UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.

A COLLEGE which looks like an

state university OF New NIexiso. To-
Gated at Albuquerque.
Many years ago the university was
a collection Of very ordinary brick
buildings set down in a sandy waste.
It then acquired a president who was
"a learned archaeologist. and an ad-
mirer OF the Pueblo Indian architec-
ture. When 1t came to building a
couple of dormitories, one for men
and one for women. he had them de-
signed like Pueblos in every detail
and built Of cement, when resembles
plastered adobe They were chris

ing, much larger structure. was re-
nodded in the Same style.
But il was the boys OF a local fra
ternity who added the most daring
touch to this local color harmony.
They built a fraternity house which
was exactly like a -khiva." or sacred
council chamber Of the Indians, half
underground, and entered only by a
ladder through trap door in the roof
Two members or the fraternity even

A COLD WEATHER
WARNING
Congealing Oils Endanger
Motors

"Hard cranking and sluggishness of
the motor in cold weather usually
indicates serious condition in the
motor due to the use of poor cold
test oil, one that congeals OF. thick
ems and does not Intricate correctly
in old weather, said Mr.. F. L. Bosch,
special agent of the Standard Oil
Company yesterday.
"a poor cold test oil will not flow
and properly Intricate until it has
been warmed by the motor running
for some fifteen to thirty minutes,
during which time excessive friction
is present and serious wear takes
place in the cylinders and bearings.
Motorists can avoid this danger
and annoyance by using Zerolene
which is refined from California
crude of the naphthene series. This
oil has a natural zero cold test be-
cause it contains no paraffine to con-
geal at low temperatures. It keeps
the motor flexible and easy to turn
over during cold weather and insures
correct fabrication of the automobile
right from the start"

authorities wise to the various loca-

Arizona by the gang of burglars he
exposed; and there is continued recov-

Yesterday Chief J. ]. Lowe went
across the line and was delivered by
the police authorities over there a
trunk filled with clothing, ready
made suits, and the materials for
clothing made to measure, some of
it cut up for making. Also there
were delivered a guitar, a revolver,
and watch fob, all of which the boy
identified as having been sold by
himself on behalf of the burglars,
now in Jail.

One has but to hear the word

the quality of the screen offering
which awaits him at the local pic

Such is the reputation of Mr..
Frank keenan,, known as the peer Of

trayer of picture parts, fits his
'scenerios to suit his own individual
acting.
In "The Long Chance" which
comes to the Royal theatre today,
Mr.. Keenan, is seen at his best. The
picture was months in the making;
the weather conditions and all were
such that Mr.. keenan, took great per-

which will long live in the hearts Of
those who see it today at the Royal

BLIND MAN POULTRY FANCIER
Missourian Has Made Success of the
Work, Despite Handicap Wrich
Would Seem lnsurmountable.

Blind Edward Jones of Jefferson
City, Mo-, has made record in keep
ing poultry which many who have
eyes have not equaled. Moving among
MS birds, which seem to understand
1ow he is handicapped, and guided
only by his sense Of touch, he per-
forms his daily work. He has built
his own poultry house and brood
coops, and has hatched and raised all
his chicks. Blindness does not pre-
vent him from culling his flock. The
birds not intended to be kept are mar
keted as broilers, and the others are
kept for the production of winter
eggs.
Mr.. Jones attended every poultry
meeting held in his section last fall.
He is now trying to organize poultry
club for blind people, and the home
demonstration agent in the county
has volunteered to read to the mem
bers the publications on poultry sent
from the United States department of

RECALLSOLD ROME
Ancient Coin of Surprising His
t0riC Interest.
Two Thousand Years Since It Came
From the Mint, What Story OF
Adventures This Token
Could Tell!

A coin 1000 years old, which may
Roman senator, passed from hand
to hand in the dice games Of members
Of the Roman imperial guard, been
tossed to the rabble by patrician as
he passed through the streets on his
way to the baths, or thrown to a
victorious gladiator by one of the YES
tai virgins, now is in the possession
of Arthur S. Hibler United States i'm
migrant inspector at New Orleans. On
it's way to Mexico, where it was OBJ
tanned by it's present owner, the coin
may have been carried as a keepsake
by one of the Spanish conquerors and
exchanged for the gold and jewels
Of the Aztecs. Two thousand years
afford ample time to pass through a
few adventures.
The coin is valued by Mr.. Hibler,
not only for its age. but for the queer
history attached to his gaining pos
session of it. While he claims he is
not superstitious, he admits he regards
the coin as a good luck talisman. The
piece was sold to him by a Mexican,
who wished to cross the border at
Brownsville, Tex, and had not enough
money for his toll. To pay his way
fered the coin with several others to
Mr.. Hibler, asserting that it had a
strange significance and blessing at
tached to it. 1t had been given him,
he said, by the mother of a member
of Villas band, who had been mur-
dered in a cafe brawl AS he lay dy-
ing, he had begged the man to take
a handkerchief, stained with his life
blood, to his mother. The Mexican
had sworn to fulfill the trust, and
delivered the handkerchief to the old
woman. She opened the corner Of the
handkerchief, which was knotted
tightly, and took out several coins.
Then she retired into an inner room
and, returned placed small silvery
disk in the messengers hand, saying
it was talisman that would mean
much to it's possessor.
The coin is small and white, re-
sembling a modern United States dime
in size and color On it's front is
relief of a Roman emperor, with the
inscription: "Domitian VIII, Imp.
Caesar" and several other characters
which are indistinguishable. On the
reverse side is what seems to be re-
production of the temple erected in
Jerusalem by Solomon. It is worn
thin by the touch Of the millions Of
hands in which it must have rested.
81 have no doubt that it is genuine"
Mr.. Hibler said. "But how did it
come into the possession of the Viii
lista bandit? Well-quien sabe"

The Pleasures of Travel.

"Wa-al-p'tu-no," said the ancient
Arkansawyer, II hain't never did much
Of what you'd call travelling. I was 81
years old last grass; born and raised
right here in Shagbark township, and
hain't been outside Of the county but
once. That was when was about sc
years old. went over to Torpidville
and they just nacher'ly took and start
ed to lynch me the minute I got tc
town, for something or nuther, never
did find out what. One foot was al
ready in the air and the other barely
touching the ground when some fellel
came running and hollered that they
were making q mistake-I wasn't the
guilty party a-tall AS soon as they
turned me bose I lit out for home as
the crow flies, and I hain't done nc
travelling to speak Of since. I always
figgered that on the next occasion the
Teller that knowed it was a mistake
might not get there in time to do me
any good."-Judge.

The Tale of an Egg.

Frank Lafferty, captain of police
at Muncie, once answered call late
at night from a restaurant whose own
er asked that a drunken man be taken
from the place.
"It was the strangest case of intox-
ication I ever dealt WITH" said Laf-
ferty, relating the experience. "1n the
restaurant I found sitting on high
stool at the counter an elderly man
who was weeping into his plate con-
tanning the remnants Of what evidently
had been a hard boiled egg.
"'What's the matter? asked the
soggy individual and he answered be-
tween choking sobs I weep to think
that by this act of cruelty in devouring
this egg I have deprived some poor
innocent chicken of the right of being
born!
"And do you know" Lafferty con-
tinued, "the only way we could com
fort the poor fellow and get him out
of there was to tell him it was not
that kind of an egg."-Indianapolis
News.
