PROMINENT LAWYER
IS OPPOSED TO THE
PROPOSED CHARTER
Neil B. Field Calls Attention to
a Number of Features Which,
in His Opinion, Are Sufficient
to Warrant Its Rejection.

Always Interested In public matters.
Nell b Field has given the proposed
city charter careful thought. To an
Evening Herald reporter today he said
hat he a opposed To the charter.
He called attention to a number OF
features In the charter whAch he said
were sufficient To condemn IT, The
first of these IN that the city manager
does not have to be secured Nv Alpu-
qucrque, or ever In the atate of New
Mexico. lie believes that a man fu-
miliar with conditions In Albuquerque
can best serve the interests Of tho
taxpayers. His second objection Is
that there II no limit placed on the
salary which the commissioners are
allowed 10 pay the manager.
Mr.. Field SAYS THAI he IL probably
old fashioned. lie is one of those who
still believes that "a representative
form OF government is best ana That
la local community Is capable Of gov
erning itself Public sentiment is,
after all, he says. what controls On
city government. city officials yield
TO pupnlic sentiment when II Is pro
nounced. He thinks the referendum
and recall do not accomplish the oh.
jccts for which they aim.
Among other defects In the proposed
icharter pointed out by MIR. Field are
these There ~ no recall for the
city manager or for any Of the en-
plOyes. The commissioners are IN,
only ones subject To recall land in or

the manager could appeal to an

Among distinguished women who have
helped to shed light upon abstruse sub
jects was Caroline Lucretia Herschel,
the noted astronomer. She was the
daughter of musician of Hanover.
Her early education was designed to
lead to q musical career. She accom-
panied her brother, William after
ward the illustrious Sir William Her
schel-to England. Brother and sister
soon turned their attention to astrono-
my and in 1903 Caroline published

liam died in 1922 she was content for
the most part to be known only as his
assistant, but later she engaged in
many original and independent investi-
cations. She devoted special attention

PUTTING the Cat out Al Nioht.

The practice of turning the cat out of
doors at night is as, cruel as it is un-
necessary. No animal is fonder of
warmth and comfort, and the pets hap.
piness certainly is not increased bS a
night spent outside in cold and damp.
ness
If as much energy was exhausted in
keeping the cat indoors as too often is
expended in putting her out, how great
would be the boon to human nerves
and unfortunate wild things! All fe-
lines are normally nocturnal, and it is
at night, if ever that curb on their
activities is needed.-Lee s. Crandall,

RHODES DIED DISSATISFIED.
His Last Words Were, $50 Little Done,
So Much to Do"


$50 little done, SO much to do
This was the sigh of Cecil Rhodes,
one of the greatest men the world ever
knew. John Hays Hammond, who
knew him well, tells about Rhodes in
the American Magazine. He says:
1.-THE achievements Of Rhodes are al
most unthinkable. Long before Amer
lean trusts were attempted he formed
what was then the greatest business
combination in history and became alb
solute autocrat of the diamond bust
ness of the whole world. He organized
a huge consolidation Of gold compa-
MES. He was the first finaneier coura-
geous enough to institute deep level
mining OH the Rand, the method on
which now depends the future Of the
greatest of all gold fields.
mo Roman emperor ever won more
territory than Rhodes brought under
his native British flag. Through the
chartered company, incorporated in
1889, he added to the British colonial
dominions territory equal to the COM
bined areas of the British isles, France,
Prussia, Austria and Spain. He made
possible the federation of all South AZ
rican states and planned to link Cape
Colony and Cairo by rail, project that
he carried halfway to fruition before
he was cut off by death when he was
only forty-nine years old.
"Yet with this record of empire build
ing behind him his last words as he lay
dying were these:
$50 little done, SO much to do"

Spend no strength in worry. You
need it all for 5uty.-Anon.
The Professor Worried.

The absent minded professor from
the university town was in Indianap-
oils attending a convention. While in
the city he took a tour of the larger de-
partment stores. In one of them he
was much perplexed.
He read the sign over the door of the
elevator:
This car express to fifth and sixth
floors. Up only
Absently he read the. sign again.
Then the car door opened.
II would like to know" he asked the
elevator boy, ''is this elevator goes only
up. how on earth did you get SHOWN
here?'
The elevator boy grinned, frowned,
scrutinized the man closely and then
said in a dignificd voice. ooh, | just
came down."-Indianapolis News.

Health Examinations.

Periodic health examinations are
the best safeguard against degenera-
tive Diseases" says a leading physi-
clan. at is as foolish for man to
neglect his health and not consult a
physician until he suffers acute pain as
it would be for business man to go
without having his books balanced I'M
til after he had gone into bankruptcy.
Every man should be compelled to take
a physical examination and learn just
how he can improve his health. TIE
know what you lack is the fist step
toward getting it."

