DENVER HOLDS MARQUETTE
Both Teams Fair to Score at Any
Stage-An Dope Upset by
Home Bunch.

DENVER, Colo, Oct 16-(Special Tele-
egram.) 1.-The Denver Methodists sprang
a big sensation Saturday when, con-
trary to all expectations, they held the
Marquette Catholics to a to y score in
clean, hard fought battle From first
to last the locals outplayed Marquette
in the new style formations. The Koch
Ter eleven was unable to penetrate the
rangy line OF the visitors, but by a va
riety of trick formations and forward
passes they succeeded in keeping the
ball in Marquette territory for a large
part of the time All of the Juneau
gains were made on the old style double
pass plays with linesmen carrying the
ball for large majority Of the gains,
The feature of the game was the man
ner in which the Denver line held at
critical moments Twice Marquette lost
the ball within Denver's ten-yard line,
their backs being unable to penetrate the
solid defense OF the locals. Another
time the visitors worked the ball to the
9ix-yard line only to hear time called for
the end of the first half Denver had
two chances to score on forward passes,
but each time the men fumbled the ball
with clear field ahead of them to the
goal
Strong Wind blOWtnRs
A strong wind blowing across the field
for a majority of the time prevented any
accurate kicking and in a large measure
interfered with the use OF the forward pass
pass on the part of the locals, Smaller
had two good trials for goals from thirty
yards, but each time his boot failed.
Among the individual players Crowley,
the great offensive back of Denver,
Greene at center, and the Marquette
tackles, Hanley and Elson, were easily
the stars. Practically every big gain by
Marquette was made on tackle around
formations, the two bulky linesmen tear
ing great holes in the Denver defense.
Greene proved a bulwark for Denver
and made his last game Of foot ball
notable one Crowley was in almost
every offensive play. One decided eff
feet of the new rules wRs found in the
fact that neither team was forced to use
a substitute throughout the game, the
quarters giving the men all the time to
rest that was needed.
Both teams were penalized frequently,
Marquette largely Nor "roughing" and
the push and pull game. while Denver
lost chiefly on the twenty-yard zone

given the Denver squad unlimited con-
fidence In their ability to cope with the
Cornhuskers next Saturday at Lincoln,
while Creighton begins to look little diff

Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-30

The violin and orchestral depart
ments of the De Chauvenet ConserVa-
tory of Music are under the direction of
Herr Karl Prochnow, who is well fitted
by temperament and musical ability
for the place. Herr Prochnow comes
of a German musical family, both par
ents being talented Vocalists and from
them Herr Prochnow received his ear
Hest instruction in music. He is we'll
known for his ability as a teacher in
the east. He came to Los Angeles
about three years ago to take charge
of this department and is now well
established in his profession in this
city. Herr Prochnow's musical edu-
cation is very thorough. He first stud
led the violin under Prof Schweins-
berger, an eminent violinist, who was
his instructor for several years. He
then entered the Michigan Conserva-
tory of Music, where he took thor
ough course for teaching, and studied
under such masters as Henri Ern and
Leo Altman. After graduating with
high honors in the teachers training
class he studied with Rumble of New
York, who was a pupil of the great
Ysaye. Later he completed his work
under Prof. Erhardt of Leipsic and
Desc Nemes, the great Hungarian

violinist who was not only teacher
but a kind friend of Herr ProchnoW'
and always ready to give his kind ao-
vice. Herr Prochnow began teaching
under the immediate direction OF
Nemes and had the benefit of the ad-
vice and constant supervision in his
work of that great master. This IN
innate association was of the greatest
value to Herr ProchnoW. His ability Is
best shown in his sympathetic work
with his pupils, as he possesses marked
ability in the art Of teaching and like
his own favorite master he studies the
needs of each individual pupil and APP
plies the necessary instruction accord
ingly. Realizing the necessity OF
starting pupils correctly Herr Proch--
now devotes a portion of his time and
attention to the education and devel-
opment of young violin players and
his great success III the past and the
unquestioned results which he has
achieved place him in the very front
rank of teachers. He is known con-
tinually to strive for the advancement
of music and for The elevation of his
art. Herr Prochnow has also done
some creditable work in composing,
and is the author of a musical text
book.

ATTRACTIVE NEATNESs

We all have among our acquaint-
ances the girl who without being in
the least good looking, always man
ages to look neat and well dressed.
Perhaps she has only a small dress
allowance, and yet whenever you hap
pen to meet her she looks smart and
attractive, while other girls, with
twice the money at their command,
too often look shabby and dowdy
What is the neat girls secret? Moth
ing more nor less than taking care OF
her clothes; she has a place for every
thing, and everything is kept in its
place; her ribbons, gloves, handker-
chiefs, wells, etc, are not all huddled
together in one drawer, neither do they
lie about on the tables and chairs un
til they are wanted. Every article OF
apparel is put away with the most
scrupulous care, first being busted,
shaken or mended, as the case may be.
There is a great difference, too, IN
the way in which girls put on their
clothes; and very often girl dressed
in a shirtwaist and plain skirt VIII
look twice as neat as one clad in an
extensive gown, the reason being SIM
plv and solely this: The one has put
her dress on anyhow, the other mas
taken care that all shall be neat and
fresh.
It is the duty of all parents to see
that their children are taught from
their babyhood to take proper care OF
their wearing apparel; for the child
who let's her clothes drop off her ana
lie in a heap on the floor invariably
crows into the careless, untidy woman
with whom we are so familiar.

