Censorship of Campaigns

A complete plan for the censorship
Of all campaigns and movements for
solicitation of funds from the public
in connection with war activities has
been worked out by the war relief
committee of the Colorado Council of
Defense and has been adopted by the
council The purpose of the censor
ship will be to prevent fraudulent So
licitations for money and unnecessary
or unwise solicitations.
Hereafter the public should give no
support to statewide war solicitations
for money that have not the approval
Of the Colorado Council of Defense.
And the public should not support.
hereafter local or county financial
campaigns thathave not the approval
of the various county councils of de-
fensc in their proper jurisdictions.
In Denver the Denver Civic and
Commercial Association will act joint
ly with the State Council Of Defense.
A special committee Of the council
will pass upon the merits Of all pro-
posed statewide solicitations and will
approve or disapprove them, solely up
on their merits, after careful investi-
CATION. The membership of this COM
mittoc will be kept secret, even from
ether members of the council, TO pro-
tect the members from unnecessary
annoyance and pressure.

EXEMPTION BOARD BUSY


The Prowers county exemption board
board is having another busy week of
it. Physical examination of the Glass
/ men began on Monday and will be
continued until all are passed on. All
of this class who pass the physical
examination will be registered in the
preferred class, and will be taken in
future draft calls in the order of
their original ranking under the draft
drawing.
The list for the county is large
enough so that probably these will be
all that are ever called unless the war
lasts a good deal longer than most pco
Pile think it will. Glass /, when all
are passed on physically, will be pub
lished in the order in which they will
be called, and then all can know just
where they stand, and which call is
likely to include them.

RED CROSS ORGANIZATION
Women Largely Predominate in Exc
cutive Positions and Volunteers
Outnumber Paid Officials

Washington, ID. c., January 30
According to a canvass of the fourteen
division offices of he American Red
Cross, $50 out of 255 executives, or 50
per cent, are women. These figures
apply only to those holding important
executive positions in division Offices,
and do not include chapter officials.
The canvass further shows that Sc
per cent of all executives arc full
time volunteers. serving without re-
muneration.
The division form of organization
has been in effect only since the up
pointmcnt of the Rcd Gross council,
and was found necessary because OF
the tremendous growth of the activi-
ties and operations of the Red Cross
brought about by the war. The work
of millions Of Rcd Cross members is
now directed by the division officers,
which are the Intermediates between
National headquarters and the several
thousand Fed Cross chapters scatter
ed throughout the United States and
Il
tablishment of geographical divisions,
the operation of the Rcd Cross was
centralized at National headquarters.
end the only women in the head
quarters organization were three in
the nursing bureau, and one who was
a member of the Central committee.
since the appointment Of the War
Council this number has been increas-
ed to twelve, and Miss Elizabeth II.
Hoyt has been appointed assistant to
the general manager. There is also
Woman's Advisory Committee Of
eleven members, and a Woman's Ad
visory Committee and Naval Auxil
iary to the War Council, consisting Of
fifteen members. Recently there have
been established about twenty-five in
stitutes Of Home Service, which are
training schools for Red Cross Home
Service workers, who will assist fam
lilies of soldiers and sailors. In each
OF these Institutes are two executive
positions, and the number of incum
bents is practically evenly divided be
tween men and women. These have
not been included in the above figures.
"In the selection of officials to con-
duct the various activities" said
Harvey d. Gibson, general manager,
"the policy has been to obtain the
most effective available persons with
the best qualifications for that par
ticular work. These appointments
have been made regardless of politics,
sex or religion"

WASHINGTON NOTES


Washington, Feb. Especial cor
respondence) )-The President meets
ell criticism of the war department By
saying that we should look at tn.
great things that have actually beer
accomplished instead of magnfyins
the incompetence that is manifest III
what he is pleased to term unimport-
ant matters. One of the feats of the
department that is held before tho
eyes of the people to illustrate the
almost superhuman difficulties that
have been overcome is the building OF
the army cantonments last summer
and their completion in time to re-
ceiye the first increment of the Ma
tional army. The country is rcgaled
with imposing statistics giving the
number of million feet cf lumber used
in their construction, the number OF
buildings, the number erected each
day or hour, etc. The stories are cal
culatcd to grouse tremendous enthus-
iasm among our citizens as showing
the zeal and energy displayed by the
directors of the war at Washington
in getting our forces into shape.

