ADVENTURERS ARE
 AGAIN IN TROUBLE
British Globe Trotters Run Afoul
 of US. Dry Laws

Los Angeles, Sept. 13.-Double mis- fortune has befallen the group of ss British gentlemen adventures who arrived at Los Angeles harbor recent .ly, on pathfinding voyage in the in- terest of an airplane flight around the world planned for next year. by Cap tains Norman McMillan and c. H. Malines of the royal air force.
 The first came yesterday when fed eral officers searched their vessel, the Frontiersman, announced they had found aboard 65 gallons of whiskey and promptly attached the liquor and the boat.
 The second misfortune came when deputy U. s. marshal served notice on the commander of the Frontiers man, Captain Spalding, that the ves- sel was attached in behalf of the Los Angeles Ship Building and Drydock Co. for a claim of s250 said to be due for repair.
 The crew of the Frontiersman is composed entirely of members of the Adventurers club of London. who vol unteered to serve without pay for the fun of the voyage. Several now work ing as deck hands. stokers, oilers and cooks have notable World war rec ords, it is said. The crew contribnt- ed s15,000 toward the expenses of the trip, the remainder being made up by popular subscription in England.
 The vessel left London June is last but turned in at Dover because Of faulty engines and started from that port June 2s. 1t passed Madeira and Santa Luca and into the Pacific through the Panama Canal. It made a leisurely trip up the west coast with some trouble from improper fuel, and reached Los Angeles harbor August 25 since when the crew has been fet- ed and wined by many individuals and organizations in Los Angeles and sfcinity.

ORGANIZE FOR ATHLETICS

The boys in the Cardiff school

have organized what they are pleased
to designate "The Cardiff Athletic
Association.
There is at present a membership of
seven, with Pete Bershenyi as presi-
dent and John Bershenyi as secretary
treasurer, and it is certain that the
organization, if properly directed, will
prove very helpful to the boys and to
the school, by way of encouraging
them along the line of clean and help
full sports. The Post congratulates the
boys upon this small beginning toward
better conditions.

TRAIN DISPATCHERS

This mornings s Grand Junction News
is authority for the statement that
about October l the dispatchers' office
on the Denver & Rio Grande is to be
moved from Glenwood to Grand juno
tion and the latter point made the
center of all dispatching activities of
the road, so far as the Western Slope
is concerned.
While this action may result in some
benefit to the road, there is consid-
cradle doubt about that, railroad men
claiming that the plan is less practical
than the present program.
Evidently it is the policy of Re-
ceiver eBacom to economize in oper-
ating expenses wherever possible, and
this late order is perhaps made with
that end in view. The change will
not be at all popular in Glenwood, as
it will necessarily result in the re.
moval of several excellent families
from our midst.

PopuIar Form of Athletic
Training to be Encouraged
by GIenwood Schools
MANY AQUATIC SPORTS

In the last few years there has been
a general awakening to the Importance
of swimming, not only as means to
preserve life, but as an exercise of great
value. Educators have recognized this
and have undertaken to have swim
ming introduced as compulsory
course in the schools and colleges,
both for men and women.
Already there are a number of the
leading schools of higher learning
which require students to pass swim
ming tests in order to be graduated.
Among them are Yale, Princeton, Col
rmbia, Illinois, Dartmouth, Brown, Ma
val Academy, Vassar, Pennsylvania,
Exeter. Andover. These are only a
few of many that might be named.
The time is not far distant when
practically all universities and col
leges will require this athletic training.
Without question it is the most valua-
bic training in athletic sports.
Glenwood Springs public schools
took up this contest work last year
While there were no outside schools in
the first years contest, nearly one
half of the student body enrolled for
events. This wear Garfield County
High school has been assured that 9th
er high schools will contest. The Wa
ter Fete contests will begin promptly
at O'Clock Saturday afternoon. The
present indications are that there will
be AT least 100 contestants registered
for the twenty events.
The Athletic association will have
booths at the pool where soft drinks
and home made candy will be sold The
proceeds will go toward paying for the
new football suits that have been
bought for Garfield High.
Saturday afternoon should be a day
long remembered by the people of
Glenwood Springs. The pool will be
decorated with school colors and an
exciting time is promised for those in
terested in aquatic sports

Secures Department Order
That Will be Popular With
homeatead Entrymen
RELIEVES LOCAL OFFICE

During the summer of 1922 the con-
troversy between the sheep interests
of Utah and small territory in Colo
RADIO and the cattle interests of this
state came to head over the laying
out of stock driveway extending
from the Utah line to the boundaries
of the White River National forest
somewhere in the vicinity of Thorn
burg, Colorado.
1t was rumored that owing to this
controversy all designations of land in
the Glenwood Springs land district
were held up awaiting the outcome.
Whether this be the true reason or not,
the fact remains that the designations
were held up and with the exception
of couple Of minor instances no des-
ignations have been made for over a
year past.
This is the result: Many homestead
ers who made application for land un-
der either the stockraising or dry farm
acts where the designation had not
yet been made under the appropriate
act, dating as far back as two or
three years ago, and in some instances
further, could not obtain designation
and allowance. Many of them could
not wait indefinitely and withdrew
their applications. Others, becomingdis-
couraged, have drifted away and en-
tered other occupations. The land
that would have been appropriated and
by this time in some cases been car.
ried to patent, still lies idle and Just
that much further away from proper
taxation and support of school, county
and state government and institutions.
Recently this condition was called
to the attention of Senator Phipps,
and with characteristic energy he at
once took steps to get at the bottom
of the difficulty and bring a measure
Of relief to the homesteaders of the
district. As result, the following

SUGGESTIONS ON
PUBLIC HEALTH

A large proportion of the diseases oc-
curing in your county are preventa-
BILE, and health administrators can do
much toward preventing their occur
renee, but the citizens can do more.
Three things can be done to prevent
the spread of typhoid fever, and when
properly carried out, these procedures
would practically stamp out the disease:
First, pure water; second, pure milk;
third, abolition of the open privy.
Typhoid fever is primarily transmit
ted by infected water. Stream water
does not purify itself as rapidly and
rs thoroughly as is commonly sup
posed. Therefore, stream water should
never be polluted with human excre
ment. Merely because stream looks
bright and clear with sparkling water,
is no sign that the water is healthy.
A certain number of people carry the
germs of typhoid fever at all times,
and their excretions will poison the
water if they are thrown or carried or
washed into the water.
Milk should be kept clean at all
times, and should never be handled by
anyone who is not in the best of
health. Sometimes it happens that
mixers are infected with typhoid fever,
and before they are sick enough to
quit work are capable of injecting a
whole milk supply. This happened in
one of the towns of our state few
years ago, with the result that over
100 people were seriously i'll with ty-
phoid fever, and many of them died.
Proper care, and knowledge Of this sub.
ject on the part Of the milk handlers,
would have prevented this terrible
waste of human life and energy. A
safe rule is to pasteurize all milk-this
would not only destroy the typhoid
germ, but also the germs of diphtheria
scarlet fever, tuberculosis and septic
