EIectricny In the Kitchen.

A recently published book on do
mestic engineering represents the
findings of group of women who
formed household experiment station
to ascertain how far 1t was possible
to go in eliminating servants and vet
be free from drudgery. Labor-saving
devices were installed and tested.
"The first purchase" says the Edi-
son Monthly. was a general utility
motor. Next on the list Mrs. Pattison
ranks a vacuum cleaner. a mangle and
an electric fatiron. Perhaps the most
interesting piece OF household equip
ment that has come to my knowledge.
she writes, is the electric dish-wasn-
ing machine. The wonder is that
women have so long been slaves to
dishpans. cloths. mops. towels and all
other unsanitary and unhygienic
means."

Col. MAXSON IN
FAVOR HARMONY

How the Republicans of the nation
will act toward the Progressive party s
overtures for harmony is interesting
the whole country, says the Gazette.
The Chicago Herald is seeking infor-
nation by applying to members of the
Republican national committee, and
last night Col. III. b. Maxson, member
of the Republican national committee
from Nevada, received the following
dispatch from the Herald:
"In view of the tentative olive
branch proffered by the national Pro-
gressive committee in Chicago, are you
in favor of meeting them half wayf
Please wire at our expense.
Col Maxson in his reply said he be-
Geved in burying differences. His dis
patch in full, is as follows:
"Herald, Chicago: In all walks OF
life / favor accepting olive branches
that it is not a sprig of poison ivy. All
good Republicans who desire prosperity
and who differ only in the method Of
bringing it about, must meet each other
half way and be reasonable in the man
ner of settling political family differ
erees, and become reunited and work
together for the restoration of real
prosperity founded upon our country

Silver State and s. F. can SOC month


coin county, where the Prince Consoli-
dated was reported shipping at the
rate of 10000 tons per month in Octo-
Der.
A great increase, nearly SO per cent,
was made in the mine output of zinc
in Nevada, from 1880 pounds of re-
coverable spelter in 1914 to over 21,-
100000 pounds of the metal in 1915. AS
the price of the metal was abnormally
high in 1915, the value of the output in
creased from $66l ,992 to about $2,993,-
COO in 1915. The Yellow Pine district
of Clark county was by far the largest
producer, but the Amalgamated Phoebe
property in Lincoln county made i'm
portant shipments, and the Polar Star
property and Arthur zine mine, both
in Elko county, contributed. Small
shipments of zine ore were also made
from Ely in White Pine county and
from Mineral in Eureka county. The
latter part of the year the Yellow Pine
mine had increased its shipments to
the rate of 1900 tons per month, the
Potosi property to about 500 tons per
month, and there was great activity in
the other zine properties in the district.
The Green Monster was an important
shipper at the close of the year.
The main dividend payers of the
state were Nevada Consolidated, Gold

A GOOD STORY
FROM CLARK COUNTY

District Attorney Henderson of Clark
county told a good story at the con
ference at Winnemucca Tuesday. He
said that the people of his county had
hardly heard of the term rabies and
many did not know how to pronounce
it. When the telegram came from the
governor to the county commissioners
asking that a delegate be appointed to
attend the conference at Winnemucca
on the rabies situation, the clerk read
it and called the word "rabbies,' Civ
ing the pronunciation of the Jewish
master or teacher. One of those pres
ent then innoeently asked: "Well,
what in hell are the Jews doing nowf"

TORTOISE 0UTLIvES THE HARE
Rabbit May Get to Be Five Years Of
Age, but the other May Reach
Four Hundred.

The ages of living things vary from
a moment to hundreds of years. The
tortoise is said to take the prize
among all land animals for length OF
years. This animal lives, under favor
able conditions, 900 or 400 years. One
died In London in 1906 which was said
to be at least $50 years old The
crocodile, too. sometimes lives to be
800.
The tortoise has to give in to the
whale. however, for the latter often
lives to the age of five hundred. That
is probably the oldest age reached by
any creature which exists upon the
earth today.
The common little English sparrow
lives longer than most of US imagine
Scientists tell us that some OF them
get to be forty years old This is a
ripe old age for so small bird. The
robin, which is much larger, lives
only ten or twelve years. The eagle
holds the record for age among the
birds. II may live to be 100.
The elephant lives. on the average.
about as long as the eagle. The old
est age among our common domestic
animals is reached by the horse,
which often reaches 80 Or more This
is practically the same as the age OF
lions and camels. The cow may live
to be 25, the dog Is. the rabbit about
five. Most of us know. however, of
cases in which common beasts or
birds have lived to much greater ages
than are allotted them ordinarily.

BUSINESS that doesn't advertise.
I've sat on the side lines and
5atched various vice crusades. Sew
raj of these hunts were pulled of IN
Toledo when the street railway COM
ANY and allied big business interests
wanted to beat Brand WhitlOck for
mayor and elect some tool of big bus
mess who would favor granting
street railway franchise.
During one of these vice crusades
when Big Business and such preach
ers as it could control started out to
clean up the town some Of the
preachers had private detectives take
them through the resorts in the ten
derlOin, and l think they thoroughly
enjoyed the opportunity to get close
to vice and give it the once over.
They could convince their wives and
the good folks of their congregation
that they were boldly venturing into
the awful dens of vice in the interest
of the great cause of morality
And the newspapers controlled by
the street railway company printed
in big type under sensational head
lines the shocking revelations of
what the moral ministers had seen
and heard. And the good folks read
it, of course. It had the moral o. K.
on it.
I have always believed that Billy
Sunday was brought to Toledo by
the traction interests to set the town
on fire with a religious revival, so as
to make it possible to beat Brand
WhitIock for mayor. Shortly after
his revival in Philadelphia, John Reed
showed in the Metropolitan Magazine

president of the Baldwin locomotive
works and other large employers of

Billy Sunday to go to Philadelphia
and work up a revival But not to
encourage them to strike for higher
wages or to join labor unions.
We had a sort of religious revival
in Chicago last year, with most of
the Protestant preachers up to their
ears in politics and fighting for Big
Bill Thompson because they believed
they were saving the public schools.
And once he got on the job, Big Bill
tried to please the preachers by at
tempting to clean up the town. But
the forces of reform split wide open
during the late local UnpIeasantness
and Bill found about as many of them
on his back as at his side.
But that's what generally happens.
If you begin catering to a class in
politics you've got to come through
100 per cent perfect. Nothing less
will do. Be 80 per cent right and 10
per cent wrong and you're out, you're
a trailer, you're a backslideF, you're
no good. This goes for the Vets as
well as the Drys. Each is human
enough to want it all his own way.
Harrison didn't close the saloons
on Sunday, but he did abridge liberty
to the extent of closing them at 1

game. And what the advocates of
personal liberty did to him at the pri-
mary when the Democrats nominated
Bob SweitzeT was certainly a plenty.
Now the 26-game was a cinch for
the saIoOnkeeper. 1t boosted the sale
of booze and cigars. So it pleased the
brewer, the liquor dealer and the
cigar manufacturer as well as the sa-
loonkeeper. They got sore when
Harrison stopped the game, and so
did all the suckers that played the
game and blew in their money. Those
who wanted the game stopped forgot