Don't Like To Take His Own Medicine

1t was President Wilson at the b--
ginning of his administration who
changed government by action rs it
had existed in this country to govern
ment by investigation. Now hc is
muchy opposed to Congress inveati-
eating his administration. Pieiloss
publicity was his announced cure for
all evils of government, but when even
a moderate amount is turned on the
conduct Of the war, he calls the mem
bers Of his own party, who are de-
manding it, traitors, German SYM

HIGH SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS
Election Will Be Held on March on
the Proposition of Voting Bond
Issue of 100000 for Improve
ments

.4lst Saturday evening the memb rs
of the school board held a session with
Architect Gee. w. Roe of Pueblo I'd
examined and approved tic plans
which he has bccn for some time p-l-
pairing for additions to the Lamar high
school. The pins call for .he extcns-
ioI of The building south according to
the original plans Of construction
drawn for the high school. This wing
will have large assembly room for
the entire school and = number of new
class rooms. An additional wing to
the west was also included, which IL to
contain an up-to-date manual training
and domestic science departments, and
also gymnasium and swimming pool
for the students. Mr.. Roe estimates
that these improvements with com
plete equipment for thorough work in
all lines will cost about $4,000. The
board therefore to be SAFE las decided
20 issue a call for an election on
March Sth to vote on the proposition
of issuing 1000 in bonds or US many
rs will be necessary to compl".f a.d
equip the building.
The need of enlarged quart &c and
new equipment is great If the L@mar
school is to be kept up to the advanc-
cd standing it has always mai:.tain-
ed, and the financial standing of the
district is so good that 5l2 per c'nt
bonds can be sold at a premium in
spite of the continued sales # bo.;ds
by the government. The district has
IN assessed valuation of thrce million
dollars and outstanding bonds of only
s3I, 900, of whicl. $1,000 will be paid
off this year leaving an indebtedness
of $4,000. All warrants are cash and
available funds sufficient to meet all
obligations of the schools for the year
to come. Even with the lew propos-
ed issue of bonds there would be only
sss, 900 bonded Indebtedness against
the district, which is oLe of the
smallest in the stSae for districts the
size of the Lamar district. The board
believe that this splendid condition and
the great need for the additional room
and equipment will induce the tax
PAYERS to vote for the bond issue.
Neither the manual training or do
mestic science departments of the
school can do the full work for which
they were organized unless they have
larger quarters, and these two depart
ments alone are sufficient reason for
enlarging the building. The need OF
an assembly room and additional class
rooms is also very pressing. The gym
nasium and swimming pool are things
which large portion Of the patrons OF
the school have long advocated and on
the whole our city is very fortunate
to be in condition TO get this added
school equipment at this time. The
standing of the Lamar high school has
added much to the attractions Of La
mar as a home city. and many fimilies
are here just for the school facilities
1t is therefore not only advisable to
keep abreast with the times, but in
the lead all the time. The proposed
improvements will insure this stand-
irg for many years to come.

GETS GOOD NEWS
BROTHER, LONG BELIEVED TO BE
DEAD, WRITES FROM GER
MAN PRISON CAMP

To receive a letter from brother
long believed to have been killed on
the battle front in France, was the
Joyous experience of the Rev. w. H.
Bridge, rector of ST. Marks Episcopal
church, here today. A letter came
from a German prison camp at Saars-
brucken, Germany, stating the brother
is we'll and in good health and is per-
mitted to receive goods from home
through the Red Cross.
In 1916 Lieutenant H. E. Bridge,
who was with a Canadian regiment,
and had only been married two
months, disappeared in one Of the
fierce battles on the western front
and was believed to have been killed.
His name and picture appeared in
the official list of those killed in the
fight and his bride, his parents and his
brother mourned him as dead.
1t now develops that the young lieu
tenant was captured and has been a
prisoner for more than one and half
years and that he is in good health.

Bathing Is a Luxury, Not a
Necessity, According to
Arctic Explorers Theory

1t is not essential to one health that
one battle frequently, according to the
hypothesis expOunded by Vilhjalmur
Stefansson, the arctic explorer, in
philosophical discussion of scurvy in
the Medical Review of Reviews. Mr..
Stefansson asserts bathing is purely
an esthetic principle and that the
value of cleanliness to health has not
been established by the medical prac-
titioners.
Mr.. Stefansson's prOnouncement
will be greeted with jubilatiOn by the
elements which possess an ingrown
dislike for hydrogen and oxygen in
proportions of two to one. 1t has been
accepted as dogmatic by the Mexican
pelados for years, who as religious
function, battle only on st. Johns
day, which is celebrated early in May.
Much of what the ordinary practi-
toner tells you about bathing for
health is either not yet demonstrated
as true or else is demOnstrably I'M
true" declares Mr.. StefanssOn. 1.-THE
fact is that, according to the point OF
view, cleanliness is a matter of esthet
ics or else of taboo observance rather
than of health"
The explorer makes an apology II
the article for his attack on medical
orthodoxy by declaring he has beer
divorced from medical books and jour
nails for more than ten years. Mr.
Stefansson wrote the treatise while
in the arctic region in 1916. He wa:
reported as dangerously ill from ty
phoid fever on Herschel island.
