Two D. c. Nurses Home: Both Cited
tFrom the Washington Start.


Back from the war, decorated and
with American Army citations, came
Miss Margaret Reamy and Miss Mary
MacCallister last week, adding two TO
the list of Washington's returned
heroineS. They are guests at the home
of DIR. j. h. Branson, 1923 Massachu-
sets avenue.
Miss MacCalIister and Miss Reamy
entered the Army nursing branch in
October, 1917, being sent from this
city to Georgia camps. They returned
To the north six months later and sail
ed from New York on June 4, 1918, af-
ter waiting two months at that port for
transportation. They arrived in
Havre after fourteen days on the
ocean.
At Jouy, where was located the hos
pital against which Hun air raids call
ed forth the most violent protest from
the allies, these girls experienced the
terrorism OF Germans. They had vol
unteered for extra duty one night, be-
ing detached from their Army unit end
sent TO the Red Cross on account of
the pressing need for more nurses at
Juoy. AT midnight came the air raid.
"Miss MacCalister was in charge of
tent in which were seventy i've
wounded boys" Miss Reamy declared
1.-The planes COULD eaSily be seen now
and then, as the searchlights picked
them out and lost them again. One
particular bomber swooped down from
the heights, until he was. Just above
the buildings, and then he let go three
bombs. Five of our boys were killed,
one nurse and eleven other boys were
wounded. But the effect it had upon
the other wounded men there was what
hurt their conditions. The transports
of rage into which they few against
the Germans bombing Red Cross hos
pitfalls were positively weakening TO
them"
The girls we're in the Champagne
Marine defensive from July Is TO Is,
and in the Aisne- Marine drive from
July Is TO August g. On September IL
they went behind the lines at St. Mi
hiel, remaining until September l6
The fourth campaign-in which they
were was the MeuSe-Argonne, from
September Is to November IL.
When they were transported into
Germany, it was with forty-eight other
women, in a box car. Nine days later
and during that time they lived on
slim rations. In Germany they were
stationed at Prum, 10 kilometers from
Coblenz.
The two young nurses will leave this
city soon for a short vacation. The
two girls had been pals" at the
Homeopathic Hospital here, they went
through the war together, ard will
plan for the future on the vacation ri
Hot Springs, Va.
Miss. Reamy Is a cousin of Mrs,
Adam I. While, Of Abel, this county,

FEDERAL ROAD PROJECTS
State Officials Here Inspecting Propos-
ed Work to be Commenced
Soon

l. j. Ehrhart, state highway COM
missioner. and J. Il. Maloney, state
highway engineer, were in Lamar this
week and in company with County
Commissioner Fred Williams, County
Clerk l.. NJ Markham and Engineer
Ii. C. Byrnes inspected two Federal
Road Projects that will soon be under
way, Nos. 81 and 5S. No. 81 is the
concrete highway to be constructed
from the north end Of Main street to
the Markham corner north Of the river
bridge. No. SO does away with one
Of the worst hauls on the south road
1T the high rock cliff near Clay Creek.
1t starts at the northwest corner of
32-24-46, and leaves the section line
at one point distance of six hundred
feet in order to avoid the rocks and
steep grade. 1t extends distance oil
seven miles to the connection line be
tween 25 and 26. This Will give a
read easy of construction as it Will all
be dirt work and at the came time
will avoid the hard pull up the hill.
The plans prepared by Engineer
Byrnes for both these projects have
been accepted and it is expected the
contracts will soon be let.
The grading of the road from the
south end of Third Street to the new
road recently accepted has been COM
pieted and the latter road is being rap
idly surfaced with gravel. The state
has received the first installment Of
army trucks and they will be allotted
to the counties on August 1lth. Prov
ers county has an application in for
two 2-ton trucks and expects to Sc
cure them and place one on the eastern
section of the Santa Fe Trail and one
on the western end to be steadily EN-
ployed in surfacing the trail with
gravel.
The officials also visited the Baca
county officitls at Springfield and in
terviewed them relative to work on
the continuation of the highway
through that county. On all this work
the government pays so per cent, and
the state 25 per cent, the remaining
25 per cent coming from the county
where the work is done.

Senate to Begin Coal Probe.

Washington, July 29.-(Special cor

linghuysen is going to the bottom of
the coal situation. He has introduced
a resolution in the Senate directing the
Committee on Interstate Commerce TO
conduct an investigation into the
causes that have brought about the
enormous increase in the market price
Of coal" The committee is authorized
to appoint subcommittee to carry on
the work, to summon and compel the
attendance Of witnesses, and to do any
further act that may be necessary to
obtain full information upon the SUBJ

been completed the Committee is to
make . full report to the Senate, with
recommendations for Congressional or
Executive action designed ''to remedy
existing conditions or the punishment
of any individual or corporation deem
cd guilty of unlawful acts Senator
Frelinghuysen is a member Of the In

he is the originator of the resolution
of inquiry it is probable that he will
be put in charge of such action as the
Committee determines upon. One ia

Public Unwi,tingly Aids bureaucracy

Hundreds of kilograms are coming
TO Senator Smoot, Chairman cf the
Joint Committee ON Printing, urging
that certain government publications
be not Discontinued. lnasmuch as the
messages are practically all wordcd
alike the Senator is convinced that
they represent form Of propaganda
directed from u central headquarters.
In the hearings that have been held
before his committee the Senator has
come TO the conclusion that whenever
u bureau fears that any Of its pamph-
lets are to be discontinued it immed-
iately begins campaign for their con-
tinuance by sending kilograms at pub
lie expense to all parts Of the country
asking interested persons TO wire their
Senators and Congressman protesting
against the discontinuance of the pub
ll;cations Mr.. Smoot has frequently
communicated with the senders of the
ltclegrams, only to find that they knew
practically nothing about what they
discussed, and that their action had
been inspired from Washington. 81

every Senator and every Represent
ative ought to announce that he will
pay no attention to propaganda of

HELPING THE CORPORATIONS
Reformers M Usual Put One Over on
the Individual Taxpayers.

Every SO often a bunch of reform
ers so-callcd organize an association,
establish headquarters, and promote
GONE new-fangled reform for the bene-
fit of the people" The latter sooner
or later bite without investigating
who is paying the bills-although all
know that these dear rcformers never
work for nothing. The Colorado Tax
Commission was one Of these reforms
put over by one bunch of rcfermers,
and it is quite evident now who finane-
ed the scheme. Although they always
insist on holding up the assessment
Of the county so as to show an in
crease eac.i year, yet they don't hHsi-
tate in face of any conditions to cut
the valuation for taxation purposes of
the public service corporations. This
year they have sliced over forty thous-
and dollars off of the Prowers county
corporation valuations. Nearly half
Of this was taken from the valuation
Of the Wclls-Fargo Express &C., now
the American Express Co., although
this company never did SO much busi-
ness before in the county. About nine
Thousand dollars reduction in assess
ment was granted the Internountain
X. l.. & P. Co.-proSably rs reward
fer the splendid service rendered. A
reduction was also given TIE Mountain
States Tel. & Tel. Co., because they
have revcr had to pass a dividend like
the rest Of us. Tie Colorado Tax
Commission must get its commission
all right-at least they ought to as
they earn it from the corporations.
