DESCRIBES DANCE
AS TORR|D AFFAIR

The Sparks Tribune publishes the
following concerning a recent dance
held in that city:
THE 'Kostume Bali given at Robin
sons hall last evening furnishes n
of the main topics of conversation
this morning in this city. 1t was a
rather torrid affair, according to all
accounts, and a great many OF the
costumes that were worn were re-
markable for their s~cantiness.
1.-The affair became real hilarious
after midnight and this morning the
police court was crowded with gay
jewellers who had been incautious by
word of mouth, or blow of fist and
had become embroiled with other
parties.
1.-THE affair was not conducted ac-
cording to Hoyle, according to mem
bers of the police department, and
things were done and things were
seen that are not usually considered
decorous In polite society.
'Chief of Police Walstrom stated
this morning that another affair of
the character of the dance held last
night would never be held in Sparks
as long as he is on the force. Con-
tinuing, he stated, that in a long and
varied career on the police force he
had never seen the equal. Young
girls and women were costumed to
represent Egyptian dancers, others
representing babies and with just
about as much clothing on them as
some of the smiling cherubs have
when they have their pictures taken
in the altogether. The chief also says
that there was plain evidence that
lots of booze had been imbibed and
that those who drank freely, and
dressed loosely should have been
placed in Jail, but that he had no de-
cent place to put them for the night.
"In the police court this morning
five answered to the charge Of fight
ing, and $40 in fines were assessed
against the various defendants"

known journalists and former owner
and publisher Of the Louisville Cour-
Ter Journal, died at a hotel here at

here about six weeks. as was his Gus
tom on his annual trips to Florida.
He has for years been spending his
Winters largely at Fort Meyers and
it was his intention to go to that place

His wife, son and daughter were at
his bedside when he died.
Col. Watterson's death was due to
heart failure superinduced by con-
g~estion of the lungs, according to
physicians.

. SMITHSONIAN ON 0

Goldfield Tribune: Miss Alice M.
Robertson. solitary CONGRESSIONAL
is brave. In a recent interview n
paid her respects to her women crit
les and to ONE in general in this
fashion:
THE women are against me be-
cause 1 was not for suffrage original
ly. But / don't mind. All these wo-
men a~gitators who appear before
clubs with their nice gowns and long
gloves, and look pretty SO that the
other women will sit up and exclaim.
oh, isn't she wonderful!' make we
wonder why some Of them did not
raise sons to have reverence for
them"
She denies women's claims that
they art the true paciists, saying:
Woman is no more paciist than
man. What playthings does mother
give her child? Toy pistols, tin guns
and soldiers. Down in the soul Of ev-
cry woman is pride of her warrior. 1t
has been so from the time when she
used her hair to make bowstrfngs
and handed her warrior his shield.
In most cases the women are harder
to pacify than the men. They hold
warlike memories and prejudices
longer. Look at the activities OF the
Daughters of the Revolution! And
where are the Sons of the Revolu-
ton? The women of the confeder-
acy never yielded at all; they would
have fought till the last one was
killed. l notice at the Army-Navy
football game that the women cheered
louder than the men; they went
crazyw while the battle was on. In the
old, savage days, when the men went
forth and brought home their enc
mics scalps, did their women rebuke
them for such barbarity? Motley
sewed the scalps proudly to the mems
war-shirts."
A mere man has not the temerity
to say whether all this is true or not.
One thing, however, a nan may safe
ly declare. 1t is that the women will
certainly fight Miss Robertson's re-
election, for this and other anthem
mist offenses. What the men of her
district will do remain 10 be seen.
Miss Robertson blandly remarks,
1.-THE women were against me last
time, and I won." Which raises the
piquant question:
Are we coming to a political per-
Tod in which the men are going to
vote for the women, and the women
for the men?

HIGH COST OF
LIVING ATTACKED

Washington, Dec. 22.-Investiga-
ton of retail prices of food, fuel,
shoes and clothing in all parts of the
country was ordered to-day by Alto
ney-General Daugherty.
Mr.. Daugherty said that in many
localities prices were too high and re-
tailers' profits we're "unconscionable"
and that every effort would be made
to put retail prices on theproperlev el.
Mr.. Daugherty instructed Director
Burns of the bureau of investigation
to assign men as soon as possible to
various parts of the country stimuli
~taneously to collect information upon
current retail prices of food, fuel,
shoes and clothing and at the same
time to report the Wholesale prices of
corn. wheat, beef, meats of all kinds
and on the hoof in order that COM
parsons might be made of the retail
and wholesale prices of food.
In many parts of the country, MI.
Daugherty declared. retailers have or
CARNATIONS which tend to keep prices
high.
There isn't a doubt in the world
he said, that all over the country re-
tailers have an understanding"
The Attorney General said that
uhiIo tharo u,oro mapv rotaiIars uho
were not charging excessive prices,
he intended to go after organizations
operating contrary to the law and
particularly professional organizers
who sold new schemes for beating the
law, behind a declaration of an asso-
citation to advance competition.
Results of the departments inves-
tigation, Mr.. Daugherty said, would
be used in an effort to bring down
retail prices where they were too
high.
Prices, he said, would never go
down to their pre-war level but they
could be brought into the proper re-
lation with reduced wages and re-
duced costs of foodstuffs.
Publication Of comparative prices
in different localities, he asserted.
would do much to right the situation
and he said it was planned to present
the data gathered to the various
States for local action with the CO.
operation of the Federal government
where necessary.

RESTORATION OF SILVER

Tonopah Times: According to in
side reports from Washington a Sc
cret chapter OF the armament confer
ence has been kept in the background.
This deals with rehabilitation Of
world finances and involves the stabi-
liking of silver. Japan and China are
known to favor the Standardization of
silver and these countries seem to be
the central figures In the conference
phases at Washington. That the So
luton Of this metal basis question
may be considered equally as import
ant to National prosperity as disarm-
ament Is the opinion Of financial mag
mates and carries a big message to
those directly interested, or likely to
become so in silver mining securities
of merit. But few were aware of
Secretary Hughes speech on disarma-
ment prior to its issuance and the
same may be said about the antici-
pated announcement dealing with the
sterilization of foreign exchange
through the adoption of a silver basis
to protect foreign credits. That such
is coming, one of the best financial
authorities in New York says. may
be accepted and its issuance will like
ly cause as much commotion as did
the disarmament utterance. which
would provoke a meteoric advance in
the price Of all silver stocks.
