Sweet odors.

Sweet and aromatic odors have al
ways been in request among mankind
Eastern nations especially have ever
been noted for their intense love of
perfumes. Some years ago Professor
Tyndall showed that sweet and
aromatic odors were cooling to rooms
in other words, their presence bars
out heat-rays Of the sun, allowing
those of light chiefly to enter. An
ether-spray of perfume, kept up for
few minutes in summer room too

RECALL PETITION
MUST GO THROUGH

An opinion prepared by Attorney
General Leonard B. Fowler at the re-
quest OF the Pershing county authori-
ties appears to be such as to pre-
clude possibility of compromise
among the factions involved in the
Goodin recall cmbroglio even should
the principals themselves become dis
posed, says the Reno Gazette.
Th effect of Mr. Fower's opinion
is that the petition cannot be with
drawn nor can any of the signatories
authorize withdrawal of their names.
The constitution of the state of Ne
vada will not permit it. nor will the
section of the statute. Mr. Fowler
says.
In Reno a few days ago, the attor-
ney-general said that shortly after the
petition was filed, H. j. Murrish, dis
trict attorney of Pershing county
called upon him for an opinion Mr.
Murrish wantcl to know whether or
not any of the persons signing their
names to the instrument could legal
ly withdraw. An examination of the
authorities convinced Mr.. Fowler that
a recall petition once placed on file
in the proper place could not be
altered.
Later J. H. Causten. county clerk of
Pcrshing made trip to Carson and
took the matter up personally with
the attorney-gencral. The authori-
ties were cited to Mr. Causten in sup
port OF the state officers position and
he returned to Lovelock
The Lovelock recall. while of it
self is limited to the jurisdiction OF
Pcrshing county. is of tremendous I'M
portance to the state because it is an
experiment and the opinion of the at
torney-general was one OF the inevi-
table developments in the applica-
ton of the recall in this state.
1t is apparent from the conduct Of
the Pershing officials that an effort
has been made to kill the recall move
ment before it progressed to the cleo
ton stage. Reports from the meet
ing of citizens with the board OF coun-
ty commissioners held at Lovelock on
Thursday tend to support this belief.
Public spirited citizens there are OF
the opinion that the whole thing, re-
CARELESS Of the merits of it, casts an
odum on the fair name OF the COM
munity. As Mr.. Friedman said. it

THINGS WE DON'T SEE

If you were to pass along the street
with head high in the air you might
step on twenty dollar bill without
seeing it, while the man with his
eyes below the clouds would pick it
up.
In that simple statement there is
mighty sermon which it would prof
it us to learn and heed.
There are none OF us SO great but
what we can afford to be humble
none so far seeing but what we can
profit by looking around us.
Success is founded upon our ability
to observe and take care OF the little
things of life. for it from them the
big ones grow.
The things we don't see are our
chief distractions in the world of at
fairs. yet to the man who keeps his
mind high and his eyes upon the
ground they are plain to be seen.
and are but stepping stones to greater
achievements.
Let us take the lesson home to
ourselves in the beginning OF this new
year There arc many little things
in this community that need attention.
but we can not see them if we dream
only of the end, adm give no thought
to the beginning.

FIVE AIRPLANES WRECKED
DURING STORM PERIOD

Five airplancs have been cracked ur
and the air mail service between Sar
Francisco and Salt Lake badly dis
rupted by the stormy period of the
past few weeks, according to recent
published reports On the Reno Elko
unit two ships went down in the
storms, one was burned up between
Ely and E.lko, one landed on the
mountains, near Elko on the Elko-
Salt Lake unit and one landed at
Truckec on the Reno-San Francisco
trip.
Three of the planes that went out
of commission were badly damaged
and two of them were showed in at
points where they will probably re-
main for some time.
Snow and fog were the chief enc
mics of the aviators. The foggy
weather of last week put two planes
out of commission. Pilot Moulton
going into Reno late i'll the afternoon
could not locate the landing field and
dropped onto Mount Rose i'll about
five feet of snow. His plane was
badly damaged although he escaped
without injury.
Pilot Johnson coming up from San
Francisco was unable to find the
Reno field and after flying over the
city for an hour started back to San
Francisco and landed at Truckec i'll
