as \ cowboy, be that in your dress"
The time will soon be upon us when
we can become the arbiters of our
own sartorial fate. The war in
France has abolished leadership in
cert ain fashions by their acceptance
III the highest circles of power, and,
with our dressmakers and shops
somewhat puzzled as to what will
lead and what will not, we have the
best chance Of our career TO suit our
selves.
This will be really the millennium
In dress. Paris. the center of art in
tie world, creates from point in air,
as the engineers say, and from the
mass of material she sends we choose
a thousand different types of cos
tunes if we wish. Look bit into
the history of each costume, as Paris
does, and say to yourself, does my
face and figure, my physical and
mortal individuality, reflect that pc
rod. If the answer is in the negative.
don't let anyone persuade you to buy

In a few weeks the gamble will be
on. Hundreds of women act in the
buying of clothes somewhat after the
Kramer that governed the lottery Of
orr national conscription. They
blinfold the eyes, put the hand into
the mass of material offered and
draw out a number.
When these new frocks and hats
and wraps arrive or this side or tho
water they come fresh from the
salons of the French women who
have little knowledge of American
types or their environment or pleas
ures or pursuits. Not over half
dozen of these workers can think in
terms Of verify what clothes the
Americans need All the better. This
attitude OF theirs has been used as
an argument against buying their out

makes their creations of use to this
country. When artists begin to think

Origin Of the Matinee.

Whether or not we have to ioon
back to the fifties for the first
matinee, there Is at least little doubt
that the invention had not attained
any general popularity when the sew
enties were reached. / am reminded
that the Bancrofts. who were re-
sponsible for many innovations that
have since become the vogue, did not
institute afternoon performances un-
I'll 1876. after they had been in mum
agement eleven years. The Bancrofts,
II not the inventors OF the matinee,
were certainly the first to pay full
salaries to those who took part in
them.
Not until 1873 did the matinee be
come fixed and regular feature of
even the Bancroft management. II
was a by-product OF Diplomacy" the
success of which made any means of
providing additional performances ac-
ceptable. Sir Squire Bancroft has put
II on record that at the beginning the
matinee was n much more costly af-
fair than 1t is now, AS frequent and
separate advertisements and an
nouncements were necessary to make
1t known. Westminster Gazette

N ENGLlSH paper has re-
~ Gently published an article
~ dealing with the attempt and
L y failure of American women
and designers to be inde-
pendent of Paris and congratulates US
on our good serse, us it were, in re-
turning to the source.
In truth, there was not n serious or
concei ted attempt to be independent
or Paris 1t was only natural that the
American people should feel that the
outbreak of the war in France would
stop all the wheels of her commerce
in clothes and that the other coun-
tries would be compelled to go on
their own.
1t would take us a century to ac-
cCmplish what we now buy from
Paris in a week. We are too canny
to give up the best source of fashion
on the planet for no reason whatever
IL we had to depend on our own Gre
atoms for the commerce in clothes,
three-quarters of the firms engaged
In this industry would fail within
two years.
1t is happy piece of news to re-
port in support of this outlined senti-
melt that the shipments of costumes
from France which will take place on
or about the 25th of August will be
as heavy as in normal tiEles. The
number of buyers who have gone
abroad has been reduced on account
OF volunteering, consumption and
changes, therefore, in the personnel
Of many business houses, but the resi-
dent buyers and the important repre-
sentatives for groups of houses nave
been able to transact the expected
business.
Where America Comes in.
So much for Paris. But, with all
that she will do, the war places an
important task on American women.
Never before in the history of COM
merce in clothes has this especial de-
mand been made upon them. 1t Is
this: They must work out their own
salvation. Our heads of shops and
dressmaking houses are far from be-
ing aids to the dumb. They must
sell what they have bought and made
and they have rarely studied the
needs of the individual.
The buyers who went to Paris in
other days haunted tho fashionable
places where the women of pleasure
and power foregathcred. These
women made and narred the FASH
ions put out by the designers. When
our buyers saw that these leaders
were Cti Neilll iAf'iAipiio my
brought them home for the Ameri-
can.
But, and this is the new situation,
the women here are now confronted
with the fact that thousands of new
costumes will soon be unpacked from
the boxes that brought them over the
ocean, and as they were chosen from
whatever the French houses had to
offer, it will be our part to select
from that heterogeneous mass that
which brings out our special type ana
suits our environment. This is sane
ard sensible wartime adjustment OF
ones times and income and possibly
the lesson may be so thoroly learned
and digested that it will prove to be a
lasting benefit to the national COM
munity.
Make a Study of Clothes.
1t is not waste Of time to be fully
aware of the kind OF costumery that
you should adopt. The comprehen-
stve adjustment between your type
and your clothing will save money
nerves and regrets. Don't be so fool.

