KIND WORDS FOR THE
UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA

Residents of the state of Nevada
have unusual opportunities for self
betterment at the University of Ne
vada," says Mrs. Lois Miller. B.A. of
the University of Utah. Mrs. Miller is
at the present time engaged at the
University instructing in English
branches.
students, visitors and those at
tending the University are brought
into close proximity with the profess
sors and instructors who can give
personal attention and help. This is
condition which does not exist in
the larger universities" continued
Mrs. Miller
AN xcellently equipped library is
at the disposal of all who seek knowl-
edge This may be said of the oppor-
tunities offered by all other depart
ments. Good judgment has been used
in the provision for student dormi-
tories both for men and women. Lin
coin and Manzanita halls are above
the average to be found at universi-
ties.
1T has given me a great deal of
satisfaction to note the manner in
school become interested in their sub
iects," says Mrs. Charlotte E. Mont
rose. of the University of Utah. Mrs.
Montrose is at present instructing in
courses in English at the University
of Nevada summer session.
From the standpoints of the bene-
fits derived and from the fact that the
students act as though they were not
attending merely to make up credits,
| believe the summer course is prov
ing of considerable value" continued
Mrs. Montrose.
During my stay at the University
have met many students and visitors
eager and anxious to learn. At the
University of Nevada they find COM
pletely equipped and well organized
institution"
''The work being done will result
in much benefit to the people of Ne
vada, especially to the children. AS a
result of the summer session. the one
hundred or more teachers who have
spent the mid-year weeks in perfect
ing themselves, will be much more
competent to help others help them
selves"
"These same teachers will, through
correspondence, keep in touch with
the University. and will be instrument
tai in bringing others to the same way
of thinking"
MY observations of the University
of Nevada lead me to speak highly of
the equipment and opportunities Of
fered."

GUT THROUGH WITH MESSAGE
Communication Which Was of Vital
Importance to Commanders.

The invention of wireless telegra-
ply has done away with much oil the
old-time dispatch sending which was
so picturesque a feature of previous
wars Often when two friendly armies
are separated by a force of the enemy
1t is a matter of defeat or victory that
q means of communication shall be
opened between them. Thousands OF
brave men have lest their lives in per
forming this temporary war postal
service.
During the Russo-Japanese war an
officer of Cossacks offered to carry
dispatch which ten horsemen had al
ready failed TO get through.
4'The others have failed" the officer
insisted, because they travelled or
horseback. | shall go under my
horse"
Under your horsei" the general ex
claimed. But he accepted the offer OF
the volunteer. Whereupon the Cos
sack officer received the communion,
said his prayers, bade good-by to his
men and started off in the middle OF
tue HiEul SlIdbpNA law NOWANoAN ~
meath his horse, which he guided by
means of passing the reins between
the forelegs OF the horse. The Jap
anese outposts whistled to what they
thought was a riderless horse, but did
not shoot at it when 1t did not heed
them. The animal, driven on by kicks
from the officers heels. accomplished
the Journey of 80 miles in safety. On
the following night the officer returned
as he had gone.
When Lieutenant Gilmore. an officer
of our navy, was captured by the
Filipinos during the insurrection IA
years ago he sent news of his where
abouts through the Filipino lines by
a Spanish prisoner who had been lib
Grated. Naturally all such persons
were carefully searched. But the in
surgent officers had failed to examine
the bamboo walking STAFF of the Span

written message inserted and a cork
was fitted into the hole again. which
also rendered the paper safe from wa

Much Work to Make Helmet.

Sixty-four distinct operations are
necessary in turning out one of the
plain steel helmets worn by French
soldiers. The first step is stamping
out disks from larke sheets of steel. A
special machine is used for this pur-
pose, exerting a pressure of $50 tons,
and capable of cutting out 5000 steel
disks day. Each disk is placed under
a shaping machine, which presses the
disk into the form of a helmet with a
broad rim. Polishing and cutting ma
chimes remove all Irregularities in the
helmet. after which holes are punched
in the crown, some for ventilation pur-
poses. others for fastening on the regi
mental crest. Each helmet is cleaned
and dipped in a special mixture, which
makes it a dull, inconspicuous blush
gray A lining and leather chin straps
are then fastened on, and the helmet
is complete. Since the French army
has been protected with the helmets
the number of deaths due to wounds
in the head has decreased to a remark
able extent-Pearson's Weekly.

NEYADA'S SHARE
GOOD ROADS MONEY

Apportionment among the states of
the first years appropriation of $5,-
100000 carried by the new good roads
act, was announced yesterday by the
department of agriculture. which has
certified the figures to the treasury
department and state officials.
Nevada gets s64,39S. Other western
states are awarded: New Mexico,
$7S,737; North Dakota, $76,143; Okla
homa, $115.139; Oregon, $7S,687;
South Dakota, $S0,946; Texas, $751;
927; Utah, $56,950; Washington, $71,-
SS4; Wyoming. $61,196.
The first installment is for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1917.
Further appropriations for post
roads are: $4,000, 900 the second year,
$15,000,000 the third. $20,000,000 the
fourth and $25,000,000 the fifth year,
OIL total of SIS 5000, 900. In using this
app opriation the federal government
and the states or counties will con-
tribute equally to the cost of each
pIosect. In other words. the state or
county must make available for ex-
penditure upon any given project an
amount equal to that requested from
the federal government before such
an appropriation will be made.
Money for National Forest Roads
One of the provisions of the bill ap-
propriates $10,000,000 to be spent by
the Secretary of Agriculture, in ten
yearly installments of $1.000,000 each,
for the construction and maintenance
of roads and trails within, or partly
within, the national forests.
The bill provides that, upon request
of the proper officers of the state or
counties, the money shall be used for
building roads and trails which are
necessary for the use and develop
ment of resources upon which COM
munities within or near the national
forests are dependent. The work is to
be done in cooperation with the va
rious states and counties. Not more
than 10 per cent of the value of the
timber and forage resources of the ma
tional forests within the respective
county or counties in which the roads
or trails will be constructed may be
spent. Provision is made for the re-
turn of the money to the treasury by
applying 10 per cent of the annual
receipts of the national forests in the
state or county until the amount ad-
vanced is covered
This bill makes possible the con-
struction of many roads which are
urgently needed Since 1912 10 per
cent of the receipts of the national
forests have been used in road and
trail building. but the funds have been
inadequate to meet the needs Many
isolated communities within the ma
tional forests are entirely dependent
upon the government roads and trails.
In some instances these settlements
are almost entirely without means OF
communication. According to forest
service officials the money now made
available will permit the construction
of many roads necessary to open up
inaccessible territory. and will great
ly facilitate the development of large
areas.
The Ogden office of the service is
now engaged in formulating the nec-
essary plans for the apportionment OF
the funds now available among the
different states and counties of the
Intermountain district, completing the
preliminary work, such as maps,
plans. surveys and estimates of the
more urgent projects.

A few days ago, Mr.. Editor Colvert

other local paper, inspired by the
green-eyed monster, emitted a crimi-
nally libelous howl against the new

have his assailant prosecuted. Five
different lawyers assured him that
the libeler wasn't worth notice; that
