the wearing of protective goggles. The
padded cap disappeared. Goggles are
now worn at all contests. Mensur duels
present now no possible danger to life;
and practically no danger of a serious
wound. A complete, impenetrable leather
jacket covers body, arms and neck; spec
tacles protect the eyes, and as only cut

wound Is a slash on the jaw or cheek.

The New Boy in England
Q London Daily Mail.

From the London Daily Mall.
An analysis OF the list of 1920 fresh
men at Cambridge university this year
shows that the grammar school boy from
the Midlands and the horth is gradually
supplanting the boy from the older pub
lie schools as the characteristic member
of the university The reason probably
lies in the fact that the spread of secon-
dairy education in the council schools has
forced up the standard of middle class
education. Many boys also get scholar
ships from the council schools to the
grammar schools. and then others to tho
university. In many cases the grammar
school boys win scholarships for classics
while the Eton and Harrow boys take
up natural science and engineering.

their strict regulations. protection of all
parts where a scar is not wanted, and
ostentatious exposure of the face, are
practically a device for producing decora-

Eleanor Fairlow is quite i'll and
has been taken to the hospital for an
operation for appendicitis.
A week ago Dick told me this and
said: "Margie, perhaps you had bet
ter call and send her some flowers"
l ordered some roses sent to her at
once and yesterday went up to see
her. She has come through the oper-
alton all right and must say never
saw her look so well as she did with
her heavy black hair braided and tied
with rose pink ribbons coming out
from under her lace and rose ribbon
cap.
Her room was filled with flowers
and included the white roses 1 had
sent that morning.
On her pillow was tiny bunch of
pansies with a piece of paper twisted
around it on which was written with
a typewriter:
There's pansies, that's for
thoughts"
wonder who sent them? knew
it could not be Dick, for he never did
anything so sentimental in his life,
and yet if he had sent them it would

Perhaps it was because my own
hands were not quite as well kept as
usual and showed the effects more
or less of my housekeeping. Miss
Fairlow plunged into the telling of
her experiences as a victim of ap-
pendicitis.

Miss Fairlow looked at me rather

if she wished to caress them rather
than to inhale their fragrance.

TO SEAT 1000
IN MAJESTIC,
IS new PLAN
Road Shows to be Brought Here;
To Remodel Local Theatre
Completely.

The seating capacity OF the Ma
jestic theater will be doubled, the
entire front remodelled in the most
modern fashion and the stage will
be equipped with a loft for handling
the most pretentious road show. This
decision was reached last night by
II. T. Nolan and A. r. Wilson. own
ers of the theater, and A. A. Miller,
who owns the building. An option
which is to be executed at once was
secured from Mr.. Miller and in all
probability the reconstruction of the
building will begin at once.
The rooms formerly occupied by
Jules A. Doucet and to be vacated
shortly by the Blackstone Jewelry
Company will be turned into the
front and extensions will be made to
seat close to 1000 people.
The house front will be one of the
prettiest in the west. when COM
pleted.
A road show, such as plays in the
Grand theater in Pueblo weekly will
be brought here about once a month
during the theatrical season and
possibly summer stock companies
will be maintained.
II. T. Nolan is general manager of
the w. II. Swanson Film Exchange
and he will submit the proposition
to W. ii. Swanson. the head of the
biggest independent film manufac-
turers in the country. With his ap-
proyal the deal will he closed.
Other show houses in, the west will
be secured by the same manage
ment and ultimately brought into a
chain of moving picture and road
show theaters for the intermountain
west.

Fundamental Democracy.
There is one phase of the suffrage
fight which interests me intensely.
As it is conducted in the east it is
fundamental democratic movement.
II has broken down the walls of
caste as nothing else. could have
done. You find the wife and daugh-
ter of the millionaire working Shout
der to shoulder with the girls from
the shops and factories. They meet
on terms of absolute equality. For
the present they are concentrating
their energies on the effort to secure
the ballot but they have very def-
mite ideas of what they intend to do
with that weapon when they secure
it. | do not believe the average man
and especially the average politi-
cian-has sensed this fact. There is
widespread notion that most of the
women of means and social position
who have allied themselves with the
suffrage cause have done so because
they craved notoriety. Undoubtedly
this is true of few, but it is not
true Of the great majority,
The college woman, in my judg-
ment, is the real leader, of the suf-
frage movement. She studied polit-
ical economy while her brother play
ed football or entertained the stars
OF the chorus. AS a consequence she
is apt to have profounder and
much more sympathetic grasp of the
twentieth century problems than has
the male members of her Glass"
Then again, after she quits college
she has the time and money to en-
able her to pursue her researches.
She invades the congested districts
OF the big eastern cities and secures
first hand information concerning
white slavery sweat shops, over
crowded tenements and the hundred
and one problems pulling our phil
anthropists and law makers.
She has been quick to discover
that the unfortunates of the lower
social strata are blood of her blood
and bone of her bone, and that they
are perishing because of some hor-
ried tangle in our economic system.
The discovery has made her demo-
crat-in the broadcast and best sense
of that much-abused term-and she
calls for the ballot, not because she
longs for an opportunity to push
bit of white paper into little
square box but because she wants to
help straighten things out.
Awakening in the East.
The men of the east are beginning
to catch the spirit of the movement.
At first they laughed at it, now they
are almost prepared to embrace it.
