PLAZA.


 The show offered at the Plaza theatre the first three days of this week was greeted with record break ing attendance at all performances and the last half bill is bound to draw the same. The feature pie ture Is the great Nazimova in Out f the Fog" claimed by the press of every city to be the triumph of pie tOrial art. It is a powerful and in tense story of the sea in seven parts. Dealing with elemental human emo tions and passions it strikes 8 note that seldom has been reached in the history of flmdom. This play, which was adapted from the stage drama by II. Austin Adams, "Cep- tion Shoals" which created such a furore during it's long New York run, brought to Nazimova much of the fame which she has attained as an actress and supreme emotional char aCter The story has all the moods and changes of the vast sea about which 1t centers-storms and pas sions of human tragedy, dull and cloudy days when the heavy and en- shrouding fog of despair rolls in to hide the horizon but which later IS dispelled by the blazing sunshine oi romance and love.
 The vaudeville bill has two head liners. Margaret HilIs Famous Com edy Circus with ponies, dogs, mules etc., all wonderfully well trained "Oh, George" a comedy singing talking, and dancing revelation witf q quartet of real performers.

PROPOSES CONSTANTINOPLE AS HEADQUARTERS OF
 THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

LONDON, Nov, 10-- Major David Davies, member of Parliament, has announced that he will move resolu- ton at the forthcoming international conference of the League of Nations in Brussels proposing Constantinoph as the headquarters of the league. He favors the Turkish capital because Of it's strategic situation, ability to exert an influence on both eastern and west ern civilizations and its historical as. sociations.
 "The fate of Constantinople hangs in the balance" said Major Davies, who will be one of the British dele gates to the conference. "No nation IS anxious to incur the responsibility ot it's ownership. It must not be left with the Tmk. Why, then, should it not b2 internationalized and the junction o1 the East and the West be made the c. H. c. of Peace?"

Since the appropriation for the pur~ pose was made by the legislature on the first of April last, bOunties hay" been paid on 66 wolf peltS at the of flee of the territorial treasurer. Thc amount of money expended for this purpose has been $99O, as a bounty Of Sl5 is paid on each wolf.
 Since April 1, 200 sets of eagles feet have been turned in, and thu bounty of 50 cents each paid on each set, making a total of $500 paid fo, this purpose.
 Most of the wolves on which bounty was paid were killed in the First di, vision, although some have come fror' the Interior in the vicinity of TanauH Crossing and sections near there.
 Of the 1,20O eagles killed, nearly all were killed in the First division Indications are that the eagles are be, ing killed off, and are scarcer, as thi, year the bounty was claimed on sev eral thousand less than last year.

GIRL STUDENTS MUST CUT OUT
 THE FUSSING

GREENLEY, Colo, Nov, lO-- Pupil cation of the rules of the Colorado Teachers College restricting the "fuS- sing" and other recreation of the 400 girl students, has caused a wall of dis may to 70 up from the student body. The rules were recently drawn up by Dean Helen G. Brown, of the womens department.
 Among other things the rules pro- vides that in no instance shall men and women students be allowed to re- side in the same building. The period between s and 10 D. m. must be ob- served as study hour, and all students must be in their rooms by 10 o'clock at night except Friday and Saturday nights. In order to attend parties and functions which are likely to continue beyond 10 o'clock on Friday and Sat urday nights, the girl students must obtain the consent oi the dean.
 Calls from young men will be re- stricted to Friday and Saturday nights. Automobile riding in the even ing is forbidden except upon cOnseHt of the dean,
 All persons who take students into their homes for board and lodging must report periodically as to the ha- bits of study, sleep and recreation if these are in any way likely to injure the health, reputation or character of the student, to interfere with her work or to bring discredit upon the State teachers college.
