Bath tubs called
dangerous luxury
when first used.

ADAM THOMPSON, of Cincinnati was the
first man in the United States to use bath
tub.
This on December 20, 1912.
The installation of the bathtub in Mr. Thomp-
sons home and the actual use of it for bathing
in winter, caused widespread publicity, and the
newspapers devoted their columns to violent
discussions of it.
Certain patriots stated that this type of bathing
a dangerous luxury, designed to corrupt
the democratic simplicity of the republic. The
medical fraternity denounced it as dangerous to
health, and bound to result in "phthstic, rheu-
matte fevers, inflammation of the lungs, and the
whole category of zymotic diseases
Legislation reflected the common feeling
The Philadelphia Common Council, late in 1913,
considered an ordinance prohibiting bathing be-
tween November l and March IS, and it failed
of passage by only two votes.
During the year the legislature of Vir-
GINA laid tax of $50 a year all bathtubs.
Boston early in 1S45 made bathing unlawful
except medical advice, but the ordinance
was never enforced and in 1862 it was repealed
President Willard Fillmore installed the first
bathtub in the White House in 1851.
This action broke down practically all pre1u-
dice with the result that by 1850 every hotel in
New York had one bathtub and some had two
and even three.

SURVEYORS AT WORK

The work for making the final
survey for the highway on the west
side of Walker Lake began this week
with crew of men under the di-
rection of w. A. Perkins. They will
work from this end OF the lake north
ward, and will be several months
engaged in the work. Thursday
morning big motor boat was launch
ed in the lake. It will be used by the
surveyors in the pursuance of their
work. The boat is 20 feet long and
has seven feet beam and it is believed
it will withstand the heavy swells
for which the lake is famous. 1t is
equipped with four horse power
motor, which seems pretty small for
such large craft.
1t is hoped that the present party
will not follow the example of his
predecessors, who consuneId( the
peoples money and evidently accom-
plished little. There is lot of work
to be done on this road, and hard
work, and we will be called to pay a
lot Of money for it, and it is up to
State Highway Commission to show
that it is really a highway commits
sion and not abunch of joyriders.
The present survey is the third
that has been made and unsopsihti-

the exhibits, although the great pa
wilton on Williams avenue, erected
for state fair purposes, is chock full
of other things carrying more than
ordinary interest.
Interest seems to have dimin-
ished as a result of lessening the

record as being entirely representa-
tive of the Newands project and the
splendid home building effort that is

The scene of this particular activ-

The secretary Of state has issued
copies of the Nevada motor vehicle
laws, which will be of interest to
every auto owner, as the next pay
ment on licenses, which occurs after
the first of the year will be under the

on the weight of the machines; also
on the ratio of passengers carried
Thirty-five cents per one hundred
pounds or major Traction thereof
and an additional hundred pounds
for the passenger carrying capacity.
In order to be OH the right side
of this problem, correspondence has
been opened between the secretary
of state and the manufacturers as to
the weight rating from the factories.

it will be arranged alphabetically SO
that each owner may know just
what it viii cost for his cars new
license.
Along with the new fee rate all of
the auto and highway laws are in
cluded in the phamplet AS soon as
