THE LONGEST DAY

Last Monday was the longest day OF
the year. 1t is almost a minute long
er than any other day. June 2l marks
the official commencement of summer
according to the almanac. On the
10th meridian, which passes through
California, summer begins at 9;40
o'clock in the morning.
This is the hour when the earth on
eliptical journey around tc sun reaches
the end of its elipse and starts back
on the other lap. The winter solstice
the shortest day in the year, is six
months later. Half way between these
dates are the vernal and autumnal eqi-
noxes, when the days and nights are
oi equal length.
The earth is now at its greatest
northern declination toward the sun
which gives the maximum amount Of
daylight on the northern hemisphere
it being continuousin the Arctic Gil
Gle. Six months later the southern
hemisphere will have its longest day
and the northern its shortest.

NEVADAN
CROSSES DIVIDE

Hon. Jewett w. Adams, former gov
ernor Of Nevada. died at his home at
Berkeley, last Friday afternoon. ac
cording to advices received in Carson.
The cause OF his death was not
stated. but iron the fact that for the
past two or tree years his health
has been rapidly failing, and because
OF his advanced age. it has been fear
ed by his family and friends that the
end was not far of.
Governor Adams at the time OF his
death was part owner of thebig Clcve
land ranch 40 miles south OF Ely. his
partner in the enterprise being VIM.
McGill, alter whom the town of Nc
Gill was named.
In addition to the ranch property
the governor was the possessor of
other large interests, both i'll Nevada
and California. and the fortune which
he leaves is placed above the million
mark.
The governor was born in Vermont
i'll 1885 and was i'll his S5th year at
the time OF his death. He came. across
the plains to California i'll 1852.
In 1873 he married and his widow
Mrs. Emma Lee Adams, and an
adopted daughter, Mrs. George
Corse, Jr., survive him.
I'm politics the governor had al
ways affiliated with the Democrats
and in 1874 and 1873 he was the
party's choice for lieutenant governor
of Nevada, and was elected both
times. In 1882 he was elected gov
ernor by substantial majority, and
the state at that time was regarded as
overwhelmingly Republican. He
made a splendid record and gave
Nevada one of the best administra-
tions it ever has enjoyed.
Governor Adams was one of the
last of the sturdy band q; pioneers
that came across theeh uain sethehhr
that came to Nevada in early Six
ties and did the work that first DEM
onstrated its resource and wealth.
He was agood citizen and neighbor
and will be regretfully missed by all
who enjoyed his friendship. To his
surviving relatives the sympathy OF
the whole state is extended

FIRST .AGCIDENT
ON NEW HIGHWAY

Miss AIi.ian Riggs, i'll the car Of
l.. c. DeArmond o. Mason, going to
Mason from here last Friday morning
collided with Frank Hanson's car,
which was just coming out OF the
yard at his house. striking the fen
der glancing blow. bending it
slightly. Then the fair driver seemed
to lose control OF the machine. or
else the steering gear went out OF
comission, for the car steered Of the
the road and down the five feet en-
bankment into the ditch alongside the
road, breaking Off one rear wheel.
We wonder if anyone can give a
good reason why the high is left in
its present shape There is sharp
pitch on each side d. from two to six
feet. Will it be left i'll that shape:
The engineers say that it will. If it is

K. P. CONVOCAT|0N
At MILWAUKEE,

Advance announcements sent to
the various officers d. the Supreme
Lodge, Knights df Pythias, conveys
the fact that plans for extension OF
the order, and assumption oJ greater
obligations for its advancements, will
be the central thought at the next
convention, August 10th, 1920, at
Minneapolis.
Nearly one million Of the order IN
the United States are interested Ill
what will be done at this convention.
Among the many proposed changes
in the present laws are those which
will, If enacted, provide for admission
70 representation at l8 years instead
of 2l years oi age.
Life membership; changes in funer-
al benefit laws, and national ttber-
culosis, sanitorium for members a.
the Order.
While representation Of each
state is based upon Pythian popula-
ton. under the Statute each Grand
Domain must have two Supreme Rep
resentatives. Some have as many as
five. This method of selection gives
true representation OF the order, and
provides method by which the Sill
preme body is influenced only by con-
ditions prevailing in all parts of the
country.
N Z. wilson, of Reno, and Clark
]. Guild, of Yerington, are the rep
resentativcs to this convention Erom
Nevada.
The order has made phenomenal
growth during the last year. A gain
in membership for 1919 is reported to
be over forty five thousand. There
has been much activity in the Uni
form rank, and it is expected that over
forty thousand men in uniform will
attend the National Encampment in
Cleveland, Ohio, in July.
The insurance department report
shows an increase of protection act
TALLY amounting to a gain of over
five millions dollars last year, max
ing a total of one hundred three mil
lion of protection provided for by
this branch oil the order. This de-
partment owns municipal bonds in
nearly every state in the Union, and
holds fifty thousand dollars worth
of Yerington City Water andSewer
bonds.
The Knights OF Khorassan. known
as the playground of Pythianisn' has
more than doubled its membership
in the last two years. 1t is with all
these encouraged reports OF advance
men that the Supreme Lodge will as
semble to make provisions for a
broader service to the membership,
and plan a program oil activities to
meet the present conditions. Fifty
five Grand lodges will have represene
tation at the Convention, and it is
probable that the session will last 10
days.
The Supreme Temple of Pythian
Sisters, with over twohundred thous-
and members, will hold their conven-
ton at the same time and place,
Red Star Lodge, San Diego, of Cali
ornia, is the largest Pyhian Lodge
in the world, and has membership

