OF OUR CONTEST
IS UNAVOIDABLE
Inability to Obtain Services of

Market Causes Us to Give Up

Owing to the inability of the
Siftings-News to obtain sufficient
help, to obtain print paper and to
do the extra work that contest of
this kind requires, it has been
decided to postpone the Siftings-
News Salesmanship Club contest
until a later date. With the pri-
mary election at hand and the
coming presidential. election and
the starting of the new semi
weekly, the Siftings-News finds
that they are unable at this time
to conduct all, and the first thing
with newspaper is "news while it
is news" and it has been decided
that it is better to postpone the
contest to a later date, when
everyone has more time and when
the office can give it more consid-
alton. Mr.. Amerman, the cam
paign manager, has been unable to
get assistance to help conduct the
contest as it should be.
When the contest was first con.
sssyfsseo, Esl.ynad oeeni prohisec
bit since have not found it avail

for the postponement of the cam
paign.
Everybody knows the print
paper situation and should not be
surprised when they are told that
it is impossible at this time to
buy it on the market today. The
labor situation is the same-there
are plenty of printers in the coun-
try but it is>impossible to get one
The Siftings- News regrets that
they are unable to carry this thru
because it would be good thing
for the community and for the

STANDARD tests in arithmetic are
being given in all the grades to de-
termine the proficiency of each

The exact type of difficulty for
each will be discovered and suita-

After the tests in arithmetic have
been given the children will be
ex amined in reading, spelling,

One of Wreck Victims

In the tragic death of Col. r. S.
Morrison. which occurred in the
Interurban wreck few days since,
Colorado lost one of the few re-
great lawyers of it's early
history.

our mining laws and its greatest
expounder. He was an author of
national repute ON mining law.
He came to Georgetown in 1871
and was identified with some of
the most famous cases involving
mining law that have been before
the courts.

Charles Nicholas of Georgetown was designat-

from Clear Creek county, but could not accept.
The friends of Charles L. Jaynes have pre-
vailed on him to make the race for the Republican
nomination, but he consented too late to have his
name printed on the primary election ballot and
as result the voters will have to write his name
in the blank space provided for that purpose. But
a cross must be made in the square to the right of
the name after it is written-thus

STEPHENS FAMILY
HAS CLOSE CALL
Will Never Forget Scenes of In
terurban Wreckaee on Labor
Day; Escape With Only Slight
Bruises and Cuts; Mrs. Ste
phens Loses Purse and Watch.

1t was almost miracle that the
entire family of W. H. Stephens
escaped with only few injuries
in the late Interurban collision,
and altho they had some expert
ences that they will never forget,
they and their numerous friends
feel extremely grateful that they
are alive today.
Mr.. Stephens has been disabled
enough to keep him from his work
on account Of bruise on the
back, which he had not realized ne
had during the first of the excite
ment, and assisted in carrying out
dozens of the injured from the
wreck. He is expected home Sat
urday evening.
Mrs. Stephens received more
bruises and discomfort, perhaps,
than the other members of the
family, having a lacerated back,
lower limb, and bruises on the
neck and shoulders. While pinned
under the seat herself, she helped
to extricate a woman from near
by, who afterwards died, and also
the woman's baby, which was taken
out alive and we'll.
Miss Leona, when first seen after
the wreck, was climbing out of a
pool of oil which had been made
by the 5ursted motor tank. Her
entire clothing was saturated, and
a new supply had to be purchased
before she was presentable. She
was practically unhurt.
Melvin received several bruises
and scratches on the face when
he jumped or was thrown (he
doesn't know which) out of the
window, which was open. That
was plenty for him.
Until help came, there were only
the four in the Stephens family in
the coach they were in who were
able to assist with the injured.
When they reached Louisville some
people got off the car and Mr..
Stephens and Melvin took their
seats, which was only about five
minutes before the crash, and had
they remained where they were
before they would have been in the
thickest of the wreckage and per-
haps killed.
Mrs. Stephens lost her purse,
which contained quite a little
money, gold watch which was
especially valued as a keepsake,
and numerous other contents, be-
sides their hats and all loose par
cells. They received medical at
tention at the home of friends as
soon as they reached Denver.

NEW FLUID MAY !,
PROVE OF GREAT
ECONOMIC VALUE
American Chemists Produce Substi-
tute For Coal and Fuel Oils
Says Report

ST. LOUIS, April lit was an
nounced at the closing session of
the American Chemical Society that
a new fluid had been discovered
that possesses greater heat value
than coal or the present fuel oils.
1t is asserted that it viii provef ex-
ceptionally valuable in navigation.
The fluid is made from coal waste
and cheap tars, it is said.
The American Chemical Society
has been in session for six days, and
1900 chemists have been in attend
ance, representing manufacturing,
and agricultural pursuits.t Among
the things considered haveF been how
to increase production, save by
products and lower the cost of liv-
ing.
Among the subjects familiar to the
laymen which were analysed by
these scientific explorers was re-
port of experiments showing the nu-
tritive value of the peanut; the use
of Tactic acid from sour milk in non
intoxicating beverages as an appe-
tier and digestive substitute for al
coholic drinks. quicker and cheaper
methods of manufacturing sugar
and the establishment of stand
ards of sweetness by the use of a
new device known as a .'sacchari-
meter" utilization of corncobs for
obtaining new dyes. equal to those
from coal tar; improved formulate and
methods of handling rubber for au-
tomobile tires.
1T is stated that the call from
manufacturers for the services of
chemists in industry has so greatly
increased since beginning of the war
that, although the membership of
the Chemical Society has grown to
$4,000, there are still not enough
chemists to. meet the demand.
