NO DAY LETTERS
BY POSTAL CO.
MAcKAY ASSERTS SERVICE is so
PROMPT AS TO MAKE THEM
UNNECESSARY

New York, Feb. 27.-President
Clarence H. Mackay, president of the
Postal Telegraph-Cable company, in
an announcement made today, in re-
gard to the Western Unions proposed
day letter service, says:
"The Postal gives such fast day
service that there is no occasion for
any deferred service. Besides, we are
not a deferred company. We rush
our traffic through to destination,
within a few minutes from the time
it is handed to us. We do not be-
lieve the public has any use for a
deferred day service, because the
present day service and night letter
grams service seem to be amply SUI
ficient. And we do not think there
is any demand for an intermediate
service, which would be no dlnerent
from the night lettergram service In
its practical working. Deferred day
service would get mixed with our
regular day business and would ham
per and delay it. Fast service is what
the public wants, not deferred or
slow service"

as the first community in which a
chicken had ever been stolen from a
colored gentleman by a gent of the
Caucasian race. The liking of the
negro race for white meat and drumb

and the colored man has been ac-
cused ever since the days of Ham of

Reeves to put the reverse English
on this well established practice.
Yesterday morning he was caught in
the act of raiding the roost of w.

Methodist Episcopal church.
''Pahson, dere's some 'un in yo

The parson hurried to the hen

upon dozen high grade eggs, had
disappeared. Tracks were seen in
the mud and snow. Following these

"Star whar yo is" commanded the
parson. Use got nah eyeball fixed

he send for officer Kelly, who took
Reeves in charge. Reeves this morn

and didn't know what he was doing.
He said he didn't believe he stole a
chicken. He got thirty days in the
county Jail, which will prolong his
stay here about twenty-nine days, as
he is a gentleman Of travel and had
intended spending only brief time
in this city while seeing the places

A REALISTIC STUNT
HORRIFIED AUDIENCE
PATROL OF BOY SCOUTS SPRING
"FAKE" ACCIDENT DURING
GYMN CARNIVAL

By pulling off a clever stunt the
Las Vegas patrol of the Boy Scouts
Saturday night Mortified, pleased and
scared an audience in the Y. M. c..
A. gymnasium. Two basketball
teams, made up of boys, half Of whom
were dressed as girls, had engaged
in big contest. Suddenly Kenneth
Stewart, one Of the players, let out
an awful yell and declared his leg
had been broken. A doctor was
summoned. He gave Stewart two
hypodermic injections.
Then he drew out saw and carved
off his leg. The grating of the doc
tors saw on the boys leg made a
blood curdling sound. Women tainted
.almost-and strong men blanched-,
pretty near. Then Stewart was carried
off on a stretcher. But what was
Las Vegas optic., 1911-02-27

that lying on the floor? A boys leg
covered with blood and clad in stock
ing and gym shoe. Quite realistic!
The stunt was performed this way.
Frank Roberts, who impersonated the
doctor, had in his satchel a piece
of tin covered with black cloth. 1t
was on this he worked with his saw.
bringing out the rasping sound. He
had also in his grip form of hui
man leg and foot. This he cleverly
substituted for Stewards limb while
the latter drew his leg up under him
and kept it concealed while he was
being placed on the stretcher.
This was one of the features OF
an entertainment given by the scouts
to swell their treasury. The Business
Men played game of volleyball and
the Seniors put up one of the classiest
contests seen here in some time. The
was a success. It was
planned by Scoutmaster George Fitz-
simmons.

Miscellaneous Cases


A live wire may be safely cut with
hatchet or an AK with a dry wood
en- handle. The current may be
short circuited by throwing a crow
bar or any metal tool across it. If
there is victim on the wire the
short circuiting must be done be-
tween him and the electrical supply.
With rubber gloves, macintosh or
rubber sheeting as a nonconductor it
is safe to take hold of a man lying
on a live wire and drag him off. Sew
eral thicknesses of silk are effective,
or even a dry cloth. A woolen cap
is good. In doubtful cases the insu-
lation should be aided by standing
on a dry board or on newspapers. II
the wire is under the patient and the
ground is dry, it is safe to stand on
the ground and pull him off the wire
with the bare hands, touching only
his dry clothing. A wire lying on
victim may be safely flipped off with
a dry board or stick. Use artificial
respiration.
Where arteries or veins are sever
ed a patient may bleed to death be-
fore doctor arrives. Immediate ac-
ton is necessary. Life depends on
it. If the blood flows in jets it is
from an artery and is most severe.
Find the artery between the wound
and the heart and bring pressure to
bear on it. Dig, vigorously into the
mans muscles, feeling for pulsing
artery. When that artery is found
press it between your finger and a
bone. The blood will be shut off as
will the water in hose when you
stand on it. This gives an opportun-
ity for the formation of clot in the
artery below the pressure point. If
you grow tired, knot handkerchief
about the limb, causing the knot to
press on the artery. Bleeding from
veins may be stopped by bandaging
them tightly. Never touch a wound
with the fingers where this can be
avoided, as infection may take place.
The nearest thing to antiseptic band
ages procurabIe should always be
used.
Broken limbs should always be
splintered in place before an injured
person is moved. Do not allow any
movement at the point of injury, or
the bone points will lacerate the
flesh. To determine when a mem
ber is in its proper position compare
it with its fellow on the opposite side.
Dislocated fingers may be slipped in
to place by pulling on them, but other
dislocations are too complicated for
the unframed.
All these things are but a smat-
tering of the first aid information that
is being formulated, simplified and
given out by the first aid to the in
jured branch of the Red Cross in its
campaign for more efficient preven-
tion and treatment of accidents.

Auction Selling In Japan.

Sealed bids are used in auctioring
property in Japan. There is no shout
ing. The auctioneer announces to the
audience that he has such and such
a piece of property for sale and in
vites bids. Those who wish to bid
write their bids and names on slips of
paper The paper is folded and placed
in box. When the auctioneer sees
no more bids coming he opens the box
and sorts out the bids. The highest
bid takes the property. 1t is like a
bond sale-no one knows what his
neighbor bids. If bidder Is anxious
to get the property be will not put in
small offer. On the contrary, he
will very likely bid all the property is
worth. For this reason an owner new
er puts up his property for auction
unless he wants to sell it.-New York

THE WORD BUNGALOW"
II Comes From the Hindi eanJls,
Meaning a Thatched Hut.

Meaning Thatched Hut.
The word bungalow is an Anglo-ln-
dian version of the Hindi bangla.
which primarily means Bengali. or
of Bengal. and is also applied to a
matched hut, says Country Life In
America Ii may be worth while to
explain how this trivial and merely To-
cal name came to be fixed on the Eng
lishmans house in India.
Early residents there engaged in mil
itary. administrative or trading duties
lived nomadic life for the greater
part of the year in tents. And since
there was nothing in the indigenous
buildings of Bengal suited to their re-
quirements their first dwelling houses
designed by themselves and built of
materials at site. were naturally plan
ned on the model of the Indian Serv-
ice tents to which they were accus-
tomed-that is. Il large and lofty room
surrounded by double walls of canvas
inclosing space between them. with
partitions at two or more corners for
bath or store rooms.
1t is probably. indeed. that in the
beginning the tent itself was occasion
ally covered with the sun proof thatch
or bangla. The name and the thatrh
were all that were taken, and now
the origin of the name is forgotten
even by most Indians who accept the
resonant. trisylabic bungalow as the
Englishman's own name for his own
peculiar house.
