Get Rich Scheme Is
 Based on Gold Ships

London, March 22-Salvaging torpe- doed bullion ships is the latest get rich-quick scheme in England.
 An engineer is now advertising. in the newspapers that, with a few thousand dollars, he can salve a. yes -sel with S10,000,000 worth of bullion. He claims to have exclusive informa- ton regarding the location and of fers to recover the money within three weeks.
 The British Admiralty admit the possibility ofs the feat. They confess that during the last four years they have raised 44o important vessels and recovered property to the value of $250, ,060. GOO.
 In addition, they have the charted position of over 2.000 British mer- chant vessels. many of which contain great quantities of valuable. Near ly 2O00,0oO of tonnage is within easi- iy workable depth.
 But it's not allowable for private people 10 go to work on their own account and raise these vessels. The British Treasury lays claim to them all, and before a person can attempt salvage he must first buy the vessel at the figure the Treasury Imposes and then take all risks.

 q. Can an amplif1er tube be used as a detectOr?

RADIO REPLIES.

David L. Billings of Judson Apart mentS, has just had a 200 it. single wire aerial sighting switch and No. 4 ground wire installed to Underwrit- CTS requirements by c. Wight of 1, B. R. L.
 The R. 22 that has been buzEing in the harbor once in Q while was re- cently heard from Charleston, s. C., all up the coast, transmitting on her new 50 watt tube set.
 Sydney Cohen is obtaining excel lent results on the radio phone re- ceiving set that he recently built at small cost.
 Gilbert Williams of West avenue has a very efficient sending set con structed by himself, that has been reported heard in Boston and New Hampshire. He uses but a F kilo- watt transformer and rotary gap of the usaI type. Gilbert says the only fault he finds with his set is that visitors at his home never gave him much of a chance to listen in to the br roadcaSting stations. His call is 1. B. s. R.
 Much credit should be given the Radio Club of this city for the quiet ness of the air during the time when the broadcasting stations are in op- eration. Formerly many spark sets with broad waves interferred with the reception of music.

Olympic Game
 DatesPrepared byFrenchBOdy

Paris Mare h22.-A schedule for the olympic games of 1924 has been prepared by the French olympic com is still in doubt. Following ort the de- termination to give all competing na- tions ample time to prepare for the events and the journey to Paris, dates have been set for all forms sport. com posing the program. The competition has been divided into three groups consisting of winter, spring and sum mer games, with the opening event set for January 20 and the closing con test 2S.
 The various forms of skating com petition which will inaugurate the eight o1ympiad will continue from January 20 to February fifth. The oth- CT events will be held in the follow ing order:
 Association football March 15 to June I: shooting June 2s-July T; June 2s-July 4; Water pobo, June 2s-July l. Tennis July 6-1s; Yacht ing June 24-July IT; Swimming July 1920; Gymnastics July 1923; Bicycle 2S: Boxing July 10-19.
 While these dates are subject to change should majority of the com petfting nations request, it is expected that future variations will be minor, as the French committee had adhere to the request of the national feder- ation to prepare which could be com p!eted in approximately a month of competition. Eliminating skating and football which require special condf- tions, this has been accomplished and thre appears little reason for any radical changes in the dates.
 Although the United States is ex- pected Ito enter teams in virtually all the contests. the American athletes will be particularly interested in track and field competitions.

though urged many times by his ad- mirers to accept the highest honor in the gifty of the city, which he dearly loved.
 He preferred private business be- cause it enabled him to be with those he loved Inost-his family and friends. His family life was ideal and no one prized more highly the clean, sweet atmosphere of home and the campan- ionship of his wife and children. Truly, in his case was his word his bond. A man of high purposes, too high in every way to bother with petty things, trying harder to an unusual degree, his death although not unex- pected because of his long illness, brings genuine regret to all who had the honor to know him.
 Friends tho scare we sometimes find, Whose hearts are always true and
 warm
 Who like the ivy round a tree,
 Cling closest in the raging storm.
 That was the friendship typif1ed in John A. Hurley, a just man; a true friend and one of Gods noblemen.

