Why Men Are Mean

There are some men in this world
so mean that whenever you hear
about them you want to thrash them
until they are hardly able to walk.
Generally they are mean to their
families. l heard of a man the
other day who didn't like his job and
so he just quit and loafed around
home. His wife went out and did
other folks washing to support the
family and to make matters worse
she was soon to become a mother.
Can you think of anything that
would make you madden than a con-
dition like this? He is not a native
born American but there are Ameri-
cans as mean and shiftless. No ma
ton has a monopoly of meanness.
The trouble with mean men is that
they did not have the right training
during boyhood. l heard the other
day of a small boy who was seen
to kill little chicken by stamping
it into the earth. He was wantonly
cruel and this tendency was not
checked. Many years later he killed
his wife in fit of anger because a
meal was not prepared on time. The
lady who had seen him kill the little
chicken when he was boy remem-
bered the event and so was not sur
prised. Boys and girls should be
taught to be unselfish, rather than
selfish; gentle rather than cruel; kind
rather than mean. Fathers and
mothers do not neglect these things.
A child's character can be moulded.
Perhaps it may seem difficult but
it can be done so do not ler your
girl develop into a selfish woman
and your boy into a mean man.

MONDAY NIGHTS FEAT
URf FILM AT THE NIXON

Sudden Riches" a fascinating, in
teresting and awe-inspiring photoplay,
written by II. Richard Schayer, will be
the attraction at the Nixon opera
house next Monday night, with Rob-
ert Warwick, Clara Whipple and Ger
da Holmes, supported by a cast of
dramatic players of great magnitude.
The story Sudden Riches" is based
around fortune given by an uncle
to his nephew in hopes of running
him. On his death-bed, old Abner
Crewe, the Mortgage King" of Chi
cago, leaves his entire fortune, S5,00e,-
000-blood money wrung from the
poor-to his nephew, Robert Crewe.
The legacy is made solely in the spirit
of revenge. as old Abner explains to
his lawyer. Eli Ketchem, he has al
ways hated the young man, his only
relative. The reasons for this unnat-
ural hatred trace back to the day
when Abner and his brother Jonathan
loved the same girl Jonathan won
her, and she died giving birth to Rob-
ert
Old Abner had never forgiven his
brother for taking his sweetheart from

double hatred for having been the
cause of its mothers death. Through
out his long life of money-grabbing
Abner had cut himself off from his
brother and nephew entirely. The
brother had died and young Robert,
an ambitious and talented young ar
ehitect, had married and was happily
pursuing his career in New York City.
In making his will. Abner gloatingly
prophesied that his millions would be

Climate Attracts Students

The remarkable increase in the en-
rollment at the University Summer
Session is to be partly accredited to
the remarkable climatic attractions OF
Reno. Students i'll attendance this
year from all parts of Nevada and
many from neighboring states declar-
ed that they had never before found
such favorable opportunities for va
cation studies, and the members of the
faculty who came from other univer-
stiles testified that the living condi-
tions for summer students on the Ne
vada campus are not surpassed by
many universities in the western
countries. The registration was near
" two times as large as the last pre-
ceding summer session, and the value
of the school to the teachers OF Ne
vada was fully demonstrated.

ON LANDER
COUNTY TIN ORE

Tin ore has recently been found in
the extreme northern part of Lander
county Nevada, in an unnamed short
range of hills 20 miles north of Bat
tie Mountain, a town on the Southern
Pacific system, says the Press Bulle-
tin OF the Geological Survey. 1t wa
discovered by chance by an employe
of the Russell cattle ranch, in which
the range is situated, who had picked
up from the alluvial wash at the base
of the range a piece of curious-looking
rock" What the substance was,
however. remained unknown until a
mining engineer who had been in
Mexico chanced to see it at Battle
Mountain and recognized it as wood
tin, a name given to that form of the
natural oxide of tin that is character
lied by a eoncentric banding resem-
bling the annual growth rings of
wood. Search was Immediately made
for the bedrock source of the ore,
which has already been found at sew
eral places in a belt two miles long.
At the request of Senator Pittman
these occurrences were recently ex-
amined by Adolph Knopf. geologist
Of the u. S. Geological Survey De-
partment of the Interior.
The ore occurs in narrow veinlets
in rhyolite lavas, which were erupted
in middle Tertiary time. In places the
veinlets are sufficiently numerous to
form low-grade lodes, but because of
the small development work so far
done not much is known as to the
ola rio 0f
lodes. The indications of the stronger
lodes, taken in connection with their
geology, are. in the opinion of govern
ment biologists, such as to warrant
further exploration.
The deposits resemble closely those
of the Mexican states of Durango, Ia
catecas, and Guanajuato, but are
wholly unlike all other tin deposits,
most of which are associated with in
trusiye GRANTEES. Not only has the tin
ore been found in place at number
of localities over a considerable area,
but placer tin ore has been found in
all the gulches heading in this area,
and also in some of those at the north
end of the Shoshone Mesa, the prom
inent basalt-capped table-land north
Of Battle Mountain. The known tin
bearing belt is a small fraction of a
great area-150 square miles or
more-in this part of Nevada that is
underlain by rhyolites similar to those
associated with the tin ore in northern
Lander county. This rhyolitic area ex-
tends at least as far north as the Ne
vada-Idaho state line. Clearly this
area merits further attention from
the prospector. especially such parts
of it as have been but superficially
examined because they are barren of
deposits Of precious metals.
