Location, climate, hotel accommoda-

The Jetty Casino at Nice and the
Municipal Casino at Cannes are the

favor this Mediterranean section, and
there is "Y" club for them. Every
thing except the gambling that was
stopped by the government at the be-

other athletic sports, bathing, boating

WILSON SAVES THE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
 MEASURE BY VETO

The layligh saving law was rescued from repeal last Saturday by Presi- dent Wilson's veto of the agricultural appropriation bill.
 The president also vetoed the sun- dry civil appropriation bill because, he said, by restriction of funds it crip- pied the work of rehabilitating and re- storing disabled soldiers and sailors to civil life.
 The latter veto was accepted with out contest by congress and the sun dry civil bill went back to the commit, tee to be reframed.
 Veto of daylight saving repeal was not accepted so readily, although the prevailing opinion was that neces- sary two-thirds vote to repass it over the presidents veto probably would not be mustered.
 Both bills provide funds for which agencies of the government long have been waiting. They are already months behind schedule because they failed of passage in the last congress.

Theology of the Highlands

The minister's class at the kirk of Tobermory had been reading the story of Joseph and his brethern, and it came to the turn off the minister to examine the boys. The replies to all his questions had been quick, intelli- gent and correct. Such as:
 "What great crime did the sons of Jacob commit" ?"
 "They sold their brother Joseph"
 "Quite correct. And for how much? ?"
 "Twenty pieces of silver"
 "And what added to the cruelty and wickedness of these bad brothers" ?"
 A pause.
 "What made their treachery even more detestable and henious? ?"
 Then bright little Highlander stretched out eager hand.
 "Well, my man?"
 Please, sir, they sell't him over cheap."-Journal of the American Medical Association.

ALLIES TO DEMAND
 TRIAL OF l67 HUNS

The allies will ask Germany to de- mand of Holland that she deliver the ex-kaiser for trial, as we'll as many other officials who have taken refuge ill The Netherlands, said an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Berlin.
 In all the allies will demand 167 German officials for trial, including some of the highest army officers and civil officials in power in Ger many during the war. The list in- cIudes:
 Field Marshall von Hindenburg, former chief of staff of the German army.
 Dr. Ludendorff, chief of staff to von Hindenburg, and known as "the brains of the German army"
 General Falykenhayn, former chief of staff of the German army, who was in command of the invasion of Rou- mania from the north.
 Gen. Won Kluck, who led the Ger man army that drove on Paris through Belgium and northern France in the autumn of 1914.
 Gen. von Vaulkenhausen (probably the officer of the same name who was military governor of Belgium when Germany collapsed.)
 Field Marshall von Mackensen, who led the southern wing of the German army against Russia in the campaign of 1915 when Warsaw, Brest-Litovsk and a number of other fortresses were captured and who later com

COPPER QUEEN COURSE :. OPEN TO EMPLOYEES
 DURING HOT WEATHER

Bisbee, July 19. The Copper Queen has decided to keep it's mining course open during the summer months, on account of the interest that is being taken in the work by their employees. So much. time was lost during the influenza epidemic, that the course was placed considerably behind the schedule.
 The mining course as given for the Copper Queen employees is one of the most distinctive educational advan- tages ever given to employees of the metal mining industry, the course be- ing open to all employees, and offer ing them a definite road to promotion that can be taken irrespective of pre- vious education.
 The course consists of forty-four lessons, each given by specialist in the subject, each lecture printed and distributed free of charge. The sub ject matter covers large range, be- ing complete semi-technical course in mining, designed particularly to fit miners to be shift bosses and foreman.
 The course is so arranged that a man may start any time, and the steadily increasing attendance shows that advantage is being taken of this factor, and that the course advertises itself.
 One of the most important parts of the course is that part devoted to instruction in handling men, for it is realized that the shift boss, to his men, is the interpreter of the com pany policies, and it is essential that he be correct interpreter.
 The Warren District Practical Min ing Course, as it lis called, has beer very successful so far, even though it has not completed it's first year. The ambition of the Copper Queen er'- ployees is shown by the fact that the average attendance has been over two hundred, all men who desire to better their working conditions. In this day of vocational training, a practical mining course, given by practical miners, to men who are able to earn full days pay stands out promin- ently.

ARMY EQUIPMENT IS
 ORDERED RETURNED
 FOR ROAD BUILDING
Caterpillar Tractors, Road Rollers, and Concrete Mixers Included; Secretary of Agriculture Tells Scope of Program Now Un-
 der Way

At the request of the Department of Agriculture the War Department has ordered to be returned from France as soon as possible a large quantity of engineering equipment to be distributed by the Department of Agriculture, through the Bureau of Public Roads, to the States for use in the construction and maintainence of Federal-aid highways. The equip ment will be distributed to the States without charge, in accordance with recent legislation empowering the Secretary of War to turn over to the Secretary of Agriculture surplus mili- tary equipment not needed for mili- tary purposes but valuable in high representation work. The equip ment will be apportioned on the basis of the allotments in the Federal Aid Road Act, in the same way that 20,- 900 Army motor trucks ars now be- ing distributed by tn Bureau of Pub lie Roads at the request of the State highway departments.
 Much Equipment Included
 The equipment which the Secretary of Wal, has been requested to return from France includes about 1,500 cat erpillar tractors; about 400 road rol- lers, steam and gas driven; and a large number of concrete mixers, road graders, elevating graders, rock crushers, industrial railway track, dump cars, steam shovels, hoisting en- zines, electric motor, and quantities of smaller equipment.
 In his letter requesting the return of this eqiupment the Secretary of Agriculture said: ..
 'The highway-construction program which the Federal Government and the States propose to begin immed- mediately is the largest public under taking contemplated in the near fu- ture. It offers an imemdiate field for the employment of labor and the use of materials that will help to stabilize business along a number of lines. The work has been expanded so sud denly that it has not been possible to make adequate provision for furnish ing the necessary equipment, and pre- viously all the available supply was absorbed by the demands of the War Department.
 
 'T am sending you this list as a re- suit of conference which have just held with the executive committee of the American Association of State Highway Officials, at which it was represented that the various States are very anxious to secure additional equipment of the kinds indicated.
 q am thoroughly in sympathy with the efforts that are being made by the War Department to aid returning soldiers in securing employment, and I am convinced that if the equipment and supplies listed are made avai,bale it will facilitate highway construction, and thereby stimulate the employment of labor" aa
