Overtures of peace made by the kai-

the war, since he seems determined
to stand pat on his present methods
of submarine warfare, while the presi-

DENVER NEWSPAPER MAN BE-
COMES LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

| Denver, Feb. 10.-AnnOuncement is
made of the appointment of Prof. F.
A. Waugh, former local newspaper
man and at present head of the de-
partment of horticulture and land
scape gardening of the Massachusetts
Agricultural college, to the position of
consulting landscape engineer for the
| U. S. Forest service.
Professor Waugh was engaged in
newspaper work in Denver and other
western cities in the early COS. and
later took up the study of horticul-
ture and landscape engineering in
New England, where he has since been
associated with the development of
important municipal horticultural pro-
jects. He is also the author of sew
eral of the best books on landscape
gardening published in recent years.
According to the forest officials, the
appointment of Professor Waugh
marks a new erea in the develop
ment of the national forests, COM
prising as they do an area of 1885,
100000 acres. In these forests are
found the finest pieces of natural
landscape in the country, ana it is
with view to making this scenery
accessible to the public that the forest
service contemplates developing the
forests along practical landscape lines
Over a million and a half people use
the national forests as Fairgrounds
each year, and the number is con-
stantly increasing. The allotment of
camp sites in the forest has greatly
complicated the problems of water
supply and sewerage disposal for the
thousands who use the forests for
camping purposes. The need for well
planned arrangements for camping
places, and the many landscape prob
lens arising through the use of the
forests for recreation purposes has led
to the selection of an expert land
scape architect to direct the work.
Professor Waugh has secured six
months leave of absence from the
and will accompany Chief Forester
Graves on an extended tour of the
national forests of the west, beginning
in April. He will then outline the
general policies of the landscape treat
ment of the forest areas and devise
plans for organization for carrying
out these ideas. 1t is expected that in
short time this phase OF forest
service work will require the estab-
lishment of permanent landscape
department. which will have charge OF
laying out the roads, trails and camp
sites throughout the national forest
areas.

Rockwelrs Weekly Letter.

This has been a mighty interest
ing week, with many important bills
discussed and passed. Some of these
do not affect our section particularly
but many do. First, we are all in
terested in the liquor question. The
discussion of this question took the
greater part of three days. 1t seems
that of the many bills on this sub
ject presented the temperance com
mittee only reported on one bill. that
of Representative Horton. of Olathe.
This bill was presented by the w. G.
T. U. and was unanimously endorsed
by that great party. There was, how
ever. bunch in the House who sought
to amend the bill and put in bone
dry law on our statutes. The objec-
tions to this amendment were, first,
its constitutionality. There was a DIFF
ference of opinion on this but the ma
jority of the lawyers agreed and the
Attorney Generals office believed
that bone dry law would be held un-
constitutional. II this Is the case
such law passed by the Assembly
and later declared unconstitutional
would have put us back to where we
are now. Second, we must not take
too great strides at once on this great
question. The people of our state have
approved almost unanimously of the
abolishing of the saloons, and the re.
strictions OF the liquor traffic. They
believe that the bootleggers should be
done away with and that the traffic
in liquor should be still more restrict
ed. but 1t is a question whether tho

BERLIN CHILDREN GO

ally on the official excuses for the order
that children shah go to school bare

In Berlin and It's suburb school

to go barefo0ted 90 school. Things are
different now. The scarcity OF leather
and its dearness compel as 10 accustom

SETTMG.UP EXERCISES DEVELOP !

Perhaps the muscles in front of the
thigh are of more importance in
walking than are those of the calf.
Except in the heel-and-toe style Of
walking the thighs have far more to
do than the calves.
This is the simplest known way to
develop the frontal muscles of the
thigh:
SStand with the feet six inches apart
with the toes out. Have your shoul-
ders thrown well back and your chin
in the air Then by bending your
knees drop vertically as fast as you
can. In the army this is known as
the "full-bend" setting up exercise.
At first you probably will not be
able to do this more than half dozen
times. But with steady practice you
can do it at first fifty and then a hun
dred times.
All the time your leg will be get

which will bear a lot of study.
Few minor league clubs make much
