MARKET
TURNS FIRM
Unsettled Weather Pros
poets and Snow Give
Firmness.

Chicago, March Prospects of
unsettled weather with snow gave
firmness today to the corn market.
The market was also bullishly fnflu-
enced by the fact that 1es.ite large
receipts tho stocks at terminals dis
played no sign of notable accumula-
tons. A renewal of industrial de-
mand for low grade corn tended fur
Their to strengthen prices. After
opening unchanged with May LII l-S
futures scored a slight general adj
vance.
Oats were firmer owing more to
lack Of offerings than to any great
demand. The smallness of receipts
attracted considerable notice. Open
ing prices, which ranged from a
shade to 1-8 to IA cent higher. with
May SO 1-8 to IS IA, were followed
by a moderate additional gain.
Provisions hardened as a result of
liberal shipments. Weakness in the
hog market was ignored.
Demand for lard was stimulated by
the fact that lard stocks in the west
are materially short of the total a
year ago.. Advances, though, were
not we'll maintained.
Receipts here were inadequate to
permit dryers to work "a hours a day.
and to- allow maximum shipments to

II Il fast and intensely interesting
game the Sigma Chi team defeated
the Delta Sigma boys, making their
first defeat his season. The game
was hard and we'll fought. Sigma
Chi started on the run n stayed
ahead of the Delta Sigs to the end.
The first half was marked by close
guarding on both sides. The game
ended with the score standing II to
. in favor of the Sigs.
The second game was closer all the
way through. The team work of
both the Bulge Hall and model high
teams vas ragged during the first
half. Towards the close of the first
half the high overcame the 4 point
lead held by Bulge, and finished
the half with the score 6 to 4 in their
favor. In the second half the Bulge
team came back strong, and tied the
high. The team work improved from
then on and at the end of the half
the score was a tie-1s to 13. In the
playing off of the tie. the Bulge team
held their team work better and Riley
made the basket that won the game.
The final score was II to 10.

NEW STAR Is THE BIGGEST DISCOVERY
COMING OUT OF SUNS TOTAL ECLIPSE
Astronomers Say Strange Body May Be Larger
Than Our Sun, and Is Seen ANY Part of the
Universe; Has Created Sensation Among
the Sky Students.

While sun, moon and star experts
who came to Denver to make observa-
tons of the eclipse last Saturday were
sorely disappointed by reason of cloud
skies, this is largely compensated in
the scientific world by discovery of a
new star, said to be of vastly greater
cosmical Importance. This is the new
star which has suddenly burst forth
in the constellation of Aquila, about
five degrees west of the well known
first magnitude star, Altar.
On Sunday night, June 8, this was
by far the biggest star visible in the
heavens, and it surpassed the bril-
lance of any new star that has been
seen since 1872, when Tycho Brahe
discovered a similar object, which
was for some time visible even in
daylight. 1t is a very reasonable esti-
mate that this newest star may be a

million times bigger than our own

million times bigger than our own

Can Be Seen in Daytime.
So far as we know at present, says
Prof. Edwin b. Frost, hoted astrono-
mer of the Yerkes observatory, who
viewed the eclipse at Green River,
Wyo, the star was first seen by Prof.
E. E. Barnard of the Yerkes observ-
atory at our eclipse camp shortly be-
fore midnight on Saturday evening
some six hours after the total eclipse.
1t was then brighter than Affair. 1t
was observed by members of our party
thru the night, and its spectrum was
photographed several times during
the day of Sunday. Its brightness
increased at least five-fold and ex-
ceeded that of Vega Of Alpha Lyrae
by nearly two magnitudes.
The spectrum was photographed
hourly thru Sunday night by Prof.

