last year" said Miller today | told
republican leaders at that time that

That still is my intention. ! realized
that to become a candidate last year

EVEN HUPMo5ILEs ARE
TOO SLOW FOR JAMES

James eastman, distributor of Hup-
mobiles for this district. is all up In
the air. or at least he will be by the
Fifth He says travel is too slow by
even the Hup. There
fore he intends to make the fight
with Lieut. Wells from Las Vegas to
Los Angeles on July Fifth. in the
Curtis bi-plane. which is coming to
Vegas for the Fourth.
Perhaps James is going up in the
air through jealousy of DR.. O'Brien
who will accompany Lieut.. Wells in
his flight from Los Angeles to Vegas.
but more probably the reason is that
he has exhausted every possible SEN
sation in automobile stunts and
wants to try the coming method of
locomotion. James is planning an
ad. for the Age which will read some

WARM WEATHER ARRIVES
ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE
Summer Temperatures in Las
Vegas Free From Danger to
Life or Health

"Just as advertised" for this time
of year, the weather in Vegas is
warm But we are not feeling sorry
fer ourselves--not a bit of 1T. we
expect IL to be hot and most OF us
like it. especially when we compare
our dry, hot days with the weather
the natives of the east and south and
middle west endure.
Those who live in a climate where
80 degrees is uncomfortable, 80 sti-
fling and 90 almost uncomfortable, can't
understand how we can enjoy "busl-
ness as usual" when the mercury
mounts to 10 in thermometers eX-
posed to the radiated heat of build
ings and lO8 in the official shelter OF
the government weather station.
The normal summer heat of Las
Vegas is far less trying to the human
animal than the normal summer
weather of Minnesota. for example.
in the middle west the air is humid.
the days sultry and depressing and
labor i'm the open is fraught with dan
ger. Also, the nights are about as
hot as the days. Here the almost
phere approaches close to absolute
dryness, and in no danger and the
nights are cool and delightful. Only
on those rare occasions when there
is humidity i'm the air heralding an
approaching storm. do we suffer from
heat in this country. and then but for
a day or two.
We give below the maximum and
minimum temperature for June to
date, the readings covering the "a
hours ending at 6 p. m. on the dates
named The government thermome-
ters are enclosed in the regulation
government shelter so planned as to
give the temperature of the air free

diation from surrounding objects.

MACHINE TURNED TURTLE
Putnam Men Pull Norwich Merchant
 From Under Steering Wheel

John Walker, undertaken for l.. F.. Smith, and James Barnes, of the same firm, arrived just in time to rescue Nathan Gilman, Norwich merchant, from a position that might have caus- ed his death Saturday morning three miles this side of Chepachet, after Mr. Gilman's machine had turned tur- tie and pinned him under it. Mir, Walker and Mir. Barnes were on their way to River Point when they came upon the machine which had skid ded across the road, throwing it's driver underneath with the steering wheel resting on his chest and pinning him down. He had been in that posi- ton for nearly half an hour and was unable to extricate himself when he was found.
 The Putnam men pulled Gilman from under the car and took him into Chepachet, where they summoned 8 physician and notified relatives in Norwich. MT. Gilman was badly bruised, but his injuries are not ex- pected to prove serious.
 When the machine was first sight ed the engine was still running and the rear wheels, pointing straight up were revolving at top speed.

 While 1 was in Germany I nearly straved to death. For three weeks we had nothing to eat except soup once a day and little piece of bread. For breakfast we had coffee and for supper, tea; but after three weeks of that kind of hardship we were sent to an American prison in Germany call ed Rastatt.
 "There we got box full of good food that came from the Red Cross. If it had not been for that l think l would have been dead by now. l don't know how much can thank the Red Cross for what they have done for all the U s. boys while we were in Germany.
 'I was captured the 9th of Septem- Der and released the Sth of December. When we left Germany we went through Switzerland. We got all kind of good things. We got choco- late. cigarettes, tobacco, sandwiches and coffee, and many other good things. We were treated very nice all the way up to France.
