Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver, May 15.-Robert Walter
Epeer, mayor of Denver, died at 3
o'clock Tuesday afternoon of pneu-
monia at his home, 800 Humboldt
street, and the tolling of the bells in
the Immaculate Conception and St.
Johns cathcdrals conveyed the first
knowledge of his death to the citizens
Of Denver.
Not rntil an hour before he died did
he lose consciousncss-and until that
time his mind was trained on the
problems of the city he loved. Also
on the question which had been clos
est to his heart, one on which he
spent great thought-how his city
could more effectively aid the nation
In winning the war. For an hour be-
lore he became unconscious he insist
ed on talking with those at his bedside
on these matters.
In spite of his weakness, still refus-
Ing to admit that death could con-
Quer, he discussed plans he had
formed fully. and those which were in

complete, for carrying on his work of
city building. To his cousin, ]. Frank
Adams, who sat with Mrs. Speer, and
v. L. Chucovich, a friend of many
years, his last words were concerning
the many matters which have been in
his hands for a closer cooperation
with the government service on the
part of Denver, and a coordination of
the city's best energies and minds for
war work.
Then he closed his eyes. From that
time on he gradually grew weaker,
his heart refusing to respond to the
stimulation administered by his ply
stefan, who had been with him con-
stantly since Sunday, when pneu-
monia claimed him as i victim. Death
came to him in easy form, painless.
Mr.. Speer was 60 years old. He
had been weeks at his desk, long
hours each day. Contracting a severe
cold, he had refused the urgent pleas
of his friends to go to his home. The
strain of the burdens of city govern
ment and his illness Slapped his
strength and left him little with
which to combat the ravages of the
dread disease.
AS the word went speeding from Of
flee to office and store to store, men
OF business and the professions voiced
sorrow that bespoke the feeling
with which Mr.. Speer was held in
Denver.
The body of the mayor now rests
In his home. Interment will be in
Paramount cemetery and, in all prob
ability, eventually the citizens of Den
yer will erect mausoleum as their
tribute to the man.
At city hall municipal employees
cried openly when they were told.
Monday had been set for the mayors
return to his desk to take up again
the work into which he had, since his
reelection two years ago, thrown all
his energies. That work now must be
taken up by W. F. r. Mills, manager
Of parks, who automatically becomes
mayor. He will carry out, 1t is said,
the policies Mr.. Speer held, and con-
tinue the great works of Improvement
he had started.

DEVICE TO KEEP
!. FOOD IN SUMMER
Evaporation of Water From Cloth
Cover Is Cooling Principle of
Refrigerator.
COOLER FOR DRINKING WATER
Temperature Of 30 Degrees F. POSI-.
Bile Under Ideal conditions-PIaee
for Meats, Fruits, Vegetables,
Milk and Butter.

Where ice Is not obtainable an Ice
less refrigerator, homemade, will be
useful food keeper and food saver this
summer. Maintaining low tempera-
ture through the evaporation of water
from its canvas cover, the iceless re-
frigerator will keep meats, fruits and
vegetables cool and will extend the pc
Rod for keeping milk and butter. 1t
can also serve as cooler for drinking
water.
Separate Refrigerators.
In homes where large quantities of
milk and butter are to be kept it would
be well to have one refrigerator for
milk and butter and another for other
foods, as milk and butter readily alb
sorb odors from other foods. 1t costs
nothing to operate it. The operationis
as simple as the construction. The
upper pan should be kept filled with
water. The water is drawn by capil-
larry attraction through the wicks and
saturates the cover. AS evaporation
takes place heat is taken from the
inside Of the refrigerator. thereby low
ering the temperature of the inside
and the contents. Capillary action
starts more readily If the cover is first
dampened by dipping it in water or
throwing water upon it. The greater
the rate Of evaporation the lower the
temperature which can be secured;
therefore the refrigerator works best
when rapid evaporation takes place.
Evaporation Is Rapid.
When the refrigerator is placed in
shady place In strong breeze and the
air is warm and dry. evaporation
takes place continuously and rapidly
and the temperature inside the refrig-
orator is reduced. Under ideal condi-
lions the temperature has been
known to be reduced to 80 degrees
Fahrenheit. When 1t is damp. and
the air is full Of moisture, the refrig-
orator will not work as well, since
there is not enough evaporation. More
water will find its way to the lower
pan. but 1t will be drawn up into the
covering by capillary attraction when
the air Sgaln becomes drier.
The refrigerator should be regularly
cleaned and summed. If the framework,
shelves and pans are white enameled
they can more easily be kept in sani-
tary condition. It is well to have two
covers, so that fresh one can be used
each week and the soiled one washed
and summed.
