NO SUBSTITUTE
FOR PLATINUM

Government scientists after ex-
tensive investigation at Washington
have found what they declare to be
satisfactory substitutes for platinum
for various purposes, according to
an announcement by the United
States bureau of mines, but in
chemical requirements and for use
in high-duty electrical contacts
however, the announcement said,
no substitute for platinum has ever
been found.
One of the most promising substi-
tutes was said by experts to be
what has come to be known as
"white gold," which is an alloy of
gold and one Of the platinum met
ais. This closely resembles plati-
mum, it was said, and is not
attacked by nitric acid. "White
gold" is used extensively in certain
classes Of jewelry but does not re-
place platinum in the manufacture
of high class jewelry, it was pointed
out.
Experts in the bureau of mines
said that owing to its resistance to
the actions of acids and most chemi-
cal agents, even at high tempera-
ture, and to its high melting point,
platinum has been used extensively
for the manufacture of crucibles,
basins, foils and wire, and for
chemical laboratory work. Most
of the metal produced in the United
States is said to be recovered as q
secondary mineral from placer oper-
atoms and from the electrolytic re-
fining Of gold bullion and blister
content. From time to time, the
bureau said, the beach sands OF
Oregon and Northern California had
been exploited by promoters on the
basis Of the gold and platinum
content.

PRESIDENTS. BIG HEART

The first year of President Hard
ing's administration witnessed the
grant of executive clemency to 303
federal prisoners, which places Pres
ident Harding in the class with Alb
raham Lincoln in extending pardons
and Communication of sentences. The
first year of President Harding's
administration showed he granted
full pardons in % cases, commuted
156 sentences and restored civil
rights to 1875 persons after their re-
lease from prison due to expiration
Of their sentences. During the year
the president also denied appeals
for clemency in 1853 different cases.
In the majority of cases where the
president issued pardons or com
muted sentences it was where in his
opinion, the offenders had not COM
mitted an offence with malice or
premeditation.-Tonopah Times,

delinquent payments Of income ana
internal revenue taxes is being car
ried on in Nevada under the direc-
ton of L. A. Spellier, collector Oh

of the warrants are for taxes OF
liquor but the majority are agains
individuals and corporations that ow'
money to the. government but hav'

In addition to the assessment,
five per cent penalty is added t
the amount and additional one pc
cent per month interest.

SAFETY ORDER To
Be ISSUED SOON

The Nevada public service commits
sion will soon consider adoption of
set of tentative general safety
orders designed to provide insofar
as possible the factor of safety
surrounding the operation of ma
chimes in mills, laundry and other
establishments wherein employees are
exposed to injury unless adequate
measures are taken for their pro-
lection, says the Carson News.
The proposed orders have been
prepared under the direction of F.
W. Ingram, commissioner of labor
for Nevada and are designed to
meet the needs made apparent
through observation and the exper-
fence of the industrial commission
in the settlement of claims for COM
pensation arising from injury.
The orders are nineteen in num-
Der and set out safety requirements
to be observed in the installation
of gears, belts, pulleys, clutches,
belt shifters, shafting, set screws,
sprockets, grinding wheels, shafting,
set screws, ladders, stairways, run
ways, swinging doors and windows,
passageways, keys and keyseats,
floor openings, hoistways, and con-
veyors. Several rules each are pro-
posed regarding many of the SUBJ
jects enumerated. The most atten-
ton, perhaps, is given to grinding
wheels. It is provided, for example
that wherever practicable the hood
guards must be of sufficient
strength to withstand the shock of a
bursting wheel. Directions are CIV
en- for the adjustment of the guard,
and it is expressly provided that
the speed of grinding wheels must
not exceed the speed guaranteed by
the manufacturer. Directions are
given for the unpacking, storing,
delivery, mounting, etc., and the
avoidance of vibration. Tables are
set out giving the diameter of
wheels and the revolutions permitted
per minute for surface speeds rang
ing from 1000 to 5000 feet per
minute.
Mr.. Ingram reports that many of
the mills and plants of the state
are well equipped with safety de-
vices and appliances, but that an
effort will be made to compel all
employers to protect their workers
and operatives.
Decreases in the number of acct
dents and reduction in the indus
trial insurance rates is expected to
follow adoption of the code and
strict observance of the rules pro-
posed.

WHERE is
PEARLINE?

