PEOPLE ARE URGED
TO SEND THEIR N

Albuquerque, Nm. July ID
Young people turnout New Mex
leo who expect to attend the New
Mexico State University during
the college year opening August
%, are being urged to let the
University know of their inten-
tons. While a freshman class
of not less than 100 is assured,
and while arrangements have
been made to care for more than
that number of new students, the
University government does not
wish to be caught as it was a
year ago, in a condition of I'M
preparedness. Before the open
ing of the University in August
of last year every necessary ar
rangement was made to provide
rooms for those who had applied,
or indicated that they would at
tend. About double the number
of young people expected turned
up on the opening day of enroll
ment, and for a few days the
University heads were put to it
to find places wherein the I'M
expected students could sleep in
comfort and eat in plenty. 1t is
desired to know this year as
nearly as possible every student
who expects to enter, so that
adequate provision can be made.

SIMPSON RETURNS FROM
GEOLOGICAL TRIP
Travels 500 Miles in Automobile Over
North Central Part Of State
Found Interesting Phenomena.

Prof. Howard e. Simpson, assistant
state geologist, has returned to Grand
Forks after making rapid trip over
the north central part of the state
for the purpose Of studying the geo.
logical phenomena Of this region.
Prof. Simpson was accompanied by
Walter p. Belyea, a senior in the uni
versity, who drove the car used in
making the trip. They left Bottineau
on Wednesday, August Is. passing
through Westhope, Antler. Sherwood.
Portal, Ignite, Columbus and Moo
nan. One of the interesting, places
visited was the natural gas region
near Westhope. A study was here
made Of gas conditions.
In this region, dozens of farms
have miniature geysers, the cold water
being forced to the surface by the gas
pressure. A squirt of water and
flow Of gas frequently alternate. In
many places more value is placed on
the water than on the gas. since the
former is very scarce in this region.
The gas is piped to the buildings and
is used for heating and lighting pur-
poses.
The second largest coal mine in
the state is located near Noonan.
Over one hundred men were employed
in the. excavation Of coal at the time
the mine was visited.

BIG STRIKE May
AFFECT SCHOOLS

If the tie-up Of transportation IA
cilities in the United States, which
now appears to be imminent, should
continue for any length Of time, it
will be impossible for the Grand
Forks city schools to open for the
1916-17 term on September II. ac-
cording to local school officials, who
declare that only the instructors who
make their homes in this city are now
here and prepared to begin the school
year.
AS the Grand Forks schools are not
scheduled to open until one week aft
er the date which has been set for
the walkout Of railroad employees. it
is feared that the teachers who have
signed contracts to come here for the
year, will be unable to reach the city.
1t is not expected that any Of the
teachers will arrive in the city before
September as only few have not
made reservations for rooms and all
preliminary preparations are in read
iress for their arrival.
AS the situation has not reached
the point where it is considered SER
ious. the school officials have taken
no action and will rely upon the set
tlement OF the differences before the
date set for the opening of the Grand
Forks schools.

Bankers Do Not Fear
Walkout on Sept. a

According to local bankers. strike

the most serious problem that. has
ever confronted them When speak
ing of the proposition to a reporter
this morning, one local banker said:
IF you could see the number Of
checks that we receive through the
mails daily. you could readily under
stand what it would mean to have
transportation facilities brought to a

to get money to pay the demands of
the depositors and we would be fore
ed to quit until normal conditions

and they declare that such
catastrophe is impossible. That con-
gress will intervene before the crisis
is reached. is the opinion of the f.
nanciers. who do not fear that there
will be A tie up.

"Of course, there are q great many

FAMILY OF THREE GUILTY OF ISLANDER Serious Offense in England These Days to Call Man
 a German Spy

London, July S-(Specia1 Correspond about an Englishman these days is that he is German or pro-German. Three people who stand high in Eng fish society have learned this lesson at a cost of damages of s25 each, and costs of the islander suit brought against them. They are Sir Maurice Levy, member of Parliament, of Hum berstone Hall, Leicestershire, and two of his daughters, Miss Violet and Miss Alix. They were prosecuted for islander by Sub-Lieut. Peter Emanuel Wright royal naval air service, armored car section.
 The Levys. according to the evidence just given in court. met Lieutenant Wright some months ago. He was asked to their home. Later they gave a dim ner party. Lieutenant Wright was no1 there, but friend of his, Miss Daphne Fitzgeorge, niece of Admiral Sil Adolphus Fitzgeorge was, and Mis- Fitzgeorge told Lieutenant WrighI about certain dinner table gossip, ana the slander suit resulted. Miss F'itz george was taken in to dinner by Si Maurice Levy and Miss Violet Levy. Miss Alix Levy, Miss Doris Levy ant Miss Norah Levy were also present. Miss Violet Levy opened the conver sation by asking Miss F1tZgeorge | she had seen her friend, MT. Wright lately.
 She answered that she had had te3 with him at the Bath club that day.
 Thereupon Miss Violet Levy said: q don't believe he ever went to Harrow as he says. We have been there an we cannot find his name"
 She added He looks like a Ger man. he speaks like a German; I ar sure he is a German spy"
 Miss Alix Levy then said: T donT know who he is and how he lives, bui I am convinced that he is a Germa spy"
 Miss Fitzgeorge combatted thesi suggestions very strongly, and Sis Maurice Levy then said
 "Of course, he is a German spy an he will be arrested and shot as spi before the war is over"
 Miss Fitzgeorge told LeutenarS Wright, and he brought action. Tn Levys, Wright and Miss Fitzgeorge appeared in court. The Levys denie point blank having even mentioned tn officers name, but Miss Fitzgeorge tol her story on the stand, and the jur4 took her word for what had happened Sir Maurice Levy is considering talk ing an appeal.

The Sick Room for a Baby A by SDeciaIiSt in IuIv So11thern Won.

odpy opeClduSl III July SOulueTH " Olu-
 ans
 Choose a well-lighted, well-ventilated, quiet room. Keep the temperature not over 70. Nothing is so depressing to a child as an overloaded room If he is cold apply well wrapped hot water bot tles or better still, hot blankets. Be care full not to burn him, which is easily done, especially in frail babies Allow no com pany. Illnesses often prove contagious when not suspected so at first Especial ly keep other children away. In the sum mer it is often quite restful to take him out under the shade of a tree. Always nurse the baby on the bed; never in the lap. The bed supports him better, is more comforta ble and allows freer respi- ration while nursing in the lap requires so much more care and attention on the part of the mother.
 Teach the child to consider the doctor his best friend. Never threaten him with the doctor. Do not tell him that he will have to be cut open to keep him from eating imprudently or promise an ampu- tation of the thumb If he doesn't stop sucking it. Do not associate the doctor with dose of castor oil. Children should be accustomed to a routine throat exami- nation, when well, so that when the doctor is obliged to see the throat it will not require such a struggle.

 A little volume that is destined to make something of sensation is The Second Coming: A Vision," by F. A. Hummer and H. P. James. As a motive for their book these. authors have taken the be- lief that the great war is a conflict be- tween the teachings of Christ and of Nietzsche. The vision consists in the appearance of the spirit of Christ during incidents of the stupendous conflict on given of what Christ might say regard ing the war. and in one of the great scenes the Christian viewpoint is ex- pounded in an argument between the spirit of Christ and the Kaiser. 'The Second Coming Is a little volume that strikes a vigorous note for peace and for universal human brotherhood.
