Spring, according to Father Time
and the best authorities, began yes
J. terday but there is little in the real
estate reports of the past few days to
show that the spring boom that is
usually found in the local real estate
market and the building trades is
taking place, although most of the
real estate dealers OF the city seem to
be exceedingly busy n promise that
several reports that will surprise the
city as far as real estate sales are
concerned are about ready to be re-
leased.

By WILLIAM H. BAWDEN
UMBRELLAS

Do you ever read the brief articles
by the Reverend Charles Stelzle, which
appear in the papers so often now-a-
days? They are well worth reading,
especially the one hat appeared last
Thursday evesing in u own EVE
MING NEWS, entitled "Abiut Preach
ers-' Som times a man thinks
things, and wants to say them, but
Tor various reasons refrains from so
doing; n then somebody else comes
along and says them better than he
himself could do. Hunt it up, read it
for yourself, and do q little reflect
ing.
But what has hat to do with UNI
brellas? Did anybody say that it did ?
But did you ever hear the old saw,
Amy fool can carry an umbrella when
1T rains. but it takes a wise man to
carry n when it does not rain?" In
which lass do you proclaim yourself,
by your W actions, to belong? Not
that anybody else really rares, exrept
for the smirk that unbidden .adorns
The face. Any fool can see thru a
stone wall after somebody else has
taken h trouble to bore a hole thru
it, while 1t takes a wise man to tell
otherwise what is on the other side
of that wall.
Now have you hunted up yet last
Thursdays paper, and found, on the
editorial page, the brief article re-
ferred to? Perhaps your wife used it
to start the fire with, in which case
an investment of two cents at the Of
flee of the EVENING NEWS will &C
commodate a limited number. How
can you know what this is all about,
n what umbrellas have to do with
1t, unless you do read that squib? Per
haps you are a politician, in which
case il will do you good, and help you
to understand just why your fellow
citizens vote for you again and again.
Some folks are lonesome without
a crowd. They hunger for the adula-
tons OF the many. Mr.. Stelzle tells
n how to be happy along that line.
Watch the streets on a rainy day:
practically every sail is hoisted. Why
not? It's raining, and that is what
umbrellas are for. It's spring, too,
n the riga grinder is on the job.
The music hat assails my ears from
afar seems to come from the center
of a crowd. 1t Toes. What is the
crowd gathering for? To watch the
antics of the monkey that the organ
grinder carries with him to keep him
from being lonesome.
Umbrellas? Sure, 1t is always good
to carry them over ones head when
1t rains, even if a thousand or more
people are doing the same. But let
us not forget what a simple thing il
is to get a lot OF people doing the same
thing. Let US also not forget that
it does not require anything much OF
a high order to get the crowd. Let
us also not forget, when for any rea-
son we find ourselves amid a crowd
to ask ourselves why we are there. OF
course. it may be just raining. Then
again, it may be a monkey.

Tells VLDe Of Local Men,
Members V311h Infantry
Waiting To Come Home

Miss Edith Crowell, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. A. II. Crowell of Rector
street. who is in Red Cross work at
Paris, recently paid a visit to her
brother, Lieut.. Malcolm Crowell. who
is with the 311th infantry of the
Lightning Division, and in a letter
to her parents, she describes the visit
and also tells of some of the activi-
ties of men in Company ID, most OF
whom are from Perth Amboy. Her
highly interesting story is, in part:
My visit to Malcolm came off as
planned. l had asked for a ~three-day
permit to leave Paris, N expected
two, but was surprised to be granted
four. Having obtained the necessary
permits and passes l left early Friday
morning, was fortunate enough to
meet an officer from hat division in
the Paris station. He took me "un-
der his wing" and we fought our way
through the excited crowd. All the
carriages were jammed with soldiers
of all nationalities and / fully expect
ed to stand for the five hours trip,
but some American officers offered us
part of a carriage hat they had been
fortunate enough to get and hold.
Pete Fiigen met me at the little
station of Les Eeumes. Pete rides a
donkey with as much ease as he Lie
the hook and ladder. 1t is a proud
company that is waiting for General
Pershing to visit hat battalion as
Pete is one of the favored ones who
is to be decorated with the d. S. &.
He is marked for especial bravery as
a runner at the time Sergeant Franz
blau made the supreme sacrifice.
Malcolm arrived a few minutes
later in a side car and off we went
over those winding roads up and
down hill. This part of the country
is a great vineyard section, and is
mentioned in Caesars commentaries,
so you can imagine the age of the
various forts and villages we passed.
Flavigny is the village where their
battalion is billeted and is situated on
the top of a hill or small mountain.
1t looked like one of MaYfield Par
rishes' paintings with its towers and
walls rising clear up into the blue
skies. We kept whirling around cor
ners as we climbed that hill. The
roads are beautiful to look back up
on. as they are usually bordered on
both sides with miles Of poplar or
sycamore trees n are even now in
| good condition Notwithstanding the
immense traffic they have a to