Pearline was once known to ev-
cry housewife, but where is the
housewife that thinks of Pearline to-
day? The chances are she never
heard of it, or will have to stop
and think just what Pearline was.
When the manufacturer of Pearline
died, as the story in the adver-
tisement was told, those who sue
ceeded him thought that it was so
well advertised that it did not need
any further advertising. people
know all about it, and what is the
use of further expenditure" they
argued.
There are business men every
where who often take the same
view of their situation. They argue
that the advertising they have al
ready done has caused the people
to become well acquainted with
them. "The people know where we
are" they say, and so they snuggle
down into the cocoon they have
builded-and in few years, some
times not that long, they are for
gotten. "The fact of the matter is"
said a Winnemucca business man
to us short time ago, IF you get
business today you have got to go
after it. And one of the best
methods in the world is to adver-
tise for it."

SUBSIDIZED
TRACTORS

While we are mulling over the
question of ship subsidy the French
have gone SO far as to substitute
tractors. Tests recently held in
which tractors entered were obliged
to conform to certain specific con-
ditions, the heavy agricultural type
being successful. The purpose of
this subsidization is to constitute
a reserve of military tractor ma
terial for heavy artillery transpor-
tation. It is the desire of the
republicans to form our merchant
marine p naval auxiliary. But our
merchant marine is going to pot un-
less it is enabled to compete with
foreign ocean carriers by means of
subsidy. If the French can sub
sidize their tractors, we ought to
be able to substitute our merchant
marine, the purpose of which would
be to enable US to make our own
deliveries Of American products and
to be equipped with auxiliary de-
tense on the high seas.

they do a machine that costs that
much. And yet no other property
can disappear as quickly. The auto
is here one minute, but in the
hands of a clever thief it is 60

And once gone, once reprinted
and changed around, it is harder to
recover. Therefore, guard your
auto carefully, for the auto thief
is just as apt to turn up in Winnie
mucca as he is anywhere else.

ASSERTS GANG
CONTROLS STATE

The following editorial in the Aus
tin Reveille voices a common ex-
preston of opinion here and there
over the state, and is therefore
worthy of a careful reading by tax
payers everywhere in Nevada.
"That old saying, handed down
from the ancients, whom the gods
destroy they first make mad is ex-
emplified today in the political
gangsters who have the people of
the state of Nevada groveling at
their beck and call.
"Intrenched in office by the will
of a coterie of politicians, whose
haunts are located in the classic
precincts of the capital, and whose
movements are guided and directed
by the fine Italian hands of the
great moguls of Washoe county,
they have built up a political ma
chine, by means Of the divers and
sundry appointive commissions and
departments, until today, no man
can be elected to office without the
consent of the gang.
Eat least that is what they think,
but people from all other portions
of the state have decided that it is
time to call halt on these self
constituted rulers of Nevada and
are going to demand that the entire
state shall have something to say
about these matters during the COM
ing campaign.
ut is not question Of party
politics, for Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will be working hand in hand
to secure a set of men for office
who will have some consideration
for the urgent needs of the COM
mon people and not for the de-
sires Of a bunch of office holders.
Farmers and ranchers have long
demonstrated at the reckless and
wasteful expenditures of hard
earned tax money, which has been
used to keep a horde of useless
employees holding down easy jobs
SO that they might be on hand at
voting times.
men owning little homes in the
towns and who work for their
daily bread, are tired of walking
up and paying greatly increased
taxes to keep these lily white hand
ed chairwarmers in soft jobs.
There is scarcely a newspaper
in the state, outside of a few
which feed at the gangsters' trough,
that is not voicing the sentiments of
their patrons in this matter in no
uncertain words.
mo one doubts that these men
are mad with power, and even they
are beginning to see the handwrit-
ing on the wall and trimming their
sails to meet the coming storm.
1.-THE will of the people will be
stronger and more effective than
the tactics Of the gang"

In at least one particular the
present congress is unique. Never
has the charge of extravaganza
been raised against it. Certain
criticisms have been made of some
of the appropriation bills, but they
have charged too much economy
rather than too generous allotments.
1t is doubtful if there ever was an
other congress in the history of the
government with a similar record.

