SOUTHERN PACIFIC FREIGHT
MEN CHANGE TERMINALS

The Encouragement of crews in the
Southern Pacific freight service be-
tween Carlin and INLAY becomes eff
fective tomorrow, and crews leaving
today will take their newly assigned
positions. says the Sparks Tribune.
Eleven crews will be assigned to
Sparks with six extra conductors
Eleven crews will be assigned to Car
lin with two extra conductors.
Extra men will be stationed at both
points as the traffic to be handled
demands.
This change comes at the solicita-
ton of the men, and is put into effect
after negotiations have been pending
for many months. The idea Is to
avoid the long absence away from
home, and will enable the men in
freight train service to be home at
least every other night. AS the runs
have been hitherto, the men would be
away from home at least four days,
and IL they were turned back from
any point on the road. they would be
away from home six or seven days.

tract of 60xS5 feet previously sold to
DR.. S. L. Lee. 1t Is valued at $500.
Club members forced the purchase
of the land, not for speculative pur-
poses, but with the idea of turning
1t over to the municipality for use
as park. The matter was discussed
freely at the club meeting last night.
and the vote In favor OF the purchase
and dedication to park use was unan-
imous.-Carson News.

FALL0N JAIL HOLDS FIRST
WOMAN PRISONER IN YEARS

II fell to the lot of Madeline STAN
ley. 22-year old girl of Salt Lake City,
Utah. to be the first woman occupant
of the Churchill county jail. The To-
cal hoosgow was erected about four
teen years ago and has been the head
quarters for many folks bent on
criminality, but until Friday evening
when Miss Stanley was thrust into
durance vile no woman had ever been
locked within its walls.
Miss Stanley looks like 17-year-
old, is pretty, slight OF stature and
has nerve" in plenty. The truth of
this is shown when 1t is known that
she decamped from Reno with a Ford
car belonging to J. M. Heath, state
highway department employee who
formerly worked in the vicinity.
She went TO jail with considerable
brayado and If the experience is the
first of the sort for her she proved
to be splendid actress. for she in
sisted on being friendly with the
sheriff.
The belief is entertained by peace
officers and by automobile insurance
companies that an organized gang of
thieves operates in Reno and the sus-
plcion exists that the Stanley girl
may be an important unit in the Or
Standardization Standard.

1t was at first thought that death
was due to natural causes when his
body was discovered. as no blood
could be seen. but upon examination
the bullet was seen and blood was
found inside the clothing. The dis

ODD|E TELLS WHY
HE OPPOSED BONUS

1t may be interesting to note that
the Elko and Winnemueca posts of
the American Legion are among the
very few in the country that did not
go on record as protesting against
President Harding's action on the
bonus measure. While favoring COM
pensation in the form of bonus. land
settlement or some other form of
aid to the men who gave from eight
cen months to three years of their
time to the government al $50 per
month, the general belief here seems
to be that the money would be better
spent in building industries that will
give permanent employment to many
of the veterans who are now living
from hand to mouth.
Senator Pittman voted for imme-
date passage of the bonus. Senator
eddie favored delay. and his telegram
to Commander Payne of the American
Legion. department of Nevada, ex-
planning his vote. follows:
Your wire urging me to vote
against bohu
bill received. After listening to all
debate and argument and carefully
studying and considering the matter
from every angle. am convinced re-
commitment to be for the best inter-
est, not only of our soldiers. but
which is of far greater Importance
because of its effect upon every citi-
zen of the country as a whole. | have
therefore voted accordingly. Am
also convinced this action will result
in satisfactory legislation later on
without unnecessary delay when our
country is in better condition to pro-
vide the ways and means.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
URGED AT CONFERENCE

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j.. March l.
Arguments in favor of the develop
ment of nationwide physical educa-
tion under independent local and state
auspices were voiced here yesterday at
the physical education conference in
connection with the annual conven-
tion Of the National Education As
ISOLATION. The conference was pre-
sided over by DR.. p. p. Claxton,
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation.
Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, promi-
nent Washington socialogist, laid be-
fore the conference some interesting
hgures on the progress of physical
education in foreign countries. She
said she had just returned from a trip
in South America where she found
many governments actively taking
up the promotion of physical edu-
cation for the youth, while Sweden
and Japan have required this type
Of education for all children for many
years.
I'm 1918, physical examination Of
the Swedish children in the schools
showed "a per cent with unsatisfac-
tory physical development and 1913
per cent possessed with unsatisfac-
tory health. England, France, and
Holland have recently taken steps
to adopt similar educational courses
in their schools" Mrs. Barrett said.
