REPRESENTATIVE, TO ENDEAvoR

Is Without Authorization to Use Force, But Is
Willing to Endeavor to Bring About Peace
Between the Contending Parties Through
Arbitration, He Says.
fBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Washington, Nov 30.-President

sonal mediation through a repre-
sentative" to end hostilities in Ar

The offer was in reply to an in
Vitation from Paul Hymans, presi-

ton adopted in behalf of Armenia
by the assembly of the league of
nations at Geneva, November %.
1t requested that the horrors of
the Armenian tragedy" be brought
to the attention of the powers with
view to entrusting some power
with the task of taking the neces-
sary measures to stop the hostili-
ties in Armenia. The United States.
although not member of the
league, is included among the ma
tons of the world to whom the
broadcast invitation was issued
Intervention Discussed.
Adoption of the resolution was
preceded by some discussion of the
feasibility of organizing interna-
tional force to intervene in Arme-
MIA, assailed alternately by Turk
ish nationalists, the bolsheviki and
other transcaucasian elements.
In his reply, however, Mr.. Will
son said he was without authorize
tion to offer or employ the military

project for the relief of Armenia.

curing the consent of congress,

The president declared, how
ever, that he was willing upon as
surances of the moral and diplo-
matte support of the principal pow
ers, to endeavor to bring about
peace between the contending par
ties in Armenia through arbitra-
ton. He asked suggestions as to
the avenues through which the
proffer should be conveyed and the
parties to whom it should be adj
dressed.

Cutting the Nations Tire Bill.

Forty makes of motor tires were
submitted to the bureau Of standards
by the office of the quartermaster gen
eral," writes Thomas II. Uzzell In Ev-
erybody's. 'They were given labora
tory durability runs after which they
were autopsied by the rubber special
lists. Their ~carcasses' were cut up and
the pieces boiled, roasted, stretched.
The results were discouraging. Even
the best of them seemed to suffer
from improper 'to%ughening.'
$50 into their little rubber-mill went
the experts, with notes furnished them
by the tire manufacturers, and pro-
ceeded to make up some tire rubber
which had the proper degree of tough
ness. They succeeded. They passed
out the word: The trouble is that you
makers are not sitting your zinc oxid
before mixing 1t with the rubber com
pound
'The makers began to sift. Better
tires resulted. Some $3~0,0O0,0OO were
saved to the government. And today
you are enjoying a cut in your tire bill
by getting better tires-a result OF
that experiment with zinc oxid."

E[KO COMMISSION
CUTS SALARIES TOO

At their meeting. the board of coun-
ty commissioners of Elko county, act
ing under a law passed by the legis-
lature last year, cut the salaries 81
most of the justices of the peace n
constables throughout the county. the
reduction to take effect on the first of
the coming year. says the Free Press.
This action of the board was taken
at this time in order that the candi-
dates for the various Offices would
know what salary they would get, pro-
vided they were elected.
At the larger places, where the
officers have any amount of work to
do, the old salaries were left as they
were, but in the outlying districts
where probably not more tina once
or twice a year the officers are called
upon to act in their official capacity.
the salaries were reduced. Until re-
cent years all the justices of the
peace and constables throughout the
county were on a fee OASIS, peihs
paid for services performed, but the
change to a salary basis was made
when A. B. Gray, now receiver of the
Carson City land Office, was a resident
of Elko county and at the height OF
his political career in Nevada. In
fact, that legislature has gone down
in history as the Justice of the peace
session" as bill after bill was jammed
through favoring the minor official of
the counties.
The action of the county commits
sioners will save the taxpayers sew
eral thousand dollars each year, and
still the salaries will be more than
sufficient to compensate the officials
for the small amount of work they
will be called upon to do. 1t would
be far better to put them back on the
fee basis.

T0NOPAH MINING Co.
CUT HOUSE RENTS

J.. d. Forsyth, the GoIdfield con-
tractor, has completed delivery of ten
houses to the Tonopah Extension Min
ing Company and will bring over as
many more this month, says the Ca
zette.
The business has been so systema-
tiled that it is possible now for the
mover to transport a four or ive-room
house from n camp to the other In
six hours where with horse power the
old ten-animal strings used to occupy
a week on the road The mining COM
pany Is engaged in solving the high
cost of living to its own satisfaction
by furnishing homes to its mine en-
ployes at about one-half Of what is
asked by other property owners The
houses are renovated, painted and
decorated after reaching Tonopah and
include either bath or shower for the
comfort of the occupants.
The company furnishes electric
lights free from it's mine service,
which is at a fraction of the regular
cost to uptown consumers and it is
proposed to install an irrigation sys-
tenn by which each home will be sur
rounded with lawns and trees. This
water will come from the mine and
will not cost householders anything
for service as it is the idea of Mana
ger Kirchen to make his properties
as attractive as possible to hold old
mine employees to their jobs. For this
reason none Of the houses will be
rented to members of the Office force.
The sit for the addition is close to the
big mill where a hill may be graded
down to a level that will improve the
local appearance.
The Extension has just begun one
of the most important improvements
ever undertaken in the district. The
Victor shaft, which stops at the 1880
foot level, will be lowered another 400
feet and the John Y. McKane shaft,
which has just reached the 1000-foot
point, will be sen down another 400
feet. The Victor shaft is equipped
with the largest head frame and most
powerful hoist in Nevada with a a
pacity for lifting from $500 feet. The
pumps are only surpassed by those
the Comstock and will raise a six
inch column of water from a depth
of 1000 feet without any intervening
at the rate of 500 gallons a
minute. Eventually the McKane and
Victor shafts which are 1000 feet
apart will be connected.