greater part of yesterday was taken
up with the consideration of bills.
The most important bill to come be-
fore the board, and which was al

Company, amounting to $5.310. Toe
work of listing lands omitted from
the tax list has been going on for sew
eral months, under a contract with
acre for all lands added to the roll
A total of 32,765 acres were added to
the roll, about half of which was rail-
road lieu lands, of which the assessor
had no record. Practically the entire
balance was composed of lands for
which patents had been issued by the
land Office and never recorded. Under
the laws of Nevada these lands are
subject now to taxation for every year

CLASS DAY. AT
THE HIGH SCHOOL

The big high school auditorium was
comfortably filled with guests of the
senior class at the annual class day
program last evening and all present
were unanimous in their praise of the
efforts of the seniors throughout the
exercises.
Florence Bernard, with the class
history, was interesting all the way
in her account of the voyage" of the
class through high school. In addi-
tion, she rendered a piano solo ef-
fectively.
Earl Randolph gave catchy
original poem, in which he "hit off"
his classmates in a telling way. and
he was roundly applauded.
Avery Davenport rendered pretty
piano solo in excellent form, and vii
appear as valedictorian on the gradu-
alton program tonight
Nora Roberts next recited "The
Chariot Race" from "Ben-Hur." This
is classic and very difficult, but the
young lady covered herself with glory
in its rendition.
Hulda Peck, who is senior presi-
dent. followed with a class prophecy
replete with humorous forecasts,
which kept the crowd convulsed
throughout
Lorene Richardson, with the class
will, closed the program in a most
interesting way. Miss Richardson
also gave a piano solo earlier in the
program which was of high merit.
Following the regular program,
Professor Jewell presented the high

Lewis Twist, Henry Ruckteschler,
Cecil Callahan and Earl Randolph
were the winners of this distinction
among the boys. The girls had re
ceived their letters earlier. at the

attractive, having been under the care
of a most competent decoration com
mittee. The class colors are green
and white, and these were the basis
of the color scheme. The decorations
will remain throughout the remainder
of the week.
The sophomores handled the usher
ing beautifully, as at the baccalaura-
ate sermon, and will be masters of
ceremony again tonight. Pitcher

CLEANING OUT THE
OLD WORKINGS

George f. Parish, consulting engi-
neer for the National Leasing Com
pany, returned last evening from
National. where he went Saturday to
look over the property of the COM
pany. When seen today by a Silver
State representative and asked if he
had anything for publication, Mr.. Far
ish replied:
at is too early yet to talk for pub
lication. For me to attempt to pass
judgment on the National Leasing
Company's property at this time
would be the same as a judge render
ing judgment after having heard the
evidence of but one witness. We are
cleaning out old workings, arranging
other preliminaries, and hope to be
able to pass an intelligent Judgment
on the proposition in the near future"
Mr.. Parish will return to National
in the morning.
The last issue of G.. G.. Rice's Indus
trial & Mining Age contains the fol-
lowing reference to the National Leas-
ing Company:
Consulting Engineer George E. Far
ish of the National Leasing Company
has wired the Industrial and Mining
Age that he was leaving Winnemucca,
Nevada. on Saturday by automobile
for National, Nevada, to begin at once
his inspection of the company's prop
erty, in company with two expert
enced miners who know the ground
wall Mr. 70 rich fc alcn faI
by Elmer Pfouts, his assistant engi-
neer; and Immediately upon the con-
clusion of their preliminary inspec-
ton, plans will be perfected for the
most rapid possible development work
along the famous National gold-bear-
ing vein.
National Leasing was moderately
active on the curb during the week,
touching high of Is cents and sell
ing at the close on Saturday at 16
cents, a decline of cents from the
previous week, when this new stock
was first introduced With the re-
sumption of mining operations of an
exploratory nature at or near the
point where the Charleston Hill Gold
Mining Company left off, however,
there should be increased activity IN
this issue. The fact that the vein,
which extends at least 700 feet, and
probably farther, into the National
Leasing ground, has been definitely
determined to be the same vein from
which more than $14,O00,000 has been
taken out of the adjoining National
mine, gives the greatest possible spec
ufative value to National Leasing
stock. There is always present the
possibility of striking ore shoots SINH
lar to those which have yielded fabu-
lous fortunes in the adjacent claim
after only very few feet of further
development either from the Kennedy
Mcdonald shaft or the White Rock
tunnel. Engineer Parish is under in
structions from the company to de-
termine as quickly as possible the
best method of extending development
work begun by the former owners,
and to push it forward to the limit of
speed.
The National Leasing Company has
capitalization of 100000 shares.

shares are in the treasury of the con-

of extension of two more years to the
