DRAMATIC CLUB
HAS REAL TALENT

u 49,. y
Time and space prevented an
accent of the Sagebrush Dramatic
Clubs performance in our last
issue and we feel that their efforts
are deserving of special mention.
Their first offering on their pro-
gram, This is so Sudden by the
Misses Ruth Johnson, Hazel
Strosnidcr. Ruth Riggs, Beatrice
and Dorthy Carroll was very
we'll enacted. In this Miss John
son and Beatrice played the more
important parts but all of the
parts were we'll acted. The sec
ond number, I'm Honor Bound, ;"
a dramatic offering, was quite a
dressy affair and afforded good
opportunity for fine and emotion
al work. Villa Damon and Wal
ter Warren shared honors in the
juvenile roles. Madaline Warren
as Lady Carolyn, in both read
ing of her lines and fine express
sion did fu1l justice to a difficult
part. The central figure was
Bertram Hill and as Sir George
he was all to be desired. Charles
Van Benschoten in black face
monologue between acts was very
clever. Their closing number
|"Uncle Jink's Proposal was the
event of the evening and pro-
voked applause from the rise to
the drop of the curtain. Mrs.
Catherine Warren, as the old
maid could not have done better.
Beatrice Carroll and Harry Max
well i'll the carefree juvenile roles
showed much natural ability.
Bertram Hill as the old exuber-
ant bachelor Uncle was a scream.
The program was we'll bal
anced and the nicely packed in
audience was not slow in DEM
onstrating their appreciation. To
Mr. Hill. their director, much
credit is due and we hope to be
favored with more OF the happy
results Of his ability'-so don't
be long about it, Bert!

Club Has Interest
ing Meeting 6

1tdSl Ndllil Qd dllSili0Oh' "'i -
pecialIy interesting meeting OF
the Woman's Club was held at
the Mutual Theatre, with state
superintendent w. ]. Hunting as
the honor guest.
The public was invited and
special invitation was extended to
the Woman Club OF Mason and
to the. Parent Teachers Clubs OF
both Mason and Yerington. Rep
resentatives were present from
these two organizations.
The president, Mrs. Sadie
Plummer' presided.
Mr. and Mrs. Grimmer favored
with a beautiful selection, Tar
antella" by Bohm which was en-
Enthusiastically encored, and Mrs.
Grimmer sang, with much ex-
preston, sacred number, en-
titled Vision" a composition OF
her own which is delightful. Her
encore was Down the Vale,"
which was also very enjoyable.
Balloting upon candidates for
membership was then in order
and Mrs. Grace Penrose, Mrs.
Violet Mcleod and Mrs. d. ].
Thies were unanimously elected.
Mr.. G.. B. Bleasdale, our high
school principal, with very appro-
pirate remarks, graciously pre-
sented Mr.. Hunting, the speaker
Of the afternoon.
The subject of Mr.. Huntings
address was, "Americanization
thru Education which is attract
ing worldwide attention today.
The enrolling of men for the war
revealed a large percentage who
are unable to read or write and
how many there are who cannot
speak the language OF the country
in which they live, said Mr.. Hunt
ing. He further remarked upon
the miles that may be traversed,
in a city like New York, without
meeting an adult who speaks
English. But the children do,
and the answer is,-the school
house. This ignorance OF ctr
language implies and usually de-
notes entire ignorance of AM
erican ideals, said Mr.. Hunting.
TO overcome this condition, the
night schools are being establish
ed of which the principal purpose
is the teaching of the English
language to our foreign popula-
ton. In some instances the night
schools are doing vocational
work, also
Where there are night schools,
the Courts of Nevada now require
that the men seeking naturaliza-
ton shall have attended them.
The study of the Constitution OF
the United States is one of the
subjects taken at night school.
MIR. Hunting read excerpts from
THE Promised Land" by Mary
Antin, a book which every one
enjoys.
The close of the afternoon was
Idevoted to the formation Of plans
for establishing a night school in
Yerington. The petition for one
must be signed by fifteen persons
| desirous of attending. Anyone
wishing to learn the English Ian
guage and willing to go to school
three nights per week, kindly
notify Mrs. ]. f. Mckay or Mrs.
J. l. Wilson. The Club adjourned
| with the singing Of 'America' by
all and Mr.. Hunting met the la
dies, who ! enjoyed also meeting
Mrs. Hunting.
1t was a profitable as well as
an enjoyable meeting and the
Yerington Woman's Club is
unanimous in hoping that Mr.
Hunting will soon come again. 4

Will Women Hold Jobs?

