A war department telegram receiv- ed Wednesday evening announced that Adelari Barbeau, G Co.,, 102nd Inf, is missing in action since April 20th. The assumption is that he is a German prisoner. Private Barbeau was teh second man to be inducted into service from this district and one of the first to leave. He left Putnam for Camp Devens September 5th of last year. and was placed in the Depot Brigade. He never had a chance to return to his home here, for within a few days he was transferred to the 102nd Inf, then at New Haven. and sailed for France early in the fall. He was an enthusiast to get into the ser vice and his many letters home indi- cate that he had developed into a brave soldier. The last letters receiV- ed from him came through about ten days ago and were probably written just before he entered the action from which he did not return.

u. s. GOVERNMENT
NEEDS MANGANESE

The government desires information
regarding manganese deposits in this
State, and to help in this work the
Mackay School of Mines proposes to
conduct an investigation of all pos
sible sources of manganese in Nevada
and collect all available data regard
ing its occurrence in the State. The
information desired is the size of the
deposit, grade of ore and location re-
garding railroad shipping points. The
Metallurgy department of the school
Will make tests and assays free of
charge on any ores from this State
and will also endeavor to put possible
shippers in touch with buyers of such
ore. The value of manganese ores az
present is about S35 per ton for 400
manganese with less than 1870 silica,
and the value rises with higher grade
ores to a maximum of about $780, As
most of the manganese ores are black
or dark brown in color, any extensive
deposits of such ore should be exam
ined. For mineral tests, single-piece
specimens are sufficient, but where
assays and analyses are desired, aver
age samples of few pounds in weight
should be sent
The following description is given
of the more important manganese
minerals:
Braunite is a brownish black 10
steel gray mineral with a sub-metallie
luster and brownish black streak and
is quite hard but brittle.
Pyrolusite, sometimes called black
oxide of manganese, contains 1920
manganese when pure, is soft and will
usually rub off on the fingers, black
in color and streak, dull to metallic
luster.
Manganite contains 62.4e6 manga
nese when pure and generally occurs
in short, prismatic crystals. 1t has
sub-metallic luster, steel gray to
iron black color, reddish brown to
black streak. and is somewhat softer
than psilomelane
Psilomelane, sometimes called black
hematite, commonly occurs as a mas
sive black mineral, dull to sub-metal-
lie luster, iron black to drak gray
color, and is quite hard.
Nevada has been able to supply
some manganese ore, and it is known
to occur in many parts of the State.

BLANKS ARE HERE
FOR Income TAX

The blank forms for income tax re-
turns have arrived and are being dis
tributed by Frank l.. Reber, deputy
internal revenue collector for this dis
trict. These blanks may be obtained
at the postofice or at either of the
banks. 1t is compulsory that each
citizen secure a blank and fill ii out
in accordance with his or her gross
income, less certain deductions which
are specified The tax is only per
cent on moderate incomes, hence Il
will not prove a hardship on anyone,
while the general aggregate will
amount to millions of dollars for the
government.
There has been much published n
newspapers from time to time regard
ing the income tax, and still there APP
pears to be doubt in the minds of some
as to the requirements of the law.
The 1916 law required that every sim
900 or more, every married person
$4,000 or more, make return, the ex-
cess to be taxed at per cent. The
1917 law. known as the war income
tax. reduced these amounts to $1,000
for a single person and $4,000 for
married person, plus 5000 for each
dependent child under 1S.
The principal thing to bear in mind
is that a married person who comes
within the requirements of the law
must file a return regardless of any
exemption. Failure to make return is
misdemeanor and the penalty IS
heavy. A Washington dispatch says
that an extension of time for filing
income tax returns after March l will
be granted in cases where il is demon
strated that accounting difficulties of
a business prevent completion before
hat time. This rule is disclosed in
equations accompanying tax return
'orms for incomes Of $4,000 or more.
In making inventories. the regula-
tions provide that returns may be
made either on the basis of cost or
market value. whichever is lower, and
IN explanation is required of which
basis is used. If real property or Sc
eurities have been held since before
March 1. 1913. the regulations require
reporting of their estimated value on
that date, instead of the original cost,
together with an explanation of the
estimate

NEW-OLD THEORY
OF WOMAN'S FALL

Hall Caine, the film version of whose
novel "The Manxman" will be shown
at the American theatre tonight, may
be said to be one of the few authors
of our times who has an original point
of view concerning woman. And it Is
original by virtue of the fact that his
philosophy is as old as the philosophy
of Christ, paradoxical as that may
seem.
when good woman falls from
honor" writes Mr.. Caine in "The
Manxman," els j. merely that she is
the victim of momentary intoxication,
of stress of passion, of the fever of
instinct? No. 1t is mainly that she
is the slave of the sweetest, tenderest,
most spiritual and pathetic of all hu-
man fallacies-the fallacy that by Civ
ing herself to the man she loves she
attaches him to herself forever. This
is the real betrayer of nearly all good
women that are betrayed. 1t lies at
the root of tens of thousands of the
cases that make up the merciless story
of mans sin and woman's weakness.
Alas, it is only the woman who clings
the closer. The impulse of the man is
to draw apart. He must conquer it
or she is lost. Such is the old, cruel
difference and inequality of man and
woman as nature made them-the old
trick, the old tragedy"

GIVE DOG A SHOW
FOR WHITE ALLEY

Editor The Silver State:
/ see by the reeently-enacted ordi-
nance (emergency) published in d
iccal newspaper that we shall pay a
license of 81 per year on all male
dogs and So on all females. This Ii
cense question is one upon which no
dog-owner will balk, but il seems un-
fair that the dog must pay for pro-
lection and the privilege of living and
then be caught by the city dog catcher
and the owner subject to a penalty un-
less the dog is either tied up or goes
about in leading strings.
When our prospective dog catcher
is fully equipped with wagon, catching
net and helpers, let us hope that, in
stead of pursuing dogs who have
names, homes and owners who do
their best to care for them, that he
will go out after the homeless, friend
less and misbegotten ours which are
brought into the town by ranchers,
herders, etc, and dumped on our
streets. These animals are half Will
and from them comes the menace.
While about it | would also suggest
that cat owner should be compelled
TO procure a license; that would put
quit an amount of cash in the city
treasury and the killing of numerous
marauding PA" cats who travel the
back fences as soon as it becomes
dark. singing sonatas to their senori-
tas in basso disgusto tones, would help
to make the sleep of the weary house
holder more salubrious.
The dog is naturally cleanly of habit
but who ever saw a cat who would
voluntarily take bath? No. Pussy,
after exploring numerous garbage
cans, stuffing her or himself with un-
speakable offal. will sit somewhere In
the sun and with pretty pink tongue
give the once over to the coat and is
then ready to become an ornament to
any home and cuddle down beside the
sleeping baby.
No wonder there are so many epi.
denies of whooping cough, scarlet
fever and measles among the infant
population when the family cat is 50
much in evidence. A tax of one dol
lar on cats of the male persuasion and
about ten dollars on the females would
surely separate the feline sheep from
the goats. There is absolutely no
danger of race suicide in catdom,
when every mother cat twice a year
reproduces her like TO the tune of
fourteen sore-eyed kittens year. If
you are troubled with mice. get few
five-cent mousetraps and the question
is settled.