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SILKS
Remove Grease Spots by Holding over
Fire; French Chalk and Press
ing Recommended.

A good way to get grease spots from
silk, writes a correspondent, is to hold
the spotted part over a warm IRE,
not hot enough to burn the silk, but
hot enough to melt the grease; put a
piece of plotting paper over the spot
and then put a warm iron on the
blotter.
A good method for cleaning black
silk is this: Mix strong coffee and
ammonia. Brush the silk thoroughly
and then rub the liquid on with a soft
cloth. Wind around a board to dry.
French chalk will remove some
spots from silk. Rub the chalk thor
oughRy in the garment and let 1t stay
there for a day or so. Then brush II
out with a velvet brush.
Water spots can sometimes be re-
moved by pressing the silk on the
wrong side. with a piece Of thin mus
lin between the iron and the silk.
If silk has lost it's body and stiffness
follow the method Of a renovatOr: Boil
an old, clean kid glove in water and
sponge the silk with the somewhat
sticky liquid resulting.
Whenever silk is pressed a sheet Of
tissue paper or a piece Of thin muslin
should be spread over the silk to pre-
vent glazing. The silk should be
placed with its right side toward the
board, ironed on the wrong side.

SOME NEW NECK DECORATIONS
Single Great Stone, Usually an Emer-

Slender Chain.

Many young women are wearing, In
stead Of pearls, single great stone
usually an emerald or a diamond

the throat, says Harper's Bazaar. Very

often oblong in shape and cut

In much work for the jewelers., who

and is especially effective on frocks OF
black velvet or tulle. In fact, It would
almost seem that the diamonds had

themselves to the frOck-at which we

SIMPLE DESIGNS
FOR new FROCKS
Following After-the-War ExtraV-
agance in Clothes Reverse
Reaction Prevails.
TLFFETA DRESSES m FAVOR
Fabric Bids Fair to Be Popular for
Spring Wear summery-Iook-
ing Hats for Southern
Visitors.

As a violent reaction. clothes be-
came widely extravagant almost as
soon as the war was over. There were
a few months OF readjustment, while
dressmakers were getting their estab-
lishments back into normal working
condition; bat this period was sur
prislngly brief. No sooner was this
done. even. In a limited way, than
the market became flooded with an
avalanche OF clothes, as extEayagant
as any that the world has ever seen.
Now We are experiencing a reverse
reaction. observes a prominent fash
ion correspondent.
While IL cannot be claimed that our
frOeks are any less expensive than
they were six months ago, they are a
great deal simpler in design. There
Is no mistaking the indication that
women want all Of their dresses built
on the simplest and most youthful
lines, and that they will pay more for
dress OF this character than one
elaborated with applied trimmings.
Season Calls for Pretty Clothes.
We tire, In time, OF all our clothes,
and now Is the time when we es-
pecially feel the need Of something
fresh and different Then, at this
season, we have so many more social
engagements that we like to have
a great variety OF pretty clothes In
which to appear. In both the early
and late autumn this need was filed
by one-piece cloth dresses and beau
tifuI furs. Later, these frOcks were
topped by coats OF either cloth or fur.
Now, we feel the need OF a suit that
is completed by some sort Of an at
tractive blouse. unusual enough to
make the costume something quite diff
ferent from the old-fashioned coat and
skirt.
A suit, by Doeuillet, was created to
I'LL this need. Its arrival may be
heralded as the most popular suit that
this famous house has launched for
the winter. The strong One-side move
ment and the long coat are its fea-
lures. The portion which laps across
the front, buttOning under the left
arm, to give a semi-belted appearance,
Is cut in one piece with the right front
Of the jacket. The color combination
