u. S. GIRL Offers CUP
OF Youth TO EUROPE
Musty Old World Bows Admiringly to
Attractive and Refreshing In
vaders from America.
UNEQUALED AS HOSTESSES
Special Cable to The Washington Herald.


London. July 1.-THE Daily Graphic
contains a remarkably eulogistic and
hattering article of how The Girl from
America" has captured all the strong
holds of ''frigid English society" not by
the insidious influence of the almighty
dollar which might have opened the way
into certain sections of the fashionable
world a generation ago, but by her own
sterling qualities"
Continuing, the writer says:
1T is a matter of common knowledge
that ten years ago the fair American who
wished to know the right set in this
country was prepared to pay handsomely
for the necessary introduction: today she
is persona Erata with the most exclusive
circles, may be found at the cream of
society dances, and is among the leaders
in the sacred cause of charity"
The writer proceeds TO record a CONVEX
sation he had with a woman moving in
the most exclusive set. She says:
There is something peculiarly refresh
ing and attractive about the typical
American girl. I" " She brings to this
musty old world something of the broad,
open atmosphere OF her own country. Her
personality today is something far more
Anglicized and there is an ever-Growing
tendency to regard her more as sister
than as a cousin. You can tell her any
where by her figure and her dress. The
American girl has proved her fitness to
mix with the best people, and she has
come to stay.
"As a hostess the American woman
has no peer Much of her ability in this
line is traceable to the influence of Mrs.
Page, who is a past mistress in the art
of entertaining"
The names of other Incompatible host
csses are given, including the following
well-known American peeresses: The
Duchess of Manchester. the Duchess of
Roxburghe. the Marchioness OF Anglesey.
the Marchioncss of Dufferin and Ava. the
Countess of Craven, the Countess of

Paris, July 1.-THE year OF the Naza-
rine era. 1914 will surely go down in the
annals OF fashion as that in which there
was the greatest fuctuation in design. In
consistenctes are nothing nowadays; it
is the dressmakcr's business to reconcile
them and to convert them into consist
encies. Thus the art OF clothing ones
self ConventionaIly. and vet not too con-
vcntionally. becomes more and more diff
icult-from the artists point of view.
At the same time that there is a group
inC movement for the reinstatement Of
crinoIinc. TO re-enforce the increasing
taste for greater fulncss in skirts, We are
beginning also TO witness the reappear-
ance Of waists Of exaggerated sIimness.
which may again bring into play the
similc of the wasp in those descriptive
satires that treat more or less of fenin-
inc lovoliuess.
The cxaEEcration in the few cases that
I have seen is extreme. As to crinoIine
recent ball given by the Duchess de
Grammont which was. in fact, an eX-
hihitiOn Of the modes OF the late SOS and
early Sos. did much to aCcentuate the re-
dictionary tendency.

ENGLISH TAXICAB
DRIVERS FOR BERLIN
Innovation Tried by Companies for
Convenience of Tourists Hotel
Men Look for Good Season.

SpecisI Cable to The Washington Herald.
Berlin. July l1.-With a view primarily
to the convenience of American tourists
Police President Won JagOw some TIM
ago installed a number of English speak
ing policemen at the various prominent
corners of the downtown section
The experiment proved so successful
that number of English-spaaking chauf-
feurs have been engaged by the taxicah
companies. Most of them understand the
language well enough to follow tourists
directions and as the American travellers
appreciation is apt to take the form of a
large tip the rest is mutually satisfactory.
The taxi linguists, by consent of the
police, are permitted to wear American
and English flags embroidered on their
sleeves as a distinguishing mark They
are required to keep as much as possible
in the hotel district.
There has been lull in tourist ac-
tivity during the past fortnight, but Ber-
lin hotel men are pinning their hopes of a
successful season on the fall months
when the homeward tide sets in from the
South German and Austrian health re-
sorts.

Inquiry Caused by Growing De-

London, July 1l.-As a result of the in
creasing demand in Great Britain and the
United States for meat from Australia
and South America, and the likelihood OF
a similar development on the continent.
there is a big inquiry for steamers with
refrigerated accommodation.
1t is almost impossible TO cope with the
growing requirements, although no fewer
than 22g vessels, with a cold storage ca
pacity of nearly half a million tons, are
already in service. A large amount of
tonnage is in course of construction and
it is expected that most Of the boats will
be placed on the Buenos Ayres-New York

