REV. 2. A. SIMPKIN TELLS
OF COLORADO CONDITIONS

Rev Peter 4. Simpkin. personally
known 10 almost every coal miner IN
the Carbon district, got back last
week Ia Utah from a trip of obscrva-
ton ~ to economic conditions through
Colorado, particularly as to those oh
tanning ut the camps and properties
of Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
" parson" Simpkin recalls similar
visit made 10 these localities twenty
years ago. when he found armed
guards pntroling the camps. and no
stranger was allowed inside unless he
wanted 10 90 10 the postofficc some
thing that could not be denied The
clergyman found the employees living
IN ruinous shacks that were infested
with all kinds Of vcrmin. there was no
attempt ut sanitation. the CUTTERS
were sewers; people were living like
animals IA a barnynrd. and IN the
Mexican quarters employees with large
families were IN houses Of but single

GIRLS NARROWED
IN MANLESS EDEN
Teachers in Hawaii Can't Get
Home, So Spend Vacation
on Tropical Isle.

Marooned on a tropical isle 1000
miles or more from home, and camp
ing on the brink of the crater Of Kill
auea, one of the worlds greatest &C.
tive volcanoes, 200 girls, most of them
pretty and all of them charming, are
spending a vacation of two months In
a manless Eden.
This is not a scenario; it's a descrip-
ton of Hawaii's summer camp for
homesick school-teachers. A few weeks
ago some 300 woman school-teachers
heard the sad news that they could not
get back to the states for their sum-
mer vacation, the army transports be-
ing booked full with army officers and
soldiers, and the passenger liners be-
ing sold out for months ahead, war
service having taken many of the Pa
cific's finest steamers to the Atlantic.
When the teachers predicament be-
came known, L. A. Thurston, Honolu-
III newspaper publisher, suggested the
idea Of q summer camp for teachers at
Kilauea, where the great elevation and
cool climate would give the young wo-
men q pleasant change from the rath-
err depressing summer heat of the Ha-
waiian lowlands. The cooperation OF
the department of public education,
the Y. NJ. C. A. and the army was en-
listed, the military camp at the volca-
no being obtained for the accommoda-
tion of the teachers and such Y. M. @.
A. members as cared to attend.
The public schools closed June u
and the summer camp opened June %,
to close about Sept. 1. A summer nor
NAL school will be conducted In con-
nection with the camp, but attendance
Is not obligatory. The young women
are being provided with meals at actu-
| al cost.

was desperately hungry, and in
its haste and eagerness to sat

into a salmon can that APP

unable to get its head out and

down babies in its efforts to free
itself. People In the neighbor-

Tabby was very tame after the
can was pried off by a cop.
