she left for Camp Funston, going from
there to Camp Sill, and then making
tour of the cantonments thruout the
Southern states. Miss Wilson is the
noble daughter of noble sire.
APP REL Mt STRANGERS TO
each other, two women boarded a
Broadway car at Eleventh avenue
shortly after noon one day this week.
The elder woman secured the one va
cant seat on the car and opened
special edition newspaper. The front
page headlines caused a smile to
spread over her Teutonic face. The
younger woman secured no seat and
stood hanging to a strap in front of
the other. The woman who was read
ing the war news which told how some
of the American troops had been
driven back by the Huns in the great
drive, looked up into the face of the
younger woman. Good! Great" the
Teuton woman muttered so the young
American woman could hear. Baml
Bang! came the palm of the younger
woman's hand against the cheek of
the older woman, and biff! she swung
her left to the other cheek. Several
men on the car had heard the older
woman's exultation and there was no
interference. In fact, the younger
woman was encouraged to go to it
again. But the woman who was re-
joicing over the plight of the Allies
rose hurriedly and left the car at
Thirteenth avenue. No one tried to
stop her. This all happened in two
blocks, and the younger woman took
the seat of the routed female Teuton
with a smile of triumph amid the
plaudits of other passengers.

CLINT C. HOUSTON, EDITOR OF
The Bulletin, leaves tonight for SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, where on Tuesday eve
ming, April 2, he opens a series of ad-
dresses in that and other cities of
Northern New York in behalf of the
local option campaign to vote saloons
out of business. The Bulletin editor
has been invited by the Citizens Dry
Committee of Syracuse, composed of
business men and representatives of
organized labor, to come all the way
to New York and tell of the great
benefit elimination of the saloon has
been to the wage earners and business
enterprises of Denver and other indus
is only one argument to be advanced
by a resident of Colorado, and that is
against the saloon evil. Two years of
statewide prohibition has worked
revolution for good in the home, in
the shop, in the office and in the posi-
blllties of living a natural life under
conditions unfettered by the crime in
viting open saloon and its accompany
ing evils which destroy the good in
men and women. 1t would be difficult
to find a labor official of repute in
Colorado today who would advocate
return to the days before prohibition
of Intoxicating drink was written into
the state constitution.

COLORADO'S STONE IS GOOD
enough for Colorado's public building.
That is the idea of Jimmy holland, sec
retary of state, and he is adhering
to it each day of his administration.
In Greeley the trustees of the normal
school are planning new buildings and
additions to cost 100000. In Pueblo
the trustees are preparing to enlarge
the state insane asylum. Secretary
holland has written to each of these
boards advocating the use of Colorado
stone, and has received favorable re-
plies. The school for the deaf and
blind at Colorado Springs will soon
commence work on new buildings and
enlargements of old structures. Argu-
ing the same broad principle in behalf
of home industries, Jimmy wrote to
the trustees of that institution and re-
ceived this encouraging word: 'Yours
received. We were glad you sent it.,
since 1t shows you are on the job. But
the fact is that we would not have
anything but Colorado stone, because
we cannot get anything better. With
best wishes, | am very truly yours,
w. X. Argo superintendent"
