MOUNTAIN PAPER WANTS TO
KNOW IF DENVER is SUB
JEcT TO PROHIBITION LAW

1t is talked now about the state that
Denver being a home rule city-a
maker of its own laws and rules-that
the prohibition amendment does not
apply to Denver, and that saloons can
run there in spite of the prohibition
law. 1t looks reasonable on the face
of it. And if this be true, the railroads
leading to Denver will have to put on
several more trains to handle the traf-
fic when the balance of the state goes
dry. And also, If this be a fact, the
Denver vote should all be thrown out
or the prohibition amendment declared
for If we cannot make
laws to govern Denver, Denver people
have no business to make laws to
govern us. What is fair for the goose
is fair for the gander.-Telluride Ex-

create a central sales agency which

a rising vote, they unanimously passed
a resolution endorsing the central
selling organization now in process
of formation in all Colorado districts,
and pledged themselves to cooperate
with it.

and men OF less energy moved in.

The Losing Side.

| Hans Garbus, a German farmer OF
Iowa, has discovered that the bene-
| fits which appear on the surface as
attaching to the mail order plan some
times spell disaster and has written
very interesting story of his views
in a certain farm paper. Here is a
part of his story:

HUGE MASKS TOOK
 PLACE OF MAKEUP
 FOR THE ANCIENTS
Interesting Talk on Greek Drama Delivered at the
 Olivet Church.

An interesting talk on The Greek Theatre and Modern Productions of Greek Plays was given before g large audience at the Olivet church New York. The talk was illustrated by stereopticon views of diagrams and pictures of the famous old Greek theatres.
 According to the lecturer, the chor- us was the heart of the Greek play. It took the place of the modern cur tain and a number of other things and performed in the9orchestra of the theatre which was the open semi circular space before the audience. On a raised platform behind the chor- use performed the actors, who were three in number and who adapted themselves to the various charac- ters by changing their masks.
 The action of the play usually took place before an open door or a space before building and since the stage was usually built against some great building. not much scenery was re- quired. However, the Greeks did know the use of scenery and are sup posed to have used some sort of paint ed wooden scenery in their plays. The rolling scenery was very well known to them. The perfect forms of Greek theatres were semi circular in design, with the stage inters4cting the circle to the depth of one-seventh the diameter. The stages themselves were always long and narrow. The largest of these theatres held A., 900 and it's acoustic properties were so perfect that persons occupying seats the greatdst distance away from the stage could hear every sy1la- b1e.
 The masks of the Greek actors performed all the functions of mod ern makeup. Their grotesque fea- lures were necessary for emphasis because of the considerable distance between the audience and actors.
 MT. Hutchins concluded the talk with a slide of the model of the tenn pie background which will be used for the production of Iphigenia in Tauris at the Yale Bowl on Satur- day and some views of the general effects which Granville Barker has accomplished in various productions

sAMBRosKI IS NoN-sUrrED

1- 77
 The suit of Frank Sambrosh of Tfompsonviue against George SOrIove of Bridgeport was tried before Judge Edward L. Smith in the court of com mon pleas yesterday. Sambroski said that on July 3, 1914. he bought of the defendant, through an agent of the latter, 15o barrels of ..common'' flour at $A-2O a, barrel and sixty barrels of patent flour at $4.70 a barrel. He said that through failure of the de- fendant to carry out the contract he lost $500. The defense was that a, part of the flour had been shipped and that. Sanbrosld broke the con tract. by not paying for the flour that was delivered under the terms of the contract. Patrick F. Burke appeared for Sanbroski and Carl Foster for Orlove. After the plaint1ffs side had been presented, Judge Smith granted Mr. Fosters motion, and directed a. judgment in non-suit.
