PESTlLENcE CAUSED BY WAR
enxa Epidemic Was a Direct
Result Of Great Conflict,

SUFFICIENT time mas not yet elapsed
to determine the indirect effects of the
recent eruption Of Mount Kloet In Java
which wiped out over a score of vii
lagos and killed thousands Of the ma
lives, but recollections of Krakatoa's
volcanic outburst 10 1888 which within
six weeks sprinkled its fine lava dust
over the whole world, has given an In
teresting suggestion to certain men,
bers Of the medical profession. During
the closing year of the war an infiu-
enzs epidemic ragged In many parts of
the world. The manner of it's out
break in different countries indicated
that the germs Of the disease had been
conveyed by the currents in the air.
The theory. therefore. has been
preached that the poison gases with
which many sectors Of the fighting
area were drenched were carried by
the wind In every direction. causing
the influenza outbreak In Spain, Ger
many. England, France. South Amer
lea, Australia. Africa. Asia, as well as
in the United States and some Of the
Central American countries. That the
Influenza is a corollary of the war Is
undoubted. Any similar gigantic con.
fiict, is argued would be attended with
a similar widespread pestilence-an-
other reason why every effort should
be made to avert wars in the future

TONG WAR BRINGS
CH|NKS TO NEVADA

The Tong war that has broken out
among the Chinese of California cities
has brought to Reno several wild
eyed Orientals who far prefer to live
at an altitude of 5000 feet above sea
level than to repose six feet below it,
says the Reno Journal. As a result,
Reno police officials have doubled
their vigilance in the Chinese section.
On the brick wall of the New York
restaurant on Lake street has ap-
peared a fiaring yellow poster plen-
tifully dabbed with Chinese hem
scratches, each of which has a little
meaning all its own. To make the
document more impressive there has
been placed at the lower left-hand
corner a great golden seal.
The Bling Tongs and the Hop Sens
are said to have gone on the warpath.
The names of the victim and the killer
are chosen by lot. BY secret means of
communication the victim is apprised
that he is marked man. He is sent
a small package bearing red seal
that he knows is the same as his
death warrant
Word came to Reno Friday night
that the deadly feud was on. For a
time it seemed that the troubles
would be patched up. but when the
decision was reached, six-shooters
were loaded and all precautions taken
to avoid a surprise attack.
I'm these tong wars" said Chief
Kirkley. thousands of dollars are i'm
mediately available for bail of anyone
arrested. 1t is practically impossible
to secure conviction. The best
lawyers are employed for the sus-
poets. and the witnesses do not seem
to know what perjury means. Right
now the Chinese in Reno are all keyed
up and if some one should fire a shot
the Cinnamon would dig in like rats
The man who does the killing is an
outsider. and receives for his part in
the program anywhere from $500 to
$4,000. depending on the prominence
of the victim About three years ago
one Chinaman fell in Reno as a victim
of one of these deadly feuds. He was
punctured with six shots"

S. ?. SUBJECT OF
NEWSPAPER WRATH

The Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany. following the example of the
Pennsylvania and other conservative
eastern railroad companies, has SCI
adrift many thousands of worker
during late days. No employe who Is
not indispensable is to be retained
and as proof Of this one need only cite
the example afforded recently when
many were ousted at Oakland for
failing to vote at the polls on the
last election day after they had been
accorded a two-hour vacation for
the purpose. No excuse or pretext is
too flimoy at this period to be invoked
by employers of men when they want
to do wholesale firing-Fallon Stand
ard.
We can beat that, The Southe
Pacific agent at Nina was canned
for closing the office for two hours
when the force went to vote. At least
that was the excuse given. but We
surmise that the real reason was that
his views on certain matters politi-
cal. did not jibe with those of the
brass collar" Comparing the pres
ent management of the Southern
Pacific with that of the old days it
looks as though the job of manag-
ing that great corporation was too
big for the small calibres In control.
A man may be good switchman and
still make a damn poor manager. So
far as Nevada is concerned. 1t looks
as though the system lost its brains
and foresight when z. f. Calvin, Ed
Manson and other old-timers accepted
positions on other railway systems