The figures on unemployment In
Great Britain show that the unemploy-
ment among men is increasing more
rapidly than among women, which in
dicates that women are not being dis
charged from the positions they have
held as rapidly as men are being dis
charged from the army. By an ex-
animation of the conditions in the
trades in which women have worked
1t is plain that women are being dis
missed wholesale only from those
trades where they have been getting
the same pay as ymen-for example,
trafhway and bus conductorettes In
London and Newcastle-on-Tyne rail
way workers, and the women in the
boot and shoe trade. The women work
ing for less pay than the men they re-
"bootlegging" as the English
call it-are being retained. The tables
are turned upon the men who advo-
Gated low wages for women--and who
now are being kept out of work by
the women who have undercut them.

Plead for Lloht Wines and Beer.

Modification Of the wartime prohibit

38 miscellaneous trades affiliated with

J. Manning said he could not conceive
Of intelligent and sincere men taking
up rne no beer. no work" slogan, but
he could conceive Of their indignation
at the governments refusal to let them
have something they wanted that was
not hurtful.
Edgar Wallace. representing the
United Mine Workers, told the COM
mittee miners had found light slim
ulant with a kick in it, distinctly
beneficial after laboring all day, and
that in dry territory many of such
people had turned to bitters and ex-
tracts.

Labor Not Industrial Machine.

President Nicholas Murray Butler of
Columbia university, speaking to the
Chamber of Commerce at Utica, N. Y,
ON "The Foundations of Prosperity
said they are public security, public
order and public satisfaction.
t'The time is now ripe" he proceed
ed, ''to take up the industrial problem
as part OF the great human problem.
So long as the industrial problem is
conceived of in terms of profit alone,
without regard to the effect of indus
trial processes and conditions upon
human beings. just so long will it re-
main unsolved.
"When the industrial problem is
approached from the human point of
view one sees that it's essential char
acteristic is the cooperation of human
beings in the production of objects of
value. Those who cooperate, whether
with their savings or their brains. or
with the work of their hands, are hui
man beings and not machines or parts
of machine"

HEALTH INSURANCE TO COME
Declared to Be Logical Step Following
Adoption of Workmen's Compensa-
ton Legislation.

That compulsory health insurance
will serve to relieve charity of much
of its already too heavy burden, both
by caring for wage earners when Ill
and by stimulating preventive meas
ures. was the declaration made by Sec
rotary John B. Andrews of the Ameri-
can Association for Labor Legislation
in an address at session of the meet
ing of the National Conference of jew
ish Charities.
Compulsory health insurance, in
Guiding maternity benefits" he said, lis
coming soon in the United States, de-
spite the Misrepresentation and active
resistance of an interested opposition.
1t is the logical next step following
workmen's compensation, which in
eight years has been adopted by Al
states, 3 territories and by the United
States government for its million civil
ian employees. What opposition there
is now to health insurance laws is of
the same character as that directed
against workmen's compensation eight
years ago-opposition that in the light
of successful experience now is seen
to have been wholly misguided.
''To be effective, health insurance
must be compulsory" he insisted. mo
other plan will work. Only by making
it compulsory can 1t be made to cover
large numbers with maximum of
benefits and minimum of cost and
reach those who are most in need of
this protection. The compulsory plan
is essential, too for eliminating ex-
cessive acquisition and administrative
costs and private profits"

women,s Wages Rise in Louisiana


During the last five years the work
ing women's wage in the state of
Louisiana has advanced 80 per cent,
says a report compiled by the New
Orleans and Louisiana Industrial sur
vey. This increase is based on the
"median" wage, which is the wage at
which one-half of the employees re-
ceive more and the other half less.
The median wage has advanced from
So to SO week in the period under
consideration. The investigators found
that the average wage being paid wo-
men workers outside of New Orleans
was larger than in the city itself, and
adds: Whatever the explanation, ii
is significant that employers in the
smaller communities Of the state are
finding it possible to pay wages In ex.
cess of those paid in the larger cities.

