GRADE SCHOOL NEWS

Dr. Clapp met the Glenwood Springs
room last Tuesday. The matter of
school tests was taken up, and stand
ard tests were provided the schools in
order that the teachers may examine
their pupils to see where their weakest
points are.
The Russell Sage foundation tests
were given the grades last week and in
spite of the fact that these are adapted
for the close of the term and consc-
quently were given over two months
ahead of time, the grades more than
met the required standard. Those
grades which did the best We're the
third, which made an average of eighty
eight and a fraction per cent, and the
eighth, which made an average of nine
ty-one and fraction. The standard
is eighty-four per cent in this partic-
ular test. The results of other tests
will be given later.
Joe Ward fell from tree in the yard
of Judge Smith Wednesday evening
and broke both the middle fingers on

grade will miss Joe's sunny smile for a
few days.

them as is Denver and many other

q fine of not less than $25 nor moro
than $500 for the failure Of physicians
or parents to report and quarantine

CARANZA Is NOW
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO

Mexico City, March 11.-General
Venustiano Carranza today was elected
president of Mexico by what is be-
lieved to have been the largest vote
ever cast in the republic.
Although tn voters had the privilege
of writing in or declaring any name
they desired, General Carranza received
all but a few scattering ballots. The
estimated vote cast runs all the way
from several hundred thousand to a
million.
The presidential election today was
provided for in articles adopted by the
constitutional assembly which met at
Queretaro.
Many old residents declare it was
the first real election ever held in this
country. Reports from various parts
of the republic indicate that there was
no disturbance or intimidation.
Congressional contests were bitterly
fought. The campaign efforts of the
different candidates in the federal dis
trict lasted until the early hours CT
this morning and the streets were lit
tered with dodgers and handbills. Con
ditions at the polls throughout the dis
trict were orderly and there was a
steady stream of voters during the
day. Troops were not in evidence, the
soldiers casting their votes in their
barracks.
Mexico will now have a constitution,
al president for the first time sinc'
1911 when Francisco Madero received
100000 votes. General Victoriano
Huerta called an election in 1914 and
declared himself elected, but later nul'
lifted the election on the ground that
insufficient number of votes had beeH
cast.
His election to the presidency marks
the climax of the efforts of Genera
Carranza who took the field against
Huerta February 10, 1913, after Huer
tn had seized the executive power
The election today was simpllfled ny
the fact that there is no vice president
under the new constitution.
It will be some time, however, be
fore the results of the congressional
election are definitely known, al
though candidates on the ticket of th3
Constitutionalist-Eb party which
first backed Carranza are running
strong in most districts.

MINISTER SPEAKS HIS MIND

Pueblo minister of the gospel cx-
pressed himself this week in manner
that will find echo in the breast Of
many other preachers. The trouble Is
that most ministers, especially in the
small communities, do not dare to
speak thir real sentiments regarding
some of the members of their flosks.
The Pueblo man was able to spcak
freely because he resigned from the
ministry at the same time he vacated
his pulpit. Here is the story sent out
from Pueblo:
Declaring that he is tired of being
buffeted about from pillar to post "at

may desire change in preachers, -

Preaching for Living" and handled
it without gloves. ~

GERMS WILL CATCH ROBBER
WHO WASHED IN THEM

Chicago, March S-Chicago's fire ak
cracksman, who is credited with sever
al robberies in the heart of the loop
is wandering about the city today with
his arteries loaded with ten kinds OF
the most malignant germs known to
medical science.
The germs are expected to lead to
his capture. Physicians say he un-
doubtedly will be forced to have one of
his arms amputated. He stole several
hundred dollars in his latest robbery,
but it will not pay more than one
fourth of what it will cost to save his
life.
The cracksman employed his usual
method on the safe in the DR.. F. A
Ross dental office on State street. He
chopped a Jagged hole through the
steel panels of the safe with fire ak.
When he reached through the hole hs
found 5000 and in pulling out the
money he cut a cash in his arm. A
trail of blood showed today what nap
pened.
After looting the dentists safe, the
robber descended one floor to the med
;cal offices of DIR. f. N. Flint. BY this
time he was bleeding profusely so he
.ought the DOCTORS laboratory.
There he found basin which ar-
parently contained water and some
harmless looking glass slides. He
bathed the cut and ripped up towel
for a bandege. Instead Of pure water
the robber bathed his woundsin fluid
containing millions Of virulent germs.
