ReservoIr Dams In TunIs.

Already the French are looking for
ward to the rapid development Of the
province Of Tunis in Africa. Accord
ing to civil engineer who has been
investigating the matter there are
about IS localities in that country
where dams could be constructed, with
reservoir capacities ranging from s.
100000 to 400 O,OOO, 900 cubic meters, and
water power ranging from 80 to 6.OOO
horse power Of continuous energy. The
engineering difficulties are stated to
be small in comparison with those Of
dams already built in Europe and the
United States, and the utilization Of
the water for irrigation, electrical
power, and in one case canal naviga
tion is estimated to furnish a good
margin Of profit. The numerous ruins
Of Roman dams found in Tunis show
by what methods the country became.
"the granary Of Rome" under the en-
pire and the ruins of large cities, with
coliseums, bath and temples Of great
size standing in what are now barred
plains, are evidence Of the success Of
the organized methods Of irrigation of
those ancient times.

A CALL FOR COLORADO WORKERS
FOR THE RED Cross.

A very excellent representation of
some Of the best colored families of
Denver attended the classes in the
Gauze Rooms of the Museum building,
corner OF Fourteenth and Sherman.
Members of different churches are en-
listed. The volunteer spirit is fine.
The work is of the best, but the mem
bers are not what we would like to
see At first the colored class num-
bered about eighteen faithful workers
Notwithstanding many demands and
Interruptions. But from now on the
needs for wounded American boys will
be much greater "over there" and let
every loyal colored American woman
come for one afternoon Friday of the
week, or send some friend or substi-
tute to take her place. The class as
sembles at o'clock on Fridays at the
Museum unit for instruction and work.
The uniform of white apron and cap
can be procured there at present AS
We know and regret to say, some of the
colored population of America have
been tempted and tampered with by
Prussian propaganda; but let Denver
be freed from such criticism through
a loyal and regular interest by the
women, as we'll as the men, to promote
the activities and plans of the country,
among which there is none more ap-
pealing than the work at the Red Cross
gauze rooms.
Among those who still come and who
do excellent work are the following:
Mrs. Cora E. Robinson, 1921 Gilpin;
Mrs. Goldie Hughes, 522 Both street;
Mrs. Nellie Irby, AIS 29th street; Mrs
Nellie Lander, 1s45 Marion street;
Mrs. E. c. Shipp. 315 Vine street:
Mrs. Gullion, formerly OF Memphis.
Tenn, and Mrs. Pollard of Denver
We could mention other names OF
the class who seem not to have been
able to attend of late, but would rath-
er wait till their vacant chairs are
filled and the familiar faces bright and
smiling, as the busy fingers fold to
help make the interminable dressings
for the dear soldiers going to the
western front.
Notice is given that the gauze rooms
are closed from the 1st of May for
about ten days, but the newspapers
will announce the exact day when
they open up again. Watch for the
announcement and don't forget the
colored classes special day is Friday,
in the afternoon.
Do your spring cleaning, ETC., in the
next ten days, then one and all deter
mine to give at least this one after
noon to show your genuine patriotism
at the Red Cross rooms; for acts, not
words, prove what we stand for.
The Denver Star is backing the Red
Cross movement. Let everybody Join
in and help. ~"

Earth Tremors Due to Thunder.
A peculiar effect Of thunder was re-
Gently reported to the weather bureau
by Douglas F. Manning of Alexandra
Bay. N. Y. During the storm, which
prevailed in the evening. each rumble
of thunder caused windows and doors
to rattle, chinaware to jar, and tre-
mors In the earth Stimulating the
shocks of an earthquake. Many per
sons thought that an earthquake was
in progress. The weather bureau
states that since musical" notes of
very low pitch and great volume are
sometimes produced by series of Sc

charges, the shaking described was
probably due largely to the resonant
response Of rooms to thunder notes Of
