SWEDISH LEGISLATORS
ARE UNABLE TO AGREE

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 4. - National
defense problems ATE keeping par
lament in session during the sum-
mer, because conservatives, liberals
and socialists are unable to unite on
a solution.
The socialists desire a decrease in
the present cost of maintaining the
defense. Conservatives and liberals
ARGUE for a larger appropriation, but
they are split on the navy program.
The conservatives want dreadnaughts
and the liberals a navy of lighter
draft vessels, especially adapted for
work in the Swedish archipelago.
The socialists are against the build
ing of any more warships at all.
Another cause of wrangling is the
proposed increase in the training
period of conscripts. The ~conserva-
tives are firm for extending the
eight months period to one year.
while the liberals will not concede
more than nine months and ten days.

GERMAN AVIATORS HOLD
RECORDS FOR DURATION

BERLIN, Aug. s. = German avi-
alton circles are expressing pride in
the part played by their c~ountrymen
in record-making in the last few
months. All the records were made
in German aeroplanes equipped with
German motors. The duration rec
ord has been bettered four times
this year by Germans. The first was
Bruno LANCER. who set the mark at
IA hours and z minutes on Febru-
airy g.. This mark was raised to Is
hours and 20 minutes on April &c by
the Frenchman Poulett, but on June
"a Basserman bettered this figure,
four days later Landmann raised it
once more. and then came Boehm
with the first 24-hour fight ever
made. Boehm still had gasoline
enough for two hours flying and was
comparatively fresh when he landed.
But for an approaching storm he
would have stayed up another half
hour.

RAISE STARTED
IN YELLOW TIGER
OPERATIONS In PROPERTY HAVE
REACHED INTERESTING
STAGE

Operations at depth in the prop
erty of the Yellow Tiger Mining
company, work on which was resum-
ed several months ago after a sus-
pension of several years, have reach
ed a stage where results of an i'm
portant character may reasonably be
expected. Under the supervision OF
Manager Charles D. Wilkinson, the
development work, which is being
confined for the present to the 700
foot level, is being vigorously prose-
cuted and highly encouraging condi-
lions prevail.
The work of cleaning up and re-
pairing the old 6O0-foot northeast
crosscut on the 7OO-foot level, which
proved an exceedingly difficult task
in consequence of the fact that the
ground had become very wet from
the water that stood in the working
for several years, was completed
about ten days ago, and Manager
Wilkinson thoroughly sampled the
northwest and southeast drifts on
the big vein, which measure about
sixty and forty feet, respectively, in
length from the crosscut. Low
grade quartz was found in each face,
and Manager Wilkinson is convinced
that the drifts have reached the
limits of that particular shoot of ore
in the vein. y
To explore the ore body on the dip
of the vein, a raise on it has been
started in the north drift near the
crosscut on six feet of quartz which
averages IS a ton for it's entire
width. The showing includes a me
foot streak of ore that assays around
500 a ton, much of which is being
saved. To facilitate operations,
Manager Wilkinson has recommend
ed to the company the installation of
a four-drill compressor and neces-
sary machines, and President Riedel
has assured him that they will be in
stalled in the near future.

SAYS AMERICAN PAINTERS
LACKING IN NATIONALISM

LONDON, Aug. American
painters lack nationalism: they are
content to initiate the French; their
one ideal is prettiness and often
preuiiness without meaning, accord
ing to some of the criticism passed
by British experts on a large and rep
resentative collection of American
art which has been on view in a gal
lery here. The one thing they find
to praise is what one critic terms the
high level of technical excellence"
Eliminating a half dozen paintings
of cowboy scenes. prairies and
skyscrapers. this critics declares "the
rest might we'll be an exhibition of
French pictures. and those better by
far than may be found in the Beaux
Arts. Nor is there any individual de-
velopment of French impulses. The
roots of American art are not fixed in
its own soil. but in Montparnasse."

LEVEL no CATCH ORE
BODY

To intercept the downward extern
sion of the ore shoot which gave such
an excellent account of itself on the
20O-foot level two mcntns age. Man.
ager Darcy of the Sandstorm-Ken-
dali Consolidated Mining company
has started a raise from the south
drift along the contact between the
Midtown andesite and the Sandstone
rhyolite on the 35O-foot level of the
property. The face of the drift has
reached a point where the extension
of the orebody, on its rake to south
should be disclosed and for that rea-
son the raise was started.
Manager Darcy is at present max
ing preparations to carry out the an
nounced plan of the company to sink
a winze from the 5OO-foot level to
catch the intersection of the vein
with the rhyolite and shale contact.
Following the cutting of a station
Just above the face of the east cross
cut on the level named and the in
stallation of an electric hoist, sinking
will begin. Drifting south along the
contact on the 100-foot level has
been temporary discontinued but like
work is still in progress on the 200
foot level. In all, AL feet of devel-
opment work was performed in the
property during July.

