A Cowboys Girl

To be thoroughly in keeping with the
spirit of the stock show week "a Cow
boys Girl was the offering at the
Curtis for the week commencing yes
terday afternoon.
At both afternoon and evening per-
formance the house was crowded to its
utmost capacity, and in this connection
it might be mentioned that Denver the
atergoers made new record for them
selves yesterday, as without exception
the Standing room only" sign was dis
played at every play house in the city
and hundreds were turned away with
out being able to share in the various
amusement features offered.
"A Cowboys Girl" is replete with
thrilling situations and startling climax
es. 1t gets away nicely from ordinary
melodramatic productions by reason of
the fact that certain light vein Of
humor runs throughout and musical
numbers well rendered with a certain
dash of originality, are especially pleas
ing to those who favor song when inter
mingled with dramatic productions.
The story of the play is admirably told.
The scene circles about frontier life in
Texas. A brother and sister are sep
arated in early life. When they reach
maturity chance again throws them to-
gether, the brother being cowboy and
the sister a wealthy heiress. OF course,
some time elapses before they become
aware of the relationship, during which
a conventional villain has been pursu-
ing the girl. He is wiped out as a
finale.
Speaking collectively, this is by far
the best production that has been staged
at the Curtis for some time. That it
will draw full houses throughout the
week is foregone conclusion.

the purpose is TO obtain rigid instead
Of yielding structure.
That the principle OF the Japanese
system should be followed in earthquake
countries seems TO be demonstrated
by experience In ls9 an earthquake
which affected the Magoya-Gifu dis
trict in Japan destroyed upward OF
1928 900 houses, together with large num-
bers of public buildings. temples, fac
tories and Offices It ia well nigh GER
tain that had the dwellings been built
in European fashion hundreds Of thou
sands of lives must have been lost. As
il was, the number OF killed fell short
Of 10000 Since then an earthquake in
vestigation committee has undertaken
| for the Japanese Government a series
Of observations and experiments in
earthquake areas. II has built some
sample earthquake proof houses, the
Chara acteristic of whose plan Ia the sim
ilarity Of their framework TO that Of
the steel framed buildings that proved
so capable Of resistance to earthquakes
in San Francisco. The only difference
Is that in Japan the framework is not
Of steel but Of wood. strengthened by
iron and steel joints and bolts. In view
OF Japan's demonstration Of their rela-
tive stability, houses thus framed, with
light roofs and at most two stories high,
are likely to become more and more
common in earthquake regions. The
probability OF their collapse is much
'iess, and should 1t occur the danger to
the inmates is greatly diminished.
is it certain, however, that as time
goes on and the horror OF the Messina
earthquake is TO large xtentforgotten
the Government regulations, though on
their face judicious, will be thoroughly
carried ont? No such forecast Ia JUS
tilted by the re ords OF the past In
Messina and throughout the earthquake
area there have long been special build
ing regulations. Arches. for instance,
TO which horizontal shaking would be
apt 10 be fatal have been prohibited.
Practice, however, has by no means
always conformed TO the law. Either
the former Italian regulations were
intrinsically inadequate or enforcement
was lacking. Even in Toxic to-day
whole streets are said to be going up that
pay no heed TO the warnings of earth
quake experts. This is not to say that
very great Improvement will not be COM
passed if in rebuilding Messina, Reggie
and other shattered towns the scientific
methods of construction TO which We
have here referred are employed for at
all events a considerable number of
years.
