AUTO CAMPS SEEM TO
FILL TOURIST WANT

Auto camping places are quite pop
ular in some cities. The Denver auto
camp accommodated 3,063 camping
parties during the season with total
of l2.2ss individual visitors.
Because of the expanding patron
age of this free camp the city has de-
cided to set apart the sixty-acre Rocky
Mountain Lake Park for exclusive use
as an auto camp.
However, Gunnison has superb
camping places along the river, and
local auto dealers seem to think a
camping park in the city limits might
interfere with their trade. This, how
ever, is open to question. There might
be advantages that would more than
compensate.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY
OF the Maysville High School VIII Be
Held on Friday Night Of This
Week-Excellent Comedy to
Be Presented.

On Friday night the annual class
play of the Senior Class Of the Mays
vile High School will be presented.
The play to be given this year Is
"The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary" and
those who have seen 1t say that 1t Is
one of the best ever attempted by any
class.
The play will be in three acts and
will take about two hours and Is
minutes to perform. 1t is full Of
comedy and will please the most ex-
acting critic. The Seniors have been
practicing for several weeks and have
their parts well learned. The cast
has been carefully chosen, Miss Mary
Boyd Tulley taking the title role.
The following is a brief synopsis Of
tho play:
Aunt Mary is kind hearted, pep
perry tempered spinster, who has slept
away most of her existence in the
country, and she only awakens to the
riotous roar of gay life in large
city when she comes to town to hunt
up scamp of nephew whose guar
dian she Is. She arrives at the time
Of party given by her nephew Jack"
and his friends, and they proceed to
give Aunt Mary roaring good time.
Instead of cavilling she falls in with the
brisk pace to such an extent that af-
ter her return to bucolic life she Is
bored to death with the simplicity of
things out among the cabbages and
COWS. She cannot overcome her old
longing. turns her old house over to
he servants and proceeds to get as
near as possible to the gayety of New
York, where every turn of the clocks
land spells new amusement. A love
lffair threads its way through the
comedy, supplying the necessary
leart interest.

GRADUATE OF ST. PATRICk'S
SCHOOL WINS "HONORS"

In a recent issue of one of the daily
papers appeared an article giving the
names OF the Honor" pupils of the
graduating class of the Maysvi,le High
School, with the respective grades OF
the leading students of the class. Ac-
cording to a plan recently determined
upon by the school authorities and
abruptly announced to the members
of tie class, the past three years of
class work are considered in the recl-
oning of class rank, instead of tn
innaemorial custom prevailing of con.
putting class standing by the average
obtained in the work of the Senior
year There is an element of unfaii
ness in every eX-post-facto law ar
the case in question is no exception
for we find that had the expectation
of the Senior students been futile
and the old established custom been
followed, this year as in the pas,
Miss Olivette Clooney, the younge-i
of the honor pupils and one of TIL
brightest of the Senior class, and w,3
is given but third place in rank, would
have merited by several notes Il
Second Honors" of the Graduatine
Glass of 1917 and have been Close
competitor for First Honors." Un
der the circumstances an innate spir-
it Of fairness prompts public recos-
rition of merit where merit is due.
Miss Clooney is graduate Of 5
Patricks Parochial School, that has
given 10 the High School the honor
pupils for the past several years.

Motorcycle Police Don
Khaki Uniforms May l
Blue Too Easily Spotted" by
Speeding Motorists

After months of investigation Com
missioner Woods yesterday ordered
motorcycle policemen to discard the
blue uniform on May | and substitute
uniforms made Of United States army
khaki.
The investigation proved that the
work Of trapping speeding autoists was
handicapped by the blue uniform, which
can be distinguished at a distance from
the ordinary motorcyclist's khaki.
Several months ago motorcycle men
told the Commissioner that their uni
forms lasted only one season, while the
life Of the foot patrolmsn's uniform is
usually three years. They pointed out
also that in order TO comply with the
department neatness regulation they
were compelled 10 send their clothes TO
a tailor twice or three times a week
to be cleaned. The foot patrolman's
uniform needs pressing about once a
week.
The new uniforms will follow the
regulation army private's uniform. eX-
cept that the patrolman will wear "A
shield. The number denoting the pre-
cinct 20 which he is attached will be
Of gun metal and will be worn at the
collar The sergeants and lieutenants
will wear the same yellow insignia de-
noting their rank nc on the blue uni
forms.

Washington, March TT is not in
