OLD TIME DANDIES WORE
SILK STOCKINGS IN WINTER

When silk stockings first came into
fashion (for men) in the seventeenth
century, winter was the fashionable
season, and silk stockings were worn
by all the dandies of the day, no
matter how cold the weather.
They preferred to adorn themselves
in the latest fashion in the winter and
save their worsted stockings for coun-
try wear in the summer.
To protect themselves from the
cold, it was the custom to wear sever
al pairs Of silk stockings at one time,
and story is told Of q certain noble
man who counted the silk stockings
rs he put them on to make sure that
he had the same number on each leg,
and not nine on one and ten on the
other, for knee breeches were IN style
ut that time.

COMPLETE SURVEY MADE OF
DELTA co. SCHOOL SYSTEM

Montrose Press
An intensive survey of the schools
of Delta county has just been COM
pleted and the results will be publish
ed in the next six weeks in book form.
The survey was intended to be an in
vestigation of the relative advantages
of rural and city schools in such
points as teaching and the subjects
taught. The survey was put on
by DR.. T. 7. Manuel, head of
the Department of Education at the
Western State College in Gunnison,
who gave his time and service abso-
lutely free to the county.
This is one of the few, if not the
only survey of the kind ever put on
in the state. At the present time four
surveys are being made from head
quarters in various counties, but they
are different in form from this IN that
they are managed by state officials.
The survey was put on in districts 6,
8, 18, %, 23 and "a. ut is the most
progressive step taken in Delta in
many years." said Miss Burnett, coun-
ty superintendent of schools, "and we
are deeply indebted to the progressive
business men and forward-looking
people of the districts where the sur
vey was made. Without their CO.
operation it would have been impos-
sible to have made the survey sue
cess" Miss Burnett also spoke of
the invaluable service of the Western
State College, particularly of the
research department IN the compile
ton of the project. She said in con-
nection with the college that it had
been Of the greatest assistance TO the
teachers all over the Western Slope
in that teacher has the privilege of
carrying her problems there, and re-
ceiving the advice of experts concern
ing them. She said: $50 few people
on the Western Slope realize the ser
vice put on by Western State College
In so many, many ways"
Miss Burnett states that Delta coun-
ty now has the best corps of teachers
in the history of the county.

EGYPTIAN CROESUS
PRISONER 26 YEARS
Prince Ahmed in Insane
Asylum Near London

Notwithstanding In an insane
asylum here Is a multi-millionaire
Egyptian nobleman who considers
himself a modern Monte Christie. The
man is his highness, Prince Ahmed
Selfeddin, one-time brother-in-law of
King Fuad Of Egypt and the possessor
of an income Of more than $5OO,OO0 a
year.
For % years he has been kept In an
asylum in the outskirts Of London,
with only an occasional outing In an
automobile, and before that he served
four years prison sentence in Egypt
for attempting to shoot King Fuad,
then Prince Fuad.
Shot Brother-in-law.
Prince Ahmed Is descended from
Ibrahim Pasha. second son Of Me-
hemet Ali, who In the days of the great
Napoleon conquered Egypt by intrigue
and battle. His sister was married to
Prince Fuad. In 1898, after she had
told him something about her husband
which enraged him, Prince Ahmed
seized a revolver and fired at his
brother-in-law, wounding the latter.
He was arrested, tried by an Egyp-
tian court for attempted murder and
sentenced to seven years. penal servi-
tude. This term was afterward re-
duced to four years. In addition he
had to pay the expenses Of Prince
Fuads illness, which cost nearly
$4,000.
After serving his sentence in an
Egyptian prison, Prince Ahmed was
brought to England, declared insane
and placed In the asylum where he
has been ever since. Prince Fuad
had. meanwhile, divorced Prince All
med's sister, and she disappears from
the story.
Mother Awaits His Return.
But there is an aged woman living
In Constantinople, Prince Ahmed's
mother, who longs for the return of
her son and has never ceased to work
for his release from the asylum. Time
after time she applied to the British
government, but without success. Now
that Egypt is, at least nominally, an
Independent country. she is trying to
gain their support for her sons re-

Egypt are larger than an English
county and bring him a yearly reve-
nue. of more than $5OO,OOO. Ever since

has been officially administered for

DANCE HAlnSI h
TIMBER FOR CHURCH
Pulpit Is Made From Top
of Old Bar.

