Ancestral Brains.

Some folks live on the glory OF their
ancestors. They tell of the great
things they did and the greater things
they think they did Then when they
get the ear Of some one especially
sympathetic and credulous, there is an
eruption of boast of greatness that
might have been. These poor creatures
live in the past. It's no wonder they
do so little in the present.

Facts About the Bloodhound

Bloodhounds were first known as
slegthhounds owing to their ability
TO track the deer, wild boar or the
wolf. When the wounded game
broke away and was lost, these good
nosed dogs were used in trailing the
quarry by the blood trail. and hence
they We're finally called bloodhounds.

DESCRIBES PRESENT
DAY FOLLY OF CHASING
AT TER AMUSEMENT

DENVER, Dec. PA return to the
conditions prevailing during the So
called Dark Ages IS predicted BY
Mrs. Mary q q. Bradford. retiring
Superintendent Of Public instruction
In Colorado.
Mrs. Bradford was defeated for re-
election 10 the position in the Novem-
Der Republican landslide in this state.
The movies, automobiles and other
amusements have now lured the people
away from learning. declared Mrs.
Bradford a widely-known educatoI
and former president Of the National
Education Association. She said an
other Dark Age by 1850 is the in
evitable goal Of the present-day folly
OF pleasure chasing.
Mrs. Bradford's startling statements
we're made at a regional conference
of educators at the State capitol here,
presided over BY T.. l.. Claxton. the
United states commissioner Of Edu-
cation. Delegates were ia attendance
from Wyoming. New Mexico and COL
orado.
Unless there IS an abandonment Of
the folly OF pleasure hunting and a
revival Of learning what kind Of hui
man will we have in another gener-
ation?" Mrs. Bradford asked.
Right now we are spending four
times as much for chewing gum IN
the United states as We are for edu-
cational purposes.
we are spending seven times as
much for tobacco a. for education
and fifteen times as much for sodas and
soft drinks as for the incubation Of
learning.
TURN AWAY FROM BOOKS.
Before the day Of tho movies. the
automobiles and the other extensive
diversions OF to-day. the boys and
girls turned to books for amusement.
They became well read and acquired
learning
But now they follow the line o.
least resistance. The boys and girls
of this age feel abused II they are not
allowed to attend movies three times
a week. They like to 3oyr.de They
like TO be specded around from dance
TO dance. from one social function to
another. from one theatre TO another
There il only one thing that can
save us. The parents must awaken.
They must realize their responsibility
The problem of education has ceased
to be one for professional educators
alone; they arc doing all they can.
but the parents must cooperate"
IN support OF her claim that illite-
racy is bound to grow unless there IS
instilled into the younger generation
a desire for knowledge 10 replace the
mad pursuit for pleasure. Mrs. Brad
ford declared that 20 per cent Of the
boys drafted into the army Of Uncle
Sam were unable to read and write.
while so per cent. had progressed no
farther than the fifth grade in their
schooling.

Not First Woman Delegate.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In your issue of Saturday, under
the date Cleveland, Ohio. January 80,
is printed an article headed First
Wpman Political Delegate Prophe-
sizes" I should like to call you atten-
ton to the fact that in the convention
of 1912 there were several woman
delegates. California sent several,
and, If my memory has not failed,
Colorado also had woman delegates.
In the naming of delegates to the
convention of 1920. / think South Da-
kota holds the palm for appointing
the first woman. South Dakota ratified
the federal amendment December 4.
1919. The day after this the state
central committee met and elected
Mrs. John Pyle, presidential elector.
and DIR. Helen Peabody, delegate to
the national convention. To South Da-
kota, therefore, belongs the credit of
first giving woman an official place in
the 1920 republican convention.
AS this is prior to the appointment
of Mrs. A. b. Pike of Lakewood, whom
your dispatch enormously credits as
to national convention" I should be
glad to have you correct the state
ment.
Republican women are and have
been active in politics for a long time,
and have been given official recogni-
| ton by the party long before the
democrats would concede it.

Mr.. Hines, Labor Leaders

Discuss Demands.

Director General Hines and officials
Of the railroad administration went
into the second of a. series of confer
ences with railroad labor leaders and
brotherhood chiefs at 2:15 o'clock this
afternoon. While no details concern
ing yesterdays conference were given
out at the Railroad Administration, it
was expected that the director gen.
eral would continue reading of a
statement on the general situation
left uncompleted when the conference
adjourned last night.
No prediction could be made today
when the conferences would end. nor
would officials predict the ultimate
end of the negotiations, brought about
by the railroad labor leaders in the
hope of securing speedy action on
wage demands they have been press
ing since last August.
Last Nights Session.
Discussion Of the demands of the
union representatives with officials of
the railroad administration had yield
ed no tangible results when the first
session of the conference adjourned
last night. Although neither Director
General Hines nor the labor leaders
would make a public statement con-
cerning the negotiations, it was un-

The proposals of Director General
Hines had not been presented in their
entirety when the meeting broke up
The policy of hearing arguments from
all union heads as each particular
statement of the governments case
was laid before the conference was
adopted.
All the demands, some Of which are
expected to be Withdrawn and others
compromised, will be threshed over
before the conference ends. The
union leaders were expected to spend
much of today discussing among
themselves their future policies. AS
it appeared today the various organ
ization officials were not together on
the questions considered
Changes have been made in some of
the demands since last July, when
they were laid before the President
who asked delay pending efforts of
the government to reduce living costs
Most of the union officials have felt
that hardly any progress has been
made in reducing the cost of living

Candidate for Presidential Nomina.
tion Heard at Press Club.

Repeal of obstructive legislation

for the republican presidential nomi-

Club.
You can't have business success"
Senator Harding asserted, while
dancing to government jazz or
while struggling under needless taxa
tion. And you can't have it succeed
when shackled under war control or
fifty-seven varieties of regulatory
commissions. America needs un-
shackling.
"The trouble with the world to-
day." he added, "is the popularity of
requirement through seizure by force
of the more orderly processes of
legislation. We have been witness
ing a type of class promotion, which
ought to be abhorrent to thinking
America"
A large crowd was present to hear
the Ohio candidate make his first
address in Washington since accept
ing the candidacy, and on several
occasions he won applause from his
auditors for the ring of Americanism
in his speech.
