disqualification is now the first
thought for the sick, partly for profes-
sional, chiefly for economic reasons.
We would have the laity taught to SEQ
the future hospital as socioligic in
stitution, a place Of refuge accessible
to the well for prophylactic advice and
to the sick for their unrestricted use,
instead Of retreat accessible only to
those able to pay, operated primarily
for pri4it, and not available to all.
"The multiplying offspring Of those
who mature in body but not in mind,
and so are always children mentally,
are making themselves felt in bulk as
unstable young women, governed only
by thought Of sex attraction, creatures
of a day, to perish through exposure;
and in the criminal acts Of youth,
committed by boys incapable Of earn
ing living by approved methods.
These constitute the menace Of the
Mailman in every community.
"Their reproduction is unrestricted,
and they are purveyors Of disease.
While in contrast, those higher in the
social scale limit births and struggle
for health.
"There are no rights Of parenthood

right Of the child to be well born.

and the inevitable loss Of respect for
our individual rights, our traditions

RAINFALL OVER WORLD
GIVES STARTLING DATA

While eastern Colorado is experience
ing the most severe and horrible floods
ever recorded in the state, people are
greatly interested everywhere in the
cause of this situation and in the com
parative rainfall causing the foods
with that Of other parts Of the world.
Through the courtesy Of the weather
bureau in Grand Junction the follow
ing interesting data on worlds recorm
for rainfall is given: The greatest pre-
cipitation for single 24-hour period
was in Bag,,io, Philippine Islands, on
June IS, 1915, when 45.ss inches Of
rain fell during the day, making nearly
-four feet. Cherapunji, India, comes
second with 1880 inches, and Laupe-
hoehoe, Hawaii, third, with 4o.3o. In
the United States, Alta Pass, South
Carolina, holds first place with 222s
inches during the day of July Is,
1915, and Alexandria, La, second,
with 21.40 inches on the same day.
Porto Bello, Panama, holds the rec
ord for rainfall in a five-minute period,
having 2.4s inches during that time on
May l, 1908. After this was measured
test was made of the measuring ma
chine by pouring water into it from
bucket, as fast as possible, and it was
found that the water could not be
poured into the pan as fast as it had
fallen from the clouds, causing the
government for several weeks to ques-
ton the accuracy of the gauge, but it
finally was officially recognized as be
ing correct. Fort Mcpherson, Neb.,
holds the United States record for q
single fve-minute period in the United
States, with 1.5O inches on May ~,
1868.
Palmetto, New, enjoys the honor of
having the highest single hour rain
fall on record in the world, this being
$50 inches on August Z, 1890.
Those understanding the meaning Of
these figures will appreciate the ire
mendous foods occasioned by the
cloudburst at Pueblo on June 2 of 10
inches of rain, Ito inches on June 3
and 292 inches on June 4, with a total
to O'Clock Saturday morning of 4.s4
inches, and all this on top of heavy
snow in the mountains, thus carrying
additional floods down the streams.

RIO GRANDE BUILDER
DIES IN ENGLAND.

COLORADO SPRINGS, June T.
DR.. VIM. A. Bell, who, with Gen. VIM.
J. Palmer, built the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, died Monday at the
age of 80 years at his home in Eng,
land. The funeral will be held there
next Saturday. His son, W. A. j.
Bell, of Denver, and Mrs. Bell will
leave for England Immediately to be
with DIR. Bell Is wife, who survives
him. Dr. Bells death was due to an
gina pectoris, and he was in good
health until a short time before he
died. He was born in Clanmell, Coun-
ty Tipperary, August 26, 1871. He
took his degree of medicine at the
University of Cambridge. Dr.. Bell
came to Colorado for the first time in
connection with the Kansas Pacific sur
vey of 1867. With General Palmer,
Col. d. @. Dodge and other associates,
he was interested in the founding Of
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
system, of which company he was vice
president for many years. He was also
one Of the founders of the Colorado
Goal & Iron company, in 1879, which
later became the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company.

DANISH ARTIST
DELIGHTS WAcoITES.

