Where Science Fails

A woman of intellectual tastes found
it difficult to remember all the facts
she collected. She therefore secured
the services of a professor of one of
ne best memory systems. Scarcely
had the professor taken his departure
after a successful first lesson when a
loud double knock was heard on the
front door.
"Who was that, Nary" the lady
inquired of the servant.
"Oh, if you please, ma'am," said
Mary, cit was the memory man; he
forgot his umbrella" - Pittsburg

II am pleased to say that judging from the
reports have had, of them coming directly
from my son, who is actively engaged in this work
in the Southern camps there is complete co-opera-
ton. The athletic committee appointed by the
Camp Commandant and usually composed of the
Y. NJ. C. A. athletic secretary and the camp athletic
officer, arrange schedules for games, organize
baseball series, stage boxing bouts, wrestling
matches, etc. Every piece of ground large enough
is utilized by this committee for outdoor sports,
and they use the Y. NJ. c. A. Auditorium and huts
for indoor games.
1T is attempted to SO manage that every boy
will have opportunity to take a definite amount
of physical exercise. Boys take kindly to this,
they like to play, therefore the influence of the
athletic directors with the boys is great and their
tasks enormous, so great that it is absolutely
essary that the work be apportioned among these
various agencies.
I'm conclusion let me say, in this lifc-grapple
with the Hun, the army needs every available man,
and every man who can be made available, and
that every soldier be brought up to his highest
efficiency. Every man must be physically fit. The
task of physically upbuilding millions Of men i

ed The first one developed is play and It is pos
sible to keep it in the foreground. Give him an
opportunity to engage in sports, to take part in
football and baseball to play healthy, robust, Wig
games, and this instinct stays in the ascend
ency and he will stay at the camp on Saturday and
Sunday rather than go to places of vice. Further
more, he knows that he must be moral if he desires
to be at his best physically and therefore is unwl-
ing to lessen his chances of success by dissipation.
In the football season have very little trouble
this with tie candidates for positions on
the team. Every boy hopes to make good. When
it is explained to him that he cannot reach supreme
physical excellence if he is immoral, you won't
need to tell him that he mustn't. 1t won't be nee

so big that every agency engaged in this work
must put forth its best efforts and, without regard
to any special credit, submerging selfnterest and
personal glory, work in complete unison in the
wonderful task of making Uncle Sans soldiers,
the finest body of physical manhood that ever
faced despicable foe"
1 told you would make Walter Camp write
the story for me. Did l do it? Well, almost
there is just other thing that the reader should
know. The Y. NJ. c. A. is equally impressed with
the Importance of athletics and is giving the whole
hearted cooperation that Mr.. Camp suggests. Read
what DR.. Fisher, the General Athletic Director of
the War Work Council of the Y. NJ. c. A. says
about it
"A French General has said that the war will
be won by the side having the bet nerves. Morale
is great force in winning the war. Nothing can
contribute to these two factors than play and
recreation No country has ever equalled the pres-
ent record of the American Army and Navy in the
provision of athletic sports and wholesome
ton by civilian organizations in which all the
agencies thus contributing, including the Y. NJ. c.
A., the K. of c., the War Community Service and
others have co-operated most heartily and hsrmoni-
ously for the national welfare"

pecially qualified for this purpose must do it for
him and they doing it.
Several agencies have been established for
this particular purpose. An army athletic officer
is assigned to each regiment, the Committee of
Training Camp Activities has representative and
the Y. NJ. C. A. has athletic secretary in every
camp and individual athletic director in each Y
M. C. A. hut. The Knights of Columbus and the Y.
NJ H. A. also assist in this work The work is so
important that it is absolutely essential for these
bodies to act in perfect unison. There should be
no petty quarrels, no little misunderstanding but
they must work in complete cooperation and every
man must do his share.

