SAYS HEARST
SILVER ACT

In a letter to the Tonopah Times,
Senator Key Pittman states that he
has found that the Hearst papers
have begun an attack on his silver
bill, hut that plans have been made
to block their every effort. Senator
Pittman's letter follows:
mr.. BENJAMIN Strong, governor Of
the Federal Reserve Bank In New
York, in writing from Darjeeling.
India, to Governor Harding Of the
Federal Reserve Board, has this to
say about the Pittman Act:
at spent a couple of hours yes
terday bargaining with them for good
examples of where hundreds of mil
lions of gold and silver disappear, In
this vast sink, wishing to send you
and Straus and MIR. Pittman some
souvenirs which would recall to you
now and then, that the Pittman Act
saved India from disaster and possib-
~ worse
81 observe that the Hearst papers
are attacking the Pittman Act. They
are evidently attempting to work up
a feeling that might result in its re-
peal.
81 simply desire to state to the sill
yer men of the West that they need
have no fear. We are prepared to
block every effort that may be made
along that line.f

AGAINST PRESENT
r o LAW

Commenting on the l~ynching at
Santa Rosa. California, the Carson
Appeal says the case has so outraged
the sensibilities of Nevadans as well
as Ca%lifornians that the act of the
mob is not condemned.
There is a lesson for the coming
Legislature in this" says the Appeal.
"The people Of Nevada are very tired
of the indeterminate sentence law.
The constant paroling of convicts
has reached a point where 1t Is a
menace to society.
"a straight sentence should be
given the convicted nan or woman,
this to be shortened by credits for
good behavior.
1--WE have a Ease in our peniten-
tiary at the present time. The man
committed a cold blooded murder.
Every time the pardoning board
meets his name is up for parole.
Some day people will get tired fight
ing his release and he will go free.
His lawyers say that If he Is not
freed soon he will be of no use to
himself of society at large. He new

END OF
SLUMPlIS seen

Washington. Dec. 1S.-The next 80
days or six weeks will bring relief
from the general business and indus
trial depression, in the opinion of
John II. Defrees. president Of the
United States Chamber Of Commerce,
in an interview with Universal Ser
vice.
In the meantime, he said, the peri
cd of defiation will pass, and falling
prices will reach their bottom. After
ward will come an upturn and reviv-
al of business generally.
This transition will be followed by
a period of adjustment. in which the
country will accustom itself to nor
NAL conditions, President Defrees as
serted.
normal conditions, we les a return
to conditions In which things are
balanced and in proper relations to
each other" he said.
Many oncer have been squeezed
out of existence by the economic pres
sure. Defrees said. Now labor is
feeling the pinch of q necessary reduc-
ton of wages.
Expressing the opinion that still
further wage reductions are newt
able, he continued:
Wages turn primarily upon what
is a fair and balanced distribution
of the fruits of industry, to which
labor, management and capital all
contribute. II a man il not earning
enough to permit him to live in sub
stantial comfort and save, he IL not
earning enough. Before the war
most of us received sufficient out OF
the common pot to IA something.
The var upset conditions.
While some classes are more ad-
vantageously placed than before the
war, many are not. / have In mind
particularly the so-ca1led whfte-col-
lar worker. the man paid a salary.
He has had an extremely hard time.
Some industries are taking heavy
losses, which will be shared by the
stockholders and workers alike. The
farmer is taking his loss. the manu-
f~acturer his, and the worker newt
ably will have to accept his share.
Lack Of demand rather than over
production is primarily responsible
for the business inertia. according to
Defrees.