HAVE HARD TRIP
ON THE DESERT
MINING MEN MEET WITH TRYING
EXPERIENCES FROM HEAT
AND HUNGER

IL. r.. b6lIOIu VI Sdh
who is we'll known as a mining oper-
ator in the various Nevada camps and
elsewhere. came into Reno last night
from Nina with L. NJ. Lewis, another
mining man, after one of the most
trying experiences recorded on the
desert recently, in which the posi-
bility of death was not far removed,
says the Reno Journal.
Mr.. Bedford and Mr.. Lewis left
Fallon several days ago in a SO b.. p.
Pope-Hartford automobile to exam
inc some mining property in an iso-
lated part of the country out from
Goldyke and in the region of West
Vile, and they had all the troubles
that heat, punctures, ETC., could pro-
vide in a trip across the desert, final
lv resulting in their being without
food for nearly two days, down to
the last drop of water, and making
the last six miles of their run into
Nina on the rims of the wheels.
Il have travelled the desert or long
trips a good many times" said Mr..
Bedford last night at the Golden,
''but 1 never had any experience to
equal what Mr.. Lewis and I went
through on this one. Leaving Fall
lon we skirted out toward Fairview
but ten miles to n side of that
camp, and then toward Goldyke and
onward toward our destination. The
weather was so hot that we expert
enced a great deal of tire trouble,
but we finally arrived at the camp,
where there was supposed to be a
cache of grub and blankets, but
lee had beaten us to it and we
went to bed on the ground supper
less.
eve had made the trip for the
purpose of examining some property
so we made the examination next
morning and then started for Nina,
which was 125 miles away. The heat
was almost overpowering, and we
the full benefit of the sun, and
every breath of air was like a hot
blast out of a furnace.
"The trouble came in chunks. We
had nine inner tubes with us, and
when we used all of these up after
punctures we started to patch them,
but the weather was so hot the
patches would not stick. We only
made a few miles at a time without
a puncture or blowout from the
heat, and the tires began to give out,
too. Fifteen times We repaired
tubes and pumped up tires in the hot
sun, and sometimes we became SO
exhausted that we would lie down
in the shade of the machine to re-
cover from the dizziness that over
came us. We had only a small bag
of water when we started, and this
rapidly became exhausted from use
and evaporation in the sun.
"All day long we were without
food, and had not had any since leav-
ing Fallon on the first day. BY he
roic efforts we finally reached Nina
that night, but we made the last
six miles on the rims of the wheels,
as every tube we had was exhausted.
"Of course we were nearly dead
when we finally reached Nina, but
we were at least safe once more, and
7 have made myself a solemn promise
that I will remain safe from now on,
so far as making any more trips OF
that kind in hot weather is con-
cerned."

Gold Basis for Nevada

j. w. Davey of the Reno clearing

the fact that there is no more de-

be no necessity for the issuance of
clearing house certificates. Nevada
will therefore remain on a gold basis
unless an emergency arises.

Lumber Industry Employs a Million Men

Striking facts regarding our forest re-
sources, their value and their waste,
are condensed in an eight-page illus
trated circular Of the American forestry
association just issued. The lumber
industry is said to employ 5000
people, to whom are paid annually
1867, 100000 in wages, the worth Of
products being $1,250,000,000. The
forests OF the country cover 550,000,-
900 acres.
An average Of 70 human lives are
sacrificed annually in forest fires, says the
circular, and loss occurs of $25. 000,-
900. Damage from insects and tree
diseases, which follow fire, cost each
year, $50, 100000. The cost of de-
struction resulting from floods is not
estimated, but is given as countless
millions"
But the circular expresses hope more
than pessimism. AS we'll as the col
ored pictures showing the forest fire,
the effects of the fire, and the damage
caused by floods, it shows also forests
planted and grown under intensive
management, and the national forest
ranger scouting for fires on the noun
tain lookout station. The effective
patrol here referred to has reduced
forest fire losses to as low as one-tenth
of one cent an acre. 1t is pointed
out that by planting forests an annual
income could be derived in the country
of SOS, 100000 and by preservative
treatment upon timber each year 500,
100000 could be saved.

