Autos Will Race to Pixies Peak
September

Colorado Springs, Nay 12.-The
automobile races on Pixies Peak for
prizes aggraegating $4,1OO will be
held September this year, it has
been officially announced. Included
IN the prizes is the $4,000 Penrose
cup, donated by Spencer Penrose.
Colorado millionaire. The cup is of
silver and gold and is 43 inches high.
Cash prizes in addition total S2.1OO,
The races this year will be over the
same course as those of last-from
Crystal Greek bridge to the summit
OF the peak, about twelve miles. The
events will be held under the rules of
the American Automobile Associa-
ton. Entries must be made not
later than August. 8.
AT the same time of the Pixies
Peak races the Colorado Sports earn
ival will be staged here. Some of the
events are airplane races to Denver,
after the ships have circled Pixies
Peak, and polo tournament. Crack
teams from Chicago, Kansas City,
Wichita Falls, Tex, and other cities
will compete in the latter.

able for the old engine so that can
also run much more economically.
Hays needs this new machinery and
needs it bad and it remains for the
people of the City to say whether it
shall be purchased. One per cent of
the entire valuation of the City of
Hays would pay for it in cash. On
2O-year serial bond issue the tax levy
would scarcely be noticeable. In
fact, according to the present system
of charging so much of the plants
earnings to depreciation, the bonds
can be taken up without making tax
levy for this at all.
Hays has come to a point where
the city water and electric light are
an absolute necessity and we cannot
afford to wait until we break down
and then have to take what we can
get in the way of equipment. 1t Will
be from three to four months before
all this machinery is delierevd so 1t
can be seen that it takes some time
to get everything completed.

PUBLIC HEALTH NOTES
Scarlet Fever


Scarlet feevr is one of the very
contagious diseases. 1t is easy to
catch but not easy to cure. Don't
make the mistake of allowing all your
children to get it when one has it, on
the theory that it is better to have it
al over with at one time. Children
are not the only ones attacked, as
persons of all ages may contract it.
IN most cases, but not all, a person
who has once had it does not get it
again.
How to Recognize Scarlet Fever
The child may have scarlet fever
f it shows these symptoms: If it is
tired, restless and out of sorts.
Usually there is either a chill, vomit-
ing or commissions. Any or all of these
symptoms may be present. The
child develops a high fever, with skin
dry and very hot. The tongue is
furred and under this white covering
is red and swollen. Frequently
the child complains of sore throat.
IN ordinary cases these early signs
are followed by rash and fever.
Care of the Patient
The patient must receive medical
treatment and careful nursing during
the entire illness. Without these,
grave chances are being taken with
the sick persons life and future
health. as disorders of the heart, kid
mes and ears may set in. Careful
nursing is particularly necessary after
the skin has peeled and the patient
begins to recover. The doctors in
structions as to diet, clothing, and
other precautions must be followed
to the letter.
How to Prevent Its Spread
Whenever the first symptoms are
noticed the child should at once be
kept away from other people and the
doctor should be called at once.
Place the child in a room by itself if
at all possible. The person who takes
care of the patient must change her
ing the sick room. This can easily be
done by using a separate loose gown
or kimOna for this purpose. The
hands and face must be washed with
antiseptic soap and water when leav-
ing the sick room.
All the saliva and discharge from
the patients nose, mouth and throat
are infectious and should be received
into pieces of cotton gauze or old
linen and carefully burned. The per-
son i'll must have his own eating
utensils. These dishes and all cloth
ing worn by the patient must be dis
infected and MUST NOT be washed
with dishes and clothing worn by the
other members of the family.
Children that have scarlet fever
must not return to school before a
period of six weeks has passed. In
no case should children who have had
scarlet fever and whose skin is peel
ing be permitted to enter the school
room or mingle with other children.
Great ,pread of the disease and many
deaths are the result of lax observ-
ance of this rule. To keep your own
children we'll you must keep others
well.

New Equipment for Hays Power
Plant

New Equipment for Hays Power
Plant
The new equipment for the Hays
power plant for which the citizens
of Hays will vote on the 26th of this
month will all be of the very best
material, it is possible to get and will
be all standard manufacture.
All che specifications and blue
prints for the machinery have been
completed and are on file at the City
Managers Office where they may be
inspected The new engine and
dynamo will be twice the capacity of
the present big engine and will be
thoroughly reliable and substantial in
every way. This will be put in place
of the small engine now at the plant
and the small one sold.
The estimate for the new material
is practically as follows:
l Corliss 2-cylinder COM
pound engine, will be of
375 to 400 horse power
capacity S14, 900
l Generator with exeter on
same shaft with engine,
312 XIV size at $50 rpm 1000
Freight on this equipment $50
Concrete for foundations 1900
Condenser with pumps
and motors $500
Superheaters for lrage
boilers 5000
Spray pond for cooling
water for condenser 1900
Piping for superheated
and exhaust steam and
large valves 900
Understanding equipment $500
Freight on-auxilliary
equipment 600
Labor $500
Addition to building 1000
Contingencies $50
Total $4,000
The above estimate is fairly liberal
and competition will be fairly keen,
so that we ought to be able to save
some money especially as this work
will not be let to a contractor but viii
all be done by local help. There viii
also be no commission to pay to con-
sulting engineers.
The condenser, superheaters and
other auxilliaries are being put in for
the purpose of saving fuel. 1t Is esti-
mated that enough fuel can be saved
in fourteen months to pay for all
extra equipment except the engine
and dynamo. This viii also be avail