The Danish violnist Axel Skovgaard,
who appeared Tuesday night in Car
roll chapel before full house, three
parts from the Baylor neighborhood,
and two parts musicians or music low
ers from Waco at large, held the rapt
attention of his audience during his
brief and well-rendered concert pro-
gram. He was accompanied at the
piano by his wife, Alice McClung
whose excellence as pi-
anist equals that which her husband
has attained on the master instru-
ment.
The great Dane began with the
Sonata in L minor, by Emil Sjogren,
and the number won an appreciation
best gagged by the Silly silence pre-
vailng during its rendition. The $50
ond group of solos by Axel Skovgaard
included those lighter numbers which
find such a ready response in the hearts
of the public. He played Nobody
Knows the Trouble I've Seem" the ne
gro hymn, with a subtle, plaintive ap
peal. The lie Polele, the Armenian
folk dance, in which the bow is not
used, relaxed the emotions Of the au-
dience, and brought a ripple of laugh
ter for its very lightnoss. Rikuardon,
the old English tune, calls up the fra
GRANGE of an old FASH oned garden in
the sweetness of it's tones and the lyric
beauty of its low, clear notes.
The violinist ended his program with
arrangements of classical compositions
by Fritz Kreisler, favorite excerpts
from opera, by Otto Langley, and, last,
one of Axel Skovgaard s own compo-
sition, light and spirited "Danse
Espagnole."
Both piano solos, the Jeux D'Eau
and the paraphrase on Tchaikovsky
Flower Waltz were well received.
The simplicity and sincerity of Ma
dame Skovgaard's manner, and her
lack of affectation were part of her
charm of pcrsonlty which the audi
ence was quick to appreciate.-Waeo

HOW TO MAKE PICTURES
WHICH ARE WORTH MAKING

In more than 80 years experience as
a professional photographer have
made every mistake that is possible
for an amateur or professional pho
togfapher to make. Consequently, 1
do not gaze with an air Of superiority
at pictures my friends have taken,
which they invariably show me when
I 60 visiting. 1 have made every blum
der they have made, and more; have
spoiled many more films than they; I
realize that they take pictures for the
pleasure Of having those almost living
records Of hnsfolks, friends, familiar
and strange places. They cannot af-
ford the time or the worry over tech
nical details Of photography. That
would take much Of the fun out Of
camering" for pleasure. So 1 here,
and subsequently, shall set down some
plain rules on how to get good pic
lures, although an amateur, almost al
ways.
To get good pictures clean both
sides of the lens Of your camera fire.
quently. Blowing your breath on the
lens and rubbing with a soft linen
! handkerchief is good way. Do not
moisten lens with your tongue or use
acids. There may be a flm Of dirt
on the lens invisible to the naked eye
but sufficient to make your pictures
fiat and without brilliancy.
When making snapshots hold the
camera firmly against your chest and
hold your breath. Do not try to make
time exposure while holding the
camera in your hands. You cannot
possibly held it still enough. If you
have no tripod, place the camera on a
chair, table, box, post or stump, or
hold it against tree or anything that
is rigid.
Do not try to make snapshot in
the shade or in the woods. You will
get only the sunlit spots; make time
exposure, first reducing the lens stop
or opening. Make the exposure for the
shadows. The high spots will take care
of themselves.
To get pictures with charm, do not
try to get the principal object right
in the center of the picture; get it to
one de of he center. and consider the
back ground as something to add bean
tv to the picture. Do not have the
persons whose pictures you are taking
look directly toward the sun. Place
them at any angle you may choose,
Just so the sun does not strike your
lens; if it does, your picture is gone.
When taking a picture of two per-
sons, do not have them look at you
or the camera, but let them look at
some point of common interest and ap-
pear as though they were not posing.
| Be a little stingy with your films.
Every snapshot costs a little money;
no use throwing it away. Be sure you
desire the picture and then pay lit
tie attention to the way the groups
of objects will appear in the picture.
There are frst-class pictures in almost
every camera, if only you have the
patience to get them out.
