MANY FLOORS FOR
 HOSPITAL BETTER
City Institutions Should Be Built
 Higher

Chicago, Oct. 2i.-1Ieaing the sick in St. Luke's hospital here will so on under conditions equalled only in the country or in the mountains, although the hospital is located in one of the most congested business districts of the city and on the busiest boulevard.
 Because 1t Is a skyscrapcr hoSpi- tai towering 19 stories, the tnIlcst in the world, patients treated in rooms above tho tenth floor will escape the odors, noise and flies which inhahit tho lower staum of air. Thus the convalescent will find himself in an atmosphere as favorable as the re- sort retreat.
 Pressure of increased real estate values forces mp to build GKyscrapers If we are to stay in locations where we will he of most service to the community" said Louis R. Curtis, vice president and general manager of the hospital. Moreover, this type of building Is vastly more eco- nomical to build and to operate per bed, than the old style hospital The movement to build skyscraper hospitals in the center of life of great cities. rather than the convCn- tional low hospital many miles out, Is the answer"

ARMY OF COOKS ID CATER TO ROYALTY
Windsor Castle Has It All Over
 We'll Appointed Hotels

London, Oct. c4.-The royal kit chens and Windsor Castle and Buck ingham Palace, which were over hauled during the absence Of the king and queen in the Scottish Highlands and are now spick and span, are very interesting institu- tons.
 It is said there is no royal house in the world where the kitchens are so well arranged as in the grimly gray castle at Windsor, the home of English soNoreigns since the days of William the Conqucror. Built originally centuries ago, they have been modified from time to time to meet the needs of changed con dltions, but wherever possible the old has been preserved and not in- frequently English beef is served to King George which has been roasted cn a spit that did duty in the days of the Plantagenet kings.
 Until the time of King Edward the royal menus were published for the benefit of the public, but King Edward abolished the practice and his son King George has followed suit.
 Each kitchen at Windsor has a chef. One devotcts himself to roasts, another to soups. third to entrees, a fourth 10 pastries, ct cetera. At the orders of each chef are four cooks who have under them good-sized corps of assist ants, altogether force large enough to take care of the extraordinary demands upon the royal larder

ENGLAND MAY CLAIM
 ST. PATRICK'S BONES
Skeleton of Patron of Ireland Said To Have Been Found in
 Pembrokcshire.

London, Oct. 24. -- Tho skcle- ton of St, Patrick is believed by some to have been found in Penn brokeshire, far from the scenes of his reptlian lahors. The search for the body of the saint was started several months ago in the church. yard Of St. David's Cathedral, among the ruins of St, Patrick s Chapel, part of an older church.
 The chapel floor was found ton feet under the earth, and all tho walls eventually uncovered. At the east end of the ruins was an altar and in front of this was found a skeleton.
 The eNcavators, believing the body that of the saint. sent for the dean of the chapter. who had 1t removed to a place of honor in the cathedral. Here it will remain pending the establishment Of its identity.
 The skeleton was in a perfect state of preservation, except that some damage had been done to the skull, probably by falling stone.
 The discovery so far has pro- duced no comment from the land Of the saints labors, but 1t is expected that efforts will be made to have the body taken there should the eX- perts decide the remains are gcnu- inc.

HIGHER WAGES ATTRACT.
Men From LuLon Leave Country For Big Money in Hawaiian
 Sugar Fields

Manila, Oct. A. -- Women have replaced men in many kinds of work in the two Ilocos provinces in northwestern Luzon, according to Director Cruz of the bureau of la bor, who has received reports that a large percentage of the laborers in the fields and in the construction of public works are women. Many of the men are leaving those prov inces for Hawaii where higher wages are obtainable in the sugar. cane fields, the prevailing wage for farm labor in the 1locos provinces being only 20 cents a day.
 Director Cruz however, is not in favor of the bill now before the legislature permitting the importa- tion of foreign laborers, because he says there are thousands of Tili- pinos without work in various parts of the archipelago.

GARAGES LACK EFFICIENCY
Not More Than Three Autos May Be
 Kept in Building

Berlin, Oct 24.-An effort is un- der way to revise the operation Of public garages in Germany, and bring into effect some of the eff ficiency that prevails in this regard in the United States.
 Under the German building laws, not more than three automobiles may be stored in one room. To overcome this handicap, garage owners built box stalls for each car, and divided a large room into many small ones. But the time lost in handling cars in and out of these cells, and the waste of room en- tailed, are great deterrents, and an effort will be made to amend the law.

