This morning the thermometer At
the government weather bureau reg
istered 10 degrees below zero. being

BILLIE BURKE AT
AMERICAN TONIGHT

Lucille has attained a triumph in
frocks. Nobody but Lucille would
ever have thought of bringing war
and peace together in a gown for
Billie Burke, the star of the great
Rupert Hughes motion picture novel
"Gloria's Romance" which is shown
at the American theatre tonight. But
Lucille dared and did.
How war and peace. you ask? Well,
consider; the material of this Hague,
like dress is of a soft dove-gray.
Doesn't that suggest peace at the very
outset? The breast of a dove and the
dove with the olive branch, and all
sorts of things-and the material is
of the softness of pity and invites
thoughts of all that is peaceful and
homelike
But look--there in the middle Of
this gentle-looking skirt is a double
row of cartridge plaiting-and right
now the war is on. The bodice of
this contradictory gown is also of
gray material, but to counteract the
peaceful effect of the color, the style
10 must military. rlTSl OI ALL Ll6Te
is the short little coatee-almost like
an English Tommy's uniform. Then
cartridge plating makes its appear
ance on the sleeves. Gunmetal pumps
and gray silk stockings are a proper
finish for one end of this gown, and
a black ribbon with a medal-like
cameo is worn around the neck, to
more fully carry out the idea of war
and peace.

Precedent Established by Hendrick

AS the situation is understood by
The Silver State, President Hendricks
term of office had exired with the go
ing out of the old board of regents,
and it became the duty of the present
board to name his successor. which
will probably be done in due time.
A precedent for this summary pro-
ceeding was established some two
years ago by President Hendrick him
self At that time the State Board of
Education. composed of Governor
Boyle, State Superintendent Bray and
President Hendrick. appointed new
deputy superintendent of public in
struction. President Hendrick stated
publicly that Professor Abel had made
the best showing in his district OF
any deputy in the State. and was
entitled to a reappointment; that in
his Judgment he should be sent TO
White Pine county to build up that
district. When it came TO a vote on
Professor Abel's retention in office,
Governor Boyle voted for him. Su-
perintendent Bray voted against him
and President Hendrick declined TO
vote. Professor Abel was thereby
ousted from office.
Verify, il makes difference whose
OK is gored."

Statement by Captain of Visitors

Lovelock girls have nothing TO say
about the loss of this game. We did
fully as well as we expected. We
were handicapped by the absence Of
two of our best players. and more so
by the polished floor here. There is
no dancing on the Lovelock floor and
the footing is very different. The
game was sportsmanlike throughout
We are still confident regarding our
chances for the State championship,
This was our first game away from
home. HELEN FUSS.

Flashing yellow and crimson sweat
ers, twinkling white-ah, hosiery, the
pattering of two dozen Nos. l, 115 and
2 rubber-soled shoes, mingled with
some hard breathing, an occasional
grunt and tumble and the rapid, &c
centric gyrations of big black ball,
made pretty show last evening at
the high school gymnasium, in the
basketball game between Winnemucca
and Lovelock high school girls teams.
Winnemucca won "all the way"
and that fact seemed to be taken by
the audience as { signal for glee. 1T
is not to be said, however, that the
local girls had anything easy" from
Loyelock. The visitors played a good
game after they became used to the
polished floor surface, and in certain
respects excelled.
The first half was played mostly
under the Winnemucca basket, and
was the occasion of numerous unin-
territorial fouls by the visitors. In
the second half they found their
feet" and became considerably more
formidable, Miss Huss scoring the
prettiest field goal of the evening
two minutes after the half started.
Despite the unusually severe win
ter weather, the seating caacity of
the gymnasium was utilized by the
audience. The stage was filled with
the local high school rooters. who
vocalized vociferously, variously and
valiantly during the evening.
The players last night were: For
Winnemucca, Ruth Vargas. Marjorie
Stauffer, Ethel Brown, Erma Hoskins,
Louise Cooney and Frances Hoskins.
For Lovelock, Hortense and Nora
Haughney, Grace Carpenter, Eloise
Torrey, Helen Fuss and Pearl Stocker.
Professors Montgomery and Scott
were the men on The floor. Prof. Rad
form, u. of N. acted as referee. Mrs.
Montgomery and e. Torrey were
Timekeepers.
The Lovelock girls were chape-
roned on the journey by Mrs. j. r.
Montgomery, wife of the principal of
the neighboring high school. Hazel
Zunini and Laura DAILY, favorite play
ers on the Lovelock team were not
permitted to make the trip.
1t was the opinion of disinterested
spectators at the game that the Win
nemucca team was the stronger, par
ticularly in its forwards, whose agil-
ity and strength are of professional
class.
After the game a dance was en-
joyed by the high school people and
home go" sounded about L o'clock.
The Lovelock contingent went to the
Eldorado to wait for No. 5, due at
2:40 am, and that train was two
hours late. There were sleepy heads
sticking it out"

Winnemucca girls are now in the

the game they are playing makes
them strong contenders for honors, to
say the least These basketball games
are really classy entertainment of the
kind and they deserve liberal patron

No Sand COmin8.

Contractor L. R. Waesche. of this
place, has been placed in bad position
owing to recent order passed by the
Government in regard to the use of open
freight cars. The order designates what
these cars shall be used for, coal haul
ing principally. After repeated effort
on the part of Mr.. Waesche with the
railroad officials, and these officials with
Government officials to exempt a few
cars so that they could be used to haul
sand. word came yesterday mo rning that
no cars would be exempted. The sand
company in Baltimore has abundance of
sand but can get no open cars in which
to ship and cannot load sand in box cars.
This ties up work on State road work
not only here but at other places where
such work is being done.
To complete the street work in Thur
mont, creek sand will be used to a great
extent. This will make the work more
expensive to the contractor, but will
make just as good road as the sand
shipped here.

Accidents At High School.
Three Injured Playing Last

day at the Thurmont High School
grounds, three accidents occurring dur
ing the day. The first occurred during
the forenoon when son of Mr.. Jacob
| Davis had wrist severely sprained while
playing soccer ball with lot of his COM

During the afternoon game of soccer
ball between the Middletown High School
team and the local team, Harlan Dinter-
man, of Middletown, had his left leg
broken just above the ankle. Mr.. Dim
terman and one of the Thurmont boys
attempted to kick the ball at the same
time and in the mixup he received the
full force of the kick on his leg which
resulted in the breaking of one of the
bones. He was carried off the field and
taken in an automobile to DR.. E. G. Ke-
fauver who rendered surgical aid.
A few minutes after the above occur
red and play had been resumed, another
of the Middletown boys fell and sprained
his left ankle very bad. He was carried
from the field and into the school build
ing where first aid was given. His name
was not ascertained.
With two members of the original line
up out of the game, the Middletown
chaps fought desperately and won the
game from the local team, the score be-
