Chance fer the Battered.

An ancient, storm-battered British
trawler. with leaking sides and worn
out engine, is worth more to the owner
these days than a new spick and span
craft with equipment, a dry hold and
fast engines. Similarly the one-eyed
skipper. who had hard time getting a
job before the war is in more demand
than one without physical defect.
The reason for this is that all serv.
iceable trawlers and able-bodied skip
pers are snapped up by the admiralty.
Meantime, owing to the shortage of
craft, the old tubs and their derelict
masters are making a fortune in fish
ing. 1t is true, they engage in a risky
business and run the chance Of both
mines and submarines. but the reward
for good catch is several times that

PREPAREDNESS PARADES

Not since the Civil war has the
spirit of '76 been abroad in the land
as now. The great parades in our
large cities were needed to show the
world, and no less ourselves, that our
patriotism is only sleeping for want
of an occasion to awaken it. One
young man, visiting Chicago on the
day of the parade and not intending to
participate, on seeing the great dem
onstration fell in line and marched
the entire distance. He remarked to
me, II felt must declare my patriot
ism, and came out of the parade with
an entirely new and enlarged concep-
ton of what my country has done for
me. and an increased appreciation of
my duty to it," The simple fact is
that since the retirement of our
Fourth of July orators. now a good
many years remote. there had actual
ly been nothing in his daily life to
arouse patriotism The Spanish war
did TO some extent but this young
man of 25 today was only a small boy
then.
To many the most impressive feat
ure in the preparedness parade in Chi
cago was not the great number, nor
the large representation of women,
both young and middle-aged, but
rather the splendid marching For
ten hours these civilians, thousands OF
whom had never before marched in
public procession. swung past with
even lines and correct step; and with
only few halts in all that time, and
these of only few seconds duration.
That these unframed thousands were
able to do this, is at least encouraging
as to what these men and women
could do in case of emergency and
under the instruction of a drillmaster
Moreover. the demonstration was
thoroughly democratic, as presidents
of banks and captains of industry
whose names are known in every
state marched shoulder to shoulder
with their own soldiers of industry
expressing an equal loyalty to a COM
mon cause. And every marcher car

COMMISSION ASKS R. R.
employees TO RECONSIDER

In resolution adopted Thursday
by the Nevada State Railroad Commits
sion, railroad employees are asked to
reconsider their action in refusing TO
submit their differences with the rail-
road companies to a board of arbitra-
ton and thus prevent the threatened
strike of 100000 railroad employees in
the United States
The question of a strike has been
put upu to the employees and ii is said
fully 9S per cent have voted to strike
The final votes are expected to be in
by August /.
Following is the resolution:
Whereas. employees in train, engine
md ward service on the railroads of
he United States have made de-
mands on the managements for
changes in their working schedules.
which demands have been declined
but with an offer by the arrangements
10 arbitrate. The employees have re-
fused 80 arbitrate and are now voting
70 determine whether or not TO au-
thoriZe the calling Of a general strike.
The railroads are public servants and
their operation is essential to the pub
lie welfare. A general strike, with all
the hardships. waste. suffering and
loss that would follow from demoral-
izatiOn of the service. is at once seri-
GUS TO contemplate and is intolerable
The principles of arbitration are rec
ognized and approved by all civilized
nations and peoples and arbitration
is regarded the most effective method
for securing fair. peaceful and eduit-
able adjustments to all concerned.
With no attempt to express judg-
ment on the merits Of the controversy
and for the single purpose OF safe
guarding the general public. the en-
ploves and the railroads from the
widespread and intense distress in
evitably attending a general suspen-
sion of transportation service we do
hereby
Resolve. That II is our earnest re-
quest and solicitude that the refusal
of the employees 10 accede to the offer
of the managements to arbitrate be
reconsidered and that in regard
the public welfare they submit to ar
bitration Such a course will preserve
to the general public uninterrupted
transportation service: to the en-
ployes and arrangements. tranquil and
mutually beneficial relations and will
accomplish the desired results with
out the many hardships and sacri-
fees a general strike would entail"

