For in the evening the Big

PROVO, Utah, Feb. VICTORIES
over formidable non-conference
teams have given Brigham Young
University basketball rooters hopes
for a Rocky Mountain conference
championship for the Cougar hoop
sters.
On a recent California trip the
Young team made clean sweep
of the five games played, besides
having whipped the strong North
Dakota university team twice ear
lier in the season. Its latest tri-
umph was the humbling OF the
strong Phillips university quintet
of Enid, Okla, and the University
of Utah five in two games.
Coach OFT Romney, coming to b.
Y. U. from Montana State, has fall
len heir to an unusually strong
lineup. He has changed the style
of play, however, substituting a
oy oLClii " lSluLlbS, lOhSo, hoi pdo9-
ing and sprintlng for passes. in
sharp contrast to the more ortho-
dox style formerly in vogue here.
The Cougar team is well bal
anced. Brindley, Howe and Dix
on, at forward provide high-pow-
cred scoring punch. Although
Dixon never has played at this po-
sition before this year, his unusual
speed makes him a valuable man
for Romney's style OF play.
Cooper and Magleby are a pair
of rare guards. Magleby is one
of the most versatile men on the
team, while Cooper is an excep-
tionally skillful goal guard. Inger-

"a MANS PAST" GIVEN
PRESENTATION, PALACE

An unalloyed treat was afforded
the large crowd at the Palace thea
tire last night when the UNIVERSAL
Jewel production, "A Mans Past"
made it's long-heralded appearance.
For sheer interest and story val
ne, we believe that this picture
marks the highspot of the current
cinema season. The story is ex-
cellently told, the players are per-
fectly cast and the direction leaves
nothing to be desired.
The story concerns a noted ply
stefan who is sentenced to prison
for putting to death one of his pa
tents suffering an incurable dis
ease. He escapes from the prison
and is well on the road to rehabi
litate himself in new surround
ings when he is discovered by a
former officer of the prison. The
love interest is especially strong
in that the officer and the sur

it appears that the officer will ex
pose the doctor in order to get
him out Of the. way. He does not,
however, which sends the story
into an entirely different climax
which is both original and thrill
ling. ~
Conrad yeidt,. long known as
1.-The European Barrymore" makes
his American debut in this pic
ture.
Arthur Edmund Carew plays the
prison officer and Barbara Bedford
the leading feminine role. Others
in the cast are George Seigmann

to confer upon It's wearers strength
and calmness OF thought In The
face OF temptation, so that they
would be free from the follies that
afflict the majority of mankind.
And now that modern science has
demonstrated the soothing effect of
purple light rays upon the nervous
system, it looks as If the ancient
soothsayers might have stumbled
accidentally upon bit of real
wisdom.
Although today amethysts are
plentiful and moderately priced,
they were. in the early days of his
tory, very rare and greatly valued
BY royalty. which was about the
only class that could afford them.
Strings of amethyst beads were
worn as amulets by Egyptian
queens, and the seal ring of Cleo
patra, with which she stamped all
official documents. was said to be
an amethyst cut in the form of a
scarab.
Later the Greeks were much inn

At Theatres
"BLONDE FOR A NIGHT"
is SHOWING, COLISEUM


A laugh-provoking, rich, whole
some comedy is "A Blonde for a
Night a new De Mile studio
production starring Marie Provost
which opened with great success
at the Coliseum Theatre yesterday,
for two-day run.
The producers attempted, with
marked success, to cram every
known variety of comedy into a
story, which, in addition exploits
a fresh idea for all it is worth
The result is one of the fastest
moving, most genuinely engaging
pieces of entertainment which has
adorned the Coliseum's screen for
some time.
Marie Provost, one of the most
beautiful brunettes on the screen,
is equally charming in the blonde
wig which she wears to confuse
her husband and several of his
friends. 1t is immensely amusing
to see one blonde create Such a
furore among men, and the man
ner in which the piqlant Marie
outwits her pursuers is an absorb
ing study in buffoonery. Marie
proves adept as a Coincidence and
gives skillful performance as the
pranksome wife.
Franklin Pangborn, as modiste,
is seen in an excellent characteri-
cation, and Harrison Ford is a
truly perplexed husband. T. Roy
Barnes has perfect role for his
farce-making talents, and Lucien
Littlefield portrays butler with
real skill.

present confines of the Reich has
grown by 100000 during the past
decade, the generation below Is
has decreased by 100000 More
over, the average workers age has
by reason of the war, risen to a
point well past what is considered
the Peak of productiveness.
German workmen of the present
day, Professor Morgenroth points
cut are mostly past their best,
and the next generation is not com
iug np in sufficient numbers to
iil their ranks.
This is illustrated by the faet
that in the main urban centers in
Germany from 10 to IL per cent of
the total population receive unem-
ployment or poor relief. Count
ing in their. dependents, Professor
Morgenroth comes to the conclu-
sion that nearly one-third of the
large urban populations are tenn
porarily or in some measure per-
manently a charge on public char
ity.
Municipality Worries
What is troubling municipalities
also is that the normal influx of
healthy, hardy young working lads
from the country is showing dis
tinct shrinkage. Municipalities
do not welcome the older and less
able-bodied elements, who are more
likely to become sooner dependent
upon public relief in some form or
other, but the young country-born
men, who once flocked to the cities
in great numbers, can no longer
be spared by agricultural interests
Vital Problem
This is a vital problem for the
towns, for, as Professor Morgen-
roth puts it: The future prospe :
lily Of our big growing cities de.
ponds in the first place on no :
they will be able to provide ade-
quately paid work for their popu-
lation, but also very much on .heir
success in attracting capable work
ers from outside"
All signs, he says, point to a
coming great struggle between
1880 and 1885 by Industrial inter
ests for the possession of strong
young workers.
How powerful the attractions al
the towns has been in the past Is
shown by the fact that only DO 2
Eper cent of the inhabitants of cen.
trail Berlin are native Berliners. In
the suburbs only 177 per cent were
born there. The same thing ap-
plies to Munich, where only 81
per cent of the inhabitants are

German centers.

BISHOP BLAKE SAYS
'christ's Disciples Wouldn't Be
Admitted to N. D. Meth

Williston. N. D.. Oct. s. ,E1 -
Cilrist's disciples were men who would
scarcely have been admitted to The
North Dakota Methodist conference
on their own merits. and who could
have done nothing without the in
~spiration of God. Bishop Edgar Blake,
Indianapolis. told the state Meth
odist Episcopal conference here today.
The disciples of Christ were erentu-
ally successful because they first were
failures. he said. Our failures arc the
Almighty's chance. The failure OF the
disciples caused them to wait for the
endowment Of the spirit and en-
powerment from on high"
Asserting that the work Of the world
has been done by men who first were
failures, the bishop placed Abraham

and Wesley III this category.
The most hcart-rending thing IN
life, the bishop said. is to fail to meas
ure UP to expectations: to have the
expectations of ones friends ant;
neighbors shattered. The bishop point
cd u however. that failure need not
be permanent. but that the power OF
God works for restoration i'll the same
manner that it uplifted the disciples.
