cago. recently told of his experiences
at a free bathing beach in that city,
contrasting them with former expert
ences, particularly while he was a
resident Of Boston. These former
experiences, he says, left him entire
ly u~nprepared for his experience in
Chicago.
There was, he relates, no long pc
riod of waiting in line, and there was
plenty of room, even though thou
sands were in the water and more
were preparing to go in. The bath
house. Of brick and concrete, was
new. and the attendants were courte-
Gus. He was supplied with a locker
key, a dry, white towel, a bathing
suit of proper size. and when he
tried to find the cash register he was
informed that there was no charge.
Another attendant directed him to
his locker, and then, after his first
dip In the cool waters Of Lake Mich
igan. he began to recover from his
surprise.
Chicago. as is well known, is the
second largest city in the United
States. 1t is a progressive city, COM
mercially and industrially, but it is
not advertising itself as a summer
resort or as a watering place. 1t is
safe to say, therefore, that the pro-
visions which have been made there
for the free enjoyment of its bathing
beaches have been made with no
selfish motive. The invitation, as it
should be elsewhere where similar
privileges are available. is to enjoy
them with full freedom. This offers
the fullest access to them by thou
sands who do not feel that they can
afford to pay eve a small charge.

AUTO TOURIST TRAVEL
MEANS MUCH TO CARSON

Electric lights have been installed
at the tourist camp grounds in Car
son City and from this time on, late
arrivals will find this a great con-
venience. Other improvements are
gradually being added, which by an
other season, will place the Carson
ground in a position to bid for the
ever increasing auto travel.
The merchants of this city have
realized during the past several
months what this outside travel
amount. that is the usual family that
son states that it has been a big
thing during what was considered
the dull season. The garage men are
only one factor in the business. as
thousands of dollars have been left
there with business men, SAYS the
Carson City News.
The travelling public realizes that
trips cannot be made for nothing
and they expect to spend a certain
amount, that is the susal family that
Is pleasure seeking, on vacations in
the summer. This has resulted in
Carson gathering in a lot of change
that in years past never came this
way or drifted into the trade chan
nels.
Carson has benefited by the auto
tr: yelling public this year n by a
concerted effort it can be doubled
next season.
The free camp ground has been one
Of the features that has helped draw
travel. The contemplated improve
ments of another year will keep the
rest of the cities in Nevada hustling
to keep up with the procession. as a
community house is to be added and
other attractions that will send the
tourist on his way with a good word
for Carson and the grounds that arc
theirs while in the capital.
This coming week the north end of
the lot is to be cleared and nut in
condition for the army TRANSPORT car

over IL Lincoln highway.

SWIFT THE WORKS OF MEN
BACK TO EARTH AGAIN

Reading history and visiting art
galleries where portraits Of old and
partly forgotten people hang, causes
n to speculate, if one be of that
turn of mind, and compare the past
with the present and wonder about
the future. Some day in the dim
and distant hence doubtless another
people will wonder about US, even as
we wonder about those of thousands
of years ago. And, as we do now,
they will wonder what kind of peo-
pie lived before them. and wonder if
we had loves and hates and ambi-
tons, and wars and civilization, and
politics and policies. and creeds and
religions, and where we had all gone
to and why nothing but crumbling
ruins we're left to silently mark the
fact that we had ever existed.
Weighed in the balance with such
reflections, how small we are! Pol
itical schambles, the wars which
have been waging in Europe, greed
and grasping for riches, and pomp,
and power, and splendor; tearing
each other down that a few may rise
high enough SO God can see what a
miserable lot of wiggle-tail worms
they are; the pushing Of the many
into novels that a few may revel in
palaces; s~ubordinating the better and
higher impulses implanted by the
God of all into the human heart and
brain-all to what purpose? Only
that in time our castles are to crum-
BILE into earth again, and re Shiny
lizards crawl owe the dust once the
animated clay representing o, sselves
and all that we know, or think we
know.
The lesson is, that to leave some
monument in the grateful hearts Ut
men is far greater than to leave but
gilded palaces that are to crumble
even as our frail selves, and that to
sow some seeds of kindness lnong
our paths of life is more promising
of eternal harvest than to be guided
by forgetfulness of the fact that
So swift the works of men

BY ALL MEANS LET'S HAVE
A SWIMMING BATH

The article printed in Tuesdays
issue of The Silver State evidently
accomplished, to some extent, the
object of directing attention toward
the possibility and d~esirability of a
swimming bath for Winnemucca. 1t
is one of the things which would be
a genuine luxury for this town. and
a profitable investment as well.
In nearly every section where
ocean or lake beaches are
available, remarks the Christian Sci
ence Monitor, some provision is made
for their utilization by the public
during a portion of the year. In
some sections, of course, where con-
ditions permit, ocean beaches are SO
utilized the year around. At the
present season, particularly in the
northern regions of the United States,
the seeker after the full freedom
which is supposed to come with the
recurrence Of the annual vacation
period g~ravitates quite naturally to
the seashore, on either the Atlantic
or the Pacific, or to the Great Lakes,
or some other lake, where he finds
opportunities for the diversions he is
seeking. At his journeys end he is
satisfied, If he seeks a measure of
exclusiveness. ever if obliged to pay,
in addition to the other costs If en-
tertainment, a price for the privilege
of beach and bath house.
But this arrangement, agreeable
enough in its way, eve admitting
that it must presuppose m~onopoliza-
ton. in some degree. of privileges to
which it seems all should have equal
Gee without cost. does not solve
the problem with which many of the
larger cities in the northern and
eastern section of the United States
have found it necessary to deal. This
is the problem of the free bathing
beach, so-called.s theoretically. at
least, the free bathing beach should
be such in fact. All its advantages
and comforts, like those of a public
park. should be available without
cost, else they fail to serve some of
the very persons they are designed to
benefit.
In the city of New York. at Coney
Island and Brighton: in Boston, at
Revere, Nantasket. and elsewhere;
and in Chicago. on the lake front; to
cite three conspicuous public under

LIKE LOOKS OF Chiffon

The attention of men of affairs out
side our county has been attracted to
the possibilities of our town and they
have decided rpon it as an ideal place
for the location of manufacturing
plant Within the past ten days our
city was visited by gentlemen in search
of sight for an aluminium plant, the
dimensions of which are To be 90 by
POO feet, three stories high and which
is to be built of concrete with an addi-
ti0n Of a power plant 20 by 80 feet and
provisions made for an addition To the
plant later, The plant viii cost in the
ncighborho0d of 10000 and will en-
ploy from the start scvcnly-fyc to 100
men. The gentlemen were impressed
with our thriving little cits and spoke
foyorably of locating here, provided
that the proper encouragement was
given them 10y our citizens. No bonus
was asked for nor was any stock of
fered for sale. The only condition
stipulated was the cooperation Of our
business men in securing suitable site,
The Chiffon Advancement association
held a meeting on Monday evening, at
which there was u large attendance, to
discuss the matter and after due de
liberation the proposition was unani-
mousIy endorsed, the members pledg-
ing themselves to do all in their power
to bring the contemplated factory to
the town. II was given out at the meet
ing that the men behind the project
would have the plant up and in work
