"Whereas, Salt Lake City ad

H Junior Class Is to
H Present Three
HI Plays Tonight
H If All is in readiness for the puttinr rn
, of tho three plays, to be given by the
I Junior class of the Ogden high school,
tonight at 8 30. Much hard work in
rehearsing has been done.
The plays are to be held in the
high school's auditorium and are
scheduled to begin at S;30, although
! the tickets have the time set at 7.30.
The auditorium is expected to be
crowded, as all the tickets have been
sold.
Each of the three plays has a splen
did cast and a fine entertainment and
show of school talent is promised.
The first play is to be "The Bur
glar." This is a light comedy and is
expected to bring the house down with
laughter.
The second is a bit out of the ordi
nary and in entitled "Overtones '. This
is a portrayal of the inner selves, or
"overtones," of two society women,
while their outer selves are coached
fmd prompted what to say by the in
ner self. While the outer self puts on
flattery and deceit, the inner self says
what she really means.
The third, which consists of three
Scenes, is called Tie Monkey's Paw".
This is considered to be the best of
the three and is a mystery plot and
BXtremel exciting play.
An excellent five-piece orchestra
has been obtained to furnish the music
before the plays and also between the
acts.
The plays are under the supervision
and direction of Miss Vera Hassen
pflug, the oral expression and dramat
ic teacher at the high school.

JUDGE TO PUT J STOP
10 BOYS RIDING 01
SIDEWALKS
Bicycle riding on Bidewalks is caus
ing the officers considerable activity
at the present lime Four boys were
before the Juvenile court this morning
and were fined the sum of $2 each.
"Bicycle riding on sidewalks in the
cil 5 is be oming a m nn e." said Judge
Man Sullivan of the juvenile court this
morning, "and we propose to put a
I stop to tins brand of lawlessness, aven
if we have to become severe in meting
out punishment
"The boy who believes he can vio
late the city ordinances, which are
laws of the fullest importance, will
soon get the notion that he can break
'other laws with impunity, and. If this
strain of thought is not eventually
checked, he will become a criminal
This, however, is not the worst feature
of petty crime, for there are frequent
accidents. Pedestrians are often
j obliged to step upon lawns at the edge
of the sidewalk on account of boys rid-
I ing tow ard them.
"The juvenile court will do its part
in suppressing this manner of viola
lions of law, and. if citizens will make
reports, we will Investigate eases. It
is the duty of parents to see to it that
their children do not violate these
laws. In many cases it is grown men
who violate the law by riding on the
walks because it is much more conven
ient than taking the street. It must
stop."
