TO STUDY CHINESE LANGUAGE
Business Men Undertake Hard Job,
After Realizing Its Importance,
Says Uncle Sans Consul.

The fact that there are 5000 char
acters in common use in the Chinese
language and many times that num-
ber altogether, including the charac-
ters not generally used in Chinese
newspapers, has prevented American
business men and others dealing with
the Chinese from attempting to master
the language. For long time busi-
ness men have considered it important
when exploiting a market to have some
knowledge of the language in any part
of the world except China. There 1t
has been regarded as an impossibility.
This impression has been somewhat
shaken recently, however, according to
Uncle Sans consul general at Han
kow, China, and foreigners doing busi-
ness in China are turning to a study
of the difficult language. Glasses have
been organized under the auspices of
the British chamber of commerce in
Hankow and are open to students of
the British, allied and neutral nations.

State Employees Paid on Time.

For the first time in the history OF
Colorado, state officers and employees
did not have to wait for their Decem-
ber pay until the new Legislature
passes a short appropriation bill to
cover back expenses. State Treasurer
Allison .Stocker made arrangements
whereby all vouchers issued by his of,
flee during January will be honored
at face value. Heretofore, everyone in
state employ was obliged to wait for
December salaries until the appropria
ton bill could be passed in January.

LIFE-SAvERS TO FLY
Uncle Sans Coast Guard Plans
to Use AirpIanes.
viii Be Able to Carry Lines to
Wrecked Ships and Rescue Many
Who Otherwise Might Perish.

Uncle Sans coast guards soon will
be using airplanes to rescue passen-
gers and sailors from ships wrecked
Authority for the adoption of these
new life-saving methods already has
been granted by congress.
1t is quite naturally the idea of
officials that in the saving of human
life and property from the elements,
which is one of the principal functions
of the coast guard, advantage should
be taken of all new inventions and
methods. Officials of the guard are
of the opinion that aviation has ad-
vanced to such stage that aircraft
rs now constructed and developed can
be used advantageously in the activi-
ties of the coast guard.
1t has been pointed out by those who
are interested in this new branch of
the service that when shipwreck oc-
ours too far from the shore to be
reached with the line-throwing gun,
and the state of the sea makes it i'm
possible to use the service boats, it is
believed possible to carry a line to
the wreck by means of an airplane,
and thereby effect the rescue of per-
sons who might otherwise perish. The
finding of derelicts soon after they are
first reported Is of such vital impor-
tance that their ultimate recovery and
removal from the paths of commerce
ofttimes depends entirely upon the
rapidity with which they are definitely
located, the experts say. The value
of airplanes in this connection has
passed beyond the realm of specula-
ton, and there Is now no doubt that
the use of aircraft will greatly facili-
tate this important work of the coast
guard, the supporters of the move
ment say.
Anticipating that the coast guard
must adopt this new method of life
saving as soon as practicable, three ju-
nior officers have already been as
signed to undergo training at naval
aviation and private schools, in order
to form the nucleus of force trained
for aviation purposes. Aside from the
humanitarian possibilities of this prop
osition, it is pointed out that aviation
facilities provided for the coast guard
will be valuable addition to naval
aviation equipment in time of war.

MANY NEW LAWS ASKED
BAN ON PRIZE FIGHTS AMONG
PROPOSED MEASURES.
Rill-Draftlns Department Established
BY Attorney General-eIect Receives
Suggestions for Legislation.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-Requests for bills for q
new school code for Colorado re
signed to divorce school affairs from
politics; for a teachers tenure of of
flee law, which in effect would place
school teachers under civil service;
FOR improvements in the present alb
sent voters law, and for a ban on
prize fighting in the state have been
submitted to the bill-drafting depart
ment established by Attorney Gen
eral-elect Leslie E. Hubbard.
The demands for law against prize
fighting, it is understood, probably
will result in a bill creating state
boxing commission which would issue
licenses and have sole supervision
over the holding of boxing matches in
Denver and all other cities in the
state.
The tenure of office bill is support,
ed by the Elementary Teachers Asso-
citation of Colorado. 1t proposes to
give tenure of office to all teachers
who have been engaged in public
school work for three years, with spe-
cific provision that after serving three
years they cannot be removed except
for cause. The object of this feature
of the bill is to safeguard the teacher
against removal for political reasons.
The same bill would extend teach
10 oil oh
In the public schools of Colorado. Aft
er serving thirty-five years and reach
ing the age of 60 they would be re-
tired on pension of $50 per month
for life. In this connection consider
alton is being given to the proposal Of
either providing for a compulsory saw
ing fund to build up a teachers PEN
sion fund or to make this matter to
be provided for by the state.
The bill drafting department is CIV
ing attention to the drafting of a min
lmum wage law for women.
Request has also been made for a
law establishing a state sanatorium
for tuberculosis patients to conduct
research work and to provide for the
housing of tubercular patients from
other states for limited period. AS
such patients would include residents
of other states the plan contemplates
a request for federal appropriation
of 100000 acres of public land to be
sold for the purposes of establishing
an endowment fund.
The department is also drafting a
memorial to Congress asking for the
establishment of brigade army post
at Fort Logan.

