part of the supervised evening study
hours. During this period the windows
are thrown open and all occupants OF
the study room, including the teachers,
are required to go through a series Of
setting-up exercises. This breaks the
monotony, refreshes the system and
proves invaluable as a means Of relaxa-

HAS CONTRACT TO
CARRY NAIL IN AIRPLANE

Earl L. Byers, nephew of II. W. BY
ers, corporation counsel for Des-
Moines, Ia, has one of the most nm
usual contracts ever let by the United
states government
He has agreed to carry mail bv air
plane over route in Alaska at a COM
pensation of s49.50O annually.
Byers will make two trips each week
between Nome and a camp 3S1 miles
inland. He will carry mail and pas
sengers, and his service will bring the
mining camp three weeks nearer the
outside world.
The country over which he will fly
is mountainous. There are no level
tracts on which to make a landing in
case his engine should stop. In winter
the snowfall is between 20 and 80 feet
deep. Even should Byers' airplane
make safe landing in the snow be-
tween terminals it would be impossi-
BILE for the operator to get away again.
All Of these possible troubles were
considered by Byers before he took the
contract. On trial trip he carried
four passengers. the weight being L.
600 pounds. He is using a Curtiss
tractor, with various ideas in aerial
navigation worked out by himself to
meet conditions in Alaska.

STREET DEPT. BUSY CLEAR.
ING AWAY THE SLUSH

Tuesday was real spring day with
the snow going rapidly in all sections
of the city. Street Commissioner Estey
had a crew of men at work clearing
out the cutters and getting the catch
basins open. He has invented a new
plan for opening up the cutters which
is working like a charm. 1t is an ex-
tension plow. the horses hauling it 60
ing along the sidewalk and the pillow
being in the gutter. In this way the
work of several men is saved and the
work is done much faster All over the
city the cutters were full of water. the
sidewalks were soft and the walking
was very hard. In the downtown dis
trict the hauling was very bad and
many of the heavy teams had to be put
on wheels to get along at all and found
it very hard to get about on wheels.
The snow did not get slumpy in the
roads but settled down so that it was
almost as hard as ice. The people COM
ing in from outside reported that the
conditions were the same there and that
the travelling was very good. With
prospects of colder weather it is ex-
pected that the shedding viii hold out
for long time yet

Are You a Bore?

DO you wish to find out whether or
not you are a bore to your friends
If so. here are enc or two tests that
will soon show you If you are inclined
to be such a dreadful creature as the
one we call bore
Do you invariably rattle on in con-
versation on your own affairs and
your own opinions. without allowing
your unfortunate listener a moment to
express his views? If SO. we'll. you
are certainly en- the high road to be-
coming first-class bore!
Do you spend so many words and so
much time in getting to the point Of
anything you mean to say that the
nearer loses both patience and inter-
est? Again. you are boring him or her.
II YOU are naturally slow and long
winded. make up your mind to prac-
tice saying things brightly and briefly
until it becomes habit. Stop yourself
when you find yourself beginning a
long story on nothing in particular.
Better be good listener than weari-
some talker.
Be simple. natural and to the point,
and you will never be called a bore

WOOD FAMINE THREATEN.
ED AND COAL is SCARCE

That there is real prospect of a wood
famine in the city was made known
Tuesday when an investigation revealed
that but one concern of the four which
usually handle wood in the city mad
any on hand and this concern reported
only a small supply. The farmers are
not hauling in stick these days and
the railroad does not seem willing to
place cars so that some of the dealers
here who claim that they have plenty
in various places are able to get lie here.
The price is very high but this does
not seem to attract the farmers who
usually are to be found about the city
in good numbers with their big loads of
wood. The coal situation is but little
better and none of the firms have large
supply on hand