KEEPING TREES IN HEALTH.
Roots and Crowns Must Be Made to
Balance Properly,

balance PROPERLY
Well nourished, healthy trees are less
liable to the attacks of insects than
those that for lack of sutfic Gent plant
food are making a slow and uncertain
growth. TO keep trees well fortified
and i'll vigorous condition is the best
possible insurance against insect dep
relations and all forms of disease.
soil which supplies abundant nu-
triment and moisture is the prime req
uisite for successful tree culture. In
the forest natural conditions are fa-
vorable in This respect, but in the open
field or town they are frequently quite
the reverse. The roots are robbed Of
the required moisture and air.by heavy
sod or pavements TO grow trees I'M
der such conditions requires scientific
care. in the way of fertilizing and prun-
ling to maintain proper balance be-
tween the roots and the crown or top
If the nOurishment received by the
roots is scanty the judicious thinning
out of the branches of tree has much
the same effect as soil Improvements
A heavy top cannot be adequately
nourished by a stinted root growth,
and if not pruned the effect is quickly
indicated by dying branches here and
there, natures way of maintaining
the right balance between root and
crown. 1t is better for the'tree to fore
stall nature in this respect by timely
and careful pruning. Dead branches
are not only unsightly, but the scars
thus left are slow to heal and invite
disease and decay.-Tree Talk.

THE PLAY OF "HAMLEr."

of its popularity, he says that to this

This enormous mass is the climax of
the great Alaskan range which extends
roughly east and west across southeast
central Alaska, separating the vast

lated country whose shores are the
gulf of Alaska. The range parallels
the mighty Yukon many miles to its
mouth.
The reservation contains 2,2O0 square
miles. Its northern slopes, which over
look the Tanana watershed with its
gold mining industry, are broad val

caribou. Its southern plateau is Il

which glaciers of great length and
enormous bulk flow into the valleys of
the south. In this National park, which
the railroad now building by govern
ment into the Alaskan interior will
open to the public, America possesses
Alpine scenery upon a titanic scale.
From the stormy south Mount Nc
Kinley is wholly inaccessible. But
from the plains OF the north valleys of
easy grade lead-zon from another to
its foot. -
ut is an awe inspiring region of mas
sive mountains and ice capped peaks"
Belmore Browne OF the Campfire club
testified before the senate committee
on territories. 1.-The Piedmont plateau
that follows the range affords beau
tiful roadway direct to Mount McKin-
ley, and when you reach the plateau
all difficulties vanish and you see
view that is unique on this earth. You
see the huge mountain line of perpet-
ual snow, rising like a great wall on
the southeast. You can ride pony to
where Mount Mckinley rises 1900
feet above you In a glittering wall Of
snow and ice. 1t Is fanked by stu
pendous mountains, which make Won
derful setting for the monster"
North of the vast mountain, however,
is rolling country dotted with beau
tiful lakes and forests and inhabited
by enormous herds of caribou. In fact,
the special reason why congress set
apart the region at this time was to
conserve the wild animal life in adj
vance of the invasion of hunters which
the new government railroad will bring
into Alaska, the road as projected run
ming within twenty miles of this great
est OF natures spectacles.
Charles Sheldon of the Boone and
Crockett club told the senate commit
tee that several times he has counted
as many as 500 mountain sheep in
single day of ordinary travel and that
herds of caribou numbering from 1900
to 1900 are frequently seen.
AS game refuge and breeding
ground the new National park con-
serves Alaskan game which elsewhere
is rapidly disappearing. AS in the case
of the Yellowstone National park, the
reservation serves as a perpetual cen
ter of game supply for large neighbor-
ing areas.
W. These animals do not greatly fear
man, because they have never been
hunted One can approach the great
herds of caribou. There are also many
Alaskan bear of great size.
An extensive educational campaign
has been inaugurated by the depart
ment of the interior for the Informal
ton of the people concerning the hith-
erto unknown quality and extent of
our national parks, of their scenic and
recreatlonal possessions, under which
public interest in our national parks is
growing with unanticipated speed, and
public realization, interest and prac-
ticaluse is the condition as well as the
object of national parks development.
Public patronage OF the parks has In
creased rapidly and steadily
Cooperation in the public interest
has been promoted between railroads
and the government, between sconces-
sioners and park arrangements and be-
tween parks. Large private capital
has been induced to enter several ma
tional parks for the enlargement and
improvement of hotel and, transporta-
ton service. Prices to the public have
been decreased wherever possible. =.