LOndoners Find How To Save
 The RaindrOps

London. March 22.-How to wash and use the minimum of water is the advice now being given to London CTS by the Metropolitan Water Board.
 Waste not, want not" is the motto of the board, and they are endeavor- ing to point out to London that un- less all care is taken, unless there Is an abnormal rainfall in the mean time. London will be faced with a severe dought of water during next summer.
 From. April to November, fin 1921, scarcely a drop of rain feIl in Lon don and roundabout Consequently all the reservoirs and springs sup exhaustion, and every precaution has to be taken to secure an adequate supply during next June, July and August.
 s'Bath Is Wastefup'
 Take the ordinary bath," says the Water Board: that is wasteful to a deplorable extent
 When water is superabundant the waste matters little, but the reverse is true in times of stresss. It is amazing how little water is really re- quired to keep one clean and refresh ed.
 eff a little water is poured into a basin and the basin placed in the bath to control the effects of splash ing the use of soap and a sponge en- a'bleS one to enjoy all the delights of cleanliness without any twinges of re- morse.
 How to Wash
 AS regards washing the hands and face it is unnecessary to have the basin even half full. A very little water and plenty of soap is all that Is needed, and a little extra. clean wa tern ter may be used to remove the dirty
 Many people, without thinking, wash their hands under a running tap-perhaps three or four times dur ing the days work. This ruuning-tap habit is so wastefu1 as hardly to need comment.
 'It Is no e0aggeration to say that the bath water could be reduced ten times and the water used for washing the hands and face halved without infringing the laws of decency.''

over the chairmanship of the com mitee temporarily until a definite dis position of it's affairs is made.
 The development of the Benefit Shop from an idea to an organization which has shown a profit of a, S5.0o0 in a little more than year has re- Nacumen on the part of Mrs. Simpson. It was while she was a member of the special committee of the Charity Organization Society, that committee which deals with the poor and con- sequently always is in need of mon ey, that Mrs. Simpson conceived the idea of starting 8, Benefit Shop here There was a similar organization in her home town, Yonkers, N. Y., in which her sister was greatly inter ested and Mrs. Simpson saw in such a shop here a means for adding much needed revenue to the income of this committee.
 Mrs. Simpsons idea was eagerly seized upon by members of the com mittee and since she had suggested it, she was made chairman of the Benefit Shop committee and conse- quently responsible for it's successful working out. She succeeded in in women of the city in the project and as a result, among themselves, they contributed enough in money and clothing to open the store in October, 1920.
 One paid worker was procured to manage the shop and all the other help was given through the Volun- teer workers, a corps of prominent young society women who give a. DOT ton of their time weekly to serve as markers and sales ladies in the shop
 Since then the shop has gone on with almost unbelievable success. Clothes and household articles have been donated by interested people and collected weekly by trucks, whose services were given by manufactur- CTS. After deducting $200 8 month fn, nf 1a IOr Inc tire remainder has gone to the spe-i cial relief committee of the c. O. S.. where the money has been devoted to helping the unfortunate. In little more than year S5,000 has been turned over to this committee by the shop.
 In this way, the shop has been per forming a double service to the Jess fortunate of the city. Not only has it provided excellent clothing for all members of a family at a ridtculously small sum, but the money obtained from them has gone to aid some other poor family. The good it has done in the months since it opened here cannot be estimated.
 But the work has grown to such an extent that it requires almost the whole time Of the chairman of its committee and Mrs. Simpson with the cares of a family and the demands tfons in which she is interested. felt that 1t should be turned over to some one who could give more time to the details of managing it.
 Mrs. Simpson has always been known for her great interest in char itable organizations of the city. Be- sides her connections with the Ben eft Shop and the Special Relief com mtttee of thee. O. &, she is chairman of the West End Day Nursery com mittee, a branch of the Associated Charities, and she is also a member of the board of the Y w. C. A and of the Protestant Widows Society.

MORE HOMES FOR
CARDNERVILLE

For the past several years the de-
mand for homes in Gardnerville has
far exceeded the supply and this con-
dition, in considerable degree, has
greatly retarded the growth OF the
town, and the fact has been recogniz-
ed by leading citizens. The Overland
Holding company, which recently pur-
chased the Imelli property. and which
is made up of Gardnerville men, is
seriously considering proposition to
enter the real estate and improve
ment business, and contractors are
now at work figuring out the cost OF
a number of cottages planned by the
Overland Holding company, and
which are to be erected near the
Catholic church.
Hardly a week passes that some
family does not make inquiry for a
home in Gardnerville and inasmuch
as there is not a suitable vacant
house in the town, those people are
forced to go elsewhere. Last year
when the local schools opened, there
we're at least six families desirons
of locating here in order that their
children could attend the Douglas
county high school, and at that time,
as now, there was not an available
dwelling in the town.
