YOUNG man GIVEN
EDUCATION FOR
LOSS OF HAND
LESTER HALL TO RECEIVE
FIVE-YEAR COURSE AND
$4,000

The Tonopah Times Of today
has the following report of the
settlement proposed by the Tono-
pah G Goldfield railroad company
with Lester Hall, the young man
who was knocked off an ore car
at the Mizpah mine last October.
Lester Hall, we'll known to To-
nopahns by reason of having been
in the messenger service of the
Western Union Telegraph company
for a long period, and who had the
misfortune, on Oct. %, to lose his
right hand two inches above the
wrist, as well as suffer the loss
of two fingers and the thumb OF
the left hand, while in the employ
of the Tonopah & Goldfield Rail-
road company, will be looked after
by the company with which he al
employed.
en-. B. Cutter of Philadelphia,
president of the Tonopah & Gold
field Railroad company, and W.
D. Forster, general s~uperntend-
emit, called upon the young man on
New Years day at the home of
his mother, Mrs. Lena Hall, on
Florence avenue, and made the fol-
lowing proposition, according to
young Hall in a statement made
to the Times last night:
"The railroad company will pay
for five years. schooling at any
school the young man may select;
pay him SOS a month for a period
of one year; pay all hospital and
doctors fees, purchase him an ar
tificial limb and allow him in
cash the sum Of $4,000.
young Hall is only 18 years OF
age. and under the laws Of this
state it will be necessary to have
a guardian appointed to look
after the $4,000. The mother will
no doubt be appointed to look
after the boys interests.
"The accident which resulted so
disastrously to Lester Hall oc-
Cured when he was knocked off
an ore car by being struck by a
coal bin near the Mizpah mine.
From Oct. % until a few days ago
he was confined to the Mine OPP
orators hospital, when he was dis
charged as cured and permitted to
return to the home of his mother.
That he escaped with his life was
considered miraculous.

P. J. SOMtRS
WITH S. O.. S. SERVICE

In a letter to the Goldfield coun-
Gil, Knights Of Columbus, of which
he is a member, Lieutenant Peter
J. Somers, with the American fore
landed at Brest, although of ours
when he first set foot ON French
soil over seven months ago he was
not accorded a reception anything
similar to that with which the
French people greeted the presi-
dent.
He says in a letter dated Dec.
12: "As for my part in the war,
I have been entirely in the S. o.
s., or service Of supplies. I land
ed over here May 10 on the steam
er Great Northern, which used to
be in the Pacific. We landed at
Brest, the same port at which
President Wilson is expected to
land tomorrow morning. 1t Is
some place, too, but I guess the
president viii not have to stay In
the same barn we did, the one In
which Napoleon used to keep his
best horses. Pontagenon barracks
is a rest camp. If you can rest
sleeping on a board"
Lieutenant Somers, after one
week at Brest, e%ntrained, and Of
the train he says: mo matter
when you get on one, or where
you are going, you always ride
right over a flat wheel. This is
the truth"
The Goldfeld soldier finally
was stationed at the famous Camp
st. Sulpice, about IA miles from
Bordeaux, when there were only
II warehouses in the camp, but
"today we have owe IA, with
over 80 miles of railroad track.
This is a wonderful place and
gives a fine idea of what the
Americans have done over here.
1t is truly marvellous.
Every day for the past five
months we have sent up 100000
rations, each ration being the al
lowance for one nan for one day.
We have also supplied enormous
quantities OF clothing and miscel-
laneous army supplies. including
over 10000. 900 pounds of oats
and over $4,000, 900 pounds of hay
for forage. So you can see we
have not been idle"

NEW MATERIAL FOR
CONCENTRATION USE

1t has always been impossible to
obtain a satisfactory covering for
concentration tables used in the
treatment of mineral ores. In lieu
of a better material, linoleum has
been largely used for the purpose,
but the abrasive action of the
ores and, in the case of inc waters
containing sulphuric acid, the cor
rosive action of the acid destroys
the linseed oil content of linoleum
and necessitates its frequent re-
placement.
Minefab is the name of a new
material which has been. specially
developed to meet the require
ments demanded of a concentration
table covering, and a recent service
testing program, carried on stimuli
taneously in a number of different
mining districts, has proved con-
clusively that all detectives have
been attained. Minefab will give
longer anu mOTc cAIlCiOHI OCA VIC
than any other material.
Minefab is made with a heavy
fabric base, coated on both sides
with an extremely tough, flexible,
protective film of pyroxylin which
ruggedly resists abrasion and is
highly immune to sulphuric acid
c~orrosion. The coolest weather
does not affect its flexibility and
it is absolutely waterproof. Being
white in color, the contrast be-
tween it and the ore increases the
opportunity of recovering a maxi
mum of the metallic content from
the sludge.
Minefab fills a long-felt want in
the mining field and is destined
to have the WIDEST use, not only on
account of the advantages above
recited, but also because of its low
replacement cost based on length
of efficiency and service.