essary. 1t doesn't do any good to preach purity to
a boy at this age, he is either not listening to you
he is wondering where the old guy got that fun
ny collar, but he will listen if it affects his chance
of making the team.
TT QUICKENS HIS TRAINING. 1t is
urgently important that our soldiers get to France
possible. They needed now. Ath-
letics will accomplish this. Their physical condi
ton is improved rapidly, their hardening for
the strenuous life ahead is less difficult, and their
learning of discipline is quicker result of this
athletic training. Recognized military authorities
say that the trained athlete will be prepared for
service several months earlier than the boy who
takes active interest in sports.
at DEVELOPS ALL THE MEN. Prop
erly directed athletics will develop all of the men
rather than making physical giants of the few. It
isn't like the selection of football team. We
hundred men, but to build them ALL up so that we
may get at least one-hundred seventy-fve able
bodied men out of the two-hundred 1t is not a
question of selecting only the best physically
for the war, but improving the power and
vitality of all to render larger number suit
able for service and to increase the military value
of each individual man. To do this it is necessary
that the proper scientific methods be utilized. A
large part of the exercise that the boy usually takes
is not of the proper kind. Much has a tendency to
build up great arm and leg muscles. The arms and
legs get enough exercise normally. When you rise
from chair, what IS the hrst thing that you do!
You grasp it with your hands and push yourself up.
Whys Because you know that your arms have the
best trained muscles of the body, and therefore
be called to assist your body muscles in getting
up. We do not need to increase the strength of the
organs ilready sufficiently developed. We need
good lungs, good hearts and proper coordination
of the muscles and the mind. The engine must be
properly oiled and kept in proper trim. Frequent
ly we some lad in the service with great broad
shoulders and huge muscles, apparently physical
giant, putting under task that more active, WHY

strength does not make man the best soldier. We
need the active man, the wel-baanced man, physic-

to increase his weight, to build up his endurance
and strengthen his heart. We want suppleness,
chest expansion, resistive force and these do not
come from great bullying knots of muscles nor from
the ability to do extraordinary feats of strength

Hershey Pushing Work
On the Sceptre Mine

The winter campaign of devel-
opment on the Sceptre mine on
Democrat mountain gives evil
dence of physical condition that
assures steady production with
the opening of spring.
A good sized streak has been en-
countered in the upraise, which
increases in thickness as work
progresses, and as the property is
located in a district that had a
wide celebrity in the early days
because of the richness of its ores,
no doubts are entertained as to its
great value.

Opera House will Give
Patrons a Fine Picture

"Within the Law" presents in
brief the power of the man with
money to WELD the law against the
weak and ignorant. 1t leans to-
ward ..the belief of many that the
so-called courts of justice have
given way to courts of favor, where
the cleverest man with the most
money wins.
This wonderful picture was
shown at Denver's leading picture
house only week before last, and
the management of the local Opera
House is deserving of credit for
having secured it SO soon after its
first run in the big city. A few
months later this picture could
have been secured at much lower
price, but Manager Schoellkopf
preferred to favor his patrons by
giving them an especially high
class attraction while it is new.

Must Buy Other
Cereals With Flour

The local merchants are endeav-
oring to observe the new restric-
tions regarding the sale of wheat
-four, but some question has arisen
as to whether in selling wheat
-four and other cereals, it should
be equal money value or equal
weight.
The federal food administrator
has informed the Siftings that
equal quantities by weight is the
correct Interpretation. The food
administrator says further: ave
realize that the supplies of sub
stitutes are limited at present, and
that prices of them may be higher
than on wheat -four. Where the
customer wishes, therefore, he
may have an equal quantity OF
substitute materials in value rather
than in weight, if he SO prefers" ;"
"We have also ruled that graham
-four and whole wheat flour may
for the present be used as part of
the substitute materials, but not
to exceed so percent of the latter.
That is, a customer may not buy
SO pounds of wheat -four and so
pounds of graham or whole wheat
flour together, but he may take as
much as 25 pounds of graham or
whole wheat if desired.'

Good Progress Being
Made on the Pay Rock

Manager Foster of the Psy
Rock mine, in a recent statement
to a Siftings representative, re-
ports good progress being made
since the starting of operations in
September, and is now prepared
to more than double the present
working force in the development
of the whole mine, when it is con-
fdently expected it will resume
its wonted place among the big
shippers of the Georgetown district.
The property consists of large
number of patented claims which
are among the oldest and best
known in the district, some of
them having been discovered as
early as 1867.
The principal development, how
ever, has been carried on in the
Hopewell and Payrock veins, whose
past record shows a production of
nearly one million dollars.
The ore when divided into
classes, one for smelling and the
other concentration, runs from
twenty to fifty ounces for the
latter, and from l5O to 800 ounces
for the former, altho grade could
be selected running much higher.

Are the Ore Buyers
Public Utilities?

Fred L. COLON, the we'll known
Idaho Springs attorney, was in
Georgetown Monday to argue a
demurrer in the County court in
the case Of Edwards VS.. the Cham
berlain Ore Sampling Co.
1t seems that some time in Dec
ember Edwards shipped some ore
to the company, which amounted
to SLIT. After sampling and as
saying, the company refused to
purchase it. Attorney Jonn j.
White, who represents Mr.. Ed
wards. contends that they are
compelled to buy the ore as they
are licensed ore buyers.
After hearing the arguments
pro and con (mostly con) Judge
Graham took the case under ad-
visement.
