$500, 900 PAWN SHOP ROBBERY
PULLED OFF IN NEW YORK
New York, March 1.-THE New
York police department, demoralized
by the graft Investigations, is up a
tree today following the robbery yes
terday of Martin Simons & Co.'s
pawnshop, located on the East Side.
Over 100000 worth of jewelry was
secured by the robbers in one Of the
most stupendous burglaries ever pull
ed off in New York
Two men are believed to have done
the job. They tunneled through
wall connecting the pawnshop with
another building and gained access
to the vault, containing hundreds of
thousands worth of jewelry, watches,
bonds and securities.
Only the most valuable diamonds
and other precious stones were
taken. Drawers in the safe had been
pulled out and $500, 900 worth of jew
elry was strewn about the floors. The
robbers had evidently taken their pick
of the stones, as they had plenty of
time to examine the entire stock.
Two pairs of heavy gloves and
some unmarked tools were the only
clues left by the robbers.

years. The old.time farm family
which used oxen for its farm work
was satisfied to go to bed after the
slow patient steers had been fed

occasionally want to drive into

Never again. then. will the great

' % g. ters.

In every eye there Ia q little SPOT
thai Ii totally blind. Young eyer, OLD
eyes. sharp eyes, dull eyes, blue,
brown or black eyes-all of them.
even the most perfect, have, In each
retina. n little round spot which is
wholly blind both to brightness and
color. This spot II located Just at the
point where the optic nerve centers,
and Is approximately one-twelfth Of
an Inch wide. Several interesting ex.
periments can be made to prove the
presence of this blind spot For ex
ample, cover the right eye with the
hand or a bandage and gaze with the
loft steadily at a point on the wall or
r about seven feet distant. Let
another person be seated against the
wall on your left-hand side, In such
q position that his forehead is on a
level with the point at which you are
gazing, and his nearer cheek about
twenty inches distant from 1t. Do not
turn your eyeball, but gaze steadily
as at first. and his face will entirely
disappear, and the wall will seem to
be perfeS tly blank. II you spread a
sheet of paper on the wall and note
the points Mt which a pencil moved
back and forth by another person ap-
pears and disappears. you will be able
to make an accurate map Of the blind
spot as projected on the wall. An.
other experiment IL performed by
painting nine large letters in three
vertical columns of three letters each,
upon a sheet Of paper at such a dis.
lance and in such a position before
the eye that the central letter of the
square falls within the blind spot,
while the surrounding eight letters
are still visible.-Christian Herald

sUREST TEST OF OLD AGE
Don't Look at Your Face for the Signs
Of Times March-Watoh
the Heart

Tho dear little old lady was Just
a. cross az she could be!
All because the o~ld-fashioned con.
ductor had said: BE careful. Watch
out grandma. Don't get on the car
till 1t stops"
1t was probably tho first time that
from the lips Of a stranger came the
verdict that the world had begun to
look upon her az an old lady.
She must have known that her
shoulders were q bit stooped-but oldf
No, not just In the primo Of life, and
the very idea Of that man calling out,
Watch out, grandma"
But after all, what matters what the
conductor said? There IL q rumor Of
inner consciousness that should tell
one II n 10 growing old. H
Don't look at your face to see II
age IL creeping on. Watch the heart.
Beware Of allowing care to make
crows feet there.
Oliver Wendell Holmes summed up
the philosophy Of life when he said,
I am seventy years young today
Every. birthday should SEQ ones heart
younger. The only way to keep from
growing old IL to keep growing young
The only time to begin growing young
is'before one begins to grow old.
3 There are mental attitudes and limp.

caused by selflshness and narrowness
much worse than those of rheumatism.

DON'T % IT

There comes a time in the history
IF every people when it becomes
their duty to rise above Eactional
strife and join hands for the pre-
servation. of their liberties. This
is also true in lesser matters tina,
effect the future welfare of a people.
Just now an organized effort is
being made in the legis lature to
fasten upon Nevada the curse of
licensed gambling. For two years
the click of the roulette wheel has
been silent in Nevada. There has
been no open percentage games,
such as cursed the state for wears.
During that time. :here has been
less of poverty, distress and crime
ard more happy homes than ever
before in this state.
While the present law may not
be perfect, it has accomplished much
good and should not he i n,,rfered
with by our Legislators unless it be
to make its terms clearer so that it
can be NOR e easily enforced.
No member of the legislature who
believes in protecting the youth of
the state car conscientiously sup
port a ure that would open the
avenues of crime. Gambling may
be inbred in the human race. but
there is no necessity Of opening a
school for teaching its vices to the
young. Instead let US curb this
innate passion for gambling by wise
and wholes me laws. Don't encour-
age the vice by Haunting it in the
face of the young.
Thsre should be a uni ted effort
in Nevada to defeat any meaures
that opens the door to vice. W en-
the present anti-gambline Jaw be-
cIme effective. the step took a long
step forward. The last in the
Union to set its seal of disapproval
on licensed gambling Nevada'should
not be the first st ate TO invite the
gambling fraternity to re-open
their business within it's borders.
No matter under what disguise
they come they breed poverty, dis
tress and crime.

The CA FOR MORE CATTLE

Sec retarysof Agriculture Wilson
emphasized a few days ago! he need
for more beef cattle. He argued
in particular that the south should
thus use some great idle tracts.
Any manwho has the enterprise
in this section or in any other to
start in the cattle industry with
the present high cost Of land, may
feel sure that prices will never 20
lower. G'sEs.
The spread of the irrigation
movement, the cutting up of Indisn
reservations and the ~parceling out
of railroad land have dealt SO heavy
a blow to cattle raising in the
northwest and southwest, that the
American people will be extremely
lucky if beef ever remains as low
rs the present high prices.

their readers to do their farm work

The changed mining conditions at the
mines of the Superior district IN 1913
from what they were tea years ago.
We know of no mining property in
Iron county but could use more men
than they now have could they get
them. What labor they do get, espec
ially in the newer and more outlying
districts. is OF an inferior type and not
as much ore can be produced with IL
as with the better class Of labor. In
some mines that we know of the over.
head expense must exceed the under
ground labor pay roll because the men
can not be got 70 work the property to
