HOME SERVICE

Home Service of the Red Cross
safeguards the morale of the army
and navy. By morale we mean the
inward, spiritual quality that enab-
les one to do his best in any crisis,
BY Home Service we mean those at
home who are endeavoring in any
way to relieve the stress and anx.
iety of those families who have men
in the United States service.
To know that the folks at home
have friends and comforts, that they
Will be taken care of in all cases
of trouble, illness, ETC., helps the
man at the front to render better
service fer his country. ,
If your 10y or your friend is in
the service and has not been heard
from, or If you know that things are
net going well with him or his fam
lily. If there are needs, or debts, or
financial troubles of any kind, will
you kindly inform some member of
the Home Service Section of the
Red Cross that we may have an op-
rortunity to adjust matters?
True worth is in beirg, net SEEM
ing;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good; not in dreaming
Or great things to do by and by"

COLORADO YEAR BOOK

The first Year Book ever prepar-
ed by the state of Colorado has just
been completed by the State Board
of immigration and is now ready
for distribution. Free COPIES are to
be sent to public libraries, county
commissioners, educational institu-
tions, etc, but owing to the heavy
cost of production, general free dis
tribution to the public is impossible.
The book will be furnished at actual
estimated at 40 cents per copy. 1t
ccntaiEs more information relative
to the state than does the Year Book
Of any other state in the union.
Subjects such as area, population,
county and town finances. educa-
tional statistics, highways, railroads,
telephone and telegraph mileage,
bank statistics, per capita figures
and wide variety Of other informa-
tion are treated by counties in s.z'
ty-four statistical tabulations cover
ing 212 items of information. Twenty
five tables cover 1876 lines OF infor-
nation for each of the SO counties
OF the state. Tie land Of the state
has been classified carefully by coun
ties and considerable space has been
given to crop production. and to in
formation concerning homesteads,
national forests and similar subjects.
In addition, the book contains
separate county stories giving au-
thoritative informat alton concerning
each county. Another feature is the
location and altitude of more than
300 mountain peaks and many lakes
and mountain passes, together with
a table showing the distances of cit
les and towns from Denver.
1t is impossible to enumerate in a
reasonable space the entire contents
of the book, but it has been pronoun-
ced by the governor and other COM
petent authorities to be the most
complete work of its kind ever at
tempted by the state.

GOLD NEXT TO FOOD

In 1912, twenty dollar gold piece
would buy 2S6 pounds of 7-S irch oc-
tagonal drill-steel; today 1t will buy
about 80 pounds. This is simply
one illustration of what the gold
mining industry Is "up against"
Every commodity 1t uses fas advanc-
ed in Price from 25 to 400 per cent.
but the Price of gold remains the
same and must remain the same.
AS gold dollar will hardly buy
half as much as before the war,
there appears to be no great advant-
age in mining gold ores at this time
-esr ecially when elmost every var
iety of mining cost has doubled and
more. AS a result gold production
is falling off at an alerming rate.
AS it is impossible to increase the
price of gold, temporary measures
tending to reduce taxes on gold min
ing properties are teing considered
to help offset increased prices OF
other commodities.
Sec. McAdoo says: Next to food
and ammunition, gold is one Of the
most needed war essentials"
The public las not understood the
situation but an instant's thought
will show the pligtt of the gold min
ing industry and emphasize the nec-
essity for measures to encourage
production.

BIG BELT SNAPS,
NO CASUALTIES
Was 80 Inches Wide,
Weighed Two Tons; Many
Marvellous Escapes.

Emerging from a maelstrom of fiy-
ing chunks of steel last evening at
O'Clock at the Potomac Electric
Company power house at Fourteenth h
and + streets northwest, thirty cleo
tgicians gaave fervent thanks that
their stars were lucky. Breaking IF
n two-ton, siN;y-inch-w wide belt on n
1900 horsepower machine cut off tffe
electricity from the downtown street
lights until after o'clock and caused
havoc generally.
The marvel that there were no cas-
ualties is unexplained Several huge
machines were wrecked by being torn
into great chunks of cast steI. One
of these pieces pierced the roof.
Many more pieces of the size of a
library table bombarded the walls.
A representative of the belt COM
pany from Baltimore was looking al
the belt when il broke. His UNI
brella which he held was wrecked
and his hat was knocked off but he
escaped injury. The belt, which was
many years old and made of cemented
hide, is now a total wreck along with
the rest of the machinery. although
1t was worth many thousands of dol
lars 1t had Just been repaired
When the great belt let go and tore
up the machine, it also burst a water
main and flooded the cellar of the
power plant. This short-circuited the
ca ables to the downtown district street
lights and set fire to them.
The city lights and the alternating
current south of u street northwest
and southeast and southwest were out
of commission from ) until 7.30 p. NJ

That a peace. not of vengeance. but

That our land has been free from
the ravages of war.
That we have not had to pay a ter
rible price in loss of precious lives.
That brave soldiers and sailors will
come back proud to have had part in
freeing oppressed races.
That we are, and always have been,
free people.
That revolution, which has almost
DESTROYED Russia and now ravages
other lands. has no occasion to raise
it's threatening hand here.
That the nation has show 'tseli
sound at heart.
That we are God-fearing and rev.
erent people.
with such traditions and blessings

prayer and heartfelt gratitude should
fill to overfiowing every house Of wor-

CHILE AND PERU LIKELY
TO PATCH UP TROUBLE
Officials Here See Little Possibil.
ity Of Open Rupture.

The State Department indicated
yesterday that present relations be-
tween Chile and Peru give every
evidence that the possibility of an
open rupture between the two re-
publics has passed.
II was stated that officials view
only as a most remote possibility
the proposal that the United States
and other American republics should
act as mediators, either in the ques-
tion arising from the acts of Chilean
citizens toward Peruvian officials or
that pertaining to the readjustment
OF boundary lines.
Latest advices lead officials TO be-
lieve that the differences will be
composed quickly and that the
naming by President Wilson of a
board of umpires to act with others
in the consideration of the prob
lens presented will be sought by
Chile only as a last resort
