alcoholic liquors, that is with the acts of production and sale, and not directly with any per- scnaT liberty which may be involved in 'he individual act of drinking under lawful conditions. ProhiM- ticn ig an established legal right of the state. It's purpose, primar- ilg, is not 10 reform the moral con duct O. the individual, but to re- lieye society from the burdens and dangers imposed upon it by alec 'holic drinks. National Constitution al prohibition of the hqugH traffic is primarily proposed solely on the ground of the evil effects upoR so- ciety. Y ears ago Dr. F. R. Lees properIv defined temperance as fellows: Temp erance is the pro per use of good things; total ao- gtint nee from bad things" Be- cause science has shown conclu- sively that there Is danger even In the moderate use of alcoholic beverages, the word temperancd is generally used as anl equivalent for total abstinence. By keeping these facts in mind we shall not be de- ceived by the false reasoning and chicarery of the liquor interests.

FLYING THROUGH THE AIR
 CURRENTS OF THE NILE

In a recent letter to Nature some interesting experiences of M. Me Lean are described. During his flight up the Nile he found that the vertical air currents were frequent ly very marked. When the wind was only slightly different in di- rection from the line of the river here was a down current on the other side.
 When, however, the river split up into several channels the air was generally descending over the whole neighborhood and was disturbed.
 These down currents were at times so strong that his aeroplane when climbing at it's greatest speed would descend steadily at 3 feet per second. He estimates that the maximum rate of climbing of his machine in still air was 4 feet per second.

HE WAS GIVEN THAT WHICH
 WAS COMING TO HIM
Father spurns Body of Spy Son
 Laid at His Home Door

AMSTERDAM, Further details are reported from the Belgian from tier of the assassination of Nels de Rode, the Belgian, who is alleged to have betrayed Miss Edith Cavell, the English nurse executed at Brus- sels, to the German authorities.
 According to this story, the body of young man who had been kill led by two revolver shots, was found in a street at Schaarbeek, suburb of Brussels, early one morn, ing. He was at once recognized as De Rode, a man of 25 years, a son of retired Belgian major of the Belgian army. The body lay at the door of the mans parents, but the father refused to receive it, and it was taken to the public nor tuary.
 Immediately the German author ities heard of the case they gave strict orders that the affair should be kept as quiet as possible, but instructed the police at the same time to make every effort to dis cover the assassin. The news spread like wildfire, however, and before noon all Brussels knew that man had been put to death.
 The slain man it is said had been suspected for long time of spying for the Gemans. It was reported that he, together with an individual of the same stamp, had made a speciality of enticing young men to take service in the Belgian army and then, when they were on tn point of leaving the country, de tvering them to the Germans.
 But recently it is said, proof had been obtained that it was De Rode who betrayed Miss Cavell to the Germans as well as Architect Baucq who was put to death with her.
 From that moment De Rode's death sentence was signed. There is. it appears a sort of society in Belgium whose members have sworn to levy justice" on those who do spying service for the Germans. Those who shot De Rode are said to have found papers on him that would enable them to trace other such spies.
 In reply to this challenge Gen. von Bissing, the German governor of Belgium, not only imposed fine of S12,000 on Brussels, but levied an equal amount against Schaar- beck where it was committed.

These were welcome as we had not received our haversacks or knap- sacks, they having been returned to the ship in the boats the first night. We as we'll as the people who had suffered losses were from then on well taken care of.
 1t is not the intention of the writer to mention the names of any of the bluejackets of the party for each man having done his share of the work nobly it would be hard to pick any one man for special men, tion, for let 1t be said that every man in the party, both with the boats and at 0tay. stood the hard ships and long hours of work with out a grumble and every one had kind and cheering word for every one they met who had suffered in any way from the flood. And the writer having been thrown in with the people of 0tay considerably during our entire stay only praise, and great deal Of that. was given, it having been their first encounter with the navy and from conversa- ton l might add that they found us just 100 percent above their highest expectations of what the navy was composed of in any way.
 Space does not permit detailed account of all that ensued, but ra- tions were issued each day to the needy as well as clothing and bed ing. The people of 0tay who were not reached by the flood showed noble spirit in caring for the many who were made homeless and the hardships we're greatly lessened by their taking in the needy.