CARSON RESIDENT
ALSO asking 'WHY?'
Carson. New. Jan. 10. 1921

Carson. New, Jan. 10. 1921.
Editor Carson Appeal;
was amused at the article In your
paper of this date. headed What Car
son Needs Most" II is typically Car
sonian In its suggestion that the state
should provide the money with which
to find or develop water for Eagle
valley.
As a citizen of the state of Nevada,
even though resident of Carson. one
Is tempted to ask why"
Why should the state provide this
money II the water Is there and the
land fertile and the result will justify
the issues? The money can easily be
obtained from private sources II II
can be shown that 1t will pay rea-
sonable profit on the investment, and
judging by the results of some other
state enterprises 1t will be put
through in much better shape by pri-
vate capital than by the state.
lit is merely wildcat and put for
ward for the sole purpose Of boosting
Carson and Eagle valley without hope
of legitimate return IL would not be
considered by the easiest OF easy
marks and should not be considered
by the legislature.
Up to this time no one has had SUI
flcient faith in the agricultural posi-
bilities of Eagle valley to make any
serious or scientific effort to find out
just what the chances Of obtaining
water really are. and yet probably
every resident In the valley would
vote to take fifty or one hundred thou
sand dollars from the state treasury
for this purpose. and 1t could be spent
In the most careless and unbusiness
like way without any of us protesting
Why should we? We would benefit
even II no water was found and the
cost of II all would come out Of the
pockets of the other counties.
1t is this position which does more
TO hurt Carson in the eyes OF the diff
ferent legislatures which come here
than anything else. 1t is so selfish
and so unpatriotic that the average
member comes TO look upon every
thing proposed by Carson with suspi-
cion and to refuse hearing even to
the worthy projects.
II the 10000 acres of land In Eagle
valley can be developed and made
productive. by all means let US do It.
but let's not come asking the rest OF
the state to do II for us when each
and every county has enough to do
TO develop its own without handing
Carson an irrigation project on a
golden platter. Yours truly.

BEYOND ENDURANCE OF MAN
Why Temperature Of Some Parts Of
ths Tropics Renders Human Life
Impossible.

The range Of temperature variation
OF the human body is so small as to
be practically negligible In comparison
with the wide differences which OBJ
tain In nature. In order that life may
continue, the temperature Of the blood
must be essentially the same in the
arctic regions as II Is at the equa-
tor. For cold climates the tempera-
ture can be maintained by artificial
sources and by clothes which conserve
the heat. Life, however, is continued
where the temperature of the air Is
above that Of the body. In this case
the heat which the body continues to
produce is dissipated without impor-
tant increase of body temperature by
evaporation of moisture In the lungs
and over the surface of the body.
There must, however, be some limiting
condition beyond which life will be
impossible. According to Popular Me-
chanlcs Magazine II has been found
that where the temperature of the air
exceeds that of the body. there is for
each combination Of temperature and
humidity. wind velocity above which
heat will be added to the living body
by contact or convection, more rapidly
than II can be removed by evaporation.
Under these conditions life cannot con-
tinue. AS an example II is stated that
when the humidity Is eight per cent
and the air temperature is 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. life becomes impossible
with wind velocity Of Is meters
(about 400 feet) per second. and that
this may explain the fatal simeon.

Round 26-Johnson rose slowly from
his chair and Willard met him more
than two-thirds of the way acrosssthe
ring. Willard stabbed long left into
the negro's face. sending his head
bobbing back Before the champion
could recover his position Willard
swung a smashing right which landed
full on JohnsOn's stomach. Johnson
was flung against the ropes by the
the rebound The white man tried to
tear lose. but the black held grlmly,
with eyes closed and legs shaking.
Just before the referee broke them
johnson looked over Willards shoul-
der toward the box where his wife
had been. his eyes showing a dazed,
puzzled expression.
AS soon as Welsh had broken the
clinch Jess rushed again. forcing the
negro into Wizards corner where the
finish came. Johnson was slow in
guarding and his strong. youthful
opponent hooked Il swinging left to
