lne contest Tor delegates 10 llit
national convention at Chicago is
on in earnest with more candi-
dates in the field than seemed
likely few weeks ago. The ticket
for delegates at large, supported
by the governor and at least "A
part of the state organization, is
composed of Coy. Carson, c. W.
Waterman, Speaker Stewart and
DIR. Work. The governor is max
ing the only active campaign 50
far. He is endeavoring to secure
county delegations instructed for
him and has, up-to-date, won out
in 1arimer, his home county.
In Weld, Boulder and Jefferson
counties this question is almost
sure to come up and afford the
most interesting feature of these
conventions. Mr.. Penrose, Of
ColoSado Springs; Mr.. Schuyler,
eof Denver and Judge Ewing, of
Leadville; would like, to 60 as
delegates at large and their friends
will fight for them at Pueblo.
In the first congressional dis
trict Mr.. Stevenson, Mr.. Gram
son, Ralph Smith, [. N.stevens
and Frank Goufy want to go.
In the second congressional
district the list includes Mr.. Wal
lace. of Boulder; Senator Me
Cfcary, of tiTeeley-;; K sei.'
tive Scott, of Sterling; and Pen
rose, of Colorado Springs; If he
can't get in on the big four,
In the third district Taylor of
Trinidad: Reuf of Walscnburg;
Ballrich Of Pueblo and Smith Of
Idaho Springs; are mentioned.
In the fourth district Judge Cat
lin of Monrose and Bulkley Wells,
of Telluride are likely cadidates.
Among the gentlemen named
above are friends of Hughes, Root,
Cummings and Roosevelt.
Although the probability still
is that the delegation will not be
instructed, yet it is doubtful if
anyone can be elected without
letting it be known who is his
first choice for president and
whether there are any among the
prominent candidates that he
could not enthusiastically support.
1t is not likely that candidates
for state officers will show very
much activity until after the
May End, convention, although
the governor is apparently refus-
ing no invitations to address
gatherings of any kind.

The country is talking about a
grandmother's will. 1t is eYclaiming
Wise grandmother That the will
was prompted by her husband,
grandfather, no whit lessons its
scope and Importance. Rather it in
creases them, because it represents a
mans as we'll as Roman's outlook
upon that diversified field VIC call

The woman, dying three weeks aft
err the death OF her husband, devised
a part of her estate as follows:
Whereas my late husband and |,
in certain letter, agreed to give
the sum Of $4,000 to each of our
granddaughter if she prepared a meal
under certain conditions fully set
forth in a letter, give the sum to
my executors to hold in trust until
such time as they comply With the
conditions set forth in such letter,
Should any of my granddaughters fail
to comply with the requirements, set

The two attributes have flung great
nations into ruin. The wise old pair
knew that in this country the rich
man of today may become the poor
man of tomorrow. They knew that
good housewives conserve riches and
prevent poverty.
Another idea, originating perhaps
with grandmother, was an aesthetic
one. All girls like pretty clothes. So
do women. 1t is well that they do.
1t is an expression of their love for
beauty. If this love of beauty savors
of vanity that is not to be deplored.
Vanity is half of self-respect.
Grandmother, after a round of the
milliners and dressmakers in New
York, doubtless folded her useful
hands upon her lap, and, while she
rested, thought;
None Of those things are worth
half what they charge for them. The
material costs very little. We pay
people for knowing how. If our girls
know how to make their clothes they
can dress well for half the money, or
less. 1t will bring pretty clothes
within their means"
Another reason why their course is
approved may not have occurred to
either grandmother or grandpa. Two

Which is your color? Are you domi-
mated by joy-inducing green and
spurred to activity by white, or are
you perchance, made prone to ex-
citement and anger by the dominance
of red or rendered revengeful by
yellow?
All colors, it appears, have their
effect on men and women. AS a ia
nous eye specialist put it. THE effect
of colors upon the temperament Of
human beings is ENORMOUS"
although" he said, people do not
recognize it, they are influenced to
great degree by colors.
at is, of course, hard to define alb
solutely the different effects of vari-
GUS colors, but, broadly speaking, you
may tabulate them, and the influence
each exercises as follows:
"Red-Excitement and anger.
"Yellow-Mischief and revenge.
"Blue-Placidity.
"Green-Happiness.
"Biack-Misery and evil.
"White-Activity.
RED excites, generally to no good
purpose. 1t predisposes, men to
crime and violent effort, though in
the latter case its influenced is often
good as we'll as bad. 1t tends to
induce melancholy in those who arc
influenced by it without being able
to work off the excitement it causes.

lignant color, bringing out the bad

pleasures, and also to revenge and
jealousy. Blue, on the other hand, 10
a peaceful color 1t promotes feel
ing of placid happiness, desire not
to be disturbed, and an antipathy to-
argument or contest. a
Green promotes joy. 1t has many
of the effects of blue, with the adj

rays which help to form green.

makes for sorrow and evil. In black
surroundings : life degenerates."
Black, he said, suggested sorrow to
mortals before they adopted it for
mourning.
He also points out that the mourn
ing color of the Chinese was yellow,
a color which they wore, not as
sign of sorrow, but to propitiate evil
spirits. The Chinese always represent
evil by yellow and attribute death
to evilsPirits.
White is the color of activity. 1t
contains all other rays. Dwellers
among snow and ice are the most
active of all people, having regard to
other influences, such as extreme cold,
which of necessity limits their pow
ers OF performance.

Mrs. Franklin Shotwcll noticed the
new lines Of the frocks. She saw ev-
erywhere evidences Of straighter lines,
largely because of the popularity of
satin fabrics. And she says that the
cast has put the ban on the good old
household word, "the movies Say

If haste demands it you may shorten
the word to cinema drama. Mrs
Shotwell returned only last week
from month spent in New York.
