MUST A GOWN BE
 SCANTY TO LURE
Evidently Alice Lake Thinks No Hers Has Three Skirts and
 High Neck.

Just to show that it can be done, Alice Lake, Metros most youthful featured player, has decided to show the world that an evening dress need not be of the ''low-necked" variety, that the skirt need not be skimpy, nor the waist sleeveless in order to be fetching to the male as well as the feminine eye.
 Miss Lakes way of proving this theory is to appear in his latest pro- duction, Body and Soul" at The Regent Theatre Tuesday, next, in gown constructed for evening wear, that boasts of three separate, distinct and different skirts, and a pair of complete and all-covering sleeves, and material that entirely envelopes the throat.
 To quote Miss Lakes technical description of the creation:
 'The gown is of cell blue panne velvet.

al cloth over which is hung anoth- CT skirt of slk net, rich adorned with opalescent beads. The top skirt is of blue tulle, wired across the hips, giving a hoop effect. The bodice-and this is where my own ideas come come in-has not only a back to it, but sleeves; and what is most unusual is the high neck, both front and back. The whole waist is fashioned of the blue vel vet and in sort of basque style, tight fitting about the waist.
 ''The only trimming to the whcle consume consists of a row of silver metal leaves around the top of the skirt and a few scattered on the sleeves at the elbow. The neck is finished with two streamers of the velvet, each topped with a tassel of the opalescent beads"

Young Wayne Dean
Is Improving Slowl,

Wayne Dean, who was accidentally
shot at the Carter ranch January Is,
and has since been in the county hos
pital suffering from paralysis caused
by the lodging of the bullet in the
spinal canal. is now reported TO be
slowly improving, and County Physi-
clan Adams. who has had charge of
the case from the beginning, holds out
some hope of his recovery.
The young man was operated on by
DR.. Adams thirty days ago, and the
bullet successfully removed from the
dangerous spot where it had lodged.
Since that time the patient has been
given every attention. and while for a
considerable period little or no hope
was held out for him, DIR. Adams now
says that when the bottom of the feet
of the injured man are scratched he
shows some plantar reflex and a slight
twitching of the toes is noticeable.
This condition first appeared about ten
days ago and was then scarcely notice
able. II has slightly improved. which
the attending physician says is encour-
aging. During the last few days young
Dean has been removed from his bed
and placed in a rolling chair for a
period of three or four hours each day.

BUSINESS MEN OF DISTRICT ENJOY
CHAMBER Of COMMERCE BANQUET

The banquet given by the Ely Cham
Der of Commerce at the Elite cafe last
Monday night, at which reports of the
organization and executive committees
were received and permanent organi-
zation effected. was well attended, not
withstanding thesfact that the weather
was by no means favorable.
About one hour before the time set
for the banquet the mercury dropped
and the snow began to fly. so that by
the time the members and their guests
were prepared to leave their homes to
attend the important meeting a bliz-
zard was raging. However, sixty-three
active men brayed the storm and jour
neyed out to take part in the forming
of the organization of which this dis
triet has been sorely In need during
many years past.
r. II. Hoffman acted as POSTMASTER
at the banquet table, and when the in
ner man had been well cared for and
all were feeling on good terms with
one another, as we'll as themselves, the
first speaker, G.. S. Hoag, field secre-
tary of the Lincoln Highway associa-
tion. was introduced and met with a
storm of applause.
Mr. Hoag told of the great amount OF
good he knew to have been accom-.
plished all through the United States
by just such organizations as the Ely
Chamber of Commerce. He said that
while in different sections they adopted
different names. this was of little con
sequence. as the aim was always the
betterment of the community in which
the organization WAS formed and
through the same channel men worked
together for their own interests. He
said that in many localities they found
ii advisable to hold meetings at noon
when luncheon was served and the
members could deal with such affairs
as might come up for the general good
and at the same time not neglect their
own private affairs. He told of the

advantages that the coast TO coast
road would bring TO this district. He
referred to the new Eastern Nevada
highway, the sign-boarding of which
Is now under consideration by the
county commissioners, as <stold in a
recent issue Of the News. and said that
such highway would bring TO Ely a
volume of business which would well
warrant any expenditure which might
be required to put the road in such
shape as would appeal TO the tourist.
He showed clearly that Ely was so
situated geographically that it could
catch tourists travelling over all the
highways If the matter was properly
cared for.
Anthony Zurich was the next speak
er introduced. and he spoke of the
good that could be accomplished by
chamber of commerce. He pointed
out that in the state of Washington
some years ago the city of Tacoma
and Seattle were about on a par so
far as natural advantages were con-
cerned. but by organization and CO.
operation in Seattle the boosters were
able to bring their city TO the front
by rapid strides, while in Tacoma
progress was slow because no or
ganized effort was made to promote it
He urged all to get together and work
in harmony for one common cause.
His remarks were to the point and
were well received by all present.

called upon by the toastmaster and
spoke on the subject of old-timers. His
brief history of the hardahips ex-
perienced in the early days was in
teresting, and as he referred to the stal

had built a city in the sagebrush as
well as opening up one of the greatest
