Denver, Colo, Sept. 2-Denver's
unique "open air hotel" has enter
tained more than 10000 visitors this
season and the city park camping
plot is becoming more popular each
year.
The plan to provide automobile
tourists with outdoor accommoda-

and the camping section of beautiful
City Park contains about lis lots.
each lot with plenty of room for
large tent. There is amples- parking
space for automobiles in addition.
The visitors provide their own tents
and food and the city furnishes every
other convenience required for camp
ing purposes.
Band concerts are given each night
in the park, the pavilion being only
a short distance from the autoists'
camps. and other entertainment is
available in the form of boating on
the park lakes.

The Great Task Of the
Council Of National Defense

Grosvsnor chrkson, Son + Fret" clarkson. in scribnera
The activities Of the council of national defense and its advisory
commission, in . very definite, almost dramatic, measure, mark the
entrance into American governmental affairs Of the nonpartsan bust
ness man, engineer and scientist. The present work Of both bodies is
based on the irresistible and hard won knowledge that modern war
is a enterprise to which military men alone have ceased to be called
that it enlists the specialists Of every industry and every science
from the fighting line clear back to the last line of defense. As How
ard Coffin, who, more than any other man, started the movement for
industrial preparedness in this country-has said: Twentieth CEN
tuy warfare demands that the blood of the soldier must be mingled
with from three to five parts Of the sweat of the man in the factories
mills, mines, and fields of the nation in arms
With a full realization then that battles are won not alone by
fighting men but by fighting coordinated industries, the council Of
nation defense and its advisory commission settled down to real bust
ness on March 1, 1917. Since Mat date the record has been one Of
steady, ground breaking accomplishments brought about by only the
hardest kind Of hard work. What has been done reaches nearly to an
epic. After the president delivered his war message before the con-
gress, the speed was redoubled. Today the statement is justified that
probably no similar governmental body has ever put behind it as
much solid result In the first 20 days of a great war.

BOY SWAPS HIS DADS SHIRT
Accepts Proposition of Wild West
Show Employee and Gets Inside
the "Big Top"

MOnta Jessup is the robust son of
Grin Jessup, president of the Grin Jes-
sup Land company of Upton, and he
is a true American lad, say the In
d~ianapoliS News. He knows when q
circus comes to town. and like all other
boys, he will find a way t osee the
show. That was why he did not miss
a Wild West exhibition that played
Upton recently. The lad had been
bordering owe how he was to get in
side the 'big top" and he was not
greatly encouraged until a big, black
man-one of the many sons of Ham
with the show-approached him.
"Say, sonny, how big's your dad?'
asked the stranger.
"He's q whopper,' promptly replied
the youngster, thinking perhaps the
colored man might have some notion
Of ordering him roughly from the
grounds.
IF you all I'll give me one of your
dads shirts I'll take you in all the
shows
The lad scurried away and soon de-
livered one of Mr.. Jessup's best shirts
to the colored man, who was as good
as his word. and took the lad through
every tented attraction on the grounds.
Later on the young American had it
forcibly impressed on him that he could
have gone to the show several times
for what the shirt cost.

A 2-cent stamp is more than a steel
engraving Of our first president; it is q
charter for the diffusion Of democracy.
Many complacent patriots do not APP
praise at it's fuu value the civilization
and national economy Of a 2-cent
stamp. Such impartiality in railways
would mean billions added to our ma
tional wealth. Instead Of that we have
cities dizzy with railway duplication
while other cities are strangled because
they are not treated impartially. Spo-

have been choked by discriminating
freight rates that favored Pacific coast

Houston. Leading citizens in the af-
flicted cities have conspired with the
railways to retard the economic welfare
Of their communities.
The most spectacular examples Of
strangulation are Pittsburgh and Cin-
cinnati, because their arrested Develop

cities are being distanced by Cleveland

city's industrial worth is the amount
added to the value of raw material by
the workmanship of the city's indus

REsUsCITATING THE HALF DROWNED.

In all probability within a short time
I will begin to receive inquiries about

apparently drowned. These questions
generally coms9in the shape of an in
quiry as to ~thefTelative value of pulmo-
tors, lung motors, and other similar de-
vices. 1t is well to answer the ques-
tions publicly and before they come
rather than privately and after they
come.
The commission appointed by the
American Medical association reported
that the devices are of little benefit and
probably in rise do more harm than
good. BY "in use" I mean this: In

minutes after the accident is very much
better than any kind OF resuscitatlon

far as to say that that type OF apparat-

The "cat squadron"

Great Britain was the first naval
power to build the battle cruiser. Close
on her heels came Germany, Russia
and Japan; but all others, including
the United States, have no battle
cruisers in their line Of battle. Tt was
in 1907 when the Indomitable, the first
one. was begun. One year later she
crossed the Atlantic at a speed Of
little more than 25 miles an hour. The
InHexible and Invincible followed, ind,
hen the European war came, Great
Britain had a squadron that proved
of immense worth to her. In the Jut-
land battle, however, three Of the Brit
ish battle cruisers were sunk, shells
penetrating their armor and explod-
ing their magazines or boilers. Tho
armor Of a superdreadnaught would
most probably have proved too strong
for the shells that destroyed these bat
