DENVER ADOP TS NEW FORM OF
 GOVERNMENT

DENVER, Aug. ?. - From the ashes of the old mayor and commission forms, new type of municipal govern ment has arisen in Denver. This city has abandoned the commission form of government for a system character ized by it's supporters as the elective manager plan.
 The new system provides for the election of a mayor, nine cOuncilmen. and city auditor. The mayor is head of the government, and appoints man agers of parks and improvements, re. venue. safety and excise, and health and charity, These four executives constitute the mayors cabinet" and meet with him once a week to discuss questions of policy. They constitute the executive branch of the govern ment and have no legislative func tions.
 The executive, legislative and audit. ing departments are independent of each other. The nine councilmen com pose the legislative branch. A civil service board is appointed by the local district judges.
 Figures made public today are cited by city authorities as indicating eco homie reasons which actuated the yot- CTS in deciding last May to abandon commission government. They point out that during the former admins trations of Mayor Robert w. Speer, he conducted the city government on an nual average tex levies $270,576 less than required for commission govern ment, put into permanent improve ments annually $14S,224 and finished each year with a surplus of $179,74S as against deficits of $121,576 under commission government.
 In this connection 1t was explained that under neither form of government did the above comparative figures in clude levies for mountain parks, main tenance of parks, sinking funds, bond ed indebtedness, firemen's pensions and county levies.
 The statement by the city authori- ties also adds that since the inaugu- ration of the new system the city pay roll has been reduced $93,700, despite the fact that the addition of coun- cil and central inspection department added $9,300 to the budget. This leaves net annual saving of $79,oOO, they say. Seventy-seven city positions were abolished and thirty-five were reduced to standardized salaries.

FIRST CAFETERIA NETS WOMAN
 S4O,000

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2. - If you were a woman absolutely inexperi- enced in business, save for having run Y. w. c. A. lunch room in a small Michigan town, and you took into partnership two women who had not ventured even thus far into business, would you expect to revolutionize peo- ple's eating habits and incidentally make $4O.0OO for yourself in seven years? It has been done.
 In May, 1905, Miss Helen s. Mosher, of Michigan, with Mrs. Nellie Estab and Mrs. Pauline Bolts opened. on the fringe of the downtown retail district here, a noon lunch room especially catering to business people.
 Curious persons Investigating the cafeteria" signs on the windows, found a well lighted semi-basement room with 75 tables, long steamtable heaped with home cooked foods, and stacks of trays on one of which each proceeded to carry to a table the meal of his own choice. He also had to carry his empty dishes back to the rear of the room when through. With in a few days a "queue" of would-be patrons extended into the street at each lunch hour, and within a few weeks the same phenomenon existed at the dinner hour.
 Since that time much of life in Los Angeles has been just one cafeteria after another Within year or so after the establishment of the first cafeteria, practically every downtown restaurant except the most expensive and the comparatively few serving li- quor had gone out of business. At the present tens of thousands of meals are served in the downtown cafeterias daily, one place alone, two blocks from the original cafeteria. which still ex- ists. seating 1000 persons. Women as owners have entirely disappeared from the local field.
 The three women, after having opened a second cafeteria here and an other in San Francisco closed out their business in 1912, no longer feel. ing the necessity for engaging in the strenuous competition. Miss Mosher, now pursuing a more leisurely voca- tion here, does not remember cer- tainly where she found the name cafeteria" save that she thinks small lunch room in Chicago was so called

PHYSICIAN WINS FAMS AND NOBEL
 PRIZE

VIENNA, Aug. 2. Entering the war as volunteer surgeon little known outside the circle of specialists of his own class, Dr. Robert Barany of Vienna, after fifteen months of cap, tivity in Russia, has at last returned as an exchange invalid" to find him. self famous as the Nobel prize winner in medicine.
 The knowledge Yhich was the basis of his prize winning book was gained chiefly as surgeon in Przemsyl; the book itself was written in captivity; 1t has brought him 400, ,O00 crowns in money; and it played no small part in securing his release from Turke, stan.
 The dramatic circumstances sur rounding his achievement have great ly heightened the effect of his return to his family. Nominally he was per mitted to leave Russia because he is slightly lame from an affection ol one foot from which he has suffered since a child. Actually, his unexpect ed distinction. plus the efforts of Prince Karl of Sweden. went far to secure his exchange.
 Despite his lameness, Dr. Barany volunteered for service at the out break of the war. and was detailed as chief surgeon of the surgical de partment of hospital in Przemsyl. It was while there, as he modestly ex- plains. that he was "sO fortunate to discover a new method for the treat ment of head wounds" a discovery that enabled him to cure vastly greater percentage of cases than be, fore.
 For four weeks after the fall oi Przemsyl the Russian commander al lowed Austrian physicians to remain Then in transports of about 100 they were sent to various parts of Russia many to Siberia, the surgeon and many others to Turkestan. Unlike many others. Dr. Barany on his return has reported almost universally good treatment in captivity, treatment that included sufficiency of decent food liberty not too restricted, and plea sant professional relations with Rus sian commanders and colleagues. Dr Barany was given fairly ample oppor tunity to practice, and to lecture or his speciality to Russian and captive Austrian physicians.
