A curiously addressed letter passed
through the post Office at Madrid,
which was deciphered and correctly

The address was perfect rebus. AT
the left hand side was the figure OF
lady; II was clear. therefore, to which
sex the recipient should belong. Over
the lady's head the sun was rising;
hence her name was inferred to be
Aurora. For her surname stood hill.

Next comes the town, for which the
plan of city was drawn, on which the
Alhambra was legible. This Indicated
Granada; but In order to leave no
doubt possible. a pomegranate was
drawn beside the plan. To complete
the address number was indicated In
one Of the streets of the city plan.
The postal authorities took three
days to study this curiosity and then
triumphantly delivered the letter to
"Senorita Aurora Monies y CASTILLO.

from censuring the sender. they had
the envelope photographed and copy

Youth and AGE.

Nobody. so far. has found a real
substitute for youth. although some
surgical experiments are asserted to
have been successful In restoring
vitality and youthful spirits. Youth.
after all, Is a state of mind as well as
O span of years. Men and women are
not old at sixty; they are not old at
seventy, and when eighty Is reached
many Of them refuse to be shelved.
Ones outlook upon life is likely to
determine whether one Is to continue
real living or go to seed. Years ago
men retired at forty or fifty and we're
not worth much TO their communities
after that. Now a man stays In the
harness, alternating work and play.
SO, In reality, he never grows old In
spirit, regardless Of an accumulation
of many years when birthdays come.
Old age is something Of habit. II is
easy enough to acquire II one seeks
1t, but II youth Is desired one may
have it. and forget about the birth

ACCORDING TO FIXED DESIGN
Variety of Reasons Advanced for the
Arrangement of Paint on the
Cheeks of Clown.

All pantomime, clowns paint their
cheeks and mostly they do so accord
ing to certain designs handed down
from generation to generation. But
as to the why and the wherefore opln-
ions differ.
According to one authority the scar
let triangles, red fishtail and half
moon, originated from dabs of YER
million placed here and there on the
cheeks at haphazard to represent
naughty boy who had been at the jam
pot.
Another says that the pantomime
clowns Redeemed face is intended as
burlesque of the rouge-tinted cheeks
of the pantOmlme COlumblne; while
yet a third has it that the crimson
patches are a survival from the early
mystery plays, when the clown was
demon, and red all over.
The theory has also been held that
the modern clown in pantomime is
direct descendant of Menus, the god
of mockery Of the early mystery plays
and Mosques, who was always repre-
sented with huge gaping mouth. The
red fishtail Is merely the survival of
that part Of the medieval makeup
which aimed at producing an appar-
ent enlargement of the mouth.
These curious scarlet symbols are
only found on the cheeks Of panto-
mime clowns. The ordinary circus
clown does not paint. his cheeks.
He paints only his nose, with view
to poking fun at the boss" the ring
master, whose nasal organ, in regard
to the old-time circuses at all events,
was more often than not apt to be
highly colored.-Pearson's Weekly.

AUDUBON TEAM DEFEATED
Game Close and Extra Five Minutes
Of Play Required to Determine
the Victors.

The basket ball team OF the A. II.
s. went to Casey last Friday after
noon for a game with the Casey
team, and were defeated by score
OF Ito 10. At the end Of the sec
ond half, the score was evenly d.
vided between the two teams. 1t
was therefore necessary for an extra
five minutes play to determine the
victors. The Casey team won by a
long field goal, which gave them
two additional points.
Both teams played good basket
ball and the men were quite evenly
matched. The game was well at
tended and there was much enthusi-
asm.
The lineup was as follows: Au-
dubon-Leach, II; Cramer, IF; VIM.
Shupe, C; A. Shupe, lg; Nelson, rg;
substitutes, Kruse, Jensen and Mix

this House and Senate will adjourn,
and the only way that Code revision
can be completed then will be by
way of a special session that will
take along we'll into the summer.
Auto Funds tStay in Counties
The third qiick-action resolution
presented came from Senator Hol-
doegel of Calhoun county, and pro-
vides that the present law requiring
all county treasurers to remit auto
mobile license funds collected by
them, to the state treasurer by Jan.
18th, shall be amended to extend
the date for making such remittance
to April IS, 1921. In the meantime
permanent legislation covering this
matter will come up and the chances
are that hereafter all automobile
license and penalties will be retain
ed in, the counties where collected,
except such funds as go to the state
highway commission.
Another emergency measure was
offered in the Senate Wednesday
by Senator Holdoegel, authorizing
school corporations to issue funding
bonds to take up legal Indebtedness
not in excess of per cent of the
assessed valuation of the school dis
tricts. It is hoped in this way many
school districts of the state may
provide funds for carrying on their
schools and thereby save suspension
OF many schools for want of money
Senator Newberry, of Clayton
county, chairman of the committee
on schools in past sessions, favors
also the raising of the interest rate
permitted for such bonds. He be-
lieves that the competition for bonds
will bring to the districts enough
premium for them to cut down the
interest rate to the lowest point pos
sible, but will automatically provide
a market for the bonds in times OF
stress.
For An Industrial Court
The much heralded industrial
court" measure by Representative
DIR. Kline of FIT. Dodge came on the
scenes of real action Wednesday. It
is the measure which Gov. Harding
took a crack at in his message Tues
day when he said that there are al
ready existing courts to take care Of
all disputes and legal tangles in this
state without resorting to fads and
experiments. The Kline measure
proposes to enact in Iowa the Kan
sas law requiring that labor disputes
be submitted 20 a special industrial
court, and prohibiting strikes and
lockouts on either the part of en-
ployes or employers. There will be
an interesting contest on this bill,
as labor organizations are strongly
opposed to 1t and will fight it to a
finish.
Real Work Now Starts
After adjournment last Thursday
to Tuesday of this week, both House
and Senate will get down to bust
ness, looking to speed and hard
work in every way in order to meet
the desire for early adjournment
and a special session for Code re-
vision.

ESSEX BUILDS NEW
TYPE CLOSED CAR

An enclosed car that Is In many
ways distinct from any body type
yet produced is announced by the
builders of the Essex. 1t is called
THE Coach"
There are many points in this
new Essex that will appeal, but II
the prospective purchaser proba-
bly, the most significant, and one
that is thoroughly in keeping with
the spirit of the times, is the price,
for the Essex Coach sells for but
a little more than cars Of the open
type.
At the show room of the Lauder
baugh Motor company, where the
Coach is being shown for the first
time in Albuquerque, one can UNI
derstand Just why this new closed
car will attract attention. Aside
from its price 1t is really different.
ut marks" says Mr.. Lauder
baugh, "a new step forward in
automobile body construction. The
factory has produced a real quail
ty enclosed car by a new recipe"
Particular emphasis is placed on
the way the Essex Coach has been
built. One is attracted by it's
sturdiness. The lines are differ
ent, of course, than any preceding
car of its type, but nevertheless
they are pleasing to the eye.
The Coach has seating capacity
for five, and wide doors are held
solid by four hinges. There is
dash control ventilator, a sun visor,
and a wind and rainproof wind
shield. The upholstery and floor
rugs are of a fine texture of long
wearing material, and the seats are
low and deep cushioned.
Radiator shutters and motom-
eter give efficient motor control.
Cord tires are standard.
The Coach is mounted on the
new and improved Essex chassis
