'The American Legion is not a po-

1.-THE delay which has taken place in
connection with the demolition of this
building was due primarily to the war
aud later to the removal Of the ma
chinery and certain material from the
building. In compliance with the wishes
of the federal government, Mayor Smith
made no effort to have the occupants
'vacate the building during the war for
the reason that the building and its
equipment were necessary to the manu-
facture of many articles essential in the
conduct of the war.

GENERAL MUIR HAS NO HOME,
LEGALLY, AND NEVER VOTED
Iron DiUson Commander Diuuges Secret in Declining to
Discuss Military Presidential Possibilities

Major General Charles II. Muir has
yet to cast his first vote. Nile made
this admission today in declining to
discuss possibilities for military can
didate for the presidency in 1920.
1t isn't that "Uncle Charley" Muir
doesn't believe in voting. He says it
is the fact that he has never been able
to establish voting residence since he
became of age.
THE only place that I might claim n
home" he said. '"is the village in
Michigan where I was born, but I sup
pose some state regulation would re-
quire more residence there than I could
establish. | have never been able to
establish n voting residence since | have
been in the service"
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-05-05

Much of General Muir's service has
been out of the country. He served
with the Second Infantry in the war
with Spain and came from his duties
on the Panama canal to take command
of the Twenty eighth Division.
He was asked whether he thought the
boom of Major General Leonard Wood
for the Republican candidacy in 1920
would win favor with soldiers.
II have no opinion on political
matter" he said. ''and wouldn't OK
press them if I had any. know Gen
eral Wood. Met him first on my way
to Cuba in 1898 when we were on the
same boat. I have seen him since, but
do not know him intimately. But !
don't know anything about politics.

MAY FETE
AT COLORADO UNIVERSITY

The University of Colorado is Civ
ing its fourth biennial May Fete this
spring. The first one was given in
1912. but last yenrproperly was the
date for the regular event. Due, how
ever, to the fact that war conditions
made it wiser to postpone it, added
interest, enthusiasm, and work are
Icing manifested by the entire stu
dent body this year in making this the
best production Of its kind the Uni
versity has ever attempted.
The May Fete is given under the
auspices of the Womeh's League, the
official coed organization of the
school. The proceeds each time are
added to the Sarah Platt Decker fund
which is dedicated to the erection of
dormitories for the women. The fund
Of this year will be expended for some
permanent memorial in the new wo-
mems building which is no longer an
idle dream. Because this event Is
given by the women. every coed in
the University takes part. and helps
in the success Of the day.
This year. Homecoming day is to
be combined with the May Fete. and
consequently May "a. 1910. will be
long remembered ms tho biggest day
thc University has been. The program
The Arvada enterprise., 1919-04-17

of the day will start at nine O'clock
with a girls tennis match, followed by
baseball game with Greeley, and
track meet with Fort Collins ut ten.
At noon, on the campus, an all-Colo-
rado beefsteak fry is being arranged
for, and promises to solve the diff
ficulty of providing lunch for the
hundreds Of hungry guests. At three
comes the big event of the day-the
the May Fete itself. The scheme of
the Fete this var is most ingenious.
It will be the portrayal of the visit of
modern children to the wonderful
realms Of fairyland, where they will
be entertained at the court revels of
'Oberson and Titantic. Each class in
the traditional procession will 70.
present the characters of some fami-
liar fairy tale which children plead
TO hear again and again. The court
entertainers will take the audience
to the lovely Never-Never Land Of
Peter Pan. to the home Of the Du-
chess, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire
Cat in Wonderland, to the domains Of
far-off Araby and even to the Gre
clan realms which will always live in
the minds of children and grown ups.
At four-thirty, following the Fete,
the Laws and Engineers will stage n
fitting contest on the lake. At six, the
big Alumni dinner is to be given. In
the evening. the men of the Univer-
sity are presenting a "clever campus
comedy" Following this, dance
Is to be given for the guests, and the
Engineering school will open its

HOW DO YOU SIT
WHEN YOU STUDY

Modern civilization has compelled
man to do a great deal of his work
in 10 isedentary po%tion. We take
this position to read and study and
TO carry on great deal Of ur busi-
ness. We are led to inquire, in what
ssdentary position are we most eff
cient mentally?
Mental efficiency depends mainly
upon the proper nourishment of the
brain. The mind is most efficient
when the brain is best supplied with
blood. Our circulatory system is de-
signed to drive the blood thru the
brain in the proper manner when we
are in an erect position. Man is an
erect animal, more SO than any other
form of animal life. The erect Pc
sition seems to be the most natural
and the most healthful. Our senses
are most alert and our intellect keen
est when We are in this position.
Our pulse rate is about ten 5csl"
faster when we are standing TIT
| It is when we are lying. AS cur si.-
ting posture becomes more reclining.
% we slide down in our chairs and
elevate our feet, our pulse rate drops,
our brain becomes overcharged Wit
more slowly moving blood, and our
mind loses some of its keenne-s. Y
generally feel more comfortable in
this position because we become
drowsy. Added to this there is III,
