DESIGNER MUST ALTER PLANS
Lingerie Should Be In Keeping With
the Clothes Under Which
IL 10 Worn.

The pencil silhouette that still pre-
walls Is not merely a matter of the
frocks one wears or the stays beneath
them, but the lingerie worn with them
has had it's share in producing this
hipless appearance. So as skirts
shorten or widen, lengthen or grow
narrow, the lingerie designer must
alter her plans.
The complete change In skirt pro-
portions that has taken place has
called for a right-about In petticoat
construction and recently the lingerie
makers have been confronted with the
problem Of making a suitable slip to
be worn with the chemise frocks that
still are worn.
More and more interest is taken In
children's underwear, and nowadays
the daintiest fabrics are used for it.

MAN IS Warned
BY SPIRIT VOICE
Strange Experiences Make Him
Firm Believer in Psychic
Phenomena.
SAVES LIFE IN THE WAR
Mysterious Voice Urges Him to Move
and as He Obeys Minnie Ball
Crashes Into the Spot
Where He Lay.

London, Ark.-W. D. Studer, seventy
ty-four years old of this place, pres
ent at a gathering of "old-timers"
here, said he had come to be firm be-
lever in telepathy, or psychic phenom-
ena. Many things had happened in
his long life, he said, that served to
strengthen his belief in the supernat-
ural, or mysterious forces that have
puzzled all mankind since the days
Of Adam.
For example, Mr.. Studer's brother
was wounded in the battle Of Gettys-
With help, Mr.. Studer, who was also
in the battle, placed his brother behind
q huge bOwlder and then observed that
the federals were advancing. Their
advance was met by fire from Long
streets men.
Mysterious Voice Warns.
/ 'This exposed a number of us to our
own fire." Mr.. Studer explained. Stu
der and several of his companions laid
down fiat behind the bOwlder, as it
(
standing, owing to the hail of bullets
that were flying over them.
Something whispered to Studer to
get up. "Movew said a mysterious
voice close to his ear He did move,
and was no sooner upon his feet than
a minnie ball crashed into the bowlder
exactly where he had lain.
If he had remained there three Sec
onds longer the ball would have en-
tered his breast. Many other soldiers,
of course, had similar experiences, but
Studer is positive that he was warned
by a voice.
In ISIS in a dream vision, Studer,
then living 1T Nheelan Springs Ark,
saw q near relative shot in q fracas in
Oklahoma. where the relative then
lived. The vision was very realistic,

WANTS CONCRETE ROAD
ACROSS NEYADA-WILL
ASH FOR APPROPRIATION

Nevada can be proud of the fact that
education stands first in the list of
State expenditures.
Under this head, the State Control
led lists 1904, HAAS as expended DUR
ing tn past year. This fact is a credit
to the people of the state.
Controller Cole had his report ready
for the Legislators when they conven-
ed Monday. 1t shows that the total
valuation of State property is s2,231,-
093. AZ. These figures include all
State property of whatsoever charact-
er.
Another item in the report that
is worthy of mention Is the surplus
that is shown. All of the bills against
the State have been paid, and yet there
is $402.S76.O2 remaining in the treas
TRY.
During the war period $107 400 was
invested in Liberty Bonds by the diff.
ferent State departments.
The only loss in revenue anticipated
is the s71,745.S0 from liquor licenses.
This will be made up in large part by
increased auto licenses and in heri-
tanee taxes.

Interesting High
School Notes

On Thursday morning, the sixteenth,
a number of high school students were
honored by being presented with priz-
es rs the result of their best efforts
along various lines.
The first prize to be awarded was
given to Audrey Springmeyer. At the
Eighth Grade Commencement last
Spring Judge Coleman offered a prize
of $3.50 to the eighth grade graduate
who wrote the best essay on the life of
Benjamin Franklin. Beside doing this
the winner was to earn a dollar and
fifty cents which was to be spent with
the prize for Thrift Stamps and Miss
Springmeyer was adjudged the winner.
Frey Brown received an Ace medal
from the U. S. Treasury Department
for selling $3.50 worth of War Savings
Stamps and two palms for 5000 addit-
iona sale. In all he sold more than
$3.50 worth of stamps.
A contest was conducted by the
State Council of Defense last year in
which all the high schools of the state
took part. A former student, Margar-
et Dangberg, was awarded first place.
She received a certificate of honor and
her essay received notable mention in

SMITH VALLEY
HAS WATER
PROBLEM

Farmers in Smith Valley that hold
late water appropriations under the
Colony ditch, are much concerned as
to the future results Of the Saroni
land scheme, according to report from
Wellington. 1t has been some years
since the Jew" ranch, now owned by
Saroni, has been farmed. Much of
the land holds an old water right
Gating back to the eighties. With the
completion of the new canal, this land
will again be cultivated during the
coming summer. 1t is claimed that
when the Saroni land takes water from
the Walker river which it is entitled
to take by prior right, that the new
farms under the Conony ditch will
face serious shortage of water dur
ing dry seasons. The flood waters of
the Walker river will be sufficient to
irrigate the first crop of alfalfa, but
the second crop as we'll as grain will
suffer for lack of water on the new
ranches.
There is a movement under way
to perfect a storage system to COM
pletion. using Alkaii lake as a reser-
voir, tapping it at low level by means
of tunnel. Such a storage system
would solve the water problem of
Smith Valley for all time, allowing
the cultivation of several thousand
Gnreclaimed land as well as supplying
ali land now under cultivation.

NEyADA'S GREATEST EXPENSE
Is FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

A concrete road across the entire
State of Nevada is the plan of e. d.
Mack, Republican Assemblyman from
Washoe, says the Sparks Tribune.
He will introduce bill In the legis-
latrre calling for bond issue of two
million dollars for this purpose The
IRssemblyman believes that If the State
raises this sum the Government will
add at least the same amount and
that with the proceeds the concrete
road can be constructed.
No additional tax would be imposed
upon the people, according to the pro-
posed terms of the bill
The money that is now raised for
highways, plus the amount that is col
lected for automobile licenses would
be used to pay the interest on the
bond issue.
Mr.. Mack calls attention to the fact
that dirt road construction is not last
ing, and that the amount now available
for road purposes is hardly sufficient
to pay for the repairs of roads, let
alone construction of new roads.
No definite route for the concrete
highway is suggested by the father of
the measure, but he advocates 1t as
one of the best plans for the develop
ment of the State as it would bring
thousands of tourists through Nevada
and besides giving Nevada merchants
and hotels the advantage of the trade,
1t would advertise the State at first
hand.
