The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1922-07-22

Returning from an extended trip
covering a period of over eight
months, State Senator c. Unieake
arrived in Lovelock this week, says
the Reyiew-Miner. Sailing from
New York on October 10, his
journey took him through England,
France and. Italy. He was a pas
senger, going over, on the former
"Imperator," at one time the great
est ship anoat.
He spent three weeks in London
visiting many of the principal points
of interest and was for one day a
guest in the House of Commons.
From London he went to Paris and
there visited several of the cathed-
rails and saw the results of the bonn
bardment by the Germans with their
long range gun. He also visited the
Notre Dame and was greatly i'm
pressd with its magnificence.
From Paris he went down to the
towns along the Rivera, including
Nice and Monte Carlo. His de-
scription Of the Casino is especially
interesting. Due to government
control the gaming in the Casino is
conducted much more fairly than in
the days when the place was MAX
ing its reputation. The police, how
ever, are on the constant lookout
for attempted suicides. Possibly
due to the beauty of the great gar
dens, possibly due to losses suf-
fered at the games, suicides are
very frequent. In one case a
woman, sitting at one of the tables,
took a simple aspirin tablet. The
gerdarmes resorted to their usual
measures to prevent death and
speedily removed the woman to the
hospital and there applied the meas
ure given to persons suspected of
taking morphine.
In another case, Mr.. Uniacke wit
messed suicide from distance.
Whenever bodies are found about
the gardens, the officials stuff the
pockets with quantities of currency
to prevent the stories going out
that suicide was due to losing
money at the tables.
The trip took the party to Venice
where the takes were floating gon-
dolas. In Venice the points of in
terest, including the famous Bridge
of Signs, were visited. Upon leav-
ing Venice they visited several
noted lakes and finally returned to
Paris.
From Paris Mr.. Uniacke returned
to London by air. He flew in a
two-motored Handley-Page biplane
seating IL passengers. The fare
amountd to 800 frances. In addi-
ton to the passengers a total load
of baggage weighing six tons could
be carried. The land in England
was made at Cricklewood, where
the plane TAXED up to the door of
the custom house and their baggage
and passports examined.
The treatment received from Gus
toms and immigration officials
throughout the trip was excep-
tionally courteous and efficient The
return voyage was made on the
S. S. Majestic, the largest ship on
the ocean. They disembarked on
the Foruth of July and found the
heat so terrible in New York that
plans for an immediate departure
were made.
In England, the senator says, over
100000 men are unemployed /;
another 100000 are working part
time. Industry has not yet been
able to absorb the men who have
been serving in the armies for years.
Especially noticeable are the great
numbers of wounded men about
the streets of the cities. The gov
eminent is providing for those who
are unable to earn livelihood
and is assisting those without work
to live until they can locate per-
manent employment.