SAME OLD BLUFF,
 SAYSLA TOILETTE
SCOHS at Threats and Hints
 Of Panic

La Toilette Special En Route to Syracuse, N. Y, Detroit, Oct. a. As he travelled eastward today from Grand Rapids, Mich, where he spoke last night to Syracuse, N. Yr where he is scheduled to deliver an address tonight, Senator Robert M. Ia Toilette, independent presidential candidate, declared in a statement that it is being whispered about by bankers, railroad operators, indus trial trusts, and the press controlled | by them that should La Toilette be elected, there will be a panic. that credit will be shortened and that banks will withdraw their support to business.
 Same Old Stuff
 "This is the same old stuff that has been used at this stage of every campaign in which there has been a real issue" he continued. Tn 1912, When Woodrow Wilson was a candidate, the financiers and trust magnates threatened that if he was elected there would be a panic. He was elected. and there was no panic. They have used it in state elections. They have even used it in city cleo tions. It is sure sign of reaction ary distress. $ 7.
 T do not question the power of Wall street to produce a panic but l do challenge their courage to put through the conspiracy which they proclaim with the penitentiary star ing them in the face. They are supervised by a governmental agen- cy, the federal reserve board. I shall instruct that board to consider any such action by any member bank to be a criminal betrayal of its rela- tions to the government. I shall in- struct 1t to treat any such bank as an enemy of the public, and as such an enemy to be unworthy of parti- cipation Sn the fayors which the fed eral reserve system has in its power to grant"

OUR NEW STATE POLITICAL ENGINEER?

The recently appointment of "Curley" Lefbvre
to the office of state engineer demonstrates
again Mr. Hunts political shrewdness.
"Curley" has never established very enviable
reputation as an engineer. His record in Pima
county was not one of billiant achievement to say
the least
But, there is one field of endeavor in which
"Curley" has made good, and that is political or
ganization. "Curley'' is a darn good machine
man, and Governor Hunt is getting the old ma
chine well oiled in preparation for this fall. Cur
ley will be counted on to bring home the bacon
in Pima county.
Oh, well What can you expect? The state
highway department is looked upon as the poll
tical pie of every succeeding administration, udg
ing from the auditors report. "Curley'' will prob
ably be as good as engineer as many who have
preceded him-and at the same time Hunt can
count on him as being loyal machine man. -

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

dead men tell no tales, but lot of their
friends do, just because the dead can't answer
back" seems to be the great idea of witnesses
and the senatorial inquistors in Washington
What dead men said is the bulk of the testimony
by men who themselves have been indicted for
crime It is sensational stuff. They are testify
ing to what dead men told them. There can be
no come back with dead men and the people of
the United States are paying the freight in taxes
just for this orgy of gossip which can not be used
in any court in the and-except the present "pol-
itical court, whose only desire and purpose is to
broadcast political dope at the expense of the
people, Every honest citizen of the United
States is willing and anxious to pay for the con-
viction of every man who has robbed the gov
ment. Not only of money but of prestige among
nations of the earth. Good men would not, for
political profit, put America on trial in kan
garoo court.

A PINCHOT IN THE WoODPILE

Discredted in his attempt some months ago to
lay the blame for lack of prohibition enforcement
in Pennsylvania at the doors of the White House
and treasury department. Governor Pinchot of
that state has renewed his attack from new
vantage point. Acting through the senate inves-
tigating committee, has had advocated the en-
ployment of Francis ]. Heney as official prosecu-
tor of Secretary Mellon and, incidentally, the
president.
But the tremendous popularity of Mr.. Coolidge
as evidenced by the state primaries, indicates
that Governor Pinchot's subterfuge viii only re-
the cause of good government is safe in the hands
of the president His vigorous defense of Secre-
tary Mellon is sufficient answer in the public
mind to the attacks of Governor Pinchot and
those senator's who have seen fit to lend them
selves to the latter's schemes.

ARIZONA PUTTING UP DESPERATE FIGHT

The foot and mouth disease in California is not
abating, but is drawing near the Arizona line If
it should cross the river into Arizona the stock
industry would be in desperate straits for on the
open ranges the disease would be much more diff
ficut to combat. The people of the state are
solidy behind strenuous quarantine, feeling
that month or more of inconvenience should be
patiently, borne rather than let the disease gain
foothold. The effects of it would be felt for
year or more if it did not bring ruin to many
stocEmen and ranchers.