Auto Licenses are Due This Month

This is the last month before auto
mobile licenses become delinquent,
and License Clerk Charles A. Foster,
of the office of Secretary of State L.
M. Howell, is anxious that owners oil
machines throughout the state begin
to take out their licenses for the en-
suing year now, so as to prevent the
rush about the last Of the month.
With nearly $4,000 motor vehicles
in the state and hundreds of new cars
coming in at this time, Clerk Foster
has a gigantic task in issuing the lie
enses. Applications for 200 were re-
ceived from various parts Of the state
Saturday, and every mail brings a con-
siderable number. Last year much
delay was experienced by autoists in
getting their licenses because of the
rush at the close of the month of May,
and the Office is anxious to prevent
this difficulty as nearly as possible. :

SOLDIERS IN BATTLE.
Standing Motionless Under Fire 10 .
Most Terrifying Ordeal.

Every one of us must have won
dered how he would feel in battle
for the first time. We may get
some idea of how the average man
feels under such circumstances from
study of the psychology of battle,
published in Italy. Lieutenant Colo
mel Mangiarotti of the Seventy-sev-
enth infantry carefully examined
more than 1900 soldiers who first
faced fire in the war between Italy
and Turkey, and he summarizes
their statements in the Rivista Mill
tare. He questioned them one by
one.
Out of 1000 men 1,700 confessed
that their most trying moment in
the whole campaign was when they
first heard hostile bullets whistle
about their ears. But almost all of
them said they were much less
frightened than they had expected
to be and that the scare diminished
with each battle.
The average soldier finds the
most terrifying position to be that
of standing motionless in the front
rank, exposed to the enemy's fire
without being able to reply. The
order to advance or to charge with
fixed bayonets is then received as
release from agony. Movement,
even into greater peril, distracts the
mind and greatly reduces the men
tai anguish.
Soldiers are seriously affected by
the trembling of their superiors.
An officer who shakes in his shoes
is coward in the eyes of the rank
and file, although the men know
that many military heroes-Henri
~, Turenne and Frederick the
Great, for instance-trembled on
going into fight.
Colonel Mangiarotti says that Of
fcers must understand this feeling.
This is especially true for lieuten-
ants, for this inquiry reveals the
fact that in battle all officers from
captains upward are nonexistent SO
far as the common soldiers are con-
cerned. They keep their eyes on
their leutenants exclusively. This
was brought out when Colonel Man
giarotti asked the men what senti-
ment animated them when the bull
lets were falling all around them
was it love of country, religion,
their oath of fidelity to their king?
81 went ahead" they replied al
most unanimously, because my
lieutenant went ahead.'
1t seems that once the battle is
on and the first feeling of terror
has vanished soldiers feel as if set
free. The fever of combat takes
possession of them, and they think
about nothing else.

Merchant Talks to Editors on the
Value of Advertising

taught Waitl Hear me out! To do
this-sto publish copy written in old
Egyptian language dead for 1000
years-would be idiotic. Why7 Sim
ply because it would not be under

do this every day.
Advertising copy which is written
to display facts or ideas about goods,
should be so clearly and simply writ

words, phrases and sentences are be.
fore him he should look straight
through them to the meaning behind
them. No reader of an advertisement
is obliged to read it. He is not paid
to read it. The act is purely volun-
tary one on his part. The minute you
make him work to get your meaning
you are apt to lose him as reader.
Importance of Newspaper Advertising
The importance of newspaper adver-
Using for every class of business needs
no extended argument. 1t occupies
relatively the same place in business
economy as a sales force, the purpose
of both being to make a sale. 1t is
generally conceded legitimate to spend
Q per cent Of gross sales for newspaper
advertising and that will buy goodly
number Of newspaper inches to tell the
people how good our merchandise is.
No successful merchant can afford to
neglect his advertising. We can CO.
operate with our newspaper in telling
the public that we have such and so at
this and that price and we can in our
own way get the confidence Of the peo-
pie if we just let them know that we

really want their business, and the
weekly newspaper is the most valuable
advestising medium we have Tor doing
this.
Consider carefully the merits OF your
local paper. If it does not come up
to the scratch and the editor or the
proprietor is a dead one" take small
space but use it every week and change
copy for each issue. II the paper is
alive and has the confidence Of the
people and a proper circulation use it
literally, inserting good sized ads every
week. Common sense advertising does
not mean merely SO much space used
in the telling about the business. 1t
doesn't mean altogether a carefully ar
ranged display Of white space. No,
not for a minute. A common sense
advertisement means telling the people
something OF interest about what you
have to offer, things you know about
your merchandise that they should
know, things you know will interest
them in order to make advertising pay.