EVERY EMPLOYEE
is TO HAVE VOTE
Novel Scheme Planned in Opera
ton of Rosicrs Mills in
kortn Carolina.
EXPERTS At WORK ON PLAN
Idea Is Modelled on the Plan of the
United States Cabinet and Legisla-
tive Departments-WiIl Eliminate
the Arbitrary Wage Scale.

Every employee is to have a vote In
the management of the Carr Hosiery
mills at Durham, N. G.
A plan of control patterned after the
United States government is being for
mulated under the orders of General
Julien S. Carr, millionaire banker, who,
with his son, Julien S. Carr, Jr., con-
trolls the mills.
The employees will constitute house
of representatives, the managers, Sc
lected by the workers, will form SEN
ate, and the owners will constitute the
cabinet. Regular meetings will be held
to consider the details of the manage
ment and all other matters affecting
the mill community.
A body of economic experts is help
ing the management to prepare the
way for the installation of the new
plan. One of these experts Is woman.
How will demands for wage in
creases be handled under the new
plan?" General Carr was asked.
"The employees, managers and pro-
prietors will decide by vote what in
crease, If any, is to be granted after
the income of the establishment has
been taken into consideration
'Do you think there is any chance
of the employees abusing the power
you are about to place in their hands?'
NO." was the reply. sour employees
are as vitality concerned in the success
of the business as we are. 1t will be
our policy to submit all important
questions to their consideration. For
instance, If department shows q
wastage Of 10 per cent, 1t will be sug.
| gested that the workers cooperate to
reduce this and split the saving with
us.
"That will be the general plan
throughout. Responsibility will be dis.
tributed and the participation of the
! workers in this responsibility will be
emphasized. We expect to make them
realize that these are their mills and
that where the mills succeed they will
succeed.
"The plan will eliminate the arbi
trary wage scale and assure the proper
| reward for merit"

SEIZURE:
Of FOOD
IS LEGAL
Remedy Is Found In Ruling
Whereby Public May Buy
Supplies From State
Opinion Affects Millions of Pounds of
Meat-Articles Kept in Storage
Available Under Law Retention
Beyond Time Limit Hit BY Bench.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Columbus.-Through the decision
handed down by the Ohio Supreme
Court the state has convenient ren--
edy for dealing with food boarding,
in provisions of the Smith cold stor-
age act The Court affirmed the
Franklin County Common Pleas and
Appellate Courts in the Columbus
Packing Co. case, making possible the
placing on the market of 100000
pounds of contiscated pork lOins and
furnishing the means of action upon
millions of pounds of beef, pork and
poultry found to have been stored
longer than the law allows. Both by
direct statement and by implication
the Court lays down propositions of
law which are said to be almost rev.
dictionary in the light of past de-
cisons The first of these is the fact
if the motives in food cases may be
judged by conduct, as they may be
judged in case of other infractions of
the law
Extension Of this principle to the
criminal side, as has been advocated
by the Prosecuting Attorney of Frank
lin county, Hugo N. Schlessinger, the
victor in judgment, would give real
effect" to antitrust laws. Secondary
in Importance is the proposition that
the violation of the cold storage act In
itself constitutes a conspiracy in re-
Straint of trade sternly condemned by
the Valentine antitrust act. BY this
rule is opened to the General Assem-
bly, an avenue of power to prevent
boarding in articles other than meats.
While cognizance is taken by the
Court of the health feature of the cold
storage act, this does not comprehend
all the force of law, it is held, the
Court stating plainly that motives 9th
err than health were involved in the
legislative intent. Immediately after
hearing the result Of the decision, At
'torney-General John G. Price ordered
1000 copies to be printed. They will
be furnished to the SO Prosecuting At
tOrneyS of the state and to legal Off
Gals Of other states joined in the
war upon boarding, food conSpira cies
and eXtOrtiOnate prices.
