The famous Twenty Mule-Team of the
Pacific Coast Borax Co. came to the city
Saturday afternoon and was greeted by
eager and interested crowds along the
way of it's route.
Just a bit behind schedule time the
great Soco-pound wagons came down Rines
hill to the jangle and many bells attached
to the mules. The mules are fine big fell
lows that show good care and a not too
fine appearance on Water street.
Stops were made at a few places and a
great deal Of information relative to the
famous DEATH Valley was given an atten-
tive crowd by "Tarantula Pete" who
spoke from the wagon.

Dorothy Phillips in "A Dolls House."
Sixth lnstalnent Of 1.-THE GRAY
Ghost Joker Comedy. LaemmIe
Comedy.
IL Is conceded by those that know that
Henrik Ibsen wrote his masterpiece when
he produced "A Dolls House" 1t gives
US great pleasure to be able to present the
screen version of it with Dorothy Phillips
in the lead. This is by far the most ex-
acting and intensely emotional role Miss
Phillips has ever essayed on stage or
screen. Mrs. Fiske. Nazimova Eleanor
Duse and many other famous stars have
added to the luster of their reputation BY
portraying the 1bsen heroine. The role
OF Nora Helmer is declared to be the best
part Miss Phillips has ever been favored
with on stage or screen. "A Dolls
House" while advancing the equality of
women, in all things, with men, is not an
advocacy of 'woman's rights In the now
accepted application of the expression

rights and equalities OF woman 1t is a

ScRIMhAGE STARTS
Cony Gridironers Get
First Hardwork
George Martin, BaekfeId Star, is Back
at SehooI-SeveraI Positions Are in
Doubt-Season's Schedule is An
nounced.

Cony's first scrimmage practice OF
the season took place Friday after
noon and furnished the best opportun-
ity that there has been as yet to size
up the schools gridiron material. For
weeks there has been uneasiness on
the part Of the teams supporters on
account Of doubt as to just who Of
last years students would be avail
able. In large numbers the boys had
enrolled themselves in the Junior
Volunteer farm activities and it was
realized that some at least would not
be back at the opening Of school. AT
the gathering of candidates for the
first real work of the season 1t was
found that the situation was not as
bad as some had anticipated but that,
nevertheless, some good and much
needed men were among the missing.
Coach Thompson is not as yet pre-
dieting any championships but neither
has he abandoned hope of such success.
Capt Redmond, the veteran right
halfback of the team, is now in his
fourth season, as regular in the po-
sition. AS a Freshman he was stel-
lar performer and has since acquired
much in beef and in knowledge of
the game. The return to school of
George Martin. after a years absence,
is an event that goes long way in
offsetting the bad breaks which the
team has suffered. With Martin play
ing beside Redmond the backfield was
one of the strongest in the history of
the school. George is now much heav-
Ter than when he last wore a uniform
He will play his old position at full
back Clifford Taber, very speedy
and elusive runner, will be play at
left halfback. The other men who are
practically sure of regular assignments
are F'ogg, tackle; Hall, center; Tyler,
guard and Pierce end.
For the unassigned guard position
Douglas Newman. who never wore a
football uniform before this season, is
making a strong bid He is big and
strong and plays with unusual dash.
| Hunnewell, a 100 pound Freshman, is
another conspicuous aspirant for the
position, and Hight is possibility for
guard or substitute center Buckley
and Hutchinson are trying for a tackle
berth. George Dunnack. seems a prob
ability as end for he is very fast and
hard tackler. Others trying for the
wing position are Mclaughlin, Mccall
Willett, and Holway Ted Martin looks
good as choice for quarterback but for
this position it will be a hot three
cornered fight between that player
Hill and Hutchins.
! Manager Francis Hill has arranged
