INCREASED OUTPUT
OF WHITE ARSENIC

Uncle Sam produced more white
arsenic in 1912 than ever before, the
output for last year being 3,141 short
tons, valued at $19O,757 against 1882
short tons, valued at $73,40s, in 1911,
according to a report on the subject
by Frank l.. Hess, just issued by the
United States Geological Survey. The
imports in 1912 were also the largest
on record, amounting to more than
6,156 short tons, valued at 1923, 741.
against 4,096 short tons, valued at
$247 1923, in 1911. Ihe only white
arsenic produced in the United States
was that made as a by-product of
smelling operations.
White arsenic is used principally in
glass making and in the manufacture
of Paris green, lead a~rsenate and 9th
er insecticides. With the growth of
horticulture and the necessarily great
er attention paid to killing insect
pests, the demand for arsenical in
sectieides has grown immensely. Ex-
periments conducted by a number of
the state agricultural experiment sta
tions have demonstrated the value of
arsenic when combined with lime as
an effective spray against insect pests,
while arsenic solutions have been
found Of considerable value when used
as a dip for cattle and sheep.
A number of arsenic salts and
oxides are used incidentally, among
them the bromide, iodide, trisulphide.
trioxide, sodium arsenate and potas-
stun a~rsenate. Disulphide of arsenic,
both natural and artificial, is used as a
paint pigment; in calico printing and
dyeing; in tanning; and, as it burns
with an intense white light, in fire
works. Orpiment, the trisulphide,
called also kings yellow, is used as a

A LEARNED JUDGE
He Compares the Modern Woman
With the Old Fashioned One

Yesterday Judge John A Perry
of the Denver district court heard
an insurance suit growing out OF
the death of Miss Wheeler, daugh-
ter of New York man, who was
drowned inBowle's lake. near Den
yer last June. Denver women are
shuddering over some of his foolish
sensational remarks. For this court
intimated that smoking by women
is not degrading, and that "even a
swig of the bottle is not token of
depravity."
Other remarks made by Judge
Perry during this same insurance
case might be studied. He says
woman is better off today than
she ever was just as society is bet.
ter. am not one of those who re-
gret woman's advancement, crying

While Elko is proud of her victory,
she bears the scars of conflict
which, instead of being sanguiDary,
are financial.
The financial part of the trausac-
tion, as in all kinds of modern
warfare, is an aftermath of the
fight. The town of Elko is now
called upon to guarantee $4,000 in
cold cash. before the $40, 200 appro-
priated by the state is available.
That is the price this county is call
ed upon to pay for its great victory

~ STORE ROBBED
Finger and Shoe Prints viii
Help Toward an Arrest

This morning sometime between
1890 and o'clock the Wheeler Co.'S
Pool room was entered and robbed
of some articles in value about
$50. The thief entered through a
@gindow in the back of the hall and
pushing aside a screen crept to
the front of the building.
That the job was the work of one
thoroughly familiar with the store
and its stock is apparent. He knew
where the money left in the store
over night was hidden. At once
he found $40. Crossing to small
show case he p-ied it openss and took

fond of jewelry he also helped him
F2lf to a fine pair of diamond cuff
links worth $25. In his pocket he
laced a SO Smith and Wesson re-
volver, also taken from the store.
Slender finger prints were left
on both window pane, now in
possession Of the police and on a
show case. A shoe print made
from new No shoe was another
bit of helpful evidence. Strong
suspicious are held as to who the
guilty man is, and an arrest is ex-
pectod shortly.

| DANIEL GONE
- TO JUDGMENT"
.ehator Smoot of Utah Plans to
Rob Garbage Can" of Millions
Every Year

Senator Smoot has a new plan to
Feduce the cost of living, which he
sclosed this week at Washing ton.
Chis most unique, practical plan
sM Mhopes to have Congress adopt
cOhtending that it would cost the
United States about 100000 an
nually. The saving to the house
wives would be millions.
The Senator intends TO re-intro-
d1ce his bill, and have $40, 600 ap-
propriated annually to each state
and territory. This money will he
used through agriculture expert
sment stations in experiments and
Research in home economies. The
results of these experiments are to
be printed, and distributed in each
state and territory.
In the words of the Senator
Such legislation would rob the
American garbage can of millions
of dollars annually by teaching
young girls how to purchase, prop
erly prepare, and cook food, and
how to utilize the food that is left
over.
"If had a dozen daughters" he
said, "and was able to give each of
Shem million dollars the day of
her marriage, | would still want
each one to know how to cook,
make her own clothes, and in fact,
be superior houskeeper."
The Independent sincerely hopes
that Senator Shoots bill passes.
The problem of the high cost of
living, is often the problem of Iiv-
ing high, due sometimes to a lack
OF economy in the home and on
the part Of some housewives who
are MSsuperior housekeepers."

Mr.. Mahoney says that once
the franchise is granted work
will commence on the project at
once. 1t is proposed to run the
track north and south on Aspin-
wall street and east and west on
Third and Cherry streets, prac-
tically betting the city.
The sooner this project mat
ures the better. The Santa Fe
shops are more than a mile out,

the men working out there,
walking there and back twice 9

railway.
