moose Monday ended the life of Wal.
ter G. Davis, 50-year -old president 81
the City Savings and Loan association
Of Colorado Springs, COL, who had
fled from a 100000 embezzlement
charge.
Davis, seized here Sunday by al de-
tective who had seen his picture in
the wanted" department of a detec-
tive story magazine. was found
hanging in his cell in police head
quarters.
Prolonged efforts by an inhalator
crew and ambulance surgeons failed
to revive him.
He had fastened his necktie to the
upper part of his cell door, and his
swaying form attracted the attention
Of policeman as the latter made the
rounds Of the cell block.
Davis disappeared from Colorado
Springs six months ago. about the
time his association WAS thrown into
lreceivership. On behalf of 1000 resi-
dents of the Pixies Peak region who
had entrusted their savings to the
company, an investigation was start

gave her. police said. $3.50 a month. a
high priced motor car and diamond
rings.
Miss Terry, held in jail several days,
insisted she knew nothing and said
that "even II I did, would not tell
on Davis"
Davis arrest here resulted largely
from q nervous habit of looking over
his shoulders. which led q detective to
spot him.

IF DOLLARS ARE SCARCE,
DON'T CUT DOWN ON MILK
State Health Director Suggests
Division for Food Dollar

"When dollars are scarce, as they
are with most people at present, and
every penny has to be used to adj
vantage, cut down on other things,
but don't cut down on milk, in plan
ming your expenditures for food" is
the advice Of DIR. R. H. Riley, Direc-
tor of the State Department of
Health, to mothers of young children
and to housekeepers in general.
Remember" DR.. Riley said, chat
milk is the one indispensable food for
young and old, in fact for all ages.
This does not mean that it contains
all essential food elements. Tt have
a diet that contains all elements nee
essary for growth, energy, mainte-
nance and repair of body tissues and
structure, other foods have to be used
as we'll as milk. But by itself, milk
contains more of the necessary food
elements than any other single arti-
Gle of diet. Accordingly, it is good
economy to spend large share of
the dali allowance for food, on milk.
"The reason health officers advise
the use of generous quantities of milk
in the diet, is because milk is what is

An Interesting Fact
THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES:
John HANSON

The supreme question that arose as
result of the success of the Colo
nists in the Revolutionary War was
whether a republic of united states
should be formed or whether thirteen
independent states should exist in
America.
On this issue, Maryland, through
her representatives, John Hanson and
Daniel Carroll, took decided stand,
and refused to ratify the Articles of
Confederation until the other Colonies
agreed to surrender their claims to
the Great Northwest Territory (out
of which the States of Michigan, Wis
consin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio were
carved) and that vast domain placed
under the dominion and control of
the then forming Federal Government.
The issue involved was momentous
and came dangerously near wrecking
the formation of the American Union.
But even so, and in the face Of infor-
nation received by the Congress that
France, an ally Of America in her war
against Britain, looked with disfavor
on any division upon the question III
volved, John Hanson refused to yield
his position until pledges had been
Secured from many members Of Con-
gress that the question in issue would
be settled to the satisfaction of Mary
land. AS is we'll known, this was sub
seqently done.
History agrees that it was the lead
ership of John Hanson that divorced
the Colonies from the Northwest Ter
ritory and thus made secure the per-
petual union of the states.
Hanson took his rightful place
among the nation builders.
In recognition of his leadership and
of his valuable services to the Union
in many ways, the Continental Con-
gress, on November 5, 1881, elected
him the first President of the "United
States of America in Congress as
sembled" is, the first President
under the Articles of Confederation.
Subsequently on the 9Th of April,
1889, the Congress of the United
States counted the votes cast by the
electors of the several states, as pro-
vided by the new Constitution, and
declared George Washington duly
elected President of the United States.

known as protective food. More than
any other article of diet, milk helps
to build resistance against disease.
It is an absolute necessity in the diet
of young children because it supplies
in easily digestible form every ele-
ment the growing child needs-lime
for the bones and teeth, carbohydrates
and fat for bodily warmth and energy,
body building material for building
and repairing the child's flesh and
muscles, and also because it contains
certain vitamens-those substances
which have a growth promoting or
protecting effect upon the whole sys-
tenn. e..
ga diet that is adequate for all the
needs of the body must include in adj
dition to milk, certain vegetables and
fruits which also belong to the pro-
tective' class and which supply in ad-
dition to other essential elements GER
tain necessary mineral salts; energy
producing foods such as breads, GER
erals, sugars and fats; body building
foods-such as cereals, beans, peas,
eggs, cheese, meat or fish.
EVERY growing child should have
a quart of milk day, and the adult
a pint or more daily, supplemented
by the necessary quantities of the
other essential foods. If it is not
possible to buy the full amount of
milk, at least one pint of milk should
be provided for each child and at least
half a pint daily for each adult.
Nutrition workers who have made
a special study of food values, ad-
wise the following division of every
dollar spent for food:
"One-fourth, 25 cents, for milk,
either fresh, unskimmed or evapor-
ated; condensed milk will not answer
the purpose. One-ffth, 20 cents, for
vegetables, such as canned tomatoes,
cabbage, potatoes, greens or other
vegetables or fruits; one-ffth, 20
cents, for cereals-oatmeal wheat
cereal, corn meal, flour, rice or maca-
roni, bread, dried beans or peas; one
fifth, 20 cents, for fats and sugars
lard, salt pork, butter, margarine,
vegetable oil, cane molasses, sorgo
syrups, sugar, corn syrup; the rest,
Is cents, for other foods-eggs, meat,
fish, cheese, salt, baking powder. tea,
coffee, cocoa"

STILL WORSE THAN WAR;

About a year ago the fact that more
persons were killed in automobile &C.
cidents during an '18-month perioc
than were killed in the A. E. F. in
the World War, was extensively COM
mented upon. Now, according to 8
booklet issued by the Travellers Insur-
ance Company, automobile accidnts
are still worse than war. During Is
months of the World War, 50,51O
American soldiers were killed in &C.
ton or died of wounds, and 1854
were wounded, not MORALLY. In the
Is months ending December 81, 1881,
$3.50 people were killed in automo-
bile accidents and 1,576,840 were in
jured.
The Travellers booklet emphasizes
some information that every motorist
and pedestrian should know. During
1881 deaths increased 3.3 per cent
over 1880, in spite of a reduction in
the total number of accidents. Severe
injuries likewise increased, despite a
reduction in the total number of per-
sons injured. This apparent contra
diction is laid to the increasing speed
with which we drive. Cutting in, vio-
lation of the right-of-way laws, driv-
ing on the wrong side of the road,
skidding and driving off the roadway
were likewise responsible for many
deaths.
More than AZ per cent Of deaths
were caused when a car struck a pc
destrian. Collisions with fixed OBJ
jects accounted for 12.1 per cent and
collision with other cars, 24.9 per
cent. In the case of injuries, 53.1 per
cent occurred when cars struck each
other, and 1913 per cent when they
struck pedestrians.
These facts are Of immense value
to the Thoughtful motorist,. they show
the primary causes Of accidents, and,
consequently, suggest means of elm
mating them. Drastic steps must be
taken if we are to lower the horrible
and steadily increasing toll of traffic
deaths and injuries.