GOOD ATTENDANCE
AT SUMMER SCHOOL

While countless young people are
at the seashore, lakeside, in the noun
tains or at other vacation points, 1913
students are busily engaged at the
University of Nevada taking the sum-
mer course and benefitting themselves
for better things in life. Thirteen of
the students are men preparing and
perfecting themselves for work to be
taken up in the winter months.
Aiding the competent faculty are
two instructors from the University
of Utah. These latter two are coach
ing several teachers in methods of in
struction.
Among the studies being taken dur
ing the summer session are Psyehol-
ogy, United States History, English,
Principals of Teaching, English Lit
erature, School Management, Civics.
Algebra, Physiology, Botany, Nature
Study, Languages. Business Courses,
Physical Education, Manual Arts and
other branches of art.
Under competent instruction "a stu
dents are taking general art course
which will fit them to instruct in light
and shadow harmony; application of
color harmony and design.
During their studies several stu
dents have painted several very clever
landscapes. The work being done in
this branch of University summer
school indicates that all of the artists
do not come from the eastern col
leges.
Several of the young lady students
have become very clever at wood
carving and unique designs in tabo-
rets, wooden utensils and other arti-
cles are being designed and carved.
Combining the esthetic with the
practical, a number of young ladies
are doing almost unbelievable things
for woman in cement and concrete
work.
While the artistically inclined are
being trained along the lines of their
talent, others are perfecting them
selves for other pursuits. The Uni
yersity presents a busy scene with its
many ambitious summer toilers.

BEGIN CAMP PAICN
AGAINST THE FLY

To proprietors of restaurants,
butcher shops, stables, dairies and
other like places: The attention of
the above people and the public in
general is called to the fact that flies
are becoming very numerous and they
are requested TO try to do something
to lessen the menace. If all refuse
and garbage is put into covered con-
tainers, fly traps put outside entran-
ces to such places. and manure piles
covered so flies could find no breeding
places. the number could be greatly
1essened.
People greatly prefer to shop or eat
in places where they do not have to
divide their food with the flies or take
what the flies have left after they have
had first chance at it, Besides, it is
generally known that flies are great
carriers of disease and typhoid has
been directly traced to them. They
are known in some places as the ty-
phoid fly, and it is strongly suspected
that the dread disease, infantile par
alysis. which is at present ravaging
New York City, is also carried by
them.
At a very slight expense and little
trouble the above persons could cor
fer a very great favor on their fellow
townspeople by lessening the number
of flies, besides making their places
of business more attractive to their
customers.

NO MARKET FOR HORSES

wrote to prominent friend in Wash

fine horses for sale and inquired if
there was any market for them in the
national capital says the Tonopah

ply was an epigram of truth:
Dear Friend: There is no market
for horses here. All the poor people
in Washington ride bicycles, the rich
ride in automobiles, the street cars

MONDAY NIGHTS FEATURE
AT NIXON OPERA HOUSE

World Film corporation presents
Edwin August, with Ormi Hawley, in
"The Social Highwayman," at the
Nixon next Monday night, in five reels
of emotional drama.
The interesting story of THE Social
Highwayman" tells of Sir Curtis Jaf-
fray, the offspring of mesalliance
which results in his being brought up
in such bitter poverty that his mother,
before his birth, is driven TO thievery
to obtain food. This incident stamps
a fatal prenatal influence upon the
child At the age of twelve, Curtis,
whose predatory instincts have al
ready manifested themselves in nu-
merous small ways, slows away upon
a ship bound for America, rather than
accept the home and upbringing or
his grandfather, Sir Hugh Jaffray, Of
fers him.
On the same vessel is John Handy,
another stowaway, who is destined to
be a sinister influence in Jaifray's
life. He becomes Jaffray's social sec
retary several years later when, on
the death of his grandfather, Jaftray
inherits the titles ana estates. The
fashionable stratum of society in
which Jaffray now moves is startled
by series oI caring thefts. The sit
uation is 1o-Ipiicated by the suspi-
cion of Countess Rossi, leader of the
social word, that Jaflray is The So
cial Highwayman." The Countess is
the woman who years before ruined
Hanby's life and made of him an out
cast Driven half insane by the recol-
lections of his wrongs Handy, in
frenzy, kills the Countess, but not be-
fore she has set the police on Jaf-
trays track.
BY a daring ruse Jaffray escapes
the authorities. In the meantime the
demented Handy kills himself. declar-
ing with his dying words that he com
mitted the mystifying thefts. How
Jaffray. his nobler instincts now
aroused, confesses everything to the
girl he loves, and how he sets about
rebuilding his life, to be worthy of
her, forms an inspiring and enthrall-
ing conclusion to a consistently eX-
cellent photoplay.