WORK FOR THE TOT

The little child, because it is father
to the man." is a very important con-
sideration in the days order of work.
He should receive his recognition and
as soon as possible be given some re-
sponsible work to do.
Few mothers realize the risk Of over
caution and overattention to their chill
dren after they are old enough to play
and romp about. A child is happier
with few and simple playthings than
with a multitude of complicated toys.
There is no such good fun or good
training as making ones self useful in
doing little things like work, and it is
cruelty to deprive the child of this
pleasure and stimulus. Let the brain
and body be trained through hand,
foot and eye Give the boy a carpen-
ter's bench; encourage the girls to do
homework.
Where possible let both boy and girl
have a little garden patch, if only

SEEKING A POSITION

Seeking for a position, sometimes
termed a Job" is without exception
one of the hardest things girl has to
contend with when she enters the BUSH
ness world Although she may be just
as confident of her ability as we are
that the moon shines occasionally, it
is a hard thing to convince the other
person af that fact. The best plan,
then, is to study self-assurance. Be
absolutely sure of what you know, and
know it well. Mediocre brains have
no place in the business sphere If sue
cess is what you are after 1t is the
survival of the fittest every day in
the week. If you are confident of your
ability don't be afraid to say so, and
once you get your footing on the lad
der get a good hold on the sides and
keep on until you are at the top.
First of all, know what you are able
to do Study, work, read and observe
until you know it thoroughly; so well,
in fact that competition from any one
else would be a difficult matter.
If you are a stenographer, the mere
ability of putting down pothooks and
reading them in any sort of a haphaz-
ard manner will not be sufficient for
you to ask a man for a position and
expect a good salary. Good, common
progressiveness, a very good knoWl-
edge of grammar, spelling and pune
tuation-the last three being the most
essential requisites to success along
that line. Careful reading of good lit
erature is another great help.
If you were to ask any business man
what are the chief faults he has to
contend with, nine times out of ten he
will tell you that the average stenog-
rapher has no common intelligence;
that she cannot transcribe carefully;
and as to punctuating and paragraph
ing, a letter of one sentence without
a comma would not be an uncommon
affair Then another thing is the me-
chanical way in which so many work,
going along in a listless, hope-to-hit-
the-mark fashion, trusting to luck that
things will come out all right and with
no thought concerning the improve
ment of their minds.
The same talk applies to the girl who
is going to do clerical work or book
keeping, or, in fact, any kind of work.
Every business man likes his clerks to
be good penmen, and, indeed, in some
cases, 1 think that they dwell on that
point too much. Rapidity and accu-
racy in figuring are likewise essential,
but the chief one is carefulness. Post
ing to the wrong account is a sin that
is hard to be forgiven and one that
business man dislikes very much; for
what is the use of sending out bills
and statements if the amounts and to-
tails cannot be relied upon? Even If
you do write a beautiful hand and can
get rid of work in a miraculous fash
ion, that is not going to balance the
mistakes that not only keep you weeks
hunting a balance and sending out
corrected statements, but ofttimes cost
your employer many dollars.
Now, to start out with, dress neatly
and simply in a well-bred, ladyike
manner. If you have already had some
experience a good idea is to write to
business houses of a like nature, ten
dering your letter as an application Tor
a position. AS a rule they are very
courteous, and if they have nothing at
the time will advise Won and hold your

application Gf acceptable) until such
vacancy should occur. In writing let
tiers of application or answering adj
vertisements, get to the point No
business man wishes an essay or
history of your life to read. He wants
plain facts-that is, what you can do,
your ability along the particular line
in question and what you wish as
compensation. When possible type
your letters, giving the reader some
idea of your neatness and arrangement
of such, putting forth the necessary
facts and asking to be favored with
an interview. When it comes to cler-
zeal work. always write in long hand,
using good paper in white or cream.
Colors show bad taste. If you feel
that your services are worth a certain
figure and it is cut down don't always
refuse. First find out what the chances
of advancement are and how soon you
can have your price, your ability to
show what you can do being on the
other side of the scale.
When it comes to the newly initiated
the game is a hard one. Few people
want an inexperienced girl, never
realizing that a good inexperienced
girl is the best one in the world to
break into new ways.
When you start out to hunt po-
sition, unless YOU are very familiar
with the business part of the city,
submit all answers, addresses and
propositions to your father, If you have
one. or to an older brother, or to some
business man in whose word you can
put full reliance. The crooks are not
all in iail and there are still men who
will have a girl work for them for
two or three hours. even a half day,
on the plea of finding out if she will
suit. and in this way getting good
percentage of their work done free OF
cost. Do not take the first thing that
comes along, unless in hard straits,
but If you must do that, keep your
eyes omen for something better.
All the typewriter concerns to be
found in the larger cities are always
willing to help girls in need of posi-
tions. The filing of an application ana
in some cases a small test on the ma
chine are all that is necessary.
A great MANY houses insist upon a
test in order that they may get some
idea of your ability. One letter, IN
some instances two, is usually enough.
So don't get scared, girls, but just get
together an extra dose of nerve and
pitch in. Your friend downtown may
have what she calls a SNAP" but keep
pushing ahead and who knows but
what YOU may get a position" and be
the envy of the community? Above
all. never give up hope, for no matter
how hard your work might be, just
trv to comfort yourself that it might
be a great deal worse. Remember
that behind every cloud the sun Is
shining, and the time may be only
day off when it will be all sunshine
for Won.
