GOVERNORS MEET AT COLORADO SPRINGS Number of Pet Theorles Will Be Discussed. Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 27.— Governors of a number of states as- sembled here for a conference of state executives. In addition to the governors there are a number of former governors on hand, as was Seoretary of the Interior Franklin K. G Lane, representing President Wilson at the gathering. Governor Ammons of Colorado and Mayor Askeson of Colorado Springs dellvered the addresses of welcome and Governor Spry of Utah responded. After that the first day’s business consisted largely of routine—the ap- pointment of committees and other preliminary work of the conference. Outside the regular program a good many of the governors have pet theorles which they intend to discuss and the controversies some of these propositions promise to provoke are likely to be very lvely. — Governor Ammons of Colorado, for instance, opposes national conserva- tion, belleving instead in the state control of public lands. Governor Hodges of Kansas favors commission government of states. Governor Hunt of Arlzona would abolish legislatures. and vest their power in the governors and their cabinets. Governor Mann of Virginia wants a national highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific and another one from Canada to Mexico. Also he wants prohibition in Virginia. Governor Colquitt of Texas wants Mexican gore, unless the Mexicans are very circumepect in their attitude toward Texas. EE AL R R R R E R T LONG SERVICE I8 RICHLY REWARDED. New York, Aug. 27.—A re- ward for his thirty years’ faithful private secretaryship blacks from getting into the ring to- gether and a law forbidding marriages between whites and blacks, but in the absence of such laws he thinks it is useless to blame Johnson, who is en- titled to all the honors of winning the championship and should not be made a scapegoat.

Me- Alpine, widow of John: McAlpine, ‘wealthy Duluth lumberman, who was murdered in the basement of his home Aug. 15, is named as chief legatee and one of the three execu- tors of her husband’s estate, in a will which was filed in probate court. The estate, exclusive of life and accident insurance policies, is esti mated at more than $500,000. Under the terms of the will, all except $15,000 goes to the widow. Dale McAlpine, stepson, and his niece, who were living at the .Me- Alpine home at the time of his death. are not mentioned in the will: Bogus Bank Notes Appear. ‘Washington, Aug. 27.—Two counter- feit $10 national bank notes have made their appea.ance and the secret serv- ice force of the government is hot on the trafl of the men who are thus seek- ing to Increase the volume of the pa- per currency.

Hit Them Both, “You remember old Si Collins, what used to be around here last season, don’t you?” remarked the station mas- ter at Seekonk. “You mean the chap that always bad a way of dofng things differently from any one else?" “That’s the feller,” replied the sta- tion master. “Well. he committed sulcide 'bout a month ago.” *“Why, that's ternble' But did be do that differently too?" “Differently!" ejaculated the statlon master. *“Why, 1 should say he did.

The hyylene of the schools, the care of the school children and the estab- lishment of playgrounds are -rapidly 'coming to be regarded as among the most important questions of the age. ‘When it 15 consldered that achool chil- dren spend from ‘tight to fifteen of the formative years of their lives in schools it is only reasonable to expect that their bodies as well as their minds should be prepared for their life work, for a well trained mind in-a weak body is as much a mistake as a house built on the sands. In this country as well as in many others children are compelled by the state to attend school until a certain age is reached. “Up to the age when children can leave school the state should be responsible for their health, according to Professor Irving Fisher of Yale university. Likewise the state should be responsible for their mental training and should recognize the fact that the schoolhouse is more than a place for the children to spend a few hours a day for ten months of the year. Better than the ordinary school is the outdoor school, which is now so rapidly coming into prominence. Where ‘and ‘most Tmportant lamaseries in outer Mongolia. .

The easlest way to make things right at Washington is to begin by making things right at home. Remember there is one big differ- ence between this town and all other towns. This town is where you live. “Yesterday is gone; tomorrow may never come.” This day is your best opportunity. So is this town. If you are a wage earner here this town spends its money with you.

Softened by Presence of Numerous trees surrounding a coun- try home or one located in the small town adds more to the general ap- pearance than the design of the house. There is something about the presence of the trees that adds infinite grandeur to the entire surroundings. From time imniemorial trees, vines and shrubs have been used to soften the outlines and cover up the disfigurements .of houses. This is true of either new or old buildings.

A postage stamp will purchase you the use of a dollar for 122 days. Three stamps equal the interest on a dollar for one whole year. Little economies rarely enter into the calculations of the average man or womap — those who earn from $500 to §5,000 a year. Men who smoke cigars easily con- sume three a day, costing not under 80 cents—enough to pay for the use of $1,825 for that day!

GIRLS ON ROOF PLAYGROUND. fresh air achools have been established children suffering from certaln forms of tuberculosis or who come from tu- bercular familiés have gained in strength and health and bave showed better mental development. Besides the good effect on children’s health, it has been found that children attend school more regularly when it 1s conducted on the outdoor plan. One of the greatest needs of Ameri- can citles today in order to preserve the vitality of ‘children is the estab- lishment of playgrounds, easily acces- sible to all children of a community. It is said that the physical and mental are inseparably joined together, and if one is defective the other will suffer in sympathy. - It appears impossible to develop the child physically in any way 8o effectively as through active play. Formal gymnastics can accom- plish relatively lttle, The child must have some end to gain that arouses its enthusiasm and demands agllity and strength and endurance. Then its whole bodily mechanism will work to- gether in harmony to secure this end. Even if playgrounds were of mno value #3 social development they would still be v Inestimable service in keep- ing ch¥?ren out of crime. If a boy's energles are not.used up in wholesome activity they will often find expression 1n llegitimate conduct. There s a movement on foot in ‘Washington among those interested in the welfare of the school children which bids fair to solve in many in- stances the problem of lack of play- ground during their recgsses for the puplls of the public schools, a problem ‘which, owing to the neglect of the school authorities of former years to provide sufficient space for the greatly increased number of scholars, has in Very many cases become a most seri- ous one. The solution of the trouble, as pro- vided by the movement, is to appro- priate a certain portion of the street luring the recess time. The proposed plan is to set aside-z block of the street roadway during the recess time by means of ropes that can be readily adjusted to poles set in the curb In a few igeconds. The barrier could thus be erected or removed by some of the older pupils almost instant- ly. It would mot extend across the sidewalk. Mongolian Lamas. Bvery third man in Mongolia is a lama. Some live in tents with and on their relatives, while others live in the temples. The temple lamas are of the. ‘lower type.

HOME SURROUNDED BY TREES, tractive than a stone or brick house showing its weathered wall surfaces through a warm green coverlet of ivy which conceals and yet discloses and which does away with the hard con- tours that would otherwise be left by the dearth of surrounding follage? A good building it will grace and an un- sightly one it will redeem as far as re- demption is possible. In England a great deal of the charm of the old manor houses and rural cot- tages is due to the use of ivy and flow- ering vines.

Man Who Buys Goods Away From Home Town Is a Detriment. One of our citizens is going to build a house next spring.
