by Proclamation Suffrage Is Made
Part of the Constitution

Washington, Aug. 26.-The right
of women to vote was formally made
a part of the constitution by procla-
nation of Secretary Colby, declaring
the nineteenth amendment ratified.
Formal notice of T~ennessee's ratifi-
cation arrived early to-day and Colby
Immediately signed the proclamation

large group of suffrage workers. in

National Women's party, Mrs. Abbie
Scott Baker and many others. The
women cheered heartily as Colby
signed the proclamation.
Suffragists who had expected Sec

were evidently disappointed. They
requested him to repeat the cere-
mony later.

Mrs. Frank Horn Of Tuscarora won
the Oldsmobile Six In the Elko INDIE
pendent contest, Miss Muriel Little
field of Elko being second, and Mrs.
r. F. Raine of Palisade third. The
winner had over 100000 votes.
Cattlemen generally will be inter-
ested in the announcement by the
Southern Pacific Company hat 1t has
r~einstated the rule cancelled by the
railroad administration regarding the
refunding Of fares of c~are-takers sent
out to return with shipments of live
stock.
Mrs. Josephine Belts, who was
killed a few days since in an auto ac-
cident near Healdsburg, California,
was a daughter of Mrs. Felix Luttrell
of Elko County. Two years ago a
brother of the deceased was killed in
a railway accident. and a year ago
Mr.. Luttrell died at Elko.
Twelve carloads of automobiles,
valued at 100000 were destroyed
Friday night when twelve cars of a
Western Pacific freight train were de-
rallied two miles east of Elko. The
railroad tracks were torn up for a
considerable distance and all trans
continental traffic was tied up until
IL o'clock the next morning, when
the wreckage was removed and the
track rebuilt.
Harry e. Stimler, one Of the best
known mining men of southern Ne
vada, and William Corcoran recently
had narrow escapes from death from
heat exhaustion while on a trip of in
spection to the Corcoran mine in
Death Valley. The property is re-
ported to be an excellent prospect,
the ore being lead with small values
ing old and silver. Samples assay
from AZ to s146 per ton. Stimler
says the property will probably be
taken over by w. J. Loring of San
Francisco and Edward A. Clark of
Boston.

WINNER
0LYMP|AD HONOR
u. S. Wins More Than Twice
as Many Points as Nearest
Competitor
OLYMPIAD results

OF the 638 points to be contested,
the United States won nearly one
third. The United States won nine
firsts and twelve seconds. OF the
four worlds records established, the
United States made three.
Antwerp, Aug. 23.-The seventh
Olympiad closed late to-day amid
continued rain and cold, so far as the
track and field competitions are con-
cerned, with a decisive victory for
the American athletes.
Although the team is not consid-
cred as good as some that have come
to Europe in the past to take part in
Olympic games, the Americans rolled
up a total of PIP points during the
week of competitions, a figure more
than twice as great as that of the
nearest rival nation-Finland, with
los.
Scoring on a basis of 22 points to
any event allowed by the Interna-
tional Athletic Federation, the team
from the United States piled up ap-
proximately one-third of a possible
aggregate total of cas-. The Ameri-
cans scored in all but four events and
were tied with Finland for first place
championship honors, each nation
having won nine firsts. The United
States was far ahead in second places
won, with IL, and vas second to
Sweden in thirds, having won 9 to
Sweden's 10. The Americans scored
ten fourths, twice as many as their
nearest rival. They outranked the
other teams in fifths won. but did not
secure quite as many sixths as Swe-
den.
OF four world records established,
the Americans made three, the
fourth going 10 Finland. The only
Olympic record established which is
not also a world record was won by
an American.

THROW BRICK
BATS At PRESENT STYLE
After Visit at Tia Juana Editor
of Age Observes Latest in
Dress in Angel City

Just as a matter Of scientific re-
search, the editor Of the Las Vegas
Age has made some observations,
mostly at close range as being more
accurate, on late styles in women's
dress and undress in Los Angeles.
Language, 1t is said, is used to con-
ceal thought. 1t is certain that in
these latter days, dress is designed to
reveal feminine charms.
Now 1t has always been a puzzle to
the editor why women are content to
wear the narrow skirts which force
with bunions. 1t is display advertis-
ing, and is most effective where there
are street cars with high steps. Any
corner in Los Angeles will do for a
demonstration. Just join the crowd
of fellows waiting for a car-just
waiting for a car but not going any
where. Along comes the car and the
spectators jostle themselves expect
antly into commanding positions.
Out minces Miss Littlestep. paus-
es, glances around to see II the au-
dience is all ready, gives the little
skirt a flip to a point well above the
knee, and takes the car step with a
display of agility and silk hosiery well
worth waiting the seven minutes be-
tween cars to see. No wonder Wis
itors rave " the Los Angeles seem
cry. Dainty half hose with a little
roll in the fancy top mot the old
fashioned First National roll) dim
pied knees and some filmy fancy bust
ness showing Just a bit above-some
romantic scenery to be sure. No won
der the Los Angeles street
are always crowded.
Speaking of car steps, we notice
that all cars now have lights under
them. At first glance we supposed
it was for the safety of those getting
on and off. But we r informed on
reliable authority that the lights were
installed upon popular demand for
better night visibility.
Then the small matter of bare arm
and low necks add to the interest.
There seems to be a tendency to ex-
tend the areas of baroness in the
back to the vicinity of the kidneys,
but from a scenic standpoint 1t ap-
pears thai some of the baroness might
be transferred from the back to the
front with advantage. However, that
is merely a matter of taste and we
would not presume to dictate in SO
delicate a situation. But no wonder
they have earthquakes in Los Angeles