Madame Blot, a wee small old
lady who fairly adores u boys, fits
around her home in her 10th shoes
but always slips into her wooden
sabots if she ventures out of doors.
She carries on long one-Sided con-
versations with the boys.
Il met all the Amboys boys on Sun
day afternoon and told them all the
news / could think of, of course they
were most interested in the explosion
so / described the excitement. Bull
Wrinkle looks great and makes a fine
looking soldier, Smith is quite the envy
of the other fellows because Of the loss
of the tip of one Of his fingers Parkas

coat which has a hole through the
collar and a denied insignia button

ably weighs more and is the sergeant
in charge of the commissary. Joe
Hornsby is with another company,
but is the Joe of old. He looks very
well and was anxious TO lear the
news. His brother Austin was visit
ing him. l never would have known
him as he is so large. Natoli, Mr..
Palisi's nephew, who is in the band,
looked well n happy.
Il sang for them all at the i hut
on Sunday night an old song Malcolm
used to sing, and Lead Kindly

upon me that now is the time that will
be hardest to repay to these boys over
here, three days OF waiting with moth
ing to do but the eternal drill and
moro drill; they are so brave and fine
about it and TO see them playing
checkers or cards or else getting in a
group and singing, anything to kill
time until those wonderful orders to
sail arrive.

NEED CLOTHING
MORE THAN FOOD
Red Cross Finds Refugees
Wearing Canvas and Blank
cts in Devastated Villages

PARIS, France, Feb. 26.-The need
for clothing among hundreds of thou
sands of refugees in rance is even
more imperative than food That Is
the substance OF a statement con
tanned in the report of fifty investi-
gators OF the American Red Cross
working in and about Paris. The re-
port says:
Most of the refugee families man
age to nourish themselves on the gov
eminent allowance and their small
wages, but they are by no mean
able to clothe themselves. As the
present prices of clothing in France
are prohibitive, the ICED of this kind
of assistance is obvious. Accordingly,
we decided to give food only when
special nourishment was ordered by
a physician. but to continue TO look
after the clothing need as Imperative
1t is estimated that the German in
vasion of France and Belgium made
wanderers of $780, 600 formerly
happy country people of these coun-
tries.
Children Wearing Blankets.
Now that the conflict Is over and
the occupied territories OF france and
Belgium have been liberated, these
refugees arc Fastening back to their
former homes in large numbers. They
have no thought of the ruins, the cold
weather, or their condition as re.
CARDS sufficient clothing. only the
longing to get back to their homes oc-
cupy their minds.
In passing their ruined villages and
towns, they can be seen standing in
the doorway of houses which have for
their roofs nothing but a sheet of can
vas which says under the weight OF
the snow. Smoke curls up from a
hole in the ground and investiga-
ton of its source discloses a family of
four huddled about a fire in the cellar
of a completely wrecked home. The
children wear old blankets, and the
parents work and sleep in a ragged
patchwork of costumes. To the Red
Cross man. who visits them, thC
mother says:
I'VE would not mind il we only had
a few clothes to keep us warm while
we work. My boy has not left the
fire for three days. It's so cold out
side and he has nothing but q blanket
to put around him."
The gift of a pair OF socks by
passing American doughboy TO an old
peasant at Contains brought tears oil

socks increasingly. Another wears q

While Visiting Native Home Eu-

Army, But Finally Escapes

Joe Rodrigous. who has worked
for the Eureka Live Stock Company
for a number of years and is better
known as Mexican Joe. returned to
Eureka last Sunday on the motor
from his native land. Old Mexico,

Joe left here nearly a year ago for
a visit to his folks at home and had
no trouble in getting across the bor-
der and joining his relatives; he was
having a pleasant visit. had been
Joined in wedlock, and was preparing
to return to this country when a
Mexican recruiting party forced him
to enroll and join the Mexican army.
He later decided he did not ARE to
chase Villa and took French leave.
With the assistance of friends and
a good sized roll he secured two
saddle horses and a pack animal, and
he and his wife succeeded in getting
back across the border and into New
Mexico. By this time he had been
cleaned of all his funds, could go no
further. and had to go to work. He
communicated with Eureka friends
for assistance. and although money
orders were sent twice from here. he
failed to connect with them and they
were returned to Eureka. Finally
getting together funds enough for
transportation for himself and wife
to Salt Lake, they reached there last
week and ~telegraphed Phil Paroni
for money to come TO Eureka.
They made connection with this
latter amount and arrived here last
Sunday. smiling and happy and glad
to be with friends again.
After resting here from their
rather strenuous honeymoon trip,
the couple left Thursday for the Eu-
reka Live Stock ,Company's Bull
Creek ranch in Nye County. where
they will be located for the present.

Road Conditions
Out Of Eureka

w. II. Russell made a trip to Ruby
Hill Thursday by auto. and although
there is still some snow to push
through, a few days more goodweath-
err should leave the road in fairly
good condition. An auto came
through from Elko Wednesday via
Railroad Canyon and reported fair
roads all the way, but a little rough.
Teams with wagons and light loads
are now making it over the Pinto
summit, but it will take another
week or ten days of fair weather be-
fore autos can hope to get over on
their own power. We believe no at
tempts have recently been made to
get over the Newark summit except
on horseback and with pack animals.
No one has yet attempted to get
through over the road to Austin, but
it is understood parties here will at
tempt to make the trip in a few days.
Russell & Minoletti expect to be
able to make a trip to Hamilton with
their big tractor the first of next
week
