WAS ANT|-A|RCRAFT
GUNNER IN FRANCE

Another Humboldt county boy who
has seen much service in France re-
turned here last night in the person
of Frank Z. Olsen, who with his
father and brothers are homesteaders
twenty-five miles south of Sulphur.
Olsen left Winnemucca on October
3, 1917. was trained first at Camp
Lewis and sent to France as MEM
Der of the Fifty-sixth Engineers. In
all, he was in France fifteen months.
six months of which time he spent in
actual fighting territory.
Company c of the F'ifty-sixth was
attached to the first French army and
it was during the Somme offensive
that the $50 members of the company
did such good work that they all re-
ceived the French croix de guerre
(war crosses1. The French citation
awarding the crosses to each member
of Olsen's company states the reasons
were for general excellence in anti
aircraft work, for remarkable bravery
of the entire personnel of the com
Dany; that they were placed in most
exposed positions and so manipulated
heir searchlights as to allow French
artillery to do particularly effective
work against enemy aviators.
Olsen was particularly fortunate, in
that he never was wounded or even
gassed. He tells stories of other
members of his outfit being killed
with bombs, etc, and of German avia-
tors sliding down" the beam of light
east by the searchlight in an effort to
nachine-gun the manipulators thereof.
Ii was during these times that Olsen
got in his good work, for he aimed
and fired the machine Gun carried for
protection for the light and crew In
all he watched six Hun planes crash
70 the earth as a result of being
caught in the light beam and hit with
French anti-aircraft shells.
1t was only a short time before the
armistice was signed that the Fifty
sixth was detached from the French
and sent to the Meuse-Argonne sector
to Join the Americans. Olsen was, of
course, with them on that sector when
the armistice went into effect He
brings out point not spoken of by
other returned fighters and that is
that artillery of both of the Allies and
Germans kept firing, at faster pace
than ever before. right up to the last
second before the armistice became
effective. He says many Frenchmen
that he knows of. who had gone
through the whole war without in
jury, were bumped off" during the
last few moments of the war.
Olsen will leave tonight for Sulphur
and home He said he could hardly
wait for the officer to give him his
discharge papers at Fort Russell a
few days ago and nearly grabbed
them out of the officers hand, so
anxious was he to be through. He
said he wouldn't give up his expert
ence for any sum of money, but by the
same token no sum of money would
induce him to go through it again.

BIG DEMONSTRATION
Of HOME ECONOMICS

The University of Nevada is under
taking an experiment at Elko this
week which, if successful, will be
repeated in other towns of the State
in coming years. 1t is, in effect, a
university extension course in agri-
culture and home economics. Some
time ago the school authorities of
Elko conceived the idea of giving all
high-school boys a weeks practical
course in agriculture. Dean Knight,
head of the agricultural department,
beginning today, he and the Elko boys
will camp at the big Cazier ranch.
near Wells. They will make daily
trips to other ranches, studying con-
ditions and methods. During the
evenings in camp Professor Knight
will give lectures on the subjects
under consideration, and illustrate
his topics with stereopticon slides.
Immediately the age-old question
arose, What shall we do with our
girls?' The high-school girls looked
with envious eyes upon the camping
play even. A breach was opened. as
ii were, in the Elko high school. The
girls were demanding equal rights
and they couldn't go camping on
stock ranch. Into this breach stepped
Professor Millicent l.. Sears, head of
the department OF home economics at
the university, with proposal to
give a weeks demonstration of the
activities of that department. The
proposition was received with ac-
claim.
Professor Sears took extensive
paraphernalia to Elko. There were
things which were confusing to mere
man. but certain items which can be
recalled are a trunk containing twen-
ty-five new spring hats, worth s49
apiece-or thereabouts - which were
made by pupils in her department at
the university with an actual money
outlay of So each for materials. Then
there was steam-pressure cooker,
an iceless icebox, some milkless milk
no, powdered milk. and an assort-
ment of receiptless (correcD recipes.
The proposed demonstrations are
not for high-school girls alone. All
women OF the town or surrounding
country are invited to attend. Miss
Sears explains that there is a consid-
cradle amount of misapprehension re-
garding the scope of work of the home
economics department at the univer-
sity. She means to make 1t known
to people of the State that the depart
ment gives scientific instruction in
nearly all domestic activities-not in
cooking and sewing alone.
Professor Sears is accompanied TO
Elko by two assistants from the de-
partment. Miss Evelyn LaKamp of
Reno, who graduated last Wednesday
with the degree of BIS, and who ex-
poets to teach next year; and Miss
Rachel Sprague of Denver. Colo,
senior in the department. Also ac-
companying and to be present TO take
part in the weeks doings are Mrs.
Katherine Smith. state leader of the
Home Demonstration Agents; Miss
Margaret Johnson. state leader of
boys and girls club work; and Miss
Lamoureux, in charge of the same
work in Eastern Nevada.
All OF these ladies will give lee

Cambridge, Mass. March 16.-The
competition for places on the Har-
ward Varsity ball team is narrow
ing down. The squad went outdoors
this week and two teams which
were formed have played several
close. exciting contests. Coach Duffy
cautioned the pitchers not to over
exert themselves. knowing by long
experience the evil that may follow
too much hard work before the
weather becomes fit for baseball.
The two pitchers who are leading
at present are Winslow FELTON, and
Eli Stillman. Both are right-handers.

mound duty. and is seriously con-
sidering trying Eddie Casey. the

Leader Will Break Tie in

Beyond the pannant urge that
spurs all managers there is another
motive, only a whit less vital. actuat-
ing John McGraw in the rehabilita-
ton of the Gotham tank. 1t Is his
desire to shatter the pennant winning
deadlock that links him and Connie
Mack in the championship reckoning
with the score a 'tie at six titles each.
Today McGraw and Mack divide the
distinction of being the greatest lead
ers in the sport, although Mack has
dropped wads of prestige since the
disintegration OF historic machine.
For the last four years Mack has
campaigned shabby combination
and the ancient glory of the Athletics
Is but a memory. On the other hand
McGraw has maintained his eminence
as a manager and stands upon the
threshold of even greater triumphs as
a club owner. The difference between
McGraw and Mack today is the diff
ference between Alexander and Ma
thewson, or Collins and Lajoie. for
McGraw still is touring the upper
trail while Mack is coasting the skids.
And SO McGraw's objection, beyond

ers and, let us whisper. it's a sale
wager he'll accomplish it.
Although Connie Mack appears to

clared McGraw last night, I'm going
out after that pennant with more de-
termination than ever. for I'm going
to break the deadlock. Connie had

pennant-and l think we have a

erably he won't outdistance the other
