NEW MANAGER FOE

Sig Olsen freely admits that to him
the picture show business is irresistibiy
fascinating and that he can no more
quit the game than he can give up rail-
roading. In proof of this statement he
has rented the Odeon theater Of Parki-
son and Robertson and took charge Of
the same last Sunday evening.
Sig has given it as his opinion that
the movie game was too strenuous, that
the people were too hard to please, and
the effort not worth the candle, ETC.,

Denver, Nov. 1f.-Governor AmnlOns
who returned from the governors con
ference yesterday, is very much con
cerned over the future of Colorado, es-
especially its credit. The governor is
disappointed because the people defeat
ed sections 35, SO and 81 of the public
utility bill. In discussing matters ne
said: 81 think that had we adopted
those sections it would have been a
great help in a financial way. Say

dent and directors of one of the big
years ago sold Union Pacific bonds in
order to get money to buy bonds in one
of our irrigation schemes that was pro
mulgated under our laws and that ap'
parently carried the approval of the
state. They sold threefourths of :,
million dollars worth of Union Pacific
bonds and invested every dollar IN the
scheme and then two months later the
scheme failed. Those people thought
the state of Colorado was back Of
those bonds. The law should be SC
changed as to provide that the state
engineer should pass on those projects
and when the state engineer does ap'
prove them the state of Colorado should
be back Of them. At present the state
only half sanctions them, but that il

All over the country the people are

the complete devastation of their fields
and stores by the German armies.
Through NO fault Of their own the poor
Belgians find themselves starving and
with no means Of helping themselves
except by an appeal to foreign coun.
tries.
This is no time to moralize on the pros
and cons of the European war. 1t is
enough for us to know that a harmless
people who are nOncombatants are fac
ing the fact that their land has been
pillaged and their stores of sustenance
swept away. This fact must needs
arouse the humanity within us. Let MS
not shut up our bowels of compassion,
but let us be helpful to those who are
now in such sore need. The plan of
making a general Thanksgiving service

the relief of this stricken people seems
to be the popular thing.

BOY AND GIRL c.
OF DUBLIN

From out of the troubled scene OF strikes and
lockouts, riots and baton charges. stands the
quaint and pathetic figure of the child beggar
OF Dublin.
There are thousands Of these child beggars.
They come from crowded rooms of squalid tene-
ments that once were the splendid homes of
wealth and fashion. Persistent as flies, ~sprightly
as kittens the Dublin street children have a
tenacious hold on life. Born In small. stufy
rooms. enduring all the privations that increase
infantiIe mortality, these children Of poverty
survive the horrors Of home and the cruelty OF
the streets. And they learn to beg at their moth
er's knee.
When a Dublin street child solicits aims he
combines a recitation Of beatitudes with a be-
stowal Of compliments. He hatters. wheedles.
implores and invokes the saints in one breath.
Silence stimulates him, rebukes encourage him,
anger dismays him not. Running like a dog at
heel. he whimpers and wbdnes, his pattering feet
keeping time with his monologue Of woe. AS
we'll try to shake of the grip Of a bull terrier as
to escape the Dublin beggar child when his keen
intuition has detected signs of weakness. He
provokes smiles. irritation, resentment, and,
above all. a great pity.
Truly, they are subjects OF pity, these little
boys and girls of Dublin, with their miserable
rags, their old faces marked with the wisdom Of
the streets, their grubby. tiny hands held out
for coppers. and their childish voices murmuring
the discord of the beggars whine. Late at night,
with, the public houses closing and the cold rain
sending pedestrians s%currying homeward. l have
seen little. girls Of six or seven years dancing on
the glistening pavement. They have been dane
cling all the evening-not for joy. but for charity.
Now they are tired. and their faces are drawn.
They try to smile but the smile is a queer twist
OF pain. Their wet, ragged skirts cling round
their thin limbs. But still they dance the Irish
jigs. now facing each other and circlins and

NOT HOME OF ANCIENT MAN.

Theories regarding the antiquity OF man in
Peru have not been strengthened by the expedt
ton Of DR.. Ales Hrdlicka OF the National museum
OF that country. The expedition covered several
hundred miles OF the Peruvian coast, including
hitherto unexplored regions in the Western Cor
dilleras. More than one hundred ancient Gene
teries and many ruins. a large percentage OF
which we're previously unknown to science. were
Examined. and over thirty boxes Of skulls and
other material for future study were collected for
the National museum.
The result Of the expedition" says the expe-
dition's report. failed to strengthen the theories
Of the antiquity of man in Peru, but tended to
prove the contrary. Aside from the cemeteries
OF burial caves of the common coast or mountain
people and their archaeological remains. there was
no sign OF human occupation OF these regions.
Not a trace suggesting anything older than the
wellrepresented pre-Columbian Indian was found
anywhere; and neither the coast nor the noun
tain population, so far as studied, can be regard
ed as very ancient in the regions they Inhabited.
No signs Indicated that any group occupied any