There is no business that furnishes
a better opportunity to study human
psychology than that OF selling jew
'elry, according TO William Barthman,
who for more than a quarter of a
Lane, New York City, the diamond
center of America.
"One can invariably forecast the
married life of a couple by their atti-
tude when they come in to buy the
engagement ring" he said.
1T is easy to tell which will DOM
mate after the wedding ceremony
from their actions during the pur-
chase. IL she makes the selection
and fixes the price, you may depend
upon 1t that she will make most of
the decisions after they are married,
and vice versa. 1t is also possible to
tell whether she will be thrifty or a
spendthrift."
Barthman cited an instance Of a
young couple who came In to buy a
diamond solitaire. The youth very
~delicately let his sweetheart under
stand that he did not feel able to pay
more than $500 or $500. But every
ring she decided upon was valued at
$1,000 to $500. They finally COM
promised on one costing about 5000,
about twice what he had intended to
pay.
"And IL l had been that young man
l would have been tempted to call 1t
off right there" the grey-haired jew
eler declared.
well, a few of them bring their
fiances right in to try 1t on" he re-
piled. Some obtain from us a card
board arrangement to fix the size.
Others knot a string about her finger,
or try one of the rings she already
has on one of their fingers. But the
great majority just guess at it-and

CONSPIRATORS CONVICTED

The conviction Of Brolaski and an
associate at San Francisco on the
charge Of conspiracy to violate the
Federal prohibition law is added
proof that the arm of the United
States government is long and that
persons who show contempt for the
statutes and who. fcel.that they have
influence enough to "get away with
it" in their violation are due for a
jolt that will land many of them be-
hind the bars before they have real
ly awakened to a realization of the
fact that Uncle Sam is bigger than
any coterie of crooks, community
sentiment or State attitude. Sooner
or later they will learn that the laws
are made to apply to all the citizens
of the land and that the lawbreaker
is always in danger.-Carson News.

VISITING Skinner KILLED

ca railway engineer, who was in Reno
attending the conclave of the State
Shriners. was killed Saturday after
noon about 5 o'clock when the auto
mobile in which he was riding ran
into the rear Of a large truck, being
driven on the road between Reno
and Sparks,
The force Of the compact was SO
great that Young was thrown over
the back seat and out Of the ma
chine. Ee was picked up in an un-
conscious condition and placed In a
passing automobile and rushed to q
local hospital. He was dead when
he reached the hospital. and physi-
clans say his neck was broken in the
fall and death was instantaneous.

REVIVAL OF INAUGURAL
BALL NOW A CERTAINTY

Washington, Dec. 23.-Revival Of
the historic inaugural ball as a fea-
ture of the Inauguration Of President
elect Harding has been definitely de-
cided on by the Washington commit
tee arranging for the festivities incl
dent to the induction into office Of
the new President next March 4.
The inaugural ball was one of the
chief events on the inauguration pro-
gram until the first inauguration of
President Wilson, who requested that
it be dispensed with. II marks the
first appearance in society of the new
chief executive and the new first lady
of the land as such.

In The Jewelry Stores Before
and After The Wedding Bells

who guess select a ring too large,
assuming they will be on the safe
But II is just as easy to make q ring
larger as IL Is to make II smaller"
What does the average young man
buy his sweetheart in the way OF
jewelry. and what does the average
man buy his wife?
Barthman said that gold or silver
meshbags are the most popular gift
during the courtship period, with
gold bracelets and pearl opera glass
es running a close second. After
marriage, the woman usually de-
mands a pearl necklace or a diamond
and platinum bracelet, and gets 1t.
Gifts for children are generally in
the form of a ring, bracelet or pin.
When women make gifts to men
they generally select a scarf pin or a
gold fountain pen.
Its interesting to watch the de-
velopment of a young couples court
ship and marriage" Barthman said.
"a young man will come in and buy
some small present. such as a brooch,
costing sis or $40. A few months
later he will make a little more ex-
pensive gift. Then, as birthdays and
Christmasses arrive, he increases the
value of his gifts until finally the en-
gagement ring is bought. Next is
the wedding ring. After this there
is a cessation of three of foul years.
They are spending all their money

start. If he is successful in business,
this period will be followed by n
of far more expensive presents"
