Data regarding the highways of

that there is available from all
sources for road improvements in the
state this year an average of $74.15
for. each of the 41,OOO miles of high
way in Colorado. Based upon an es-
timated population of 1,022,639 this
means a per capita revenue of $2.97.
1t is equal to tax levy of 4.29 mills
on the taxable wealth of the state.
The total amount available is some
what in excess of $3,OOO,0OO, and is
derived from the haf-mill levy, coun-

improvement funds, forest reserve
funds and the federal funds appor-
toned TO Colorado for the improve

DEL0IT RED
:. =. CROSS ( R||,0!|]|s ! NOTES |!
Meeting Of the Executive Committee
of Oeioit Red Cross Chapter is
Called for Thursday p. NJ.
ELECTION OF NEW OFFICERS
Society Anxious to Make Four consec-
utive "a" Shipments and Be
Placed on Honor Roll.

A meeting of the executive commit
tee OF the Deloit Red Cros will be
held in their rooms in the Rickman
house Thursday Afternoon at 2:SO,
for the purpose Of electing new Off
GERS. This is very necessary as the
ranks must be kept filled in order to
carry on the work efficiently. This is
|your Red Cross society and you should
take personal special interest there
in. So please make the meeting u
good one by your presence. No Or
ganiZation can be run without COM
petent officers.
Instructions from the knitting de-
partment say, Very much OF the
life and texture of yarn is destroyed
by winding it too tight on the balls,
and by drawing it too tight in the
hands while knitting. Some knitters
twist the stitch in transferring from
one needle to another,~ and this also
produces a hard, wiry sock. The
same result is produced by pressing
with an overheated iron. The dura-
bility of the sock is injured, and
not only that, but the flexible and
soft texture is destroyed by these
mistakes" Will knitters please bear
these points in mind, in competing
for the cash prizes offered this month
in the Perfect Sock Contest"
Each person who does laundry work,
repairing, sewing, etc, outside, gets
credit for service just the same as
though that service was performed
in the work room. Credits for
knitting have been determined,
eighteen hours are allowed for each
pain of socks, knitted since AprQ
eighth, nine hours for each pair Of
previously, and the actual time spent
are allowed for making sweater.
1t has been the intention to calculate
the time that would be required by
the average knitter and use that as
basis in all output of the chapter.
The decoration for seventy-twO hours
service consists of Red Cross sewed
on the front of the cap. One hun
dred twenty-eight hours service en-
titles one to a bar. The decorations
will be highly regarded not only by
those who have earned them, but by
those who are looking forward to
these mile posts of accomplishment.
They will add to the dignity of the
work, when one finds the faithful
ones generally wearing the insignia
of service.
Shipment of goods from the chap
ter are graded A, B, and G, like
child receives gradings on work in
school. t'.Just as good'' work will
not be accepted in Glass A. We are
desirous to make four consecutive A
shipments for that will place us on
the honor roll and permit us to ship
with the green tag directly across
the ocean. Every woman. who re-
tards the work by insisting that de-
tails are not necessary prevents the
accomplishment OF this desired end.

Pro-Gerran Suspect Under Arrest.
Sergt. Maj. Frank B. Davis was ar
rested last week at Camp Dodge. He
was formerly with the intelligence Of
flee OF the 4Oth division at Camp
Kearney, near San Diego, Cali. 1t
seems that he enlisted under an as
sumed name, the motive for the change
in name was investigated and intelli-
gence officers believe he has been en-
gagged in pro.German activities. He
was transferred to this camp where
his movements were closely watched.
Investigation is being had and he may
be able to show tnat his assumed name
was for other purposes. A. further
charge of attempted desertion has
been brought.
Prices Must BE Right.
The war department does not pro-
pose that soldiers shall be over
charged for any goods they may see
fit to purchase. In the line of service
there are some things they must buy
for themselves In order that there
shall be no excessively high prices
charged the department has commits
stoned J. NJ. Bowie to act as adjustor
of prices both at Camp Dodge and
Fort Des Moines. Any complaints as
to over charges will be reported to
him for investigation.

and no one doubts that soon they will
be wearing on their shoulders the
double bars of captain, which will
be replaced later by the gold leaf of
a major or the eagle of colonel. And
with them go another small group Of
men from whose shoulders the Off
GERS badges have been removed. Most
lOf them have been dishonorably dis
charged from the army for conduct
unbecoming an officer" one for inef-
ficiency.
AS l write at midnight in the still
ness OF our camp these two groups
of men have retired to their rooms
the one group to dream of joyful
dawn with glorious day; the other
to dread the new day as if it were
the crack of doom. It's the old, old
|story of the two ways wherein men
walk. AS I write I can hear the
tramp, tramp of one of the men of
the second group as the PAGES the floor
the room just overhead. For three
nights it has been so. 1t is like the
|agOny of lost soul, for over yonder
lin one of the far western states a wife
and children await his coming. He
was a physician with lucratice prac-
tice and the confidence and respect of
his community. A few months ago he
offered his services to the govern
ment and was commissioned captain
in the medical corps. Landing in
France, newell it's the old story of
drunkenness and prostitution. He was
court martialed and discharged and
ordered home.
Story of Dissraced Officer.
Yesterday he gave me glimpse Of
the innermost recesses Of his soul.
Discredited, disgraced. friendless in
foreign land, he unburdened himself
lat the first suggestion OF sympathy.
He spoke of his friends and neigh
bOrs at home, of his wife and chill
dren, and their belief in him. He told
of the praise he received when he en-
listed, how his friends commended
his patriotism, his sacrifice of busi-
ness and the comforts of home and
loved ones, and referred to a farewell
dinner given in his honor.
"And now" he suddenly exclaimed,
ito go home in civilians clothes, strip
ped of my uniform, discharged, dis
graced-dOn't you see l cannot go
home cannot face it"
Verify" I thought, "the wages Of
sin is death! His yelled threat of
suicide startled me. l suddenly had
a little better understanding as to
why the Y. NJ. c. A. has called so
many men to France
give this tragical story in the hope
that it may serve as warning to
those who are coming. Let it be
Known that military laws are being
enforced here, particular
v among the officers. A debauchee
cannot command enlisted men, or