GUARD YOUR
AUTO

The Chicago crime commission
has been making an investigation
of the theft Of automobiles. It
finds that the majority Of cars are
stolen between the hours of 1880
p. m. and midnight, with the crest
of pilfering developing around 10
o'clock each night. By far the
greatest number of machines are
taken, not for their value, but to
be used in various forms of law
breaking. The findings of the COM
mission also show that auto own
ers do not take the same degree
of care of property in this form that
they do in others. A man or woman

A BIG
SERMON


Luther Burbank, plant wizard,
was 70 years old a few weeks ago
and he took occasion to preach a
splendid little sermon that every
reader of the Silver State will do
well to remember. II am con-
vinced," said the great creator of
new plants and trees, "that the
same treatment and care necessary
to the highest development of plant
life is also essential to the highest
development of human life. l am
speaking Of the boy or girl who is
reared in the only place that is
truly fit to bring up child or plant
the country, the small town
for the nearer to nature they are
brought up the better it will be
for them and for the great world
of which they are to become a
part. In the successful cultivation
of plants there must be an absolute
honesty. You cannot deceive nature
or thwart her without the conse-
quences falling back on your own
head. So be honest with your
child"

Veterans Employment Service.

The Veterans Bureau has COM
pleted a survey of the employment
situation among rehabilitated voca-
tional students of the Bureau. The
survey was conducted by the EN-
ployment Service through the assist
ant employment representative sta
toned in the District and Sub-dis-
trict offices.
''The employment situation among
our rehabilitated vocational trainees
is very satisfactory, Col. Charles R..
Forbes, Director of the Bureau stated
today. "The establishment of the
Employment Service of the Veterans
Bureau is justified by the results OBJ
tanned to date. When it is taken in
to consideration that approximately
20,980 men have been rehabilitated,
it is very surprising to note that only
negligible number of graduate vo-
cational students are unemployed"
The survey shows that District No.
8 including the states of Illinois,
Wisconsin and Michigan is in very
good condition as far as employment
is concerned. The report states that
the only men who are unemployed
are those who will not accept employ
ment in the trade for which they
have been trained and are endeavor-
ing to secure additional training.
Where the case is meritorious the
Veterans Bureau will permit a
change of vocational objective and
allow additional training.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

Women of Mineral Point: The
taxable property owned by our people
amounts to over 100000. Lets
ask our husbands, brothers, fathers,
friends to set aside five cents out of
every dollars worth of property they
own to start a fund just to give
away. Then they will all have
enough to more than pay their share
for the new school, costing $125, 900.
The five cent fund would be $780,
900. We would still have $55,
scattered among us.
$55,OO0 would go toward a COM
munity Tabernacle, in our new park,
where we could shout our praise to
God because he gave us vision
enough to do this. Let's make our
city shine. 1t is on many hills If
we do, we would be different than
any other city. We would set our
selves and the world a pace. To my
mind, what is needed most is the
right steward ship og Gods money.
The gold and silver are His.
One of You.

The Tide Turns.

Exchange: In spite of all pre-
cautions sgrade-crossing accidents
are multiplying rapidly, and the loss
of life is appalling. People seem re-
gardless of danger, or become so oc-
cupied in conversation they are un-
conscious of it. The chief of the ac-
cident-claim department of a very
large road, told me of one such,
which occurred recently.
A long freight train was nearing a
country highway, at not over 18
miles an hour, over level track. It
was bright sunny day. The loco-
motive and several cars had already
passed over the highway, when the
conductor and one brakeman looking
out the cupola window, saw an open
car approaching at rapid speed and
fully half mile away. The highway
was also level and there was nothing
whatever to obstruct the view from
either automobile or train. The au-
to approached without in the least
slackening its speed, and struck the
second freight car from the rear end
of the train. The auto was a COM
plete wreck, but it's four male occu-
pants escaped permanent injuries.
Their explanation was they under
estimated the length and speed. of
the freight train and didn't think it
was worth while to slacken speed,
much less stop, as they expected to
shoot across just behind the caboose.
The railroads have borne without
much complaint the burden of such
accidents all these years, but the
tremendous increase in the number
of cars, and apparently, in the care
lessness of their drivers, has reached
a point where they may be expected
to react. In other words, the worm
is beginning to turn.
We have evidence of this in re-
cent court decision, where a driver
sued the Pennsylvania Railroad for
damages to his car, which plainly re-
suited from his having carelessly
run into fast passenger train The
railroad sued the man for damages
to it's gates, which were proved to be
down, and through which the car
crashed because it's driver failed to
reduce his speed
The case is interesting as the first
of it's kind, and as the prospect is
that other roads will likely follow
the same course, it evidently be-
hOoves the driver of an auto to stop,
look, and listen, and have his car
under control before he decides to
run down the cannon-ball f1ier or
even a way freight.