COUNTRY
SHORT ON coin
MEXICO FINDS WHITE METAL
HAS DISAPPEARED FROM
CIRCULATION

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 4. - In
finite annoyance to every resident
and an ~appreciable loss to business
houses has resulted from the vir-
tual disappearance from circula-
ton of silver coins. These COM
prise half peso pieces and those of
20 and 10 centavos. The constant
ly increasing price of silver has
given spectators a chance to
make enormous profits by corner
ing the silper coins for sale as
bullion. When the shortage be-
came. noticeable, the capital press
printed stories on the disappear
anec of the coins. An immediate
rush to hoard what coins remain
ed then began.
Persons without change are un-
able to make small purchases, as
many merchants will decline to
sell if they are forced to give sill
yer change for a 10 or 20 peso
gold piece. The government, to
relieve the situation, is rushing
preparations to mint a new gold
coin worth two and one-half pesos.

STATUS OF B 0AR
TO Be DECIDED
BY COURT

The entire contention regarding
the legality of the new board of
county commissioners and of the
bills passed by the old board at
the meeting on Monday again came
up this afternoon and at $3.50 the
board adjourned, after deciding
to take the matter before the dis
trict court for decision.
The matter was brought to a
head when Mrs. Rose Malone ap-
peared before the board and asked
that her position regarding the
drawing of county warrants for
the payment of bills be made clear.
After the various points had
been discussed at length, County
Clerk Robertson said: I'VE are
getting nowhere. The court is
the right place to settle this"
Commissioner Rockford replied:
every we'll, let us take it there"
It is understood the district at
torney will prepare some action,
probably mandamus proceedings
of a friendly nature, and that the
matter will go before the court
within the next few days.
A number of mothers pensions
were before the board this after
noon, with the result that n was
cut from $25 to SIS, one from $40
to $40, and three, totaling $45,
were cut off entirely.

TANK CORPS MEN
WILL ORGANIZE
NATIONAL FRATERNITY OF
TANK CATS TO BE
FORMED

CHARLOTTE, N. c.. Jan. 4. -
The Tank Cats" an organization
of Chicago tank corps men, was
formally launched at a meeting
held recently at Camp Greene near
this city. The movement to or
ganize members Of the tank corps
into a permanent body is expected
to spread over the whole country,
as almost every large city is rep
resented in its personnel. Qualifi-
cation for membership is based
on service in the tank corps dur
ing time of war.
The purpose of the organization
is to promote and maintain pub
lie interest in the tanks as an arm
of the service and to form a bond
between its members by means
Of social and ~fraternal activities.
Similar meetings have been call
ed of men representing the cities
of New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, San Francisco and others.
When all these separate chapters
have been perfected it is planned
to call a general meeting of del
egates from each for the purpose
of forming a national organization.

"fLU" EPIDEMIC
IN TONOPAH
SUBSIDIES
SCHOOLS REOPENED - ONLY
-FOUR NEW CASES
REPORTED

The "flu" epidemic at Tonopah
has abated and the schools will re-
open there on Monday, according
to the Times of this morning.
At a meeting of those interested
held yesterday afternoon at 1890
o'clock in the office of DIR. C. J..
Richards, county health officer,
and which was attended by County
Commissioner Thomas Lindsay, r.
b. Davis and w. J.. Douglass,
School Trustees Thomas j. Lynch
and Fred MINIS, DIR. Richards and
Professor George L. Dilworth, It,
vas decided that the schools
should reopen on Monday morning.
Rules and regulations were dis
cussed which will properly con-
serve the health of those attend
ing school and it is believed that
by adhering strictly to the rules
laid down. all danger of contagion
will be eliminated.
Professor Dilworth, on behalf of
the teachers Of the schools, sub
mitted a proposition that met with
instant favor. The idea is to d.
vide the pupils of each room into
groups of not more than sever
and that each group be notified at
what hour to appear. Masks will
be worn sby both teachers and pu-
pills.
The teachers have willingly Wi
urteered to tender their services
for one-half day each Saturday for
the balance of the school year.
while they have also agreed to
teach one week longer than would
have occurred had not the epiden-
ic of influenza visited this city.
In this way they hope to make up
a goodly portion Of the lost time
orcasioned by the closing OF the
schools on Oct. 90.
Four new cases were reported in
Tonopah yesterday. The disease
seems to be in a mi1der form than
in the first attack.

