DELAY IS FEARED
ON THE ROAD BILL

The Congressional Record OF last
week contains a very interesting ae-
count Of the debate and the prelim-
inaries leading up to the bringing
out Of the good roads bill, which was
finally passed by the Senate This
bin is one Of the most important for
Nevada to be before Congress for
many years. and the leading part
taken by Senator Key Pittman to
bring the bill u from its pigeon
hole before adjournment is one of
the notable features of the record.
Nevada's senior Senator proved a
powerful factor in getting this meas
ure through the Senate. and his great
service in this respect should not be
overlooked by this State. His init
alive and ability largely forced the
issue to a successful climax.
The Gazette says. however. that
reports received in Reno Monday
by C. c. Cottrell. State Highway En-
gineer, were not encouraging for
passage of the Federal aid road bill
by the House prior to the recess.
Telegraphic advices to Mr.. Cot
trell from Congressman Arentz were
to the effect that the Nevada repre-
| sentative had been informed by House
leaders that there would be little
prospect of the bill going through.
Congressman Arentz also advised
that western members had entered q
vigorous protest against any pro-
gram designed for delay.

THE REMEDY

Two problems" says John s.
Drum. president Of the American
Bankers Association must be solved
before the economic structure of the
country is brought back to a normal
basis.
"One of these is to harmonic the
cost of production and distribution
with selling prices. and the other is
the creation of foreign trade machin-
cry which will enable the country to
dispose Of its surplus production"

THE OUTBREAK OF
ANTHRAX IS SERIOUS

Supervisor MCGOWAN of the Tofy-
abe Forest Reserve took advantage
OF an opportunity recently to call
upon DR.. Nelson of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry. who was testing
cattle and horses with anthrax ser
um. He was informed that consid-
cradle loss from anthrax has already
occurred in the Battle Mountain and
Beowawe sections. and that several
Federal and State veterinarians are
very busily engaged In an effort to
treat the livestock in the affected
areas and hope to localize the out
break.
The doctor stated that any animal
dying from any cause not positively
known. should be tested at the labor
atory in the Nevada State University.
and suggested that at least n ear,
or for that matter, both Ears from
the animal be placed in q can or other
sealed container and sent immediate
ly to the laboratory. Sufficient blood
would be secured for investigation
purposes in this way.
Generally, the symptoms In An
thrax cases of the most common form.
are q very high fever. and serious
COLES are often present. Local an
thrax tumors appear externally, first
near the shoulders. neck and head,
which give rise to a collection of ba-
GILL within the blood vessels of the
part whose resulting Inflammation
gives rise to the swellings or car
buncles. Hemorrhages may be found
in almost all parts of the body. There
will be swellings of the spleen. the
liver and the kidneys. and the blood
will be Of a muddy or tarry appear
ance and incoagulabie. Generally,
under range conditions, the animal
will be dead before anything is not
iced to be wrong.
Since the human family Is suscep-
tible to this disease. 1t is especially
important that its progress be care
fully watched and. In ase of any un-
usual loss Of stock, stockmen are adj
vised to report promptly. any case OF
death among animals
For the reason that the spread of
this disease, II taken in hand prompt

ment is very anxious to take steps at
once to locate and prevent any spread

ARSHP SPLITS IN TWO
The Orders amidships broke and
the ship split in halves.

mediately pointed downward and the
halves started to descend toward the
Humber.

sensation. but | thought my time had

BUSHES FOR PARACHUTE
"I made a rush for the tail to get
a parachute. but I found W of my
English comrades. Harry Bateman

there. knew there was only one
chute there for the three Of US. Bate
man had the chute and jumped, but

forward for other parachutes, but

an explosion of either a petrol tank
or hydrogen and flames Immediately
began to sweep the forward part OF

What was happening to our COM

crew were amidships, either seated or
lying In their hunks when the Orders
broke. At least one man dropped
through the gap made by the break.
Possibly others did. but probably
most of them rolled forward when
the airship's nose went down.

this time the gas was becoming de-

bred feet up.

the water. so I climbed on the fabric

tell how fast we were falling. but
when l thought we we're going to

strike the bottom. I had landed in
four feet of water near the shore.

and continued to cling to her as she
struck. l managed to scramble
