"HOUSf OF GLASS" BUILT
AROUND INTERESTING PLOT

The House of Glass;" which comes
to the Nixon theatre Friday, February
3. takes it name from a series of air
castles builded by Margaret Case, who
has been led into the police net be-
cause of her love for a young crook.
She is tried, convicted and serves half
OF three-year sentence.
Released on probation, she breaks
her parole by fleeing to Kansas City.
where she accepts a position in the
office of Harvey L ke, railroad man.
as his stenographer She marries
this man, who afterwards becomes
general manager of the road.
Returning to New York, Mrs. Lakes
past life is revealed. Jealous in the
work of uplifting criminals, she is
unable to convince her husband, who
has obdurate views. When he refuses
to withdraw the prosecution of a
youth who has embezzled funds from
his company. the detective who had
been active in sending Margaret Case
to Jail is called upon, and soon Mrs.
Lake is in the clutches of her old
nemesis. Ultimately, at the price of
her husbands forgiveness of the en-
bezzler, she is pardoned by the Gov
eInor, who is interested in the boys
case, and the railroad man learns the
lesson that people who live in glass
houses must not throw stones.
Messrs. Cohan & Harris are sponsors
for this powerful play, and its eight
months engagement in New York last
season should be sufficient guaran-
tee of its tremendous hold upon the
theatregoing public.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF
STATE EDUCATIONAL SURVEY

Judge J. A. Langwith returned last
Sunday from Carson City, where he
attended meeting of the State edu-
cational survey commission, which
adjourned three-day meeting Friday
evening. The report of the commits
sion is in the hands of State Printer
Farnsworth and will be submitted to
the Legislature as soon as printed.
The report will cover the public
school system of the State and will
make several important recommen-
dations relative to the future system
to be adopted in educational affairs.
A recommendation is made that the
State board of education be abolished
and provision made for an appointive
board of five members to be named
by the Governor, and that the new
board. when appointed, shall be dele
gated to duty of appointing the State
superintendent of public instruction
Members of the new board, the recon-
mendation says, should have an Office
tenure of five years. To carry out
those two recommendations, that is,
the appointment of the board of edu-
cation by. the Governor and the APP
pointment of the superintendent of
public instruction by the new board,
would require two constitutional
amendments. making it six years be-
fore they could become effective, in
case the recommendations are adopt
ed by the Legislature.
A third recommendation is made
that any county, on petition of 10 per
cent of the registered voters. should
be allowed to decide whether the
county board of education shall be
given the management of the school
system of the county, the idea being
to retain boards of school trustees,
but to give them charge of the busi-
ness affairs of the school districts.
The present school survey commits
sion consists of Governor Boyle, as
chairman Archer w. Hendrick, John
Edwards Bray, ]. A. Langwith. Mrs.
Charles Chandler, c. c. Emerson, NJ.
L. Lee. w j. Hunting, ]. b. Tregloan
and Mrs. Otto Williams.

A Bull-Luck Christmas

seemed better fitted to San Fran
cisco than to new Nevada mining
camp, there were many of the
patrons who were unkind enough
to make insinuating queries re-
garding the manner in which Jake
had secured the money which paid
for it all. Discussions on this sub
ject never reached any definite
goal, and it was finally dismissed
as conversational topic.
Jake had announced that he
was going to put all the other
joints on the blink" when it came
to celebrating Christmas, and he
began his decoration several days
ahead of the rest,
One afternoon two strangers en-
tered the resort, and when Jake
saw some glasses, flush of Grim
son sutfused his face and spread
rapidly to the back of his neck.
"Well, Jake, we are here.
Eyes. Have something.
They declined his protfer of
hospitality, and asked him outside.
"We don't want to talk our bust
ness affairs in the presence of your
customers. Jake, but we have come
up here to take look at that
mining property.
Take ye right to it,.
They soon had a raw-boned
horse hitched to a blackboard, and
started out.
Better take pick and sh ovel,
if we need some more ore samples" f"
They drove out into the hills,
and it soon became apparent that
Jake did not exactly know where
he was going
"See anything of the mine?"
1T must be along here some
where
Presently the horse stopped on
the brow of bleak hill, and Jake
dropped the reins TO wipe the
hetvy beads of sweat off his face.
"Well, what about it?" queried
the two men in the back seat.
"I guess, boys, may as we'll
make clean breast of it. There
amt no mine. Only a location,
and I've blowed the wad.'
Jake had been stringing his
partners along to put up money on
his lying representations for nearly
two years, and he had reached the
end of the trail. He had put all
the money into his saloon, and in
palliation of his offense he ex-
planned that all mining was
gamble, while saloon in Nevada
mining camp possessed no elements
of fl an cial uncertainty. He
argued that his course had been
solely dictated by inherent honesty
and sound business judgment.
"1our talk is interesting, Jake,
but it cuts no ice with US. What
we want you to do now is to pick
out some nice dry place for grave,
somewhere off the main line of
travel, and not too much exposed
to the wind. We are going to
have you dig your grave, right
away, and then fill your worthless
carcass with lead and bury you
with your. boots on"
Jake knew his partners too well
to open any parley on question
like that He drove his horse into
a hollow, and getting out remarked
that the spot where they had
stopped was as good as any.
"Get busyr' They handed him
the pick and shovel, and when he
seemed a little slow covered him
with six-shooters.
There was a silence of half an
hour as his captors watched him
work.
The ground was getting harder,
and the poor fellow was weaken
ing at his task.
"Say, fellers. amt this deep
enough? l amt SO blamed par