Durango, Colo.-The old Greek
saying ''out of bad wood good smoke
sometimes comes" was applied here
when a community tabernacle" and
Its parsonage were built out Of tim
bers and materials taken from a once
notorious gambling resort and dance
hall and from an erstwhile brewery.
The tabernacle, built by the Free
Methodist church, was recently dedi-
Gated. Its altar rail was made of
part of the bar against which the
lumberjacks, miners, cowpunchers,
Mexicans and gamblers of forty years
ago used to lean. The bars foot-rail
was converted into the hand-rail of
the steps leading into the church. A
Bible now rests on the polished wal
nut where the liquor Of the early days
was placed, for the top Of the bar has
become the pulpit. The altar was con-
structed from other parts Of the bar.
The church rests on a foundation
of stone, heavy timbers and iron
beams taken from both the dance
hall and the brewery. The window
sills and ledges were made from the
heavy oak bottoms of huge beer watts.
The building occupies the site of
the former brewery. 1t is situated at
the foot of bluff and is overlooked
by the parsonage Of the presiding
elder of the district. The parsonage
once was the office of the brewery and
has been made into a modern cottage
1t Is planned to terrace the bluff and
to build winding stairs from the ell
der's home to the house Of worship,
using as a hand-rail a coil formerly
utilized in making beer.
The two steps that lead to the en-
trance of the tabernacle were formed
of timbers taken from the dance hall
One Of the boards carries a bullet
fired from a ".45." evidence of one Of
the many shooting scrapes that en-
livened the old resort. The heavy
timbers comprising the supporting col
umns and the roof beams were taken
from the dance halls. The church
seats 700.
II think" said Rev. F. F. Stewart,
the presiding elder who conceived the
idea, that 1t was i'm the nature Of an
act of Providence that we were able
to convert these places Of disrepute
into a house of worship"

The other shows the die-hard
spirit, the spirit that's out to main
tain the old social standards at all
hazards. Here it is:
There Is now a vacancy (first
class) for lady inebriate in home at
- Apply, ETC."
The plain inference of this laconic
message is that at this particular
home there is no welcome for a wom-
an inebriate who is not lady.

CHAMP DEMPSEY
MAY Be SIGNED
FOR W|LLSiB0UT
Champion and Manager in New
York to Talk Over Pros
pective Fight.

New York, Nov. 25.-Jack Demp-
sey, worlds heavyweight champion,
and his manager, Jack Kearns, ar
rived in town today. Before the
champion of the universe leaves here
he is very likely to affix his sigma
ture to a contract agreeing to de-
fend his title in fifteen-round bout
to decision against Harry Wills or
any man the promoters name.
An offer will be made Kearns and
Dempsey which seems too tempting
for them to resist. The offer will be
made by promoter of recognized
ability and financial backing. The
money of Dempsey and Kearns will
be protected in every way.
Dempsey-Wills Bout Possible
Inasmuch as Kearns and Demp-
sey last week are said to have talked
over the proposition with the pro-
moter and that the promoter has vir-
tually agreed to all the terms and
conditions stipulated by the cham
pion and his manager, the chances
seem most roseate for the one great
heavyweight contest the fans have
awaited so long and anxiously, Demp-
sey VS.. Wills, really materializing.
1t would seem that the only thing
which stands in the way of Kearns
and Dempsey accepting the alluring
offer that this week will be made
them is that the report is true that
Kearns and Dempsey are in some
way tied up by Tex Rickard and that
Dempsey will not engage in any bout
that Rickard wants except under
Richards auspices.
This report, however, repeatedly
has been denied by Kearns and
Dempsey.
May Sign This Week
If Rickard does have some hold on
Dempsey and Kearns then this
weeks offer by another promoter
may force Richards hand and bring
about the announcement of a Demp-
sey-Wills bout under Richards aus
pices.
II Dempsey ever is going to fight
Wills. either the promoter, whose
name cannot at this time be men
toned, or Rickard is likely to land
the DempseyWills bout this week.
One or the other is likely to have
the contract signed and sealed this
week, although announcement may
be withheld for a fortnight.
The signing of Dempsey and Wills
would launch the tremendous boom
which boxing is now in need Of.

Loving Is Said to Be
Cure for Suffering

New York.-Do you stutter? A little
loving will cure it. If you are not of
an amatory disposition, dancing Is
slower, but equally sure remedy.
At least, so says DR.. James s.
Greene, psychoanalyst and founder Of
the Ephphtha club. Ephphtha Is a
Bible word, meaning thou stalt
speak"
The 1900 members meet once a
week. They go through exercises.
Then Doctor Greene starts them talk
ing of love. They dance. Ergo, their
speech becomes normal.
The only disadvantage, IL it should
be called such, is that most OF the
patients cured Of suffering fall in
love.
Doctor Greene's motto is:
They don't stutter when they say:
4 love you.'"
