FARMER purMAN's PHILOSOPHY

Josephine bein' still back in Mis-
souri-or to be more correct, bein' yet
back in Missouri decided to go out
with the Mountain Club fur one of
them week hikes. We went to
Pingree park where the Little South
Poudre comes from This here space
is too short to tell all about it, or
who went; and besides promised not
to print the names, because the
Mountain Club amt no formal social
club. When you go out on one Of
them hikes you leave society and civ
ilization on Remington street. You
call each other by your first names
if you still have one and most Of the
older members do; you wear whatever
fits snuggest and keeps you warm
above timberline; you don't shave, il
you're of the Shawn sects; and you
amt supposed to powder or paint ex-
cept with sunshine, If you're of the
other sects.
In fact, you go back as near to ma
ture as ttis commensurate with abil-
ity, risk and investment involved"
(McCann.)
We made our headquarters at the
Forestry lodge; that is, all but four
of us temporary bachelors. We four
asked fur room and bath and they
put us in the hay shed and said we

exceptin' fur short spell when

you ever hear a packrat buildin'

DANGER SIGNALS

(By Chas. Fritsch, Safety Exper)
An, ingenious. American has invent
ed. a device to prevent such motoring
accidents as arise from over-speeding.
He describes his contrivance as fol-
lows:
while the car is running fifteen
miles an hour, a white bulb shows on
the radiator, at twenty-five miles a
green bulb appears, at forty red
bulb, and when the driver begins to
bat 'em out around sixty per, a music
box under the seat begins to play.

THREE THOUSAND PUPILS II TO 20
Registered in Opportunity School

(By Lucille Morris in Denver Express)
Opportunity-the chance for ac-
complishment-
The Denver Free Public Opportu-
nifty School is all that it's name i'm
plies. To many of the 5000 regis
tered there it means the chance to
learn trades by which to support
themselves. To some it gives the pos
ibility of learning laws and customs
so as to become better citizens. Still
others find there the first encourage
ment they have ever received from
anyone personally Interested in them
in that given to them by the princi-
pal and teachers of the school.
Motto Of Success
Perhaps a young man wishes he
could take up salesmanship, teleg-
raphy, machine shop work, or some
other trade study if he only believed
he could make success of it. "You
Can Do It," is the answer in. the mot
to of the Opportunity school.
A young woman may think that be-
cause of lack of education or chance
for earlier training she cannot do the
work that she wishes she might.
Again the motto stands out to remind
her 'sYou Can Do It."
They have been given the chance
to make up for their handicaps. The
opportunity is theirs if they will
make an effort to take advantage of
it.
The enrolment in the school this
year is so great that because of lack
of space all persons cannot be accom-
modated Immediately. Every trade
class was filled the first night of en-
rollment and some of them have
waiting lists running into the hum
dreds.
Glasses for Women
In the classes for women, millinery
is popular. There are SO many taking
this course that only those who wish
to be placed in a position when it is
completed can be admitted. The
school authorities believe that the
first duty Of the school is to accomo-
date persons who want to learn some-
thing whereby they may make aliving.
There is also a large registration
in hair work classes which includes,
switch weaving, hair dressing, etc.
Last year 127 women were placed in
positions from that department alone.
Many of them were women with chill
dren in need of their support.
Many foreigners are coming to
school toelearn English.
"Our DESIRE" says Miss Emily Grif-
fifth, principal of the school, ''is to
have it said that there isn't person
in Denver who cannot read nor write
English"
Thirty Countries Represented
In one class. of citizenship are 100
persons representing 30 different
countries. They meet two evenings out
of the week so they may be prepared
to take naturalization examinations
in the near future. Intense interest
