just been granted a state license
in optometry. he has neverthe-
less been practicing in this line
for a number Of years, having
studied un.ier DR.. Chas. Caten
of Emporia, Kansas, whom he
assisted in twenty-seven very
critical operations. There is no
reciprocity between the states in
such matters and therefore Mr..
Price had to pass a most rigid
examination in Colorado before
he would,be permitted to prac.
tice. He is now. however, fit
ting his store up with Il dark
room and all the apparatus you
will find in any of the downtown
places. He states that he will
be able to fit his patrons with
glasses at a greatly reduced
price and as he is not a student,
but a practitioner of much ex.
perience, he is able to assure you
of the thoroughness of his work
in this line as well as in the
jewellery business, which he
seems to be making a success Of
in Arvada.

Champions Must Be Ready to

One a Fan.

Seasoned scrappers guaranteed to
stand up against any of the kaisers

Lakes naval training station, north of
Chicago. Of the 1900 in training
there, all picked from perhaps $4,000
applicants for perfect physical condi-
ton, scores of first rate boxers have
been uncovered, and the game in the
squared ring is second to none in pop
ularity among the "landsmen for ad-
miralS."
Aspirants are given tryouts upon
merit alone. From the first day in
camp the newcomer is given an oppor-
tunity to try his hand when volunteer
scrappers at all weights are called for.
By elimination the best scrappers in
each class have been discovered. Aft
er proving their ability in the ring
they are given an opportunity to chal-
lenge the champion for his title. Bouts
Of three two-minute rounds each are
held regularly each Tuesday after
noon. A big natural amphitheater
seating 5000 is the scene.
Wilbur Kendall, who halls from Ko-
komo, Ind, is pronounced by Martin
Delaney, director Of athletics at the
Chicago Athletic club, one Of the classi-
est amateur scrappers he has ever
seen. Kendall, lightweight, was so
far above the rank and Gle of boxers

"long live the (our) friends" but lies