Berlin, July l1.-New York comic opera
managers will have a fine array OF Euro
pean novelties to select from in the COM
ing fall, so keen has become the rivalry
for the big prizes in the comic opera
field. All the better known German and
Austrian composers are working over
time.
Franz Lehar, of Merry Widow" fame,
is finishing two new works, Where the
Lark Sings" and Alone at Night" Oscar
Strauss, his most dangerous rival, has
just completed two new operas. For
Loves Sake" and The Beautiful Un-
known Leo Fall has also written two.
The roundup of other better known
composers shows that at least a dozen
are writing one a piece. Managers here
say there has never been a time in Ger
many when competition in the pro-
duction of light opera musical comedies
was so keen.

that tighten the bonds which make
the home secure. No wife has seen

THE PLUMBING ORDINANCE

Editor Independent:
In replying to your c. iticism of
the plumbing ordinance. regarding
the 4-inch vent, 1 will say that
large vent pipes have an advantage
over small vent pipes, especially
where some contr actors use SO
much hot air. / have had to put
in 4-inch vents for some contract
ors here in Elko because they con-
sidered a 4-inch vent better than q
2-inch. Mr.. John Yowell's house
has a 4-inch vent and others in FL
ko. have the same.
The sewer trap now in use at the
property line has been done away
with in other places, because the
trap being so far away from the
fixture collects grease and throws
gases out around the yard. A 4-inch
vent, used on all cottage work, is
sufficient without the trap now in
use. Vent pipes should be consid-
ered as stove pipes. Reduced to a
Pinch pipe it will not have the
same draft that a 4-inch pipe has.
The extra expense does not amount
to very much and if other things
are provided with this 4-inch pipe
it is none to gord for Elko.
There is a provision made iu the
ordinance that where this sized
pipe cannot be put in a 2.inch
pipe will do, which, of course, is
nothing more than good judgment.
The ordinance is broad enough for
the future Elko as we'll as for the
present.
Respectfully,
s. R. Hunt.

THE WESTERN
PACIFIC PAYROLL

We wonder if any of our people
have ever stopped to think of the
amount of money paid to the resi-
dents OF Elko by the Western Pa
citic in 1913 and the benefit the
railroad is to the town. While
thinking along this line yesterday,
we called on Chief Clerk Wheeler
and asked him for the amount paio
to residents of the town and the
amount of the compaDy's pay roll
in the county.
In response to the request, he
furnished the following figures:
In 1913, the Western Pacific paid
to actual residents of Elko $685..
33i.60. Not a dollar Of this was
paid to extra men running out of
Elko who maintained homes else
where. Every dollar of it went to
men whose homes are here. That
money was mostly spent in town
and helped to make the wheels 60
round.
In the county last year the pay
roll of the company amounted to
SITS. $4,000. A snug sum to 60
into the channels of trade in Elko
county in one year from a single
source.
While this is q splendid showing
we hope that the company's bust.
ness will be such this year that it's
payroll in the town and county
will show a big increase over last
year. We also hope that the peo-
pie of Elko county will give the
Western Pacific, at least, a fair
share of their patronage.

he had been getting work for the
men along the road wherever men
were wanted. but that most Of
them would not work. He also
said that he was planning to dis
band the outfit as he could not
care for them. His plan is to get
them to Salt Lake and nave them
arrested and put in Jail. Then for
the officers to turn them out a few
at a time. In this way they would
scatter ard not get together again.
While we have been opposed to
any consideration being shown
these men, the course taken by
Sheriff Harris in handling them is
the best and cheapest that could be
taken. If driven out of here hun
CRY they would doubtless cause
trouble in the smaller places along
the railroad and be a much heavier
expense to the county.
The men are mostly young fell
lows, their average age being be.
tween 20 and 80 years. They bath
ed in the hot water, after which a
few of the u cooked the mulligan
and cleaned the tin cans taken to
them to eat out of. The rest
stretched themselves on the ground

Everyone expects q gala evening.
The boys have put . lot Of hard
work into this shos and hope the
people of Elko will approsch them
in the same spirit Of unadulterated
fun in which the show 10 intended.
There will be plenty of catchy
music and the jokes will come
thick and fast. Joe Piunkett has
lost nothing Of his old time yiSor
and freshness. So come with your
laughing apparatus loosened up and
whistle the tunes if you want too.
There will be three parts to the
show. The first part will be a good
old Minstrel first part, the second
part will. consist of lots of chorus
girls and fancy dancing. Keep the
aisles free 40 the girls can cake
walk without interference. The
third part will bring back memoir
les of the old plantation specialties
and melodies.
All the boys want is that everyone
shall have a good time and 60 home
without any bitterness in their
hearts. They are not trying to
outshine anyone but just provide
a pleasant evening. Come before
10 p. N. or you will miss some
thing. The rule will be enforced
to the letter-that is no one will be
seated after the curtain rises on the
first part.