U. S. AIDING ALIENS
Naturalization Bureau Is Made
Great Humanizing Force.
AccompIishes the Unusual, Incidental
ly, by Producing Revenue for
Uncle Sam Above Its
Expenses.

How one of Uncle Sans routine gov
ernmental agencies has been trans
formed into great humanizing force
and at the same time has been placed
upon a self-supporting baSis-some-
thing unusual in governmental affairs
is told in the annual report of Com
missioner Richard X. Campbell of the
bureau of naturalization to the secre-
tary of labor.
This has been accomplished by link
ing together those state Americanizing
agencies, the public schools of the en-
tire country, with the department of
labor, through its naturalization bu-
reau in the definite and concerted ac-
tion of helping our foreign friends
qualify upon higher standard Of ad-
mission to American citizenship.
In 1908 when a portion of this bu-
reau's activities were conducted by an
other department, the cost ran more
than $65000 above the naturalization
fees collected, but since all of the af-
fairs looking to making citizens have
been turned over to this bureau of the
department of labor there has been an
in excess of all cost of maintenance.
This bureau is not supported from the
general taxes collected by the govern
ment. Indeed, the citizens of the Unit
ed States do not bear one cent of the
expense of this governmental agency.
1t is all paid by the foreigner who is
admitted to citizenship. In other
words, from the So paid by each for
eigner for a good administration of the
naturalization law, all of the expenses
of his Americanization are paid and
over $65,000, on an average, has been
turned into Uncle Sans pocketbook
every year.
Last year every superintendent of
schools in every city and town of
$500 population and over was ap-
pealed to by the naturalization bu-
reau to join this nationwide Amer
icanization movement. Favorable re-
sponses came from every state in the
union expressive of n desire to CO.
operate. Six hundred and thirteen
cities and towns opened the doors of
the public schools to the foreign-born
friend in order that the names of all
the candidates for citizenship and their
wives might be sent to them by the
bureau of naturalization.
The helping hand was extended for
the first time and is still held out with
beckoning wave to the millions who
are seeking citizenship who came to
this country with dreams of better
ment of their condition.
During the past year there was filed
2O7 ,935 declarations of intention, 1OS,-
900 petitions for naturalization, and
93,911 certificates were issued by the
courts. Add to these figures approx
mately 10000, representing the wives
Of the candidates for citizenship, and
the result is an imposing army of a
half-million or more marching through
the bureau of naturalization toward
the goal of its ambition.

China's Square-Holed
Coins Melted for Metal

China is losing it's "cash," the
characteristic coins with square
holes in the center that have
been the basis of all trade in the
interior of China for many gen
Crations, Uncle Sans consul gen
eral at Hongkong reports. The
rise in the price of copper has
rendered these brass coins,
which usually contain about 80
per cent copper, more valuable
as metal than as medium of
exchange. AS result the coins
are being exported to Japan
where they are melted and the
refined copper shipped to the
United States.
The fact that single Japa-
nese firm is in the market for 81
100000 piculs 100000 short
tons) indicates something of the
enormous requirements of vast
population like that of China
are in proportion, and the melt
ing up of such coins disturbs the
balance of supply and demand.

Commission Decides Two Cases.

A claim for compensation filed by
Mrs. Ellen M. Dalton of Denver, whose
husband died a short time ago, has
been denied by the State Industrial
Commission. Dalton, who was en-
ployed by a chemical company, died
from pneumonia. Investigation by
physicians showed that his illness had
not resulted from any accident In the
course of employment, so the commits
sion ruled the widow was not entitled
to compensation. Guy Johnson, who
filed application with the commission
for compensation for total disability
because he injured his foot while in
the employ of an electrical company,
was given partial compensation of So
a week for six week.
