Mrs. Brauer, to hold children's pa
rade in connection with the festival
Local motion picture theater man
ayers will be urged to make special
showing of children's pictures OF an
educational moral nature during the
week of the celebration. 1t is the aim
of the leaders of the movement, among
other things, to make the motion pic
ture safe for childhood.
The Importance of such special en-
deavors toward arousing interest in
religious education for children Is
shown, according to Pueblo Sunday
school workers, by the estimate that
gives the number of children under L.
years of age in North America who are
unreached by religious education as
10 0oo, 900. In Colorado there are 10000
such children, according to reports
Pucblo's share is estimated at loo.

Observance OF childrens week in
| Pueblo will take place between the
| dates of April II and April "a, of this
year. The setting aside of one week
| each year for devoting special efforts
to the needs of religious education for
children has been taken up in a conti-
| ncnt-widc movement by the children's .
division committee of the international
! Sunday School association. The move
| ment has for its purpose the remedy
| ing of the spiritual neglect Of child
hood.
| The Pueblo week will be held seven
DAYS earlier than the week announced
| 10y Mrs. II. r. Shaw, superintendent
of the children's division of the Colo
rado sunday School association, Den
vcr. This holding of the week ahead
of other counties in the state is due to
the fact that speakers to be secured
will be unable to be in Pueblo during
| the week of April "a to May 1.
The program for the week is two
fold; Children's week in the commun-
ity, for the purpose of stimulating a
community interest in the community
needs of children, and children's week
in the local Sunday school, for the
purpose of stimulating the church to
greater interest in the youngsters.
Pueblo will follow the general ac-
tivities outlined for the state. These
include parent mass meetings. exhibits
of Sunday school literature. visits to
homes, parades. general Sunday
school song festival, story hours, post
ers and window displays. special chill
dren's sermons in the churches. spe-
cial week night meetings. children's
parties, and special motion pictures of
interest to children in the local motion
picture theaters.
1t is hoped that the main gatherings
of the week may be held at Memorial
hall.

.%ERA SHOWS OF &C. ~ :
Why It Is Generally Necessary Tnai
Photographs of the Human Face
Be Retouched.

Why does a photographer have To
retouch his negatives before his Gus
toner is satisfied with the picture?
The eye of the camera sees things
differently from the human eye, al
though there are some lenses that so
diffuse the image that the harsh de-
tail is eliminated. These are the So
called "soft-focus" lenses, and photo
graphs made with them generally need
no extensive retouching.
1t is the difference in seeing color"
between the lens and the eye that is
largely responsible for retouching.
The rudy complexion, so suggestive
of good health, under the relentless
eye Of the camera may turn into dark
splOtches, for red photographs dark.
The penetrating blue-violet rays are
those chiefly used in photography, and
these rays furnish the delicate model
ing" of form. The surface of the skin
reflects these rays into the camera,
and all the Irregularities of the skin,
such as wrinkles, become more notice
able than when looked at with the
human eye, which sees mostly by the
red and orange, instead of the blue
violet rays caught by the eye of the
camera.-Popular Science Monthly.

Bio Irritation Pro iect.

In the state of Washington there is
under way a gigantic irrigation prof.
ect which is Unprecedented. 1t is de-
signed to serve 1,753,0O0 acres with
10000 second-feet of water at an out
lay of $30,000000. That is what has
been done by the Columbia basin sur
vey commission with a state appro-
priation of 100000 In fact the prot
ect is unprecedented as a whole as
also are some Of Its elements com
pared with irrigation works heretofore
executed, while in point of cost and
general magnitude 1t is second to but
few public work projects either car
ried out or planned. The daily ca
pacity of the main canal and other
trunk-line condults is 1,72S000,000
cubic feet, or 12,275,OOO,O0O gallons,
which is twenty-five times the carry
Ing capacity of the Catsklll aqueduct.
