TOURIST TRAFFIC TO
BREAK ALL RECORDS

Denver. "Unprecedented tourist
travel the coming summer throughout
the Rocky mountain region and es-
peclally in Colorado may be conf.
IDENTIFY looked for" declared Archibald
Fries, vice president Of the Baltimore
4 Ohio railroad, In charge Of traffic
and commercial development depart
ments, who Is making a nationwide
tour for the purpose Of investigating
general business conditions and visit
ing agencies not properly on the rail-
road itself, and who was in Denver
the other day.
Mr.. Fries said that the American
public was coming to realize the value
Of Rocky mountain Fairgrounds as
never before, and that the tourist
bureaus, railroads and the like which
were responsible for this education Of
the public were greatly to be praised
Railroads are rapidly overcoming
the car shortage which SO embarrassed
the Colorado farmer last year, he said,
more capital being expended for
locomotives and other rolling stock
than in any previous year of railroad
history. Mr.. Fries predicted that by
June / the Baltimore & Ohio will be
in as good position for handling Its
share OF the nations traffic as at any
time In Its history.

BUSINESS MEN LIKE OTHERS
Somewhat Prevalent Error Is in Con
sidering Them to Be Something
Of Race Apart.

Orators and literary folk Of u GER
tain widespread school seem to mag
Inc that business men are all alike;
that Is, dishonest and prosperous
from rubblng the poor. The truth is
many business men are themselves
poor. Many Of them fail because Of
unreliability. idleness, extravaganza,
lack of intelligence.
business men are like any other
class Of men, some of them cnpable,
reliable, Industrious and successful,
and some Of them the reverse.
Thousands Of proletnrlans are in busI.
ness, as thousands of our best men
are working for wages and in training
TO occupy the big positions and en-
Joy the big incomes. In any group Of
business men, most of them do not
amount to much, as Is the case IN any
other group. The rich were robbed
In Russia because they were aristo-
Gratis by birth. 1t cannot he done in
the United States because here the
well-tQ-do come up from the ranks
and are the best fighters ms well no
the best money makers.-From +. w.

HOW PHONE SYSTEM BEGAN
There Were Only Eight Subscribers
and the Switchboard Was by
Way Of a Joke.

One switchboard. with capacity Of
eight subscribers statlons-that was
the beginning Of telephone service, the
first step toward the commercial de.
velopment Of the late Alexander Ora
ham Bells now famous invention. A
crude switchboard had been used In
Boston In 1877. but only for expert
mental and demonstration purposes.
Its chief function was to convince the
people Of Boston and casual visitors
of the utility Of the telephone and Of
Its future possibilities, says Telephone
Press Service.
The ancestor Of the modern CONNER.
cinl telephone switchboard was In.
stalled In New Haven. Conn.,, In 1873.
From Its eight lines has been evolved
the network Of wires and cables which
covers the country from coast to coast.
From single switchboard the nun.
her Of central Offices within n city has
increased to over 100. From less than
dozen subscribers stations, the total
within the limits Of single city has
mounted In several cases to over 1O0,.
coo and In one case to over 10000.
Under one roof as many as 10000 lines
are switched and central offices are
now planned with a capacity OF more
than double that number.

Texas Women Praised For Planting
 Plans

NEW ORLEANS. March 26.-In a letter read before the Old Spanish Trails convention here, Mrs. J. C.. Myrick of Hal .ngen, Tex, represent ing the Rio Grande Valley federation of Womens clubs, recited the con- gratulations C the American Tree association of Washington to the women of Texas on road side tree planting plans. Mrs. Myrick spoke before the womens parliament on "Highmay Identification" The let ter from Charles Lathrop Pack fol- lows:
 My dear Mrs Myrick:
 aPlease convey our heartiest con &ratulations to thes federated wom- en for the good work they plan in making the Old Spanish Trail a mag nififcent road of remembrance.
 The American Tree association Is calling upon the people to celebrate the centennial of Arbor day in 1872 fifty years before 1t happens by pIanting the trees now. The re- eponse to this has been remarkable Particularly on the part of members ef the Federation of Womens clubs Throughout the country.
 Z At York, Pa., the York county fed sration has planted 20 miles of the Linooln highway. Similar planting has been done at South Bend, Ind, and at Canton, Ohio, where the hlghs way passes close by the tomb of William Mckinley. In San Joaquin lounty, California, stretch of the Eincoln highway in that county has Been planted.
 The women of the federated clubs Have been quick to see what wonder ful memorials they are erecting in planting the trees now. In many states the roadside tree planting has been taken up in very fine way. In Minnesota for example thirty thousand trees year are being planted along the roadside. Califor tna has planted nearly four hundred miles of her highways. Planting has been done in the state of Michigan. The state of Indiana is now taking up the campaign.
 The American Tree association will send any individual tree planter or club tree planting instruction and a tree day program for the asking and We would like indeed to see big Registration of tree planters from the Rio Grande Valley and in fact from every part of the country. Very Sincerely yours,
 : CHARLES LATHROP PACK. President. : Mrs. Myrick told of tho road build- ing plans in some of the counties and how the women planned to beau tify these highways during the next tree planting season. Big tree plant iny, plans are underway in many states for Garden Week, April 22.

Your Home and You
By HELEN KENDALL THE VOGUE OF UNBLEACHED
 MISIJN
By HELEN KENDALL

Strange are the. ways of custom style, and the interior decorator! Not so many years ago there was nc more despised, prosaic, 'or'nary material in the country than un- bleached muslin. Today it is one of room hangings, coverlets. cushions porch and sunroom use, dining room curtains and runners, lunch cloths bridge table covers, aprons, and even summer frocks!
 One reason for this vogue of un- creamy tone, which Is so attractive background for appliqued motifs in soft shades of blue, sage green, old gold and lavender. Another req = son is the fact that it is specially receptive of dye, and takes" the color in sort of smooth uneven ness. which gives the fabric a very interesting surface.
 Unbleached sheeting forms the basis for the many lovely coverlets used for the summer bedroom. It comes in all widths, and can be either fitted with a valance or edged with creamy cotton fringe which The design may be stencilled on the fabric, or merely drawn on, if .the housewife is handy with her pencil. Patterns in delicate flower motifs hollyhOcks, corn flowers, morning glories, or ones favorite posy-are alliqued on its bits of imported ging- ham, cotton poplin or chambray. If the edges are buttonholed in a soft contrasting color, the beauty of the design is enhanced. One cover1et seen recently was bound all around the edge with deep yellow linen, and a large yellow tassel hung at each corner. The "candlewick" spreads so popular just now have the design worked out in tufts of cotton, drawn through to the surface and cut off closely.
 Of course the over-curtains, dress CT runner. chiffonier scarf and chair cushions are decorated to match. A very pretty design that Is less pro- nounced than tho appliqued process is an outline stitch in heavy cotton, in very clear. bright colors. In the

"One Trick q Day"

When you have inflated a paper bag by blowing into 1t. and exploded 1t by mashing 1t against the palm Of one hand, no doubt you have given little thought to the vast amount of force there is In your breath.
 Take a bag made of stiff paper. rather narrow and long, and place 1t flat on the edge of table. The opening, of course. should be turned toward you, and several heavy books placed on top of it.
 Blow out the bag, and you will be surprise at tha weight you will be able to raise in this manner. The feat of raising two or three large heavy volumes will >be but a trif1ing efort.
