FIREWORKS ON
PEAK TO usher
| IN New YEAR
Colorado Springs Hikers
viii Initiate New Club
Member at Midnight.

En- United Press
COLORADO SPRINGS, Dec. %.
The ALBANIAN Club will usher in
the new year with the largest supply
OF fireworks ever seen in this sec
ton of the west.
The fireworks will be set off from
the summit of Pixies Peak, as the
old year is supplemented by the
new. Some of the most powerful
pyrotechnics manufactured will be
set off by the ALBANIAN members
IN this annual frolic.
The Skyrockets, which on a clear
night can be seen for 100 miles.
are OF $4,000 candlepower. Six
inch bombs, green fire and other
fireworks will be used. The pyro-
technic supply is taken to the lofty
summit of the peak on the last
cog train of the summer. This
train pulled its way through snow
banks the last week of October.
Add One Man a Year
The unique feat of climbing the
peak, 14,106 feet above sea level,
and setting off fireworks to herald
the new year is used by the Ada
man Club to initiate new mem
Der. The club adds one man a
year, hence the name ALBANIAN.
Pipes Peak rises from an eleva-
ton Of a little more than 5000 feet.
On the summit there's always
snow. The wind blows steadily
from a mere movement to a veloc-
ity of sixty miles or more. Winter
temperatures often sink lower than
ten and twenty degrees below zero.
While the summit is easily at
tainable by automobile and cog
train during the summer, a hike
through snow banks ranging in
depth from four to twenty feet is
necessary to reach the summit in
winter months.
Impossible to Sleep
The ALBANIAN members, all eX-
perienced mountain climbers, take
two days to reach the summit. The
first night is spent in a cabin half
way up the peak. Even here the
temperatures are often extremely
low. The second day the climbers
fight snowbanks and cold, chang
ing to snowshoes at various stages
of the ascent.
Roald Anundsen, noted explorer,
is an honorary member of the club.
The new member is admitted at
midnight as the fireworks are light
ed. The mixers wait in the sum-
nit house until dawn to start the
return journey. Large mountain
rats that infest the cabin make
sleep impossible, SO the members
huddle around a huge stove to
keep warm during their stay on the
top.

DOCTORS FAVOR GAS
FOR HOUSE HEATING
Prominent Baltimore Physicians
Use Gas to Heat their Homes

Cumberland Daily News Nov. 20)
That health is not the least impor-
tant factor to be considered in burn
ing gas for heat has been recently
brought out by E. D. Milener, of Bal
timore. He says that 1870 prominent
physicians, including no less than ten
members of the staff of Johns Hop
kins Hospital, are doing their share
to promote health in the home and
eliminate the smoke nuisance with
out, by heating their homes with gas.
Probably no group of men are
better able to judge the advantages Of
automatic gas heating than members
of the medical fraternity" says Mr..
Milener. "There is a definite health
value in living in a house that is uni
formly heated. Colds are eliminated
and people can move about without
wraps. Time formerly spent shovel
ing coal and ashes can be used much
more proftably in other ways. 1t is
unhealthy to breathe the dust that
flies from an ash shovel"
That the choice of this large per-
centage of public health guardians has
been gas is convincing evidence that
it pays to consider health first in the
home life, Mr.. Milener continues. By
eliminating SCOT, smoke and personal
drudgery, much is contributed toward
an ideal, healthful and pleasant home.
Floyd w. Parsons, economist and
scientist, claims Americans are fast
becoming race of sun-choosers, due
to knowledge of the damage caused to
health by smoke. Already, he says,
people recognize the necessity of bac-
teria-free food and water, and he pre-
diets that in another five years there
will be a nationwide demand for pure
air. The price paid for air pollution,
he explains, can be measured in terms
of high death rate from tuberculosis,
respiratory diseases and ricketts,, not
to mention the physical damage done

WHY THEY WENT TO THE
DENTIST AND ITS RESULT
A Health Story In One Chapter
For The Republicans Readers

Barbara, aged three, went to the
dentists the other day, and being an
up-to-date young lady she tripped
along without urging. Barbara's
father is an officer of the Maryland
State Department Of Health and in
taking her to the dentist he was prac-
ticing what the State Department of
Health breaches: Prevention of dis
ease and promotion of good health.
Speaking of Barbara's visit, he said:
"Health officers know now that there
is close connection between healthy
teeth and good health in general. We
know also that neglected first teeth
are often followed by imperfect or de-
cayed permanent teeth, diseased ton
sils and later by seriously impaired
health. The old notion that baby
teeth are of no account was exploded
long ago. Now we know that they are
as important to a growing child's
health as sound teeth are to the health
and well-being of the grown-up.
zone of the discoveries that has
been made in the dental laboratories is
that new teeth-whether baby teeth,
the six-year molars, or any of the
other so-called permanent teeth that
are cut from the sixth year on, until
the wisdom teeth have come, rarely
come through without some tiny i'm
PROJECTIONS. If these tiny breaks in
the enamel are discovered and re-
paired, the teeth have a much better
chance of performing the service
for which they we've intended in the
human machine. If the tiny imperfec-
tons are ignored, each small crevice
opens the way for decay and the
whole round of ills that follow neg
lected teeth.
$50 three year old Barbara is sent
to the dentist to be sure that her
teeth are free from imperfections or
decay. For the same reason, her play
mate, six year old David had prompt
inspection of the six year molars as
soon as one after the other came
through, because upon these teeth will
depend much of his health and COM
fort in later life. Their friends, eight
year old Betty, ten year old Jack and
twelve year old Dick, as well as the
older hovs and Girls have formed the
habit and go to the dentist regularly
for teeth inspections and care, if nee
essary.

2. Garrett county hunters were ac-

little dubious about coming boldly

by many who had tracked him up

the attendance.

lawn, fearing that a clinic would be
hard on flower beds and green grass,
passed out the word that he would not
allow clinic to be held on the public
property. On second thought Scoop
heartily agrees with this course, for
the janitor has the reputation of hav-
ing the best kept lawn in the State
and here is no telling what "tulare-
mia" will do.
So the clinic will be held this Sat-
urday at the Fair Grounds where the
green grass grows all the year around
and rabbits will be welcome. "Doc"
Melody will be on hand to inspect all
livers free of charge.
