MOVIE ACTORS IN
REALISTIC SCENES

The life of the movie actor is not
without risk, as demonstrated Tues
day morning in the Tonopah Club.
At 5 o'clock, after making a night of
1t with the movie prize fight and
staging a scene in the red-light dis
trict with the Tonopah fire depart
ment squirting a stream of water in
a shower spray to represent a stormy
night on the desert, a bunch OF the
boys adjourned to the Tonopah Club,
where they tapered off with personal
"reminiscences, during which A. W.
Dangehart, a buckaroo from the Hot
Creek country, proceeded to show his
dexterity in handling a six-shooter
under a variety of conditions.
He was whirling the weapon around
his head when his hand touched the
hammer and the gun was discharged.
| According to the rules of the game
the gun should have been loaded with
blank cartridges. In this particular
| case one chamber was occupied by a
| real leaden missile, which vent tear
| ing through the saloon with a report
| that startled the crowd of spectators.
The bullet caromed off the edge of
the bar and went through the end
| partition and across the street, where
it tore a hole in the plate-glass front
of the Tonopah Banking Corporation.
Now the professionals of the COM
pany who had to face the guns OF
Dangehart when he appeared in the
role OF the hold-up in arresting the
progress of a stage coach are asking
| themselves if it is safe to trust them
selves to the shooting of this type
Of the Nevada buckaroo who slips an
occasional loaded cartridge into his
gun. The only extenuation the cow
puncher offers is that he didn't know
it was loaded.-[Tonopah c%orrespon-

MAC NAMARA MYSTERIOUSLY
SCORES A DECIDED ADVANCE

MacNamara was the excitement on
the stock exchange yesterday, with
the stock running away like a quar-
ter horse and landing at ~ when the
gong sounded for the close in San
Francisco. The cause of the actiy-
ty could not be ascertained definitely
owing to the circulation of two re-
ports. one of which aseribed the buy

property, and another that the COM

tract with the Tonopah Divide Tor
handling a much larger tonnage OF

Baby BOYS.


Dear Miss Fairfax: We are two
boys. IA and is years Of age, In the
second year of high school.
We are quite popular with both
sex and considered quite attractive.
OF late we have been invited TO
about two parties week.
Our parents don't approve OF US
going. The boys call us sissies be-
cause we don't go and we are amons
the oldest in the crowd.
We have two girl friends who
are very respectful and who 60 to
these parties. I do not care to go
all the time, but l don't think that
going on Friday would hurt any
thing. One of us boys father is a
preacher and the other school
teacher, SO we have to 60 to Sun
day school and church every Sun
day while the rest of the boys have
q good time, Now, Miss Fairfax,
don't you think we are old enough to
60 out Friday night with a girl.
I I must close. Hoping to see my
letter in print. We remain.
MUTT and JEFF.
You boys are mere children. No
wonder your parents object to your
going to parties two nights a. week.
You need all your strength and
plenty Of sleep at IA and 10 unless
you wish to dwarf your brain and
body. Think of girls and parties
when you finish high school and
have a wee bit more knowledge on
which to base your likes and dis
likes.

600. The number above the dial
represents the number Of cubic feet
of gas used when the hand has
made one complete circuit of that
particular dial. Thus when the
hand has gone around the 1000 dial,
1000 cubic feet Of gas has been
used. Hence each division of that
particular dial is worth 100, and on
each dial the divisions are worth
just one-tenth Of the amount print
ed above the dial. To read the
meter, read each particular dial and
add results. Thus with the hand of
the 100000 dial between 4 and S,
the hand of the 10000 dial between
8 and 9, the hand of the 1000 dial
between 0 and |, and the hand Of
the 100 diak between 6 and 7, the
complete reading would be $4,000.
Always read to the smaller figure
on the dial when the hand is be-
tween two figures. Well, what is
the point of all this! The company
reads the meter each month, as you
all know, then records the readings,
and you pay the difference between
the readings. Thus if your reading
last month was as indicated above,
$4,000, and your reading this
month is S0,380, you would be
charged the difference, or $50. The
price per 1000 cubic feet is always
printed on the bill; so that it is an
easy matter to verify the arithmetic.
If you verify each months reading
and find it correct, your bill must
be correct, unless there is leak
somewhere in the house. I have
been told that the gas pressure at
fects the amount of gas used, that
with very high pressure more gas
is used than is necessary, but that
cause Of high bills cannot be dis
covered through study of meter.
Detecting Gas Leaks.
If you suspect a small leak in the
house, read the meter some time
when no gas is being used in the
house. This test is impossible if
one has a self-lighter on the stove.
If you have pilot lights on the gas
fixtures it is possible to turn the
stop cock off completely during this
test. After reading the meter, do
not use any gas in the house for
an hour or two; then go back and
read the meter second time. II
it registers more than the last read
ing, of course some gas has es-
capped. This test is possible only if
one has a dial registering as low as
10 feet. Some meters have dials
which register only one or two feet.
These would give very sensitive
test.

The puffings which delighted our
grandmothers when they studied
the pages of Godey's Ladies book in
the late sixties have returned to add
loneliness to the spring wardrobe.
An effective afternoon gown of mid
night blue taffeta is made with, an
old fashioned long-waisted basque.
The deep U neck is outlined with
corded putting. The opening is
filled in with vest of tucked or
candle and lace, both 'ecru and
color. A color of the same material
finishes the neck. The sleeves are
quantity old fashioned and end in
a bell-shaped cuff made of corded
puffings. The long waist line is
edged with putting, and a sash of
taffeta ties at the back. The gath
cred skirt is held in narrow line
around the feet by putting shirred
on cord. This gown is extremely
picturesque and smart.

Good Little Peggy.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Please let me, too, have the advan-
tage of your advice. ! am II years
old, and am not beautiful, just the
ordinary type. About year ago 1
moved out here a stranger, and be-
came acquainted with some who
were considered the incest kind Of
girls, but they are so different from
the girls I have been accustomed to
chum with, SO different in actions, !
mean. They tell me that il l don't
change and act like them 1 won't
be popular with the boys. Now,
don't want this to happen, as I-like
a good time. My mother always told
me that the forward and bold kind
only charmed for a while and the
boys soon tire of them and would
turn to the modest lily. But some
how I am beginning to believe that
this Is an 0ld-fashioned maxim and
with the boys don't hold true any
more. What do you think? And
what shall LIDO? Thanking you in
advance, remain,
LONESOME.
An overwhelming desire to be
popular with the boys had kept
more girls from the limelight than
any other one thing. You are pur-
suing the right course and your
Prince Charming will love you the
more for not having been too "popu-
lar" with other boys. Your mother
is right. The bold girls bring bad
luck, as most people express 1t, to
themselves, and when the prizes Of
life are awarded they are greatly
surprised to-find that they get moth
ing but the "booby prize"
