LAWYERS BELIEVE
 RAILROAD VICTIM
 LEAD DOUBLE LIFE
Hold Up Administration of Estate of Trainman Pend
 ing Inquiry.

That George H. Shelton, a former employe Of the New Haven road who was killed in the roads employ, was leading a double life. Is the contention of railroad attorrfeys who shave asked Judge Miller of the pi obate court to delay powers of administra ton until they can establish whether or not Shelton lived with woman in Bridge port, who was known as his wife, at the same time he had a wife living in Hartford.
 Shelton was a brakeman on the rail- road and was killed at East Port Chester, N. Y, Sept. 3. 1914. Recent ly a New York lawyer came to the probate office and filed the applica- ten of Helen May SheIpon oI 5art- ford. who claims to be the widow, for papers of administration for Walter H. Shelton. of Tonawanda, Pa, a brother of the deceased. This action was pre- lifninary to an action to recover conn pensation from the railroad under a Federal act Soon after this apphca- ton was filed Helen May Sheltcn wrote the Judge Miller saying she had rot signed the application to have her brother-ir-law appointed adnlinistra- tor. She asked that she be named as adrninistra triK.
 The railroad attorneys have asked Judge Miller to take no acton in the matter until they can estab blisa witeth- CT or not shelton lived with a woman in this city who was known as his wife. Judge Miller is awaiting their report

The Ancient Greeks Used It, as Did
 Also MichaeIaneeIo.
 Terra cotta means literally baked earth. It is usually employed as though it meant only architectural or naments made of baked clay. Yet Michelangelo made statues of it, the Japanese use it cleverly painted as limitation bronze" for busts. tea jars and bowls, and the ancient Greek chil- dren had terra cotta dolls with nov able legs fastened by wooden pegs
 In the trade today pieces of clay work for architectural ornament over eight inches square are called terra cotta. Under that size they are called ornamental brick.
 The famous Della Robbia ware of Italy was of terra cotta covered with opaque enamel and painted. England used it much. From the time of Hen ry VIII. it was popular in large build ings, and since Queen Anne's day it has been used for ornamenting smaller houses.
 Terra cotta can be produced in va riety of colors, and, while rains leave stone surfaces dingier, they brighten surfaces made of the clay. It is as durable as stone; it can be produced in more shades and colors; it can be mold ed into a great variety of designs: it can be given more delicate outlines than stone; it is lighter than stone.- New York Telegram

IRE PREVENTION DAY FOR SCHOOLS
 TO COME OCT. 3

Hartford. Sept. 1o.---A prooelanla- a tion for fire prevention e/sy on Fri Fri day. October s. was issued by Gov ernor Holcomb today. The document says in part:
 s'In the last I2 years fire waste in this country has averaged over one- fourth of a billion dollars or per capita loss eight or nine times as large as in any of the more adyanc- ed nations of Europe Most of the loss is due to neglect and careless ness in little matters. The law can not effectively do away with such causes Only an awakened public sentiment can. To bring home to. the minds and consciences of the cft1- zens of the state. and to educate the children to the needs and proper methods of preventing the waste the General Assem- b1y directed that a day be set aside to be known as fire pre- vention day and I. therefore, set apart Friday, October 8. and request that the people of that day to con sifIeration of the means by which they can prevent the setting of fires.

Raindrops.

Drops of rain vary in their size per haps from twenty fifth to a quarter of an inch in diameter. Tn parting from the clouds they precipttate their descent. till the increasing resistance opposed by the, air becomes equal to their weight, when they continue to fall with uniform velocity. This ve- locity is therefore in a certain ratio to the diameter of the drops; hence thunder and other showers in which the drops are large pour down faster than drizz1ing rain. A drop of the twenty-dfth part of an inch in falling through the air would, when it had ar lived at it's uniform velocity, acquire a celerity of only eleven and a half feet per second, while one of quarter of an inch would have a velocity of thir- ty-three and half feet.

From what we have noticed in
the Churchill county papers from
time to time it is quite evident
that Churchill county still has a
hankering for that portion of
Lyon county which contains the
rich little Fernley farming COM
munity and a considerable por-
ton of the Southern Pacific main
line and the Hazen-Churchill
cutoff. We have as yet seen no
good reason given for making a
change of boundaries that will
accomplish this act. In connec-
ton with this matter we notice
that Churchill county has secured
member on the Committee or
Counties and County Boundaries
in the Assembly of the present
Legislature, which may be a ster
towards getting a favorable re-
port on such measure should
it be introduced. There is nc
good reason why Churchill county
should be given any of Lyon,
valuable territory, and our mem
bers will to we'll to watch for any
move of this kind

Editor Dickerson, of the Neva-
ola Democrat, is out for a Con-
stitutional Convention for the
State of Nevada. 1t is no new
proposition to many old Neva-
dams, nor does he advocate any
new reasons that we observe
The Times has been advocating
the calling of a Constitutional
Convention for just about a
quarter of century past. We
are still of the belief that it is
the main thing to do to curtail
the expense of running the State
and county governments, and we
hope that the Democrat will be
more influential in bringing about
the move than the Times has.

The price of flour has reached
81 per hundred. This is not sur
prising with wheat on the way to
the s. mark. OF course these
prices are due to the demand for
wheat abroad on account of the
war. 1t is just a little question
able whether this situation will
beneficial to this country or not.
The advanced price of wheat will
be good thing for the farmer
but there are many families who
cannot afford to use much -four
at 81 per hundred with jobs as
scarce as they are for the head of
the family.
