HALF HOLIDAY IDEA OPPOSED

A bill introduced in the Assembly
making Saturday afternoon a half
holiday for all State and county off,
GERS is bad In all Its features. Why
an officer should be given a half-holi-
day each week and the miner, the
mercantile. postoffice and drygoods
clerks, mechanics, and, in fact, all
branches of trade. work Saturday af-
ternoons? Why not make Wednes-
day another Sunday? The great
trouble with the American nation is
that 1t has too many holiday sand
wiched between the working days,
which is retarding the wheels of
progress. This measure, introduced
in the Assembly. bears the earmarks
of emanating from the State capitol
officials, or some of them. The bill
should be slain.-Tonopah Bonanza.

GASOLINE TAX BILL
LAID ON THE TABLE

The much talked of gasoline tax of
IA cents a gallon for the State of
Nevada was laid on the table in the
Senate Tuesday afternoon. This is
the finish of this bill.
Protests over the passage of the
bill came from all ends of the State.
Nevada people realize that they are
paying the highest price for gasoline
of any State in the Union, and to fix
an additional charge against the ne
cessity was imposing a fine on motor
vehicle travel within the State.
While several amendments were
offered to the bill the majority of the
Senators deemed it unwise to place a
further burden on the people and the
measure rests on the table.

SOMETHING WORTH WHILE

The Humboldt Chamber of Com
merce has approved of a scheme,
which, II It q be put through. will
reclaim q vast number of acres in the
northern end Of that county. The
land IL to be used for soldier settle
ments.
The cooperation of the chamber
members has gone so far that legis-
lative approval of the scheme has
been secured. 1t is proposed to i'm
pound the Owyhee river at food time
and use this water for Summer ir-
rigation.
1t is this sort of work on the part
Of civic or commercial bodies that
really counts. II the Humboldt club
can put 1000 acres under cultivation
with families on each 100 acres it has
done something worth while. 1t is a
tip to u commercial clubs to take
mp the work of populating Nevada.
1t il water we need first, as much of
the land Of the State is all right with
water available. The Humboldt prop
osition is one of the first large under
takings yet worked out by a COM
mercial body and may 1t succeed is
the hope Of the Carson Appeal.

us that the Germany that is now pro-
Tossing itself Mortified at the size of

This offer was made by Count Won

The total he suggested that the AL

PHYSICAL FITNESS LACK
IN YOUNG PEOPLE

Startling facts on the lack of physi-
cal fitness Of the young people of the
country are revealed in figures pre-
scented to q committee Of Congress
now considering the Fess-Capper
physical education BILL. The state
ments backed up BY leading authori-
ties, both military and civil. are re-
garded az being 80 serious that wo-
men OF the country. through their or
CARNATIONS. are beseeching the House
and Senate to take oficial cognizance
Of the situation. II Congress f1nds
the sentiment of the country favor
able, 1t Is said action may be ex-
pected.
Here are some Of the thiags that
have startled Congress: Thirty
even per cent Of the young men Of
the United States were found unfit
for complete military service. This
statement is made by General Leon
ard Wood. The high percentage Of
school children retarded by physical
deficiency adds an unnecessary $32,-
000, 900 annually to the cost of edu-
cation in the United States. Five
million young people under nineteen,
in industry, lose time and pay doctor
bills estimated at 10000 00. The
preliminary physical training of 50.-
900 raw recruits" for the army costs
$4,000 900 every year.
The Fess-Capper bill now being con-
sidered by Congress aims to correct
the alarming condition by establish
ing physical education in the schools.
Il. Dana Caulkins, of Washington. d.
c.. a well known physical education
says this investment would
pay . health dividend of many times
