PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS TO
RAINBOW CIRCLE ROUTE SOUTH

Says a western slope exchanges: A
concerted effort is being made, by
commissioners of the two counties,
Dolores and San Miguel, to complete
the highway over Lizard Head divide.
The commissioners recently visited
the state highway commission at Dem
yer in the interests of good roads for
these two counties and special effort
was made to secure funds for this
road. They ask that it be compieted
from Ophir Loop to Dolores.
Favorable attention was given the
proposition by the highway commits
sion and it is believed large sum will
be appropriated to the two counties
for that road. The money will be
given on the usual proportion. that for
each dollar given by the state the
county will also appropriate \ like
sum.
Every effort is being made to over
come the obstacle now standing in the
way of circle route for automobil-
lists over the Spanish Trail to south
western Colorado and back by way Of
the Rainbow route. The road over
Lizard Head would connect the two
main highways and result in hun
dreds of automobile tourists being
brought thru Telluride every summer,
as that city would become the CEN
trail point for the new highway, as
well as all the tributary roads.
By such circle tour, the tourists
would be given route almost entire
ly thru the mountains and plenty of
rugged scenery Of the most superb
sort
At present the only way to make
such trip is by shipping the auto
mobile by train from point on the
railroad in the southern part Of the
state to point across the mountains
from whence 4 road will take the
traveller to the other highway.

FOUR TYPES OF MEN.
French Method Of Picking Soldiers For
Special Lines of Work.

French Method OF Picking Soldiers For
Special Lines of Work.
"A good Judge of human nature Is
born and not made" declared DR.. G
Stanley Hall, president of Clark uni
versity. Baseball scouts are not able
to tell how they pick men: neither can
any employer tell how he picks his
men,"
DR.. Hall described tue French system
Of dividing men into four general types
and selecting them for particular posi-.
lions in the army accordingly. He said
First. = The digestive type. 1t is
characteristic of the heavy jaw, broad
abdominal region. Such men require
more food, need 1t regularly, must be
well fed. Such men are best on the de-
rensive. They are hard to disIodge from
he trenches.
"Second.-The respiratory type. Nos
trlls and ears are large; large, long
chest; demand plenty of pure air; get
restive under confinement. Such me,
are selected for work Oh high noun.
.ains. They are good in the charge, In
making an attack. Such men exclusive.
ly are selected for the aviation corps.
"Third.-The muscular type. Head is
square, limbs long and strong, body
short. This type is good for the bayo.
net charge in the artillery service.
Fourth. nervous type. Large
head tapers down to sharp jaw. Such
men have power to draw upon their re-
serves. They can get their second wind.
The really great are men Of this type.
Along with this type Is closely associat-
ed a willingness to sacrifice self for the
good of others.

the desire to gain pleasure and avoid

Dr. Clarke, famous traveller of
about u century ago, tells Of the fol-

tried at the Greek island Of Cos. A
young man desperately in love with a

ry her. but his proposals We're rejected
In consequence of his disappointment
he bought some poiScn and destroyed
himself. The Turkish police instantly
arrested the father Of the young wo-
man as the cause, by implication, OF
the mans death, Under the fifth spe
cies of homicide he Decame, therefore
amenable for this act of suicide
When the case came before the mag
strate 1t was urged literally by the
accusers that If he (the accused had