will fall into hopeless decay. A re-
ceiving and examining and recruit
barracks should be erected with lava
tories and water closets, with dining
hall and kitchen, adjoining the bar
racks, and the entire plumbing and
sewer system should be overhauled.
Ideal Place for Brigade.
9. We respectfully urge Fort Lo-
gan as an ideal place for brigade
depot. The present buildings can be
utilized, many of them without
change, some by alteration, and some
by enlargement. The military reser-
walton of Fort Logan consists of $50
acres and additional ground may be
had to the west and south. Denver
has many trunk lines of railroad, from
which troops can be speedily trans
ported to all points north, south, east
or west.
10. The climate is not severe in
winter, nor excessively warm in sum-
mer. The mayor of Denver states
that street sprinklers were in opera
ton 315 days in the year 1917. There
is no doubt that troops could drill
out of doors without discomfort more
than 1926 days in any year. This state
ment is borne out by the weather re-
ports of Charles A. Brandenburg.
Less Sickness Here.
IL. We are informed that at the
various environments you are con-
fronted with a certain percentage of
troops on sick call at all times. These
troops are named "non-effectives."
The surgeon general can give re-
port of the non-effective rate in each
cantonment in the United States. 1t
Will be found that less sickness exists
('nInradn al.
in the United States.
II. The soldier must be kept
warm In winter. In addition to the
fact that our climate is mild, Colo
RADIO has an abundance of coal in close
proximity to Fort Logan, which can
be obtained at moderate prices. Men
training in Colorado can throw their
full brain power into assimilating
those things necessary to make them
efficient soldiers. The weather is
never too hot to train and is not too
cold to train to exceed a week or ten
days in any winter If the maximum
and minimum Temperatures of the six
teen training camps in the United
States are secured, and compared with
the temperatures in Denver for the
same period, it will be found that
Colorado has the advantage of any of
borne in mind that our climate is dry
and training would not be interfered
with by rainy, damp or muddy wealth
er. Our soil is sandy and never be-
comes muddy. The terrain adjacent
to Denver offers variety for train
ing. We have level land for infantry
drill and hilly land for target range.
Upon investigation we are reliably in
formed that three months of training
in Colorado will advance a man as
much as four months at any of the
existing camps.
Save ss,OOO,00O Per Year.
10. Assuming that there will be
as many soldiers transported back
and forth west of Denver in the fu-
ture as have been transported in the
past, an expenditure of 100000 at
Fort Logan would save. the govern
ment $4,000, 900 which could be applied
to other war purposes.
Trusting this matter will receive
your favorable consideration, we are,
Very respectfully yours,

Dor ASSEMBLY.

Parkhurst, but continued to be SINH
lar to that of Vega, or of what is
known by astronomers as the first
type.
A change in spectrum is expected
to occur very soon. 1t is probable
that the star was faint or invisible
to the naked eye on June 6, and per-
haps also the latter half of the night
of June z. The brightness thereafter
must have increased a hundredfold
within a few hours and perhaps a
thousandfold.
The enormous cosmical cataclysm
which so suddenly brought the gigan-
tic sun into the rank Of the biggest
star of the summer sky doubtless oc-
CURED 500 years ago, and perhaps
longer.
The star may be seen by any one
in any part of the world in any clear
space where the electric lights are
not too bright, from about 10 o'clock
in the evening until dawn. 1t is less
than a degree north of the celestial
equator and in eighteen hours and
forty-five minutes of right. ascension.
May Fade Slowly Away.
The future career of this star can
not be accurately predicted, but it will
probably fade slowly, with irregular
fluctuations, perhaps remaining visi-
BILE to the eyes for some weeks or
months.
The appearance of this star is a
cosmical event of the highest inter
est. The instruments best suited for
its observation will be kept in opera
ton at the eclipse camp for a few
days longer until the star has passed
thru its critical stage Of activity.
Dean Howe's Opinion.
Dean Herbert A. Howe Of Denver
University and the Chamberlin OBJ
scrvatory said: "On the night fol-
lowing the eclipse the new star was
observed from several points-from
the United States naval observatory
at Baker, Ore; from Green River,
Wyo.; from Virginia, from Fraser,
Colo, and from Denver. It has not
yet been determined who was the first
to see it.

1878 THRIFT STAMPS
TO remain UNCHANGED
No Matter When Purchased, They
Can Be Exchanged Under
Plan Now in Vogue.

Because Of the numerous inquiries
received by the District war savings
committee regarding the 1913 issue of
war savings stamps. members OF the
committee are Of opinion that this in
dicates there is a current misunder-
standing as to the value Of thrift stamps
at the end Of this year.
To make this point clear, the COM
mittee explains that there will be no
change either in the form or the ap-
pearance of the ascent thrift stamp.
and that, whether bought this year or
next, they can be exchanged, under
the same plan as now prevails, for the