FOOD SHIPMENTS
EASTERN TERMINALS CONGEST-
ED BY STRIKE AND 9TH
Err CAUSES

NEW YORK, Jan. 3. = The
food administration has placed an
embargo on the shipment of all
classes of freight, particularly food
stuffs, for American troops abroad
and Europe's starving populations,
intended for export through the
ports of New York, Boston and
Philadelphia. 1t is impossible to
handle or provide cargo space for
the accumulated supplies, due to
the freight handlers strike, the
fact that many ships are being
drydocked and the holiday shrink
age in the labor supply.

SAGE OF JAPAN
SAYS GERMANY
WILL GAIN
PREDICTS TEUTON EMPIRE
WILL BECOME POLITICAL
LABORATORY

TOXIC, Jan. 4. - Viscount
Uchida, Japan's foreign minister,
recently declared that the United
States, after offering the world
every proof of their absolute i'm
partiality and fairness, completely
startled it by the astonishing feats
of arms and of civil efficiency
which American troops and organ
izers have displayed.
The viscount was speaking at a
banquet held here to celebrate the
capitulation of Germany. The
function was arranged by the al
lied societies of Toxic and was
n of the most impressive ever
held here. Nearly all the leading
statesmen of Japan were present
as well as a large number of for
eigners, including Americans with
the American ambassador, Roland
s.. Morris.
The speaker expressed the opin-
ion that Germany may become a
political laboratory and the scene
of fruitful experiments in political
science, which, he added, is one
of the deciderata of our time. He
believed that the genius of Ger
many was not suited to centraliza-
ton and military empire, but rath-
er for variety and dispersion and
that Germany was "most herself
when she was most divided"

overstuffed davenport and a chair for

With the reconstruction along the
servant line and the consequent scar
city of maids, the kitchen is rising
from an obscure place to the most
important role in the house. True,
women who take pride in the smooth
running of their homes have always
seen that their cooks had more or
less convenient setting for their &C.

All OF us have our dream castles,
each Ills palace or his vine covered
cottage as the case may be, in which
we dwell after days that have been
trying, and through whose COOL quiet
vistas we wander alone, loathe to re-
turn and take up the duties which face
us In our prosaic boarding houses or
self running apartments. We read
reAfns Of literature on how to use diff
ferent periods tremendously, what to
choose from the bewildering outlay
in the best furniture stores, and how
to combine last years chintz with this

treatises could be written in this space

experience quite recently herself and

"don'tsv than dos" to help young or

yet happy task of selecting a back
ground which will pease and not
crate.

many. "A very good thing to remem-
Der is that the best Of anything is

tails that count, she had tea towels
and aprons made of blue and white

and having design of flowers in gay
colors cross stitched in the corners.

If the Kitchen is symbolical of the
digestive tract, the living room is the
heart of the home, and tits here we
should next turn our thoughts. The
faddy should be eschewed and an idea
of cheerfulness carefully maintained
in selecting furniture, draperies or
rugs. Popular colors this season are
umbrian blue, mandarin red, butter
color and esmeralda green. For the
family living room draperies of sun
fast over glass curtains or silk net are
in good taste. Grapes of solid color
with valance of blocked linen are
seen also, and this combination might
happily be used if one had enough Of
the solid material for sides and want
ed to add new note of color in the
furnishings. For a window which
frames view the main idea is of
course to make the draperies as at.
tractive as possible and at the same
time to frame the view without oblit.

drapes of figured chintz reaching the
sill should frame the window and the
glass curtains of plain net should be

rod so they may be pulled back en-.

coming firmly imbedded in house
owners minds, for the demand for
the very finest furniture is greater
than it has ever been before. The
cheap, the faddy and the garish no
longer satisfy.
Nothing can so produce discord In
a room as overcrowding of furniture.
No matter how attractively decorated,
no matter how good the lines Of the
furniture, unless there is an air OF
spaciousness and sense Of proper
grouping. we might as well begin all
over. Too much OF even the best can
ruin the entire effect. The sensible
thing to do (and oh, isn't it difficult,
when one is amid seas of attractive
bits Of furniture) is to select the YER
lest few pieces, have them sent out
and try them in different spots until
they fit then decide what other pieces
will complement them nicely, and
purchase accordingly. How much
more sane to thus gradually furnish
the home for which we have longed
than to do it headlong and regret 1t
the rest of our lives.
Another item of greatest Importance
to consider is the grouping OF our
chairs, tables and lamps so that sew
eral persons may be seated without
some OF them being behind the glass
door or facing the hall. Note how
few living rooms have their chairs so
placed, and you will be astonished.
This rule of grouping, if followed
carefully, will result in harmonious
whole, even If there aren't numbers
of good looking pieces Of furniture
about. 1t applies to every room
whether old or new and should be OBJ
served faithfully. Groupings may be
arranged SO that the whole family
will get the glow from the fireplace,
for instance, and still may engage in
conversation not including the whole
